TRAVELLING LIBRARIES
FOR RURAL TENNESSEE

The last legislature of Tennessee
made an appropriation to establish a
system of free travelling libraries to be
operated under the direction of the
Tennessee free library commission.
Travelling libraries are collections of
fifty books of general reading which are
loaned to any community in the state
not accessible to library center. They
consist of books of interest in biogra.
ply, history, travel and a liberal sup
ply of fiction and books for children.
In addition there is a special collec-
ton of the latest and best books on ag-
riculture, covering broadly the most
important features of modern agricul-
tural practice in the south, and choice
collection of books on household eco.
nomics to supply the women of Tennes.
see with helpful literature on this i'm
portant subject.
Any community or club may form a
travelling library association by obtain
ing the signatures of three responsible
citizens to the agreement blank fur
nished on application.
1t is required that a suitable place
for the library be provided, one that is
easily accessible to the entire neighbor-
hood. The local librarian is responsible
for the care and return of the books.
The library may be kept for period
of three to six months, and at the ex-
piration the books can be returned and
another set obtained.
The only cost is the payment of
freight charges from and back to Nash
vile.
A club should be formed and an ap-
plication card sent to Mrs. Pearl Will
liams Kelley, general secretary Tennes-
see free library commission, the capitol,
Nashville, Tenn, before other counties
exhaust the supply of libraries.
Upon request of any town desiring to
establish library Mrs. Kelley will
make a personal visit, giving informa-
tion as to ways and means on all mat
ters pertaining to the organization and
of library. IN ashville

WILSON AND HARMON.

Neither Woodrow Wilson nor Judsor
Harmon voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896
Gov. Wilson voted for Palmer and
Buckner, and Gov. Harmon, then .
member of the Cleveland cabinet, re
mained in Washington. Both, it ap
pears, were subsequently irregular" in
their voting and Gov. Harmon made
speeches for Mr.. Bryan 1900.
These records are now being discuss
ed in Texas, and the Houston Post, that
is of the Harmon following, seems dis
posed to argue that its candidate is the
more acceptable because he refrained
from voting, while Gov. Wilson voted
for "the boiling ticket"
That is strange contention, and one
that illustrates the illogic of politics.
The Post, that is sometimes said to be
controlled by Senator Bailey, is not
friendly to Mr.. Bryan or his policies,
while Mr.. Bryan is distinctly hostile to
Gov. Harmon, and is said to prefer
Woodrow Wilson to any other candi-
date.
But why should the vote any man
cast, or failed to cast, fifteen years ago
on an issue now dead, affect his present
to the presidency? 1t is the

CHIEF WRESTLER
WITH STEEL TRUST
A JOB THEY WOULD HIKE
Glory Awaits Him-Victory In
Difficult Task Ahead of Him
Add Lustre to His Fame.

Washington, Oct. 3O.-Because of his
selection as special counsel for the gov.
eminent, to conduct the case against
the United States Steel Trust, former
Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson,
of Tennessee, has been thrust into the
limelight in fashion calculated to
make him the envy of lawyers all over
the country. If he wins the case Judge
Dickinson will add splendidly to his
name as lawyer, for in the titantic
legal struggle impending he will be
pitted against the most brilliant and
adroit minds that money can employ,
He will have under him a corps of
strong government attorneys, for At
torney General Wickersham says other
eminent counsel will be retained.
The selection of Judge Dickinson is
due to the fact that he and the attorney
general are fast friends. Mr.. Wicker
sham regards him as an exceptionally
strong lawyer. Their association in the
cabinet was pleasant. AS general
counsel for the Illinois Central, Judge
Dickinson was accounted lawyer who
knew his business. +. III. Hartman
was not accustomed to have any other
kind around him. 1t is we'll remem-
bered that when he appeared before the
Alaska boundary tribunal in London
as counsel for the United States, Judge
Dickinson made an argument that was
q masterpiece, and for which he was
highly comphmented.
Judge Dickinson is not rich man, it
is said He will get a handsome fee
from the government, the size of which
will depend largely on the length of
time consumed in the litigation.
1t is likely to be several years before
the case is fought through the supreme
court, providing the steel interests do
not prefer recognizing to battle.
In political way his selection will
give satisfaction in the south generally.

TENNESSEE IS
LEADING FIGHT
FIRES THE FIRST BIC GUN
Wants Long Distance Lines Declar-
ed Public Carriers Like Rys.
by Interstate Commission.

Washington, Oct, 30.-To Tennessee
belongs the credit of firing the first
shot in the long promised fight between
the telephone monopoly and the inde-
pendents.
In com paint bristling with charg.
es of oppression, coercion, intimidation
and discrimination the Home Tele-
phone Co., of Clarksville, Tenn, local
corporation having long distance con-
nection into Kentucky and other states
demands an investigation of the trust
at the hands OF the interstate commerce
commission and asks that it be adjudg-
ed monopoly in restraint of trade.
While ostensibly acting for itself, the
complaining company is understood
to be really representing all the indie.
pendent telephone companies of the
country and the telepost automatic
telegraph system, in pursuance of
pre-arranging plan to break the stran-
gle hold held by the monopoly and its
allied interests over the telephone and
telegraph business of the United States.
Coincident with the filing of the Home
company's complaint, citizens of Den
yer, Col, acting for the telepost, have
forwarded to the interstate commerce
commission a petition asking for an
Investigation of the telegraph trust.
This insures thorough house-clean-
ing in the two important fields of inter-
state communication and it is expected
will bring to light the whole inside
story of the interlacing connections of
the wire trust and its gentlemen's
agreements to maintain prices, regulate
and control service.
In its complaint, charging the mo-
noply with restraint of trade, the
Home company cites the fact that for
some time it maintained long distance
connection into KENTUCKY through the
long distance company. The Home Co
claims it supplied the money for the
construction of this company's lines
and equipment and held majority of
its stock. Recently there was default
of interest on the bonds of the long dis
tance company and the Alabama and
Tennessee Telephone and Telegraph Co.
was organized to take over and operate
its properties.
After this was effected the Alabama
and Tennessee company sold out to the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Co., subsidiary of the trust This
accomplished, the monopoly cut the
wires connecting it with Home Co. and
refused to transmit for that corpora
ton any long distance business over
its wires. Holding that this is in vio-
lation of interstate commerce, the
Home Co. asks the commission to de-
clare the long distance lines public
carriers like the railroads and compel
the Cumberland Go. TO restore the con-
nections to its station and give it
through service to all long distant
points. If the application is granted
its effectswill be to lower long dis
tance telegraph tolls to all of the inde-
pendents throughout the country for a
long distance service over the Bell
wires. The point raised is the most
one upon which to pass
judgment concerning the telephone
business of the country.
