FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1911.
TENNEssEE's NEW SENATOR.

Senator Luke Lea being a young
man and little known outside of his
native state, there is a general desire
for information about him. Here is an
extract from an editorial in his paper
the Tennessean, which locates him
politically:
In the days gone by spell-binders
and oratorical skyscrapers told the
people what had to be done, and it
Was done, but now the people in plain
terms are telling the public servants
what must be done, and it will be
done.
Formerly the self-constituted guard
ians of the public raised the alarm
every time step was taken toward
the people, but approved and applaud
ed every step taken from the people.
But the cry of humbugs is no longer
potent.
These (the recall, the initiative
and the referendum are powerful
weapons in the hands of the people.
They are terrorizing to malfeasance,
venality and lawlessness. They are
preventives of official treachery.
They are weapons which increase the
power of the people.
"The recall is a club which the peo-
pie hold over the heads of their Off
Gals to make them do right. The iHi-
tiative is an imperative demand which
the legislator dare not disregard.
THE referendum is perpetual
warning to the legislators against the
enactment of laws which the people
do not want. This is no longer a gov
eminent of interests and nobody can
object to These measures except those
who are afraid of popular rule and
those who want to exploit the govern
ment for private gain
Here is clear statement of the
democratic position-a senator who
applies the doctrine to public affairs
can be relied upon. Would that we
had more such senators.

The Correct View of It.

We do not know whether 1t was a
grandstand political play or not, that
rendered resignation of Senator Bailey.
To be liberal with him and possibly
.unduly fair we are going TO admit his
absolute sincerity in it. 1t is all we
have a right to do unless We had proof
to the contrary. OF course We could
surmise, speculate and theoriZe and
by circumstantial evidence make out
a good case to the contrary. But this
we are not going to do.
We believe Bailey thought that, he
ought to do just what he did do. 'He
acted on one of those first impressions,
which is nearly always both right and
honorable. With this premise we are
going to maintain that Bailey did just
what any honorable man in his place
should have done-resigned.
Whenever a public official is out OF
harmony with his party, the party that
honored him and trusted him, he ought
to resign. Ii is the only right and hon
orable thing for him TO do whether he
Is serving as senator or representa-
tive either in congress or the legisla-
ture. And there is nothing palmer or
clearer than that Bailey is out OF mar
mony with his party colleagues in the
senate and in congress.
In spite of his great intellect and
his once great prominence, he stands
today discredited by his party asso-
ciates and deposed~ as their leader.
This may be deplorable, but 1t is true
He stood practically alone in his de-
fense Of T,Orimer and stood more near
" alone in opposing the admission of
Arizona to statehood. Under these
circumstances, unless he was self
abased, unless his spirit and ambition
had left him, there was no right thing
for Bailey to do but resign. And hav-
ing resigned he should not have per-
mitted a lot of satellites to have
dimmed the lustre of the act by caus-
ing him to reconsider and withdraw
his esignation.-Tyler Courier-Times.

A Final Farewell.

Did you kiss that dollar goodbye
when you sent it to Catchem & Skin
EN-. the world-renowned mail-order
house of Philamayork? You will never
see that dollar again. 1t is gone to
that bourne whence no dollars ever re-
turn. You will never receive it in eX'
change for the products of your labor
nor will it ever again pay bill for
you. Had you spent it with Treatem-
right, your local dealer, it might have
found its way again into your purse.
AS it is your laments over the disap-
pointment you felt as to quality or
otherwise when you received the goods
from the mail-order house served as a
requiem to the dollar. -Anahuac

ONION CROP NOT INJURED.


Laredo. Texas. March 10.-lt was
feared just following the cold snap in
January that the onion crop had been
injured. The tops of the onions were
slightly frosted in some localities, but
this did not injure the crop except to
retard the growth and make the har-
vest few days later. Last year about
1000 cars. in round numbers, of Ber-
muda onions were shipped out OF
Southwest Texas. This year it is main
tanned that this production will be al
most doubled.

LIKE GOVERNMENT LIKE PEOPLE.

In an interesting article on the com
mission form of city government, the
Topeka Mail and Breeze offers these
sensible observations:
THE fact is that a government is as
good as the people who make it. If
the people are alert and honest they
will select good commissioners. If
they are alert and honest they will
also select good councilmen. If the
people are either ignorant, corrupt or
careless, poor officers will be selected
no matter which form of government
they are under and graft and incom-
potency are as likely to be found I'M
der one form as under the other

The pros and the ants each tried
to saddle on the other the blame for
"frittering away" the time of the reg

fact is, the eternal Bailey question is
responsible for the failure. 1t is an
unmitigated nuisance and there can
