LUKE LEAFS CAMPAIGN IN TEN
NESSEE LASTED ONLY ONE
HOUR.
BUT HE GOT VOTE HE NEEDED
A. II A. NJ Fusonsts Decided to
Support One Man; at 1880 Mr.. Lea
Entered the Race and at 1890 He
Was Elected.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 24.-Striking
at the psychological moment today
won for Luke Lea the United States
senatorship in the fight before the
Legislature over the seat soon to be
made vacant by James 3. Frazier.
At 10 o'clock this morning Mr.. Lea
said he would not allow his name TO
be used. At II a. m. the fuslonists
had decided to vote solidly for one
candidate, but whom they did not
know. At 1870 they had decided TO
drop b. A. Enloe, whom they had
been supporting, and go to Mr.. Lea,
who had just given his consent to be-
ing put in the race. He was elected
at 1890.
When the last name had been call
ed on the roll call of the joint ses-
sion, he lacked one vote, but a mem
ber who had refused to vote went
into the Lea column and later two
were changed, giving him two more
than the necessary siXty-six to elect.
Lea's election came on the elev.
enth ballot and after one of the most
complicated fights in Tennessee leg
islative history. In the assembly are
the regular democrats with sixty-six
vdaT, the republicans with thirty
four and the Independent democrats
with thirty-three.
Not only did candidates have these
three factions to line up, but many
other influences were at work, includ
ing the prohibition question. Mr.. Lea
received practically the solid vote OF
the Independent democrats and the
republicans and barely enough regu.
lar democrats to win
The victory is one for prohibition
and a distinct defeat to the Patter
son wing of the party. Though never
holding an office, Lea has been a hard
fighter for prohibition and has taken
part in local campaign on the side
of what was usually termed the re-
formers.

FORTUNES HAVE BEEN SPENT
FOR LOST TREASURE AND
STILL GUEST GOES ON.
SOME OF THF TREASURES
Failure Never Discourages the Seek
ers Of Lost Galleons-The Various
Riches That Have Been Lost to the
World for Centuries.

Since Captain Burns of Glasgow be-
gan his Investigations of the treasure
ship of the Spanish armada in Tober-
mory harbor in 1903, more money has
been spent for the recovery of few
misshapen pieces of eight" than the
entire treasure of the armada could
have amounted to. Let no one sup
pose, however, that this will stop any
treasure seeker from continuing his
researches, for treasure seeking is a
disease, a mania.
So far as is known, no pirate chief
has murdered his crew to conceal the
location of the treasure at the bottom
of Tobermory harbor, its location was
always too well known to occasion
any attempts at monopoly. The first
attempt to recover the fortune was
made in 1865, and from that time one
fortune hunter or another has hovered
over the harbor in a fruitless effort
to bring some of the Spaniards
wealth to the surface Now they have
suction pumps to lift the sand and
mud, and filters to separate crabs
from pesos, all at a great expense,
and occasionally they do get a hand
full OF pesos, but the expense of oper-
ating has far outreached the possible
returns from the ship-still it is treas
ure hunting and must be persisted in,
like the solution of an eternal prob
lem
Here are a few of the great treas
ures, lost to the world. which have
cost lives, expeditions, disappoint-
ments and sacrifices of every sort:
The treasure of Lake Guatavite, the
lake of golden sacrifices where bill
lions of South American gold lie in
the shadow of the Colombian hills;
tia, the Hun, stored the reapings
from a long career of conquests in
the richest provinces of Europe; the
municipal treasures which Henry
Morgan, the pirate, lost in Nuevitas
and Puerto Bello, Cuba, and in Pan
anna; the papal fortunes, estimated at
20 million dollars, buried somewhere
about the old castle of Avignon; the
amassed treasures of the Island of
Coscos, about 10 million dollars.

HOME BANK INCREASES CAPITAL
VIII Raise Surplus to $65o,ooo and
Buy Present Site.


Buy Present Site.
Directors OF the Home Savings
bank are considering plan to in
crease their capital from 100000 to
S5O,OOO. Under the plan, which will
probably go through, the present
shareholders will receive a stock
dividend OF 25 per cent, taking up
100000 OF the new issue, and they
Will also receive the right to sub
scribe to their proportion of the new
remaining $250,000, at the price OF
$500 per share. This plan would raise
the surplus OF the bank to $3.50 O0J.
after deducting the stock dividend
from the present surplus. A special
meeting OF the stockholders has been
called to authorize the plan.
The increase In capital will enable
the bank to purchase the site upon
which its building stands, under the
option which IL holds, and also to
handle its rapidly increasing business.
The Home Savings bank has grown
to be three times the institution It
was 10 years ago, showing totals of
$9,7S6,2OO, according to it's last state
ment. 1t Is now paying dividends Of
~ per cent year. The success Of

Value and Dignity Of Human Life.

Naibc anu OlSHity VI HbWaU Ghe'
One of the great problems with
which human thought has wrestled
throughout the ages is the problem of
living, living that Is under the ap-
proval OF ones conscience and in right
relation with the world and dignity OF
human lifeS volume by Charles Gray
Shaw, professor OF philosophy in New
York University, the world-old aud
ever new problem OF ethics is pre-
sented.
The problem is attacked In the
light of all the thinking that has gone
before in the light OF the classic NOR
alists from Socrates to Spinoza, from
Kant to NieZsche. Ii also takes into
account the various views OF tie
problem OF ethics that have been ex-
pressed by the authors In other fields,
who have striven TO PROFOUND a
philosophy, studying the thought OF
Wagner OF Tolstoi OF Suderman,
Cork, and Anatole France. IL is
perhaps the most comprehensive work
along this line that has been under
taken for some time.
Prof Shaw attempts In his work
TO introduce a new line OF reasoning
in regard to human conduct. Tradi-
tional theories and conventional
morals give a most inadequate view
OF mans inner life, while they are
almost equally inefficient In account
ing for his strivings In the world. A
new view OF humanity therefore be-
comes necessary and the aim OF the
book is to elaborate a system OF
major morality, based upon the total
ity of human striving. II Is an at
tempt along the lines of the newer
school of philosophy to interpret the
problems Of life in accord with what
is generally accepted as common
sense-not an isolation OF some par
dcular phase OF mans organization
but q recognition OF man as a totality,
as q combination Of the material and
spiritual elements, to regard him IN
the same light as We are accustomed
TO regard our fellows in the ordinary
affairs Of life.
The keynote OF the book is human
ism, by which the author means the
sum total of man as human being,
ever growing, ever progressing toward
the goal which the author defines Gs
the perfection OF humanism.
The Value and Dignity of Human
Life Ia a noteworthy book for these
reasons. Too much of our philosophy
has been wrought out in the isolated
study OF the sage and not enough has
been studied among the throngs OF
