OUR GREATEST UNDERTAKING

Colonel Roosevelt says the Panama
Canal is the top notch undertaking in
the country's history. He started II,
aud therefore his Judgment is entitled
to consideration. but he backs this mp
with the sentiment of Europe. and dis.
cusses the subject with the freedom
that so often marks him. Ia his
Charter day address at Berkeley. be
said:
'In Europe the two feats that have
made the deepest impression were the
digging of the canal and the sending OF
the battleship feet around the world.
/ am particularly interested in the
canal, because I started it. There are
plenty Of other things / started because
/ happened to be in power when the
time came to start them. But the
Panama Canal would not have been
started II I had not done it. II I had
beea like some admirable conservative
gentlemen l would have submitted a
message to Congress pointing out the
advantages of the canal and urging
action. Then there would have been
some excellent speeches made in Con-
gress, aud we would neal an able dis
cussion that would still be going on
to-day, with the actual digging of the
canal 80 years in the future.
Fortunately the occasion came when
I could act unhampered. / started the
canal aud left Congress, not to debate
the canal, but to debate me. In q por-
ton Of the press, that debate still goes
on. But while it is going on, the canal
goes on, and they are welcome to de.
bate me as long as they wish, so long
as the canal is dug.
Il believe l state an exact truth when
/ say that this digging of the canal is
the greatest feat that has been attempt
ed by America. Colonies Goethals and
Gorgas have done their work better
than any corresponding men Of any
country that have ever done any pub
lie work. So in the field of statecraft
in such material achievement as the
Panama Canal, America has done more
than a full part"

Use Unfair Publicity

Several Of the paroled prisoners from
the State penitentiary are entering a
protest and evidently q just one.
They claim that their Bertillion
measurements and photos are being
made public property. much to their
disadvantage. The matter is to be
righted by those in charge.
1t is Q part Of the duty to send a des-
oription OF each man measured and
photoed to the different sheriffs through
ont the State. He is supposed to keep
the record for reference. bat not for
public posting. The idea Of the parole
and pardon system is to give the re.
leased man a chance to start even with
the world. BY the posting Of the
records publicly it almost prevents their
receiving employment or getting a
footing with their fellowmen.
The complaint Of the released men
is worth consideration aud they will
be given as even Q chance as is possible.
The Board Of Pardons is endeavoring
to help the men and not keep them
down. The matter will be adjusted

WHITE PINE CATTLE RUSTLERS


0toCh Dut AuiCNCe EeCdPC
Cattle rustlers made a desperate at
tempt a few days ago to get away with
30 head of cattle belonging to residents
Of the southern part Of White Pine
County near White river and Sunny
side. Their operations were discovered
however, and after a long chase the cat
tie were recovered, though the men got
away.
Harry Lewis q prominent rancher
and stock raiser of Sunnyside, came to
Ely from there a few days ago with the
news. The cattle belonged to the
Lewis brothers, James RiordaD, Charles
Stephens and Amos Gardner. When
their disappearance had been noted. the
three last named and George Lewis set
out after the rustlers, following them
from Goal valley to the Muddy, and
catching sight of the cattle one day
near dark. They tried to encircle the
rustlers and capture them. but the fell
lows were too sharp for that and got
away in the night. All the cattle were
recovered and returned to the White
river owners. There were evidently
three of the rustlers and they were
no doubt making for Arizona. where
they would not have any difficulty in
disposing Of the cattle at a good price,

tions upon the managerial boards OF

as the grossest injustice. He ap-
pealed to his friends among the Prot

Roosevelt said, was entitled to worship

Roosevelt also talked at length upon the

The former President warmly praised

that while mining was important to the
State. permanent growth must rest up

State Highway Bill.

We publish this week letter from
Geo. HI. Freeman, Secretary of the
Knox County Good Roads and Parks
Association, Knoxville, Tenn, IN re-
gard to a new road system to be in
augurated in the State, bill introduced
in the Legislature creating State
Highway Department, providing for
raising State and county revenues for
highway purposes, and third section
to provide for the use of convict labor
ON highways. We reproduce Section 9
OF the act providing for the revenues
inasmuch as the road question has been
mooted here for some time and the
people have discussed to some extent
a good road to Reelfoot Lake. The
bill does not seem to affect the
general road laws, but to increase their
usefulness to large extent. 1t pro-
vides for more practical method of
financing roadways than any now in
force, and suggests methods of effect
ing organization. 1t seems to us that
this bill is an advance movement in
road building. 1t may have some
defects, like other movements with too
many political attachments, but it has
some features that seem worth while
considering.
Most OF the progressive movements
now suggested are by national or State
commission, and in all probability there
may be too many commissions for the
good of politics. We protested against
the State fair commission until we
found that it was divorced from the Elk
ecutive-that the Governor did not
have the appointment of this COM
mission, and we viii very reluctantly
support any commission which is con-
trolled by the Governor or any.of the
State authorities. These commissions
will first or last destroy to great ex-
tent our republican institutions. but il
commission is necessary let it dictate
its own succession il it is to be useful to
the people at large Aside from this
we believe the bill proposed is good
one and will assist us greatly in inn
proving our highways. We are CRATE
ful to Mr.. Freeman for hisinterest in
our local road proposition and for his
offer to assist us. Hope to be able to
call on him sone time.

For Trustee

g r. Kenney, Deputy County Court
Clerk and former Gember Of the lower
branch Of the State Legislature from
0bion County. announces through this
paper this week as candidate for
Trustee Of the county Of Obion, subject
to the action Of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Kenney is already known to
many Of the people Of the county, hav-
ing served as Deputy County Court
Clerk under Clerk Howard, and later
under Mr.. Talley, thereby meeting a
large number Of the citizens in an Of
ficial capacity. He was also elected
and served in the Legislature, which
brought him in touch with the people
in public way 1t lis therefore need
less to dwell upon an introduction, but
more pertinent to speak OF his record
and qualifications. In the first place,
Mr.. Kenney is a good penman, only
one but very essential requisite for
good officer. In the next place, he has
the advantage OF legal training and
commands all the ground work that
fits one for the duties of clerk or trus-
tee. Above all, his record as clerk has
been marked with an extraordinary de-
gree OF efficiency and promptitude in
the discharge of duty. He is moreover
man Of pleasant personality and
adaptability. Mr.. Kenney's record in
the Legislature is also worth mention.
He is the author Of the fire marshal
law, whereby incendiary fires have been
reduced and fire waste has been
minimized in a ratio Of twenty-five
per cent. He is also author of the in
surance law which prevents removal
from the State to Federal Courts case
involving fire loss. These matters
through his efforts can now be adjust
ed in the State courts. The road law
was another advance in his work for the
county, and last, but not least, he had
the $21.50 tax on barbecues repealed
and removed, and now as of yore the
people can have their barbecues
free from the cost OF taxation AS an
office man he has few equals He has
assisted in the work of all the county
offices, and is altogether proficient in
any Of them, always attentive to duty,
prompt and reliable in every way. Mr..
Kenney offers his candidacy subject to
the action of the party and pledges his
best efforts in serving the people if elect
ed Mr.. Kenney states that he has al
ready met many Of the voters of the
county, but promises to pay each and
everyone one a personal visit during
the campaign. We present his claims
to our readers for their consideration in
the proper men to serve them
as county officers

Now that the contract has been let
for the Carnegie Library, it might be
pertinent to inquire what efforts are be-
ing made toward the construction Of
the Government building. An appro-
priation was made by Congress just adj
journed for that purpose. 1t may be
that the Department is not yet ready to
take up the work here, but are we ready
for it and would delay in the fixing
of the grades for the walks cause us to
lose another turn in the beginning of the
work. The Board of Mayor and Alder
men has committee appointed to at
tend to this, and it should be done with
out delay, so that when the Department
is ready the city will also be ready.
Otherwise, as before when we were set
back for the reason that site had not
been selected, we may lose another turn
and have to wait two or three more
years for the building. Let the COM
mittee get together and report on this
walk, so that it may be laid without
with the Government plans
and in order that we may be in line for
the work Of construction on the build
ing at the proper time.

The people will be glad to learn that
contract has been let for the consruc-

to the Board of Education of this city,

furnish ten per cent of the cost for

on account Of the meeting now in prog

scriptions for this banquet have been
very liberal indeed, and assurances of
very extensive affair are altogether
promising. Mr.. Carter has been very
successful in the work of soliciting funds
and there is nothing now to do but select
suitable place and caterer for the
occasion. A meeting should be held
and committees appointed for this work
and when the banquet takes place every
thing will be in readiness Announce
ments will be made later on giving full
particulars and purposes Of the occasion.

The Commercial finds it pleasure
to announce that during the past nine
t. days its subscription list has inereas-
ed more rapidly than at any period dur
ing the same duration in the past ten
years. The largest subscription list up
to January /, 1910. was just about the
time the new postal laws went into Of
feet April l, 1908. Then we were
compelled to reduce the list TO prac-
ticaIly cash basis. and We dropped four
hundred names, but to-day we are
ready to state that these four hundred
names are back and four hundred more
added to the list, besides hundreds of
renewals during the past ninety days.
The Commercial has more subscribers
than the paper ever had in its history,
and as many probably as any newspaper
ever had in the county. Wesay this.
of course, because we have tried to
make good paper and because, We
believe, the people have appreciated our
work. We have tried for the best
standards and have been credited with
with great deal Of success by numbers
of friends. We have also tried to keep
away from personalities, treating pub
lie matters censcientiously. We have
tried above all things to make The
Commercial represent that which has
for an end the greatest good to the
greatest number, and if id this we have
offended we plead guilty. The Com
mercial enjoys not only the patronage
of its friends, but appreciates their good
will and returns thanks thousand fold
for these things. The tenth anniversary
of the present ownership takes place
March 81, and we hope to express our
selves more extensively on this subject.
