HIS CHIEF CLAIM TO FAME.
Archibald Roane Made Andrew Jack
son a Major General of Militia.

a Major General or Militia.
The recommendation of the Tennes-
see senate committee on finance, ways
and means of an appropriation of $500
TO he used in marking the grave of
Archibald Roane. in Knox county. re-
calls notable events in Tennessee.
Roane served one term as governor Of
Tennessee. being inaugurated Septem-
Der. 1901. for n term Of two years.
He lies buried in the Pleasant Forest
cemetery. fifteen miles from Knox
willie. His grave lacks even the plain
est and most modest Of markers.
Among the acts Of the legislature,
which then met ut Knoxville. that are
still upon the statute books are the
laws prohibiting dueling and prevent
ing the disturbance of public worship
During his administration also Roane
county. named for him. was erected.
and he was the first to use the great
seal of the state.
His chief claim TO fame rests upon
the fact that as commander in chief
of the militia of Tennessee he cast
the deciding vote that made Andrew
Jackson a major general of militia. IN
which position he was when the mas
sacre at Fort Minis called him into the
! field against the Creeks. his success
in that campaign placing him in com
mand Of the defense Of New Orleans
HIS success against the veterans OF
WeninCton's peninsula campaign IN
that defense gave him his place in the
American hall of fame.

The last bulwark of privilege
has ever been the courts.
The last stand of corporate ra-
pacity has ever been our judicial
tribunals.
] do not mean to convey that all
judges or even the larger proper
ton of judges are responsive to
corporate power or Influence, but
just as some judges and some
courts have always been the ref
uge to which corporations In their
unjust aggression have fled for the
undoing Of the people, just SO did
we find, when the recall was
preached in the legislature of the
state of California, the courts
maintaining the same position
the last stand of discredited and
defeated special interests.
BOTH. PARTIES PLEDGED.
Both of the political parties of
California, in the last campaign,
without qualification, had declared
for the recall" No man entered
the legislature, without at least
having taken the tacit pledge that
he believed in the recall in its
generally. And yet
when it came to the presentation
of the amendment to the consti-
tuition which would enable us to
put in practice that which all par
ties had preached, the most de-
termined opposition sprung up to
