"LAvISHLY MISLEADING"

The Charleston News and Courier
found among the news dispatches sent
out by the Associated Press the follow
ing modest announcement under a
London date: "Sir Henry Seymour,
who last June was elevated to the
peerage, was today unseated. The
judges found him guilty of lavishly
misleading his constituents. Our
Charleston neighbor made no appIica-
tion of this English precedent to con-
ditions in Tennessee, but readers of
this newspaper will have no difficulty
in agreeing that if "lavishly mislead-
ing constituents u were made cause
for recall, quite number of men would
shortly be enjoying the shades of prl-
vate life. Gov. Hooper for instance,
quite "lavishly misled" his constitu-
ents when he promised them purely
business administration, and that the
good of the state and the welfare of the
people, without regard to party faction
sect, race or previous condition of ser
vitude, should be the sole motive of
his conduct.
There is not fair.minded man who
does not admit that Gov. Hooper is re-
sponsible for the present conditions in
Tennessee, fact he has never denied.
He has attempted in several publica-
tions to justify the conspiracy that
produced these conditions, proof in
itself that he misled his constituents.
There may be some sort of excuse for
the poor, misguided, ill-used legisla-
tive holters, but there is none for the
governor of the state, who coun seled,
aided and condones their action. The
movement was political play, pure
and simple, and engaging in it the
governor proves that he lavishly
misled" his constituents when he tol d
them that he would do business and
not play politics.
But in Tennessee there is no recall
except in sentiment and unfortunately
sentiment will not count until we have
had some eighteen months more of
of what we have been getting.

BAPTIST PREACHER LEAVES
WIFE AND 7 CHILDREN

Lebanon, Tenn, June 8.-The little
community of Watertown has been
greatly aroused over the sudden disap-
pearance of Rev. J. w. Foster, pastor
of the Baptist churches, of Alexandria,
Watertown and Shop Springs. No
one seems to know what has become
of him.
1t is said Foster, who left an affiict-
ed wife and seven small children, ran
off with woman who lived in Nash
vile and that from Nashville, he and
his companion went to Knoxville.
They were met there by committee,
it is alleged, which was in waiting.
The committee sought to question
Foster, but he excused himself and
soon eluded them. Since then he has
not been seen.
Foster came from Texas about six
months ago, setting up at Watertown.
The woman in the case is reported to
have also been from Texas.

at Murfreesboro and johnson City

sitions will be invited on all or any
part of the equipment.

pared any specifications as to the de-
sired equipment but will take in con-
sideration both quality and price in
masking contracts.
A list of the furnishings desired can
be secured from the office of the state
superintendent of public instruction at
Nashville.

NEED OF DRESS REFORM.

Reform isthe watchword of the DEM
Gratis of congress. Reform is the shib-
boleth of men of the cloth, seeking to
save the world from sin. Reform is the
cry of warning of the politician seek
ing Office, word that he forgets after
election, as rule.
While the nation is stirred with de-
sire for reform it would be well to sug-
gest that the reform crusade include
wOmen's wearing apparel as well.
The limit must be reached, and if ev-
er there was crying necessity for dress
reform, it can be heard today.
According to an account Of the sensa-
tion created by the leader of the Phila-
delphia 400, the harem skirt is shrink
ing violet compared with gown she
wore through the corridors of the aris-
tocratic BeIIvue-Stratford.
1t is not necessary 10 mention names.
The heroine of this sensation has been
presented 10 the king and queen Of
England. She is one of the most dis
cussed beauties OF Newport and New
York. Her husband is worth many
millions, and her house is at Byrn
Mawr. She is the direct descendant OF
President Polk and was the belle of
Virginia at the time of her marriage.
Because abe is endowed with much
prestige she may be of the impression
she can inaugurate a fashion or create
style.
At any rate, with an opera cloak
about her shoulders, she appeared in
green silk tights with film OF light
gauze draped about her. On first
glance it appeared that she wore only
the tights. Such gown would be con
demned on the stage. If society ever
becomes SO lost that it will tolerate
such an indecent display, it will be
time for the law to step in and suggest
dress reform.
Some women may be blessed with
Venus like proportions that they feel
1t q sin to conceal them. This may be
true, but the better element of society
will scarcely agree that it does.
There were hundreds of people in the
corridors at the time, and when it was
whispered on the outside that there
was sensational display being offered
to all corners, the hotel was soon
crowded.
The harem skirt has never been pop
ular. 1t has only been worn by silly
women seeking notoriety and by beau
ties of the stage. 1t will never be a
practical gown. 1t was designed as a
catch penny inspiration of the Partisan
milliners to coax more money from
Americans.
The Philadelphia incident shows the
tendency of our eastern social leaders
in desire to go a little beyond any
fashion which may come from the old.
er countries.
Dress reforrffis badly needed. If any
one doubts this, look at the overdressed
school girls, and some of the gowns
worn on Main street, which cause the
old sin-stained veterans to blush

IF HE BUYS REAL ESTATE
TT WILL BE IN THE SOUTH

w. d. Roberts, secretary of the
i" Back Home assocociation, this city,
asks all southern people to send a copy
of their local newspaper to him and
also to J. A. T. Bacon, manager South
ern States Information Bureau, 5403
Keystone avenue, Seattle, Wash, es-
pecially when it contains matter relat-
ing to agricultural Improvement and
development in the south, marking all
such items. Mr.. Roberts wishes to
reprint them in the Back Home "
Magazine, and Mr.. Bacon will give
them out to people who want to know
about the south.
Ralph A. Parlier, formerly Of Lenoir,
N, c., writes from Everett, Wash, as
follows:
"Taxes are extremely high here, and
if get in shape to buy farm, it will
be in the south. l think Mr.. Bacon,
of Seattle, is exectly right about people
making a mistake coming here from
the south. AS he says, the "land
sharks" first sell you land at from
800 to $500 an acre, and then it costs
from $3.50 to $500 an acre to put it in
shape. This country is suited for rails
ing only few things, such as potatoes,
turnips, berris and garden truck.
Wheat raised here is not used for flour,
but for stock feed. The potatoes We
have here are not as good as those rails
ed in the south. People who buy land
should buy in the south where every
thing that grows can be raised"
