nation as a member from West Tennes-
see Of the Court Of Civil Appeals. AT

Moore has no opposition in the Demo-
cratic ranks and that there is a universal
demand for his nomination by all fac
tons. Judge Moore, it will be remem-
bered, has very brilliant short term to
his credit ON the bench. He is known
all over the State as one OF the abIest
lawyers, and as Judge the bench was
distinguished by bis service. Judge
Moore is the candidate Of no faction, in
fact he is doing all all he can to separate
the Office from partisan politics. Judge
Moore has received the most encourag-
ing letters from prominent men allover
the State, Democrats OF diverging views
and alignments, all uniting in his sup
port Judge Moore is candidate to
succeed Judge Cate, Republican meme
Der now on the bench. Judge Cate was
appointed to fill out the unexpired term
Of Judge Taylor, removed by death, to

supported to man by his own people,
and throughout the State whereverhe is
known his judicial ability is recognized,
and the call for bis return to the bench
is unanimous. Judge Moore is an
honor to the bench His ability is un-
questioned and his justice unchallenged.
His qualifications are above the con-
sideration Of partisan affairs. He is
pre-eminently the man for the place,
and all Tennessee will be honored by
his election. Let the Democrats Of all
factions rally to Judge Moore's sup
port, especially at home, and give Judge
Moore our unqualified Endorsement.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox observes that
the changes during the past FIVE Or six
years in the way schoolgirls dress and
deport themselves are deplorabIe. An
American, who had been abroad for siz
years, came home to find in the places
of schoolgirls -bright-faced, rompish,
chaste, care-free and innocent school
girls creatures evidently no older on
French heels with rouged cheeks, pow.
dered faces and blackened eyes, hard
features and brazen looks, sporting inn
raense hats and affecting the dress and
habits OF third class actresses. The
American saw this and wondered with
disappointment.

They are deplorable indeed. But they
do not stop at that. Young schoolgirls
have been found to carry on g.sfat cor

Wheeler Wilcox has observed.
It would not be unnecessary to make

would be valuable as warning TO some
OF the mothers and guardians il they
could be brought to realize the true
conditions.
La this connection 1t would be prob
ably interesting to know that in many
homes, North and South, the better
classes, not essentially Of the so-called
higher social stations, but people Of
true worth and character, whom the
social lion Is bound to respect no matter
how high be scars, do not take to the
things described above. The fact is
that these people dress richly. if they
can afford II, but they never forget to
dress neatly, never affecting the fads Of
the French concert-hall dancer. They
wear comfortable clothing according to
the seasons. They conduct themselves
respectfully. They have brains and
they use them. They command re-
spect and they deserves it. How much
better for the girls and the human FAM
lily generally II these girls could find
something more appealing than the

For the slender there is no doubt that
the one-piece costume should find favor,
but unless this is trinity yet loosely
fitted it is more than little trying to a
full figure. Still the one-piece effect is
so ulodish that extra blouses for coat
and skirt suits are most fashionable
