We may expect to hear in this State
where free trade is deservedIy unpop-
ular. much about the trusts and mo-
ropoiv. The Democratic maiority In
the national House has spent a year
or more in the investigation of GER
tain alleged trusts. The circumstances
attending their report on the princi-
pal investigation demonstrates two
things In the first place they are UNI
able to agree on anything themselves.
The most spectacular thing about their
investigation was the charge by one
of their members that the others We're
simply playing to influence tho stock
market and that their proposed rec
concentrations amounted to nothing
EXCEPT to change the rule of evidence
In the second place the delay in max
ing any report and recommendations
snow that the committee was more
anxious to save the question for cam
paiGn use than to secure legislation
that would cure any existing evils.
The True Remedy.
Gov. Wilson's theory of dealing with
monopoly is drastic reduction of pro-
tective duties. wherever he finds a mo-
nopoly If he really believes protec-
ton is unconstitutional he should re-
peal it any way. This entirely loses
sight of the fact that trusts and mo-
norolies exist just as trueIy in free
trade countries as here. But even II
this were not so, other conditions ex-
list which this remedy does not take
account Of None of these monepolies
occupy the entire field, and many OF
them much less. While they are beine
crippled the many smaller independ-
ent industries in the same lines viii
be killed. And while you are cripplins
or killing the industries, great ano
small, those employed in them will moi
be the last to suffer.
Forced dissolution by law suit OF
otherwise is rot the true solution. MOI
is tho imposition of fines on the cor
pora items. The former will be evadec
and the latter must fall upon tht
stockholders, the innocent as we'll 81
the guilty, and upon the public. l be-
lieve that they should and can b'
regulated by national legislation, JUS
as the railroads and public service cor
porations are now being regulated
Then when they attempted to evad'
the law the guilty officials should b'
personally and individually dealt will
as criminals. The penalty will theI
fall where it belongs, and the innocen
will not suffer.

When we get the exact bearing Of
the question it ought not to be diff
cult of solution. 1t is not a matter
of tariff or free trade absolutely.
There will be a tariff and tariff du
ties in any event. This is necessary
to provide revenue to defray the ex-
penses of the government. Where the
parties split primarily is whether
these duties, which are bound to be
imposed. shall carry with the inciden~
tai protection to American industries.
whether they shall at the same time
protect American capital and Ameri-
can labor from foreign competition,
or shall be so constructed as to open
our markets to competing goods while
they are. imposed on articles not rails
ed or manufactured here.FThe former
is the Republican doctrine OF protec-

DOOLEY AND SYKES
MAY MEET FRIDAY
WILL BE A PITCHERS CONTEST
IF PROPER SUPPORT is
GIVEN.

In Fridays contest the Mighty
Three-Fingered Dooley will go on the
mound for the Oficials-Odd Fellows
and it is more than likely that Sykes
will do the twirling for the hlks-
Century.
This game should be a great pitch
er's contest and If given proper sup
port by each team there is no reason
why that darkness should not fall
on the battlers. Sykes is touted as
being a cyclone pitcher and has q
splendid curve as well, coupled with
a drop that is quite effective. he Is
also a batter of no mean ability anc
a good fielder and base runner.
The abilities of Mr.. Dooley nave
been demonstrated on the local ola
mond various and sundry times, ant
every one knows that he is goo'
twirler, goo hitter and a fielder o
almost a one class. What will tn
result be?

Certain newspapers are quarrelins
over the attitude Of Gov. Woouro"
wilson on the liquor question. There
ran he no denying the fact that GOV.
Wilson has declared for local option'
hut since FOCAL option is in no sense
an issue in this campaign in Tennes-
see It is immaterial what the views OF
the distinguished governor and pres
idential nominee may be.
The republican platform IN TINS
state declares for state wide prohlpl-
tion. The Bull Moose platform de-
clares for ninety-two of the ninety
sly counties the four excepted couh-
ties being Knox, Hamilton, sheioy
and Davidson The democratic ma
chine platform declares for prohipi'
ton in ninety-three counties, the ex-
cepted counties being those mention
cd by the Bull Moose except hnox
There is not suggestion OF local
option" in the democratic platform
IT is an emphatic declaration Tor nine
ty-three ninety-sixths state wide pro-
hibition. The people of nineyt-three
counties are to have absolute proh'Di
ton regardless of 'local self-govern
ment." And three counties mus'
have liquor whether or not. Thar IL
the whole platform in nut shell.
After all this talk OF state Woe

Of it INDUCED in by Patterson and hif
faction, his convention actually en-
dorses ninety1three ninety-sixths OF
the "principle." After all the clamol
NJ wears for local self-government'
there is not one word of promise tna'
we are ever to have local option in
single city of the state.
The proposition is just this: L
prohibition is right in Columbia, ant
the Patterson platform says Il is
why is it wrong in Nashville? L pro
Inhibition is right in Knoxville. why II
Il wrong in Chattanooga?
Since no party in Tennessee ma
declared for local option, but all nav
declared for prohibition in varyin'
degrees from complete state wide pro
hibition to ninety-two ninety-sixtns
. or rather twenty-three twenty
fourths, it is not material what Wood

GEN. GATES, DECISION.

Gen. Charles T. Gates probably
took the best course when ne decd
ed not to enter the democratic sena-
torial primary. That primary Is
Patterson affair, will be participated
in almost altogether by Patterson fol-
lowers and the vote will be returned
by Patterson puppets. The same
state primary board that will hold the
November primary held that In Au-
gust which, as every one knows,
was stencil in the nostrils of all de-
cent people.
Gates would make great senator.
He is admirably equipped for the
very highest service in the WORLDS
great deliberative body. He is law
yer of great ability; profound STU
dent. man we'll versed in the his
tory. the progress and the evolution
Of democratic government. He has
the very loftiest conceptions OF puo-
lie service. Tennessee needs men
like Gates in the Senate and the ma
ton would profit by his election AS
a Senator he would rank with law
yers like Matt Carpenter. as an ora
tor he would rank with Geo. Vest;
as a logician with L. @. c. Lamar
and az a man with Allen G. Thur
man. II is a pity that factional feel
ing is so high in this state that a
man Of Gates great ability and char
acter would find the road to the Sen
ate rough and thorny one.
Really Gates should have made
the fght before the legislature. He
would have made great canvass OF
the state in opposition to Patterson
and pattersonism and against the ma
chine founded upon office and par
don brokerage, the liquor traffic and
the infamous back tax graft. ne
would have contributed to the cleo
zion Of a General Assembly that
would restore government to the
people in Tennessee. His mistake
was in ever seriously considerins

and interest in Gen. Gates makes III

Although Mury county has public
schools that compare favorably with
those of many counties OF the state
the cost per pupil for teaching IN this
co,,nty is out little more than half
the average cost in the state. Ihere
are nineteen average schools in this
comfy with an attendance OF from
fffteen to twenty pupils per day IN
which the average monthly cost OF
teaching per pupil is only $1.O9. The
average cost per month per pupil
for teaching similar schools in the
state is $214. Both sums are small
manifestly too small if the teachers
are paid anything like salary tnat
IL commensurate with the services
] which they render and the equipment
which they should have to do the
best work.
The average salary paid the teacn-
!. ers of the nineteen schools mention
ed in Maury county is only $3.50 per
annum. This is about all that the
,vora 90 teacher can reasonably hope
to make during the year although
they are engaged in the school room

KEARAEY RECEIVES
HANDSOME FEE FOR
AVIATION NJ sSAGE
MAKES A TRIP ACROSS THE BAY
FROM OAKLAND TO SAN
FRANCISCO.
TO Be At The FAIR HERE
This Aviator Likes the Excitement
of Danger and Does Nothing That
Shows the White Feather, Making
Good All His Promises.

Horace Kearney, noted aviator,
who is to fly at the big Maury Coun'
ty Fair on Sept. 1913 claims to be the
highest salaried messenger boy In
the world. Kearney once received
$4,000 as a tip for carrying message
to worlds fair Mayor Rolph, Of San
Francisco.
But Kearney used his 75-horse pow
er Curtiss racing biplane to perform
the task and that is probably why he
got so much more than the boys
with bicycles usually receive. 1t
was during the big California avia-
ton meet last February that the
Mayor of Oakland wanted to invite
the San Francisco mayor over to the
western side of San Francisco bay
to witness the great flying which
Kearney, Beachey and others were
doing. "Tll give any of the aviators
$4,000 to take a message across the
bay and land on Van Ness Avenue,
and give it to Mayor Rolph," said the
Oakland executive. make it ten
times that much and it will be worth
the try" said Beachey. But Kearney
needed the money, he said. So
Kearney took the job and while the
other aviators, the pick of the world,
looked on, Kearney sailed away
across the ten miles of water, without
even a life preserver. Passing over
the site of the 1915 worlds fair
grounds, Kearney sailed down over
Van Ness Avenue right into the heart
of the city A mass of telephone
and telegraph wires lined both sides
of the avenue and on all the side
streets, but taking long chance
when he sighted the mayors party
waving to him. Kearney sent the
nose Of his machine toward the
earth and almost by a miracle ne
landed right side up while the San
Francisco officials almost mobbed
him in congratulating the plucky
youngster.
Mayor Rolph insisted that Kearney
not take the chance of attempting to
fly out of the street, offering to stand
the expense Of transporting the huge
mechanical bird out to the United
States preside military reservation
But Kearney smelled the danger and
wanted to get all the honor possible
So he made one mighty effort and by
less than six inches he cleared the
deadly wires and soon was sailing
back to Oakland to claim his unusual
fee.
Kearney declares he will pull on
some stunt during his flying at the
Maury county Fair which will be full
