STATE FIGURES ON
TEDDY AND TAFT
VERY DlSCoURAGiNG FOR BIG
NOISE FROM EMPIRE
STATE.

NASHVILLE, Apr. 30.-That the
action of county conventions on Sat.
! urday placed Tennessee safely in
the Taft column, is the statement of
IGeo. G. Renfro, secretary of the re-
publican state committee.
According to Mr.. Renfro's figures
the Colonel has been whipped ito
frazzle," and that at the very time
when his supporters were working
The hardest. Future conventions can
hardly change the result, as Taft is
now only fourteen votes shy OF the
encessary number, with contests to
be decided, and the chances in his
favor good.
When the state convention meets
mere on May IA, it is claimed that
Taft will not only get the four dele
gates from the state at large, but that
he will have previously captured out
right every congressional district del.
egate, with the exception of the sec
ond district. where the Oliver-IIouk
forces have instituted a contest.
The figures given out by Mr.. Rem.
fro, as to the complexion of the state
convention. follow:

Despite the showing made by the
Tart terces, 1t is probable that the

MOVEMENT TO GIVE
STATE OF TENNESSEE
NEW CONSTITUTION
NINE INSTANCES WHY FUNDA
MENTAL LAW SHOULD BE
CHANGED.
lis FOR few ELECTIONS
Fewer County Officers Called for, a
Change in the Jury System Among
Considerations-Effort to Be on
Non-Partlsan Character.

The Southern Agriculturist is in re-
ceipt of letter from the committee
on the revision of the state constitu
ticn of Tennessee and of an address
why Tennessee Needs a New Con
stitution" by Hon. James HI. Malone,
The movement for new constitution
Is non-partisan as Is the subject mat
ter Of the address referred to, other
wise space would not be given either
here, says the Southern Agricultur
list.
The fact that Tennessee needs a
new constitution Is no reflection on
the authors of the present one; con
ditions have changed in the forty-two
years that have elapsed since that
time, and now the state is handicap.
ped by constitution that has served
Its day. In Mr.. Malone's address
nine instances are given where the
constitution should be changed. We
believe that each of these changes
would be in the interest of the citI-
zenshlp of the state. The one reduc-
ing the number of elections would
make for the greater peace and quiet
IN the state and should mean a saw
ing each non-election year of an av-
erage of few hundred thousand dol
lars for productive industry. The
one calling for a reduction of the
number of county officers would work
a saving of many thousand dollars
to the people of the state. The one
suggested IN regard to changing our
present jury system would be in the
interest Of justice to the individual
and Of economy to the counties. The
other changes we believe would be
equally far reaching in their benefi-
cial effects in their spheres.
There will be opposition to a new
constitution and there will be wild
ideas as to what changes should be
made But let us work for it con-
sistently, cody and sanely. We can
not manufacture any new rights by
writing them in the constitution, but
we can help to secure those that are
iegitimately ours. 1t has been said:
"A constitution is not the beginning
OF community nor the origin of pri-
vate rights; it is not the foundation
OF law nor the origin of private
rights; it Is not the cause, but the
consequence Of personal and political
freedom: it grants no rights to the
people but is the creature of their
power, the instrument of their con-
venience, designed for their protec.
ton in the enjoyment of the rights
and powers which they possessed be-
fore the constitution was made: ii is
but the framework of the political
and necessarily based
upon the pre-existing condition of
laws rights, habits and modes of
thought"

HOW TO BE MISERABLE.

In the first place, if you want to be
miserable, be selfish, think all the
time of yourself and of your own things.
Don't care for anybody else, Have no
feeling for anybody but yourself. New
er think of enjoying the satisfaction of
seeing others happy, but rather, if you
see a smiling face, be jealous lest an
other should enjoy what you have not.
Envy every one who is better off in
any respect than yourself; think I'M
kindly toward them and speak lightly
OF them. Be constantly afraid lest
some one should encroach upon your
rights; be watchful of it and if any one
comes near your things, snap at him
like dog. Contend earnestly for
everything that is your own though it
may not be worth pin, for your
rights are just as much concerned as
though it were a pound Of gold. Never
yield point, Be very sensitive, and
take everything that is saiN to you in
playfulness, in the most serious man
ner. BE jealous of your friends lest
they should not think enough of you;
and if at any time they should seem TO
neglect you, put the worst construction
upon their conduct you can, Thus you
will keep yourself unhappy.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN

THE SPIRIT OF THE TEACHER.
A teacher can never expect to be a
real success unless he brings the right
spirit to his work. If he undertakes
it from merely sordid considerations,
with no appropriations of the fact that
his profession offers him not only the
means of obtaining good livelihood,
but also channe, through which he
may greatly benefit mankind, and win
the lasting respect of his generation,
if he enters upon his work with no
thought of this ennobling fact, the
chances that he will worthily fulfill his
duties are small. The true teacher
should bring to his work an earnest,
faithful, enthusiastic, appreciative,
spirit, a spirit that yearns above all
things to be useful to its race, that
places self-seeking and gain far beneath
the upright, consistent adherence to
duty; that can see the stamp of honor
and promise upon the most unlovely
child, and is able to labor early and
late, not to amass wealth, but to be
able to say, when the end of all things
on earth come to him that the world
is better for the living" OF this spirit
are teachers that the world delights to
honor as true ornaments to their pro-
fession.

THE FATHERS TEACHINGS.

The boy loves his mother probably
more than he does his father, but so
far as relates to the affairs of life in
general and on its hard side, he has
ten times the confidence in his fathers
practical and available wisdom than he
has in that of his mother. And If his
father finds it necessary in the conduct
of business to strain one or two OF the
commandments the boy will keep on
repeating them to his mother and com
mence breaking them with his father,
and that, too, without feeling that the
sinuosity Of the procedure involves any
great amount of Inconsistency.
The only thing that will save the boy
and hold him in any way true to the
fixed pole Of rectitude that no consider
ations of place or circumstance can de-
fleet him, is that he be under the dom
nation OF father whose life In the
midst of the world incarnates the prin.
ciples learned from the mother in the
midst Of the home. The boy will be-
lieve in the feasibility of the mothers
doctrine of righteousness If he sees his
father take it out and exemplfy it I'M
der the stress OF business.
The fathers life in this degree meas
ures the power Of the mothers tuition,
and Is the hand Of God Fastening or
postponing the fultillment Of her long
ings and prayers for the children OF the
household.
