next, December IA On that day, pro-
viding there is no change in his plans,
Gov. Wilson will sail for New York on
the Bermudian. The ship is due 10
arrive in New York on December Is.
Those who expect that w. J. Bryan
is going to select Wilson's cabinet for
him are greatly mistaken. Those who
expect that Bryan will be a member of
the cabinet are probably also mistaken,
though they will not know of their
mistake until after January /, and
probably not until March 4. 1t can
be said that the president-elect has no
desire to EN- mbarrass Mr.. Bryan by al
lowing him to be placed in the position
of seeming to advise the next president.
The president-elect will seek the coun-
sci of all the leaders of the democratic
party, but it is safe to predict that in
the end he will do as he pleases.

NEW LAWS
NEWSPAPERS GIVE SUPPORT
Want Legal Protection Against
Having Property Seized to Sat-
isfy Husbands Debts.

Mr.. William Hard of the staff of the
Delineator was in Nashville last week
and, in reply to questions, said that
the women of many states were busy
drafting laws especially concerning
married women to present to the
legislatures which will meet next JAN
uary. Mr.. Hard had just come from
Texas, where the State Bar Association
the State Federation of Women IS
Clubs and the State Congress of moth
ers are united in campaign support
ed heartily by the newspapers of the
state for giving married women COM
plete legal protection against the dan
ger of having their property seized to
satisfy their husbands business or
pleasure debts. Judge Ocie Speer of
the court of civil appeals of Fort
Worth has drawn bill for this pur-
pose, and Mr.. Hard related state
ment made by Judge Speer in a recent
speech illustrating the curious charac.
ter of Texas laws.
1t was statement about woman,
man and disappearing herd of cat
tie. The woman owns the herd. She
marries the man. The cattle in the
herd, by Texas law, are her "separate"

and their revelations were regarded as
astounding.
T, e. Tuttle, Long Island farmer,
said he secured 40 cents bushel for
his Lima beans this year and later
found them on sale at the Washington
market at Is cents quart, or $3.50 a
bushel. He said there could be no le-
gitimate reason for selling Lima beans
at more than cents quart.
"Farmer Fullerton" agricultural ex-

cauhfower that the Long Island farm

imitation national forest, to show the
manner in which the national forest
now being established in the Southern
Appalachians will be administered.
Fire lookout stations, fre-fghting
equipment caches, trails and bridges
will illustrate how the government is
preparing to protest the forests from
lire. Conservative methods of logging
as the government requires shall be
practised upon the national forests,
involving the reduction Of unnecessary
waste and the piling and burning Of
brush as fire precaution, will alsl be
shown. The display inside the build
ing will be an entire department from

fore. Commercial exhibits will he

will all have reference TO conservation,
and will portray the effect of forests
in preventing erosion and regulation

est fires and insects and means for
combating these evils, the scientific
handling of tim berlands, the reduction
OF waste in the production and use Of
wood by such means as improved
methods of saving and the introduc
ton of short and odd lengths Of boards
and other results of forestry investi-
cations.
Mr.. Don Carlos Ellis, who is in

Clifford Pinchot, formerely chief for

A bill providing for a government
exhibit and building at Knoxville was
in Congress last session and

which are concerned with conserVa-

Quite an amusing incident is related
OF Georgia case in which husband
had promised his wife to let her have
all the money that she might earn by
keeping boarders. Chief Justice Black
ley, of the Georgia supreme court, said /:
/" The legal unity of husband and wife
has, in Georgia, for most purposes,
been dissolved and a legal duality es-
tablished. A wife is wife and not a
husband as she was formerly. Legis-
lative chemistry has analyzed the con-
jugal unit and it is no longer treated as
an element, but a compound. A hus-
band can make gift TO his own wife,
although she lives in the house with
him and attends to her household du-
ties, as easily as he can make a present
to his neighbor's wife. This puts her
on an equality with other ladies, and
looks like progress. Under the new
order of things, when he induces her to
enter into the business of keeping
boarders and promises to let her have
all of the proceeds, he is allowed to
keep the promise if she keeps the
boarders. 1t would seem that the law
ought to tolerate him in being faithful
to his word in such matter, even
though he has pledged it only to his
wife; and we think it does.n
The women of Tennessee would like
to see the conjugal unit analysed in
this state as well as in Georgia.

WILL AT ONCE
FILE CONTEST
He CAN LOSE NOTHING" !"
Says Massey-Some Massey Re-
publicans Seem ReconcHed,
Others Against Governor.

Bristol, Dee 9.-The appointment of
Dr. z. u. Massey, as physician at the
state renitentiary at Nashville, will
not deter him from contesting the elec-
ton of Congressman Sam r. Sells, in
the First congressional district. DR..
Massey will file contest at once,
through his attorney, Maj. Paul e. Di-
vine. Ie was here few days ago and
held conference with friends. 1t was
the opinion of his leaders that he could
lose nothing by contest and that he
would stand chance of ultimately
being seated. Irregularities in several
counties are charged by the Massey
leaders,
In this connection a rumor has been
current here for some time to the effect
that Gov. Ben w. Hooper has his eye
on Congressman Sells job and that he
is paving the way to make the race
two years hence, by forming an alli-
ance with the Massey faction. 1t is
said that the Massey people, or rather
the leaders, have regarded Hooper as a
sympathizer with Congressman Sells,
but now that DR.. Massey has been CIV
en- position under the Hooper admin
istration, they are reconciled. Anti
Hooper republicans here, among the
Massey supporters, are comdemning
Dr. Massey for accepting the position.
Congressman Sells says he has no
fear OF a contest, adding that it is DR..
Massey's privilege to contest if he SO
desires. He says that he is elected by
o clear majority, which approximate
ly 800, and that be does not fear the
proposed contest

property. In Tennessee they might
b. held separate" property or they
M ght be only general property, in
which case they would at once pass to
her husband. But in Texas they
must, by law, be and remain the
woman's own "separate" property.
That looks like justice. Pretty soon,
however, some COW in the herd be-
comes the proud mothe ofa calf. What
about the legal status of the calf? II

she got married 1t was not then in
existence. 1t has made its appearance
during the marriage, And all prop
erty acquired during marriage in
Texas is community" property.
Thay calf, therefore, is community"
property can be disposed of by the
husband alone and is liable for his
debts. With the birth of the calf
therefore the husband is better off than
he was beJore. He is now part owner
of the herd. When the next calf is
born he is still better off, and as the
cows continue to bring offspring into
the world his ownership in the herd
continues to increase. He goes about
his business, and his wife's cows work
for him in his absence. After o while
he owns half the herd. He is a very
successful cattle man. And his part
of the herd is the superior part. His
wife owns all the old cows, but he
owns all the young ones. The old
COWS keep on getting older. At last
they begin to die off. What is left of
.he wife's separate property in the
herd succumbs to old age and goes un-
Ter the daises. There is a fine herd of
,attle ip her pasture but it doesn't be-
ong to her. 1t has been transformed
1y time and law from being altogetth-
II "separate" into being altogether
community" property. Her husband
,an now sell it or give it, and if, as
happens, he gets into fin
Incian difficulties the last view the
ady will have of tht community
of her separate" COWS
will be when they are driven off to be
old for debts to which she was not a
,arty and of which she may have had
