The tenement mother is being rele-
gated to the background as a subject
for social study. The searchlight Of
investigation is now t4rned upon the
man with the white collar-the sal
aried bread winner Of the middle
class. A parallel between the casual
laborer Of the tenement districts and
the salaried middle class man was re-
Gently drawn, says the Chicago Tri-
bune. The middle class man was
worsted in the comparison His strug-
gle TO make ends meet was said to be
keener than that of the laborer who
acknowledged, by the absence of a
starched collar, that his work was
physical and violent, not mental and
''Eentlemanlike." Thus the problem
of poverty, so long exclusively asso-
ciated with the people of the slums,
is fast moving In the direction of the
middle class mantle married clerk
the man with the white collar He
is struggling to keep up superior
dignity upon an inferior income; the
pay envelope of the skilled working
man is usually bigger than his and
less OF it goes for show. To remedy
this diff1oulty it has been suggested
that men and women of the middle
class curtail their social aspirations
But this is the wrong remedy. The
mission of the twentieth century Is to
breed aspiration. The problem is to
raise the income and standard Of liv-
ing of both the tenement laborer and
middle class man.

If any man had suggested Tuesday
morning that it would take an official
count to, decide the winner on the
state ticket he would have been
laughed at by the partisans Of both
sides, but unless the belated returns
from some of the precincts in the out
of the way sections of the state show
a more decided preference for either
Karel or McGovern than any that
have come in so far it will take just
that.

The ballot clerks in the city and
county followed the regular custom in
this locality and where the intent of
the voter was clear counted the ballot
for the man he evidently intended to
vote for regardless of the fact that
the ballot might have been thrown out
on technicality. There was some dis
cussion in some of the precincts out
in the county over some of the ballots
cast for Roosevelt, but the fair view
of the matter prevailed in the end.

ASSESSMENT OF
THE BACK TAX
RECORDER MAKES RECORD OF
THE CLAIMS AGAINST HOW.
ARD G. CARPENTER.

The manner of the procedure IN
the back tax cases Of the city against
the estate of w. J. Howard and How
ard & Carpenter, Saturday was not
exactly in the form of lawsuit, but
was based on the acts Of 1907, Chap
ter 204, Article VII, Section |, with
regard to taxation and revenue
which empowers the board of alder
men to assess property for taxation
and to levy and collect advalorem
taxes. The proviso under which &C.
ton was taken reads, "That there
may be an assessment by the record
er Of any property found to have
been omitted at any time" The as
sessments were made and placed of
record on the books of the city, and
without fines and penalties amounts
to $4,000.

many instances. Good classy mules
ruled all the way around 5000 and
above, OF course the smaller ones sold
under that figure, but very few were
lower than $3.50. About 5000 would
be good average.
The scarcity of mules on the local
market at this season is the subject
of comment, for not in years have so
few been seen in the city on this
date. 1t is the opinion of some that
the slow movement of mules since
the first Monday in September has
tended to discourage the sellers and
they are holding for better opening.
Others take the position that the
high prices and scarcity of cattle and
the large supply of feed stuff will
cause more farmers to feed mules
this winter than is usually the case.
Many buyers from distance are
here.

The longest drouth of this year in

hour this morning by hard rain
All grain crops had commenced to
suffer for a lack Of rain and espec-
tally was this true Of wheat. This
plant had made little progress during
the past month owing to the extreme
ly dry weather. The long continued
lackesof moisture had caused the
streams Of >the county TO run very
low and in many places the question
Of stock water had come to be a very
serious problem with many farmers.
The springs in many cases were even
running dangerously near to the dry
ing up place. Winter and fall pas
lures needed moisture very badly.
However, the warm rain will, it is
expected. do much to revive all the
grain crops and pastures.
Notwithstanding the long dry spell
the past fall has been about the most
ideal period of weather that even the

No such weather suitable for the

LEGAL PROCEDURE
RECEIVES A SHOCK
IN MAURY COUNTY
WHEN A LAWRENCE couNTiAN
Y SHOWED HOW TO GET MUCH
NEEDED WARRANT.
AUTHORIZED By TELEPHONE
Defendants In Writ of Habeas Cor
pus Are Rearrested on Such . Pa
per After Having Been Released
by the Circuit Judge.

s.. rs
Legal procedure in the good old
staid county of Maury, where the
members of the bar are prone to fol-
low the beaten path, received a shock
here Saturday afternoon when pro-
gress took charge Of the situation and
whirled j. H. Krumpetz and wife
from Columbia to Lawrenceburg in
the face of the orders of release made
by Judge Turner after hearing a writ
OF habeas corpus.
[ There was nothing out of the ordi-
nary in the proceedings, and nothing
to particularly attract, except the
concluding chapter of the day, which
took place about 6 o'clock, when q
telephone warrant, or warrant the
signature of which was authorized
over the telephone, was served on
the defendants, and despite the or
der of the Judge they we're carried
away by Deputy Sheriff Davidson. Of
Lawrence county.
The case grew out OF the conduct
of nege minstrel troupe and some
trouble arising about the board Of
these members wherein Mr. and Mrs.
Krumpetz were sought to be held In
a criminal action for the failure Of
the payment of the board. They
were arrested here and released as
stated on writ of habeas corpus be-
fore Judge Turner Saturday. Imme-
diately application was made before
Esq. w. E. Alexander for another
warrant under the same charge. This
was issued and turned over TO Sher-
iii Goodwin and he refused to serve
it, for two reasons. First 1t was Is
sued by Maury county justice for
an alleged offense committed in Law
renee county, and second, it was ex-
actly the case the judge had just
tried. When this was done 1t is al
!, legged that Attorney Lindsey. who was
here representing the negro in the
prosecution, drew another warrant
and called Esq. G.. G. Shade over the
| telephone, and he authorized the is
suance of the same over his name.
A few minutes before train time,
6:15, this latter warrant was served
on the recent defendants and they
were placed aboard the train. Sheriff
Goodwin was notified and went to the
depot to have them released but had
only eight minutes between the time
of his notice and the departure Of the
train, and went without any papers
on the verbal orders of the attorneys,
but before anything could be done
the train pulled out.
i The defendants were taken to
Lawrenceburg, though were not plac-
ed in Jail The case will be tried to-
day.
Attorneys are unanimous in the
opinion that warrant secured as
was this one is void and without
force, and that the deputy sheriff and
attorney each exceeded his authority
when he proceeded in the manner
mentioned.

E.B. ANDREWS DELIVERS ADDRESS
Fitting Tribute Paid to Members
Who Failed to Answer to the Call
Of Their Names-History and Pur-
poses of the Order.

Impressive and beautiful were the
exercises at the opera house Sunday
afternoon when the Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks held open to
the public their lodge of sorrow,
wherein they paid a tribute of love
and respect to those of their mem
bers who have been called to the be-
yond.
The exercises were attended by a
large audience, the opera house being
filed almost to the point of overflow.
The local lodge came out in body
and the officials were seated upon the
stage.
Similar exercises We're held all
over the United States and outlying
territory where there are subordinate
lodges, at the same hour. The stage
at the opera house was pleasingly
draped with the American flag, which
is one of the emblems of the order,
with an elk's head well to the front
on small table, to the rear Of which
| In semi-circle were the officers, and

lodge.

Rev. e. B. Andrews delivered the ad-
dress in the afternoon, which was
highly appreciated The speaker
dealt with the history of the order, its
origin and purposes, the basic prin-
{, ciples upon which 1t Is founded, and
4. g FA = -
the splendid and commendable work
that Is being done BY the order uni
versai, and the members as individ-
uals. Charles Vivian, through whose
instrumentality the order was origi-
mated, was an Englishman and first
landed in this country in 1857 He
was an opera singer and the organi-
zation which was made effective in
1868, was confined to members Of
the theatrical profession, but later
began spreading and continued to
grow wider, until now 1t takes in all
professions, and comprises a list Of
1000 subordinate lodges with men,
bership of almost 100000.
Last year the order appropriated
100000 to charity, $4,000 to the ma
tional home. and $4,000 to the as
sistance Of the fight against tubercu-
losis.
Mrs. s. s. Fleming sang solo at
| tho close of the address by DIR. An
drews, the audience joined the mem
bers of the order in the singing of
the doxoiogy, and the exercises were
closed by a benediction from the
chaplain.

Eik's Creed.

Following is the Elk's creed whit
is borne out by the members Of the
order:
"Do not keep the alabaster boxes
of your love and tenderness sealed
up until your friends are dead Fill
their lives with. sweetness. Speak
approving, cheering words while
their hearts can be thrilled and made
happier by them: the kind words you
mean to say when they are gone,
say before they go. The flowers you
mean to send to their collins send to
brighten and sweeten their homes be-
fore they leave them. II my friends
have alabaster boxes laid away, full
of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and
affection, which they intend to break
over my dead body. would rather
they would bring them out in my
weary and troubled hours and open
them, that / may be refreshed and
cheered by them while need them.
I would rather have a plain coffin
without a flower, . funeral without
an euIogy than a life without the
sweetness Of love and sympathy. Let
us learn to annoint our friends be-
forehand for their burial. Post nor
tenn kindness does not cheer the bur-
dened spirit. Flowers on the coffin
cast no fragrance backward over the
weary way"
