\ LESSON TO PARTY ARROGANCE

As was to have been expected, Governor
Hooper Of Tennessee, has named Republican
as United States Senator TO succeed the late
Robert l.. Taylor His appointee is Newell
Sanders. of Chattanooga chairman of the Re
publican State Executive Committee
This appointment should teach lesson to
party arrogance everywhere. Tennessee is, of
course, Democratic State. Its Republican
Governor is an accident, made so by party
machine that presumed too much the arti-
fetal control which it had the nominating
conventions, and so caused split which placed
Republican in the executive chair. AS
snlt, there is the intervention of death. with
the consequent power of appointment of Sena-
TOT entirely out of sympathy with the majority
opinion of the State
A Republican from Tennessee In the United
States Senate will in all probability cut small
figure. His term. of course, will be limited In
all probability the result OF the fall elections
will be to give the Democrats the working
majority in the two branches Of national legis-
ation for which they have waited since 1894.
On the other hand, the new Senator from Ten
nessee may exert power and influence utterly
incompatible with his status as the accidental
appointee of a. fortuitous Governor. He may,
as events shape themselves, find himself In the
position OF definitely influencing the policy of
this country which to a great measure affects
the destinies of the world. 1t is entirely within
the possibilities that pigmy chance may pro-
duce giant in result.
1T will not do to charge this outcome to the
"b-lters' of the Democratic party who either
voted for Hooper for Governor or stayed away
from the polls. The blame is to be placed
the Patterson administration, which undertook
the hard task of imposing its will against self
evident popular sentiment. Whenever this is
attempted, there Is illumination for politicians,
but it does not follow that the will of the people

quently it cannot avail to find its own real ex-
preston Patterson's machine was smashed:
he managed as the sequel showed, to smash the
possibility of popular sentiment in Tennessee
making itself heard.
So far is apparent, the only remedy
for such catastrophes is an honestly conducted
and carefully guarded party primary. But to
be effective. the primary must be the real thing,
true vehicle for real expression. Otherwise,

A Voice From King Georae

Editor Richmond Vrginian:
sir--it seems to be almost too good news
to be true that the prospects of couple of
railways connecting the Northern Neck with
the outside world in the not distant future are
saying that the completion OF such enterprises
means great deal to this section we'll as
to other sections of Virginia and to Richmond

benefited by them unless a branch can be
brought up to King George. This latter idea

would surely be 4 great blessing to our peo-
pie II 1t be done.
The resources of this fine old countv and the
wealth that lies hidden in its soil are beyond
the power of the human mind to correctly esti-
mate at this juncture. There are fine truck
ing lands here and farms that produce corn
and other crops finely The drawback Is the
want of good transportation facilities, the
steamboats, being slow and uncertain, and when
they monopoly. shipper have to suffer.
The population of the county is sparse and
great drains have been made upon it by the
exodus OF SO many residents who go to other
sections seeking better advantages and con-
yenences. Our schools poor and made
quatey equipped with poor buildings. and even
graded schools, SO numerous In other sections
lie roads are a great drawback to the pros
perity of people. In winter these high
ways are scarcely passabe. and the wear and
tear they occasion to vehicles and the dis
comfort to man and beast they bring about

conditions here are all excellent and II we
can make better the general surroundings King
George would easily take high rank In the pre-
gressive counties OF our great old Common
wealth. Better roads and better schools are
