The candidacy of Elk Gov Pat
terson does not appeal alike to
our friends the Columbia Herald
and the Knoxville Sentinel. The
Herald says, "Patterson's candi.
dacy will reopen all the old sores,
it will destroy all prospects of
peace in the state, and will prove
a handicap to its best interests. "
The Sentinel very complacently
says, "We do not anticipate that
his candidacy will disturb the
state. The governors political
life was cut off by recall posi-
tive and final. We do not look
for any panic because of Patter-
son. He can easily be beaten
and he will be. 1t will be trying
to his former friends that he in
sists on projecting himself into
the race, but they know what to
do with him and according to
our observations they are ready
to do it."

One feature of the Titani3 dis
aster that seems TO have escaped
public attention, but which is a
matter Of pride to our people, is
that not a single man against
whose conduct any criticism has
been directed, was an American.
lsmay and Lord Duff. Gordon,
both Enghshmen, have been un.
der fire for forgetting all else in
their eager efforts TO save their
own lives. The officers have
been criticised for negligence,
the owners for poor equipment,
but not one of them was a citizen
of our own country. The Amer,
lean millionaire Astor, the Amer.
lean soldier Butts, the American
Jew Strauss, and every other

acteristic Of this new nation thai
in its century of existence has
proven itself the wonder of the
old world with its cumulative
greatness Of twenty centuries.

The democratic committee which
met in Nashville on the 25th uIt.
had a most harmonious time. The
committee organized by electing
j ID q Morton chairman and en-
towering HIM to appoint as many
secretaries as the work in hand
might require. They followed
the suggestion of the state con,
vention and determined to call two
primaries, one on the first of Au-
gust to nominate a u. S Senator
and railroad commissioner and one
in November to nominate candi-
dates for governor, comptroller
and Treasurer, The action of the
committee seems to satisfy every
body and the future harmony of
the party seems to be assured.

Judge John CFerris, who died
Sunday, was a man whose life
has been of incalculable good to
his fellOwman. He was the
founder and first superintendent
of Tennessee's Industrial School
and as the founder of the Ferris
Home for Foundlings he opened
the door of hope to many a child
of poverty, of shame, of crime
maybe, and made of them useful
and happy men and women. He
who has done this, has accom-
plished much.

1t begins to look like the fierce
fight between Taft and Roosevelt
will eliminate in the nomination of
n dark horse. If it comes to this
it will be Hughes of New York.
Hughes Is the most available man
in the republican party today.
His great abilities, his fine mental
poise and his sane, conservative
tendencieg place him far ahead
of either of the aspirants who are
lowering the tone of American
politics and contending for this
great Office by the methods of the
ward politician. 1t looks now
that no one of the presidential as
pirants on either side will come
under the wire. Hughes for the
republicans and Bryan for the
democrats are the most prominent
probabilities. No one of the pres
ent candidates on either side seems
to sufficiently command the conf
dence of the country as to give
satisfaction in the event of his
nomination. On many public
questions Taft has shown himself
to be weak. :, He does not measure
up to the standard of either a great
statesman or a great leader. His
party has found out this and his
forces are dislntegrating under
the fierce fire of the Roosevelt
contingent. Roosevelt Is wild as
a March hare and is considered by
many of the best element of his
party as dangerous. Besides many
think him mentally unbalanced.
The vast money concerns interest
ed in his election are pouring mil
hons into his campaign and this
has given him an unprecedented
run.

The entrance of ex.Gov. M r
Patterson into the race for the
United States Senate is very I'M
fortunate at this time. He was,
more than any other factor, per,
haps more than all other factors
combined, the cause of the par
ty dissensions, civil turmoil and
unrest, that has so disturbed the
state during the past recent
years. His enforced, but tardy,
retirement from the race for
Governor paved the way for po-
litical peace, of which this years
Arguments gave promise. His
continued retirement would have
wonderfully promoted the allay.
ing of passion and prejudice, and
permitted a calm study of prin.
ciples, and an intelligent express
sion of unbiased beliefs, by the
voters at the polls. The record
he has made, the ideas for which
he stands, the methods that he
employs, make Mr., Patterson a
political firebrand, and his re
entry is calculated to light again
old passions, and force a bitter
conflict, which we had hoped
would be spared the state this
year.

offered as a suggestion:
Take a pound of sugar-or. better
still. a pound and a quarter-to each
pound OF fruiI. Macerate the rasp
berries for three or four hours in
powdered sugar. Then put them into
a preserving pan with half the sugar
and cook them on a quick fire When
the raspberries have melted pour the
whole on rather fine sieve, SO tina,
the extremely small seeds cannot
pass through. Rub them through the
sieve with a wooden spoon. Put the
pulp back into the preserving pan
