PRESS COMMENT
Irregular" Republicans.
(Richficld RecorGer)

Here are a few questions for "regu-
lar Republicans to answer who talk
of boiling tho Republican legislative
ticket because it is to elect Borah, who
they falsely claim Is not for Taft, the
head of the ticket:
Isn't Borah the best business asset
Idaho has? Hasn't he made good?
Wasn't he the Republican choice in
the primaries. more than Taft ever was
i'm any convention?
Can any sober business man wish
to trade Borah for the best Democrat
in Idaho?
Can any man pretend to he honest
and yet say that, If to vote the ticket
straight" Is the sole test of Republi-
canism, he Is not a liar or a scoundrel
to profess his own regularity and still
try to beat Borah, the unanimous
party primary choice for the senate?
Show us the honest man who has a
shadow of evidence that Borah isn't
regular" in his Republicanism. He can
accept even Taft without believing In
him or admitting that his platform Is
perfect or sufficient The Recorder
does that-and it's infinitely more than
the Goodings or the Statesman did
when they bolted Hastings or Lans-
don; or I.ansdon or Coates did wher
they bottled and defeated Brady: OF
Sullivan and ten thousand Others
when they voted for silver. Yet every
one OF these. and whole newspaper

ularity" in the face OF what they have
done, and most of them would agar
bolt Borah for what he never did OF

ciples beyond Taft or the expressed
platform OF the Republican party. hav,
cordially damned almost every measure

FOR THE STATESMAN TO ANSWER.

The morning paper is still qubblng and still fails to
answer the questions that all the people interested
except by implication which leads to the belief that the
answer, if made at all would be in the negative.

election of Senator Borah to the United States senate and
will you support him from until senator shall be
elected and toward that end will you support the Repub

WHERE IS THE HOPE OF RELIEF?

For ten years the Republicans in an unbroken line of
succession had possession of the entire machinery of gov
eminent in the state and likewise in most of the counties
of the state The tax burden doubled then trebled and
finally more than quadruped and the peoples groans at
forded them relief
Two years ago they resolved upon change in the
state government in the hope of relief In return the bur
dens of the farmers and other small property Of
the state multiplied many fold though the taxes OF
the rich and of the special interest classes likewise
increased but in lesser degree until many farmers and
other small property driven to the necessity
of actually borrowing the money with which to pay taxes
their farms and other property not returning sufficient
revenue to pay the taxes alone.
The present year offers relief. Conditions have
become such the state that to property actually in
creases ones liabilities to the extent of considerable
proportion of the tax assessed Many man last year.
could not have paid his tax bill and his irrigation water
bill except for the fortunate circumstance that he had
income from another than the property taxed
Many other men in the state will be compelled to do like
wise this year.
Will it afford the voter any consolation to take with
him to the polls his tax receipt he should resolve at the
same time to vote into power again either of the old parties
responsible for practical conscation of his property
through the monsrous tax bills presented to him for pay
ment?
Would it not be more sane and more sensible for him
Ito try entirely dcal-to vote for committed
squarey and unequvocay to such changes in the laws
will give the taxpayers power to regulate the
Ipense of city, county and state governments
The Progressive state candidates committed not
alone to more economical administration of public af-
fairs but they committed to the principle of returning
governmental affairs to the people, They arc committed
to the doctrine of such readjustment of the
laws and their enforcement will make the rch the pow
erfu and corporate institutions the timber companies and
the mining trust disclose their hidden wealth that

expense of government
Does not such program appeal to the people? Have
people become hopeless and desparng that they
do believe there is any hope for improvement and
therefore, they may well continue to vote they

We cannot believe it. We believe instead that the

Fine Exhibit.

One of the prettiest exhibits at our
fair was display of fruit from the Gin
ton Nursery. Mr.. Piper, founder of
the nurseries, was here in person. Mr..
Piper did not enter in competition for
any of the premiums, but the display
was made to show what could be done
in horticulture in this country.
Mr.. Piper is one of the foremost
nurserymen in the South, and the name
Clinton Nursery means something to
the fruit grower who wants trees that
will bear and true to name. Obion
County, especially in the hills, is one of
the best fruit lands in the United States.
Would be glad to have Mr.. Piper again

Cumberland Quartet.

| Assisting Rev. G. M. Zwingle in the
revival at the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church is the Cumberland Quartet.
This organization is composed of Mr..
Thos. ]. Scott, leader; Mr.. Ira T. Foust,
falsetto; Mr.. Calvin M. Callicott, tenor;
Mr.. Wade G. Zwingle, basso. This
quartet has sung throughout the South
and Southwest, and are not only max
ing good the reputation accorded them
by the press of the country, but since
coming to Union City have proven them
selves far superior to any organization
of the kind ever heard here. Their
voices blend perfectly and with full
ness that fills the entire large auditorium
of the church, and judging from the
increased attendance at each service
they have already won place in the
hearts of their hearers. Each man is
star in his particular. line. Mr.. Scott,
with his wonderful baritone voice, cap
tivated the audience Sunday night when
he sang as solo No Burdens Yonder. "
MessrS. Scott and Callicott have also
rendered some splendid duets. Mr..
Foust possesses the most remarkable fall
setto voice ever heard here. Mr.. Zwingle
has remarkably deep, clear voice and
in his solo work is unexcelled, reaching
the lowest tones with no apparent effort.
Rev. Zwingle, the evangelist, with whom
they travel, and who is conducting the
revival here, is a most forceful and
logical preacher and has the power of
holding the attention of his hearers
throughout the service. He has de-
livered some most powerful sermons
since coming here.
This entire organization is composed
of native Tennesseans, Mr.. Callicott
being product of our own Obion Coun-
ty, his home being near Rives.
The meeting will continue throughout
the week, afternoon and evening.
