John /. Cox, who will be a
member of the house, has made a
statement that will give the legis-
lature a chance to do something
on the whisky question, and indi-
Gates that the people are going to

Nashville and Chattanooga, or Gov
ernor Hooper IS going to be given
enough authority to enforce pro
hibition.
Governor Cox believes that it
would be the part of wisdom to
enforce the democratic state plat
form, which would legalize the
sale of liquor in the three large
cities. He will introduce bill to
that effect, and will do all he can
to secure its passage. But if the
legislature refuses to carry out this
idea, then Governor Cox will in
troduce a second bill giving the
governor the right to remove may
ors, sheriffs and attorney-ge generals
for failing to enforce the law, and
power to send circuit judges from
one section Of the state to another.

Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1912-11-22

An interesting piece OF political
gossip in connection with the of
fees at the disposal of the legisla-
ture is that the opposition to Frank
Dibrell is favorable to George r.
Woollen as being the most avail
able man upon whom to center.
The argument is made in his be-
half that his long experience IN
the practical details of the comp
troller's Office and intimate ac-
quaintance with the financial af-
fairs of the state, and the work
ings Of the whole tax system, make
him the very man to outline and
carry to a successful conclusion,
the reforms in the comptroller's
Office which have been advocated,
and would make him Of great SER
vice in the important matter of
funding the state debt.

senate out of the way the election
of a United States senator will be
the big fight and it will follow
pretty soon after the organization.
A senator is to he elected to the
short term, that is from the time
of his election to March A. A
senator IS to be elected for a full
term, beginning March 4. Politi-
clans who seems to be best in
formed, especially the independ-
ents and fusionists, assert that B.
A. Enloe, chairman of the state
railroad commission, has the call
for the long term. The regulars,
however, claim that they will CON
troll this election, and are some
what at sea. Patterson is theNom-
inee of the primary, but feeling
confident that they cannot elect
him. they seem to be willing and
anxious to throw him overheard
and take up McMillin and give
him the senatorial toga.
The Commercial Appeal says
that a recent rumor from Nash
vile tends to confirm the report
that Mr.. Enlos knew what lie was
doing when be took the stump for
Governor Hooper during the clos
ing days of the campaign. That
rumor has it that as part of the
agreement reached By Mayor
.Crump and Senator Lea, the SEN
atorial toga to beallowed to remain
upon Newell Sanders shoulders
for the short term, from the date
of the assembling Of the general
assembly until March 4, and that
the long term, which begins on
that date, is to 80 to Mr.. Enloe.
In return, this story has it, Mr..
Enloe has agreed not to interfere
with Senator Lea's distribution of
federal patronage in the state,
which would allow the latter to
maintain bis hold upon political
control in Tennessee.

POLITICAL TALK
Many Things Being Planned BY
the Politicians

The recent election did not clear
up the political muddle in Tennes-
see as completely as many hoped
it would. The result in the gov
errors race was decisive. Hooper's
majority over McMillin was over
5000. Considering the fact that
two republicans we're running this
cannot be considered other than a
complete victory
In the legislative contest the re-
suit is not SO decisive. The regu-
lar democrats and fusionists are
claiming the legislature. The
claims being made are proof clearly
that neither side has anything pos
tive to base it's claim on. Both
are hopeful that when it is known
how the various members stand
on the contested issues that the ma
iority will be on their side.
Tt is accepted on all sides as a
fact that the eleven votes from
Shelby county will be in demand
both in the organization Of the
house and senate and in the cleo
ton of those state officers who are
chosen BY joint vote Of the general
assembly. 1t is also conceded that
Mayor Crump, Of Memphis, will
practically control the votes Of
these eleven members. This makes
Crump an important factor, and
he will, no doubt, have much to
do with the organization Of both
houses Of the legislature.
There are few things that, at
this stage of the game, look almost
certain. 1t seems that NJ. r. Pat
terson will not be elected to the
United States senate. 1t is also
equally as certain that Frank Dib-
rell will not be elected comptroller
It is almost safe prediction that
an independent democrat will be
elected to the United States senate.
1t looks pretty certain that an
independent democrat will be
elected speaker Of the senate and
it is possible that the speaker of
the house will be an independent
democrat.

BIGGEST WAR VESSEL
Pennsylvania to 0utcIass Sis
ter Ships in Length, Speed
and Armament.

Tentative plans for the construction
of the battleship Pennsylvania. author
lied at the last session of Congress,
call for vessel that may prove the
worlds sensation in the matter of
fighting machine.
The fact that she is to carry twelve
armor protection Of sixteen inches in
thickness has made it necessary to de-
sign a ship exceptionally long in order
that her beam shall not be too wide
for safe passage through the Panama
canal When the battleship Delaware
was laid down six years age it wa.
found expedient to widen the canal from
100 to 11O feet, and. subsequently,, the
battleships Arkansas and Wyoming and
the Oklahoma and Nevada were designed
to meet the dimensions OF the waterway
The Oklahoma and Nevada, each with
displacement OF 27,JOO tons, are 57J
feet long and 95 feet beam.
Realizing the risk of taking a fifteen
million dollar ship through the canal,
the naval officials. have decided in the
case Of the Pennsylvania TO sacrifice
width in favor of length. Accordingly
the Pennsylvania will have a beam OF
but 95 feet. like the Oklahoma but will
be $50 feet long, or 55 feet longer than
that vessel. The new ship Will have
speed of about 23 knots or more as
against the record of 1850 made by the
Oklahoma. Her displacement may be
as much as $1,000 tons, or 3,5uO tons
more than the Oklahoma. If these
plans are carried into effect the Penn
sylvania will be larger. have heavier
armor and armament and be swifter
than any batueshlp in the world.

DEPENDS ON PARCELS POST
Complications and Delay in Adjust.
ing Express Rates by I. C.. C..

Complications have arisen in the ad
justment Of express rates by the inter-
state commerce commission as a re-
suit OF the new parcels post system
arrangements now being made, and IL
is understood at the commission Of
fees that the express companies will
shortly request a postponement OF the
October hearing. set by the commission
several months ago, SO that their ex-
perts may have an opportunity to
check and compare the parcels post
rates and the commissions rates with
their own.
Tentatively October was fixed as
the date on which the commission
would hear from express companies
and shippers reasons why the proposed
rates of the commission should not be-
come operative.
Into the mass of figures Of tens OF
thousands OF rates suggested in the
order Of the commission many errors,
it is known, have crept, and IT is de-
clared to be probable that the commits
sion will shortly issue a supplemental

NO PROTEST RECEIVED
Quantico Residents Not in
Danger From Indian Head
Guns, Says Official.

If the residents of Quantico. Va. are
endangered by the test firing Of big guns
at the naval proving grounds at Indian
Head, Md, no complaint to that effect
has been made known to the oNicials of
the Navy Department Rear Admiral
Twining, chief Of the naval bureau OF
ordnance, said today that he had read
press dispatches that two shells had land
ed In the town of Quantico, but that was
all he knew Of 1t. So far as he knew the
matter had not been made the subject Of
official complaint
Although no explosives were used in the
target practice at Indian Head, the ad-
m'ral said the ordnance people fully real
ICED the dangers from nOn-explosive shells
and exercised every precaution to guard
against their doing any harm. Quantico
is about seven miles distant from the
proving grounds and is off the regular
line Of fire. 1t is designed that all shells
used in the tests shall fall in the river
within a protected zone.
If any of them landed within or near
the town of Quantico. Admiral Twining
said, he was satisf1e that it was because
they had fallen short or had ricOchetted
from the river. Inasmuch as the matter
had not been brought to his attention,
however, he did not eel called on to take
any action with regard to the report, es-
pecially as he was confident that the Of
ficers at Indian Head would see that life
and property in the vicinity are not en-
dangered by target practice in the future.

Advantages Of Country Life.

Willct VI. Hays. In Woman's World.
The country is the best place TO live in
order to establish strong lines OF de-
scendants, for here are stored up those
reserves of constitutional energy which
enable men and women to endure long
hardships and to meet great emergencies
without submersion. In the city the con-
! tltions tend toward constant over-stimu-
lation OF nerves and exhaustion OF the
individual or of underexercise or the
muscles and other vital organs. and the
consequent lessening OF energies which
would go toward the increase OF FAMILY
or toward constitutional endurance IN
the children. Where the best blood OF
the country homes continually flows to-
ward the cities, as in America. the ultt-
mate extinction OF this best blood In both
city and country Is certain; the continue
ton of the race in both city and countr!
Is then left to people OF less emcient
heredity.
But the farm is not only the best place
to produce goodly numbers OF children: It
is pre-eminently by nature the best place
to produce the best kind OF character In
the child. Here youth deals with the
things of nature in their simplicity and
directness, and is not deceived nor
schooled in deceiving. The daily burden
OF work on the farm and In the farm
home requires the most thorough CO.
operative spirit among all the members
of the family, so that children early gain
habits of devotion to duty ana 10 the
philosophy, "A duty well done is Its own
reward" The child is unhampered by
constraint from artificial standards and
conyentionalities which city NE for the
adult seems to require or at least 10 en-
courage He is therefore free to develop
healthily and naturally along the true
lines of his own native powers for self
expression.
And the farm is by nature no less a
good place to continue character develop
