The Election.

The election for Justices of the
Peace and a Constable for the
new 9Th Civil District, of q month
ago, the result of which was void
on account of its not being called
according to the bill creating the
district, will be held over again
at the same place Gu next Satur-
day, May 10th.
The annulment of the other
election was caused by a mere
technlcality aud the officers elect
ed at the time seemed to give
entire satisfaction to a great ma
jority of our people, and it is
generally conceded by the voters
that the ticket then elected will
be Endorsed next Saturday. In
the election held by the Sheriff
every candidate had fair
chance, and those who won then
are fairly and justly entitled to
the Office and will receive a
unanimous endorsement at the
coming election.

To all teachers who may want

will say I'll be glad to issue cer-
tificates to all teacherD who at
tend the normal, pass the exami-
nation on the branches required
by that institution, and send in
their grades to me. Any teacher
who is not qualified to teach
should not expect to teach school
In this county or any other coun
ty. Too many of our teachers
expect to make preparation dur.
ing our Annual Institute. To
| make such preparation Is &c
cram, to stuff-it's a farce. For
teachers to be eligible to teach
| in our county they must attend
our institute and take our exam
ination Except the class OF
teachers already mentioned).
Owing to the fact that the
Uniform Examination Bill has
become law, this will be the
last examination given in the
usual way. Teachers, it is oul
duty and to our interest to be
| present the entire term of the
Institute.
We feel safe in saying that the
teachers who are on the program
| will make special preparation in
the work assigned them.

The legislature is still in Ses-
sion, in fact, according to the
theory of the Governor, they
cannot legally do otherwise but
stay in session, still he wants
them to adjourn sine die and let
him call an extra session and in
clude in the call only such polit-
ical measures as he wants passed.
OF course, there is not a man in
Tennessee with an ounce of gray
matter beneath his Uranium, who
does not know that all this talk
BY the Governor about the con-
stitution is political talk, pure
aud simple, and is not even re-
spectacle nonsense. He blows
both hot and cold. One breath
he says he must follow the Ian
guage of the constitution strictly,
that the constitution says less
than two-thirds of the members
can do nothing but adjourn from
day to day. To adjourn sine die
would be IN violation of that part
of the constitution, so it matters
not which horn of the dilema the
Governor takes, he cannot justi.
fly his activity in destroying Oh
trying to destroy the lawmaking
power of the state, involving the
fair name of our beautiful com
monwealth, disturbing our bust
ness interests and giving Us 9
blackeye generally.

Col. Jonas I. Amis, chairman
of the independent committee OF
the state, has issued an address
to the public on the political sit
nation in Tennessee, and places
the responsibility for it all on
the broad shoulders of Governor
Hooper. Mr.. Amis declares that
If was well understood when the
fusion deal was made between
Gov. Hooper, Maj. Stahlman,
Senator Lea, himself and Mr..
Crump that the temperance laws
were not to be interfered with,
but that Gov. Hooper denied the
faith and refused to live up to
his agreement. Senator Lea,
| Mr.. Crump, Mr.. Milton aud Mr..
Amis all say the same thing about
the agreement, but their state
ments are at variance with the
statement of the Governor.
| These statements, coming as they
do from men who have been
working hand in glove with the
Governor, men who have left
their own party in order to see
this sanity citizen at the helm
in Tennessee, ought to be suffi
cient evidence to convince every
citizen of the state that Tennessee
is in bad way so far as an ex
ecutlve head is concern ed.

WORSE THAN ERROR
President Wilson'S Endorsement
of Un-American Measure.
sundry Civil Bill, Which Gives In,nnu-
nifty From Criminal Statute to Ger
tain Groups Of Citizens, Is
Vicious Legislation.

President Wilson has signed the
sundry civil bill, with the clause which
compelled President Taft to veto it,
and which gives TO certain groups of
citizens immunity from a criminal
statute by forbidding the department
OF justice to use any part of the sum
granted it for enforcing that statute
in enforcing it against these groups.
All true and thoughtful friends of
Woodrow Wilson must deplore his
sacrifice upon the altar of political ex-
pediency of a principle of American
government to whose upholding Mr..
Wilson is peculiarly pledged by party
and personal profession-the principle
of the equality of all citizens before
the law
1t is true that Mr.. Wilson denies any
sacrifice of principle. says that he
would gladly have vetoed that clause,
could he separate it from the rest of
the BILL as placing a limitation upon
the action of the department of JUS
tice ''unjustifable in character and
principle and consoles himself with
this reflection:
Il do not understand that the limi-
tation was intended as either an
amendment or an Interpretation of the
antitrust law, but merely as an ex-
preston OF the opinion of congress
not Intended to touch anything
except the expenditure of single
small fund
1t is to be regretted that President
Wilson does not better understand the
ways of "log-rolling" by which certain
appropriation bills are got through
congress. II he did he would not speak
Of this item as he does. he would
understand that it does not represent
the opinion" of congress, but is mere
the result of the "log-rolling' actiyi-
ties of certain members who needed
in their business" an exempting inter
probation" of the antitrust act.
So we have the spectacle of Demo
cratic congress committing itself to,
and a Democratic president sanction
ing. the driving of wedge OF prece-
dent for the classification of American
citizens and the exemption of some
from penal laws which ali others must
obey.
1t is a mournful spectacle. and espe-
cially mournful with Woodrow Wilson
in the picture.
