MRS. PANkHURST.

Had Mrs Pankhurst been a man
with the record for crimes which she
has committed, she would probably
not have been admitted to this coun-
try. Although declaring that her
crimes have been committed in order
to hasten the day when women
she is really herself the beneficiary
of that American sentiment which
has never given the male criminal an
equal showing with the woman Grim.
inal. For example it is capital Of
Tense in nearly every state in the
Union to commit murder and yet 1t
Is the boast of nearly every state
that no woman has ever been legally
executed, albeit many of them have
been guilty of murder. There is a
sort of maudlin chivalry or sentiment
tality that saves the woman from the
full consequences of her misdeeds.
Mrs. Pankhurst, in the light of the
record that she has made on the 9th
er side of the water could hardly be
classed otherwise than an undesirable
alien. She has busted herself in
England with the destruction of prop
erty. In short Mrs. Pankhurst would
doubtless object TO the term, but she
is little better than an anarchist, and
surely this government does not de-
sire the admission of that hateful and
dangerous class. Probably Mrs. Pank-
hurst will not do any particular dam
age in this country. She can doubt
less be easily deported when she gets
too obstreperous, but the point that
We made is that this advocate of
equality of the sexes" is the bene-
ficiary of the very thing that she con-
dennis.

THE JACK BUILDING.

No effort should be spared by the
Board of Trade and the citizens of
Columbia to carry to successful con-
summation the project for the cree
ton of a home here for the records
of the American Jack Breeders Asso-
citation. This is the natural location
for such home. There is no county
in the Union with larger mule trade
than Maury Columbia is probably
the best mule market in the whole
South. The Tennessee mule has no
superior. The breeding of fine jacks
is one of the great industries of the
county. The jack breeders associa-
ton has been powerful factor for
the development of better jacks and
better jacks mean better mules. Co
lumbia is the ideal home for the
permanent records Of the association
and a building here in keeping with
the Importance of the industry will
be worth great deal to this Sec
ton. 1t is a project that is. deserv-
ing of the enthusiastic support Of all
patriotic citizens.

PRoHlRTloNisTs.
Says the Nashville Democrat;


Even in Columbia, hotbed of alleg
ed prohibition sentiment, Mayor Ded
man won the mayorality in bill
walk. This, too, in spite of fierce at
tacks upon him by the uplifters, lei
by The Columbia Herald and others
Dedman's victory is one of the mos
significant things that has happened
in the state recently"
Surely our esteemed contemporary
| knows that there are prohibitionists
and prohibitionists. For it's informa
ton we will state that there as many
kinds of prohibitionists in Columbia
as there have been varieties of demo
Gratis in this nation during the past
/ twenty years.
We have prohibitionists in theory
and prohibitionists in practice. Then
we have prohibitionists for effect and
prohibitionists for Office. We have
men who really desire the prohibition
of the liquor traffic; then we have
others who vote that ticket because
some how they. have reached the con-
clusion that it is not respectable to do
otherwise. There just lots and lots
of prohibitionists in Columbia and all
over the state, for that matter, who
would not vote the ticket IL they took
the thing seriously; that is if they re-
ally believed that 1t would interfere
with their right to get the stuff
We have prohibitionists that would
prohibit the other fellow from get
ting liquors, but they have no notion
of doing anything that will make the
law directly applicable to themselves.
Then we have prohibitionists that are
perfectly willing to have the Flaw"
but they would really have a spasm
if they actually thought the law would
be rigidly enforced. There are yet
other varieties. Under these condi-
lions one need not be surprised at any
result. We have found out one thing
any way and that is that the folks OF
Columbia are not going to be mortal
ly offended at any officials because the
laws against the sale of liquor are not
enforced. All we can definitely say
to our esteemed contemporary is that
election day in Columbia was not
pleasant time for 1.-The uplifters" as
the Democrat sneeringly refers to the
advocates of strict prohibition.

HAMS CONVERSION.

Sam Stockard Is regular and
therefore he is not often right politi
cally, but when he does get right
Sam has the knack of expressing
himself admirably. These conclud
ing paragraphs from a two column
editorial on Pattersons conversion,
somes mighty near expressing our
sentiments:
"Of course, it will occur to- Patter-
son that he can best serve the cause
and carry on the fight from the want
age ground of seat in the Senate.
And maybe he'll get it. Tennessee
is full of political mountebanks, fake
reformers, fanatics and extremists,
and there is no telling what the peo-
pie will do There are more men in
Tennessee who go crazy over the
political fortunes of politicians than
in any state in the union.
In the meantime, local option still
survives in every state of the Union
except the four or five prohibition
states, and the Anti-Saloon League
people are fighting for local option
in many of the states not now dry"
We fear st. Ham has undertaken a
Job that will last him more than his
lifetime, but if it lands him in the
United States Senate that will be
some recompense.
"But if he is as sincere as he pre-
tends to be, it would have been an
indication of real bigness of mind
and heart had he, while at Columbia
the other day, taken occasion to pub
licly retract the aspersions he cast
upon Edward Ward Carmack five
years ago for taking a stand for
which there was far less room for
criticism in Carmack than in his
own sudden change. But the old
hatred perhaps still fingers"

vii SON B. OOBB|NS
ANSWERS SUMMONS
DEATH THIS MORNING
HAD BEEN CONFINED TO HIS
HOME DURING THE PAST
TWO MONTHS.
man OF STRONG CHARACTER
Had Been Connected With the Water
and Light Company for Fourteen
Years-zWas Held in High Esteem
by a Host of Friends.

Wilson B. Dobbins died at bis home
on West Seventh street this morning
at 1880 o'clock, after an illness that
had extended over a period of almost
two years, though he had been confin
ed at his home only about two
months.
The men who have stood as high
in the esteem of the people of Column
bit and Maury county as Mr.. Dobbins
have been few, and the news of his
death will be source of much re-
greet. He was a man of broad infor-
nation, tender and generous, compan-
, ionable and Of fine business ability
and an integrity that was a part of
his nature. For number of years
he had been connected in various
ways with the business of Columbia,
always acquitting himself with credit
and to the satisfaction of his employ
ers.
For fourteen years he had been con-
nected with the Columbia Water &
Light Company as manager and
treasurer, and personally he had
grown in the esteem of all Columbia
form the beginning of his connection
there.
About eighteen months ago he be-
gan to be troubled with organic
trouble. This grew on him until
until about two months ago he was
compelled to abandon his duties at
the electric light offices, but through
all this he was as cheerful and hope
full, and his simple faith and strength
of character was indeed a consolation
to the members of his family at the
last.
He enlisted in the Confederate ar
my when he was but sixteen years
of age, and continued in the service
until the surrender, making most
honorable record in the service of the
lost cause. After the war he was
married to Miss Kittie Innes Adams,
who survives him, and to this union
five children were born, four of whom
are living. Innes Dobbins, of Fulton
KY; Mrs. J. T. Meadors. of Nash
vile; Mrs. Chas. P. Hatcher, and
Miss Jean Dobbins, of this city
Deceased was a brother of John D.
Dobbins, of the firm of Dobbins & Ew-
ing; James Dobbins, of Williamsport,
and Mrs. Dave Watkins
He was member of the Presbyte-
rian church and also an official in the
order of Royal Arcanum. The fu-
neral services have not been arrang-
ed, pending the arrival of some mem
bers of the family.

WILSON'S IDEA ON
CURRENCY BILL
WILSON'S PLAN is TO PUT BILL
THROUGH BY DECEMBER /.
FOWLER ATTACKS MEASURE
Former Member of House and Chairman
of Banking and Currency Committee
Declares Create Currency Not
Adapted to Needs.

Washington.-The administration cur
rency bill and President Wilson's an
nounced determination to write it into
law before December | became the storm
center of legislative activity. A series
of conferences at the White House,
prompted by the desire of the president
to hasten consideration of the measure,
made apparent a rather doubtful situa-
ton surrounding the bill in the senate
committee on banking and currency and
resulted in a general conference among
senate Democrats.
President Pro TEN. Clarke of the SEN
ate, Majority Leader Kern, Democratic
Whip Lewis, Chairman Owen of the
banking and currency committee, and
Senator Ollie James of Kentucky were
called to the White House to discuss
the situation. After the conferences it
became apparent that measured wex9 TO
be taken to get the Democrats OF the
senate behind the currency bill as a
party measure. The White House tool,
the attitude that the determination of
the senate banking and currency com
mittec to conclude its hearings ION or
before October 25," showed that the Re-
publicans of the committee, with the aid
of two or three Democrats opposed to
the bill, were controlling the situation
and that the Democratic majority should
at once take steps to demonstrate its
responsibility for legislation.
The senator's who conferred with the
president all took the position that as
the Democrats were responsible for eur,
rency legislation they should take the
matter into their own hands. 1t was in
dicated that one method which might
be pursued was to withdraw the bill from
the consideration of the full committee,
where it is now tied up, and turn it over
to the committee Democrats, as was
done in the house. By this method, il
the committee Democrats were unable
to agree on the bill, it could be taken
to the Democratic caucus, although SEN
ate leaders were doubtful as to the out
come of a currency caucus under present
conditions. 1t would, however, be a
choice between submitting the bill to
the full committee of Republicans and
Democrats or taking it into caucus.

Peking,-Yuan Shia XII was elected
president of the Chinese republic for a
term of five years. He received the neces-
sary two!thirds vote of the two Houses
or Parliament on the third ballot.
Of the $50 members of the House Of
Representatives and Senate, 759 were in

The announcement of the result was
received with enthusiasm.
The constitution provides that at least

also calls for the presence at a presiden-

ROUGH SHEDDING
FOR CURRENCY
CAN HARDLY GET ON THE FLOOR
BEFORE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER.
MANY CHANGES ARE SOUGHT
President Believes That Revision OF Cur
rency and Amendment Of Antitrust
Laws Are Necessary in
Cutting Prices.

Washington-rolitica Washington
relieved Of the long drawn-out consldcra
ton Of the tariff, viii focus its attention
this week on the second OF the Demo
cratic reform measures-ba4lNng and
currency legislation.
Though the administration currency
bill easily passed the house, its path
way in the senate is admittedly full OF
obstacles. At present the senate bank
ing committee has not yet begun con
sideration of the Jill, intending for at
least ten days more to hear prominent
bankers and finance experts. Predlc'
tons at the capitol are general that ior
a month thereafter the senate committee
will be at work on the measure consid'
ering numerous amendments.
While there was almost unanimity OF
opinion on tariff revision, widely diver
gent views are held by Democratic sen
ators on banking reform. A strong de-
sire for a single bank with branches un'
der government control instead of a
regional reserve system of banks has
made its appearance in the informal
discussion. Other changes OF a FAR
reaching character are being suggested,
aud generally it is regarded az doubtful
if a bill satisfactory to the senate bank
ing committee can reach the floor OF the
senate before the middle Of November.
At the White House there is confidence
that the bill will be passed this session
or be placed on the statute books at any
rate before the first Of the year. The
president wants thorough consideration
of the currency bill and any improve
mcnt that the senate can make upon the
measure as passed by the house will be
welcomed. His disposition, however, IN
TO oppose strongly any undue delay, for
he believes prompt revision OF the bank
ing and currency system is necessary TO
meet the commercial expansion which
he expects will follow operation of the
new tariff.

FEDERALS KILLED
WHEN TOWNFALLS
GEN. ALVAREZ AND STAFF AND
1875 SOLDIERS EXECUTED.
BATTLE LASTED FOUR DAYS
Three Hundred Refugees, Most Of Them
Americans, Left Before the Capture
Of the City and Are Ex-
pected in Monterey.

Laredo, Tex.-Gen. Alvarez and his
staff of the federal army, together with
1873 federal soldiers, were executed We'd
nesday in Torreon under orders of Gen.
Francisco Villa of the Constituencies
forces, according to information from
reliable sources brought here. With the
city of Torreon the rebels captured prac-
tically all of the arms and artillery OF
the federals. The battle lasted four
days, with heavy losses to both sides.
The federals did not abandon Torreon,
but were tricked into a false pursuit,
during which the Constituencies
slipped into the city. Fighting then be-
came terrific, according to reports which
reached here. Foreigners were in terror
part of the time, but none of them were
reported injured, and it was reported
that during the reprisals after the battle
the Constitutionalists protecthed for
eigners, especially Americans.
Many Americans left Torreon recently
in a caravan under protection of United
States consular officers, reaching the
United States after Is days trying
marching.
Gen. Villa is the Constituencies
leader credited with feigning the retreat
which gave his side the victory. He APP
peared to abandon the field with the
bulk of the Constitutionalists, giving the
impression that they were falling back
toward Santa Rosalia. By a rapid
march Villa thanked his pursuers, get
ting into Torreon with a big force.
Advices from Monterey stated that
more than 800 refugees, most of whom
are Americans, left Torreon before the
capture of that city by the Constitu-
tionalists and are expected in Monterey.
From Monterey they will come to the
border overland, there being no train
services from there to Laredo. The over
land trip will require several days.
