PRESIDENT WILSON.

Americans, regardless of political
differences, can congratulate them-
selves on having Woodrow Wilson IN
the Presidents chair at this critical
time. His admirable course in the
Mexican crisis marks him one Oh the
first statesmen of the country. HIS
message to congress is model Of Its
kind. While it breathes the loftiest
sentiments of patriotism, uncoasci-
ously tells of the superiority OF the
Anglo-Saxon, and plainly declares
that American citizens must be pro-
tected, it breaches the gospel OF
brotherly love and peace. 1t says 70
the citizens of Mexico that the Amer
lean people are great enough, just
enough and forebearing enough to
prove to their neighbors that they
can be unselfish In the interest
which they manifest in the peoples
to the South of them.
|, It makes a new era in international
relations. OF course this country
eould force any sort Of settlement
that the administration might desire
Of the dificulties in America. II the
administration had yielded to the
clamor Of the limoges and the selfish
speculators we should have war and
conquest and the undying hatred OF
the Mexicans would have been our
eternal heritage. But Woodrow VII
son is a humanitarian as well as Q
natriot. He is unwilling to sacrif1ce
the lives Of good American soldiers
| in order to "pull chestnuts out OF the
Are" for spectators. He realizes
that America is too strong and toe
great to be unjust and ignoble. the
yery fact that we are strong and
great and united imposes upon US an
additional obligation to be fair ano
inst to the distraught people South
of US.
with man less resolute, less De
voted to the heaven born cause OF
neace. in the executive ONCE, ARE
consequences would have resulted
from the turmoil in Mexico. But In
the end the wise, humane and just
policy Of a great Christian states
/ man will prevail.

faction. Tnet IL tA5 plain, ans1a
nished fact.
The independent democrat who
would acknowledge the error OF fu-
sion and renounce all for which he
has stood in order to get the en-
dorsement of any senator would de-
serve and receive the condemnation
of all right thinking men regardless
of factional differences. He would
he an object for the scorn and con-
tempt of all. 1t Is to be hoped for
the good name of Tennessee that
there will be few men in the state
who will be willing to pay the price
for place." 1t is too high.
Now frankly would the independ'
ent democrat who would be willing to
nav this price be worthy Of cousid
Grafton for a responsible place under
the administration of Woodrow vii
son. Would that man of high ideals
the implacable enemy OF bosses ano
machines, appoint a man to ofhce
whom he knew would be willing te
pledge himself to obey the dictates
Of any machine or the behests OF any
organization for four years in thu
future? We do not believe 1t. Tt

1.-THE PRICE OF PLACE"

Says the Brownsville Graph
ic: assy ss4ss. i @ n e. =.
Senator Shields has stirred up a
hornets nest by issuing statement
in which he declares that while he
has nothing against those democrats
who stood with him for fusion IN the
past, he will not in the future sup
port for federal patronage any demo
crat who insists on standing for the
fusion cause. In other words the
senator has been convinced that flu
sion is wrong. To be perfectly fair
with his former associates he should
accompany his declaration with log
ical reason as to why fusion is NO
longer right. There may be some
men who are still Of the opinion that
fusion is right who might be convinc
ed of their error by such an explana'
ton on the part of the seantor. Sc
liar as we are concerned we want the
TWO 1aCLlOnS Ol Tue ucuoSidtiS PoA y
united in Tennessee and we believe
the only way to accomplish this union
| is for both sides to show a willing
ness to give and take until com
mon ground is reached on which al
true democrats can stand without the
sacrifice of. any vital principle. Botf
sides have been wrong in some things
and both will have to give up tbs
wrong, and get together on the 'sghl
before there can be peace in the dem
ocratic party. 4 man who could OF

leral pie would not be worthy OF con
sideration by either faction"
This is one Of the most sensible
and timely articles that has beer
written concerning the now famous
announcement of Senator Shields
The whole case is stated in a nutshell

NOT ABUSING SHIELDS.

Saws the Nashville Democrat:
sThe Columbia Herald continues
60 abuse Senator Shields because the
senator wants to see a united demo
cratic party in Tennessee"
II is strange how the liquor organs
will misrepresent. Their cause IS SO
weak that they cannot deal honestly
and frankly with the people or tel
the truth about public affairs. Tne
Democrat knows that The Herald has
not abused Senator Shields. Its crit
icism of his recent announcement mas
been couched in fair just, respectful
and parliamentary terms, 1t has and
does now express the highest regard
Tor the junior senator. The Herald
regrets that it can no longer fohoW
Mr.. Shields. But he and not The
Herald has changed. The Herald
stands now just exactly where Il
stood in 1910 and 1912. It is just al
earnestly opposed to the COMBINATION
OF the liquor interests and back tai
grafters now as it was then. It cal
no more tolerate John ! Cox, Patter
son and Stewart and company nov
than 1t could in the two great cam
paigns in which 1t followed Serato

The Herald has simply called atten
tion to facts. II 1t has mistated

This paper certainly has no sort o
desire to do Judge Shields any injus

rHE CASE or WoRLEY.

The Chattanooga Times is the hrst
and only newspaper in Tennessee TO
sink to the low level of defender OF
Parks Worley, revenue agent, state
senator and member of the regular"
democratic state committee, and also
under indictment for malfeasance in
ONCE. Worley Ia too much fo- the
stomachs of the other regular" or
gans. The Jackson Jacksonian Is en-
tirely above defense OF Worley.
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
frankly spews him out and the Nash
vile liquor organ has made vain at
tempt to disavow responsibility for
worley.
The Times though seldom balks at
anything. A newspaper that con-
sistently defends John !. Cox is pretty
hopeless. The defense Of Worley IS
the limit. Now what Ia the case
against Worley? A member OF the
senate and revenue agent he was
charged by the Williams investigat-
ing committee under oath with hav-
ing collected from an East Tennessee
corporation more than $1,000 every
dollar Of which he and his agents ap-
propriated to their own use. This re-
port was presented to the senate. II
was not denied. No effort to explain
the damning charges was made Dy
Worley or any one for him. But IN
response to the dictates OF the liquor
and back tax machine, upon which
alone the regular democracy rests FOR
support almost the solid regular
vote was cast to whitewash Worley'

The Chattanooga Times says that
The Herald misstates lot OF facts
about Senator Shields record. We
dare the Times to put it's finger en- q
single fact concerning the record OF
the junior senator that The Herald
has not correctly stated. To refuse
publication to the editorial of this pa
per and then charge that it is false
is the very lowest order of Journal
ism. 1t is however, in keeping with
the methods of liquor organs. With
out quoting single line from this pa
per the Times says that its state
ment Of the record is false. Now
we challenge the Times to find a sin
gle misstatement of fact in the edito-
rial complained of. This paper de-
sires to do Judge Shields full justice.
If it has made single, solitary state
ment about his political record, which
is public property, that is not justified
by history, we shall correct 1t. Come

statements or remain in the unenvia.

WAR CLOUD LOWERED
OVER THE CITY HALL
Turk and Five ASSyrians Al
most Come to Blows in Argu-
ment Over the Purchase of
a Silk Shawl.

War clouds lowered over the city
hall Friday night.
For few minutes 1t appeared that
a whole section of the Balkan en-
broglio was to be dumped all over As
sistant Chief Chappelps office. One
lonely Turk was matched against five
of his most hated enemy, the Assyr-
ian.
Before things quieted down 1t was
feared real Turk and Assyrian blood
would be spilled over the carpets Of
ChappelPS suite.
This is how it started and, by the
way, II isn't finished yet. 1t appears
the Turk, whose name as it was de-
ciphered from his license is Lusko-
sOwa, peddles silk shawls. neckties
and scarfs. One of the Assyrians al
legged he bought a shawl from the
Turk in front of a downtown cigar
store on the condition that if his wife
liked it he would keep il; if not, he
would return it. 1t appears the Turk
agreed to the terms.
The Assyrian then says he went
around the corner to show 1t to his
wife. Apparently she didn't like it for
he brought it back and wanted his
three dollars back that he had paid
the Turk for
., A. this g5 he war cloud hove i'm in
back. The Turk charged back that
he never sold anything to the Assyr-
ian in question. When he refused to
give back the three dollars, the AS
syrian called officer Stull, who
brought the Turk to the city hail.
Accompanying him was the Assyrian
buyer and four Of his countrymen.
action.
Denies the Charge.
Upon arrival at the assistant chiefs
office the Turk began hysterical de-
NAL of any sale and Of any knowl-
edge of the man he was alleged to
have defrauded out Of three dollars.
Bowling and Salaaming all over the
office, he excused himself at least
200 times for taking Chappell's time,
but insisted he did not know the AS
syrian.
1t was difficult to understand him.
Chappell inquired of him what Ian
guage he could speak. He answered
Turkish, Arabian and French. When
one of the other Assyrians stepped
forward to talk Arabian, the Turk i'm
mediately said he did not know how
TO speak Arabian and refused several
questions put to him in Arabian.
The Assyrian then evidently made
some cutting remark about Turks in
general and the Turk Immediately
flew up and answered in a TRADE Of
Arabian. At this point the declaration
of war seemed imminent. The Turk
opined as to how Assyrians were not
worth zone damn"
The Assyrians denied this and re-
taliated with the shot that the Turks
were not even worth that much. They
began TO edge in on the Turk. Re-
pOrters standing near began edging
out of the firing zone and TO make
ready for bulletins.
Chief Chappell entered at this point
as The Powers and suggested that
the matter be taken before Prosecu-
tor Montgomery.
So the war cloud blew over and
the Assyrians decided TO see the
nrosecutor Saturday morning.
