A BEAUTIFUL LIGHT

An interesting demonstration
was recently given in one of the
large Eastern cities of the new
"Sun O.Light" owned and used
by Mr.. W. l. Swain, to illuminate
his huge tented theatre.
The SUMO Light" derives its
name from the fact that it is
evolved from the self same source
as the natural sunlight, viz .
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in
com bustion and, in consequence,
diffuses o brilliance of the same
penetration and balance as the
sun.
For many years Mr.. Swain, of
the w l. Swain Show Co., known
to be the oldest, biggest, best
equipped and most favorably
known show of its kind in
America, has made study of
the vexed question of producing
a light independent Of local cleo
trio plants (Which are frequently
over.taxed and therefore not de.
penda bic when extra demand is
made.)

For such stage effects as

organ OF the liquor interests, mas
recently been getting holder aud
holder in itsadvocacy of the sale
OF whisky-and naturally and
logically is making more fool
Of itself, for surely when it
throws off all semblance of de-
csncy and openly comes out for
whiskey, gambling and prostitu-
ton it will be barred from re-
spectacle homes where it is now
received. One of the latest
stunts of the Democrat has been
made up Of its declarations that
when 9 law is distateful it is
'bowled over" and that a man
who lives in the city is the SUI
parior of him who lives else
where, which includes, Of course
b'th the country man proper and
the 'inhabitant of the country
town. Listen to what appeared
e litorially in the Democrat last
week:
"Great.cities, dense communi-
ties, multitudes that gather at
preferable places and found mu.
nicipalties, who build great edi.
fees dedicated to art, to educa-
ton, to the church, who create
parks and establish and maintain
great houses of entertainment
and amusement, who earn and
expend more money in an hour
than country communities can
realize, are not willing that the
representation Of these lesser
capable, certainly less favored,
folk come to the Legislature to
represent their own constituency
and then bother abont the bust
ness of their betters."
The dlsgruntlenent Of the
Democrat against all but the city
man, who as legislator is usu.
ally the corrupt tool of corrupt
interests, came from the fact
that the country legislators,
tired Of the farcical if not crimi-
nal rump session Of the General
Assembly, stood for adjournment
Q ne die and the calling Of an ex-
ira session. The poor, debased
young journalistic harlot has so
completely lost its head that we
are forced to believe that it has
added uninterrupted drunken
ness to it's already unprecedented
meanness until it now looks as
though it will soon have to look
alone to the saloon keeper, the
gambler and the prostitute for
support. If the foul sheet does
not soon die and is not kept from
the hands of all but those
hardened beyond redemption, it
will SOW seeds of corruption that
will injure the State beyond es-
timation. Not politically. but
from the standpoint Of the com.
monest kind of every day de.
cency, it is to be hoped that the
Nashville Democrat will SOON
and the sooner the better--eink
into the oblivion thatlt deserves.
Every foul disease that is doing
the work of destruction in Ten.
lnessee may be counted as a help
when compared with the evil
effects of the existence of the
Nashville Democrat, the rotten,

Looks Like a Fair
Proposition,

For the life Of it, the Jackson
ian cannot see any real basis for
opposition to Governor Hooper's
proposed plan for the appoint
ment os State Tax Commission.
He insists that he be allowed to
the Commissioners and
states that he would appoint a
Regular Democrat, a Republican
and an Independent.
This occurs to us to appear
fair and reasonable. The Tax
Commission should be non-par-
tisan board, and the Governors
plan is probably as good as could
be adopted. OF course, the Reg
ulars would like to have two out
of the three, but they cannot
get them.
Besides, there are some things
into which politics shout not en-.
ter and assessing taxes is one of
them. The tax laws should be
adjusted in a patriotic, non-par.
tisan spirit for the good of the
people, and not for the good of
any party, and surely not for the
benefit of q few politicians
Jacksonian.
That part Of the Jacksonian's
editorial cut out as indicated by
the little stars was utterly fool
ish and we favor Editor Stockard
by pressing it. The Jackson.
ian editor has lucid intervals
with the understanding that he
is generally "a fool about Hoop.
er" in the dictated policy of his
paper. His lucid intervals oc.

SENATOR HELEN WAS SILENT.

The first women state senator in
the country managed to stir up fight
in the Colorado legislature the other
day by submitting a bill to amend the
constitution TO permit women to serve
on juries. Said Senator Williams: I'll
should hate to see the time come
when my wife or my daughter would
be chosen for jury service and be
locked in a room with several men
jurors over night or for several nights.
And there are many criminal cases in
which it would be an insult to ask
women to listen to the evidence"
Whereupon Senator Hoker argued:
'If women want to serve on juries
they should be allowed to do it. The
women of this town drink more cock
tails and highballs than the men do,
and they smoke more cigarettes than
the men do.
And it is not recorded that Senator
Helen Robinson said anything. Was
