That the Webb law, recently passed
by congress over the veto of President
Taft,is gold brick that the federal leg
islature has passed for the temperance
people of the country, is the opinion Of
4 Congressman Sam Il. Sells who left
last night for the capital city in order
to see his democratic brethern in action.
Although he made speech in the
house advocating the passage of the
measure over President Taft's veto, he
says that the practical results of the
legislation will be Disappointing.
"When my temperance friends com
pliment me for my support of the
measure, am constrained to tell them
that the Webb law is a gold brick, u

where it will be worth anything for its
practical results but at the same time

issues likely to come before the house
and senate. Heretofore in most sections
it has not been thought necessary by
the temperance people to inquire the
position of congressional candidates for
congress must speak out. The popular
election of senators will be of tre-
mendous value to the great masses of
the temperance people ofthenation be-
cause it will give them direct repre-

To make the senators more responsible
to public sentiment.
"Although the Webb law is worth
little or nothing as a practical temper
ance measure, it is worth great deal
as declaration by federal congress
of its right and disposition to legislate
concerning the liquor taritfic. 1t is a
recognition of the fundamental wrong
of the Interstate shipment OF liquor
into states and communities that have
said by their veto and by statutory en-.
actment that they willhav none Of

Congressman Sells has just received
his committee assignments. He be.

of the pensions committee. Should
the political complexion Of the house
change he will becor1e chairman, by

He continues on the war claims com

New York, k,,]une7.-Governor Hoop
er, OF Tennessee, and other state off,
cials who are in New York endeavor-
ing 10 arrange the financing Tor re-
funding states bonds maturing July l
where advised by New York bankers
today that the best thing to do at this
time would beIo have the Tennessee
legislature authorize an issue of short
term securities bearing interest up TO,
five per cent, and running year or,
eighteen months.
The state is advertising for bids for
an 81 ! 900, 900 issue of four per cent, 40
year bonds. Local bankers say thar
the rate of interest is not attractive in
the present condition OF the money
market and that there is little chance
that these four percent bonds could
be sold now.
Information from New York ,as con-
tained in press dispatches, is to the ef-i
feet that Governor Hooper and other
state officials now there To arrange for
the sale ofnearly $l1 800, 900 of Tennes-
see refunding bonds. have been inform
Ell by bankers that in the present stats e.
of the money market it would be weif
nigh impossible to float the States Sc
curities. The advice of the bankers is
that the state issue short term notes TO
take care of the old bonds, the bulk of
which fall due July1. and that these,
notes be taken up later by the proceeds
of bond sales made when the market js-
much e" ier than at present.
New York state has just had a simr
liar experience with the floating of
bonds and decided to float short term
notes. These notes, aggregaJing ST.
OGO, 900, were sold Thursday to various
bidders, the average rate Of interest be-
ing 4.S7. The issue was oversubscribedi
by one third. These notes mature Feb
ruary 2 of next year and it is expected
to take them up by the sale of Al per
cent highway and canal bonds. Hith~
erto New York State bonns were In
demand at premium at all times.
| The rate of interest fixed for the Ten
nessee bonds-4 per CENTS per cent
higher than the bonds it is proposed to
take up, but by some oversight or der
sign they were not made eXchangeable
for the OLD. This increased rate would
doubtless be an attraction to the presf
ent investors and it seems likely that
a large part of the refunding could
have been accomplished on an exchange
basis. Another serious flaw in the re-
funding act is the provision that cer-
tain amount OF bonds must be purchase
ed annually at the best offer made.
Under this arrangement il is possible,

POSTMASTER'S
EXAMINATIONS
Congressman Sells Wants
Some Information For First
District.
INQUIRIES OF DEPARTMENT
In the Future Fourth Class Post
masters of the First District
Will Have Places Filled After
Examination, and Congress
man Sells Has Been Making
Some Inquiry as to the Plan
Thereof.

There is every indication that the
foarth class postmasters in the First
district will be selected by the Demo-
Gratis through examinations as the
practice has already been started in
other sections.
There are several vacancies in the
district at this time, and as result,
Congressman Sells has taken up with
the civil service commission the quest
ion of examination in Tennessee for
applicants for positions for fourth class
postmasters- He has been advised
that the commission has no advise
whatever in regard to the time that
the examinations will be held, that no
preparations have been made, ETC.,
which means that it will be some time
to come before anything is done IN re-
gard to the naming of fourth class
postmasters. The latter follows.

in regard thereto. AS soon as definite
arrangements have been made you will
be duly notified OF the method of pro
cedure.
