T. w. SIMS
ASSAULTED
Congressman Attacked on
the Streets of Wash
ington by a Capitol City
Banker.

On last Friday morning Con
gresham T.W. Sims was assault
ed in Washington by Charles @
Glover, president of the Riggs
National Bank Of Washington
He was struck one time on The
face by the irate banker whom
the Congressman had .displeased
by exposing Growers scheme to
unload real estate holdings on
the city Of Washington at an ex.
orbitant price. Glover sudden.
ly accosted Mr.. Sims and de.
manded apology for speech
made in the house last January.
Mr.. Sims said that it had been
the policy of his life to do no
man intentional injustice, that
he believed he was right in the
speech referred to and declined
to apologize. Glover's assault
on Mr.. Sims was said to be the
elimination of differences dat
ing back to 1908, when as a
member of the District of COL
umbia Committee, our Congress
man got the name of being a
thorn in the side Of the "Plun.
derers Of Washington" and in
connection with Glover Mr..
Sims was said to be largely re-.
sponsible for preventing the sale
of 100 acres of land in the Dis
trict for the sum of $420, 900,
showing that the land, instead
of appreciating in value, as
claimed by Banker Glover, had
deprecated. Mr.. Sims show
ing in his speech on the End Of
January that Glover had wilful-
ly and deliberately made false
statements under oath, was the
immediate cause of attack upon
himself by the banker who had
been shown up in his true colors
by the Congressman who always
had the moral courage to do
what he believes to be right.
Glover is not only president of
the biggest bank in Washington,
but has been regarded as
political Of the Capitol City and
his Washington bank is a6iliat-
ed with the Standard Oil Bank
Of New York. All the crooks,
big and little look alike to Con-
gresham Sims.

And Oklahoma Too.

Tennessee is not the only state
in which the Governor and the
Legislature are at loggerheads.
Out in Oklahoma, last week,
Governor Oruce scored the sol
ons in o message read on the
floor of the House, where the
Governor was denounced and
the message sent back to him,
he in turn refusing to receive it.
The difference between Tennes-
see and the Western state is
that here the House has been
acting in defiance Of the consti-
tuition, having no quorum, while
out there the whole body was
present. Out there the bone of
contention is the expenditure of
money by recent special SEES
sion, while in Sunny Tennessee
the handspring of difference is
RED LIQUOR.

What Some Women
Want.

While many women are fight
ing for the ballot, others are op.
posing that movement and there
are organizations of women who
are determinedly working to
keep their sex within the sphere
in which they have done much
to elevate mankind. Al 4lrong
of anti-suffraglsts appeared in
Washington few days ago for
the purpose of protesting to the
Senate Woman Suffrage Com
mittee against the constitution
al amendment giving the right
Of franchise to their sex. Speech.
es were made by the anti-suf.
fragists and many papers read
in protest against the move
ment. One paper read by
Mrs. William L. Putnam, of
Massachusetts,, written by Kate
Douglas Virgins wrote:
II cannot believe that the
ballot is the first or the next or
the best thing to work for. /
want woman to be q good home
maker, a good mother and a 10y.
al, intelligent, active citizen,
but above all, to be a helpful,
stimulating, inspiring force in
the world, rather than q useful
and influential factor in politics.
It's even more difficult to be an
inspiring woman than a good
citizen and honest voter.
"A woman's job, to my mind,
is with other women, with chill,
dren and with men, next to
children, are most dependent
upon what she thinks and says,
and does, and is. I would have
woman strong enough to keep

Self Sacrificing (?) State
Game Warden Succeed
ed by w. D. Hauser, a
CIarksville Lawyer.

On last Friday, W. D. Hauser,
er, past grand master of the
Tennessee l. O. o. f. was ap.
pointed State Game Warden, by
Gov. Hooper, to succeed Col.
j. Il. Acklin, who it will be re-
membered was so much interest
ed in the fish, game and forestry
Of the State that he actually Of
fered to take the job Of Game
Warden without salary. To give
an idea of the self-sacri6cing
spirit of the colonel, Mr.. Hauser
the " warden will retain as
sala 4e sum ol $500 for him
self s0side $1,000 each for an as
sistant and stenographer. The
self-sacrificing part played by
Col. Acklin will be long remem-
bered in the State-especially
when we learn the excess over
salaries to be turned into the
State Treasury.
