formation received yesterday By the
good roads committee of the board
of trade throuh a telegram from Dell
M. Potter, of New York, president
of the association. The object o. the
association is the final construction

The decision of the New York
board in favor of the Tennessee route
follows struggle with advocates Of
another route which would have cut
across upper Alabama and Mississip-
pi, and still another across the Great
Lakes region.
The route proposes to enter Ten
nessee from Washington, touching
both Bristol and Knoxville; then
Nashville and Memphis.
/ That Tennessee will ct this link in
the reat highway is considered at
tributable to the prominence given
the state in the Memphis to Bristol
Highway project and the national
route it is presumed, will follow the
translate road. A surveying party,
according to the telegram, will soon
start over the proposed route, stndy-
ing and publishing description of
the country.
President Potter made a recent trip
through Tennessee in the interest of
the project, and was in conference
a day or two with Charles C. Gilbert
at Memphis. After that he visited
other Tennessee points. His tele-
egram upon reaching New York fol-

Socialism and Syndicalism

A controversy over the retention of
some individual as leader of a great
movement usually involves a princi-
pie. In that case the final verdict tax
es on more than personal significance.
1t indicates how the tides of opinion
are running. There come times
when opposing individuals stand for
fundamentally different theories of
conduct. Whichever person wins the
most adherents in the struggle for
supremacy personifies the majority
opinion, that in turn shapes deeds
and makes history. The recurring an
nual attacks on Samuel GOmpers in
the American Federation of Labor
convention illustrate the point. He
has come to symbolic a relatively
conservative element that will not
transform trade unionism In America
into socialism; and thus far he has
won successive denominations be.
cause he has been identified with that
More recently, in the same field of
human interest and conflict, has aris-
en- similar issue centerng around

syndicalism which, sooner or later,
in the United States, seemed due to
grapple and fight it out. What more
natural than that the occasion for
the test should be proposition to ex-
clude from further share in the So
cialist party's leadership William Hay
wood, long known in the far west
but of late active east of the Alleghan-
les? Long before Sorel taught and
French syndicalists practiced direct
action" and sabotage, this American
practically favored such tactics; and
his emphasis for years has been upon
force rather than political action,
agitation or legislation. If he retains
his place in the Socialists ranks af.
ter the poll of the party now under
way, the retention will show clearly
0at the opportunist wing is weaker
than its rival, the more radical fac
ton. If Haywood is elected, a crisis
in the party's history will have been
passed, and moderates who have more
faith in reason and in pacified meth
DDS of change of social structure will
take courage.
Citizens outside. the socialist move
ment will welcome an outcome that
will make it as clear as possible to
the country at large just what are the
proportions of syndicalist following.
Its theory of society and social trans
formation is so opposite in type to
democracy as hitherto conceived in
America that the sooner it finds incar-
nation in some typical character and
the sooner it sharply challenges demo-
cratic ethics and institutions, the bet
ter for society.-Christian Science

A Courageous Governor

One can but applaud the courage
and consistency of Governor Lister.
Early in the action he declared
against the restoration of the Cheney
Normal school buildings which were
DESTROYED By fire. His contention
was that two normal schools amply
supplied the needs Of this state, and
he even went further when he init
mated that one large and splendidly
equipped normal school was more to
be desired than two small ones.
The good sense of the state jumped
with the humor of Governor Lister,
but Eastern Washington was unit
in favor of rebuilding the Cheney
Normal and promising to vote for pork
barrel measures in which Western
members are interested. A bill ap-
propriating 100000 to be used in
"beginning' the restoration of the
Cheney buildings, passed both houses
and was sent to the governor for his
signature.
Governor Lister showed no hesit-
ancy in returning the bill with a
ringing veto message which so Jared
the temporary state house as to rem
der repairs necessary. The amazed
solons gathered in groups and dis
cussed, with bated breath, that gov
ernor person who was trying to show
that he meant what he said during
the campaign and after 1t was as
IL a rara avis or strange guy, had
come athwart the range Of their VI
sion and they were truly dumbfound-
ed.
The legislature may pass the Che
ney bill and other appropriation bills,
over the veto Of Governor Lister,

JAPANESE PROVERBS.

Patience is the rope of ad-
yancement in all lines of life.
The ignorant are never defeat
ed in any argument.
1t is more easy TO evade the
trouble which heaven sends us
than that which we bring upon
ourselves.
If the water be too pure fish
cannot live in it. If people be
too exacting fellow beings can
not stand beside them.
Where there are no birds the
bat will be king.
If the mind is clear even in
dark room there will be radiance.
If the thought is dark at noon
day there will be demons.
Be not lenient to your own
faults. Keep. your pardon for
others.
When the sense Of shame Is
lost advancement ceases.
Genius hears one individual
and then comprehends ten.
Negligence looks at the battle
field, then makes it's arrows.
Seeking information Is a mo-
ment's shame, but not to learn Is
surely a lasting shame.
A woman without jealousy u
like a ball without elasticity.
Unless blind and deaf one can
not be impartial.
In trying to straighten her
horns the COW was killed.
