for the building here was awarded to

foundation October tenth, 1912. There
were some delays resulting from the
failure of building material to arrive
on time. bad weather. etc.. otherwise
the completion OF the structure would
have taken place in about seven
months from the date OF beginning. As
it sands today it is a monument to the
skill OF both the architect and the
constructors. as well as to the gener-

ATTORNEY GENERAL GATES.

Attorney General Charles T. Catek
has resigned his ONCE. His friends
have known that for two years he
contemplated this step. He has post
poned action only because his friends
have insisted that the state could i'll
afford to lose his valuable services.
He feels now, however. that since
the death of one of his law partners,
Hon. r. e. L. Mountcastle, he cannot
longer postpone his retirement to pri-
vate life.
We regret very much that Gen.
Gates has determined to resign. The
state needs men of ihs calibre, his in
tegrity and his patriotism in Office.
It needs them more now than it has
ever needed them. It will be very
difficult task, probably impossible to
find as Gen. Gates successor one of
his great legal and forensic abilities.

will so wholeheartedly devote him.

and with an increased appreciation
of the merits Of this country. One
prominent farmer expressed the gen
eral opinion when he stated that the
drouth had given him a more pro-
found respect for this country than
he had ever had. He declared that
he had no idea that the country
could stand such a severe drouth
and produce the crops that it had;
that the results, under the adverse
conditions, had been a revelation to
him. This is the way to look at the
matter. And farmers are taking
this sensible view. They are not &C.
ing to be panic stricken They
know, as no one else can, the mex
haustible resources that are stored
in the soils of this country and that
with proper seasons and intelligent
work they will reap larger haryests
next year than ever before.

q great department of the state. Be.
fore he was elected eleven years ago
the attorney general of Tennessee
was little more than the reporter OF
the decisions Of the supreme court
and the state prosecutor before that
tribunal. He leaves the office as high
in the esteem of the people as any
in the whole scheme of government.
He has been the trusted and the safe
adviser of all the other departments
of the state. He has successfully
conducted to final conclusion some
of the greatest legal contests Tennes-
see has ever had. He has been cour
ageous enough to do his duty at all
times. regardless of the consequences.
Gates record for the past eleven
years has been brilliant one. He
successfully prosecuted to the su-
preme court of the United States the
celebrated Steel Wire case involving
a construction of the revenue laws of
the state. He was successful rep
resentative Of the state before the
same august tribunal in number Of
boundary disputes. He successfully
prosecuted the first corporation GUST
er suit in Tennessee. In only one i'm
portant case was his opinion ever
overruled by the supreme court and
that was upon the question of the as.
sessment of localized railroad proper

for an honest election law. He de-
Tended with success all OF the temper

He drafted the act that forbids race

supreme court of the state. He for

CRIMINALS IN THE NAVY.

Secretary Daniels protests against
sending youthful criminals to the
navy. He believes that 1t is unjust
and unfair to the young men of char.
acter who enlist in the navy from pa
triotic motives to serve their country
to attempt to make of the navy sort
OF reform school where the direlcts
OF the country may be dumped. 1t
has been the fashion for a long time
for courts to tell young offenders that
they would escape punishment il
they would agree to enlist in the
navy. Uncle Sam needs sailors. Ev-
cry time y new ship is launched the
cry goes out for more enlisted men
for the navy and it has been an easy
thing for young criminals who could
pass the physical examination to get
into the navy. And the battleships
have proven good place to reform
men. Many of these youthful crimi-
nails have proven to be good sailors;
they have attended to their duties
and have performed splendid service
for their country. At the same time
1t is unjust to the young men who
enter the navy for a higher motive
than to escape the penalties of their
mfsdeeds to force them to associate
with men who really ought to have
gone to the penitentiary. There is
merit in the protest of Secretly Dan
Iels. 1t should be needed.

supreme court Gen. Gates has been
highly successful. He has mastered
the details of the cases that he has
tried. His argument in the celebrat.
ed Cooper case marks him one Of the
ablest advocates the state has ever
produced. His speech in that case
was a revelation even to his ardent
friends, accustomed as they were to
expect prodigies of work and effort
from his brain.
Charles T. Gates should be in the
senate. He is admirably equipped
for service in that great delberative
body. Incorruptible, eloquent, mas
terful he would be the peer OF any
senatorial the Union. He is in the
prime of life, with all of his great
powers of mind unimpaired. He is a

dent. He masters every case that
commands his attention. There is
no more consistent or fndefatigable
worker in the state. His capacity
for work is simply tremendous. His
zeal for any cause that enlists his
sympathy is almost excessive. He
never tires. Whatever he undertakes
to do he does well.

THE LOCAL DRourH.

While this section of the state has
suffered from probably the most pro.
tracted drouth that it has ever
known, certainly since that Of 1881,
those who have visited the west are
agreed that the loss here as the re
suit of the drouth will be nothing to
compare with that of Nebraska, KAN
sas, Western Missouri and portions
of Oklahoma. In many sections OF
the states mentioned the corn crop is
total failure even for stover. On
very few fields in Middle Tennessee
has there been anything like total
failure of this crop. Farmers who
are fortunate enough to have siios
have been able to save very large
proportion Of the crop. Others have
cut and shocked and immense
amount. On all good land there will
be fair yield of grain, probably an
average of forty per cent. may be
slightly more, which is long way
from being total failure.
Pastures have suffered severely, in
fact worse than the corn crop, but
those who have been in the West de-
clare that we have more grass than
those people have and that our stock
looks better. And we also have this
great advantage, that the people out
there face a winter in which the feed
ing period will be double that of our
winter With mild weather during
the coming winter, our stock can 60
to grass the first of March; it will be
the latter part of April or May before
they can be turned to pasture in the
West.
And herein lies one Of our greatest
as cattle and sheep
growing country. We can have pas
ture almost the year around. Very
few farmers should be without win
ter pasture this year. They have
opportunity to SOW rye, bar
ley, crimson clover and other cover
crops. Every corn field in the coun.
ty is clean and mellow. Without
any expense of cultiva-
ton these crops can be sown. Their
value for the prevention OF washing
and leeching Of the soil will more
than pay the cost OF the seed. The
winter pasturase afforded will be
clear profit. With plenty Of this sort
Of pasturage sheep will rot have to
