E. II. Hatcher.
Columbia L a W yer who
was Strong Personal
Friend and Political
Friend of Senator Car
mack, Drops His Inde-
pendence.

Z. H. Hatcher, q Oolnmbis
lawyer, regarded as a strong
man, who has been prominent
and persistent in the cause of in
dependence in Tennessee, has
come out for Rye-in q weak and
childish statement. Mr.. Hat
cher issnef a statement, OF
which we will give the essential
features.
First, he says: | was heartily
in sympathy with the free and
nntrammeled judiciary"
Now we would like to know If
he has abandoned his ideas of a
free judiciary, along with his
surrender in politics. We are
betting that he will cast his vote
for Judge Burrow-likewise for
George Welch for Railruad Com.
missioner.
In reference to the regular,
makeshift platform, he says:
The Democratic nominee on
that platform is one of the ablest
men in the State" Mr.. Hat.
cher has long lived close enough
to the home Of Gen. Rye to
know that he has never perform
ed any duty or filled any posi-
tion that would justify the state
ment that he is one Of the ablest
men in the State. 1t may be 50,
but there is nothing on which
any man can know it. Hc;ssays'
that Gen. Rye is 3 gentlenAa Of
upright public and private char
acter, which we grant. His fur
ther statement that there has
prevailed for q long time a we'll
founded sentiment against a
third term in the Governors
chair. We admit the senti-
ment, whether or not we'll found
ed.
Mr.. Hatcher caps the climax
of his childish statement when
he says: "All the patriotism,
statesmanship ane executive
ability is not centered in Hoop:
er alone" Will Mr.. Hatcher
please point out even one man
who has ever made such a state
ment-including Major Stahl-
man, who long ago admitted that
he was "A fool about Hooper. !"
Mr.. Hatcher goes on deeper into
the mire when he declares: We
have chosen from among the
franks ofthe Democrats candi-
date that 10 certainly an equal if
not q superior to Governor Hoop
er in these elements" In what
thing that Mr.. Rye has done and
At what period Of his life, does
i Mrs. Hatcher wish to compare
lhim with Gogernor Hooper to
show that, he is the equal il not
the superior. Of the Governor.

| The frequent discussions OF ract

one sharp distinction: TO advocate

tlon. Whatever may be Thought o.
a willful failure to add 10 the. numel-
zeal strength OF the Tace or to assume
! full domestic responsibility, the short
commings of persons thus derelicl
cannot be for moment ranked VIII
the crime of the man OF the Woma-
VINO destroys the life of an unoor l.
child.
Ideals of domestic duty, race res
possibility and individual honor ana
decency differ. These may be nle-
or IUm, Wopumy or unworthy, wise OF
. unwise, but murder is murder, anu
there are no graduations or variations
of opinion or standards on the ques-
I'tion of murder.
1t is gross injusticeeto include this
crime in any discussion Of the Ques-
ton of large families, as if II could
be possible for any human being with
reason or conscience to justly Lne
taking of life. To strangle babe
which has been in it's mothers arms
a week is no greater crime in the
eyes of God, the law of nature, OF the
moral sense than to blot out the life
at any moment of the prenatal exis-
tence.
To decree that possible children
children shall not come into being at
all is indeed a grave responsibility,
but it is not crime. Not to marry
when marriage is possible is also a
serious responsibility, but it is not
a crime.
To regard parenthood as a respon-
sibility to be deliberately assumed
and to be governed by the best judg-
ment and highest regard for the wei
fare of all concerned Of which a bus
band and wife are capable may be a.
new viewpoint, and perhaps not the
true one, but it Is as far removed as
heaven from hell from the crime Of
abortion.
This much must be understood

problems raised by the term are many
and complicated, but, for the sake OF
human nature and the reverence with
which all wish to regard it, let there
be no interference drawn from exist
ing conditions which would make it
appearf that tolerence Of child slaugh-
ter is in any degree comm ensurate
with the common belief in the wisdom
and desirability of small families.
Crime may be all too common, but
lit is crime none the less, and there
should be no confusion in the mind
OF anyone as to the chasm separating
conditions which are utterly foreign.
Neither should there be any possible
chance for the weak, thoughtless or
vicious to shield themselves for MUIR
derous crime behind the serious views
of self-respecting and honorable per

Notes. From Ohio

If an old English speaking miner
should happen to go into~a coal mine
today he would be surprised to see the
difference In the way coal is mined
and the difference in the people who
mine it. Where formerly coal was
produced only by a pick, today it is
narly all mined by machines. And
in the place of American miners the
foreigners have taken almost wholly
to that branch of work. If mining
machines were again discontinued,
and all coal dug with a pick, not
twenty men out of hundred employ
ed in the mines of Ohio today would
be able to hold their jobs.
Probably no where in the Ohio Val
ley is there an industrial plan t which
has enjoyed the steady work that has
been had by the employees of the Bel
mont Casket company of Shadyside,
Ohio. This plant is, and has been for
a number of years running every day
up to its full capacity and gives en-
ployment to large number OF people.
This is the only public works that
Shadyside has at the present as the
glass factory and enamel plants erect
ed there both burned down.
The Socialists of Bellaire who have
kept the party in official existence in
that city. are ding to have member
ship campaign and it Is their desire
to get every Socialist voter in the city
into the, local party if. possible. The
great trouble with the Socialist Vo-
tiers Of today lies in the fact that he
thinks il he. votes the ticket he is
doing all he can to further the cause
ofSocialism. The real Socialist is
one who not only belongs TO the party
but sells literature and. helps to keep
Socialist papers in the hands of the
moss covered advocates Of DemoRep-
