w, K. ALTERNATELY.

William X. Alternately, four times
representative from McNairy county,
and one time speaker Of the house,
has announced his candidacy for the
senate. He should be elected and
we believe that he will be. AS the
floor leader of the forces OF good
government in the last legislature he
added to his reputation as a parlia-
mentarian, forceful advocate and a
dependable legislator. He has the
highest conception of public duty.
He refused to present bill as a
member of a committee for more
than actual time and expenses and
for his pains was left entirely out OF
the appropriation. He is honest and
loyal. While partisan he places al
legiance to the state above any fac
tional or party loyalty.
The state would be fortunate If 1t
had legislature made up of men OF
the character anu dpiii'y VI LII
Alternately He is, in point of abil,
ity, far and away above the average
of men elected to the Tennessee
legislature. For years he mas been
a student of state government. He
has an analytical mind and a quick
grasp of public questions. His LONG
career as a legislator has proven his
devotion to the public interest. He
has never sought to use his power
and influence as a law-maker for sell
fish, personal ends. The people OF
his senatorial district are going to
stand in their own light If they dc
not give him term in the senate.

OPPORTUNITY IN THE SOUTH.

One of the leading articles in the
current issue of the Country Gentle
men is devoted to the South, which
the writer declares is full of oppor-
tunity spelled with capital 90"
This writer declares that the people
of the country have been slow to re-
cognize and appreciate the tremend-
GUS opportunities of this favored Sec
ton of America. He might also have
added that the people of the South
themselves have been equally as
slow to realize just how favored and
blessed by nature they have been.
There is not one man In
this great and beautiful coun-
try right at our doors who fully ap-
preciates the possibilities and the
opportunities which it presents to
those who are willing to work in
telligently and persistently. We
often hear the remark made that
Middle Tennessee is a great country
in which to live If one sis comfort
ably fixed" but that the door OF CD
portunity is closed to those whom
fortune has not already favored.
There is not word OF truth in this
statement. There is not anywhere a
field of similar size where there are
greater opportunities for the young
man of energy and determination and
hustle and character than right here
in Middle Tennessee. It is no land
of magic. There are no trees ladden
with dollars which may be had by a
gentle shake, there are no Aladin's
lamps to bring wealth by. simple
exercise of the wrist. But for the
young man who realizes that in the
end most of the folks get in this
world Just about what they deserve
and more often more than less, and
who is willing to pay the price that
folks in most every cline and every
age have had to pay to achieve sue
cess and climb the ladder, this coun
try is just simply brim full Of op.
portunities.
There are too many folks who are
always casting longing eyes just over
the hill. The country beyond is al
ways the country that holds oppor
tunity for them. 1t is in the fal
away that success and wealth are to
be achieved without work and toll
and sacrifice And some men are
apparently lucky" they do go fal
from home and achieve a measure Of
success with little apparent effort
but the great majority win 1t by hon
est endeavor; by ceaseless toll and
by self-denial. The characteristics
that will win in one country will
usually bring success in another
This land has been blessed Of provi
dence and favored as few have been;
its climate; its soil; its water all com
bine to make the ideal land for the
home maker and the home builder.

STATE ELECTION BOARD.

Regardless of what the final decl-
sion of the supreme court may be re-
garding the title of Reichman as
member of the state board OF cleo
tions. a member of the so-called reg
ular" faction should be on that board.
since Mr.. Reichman's title Is void
regular" democrat should be elected
to his place, by that Is meant one VINO
in the last election voted the "regu-
lar" democratic ticket. While Judge
Sam Young, the chairman OF the
board voted for McMillin, he is gen
orally classed as an independent dem
ocrat for the reason that he has al.
ways stood for temperance and law
enforcement and against Patterson
and his old machine. He is withal
one of the cleanest men in the public
life of the state, and regardless of
what his political affiliations might be,
could always be depended upon to ap-
point as county commissioners only
democrats of the highest character,
The independent democrats, the ad-
vocates of law enforcement and tenn
perance, do not now and have never
sought any unfair advantage in the
election machinery of the state. They
have been willing that the regulars"
should at all times have representa-
ton upon the state and county
boards, and that they are clearly en-
titled to that. Because the "regu-
lar" state board sought to disfran-
chise all Of the republicans and indie
pendents Of the state by denying
them any representation whatever at
the polls, is no reason whatever why
similar attitude should be taken
now that the old law has been sus-
tanned. 1t is clearly right and fair
that all political parties should have
representation in the casting and
counting of the votes. Too much
stress has been laid upon the control
of our election machinery in the past.
Every good citizen should endeavor
to create such sentiment for fair
and honest elections that it would not
matter what the system might be, or
who might be selected to execute 1t,
fair and honest elections would come
as q matter of course in Tennessee.
And it is gratifying to know that we
are making progress toward that end.

GENERALIZATION,

No one can deny the tendency to-
ward the Capitalization of power in
the Federal government. It is not a
party issue. Democrats are seeming
ly as anxious to vest in the general
government all of the functions of the
administration as are the republicans.
They have contributed just as much
toward the enactment of legislation
that would give powers to the central
government, heretofore regarded as
belonging exclusively to the states,
as their political opponents. And
now a democrat proposes that the
federal government regulate and con-
troll all of the stock exchanges of the
country. This is another invasion of
what we old line democrats have
been taught was purely the domain
of state legislation.
The Federal government is extend
ing it's powers, crossing the line long
believed to divide it from the func-
tons of the state, because it does
things so much better than the states.
AS government becomes more and
more paternalistic; as it progresses
further and further away from the
simple ideals of the early days of the
republic; as it extends its functions
and duties, the tendency is toward

THE MORAL VIEWPOINT.

1t is gratifying when a railroad
president comes out in favor of the
observance of the Sabbath and points
out the fact that the operation OF
train on that day, while very conven-
lent for the public, is not altogether
desirable. Recently John Howe Pey-
ton, the new president Of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga & St. Louis Rail-
road, has been importuned by the
people living on the branch lines OF
that road, to operate Sunday trains
on these branches. Mr.. Peyton con-
cedes that the operation of trains
on Sunday would make for the con-
venience of the people, but he has
also called attention to the fact that
to operate them would make 1t neces-
sary for many people who now have
the opportunity to attend church or
Sunday school to work. There are
a number of others who would be de-
prived of day of rest or recreation
with their families.
Corporations are usually regarded
as wholly soulless institutions, abso-
lutely without sentiment and 1t must
be conceded that the heads Of some
of them have so conducted their af-
fairs as to give color to this none
too creditable belief. The Nashville,
Chattanooga & st. Louis Railroad
has never been in this class. 1t Is
apparent from the statement OF the
new president that the same high
ideals that have characterized its
management in the past will be OBJ
served in the future. 1t is altogether
true that Sunday trains do afford
many a chance to travel who would
not otherwise have the opportunity;
they bring the mails and the papers
and keep one closer in touch with
the outside world, but their opera
ton makes train crews and station
hands and agents and officials work
seven days in the week and denies
them the right that others crave OF
attending divine services on Sunday.
There should be less and less Of
Sunday work. Every possible effort
should be made by corporations and
individuals to eliminate labor, so far
as it can be done, on that day. Not
only does a general observance OF
Sunday make for better morals, but
man is entitled to one day Of rest in
seven. He does better work on the
remaining six. The experience OF
the world has proven that it is not
best for many to work all the time.
There should be opportunity for rest
and recreation. The business of the
world should be and can be attended
to on six days. Very, very few men
labor seven days week from choice.
With our modern and complex civil
iization Sunday labor cannot be
altogether eliminated but it should
be minimized.

The "Majah" appealing to the true
disciples of Carmack is pretty rank
exhibition of nerve. Where was the
"majah" when the unjust attack was
made on Carmack in 1906 that de-
prived him of seat in the senate to
which he was entitled by every rule
of right and democracy? Where was
he in that great campaign of 1908
when Carmack led the forces OF
good government? Where was he
when the bullet of the assassin laid
low our knightly leader?

THE IMMIGRATION TEST.

President Wilson's opposition to
the literacy test for immigrants will
be disappointing to those who had
hoped for higher standard in the
admission of people from other coun-
tries in the future. The Presidents
position will not meet the approval
Of the majority of his party. That
there is a strong demand for strict
er test in the admission of aliens to
our shores is attested by the fact that
