There has never been legislature
In Tennessee where there were as
many little men, traders, traffickers
and partisans as there were in the
last legislature. And that will be
the case as long as men are elected
alone because they are following the
fortunes of some machine. The ideal
legislator would be an independent
Tenessean, he would cooperate with
the governor, regardless of the poll
tics of that individual when the well
fare of the state demanded it; he
would not hesitate to condemn the
governor, regardless of politics, if his
measures were entitled to public
condemnation. We need above all
things legislature in Tennessee of
more patriotism and less partisan

UNCLE JOE CANNON.

And Joseph G. Cannon, of the
eighteenth Illinois, came back. He
will again be voted for in November
as the republican nominee for c.n-
gress. He has been the nominee
of his party in that district ever
since 1872 and in only two elections
did he carry the banner to defeat.
Alter serving for eighteen years he
was defeated in the great democratic
landslide of 1890. For two yea!s he
lived in retirement Eliminating on
how to get back to congress. The
next time he was nominated and ell
ected and Cor twenty years mora he
was familiar figure in the house
Two years ago the p in Cannon's
district split in twain and a demC-
crat came in. Uncle Joe did not des
pair, however, and this year lie
again announced for the republican
nomination. He had an opponent,
but has triumphed. He will probab
ly be elected i'll November since most
of the progressives have returned
to the republican ranks and the dis
trict n norma, times is overwhelm-
ingly republican.
We confess that while radically
dlsagreeing with Cannon politically
we would like to see him once more
in his old time seat. Uncle Joe has
grown to he a sort Of institution.
He is by long odds the most pic
turesque ard interesting figure in
politics today. He is man of real
ability and valuable legislat )r.
For thirty eigt years he was a factor
in the nations congress and it would
not be a bad idea to permit him to

has already exceeded the record for
service in that body.

THE CRUMP DEAL.
The Journal and Tribune

Says the Journal and Tribune:
zone of the issues to be consider.
ed in the election Of senators and
representatives to the legislature
next November, is whether or not a
legislature will be elected, the maj
ority of which is to be led or driven
by Mayor E. H. Crump, Of Memphis.
"He was on hand when the last
legislature convened in regular SEES
sion, to manipulate and direct what
should and what should not be done
by the representatives of the people"
We agree most heartily with this
statement, but was not the crowd of
which the Journal and Tribune is an
organ, the very crowd in the last
Legislature that Rugged Crump to its
bosom, that joined with the Memphis
boss in the organization of the legis-
lature and that actually elected one
of his youthful henchman as speaker
NJ the house? Whose fault was 1t
that Crump was the master Of the
legislative situation during the first
half of the last legislative session"
Had 1t not been for the fact that
every republican in the house except
two that Hooper could not control,
voted for Stanton, Crump's man
would never have been elevted
speaker of the house. In his place
A. L. Todd, better man and a con-
.sistent supporter of the law enforce
ment measures, would have been
elected speaker Of the house.
Crumps delegation was menace
to the state in the last legislature.
ANY city boss who controls legisla-
tive delegation is menace to the
state. No Crump serVile tools should
be elected; no Hooper tools or Rye
tools should win. The next legisla-
ture should owe allegiance first to
the people of Tennessee. Men

A PATRIOTIC STAND.

President Wilson's statement that
he expected to remain at his post OF
duty during the campaign and would
make no speeches in behalf of the
democratic party will commend itself
to the patriotic sentiment of the peo-
pie of this nation regardless of their
political affiliations. The statement
lis a perfect gem, it breathes a spirit
of the Hottest patriotism in every
line 1t proves the Presidents high
conception Of the duties and respon-
sibilities of his great Office.
The President very properly takes
the view that in this crisis his Office
should be above all party considera-
tons. He is the leader, the chief
and the counsellor OF the American
nation. Naturally democratic sue
cess in the elections this fall would
be most gratifying to the president,
1t would be well deserved endorse
ment of his splendid administration,
but there are much higher considera-
tons than party success. The people
of America in these troubulous times
of world wide CONFUSION may daily
themselves that Wilson
Is the President. Evil will hardly be-
fall nation having SO safe and sane
and patriotic a statesman at the helm
as Wilson. His election was one Of
the most fortunate events that ever
transpired for the American people.
Wilson's foreign policy has been
wise and safe. 1t is more appreciat-
ed now than 1t has ever been. That
the people are behind the President
in his disinterested effort to keep
this country at peace with the world
is shown by the attitude of opposi-
ton leaders who only a short time
ago were loudly declaring that the
Presidents foreign policy was the
one weak place in his record. Now
they have entirely abandoned this
ground. They no longer dare attack
his attitude upon world questions for
they know that in doing so they
would receive very scant il any SYM
pathy from the American electorate

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

There is no excuse whatever for
the merchant or business man in
this section who takes anything but
an optimistic view of the business
situation. Fortunately for the peo-
pie Of Maury county and of Column
bia we long ago quit making cotton
one of our principal crops, and while
because of the big mule industry of
the county, it would be idle to ueny
that the low price of cotton woul1
not effect us, at the same time
Maury county depends largely lpon
those products that are daily ap-
preciating in value. The things that
bring to the county the greater por'
lion of it's revenue are higher now
than they were a month ago, and
they are going to be still higher.
Comparatively few of the small
farmers of the county are going to
get much benefit from the big ad-
vance in wheat so far as their pre-
sent years crop is concerned. But
they made tire biggest yield they
have ever made of that staple and
ut Tho piiCes at which mo Of i
was sold th,v received larger
cash return than they ever before
obtained from wheat crop. The
corn crop is nothing like the failure
that had been expected or predicted.
Late corn will make a fair yield.
The early corn is much better than
the early corn last year. The corn
crop of the county is going to show
a very material increase over the
same crop for 1913. Those who have
q surplus of corn are going to get
big prices.
Hay is scarce it is true.But farm
4ers learned last year a lesson that
they have no. forgotten. They are
preparing to carry their stock
through the winter with the mini
mum of hay More corn is being
put into the shock than ever before.
The people are saving the customary
waste. There will be more winter
pasture than we have ever had. And
this winter pasturage whether used
to carry sheep or hogs or cattle
through the winter is going to prove
immensely profitable. All sorts of
stock, in fact everything that is
grown to feed man upon, is going to
bring splendid prices next year. In
fact we expect the farmers Of this
county to receive next year the best
prices they have ever had for their
products. mis- country must feed
the world and Maury county is one
of the chosen places for growing
foodstuffs.
Their is no money stringency in
the country. There is and will be
the greatest abundance of money
with which to carry on all legitimate
enterprises There is going to be
no trouble about capital for legiti-
mate needs. In the light Of all
these facts that no one can dispute
the people of this section are war
rauted in believing that they are
going to enjoy period Of exception
nj prosperity.
