PUERILE OBJECTIONS.

The Nashville IennesSean denies
our statement that Judge Williams is
the non partisan candidate for the
supreme court and should therefore
be elected if the precedent Of, 1910 is
TO be followed. And In support OF
this contention it cites the fact that
Judge Williams was nominated by in.
dependent democrats and endorsed
by republicans.
That is a fact, and being true
makes his candidacy exactly, or al.
most analogous to that of the indie
pendent candidates in 1910. Let's
see. How did Shields and Neil and
others launch their candidacy? They
announced as Independents, some
time thereafter, in May, great po-
Ntical convention of independent
democrats, in which the independent
movement in Tennessee was born,
was held at Nashville This conven-
ton met for the express and only
purpose of nominating or endorsing
Shields and associates. Later the
republican state executive commit
tee met and formally endorsed their
candidacy. This all happened in
1910. The Tennessean was then an
ardent supporter of Shields and a
free and independent judiciary. 1t
will not now deny that they were in
1910 independent candidates.
Williams in 1914 was endorsed or
nominated at an independent demo-
cratic convention. He was endorsed
by republican convention instead of
q committee. There lies the sole and
only difference between the politics"
Of his contest and the politics Of

ciates were not independent candi.
dates in 1910.
Comes now the Chattanooga Times
and interposes the objection that Will
Hams should not be elected because
he participated in the decision of the
election law controversy, since he
was candidate for reelection and
might be the beneficiary of his own
decision. To this we enter the same
plea of res adjudicata interposed
above to the Tennessean's opposition.
Judge Williams had abundant prece.
dent for his course. In 1910 every
judge upon the supreme court,
Shields, Beard, Neil, Bell and Nc
Alister, was candidate for re-elec.
ton. But it was not even suggest
ed that they should not for that rea.
son, sit upon the election law case.
Conditions were then exactly parallel
with those of this year. The election
law controversy of 1910 involved fac
tional control of the election machin-
cry in Tennessee, just as did the con-
test of 1914 in the court.
Suppose now that Judge Williams
had not been governed by the prec.
edent of 1910 and had certified his
incompetency to Gov. Hooper in the
election law case, what would have
been the result? Coy. Hooper would
have appointed some one to sit upon
the bench. The governor was much
more vitality interested in the out.
come of the election lawsuit than
Judge Williams. The former is a
dangerously ambitious politician. the
latter simply distinguished jurist,
with no ambition to build up a great
machine upon which he can 20 to the
senate of the United States. Every.
thing considered Judge Williams was
exactly right in his course in the
election law case.

Washington April, 25.-The mpelling under
current of feeling in the Senate and House for
declaration of war was tempered tonight by the
acceptance of offers if meditation from the Rep

Congress have for several days been discussing
necessity for declaration of war, and the max
ing of a sweeping Campaign in Mexico and the
ultimate establishment by force of American arms
for peace and Constitutional Government in
Mexico.
Congressmen of both Houses predicted today that
the storm would break Monday as soon as Ameri-
ian troops reached Vera Cruz to support the
Naval forces there. House leaders in conference
say the sentiment in strongly favoring war was
developed. AS originally planned Congress will
appoint committee consisting of Clark and
Underwood, to call upon the President and inform
him that the sentiment of the House was for war.

Making a Time Study.

From the Engineering Magazine. .-.....
l am sometimes asked if the stop-watch
time study is aimed to speed up and drive
the men. If felt for a moment that this
was so would In the future refuse to use
one or have one used for me. In the
hands of men with their hearts in the
right place the time study is one of the
most powerful agencies there is in bring
ing about greater efficiency.
There are three ways to make time
study:
/. Keeping the watch in the pocket so
as to fool 81 the workman.
, Going up to a man and without say
ing word flashing a watch and begin
ming to make notes.
3. Explaining to the men the purpose of
the study: why the watch is necessary
what it all means: winning their consent
and even their interest and approval. and
then making the study.
The first plan is the rankest dink of
deceit and the man who uses this method
should not be surprised II the men in turn
try to go him one better" He deserves

The second plan is disconcerting to the
men: il arouses their antagonism and
makes them feel that they are mere pup
pets-ro be observed without any right to
protest or to ascertain the purposes OF
the study. Only a man lacking tact and
with no knowledge Of human nature
would attempt this sort of study.
