If he had bis way there would be an en-
tirely different state Of affairs in the
railroad world. Mr.. Peytcn is Vir-
ginian OF the old school and We have
great confidence in him.
The Commercial has no prejudice
against corporation simply as a cor
poration. When a corporation serves
the purpose Of cooperation in business
it is an advantage to the public, but
when il brushes an independent dealer
unfairly it is amenable to law and
should be held responsible like the or
binary law breaker. Individual mem
bers Of corporation should be made to
respect the law as ordinary citizens are
made to respect it, and if guilty Of yio-
Iation they should be punished. Com
petition will always exist uotwithstand-
ing corporations. It will show in some
manner il not in rates. Every firm or
corporation has an ambition to excel
and that Of itself will keep alive the
spirit Of competition. The government
belongs to the people and they and not
corporations will eventually control.
Therefore only those corporations can
stand which are intended to be just and
fair to the public.

Letter from Mr.. Waller.

Messrs. Marshall & Baird, Editors
Commercial, Union City, Tenn. Gem
tlemen: Ny attention has been called
to an editorial in this weeks issue of
your paper, in which appears the fol-
lowing;
1--WE understand, however, that Mr.,
Waller, Chief Counsel of the Legal De-
partment, admits that the opening lead
ing to the siding from Niles drug store
corner and telephone office corner, to
all practical purposes, has been dedi-
Gated as street. 1t has heretofore been
claimed by some OF the officials that
this is not street. "
This is quotation, or at least a
misunderstanding Of what occurred be-
fore the Railroad Commission. What
happened was this: There was some
statement made that the street was
opened across the railroad company
property to the depot / remarked that
| il this were true, it was only being used
| by permission Of the company, and Il
such use had amounted to dedication
by the company Of this property as q
street the company certainly had made
mistake in doing so. Thereupon Mr..
Hunter Mcdonald, Chief Engineer,
explained that it had not been dedi-
Gated to the public but the company
had for time permitted its use in order
that its patrons might reach the station
from that side OF the depot. did not
make any admission that there had been
any dedication by the railroad company
OF the property as a street. On the
contrary, it had been my understand
ling all along that no such dedication
had been made. There had been simply
a permissive use Of the property as an
approach to the depot for q time, aud

had not been done with the idea Of ded'

Congressional Extravaganza.

NOuSk CSSlOAidA -AIAdN0S0AASS'
The attention OF Congress has again
been called to what is known as author
lied extravaganza in the appropriation
OF automobiles for the use of public Of
ficials, or an annual appropriation for
that purpose. Additional appropriations
OF this nature were made few days ago.
This is wrong and the people should de-
mand halt. 1t is remembered that
Congressman Sims opposed an annual
appropriation OF $4,000 for autono-
biles for the use Of the President and
also that Congressman Sims is man OF
very conscientious scruples along that
line. He is one real, honest Democrat
in Congress and will always be found
doing his duty regardless Of influence.
The fact is that congressman are guilty
of personal extravaganza OF an unwar-
ranted nature. They get mileage OF 20
cents per mile and stationery and abuse
the ranking privilege and then salary
above it all that is compensation enough
alone. This mileage, il allowed at all,
should be for actual expenses Of travel.
But we deny the justice Of allowing it at
all. The clerk hire is $3.50 per month
and an additional month every year is
voted to the clerks. Some Of the Con-
gressmen and Senators employ a stenog-
rapher at small salary and hold back
part Of this fund. You see, then, what
sort Of luxury the officials in Congress
and in the Executive Departments get
at the expense OF the people.
This, however, is only the beginning
Of extravaganza and abuse Of office. II
permeates all branches Of government.
and to our minds it is one OF the weak
points, so far, in the present Admins
tration. The Administration is trying
to cure an evil, and that evil is the failure
OF wealth in bearing its part OF the bur-
dens Of taxation. Specifically corpora
tons and individuals have been lodging
the personal property tax until it has
become a joke. That is what brought
about the income tax law--to cure the
evil. 1t was brought about to equalize
taxation, but we deny the right Of q
member Of Congress or any other mem.
Der Of the official family to indulge in
extravaganza at the expense OF the tax
payer, even at the expense OF the in.
come taxes. The income tax is just
but it is not justice to ask any private
citizen to contribute to official extrava'
gance, and il President Wilson doesn'l
begin soon to make some reforms along
these lines we shall hold that his Ad'
ministration is not consistent with Demo
cratic pledges and with the progressive
ideas Of government. Congressman dc
enough when they raised their owr
salaries from $4,000 to $1,000 year
They should have no more, whether I
be in mileage, stationery or what not
and this wholesale abuse Of Congress
sional power in the purchase Of private
automobiles should call for a ringini
protest from the people who pay To-
| them.

er that Judge Neil had .railrcaded"
Henry Davis, alias John Williams, to
the electric chair and that Williams was
'beastly drunk" at the time Of the
homicide, and this was Governor Hoop
er's reason for committing him to life
Imprisonment. The Supreme Court
passed upon the facts Of the case and
affirmed it. II the evidence showed
that Davis was beastly drunk the court
would have reversed the case. The de-
ferse claimed that the negro was not
drunk and the negro claimed he was
sober Therefore his crime was without
any mitigation whatever. We under
stand there was not scintilla OF evil
dence to support the Governors charge.
The prisoner appealed for mercy and
this led Judge Neil to ask the Governor
to commute him. Governor Hooper
then seized upon the case to say mean
things OF Judge Neil and inhame an
ignorant race OF people. against the
courts of the State, all for political pur-
poses. He charged that there was a
system" of "railroading" all over the
State, which is a wicked SANDER of the
judiciary of Tennessee, and made the
statement TO win the favor Of negro
voters. It is easy to see that politics
was at the bottom Of it.
Last fall when Judge Neil was doing
everything in his power to break up
lawlessness in Nashville Single handed,
and while he was being threatened on
every side, Governor Hooper, at Column
bus, Ohio, stigmatised it as "spasm
OF virtue This was not true, as every
reader OF the Nashville papers knows,
and it was done at time when Judge
Neil needed the helpof the people whom
Governor Hooper tried to turn against
him.
Now, the fact OF the business is that
we erred only in technical way. The
truth is that Governor Hooper has been
fighting Judge Neil, the only man in
Tennessee who has really tried to en-
force the liquor laws up to the present
time. Governor Hooper had been cred
tied with sincerity in his professions for
the cause of Statewide prohibition even
by his political enemies. But his attack
on Judge Neil has unsettled that posi-
ton and placed the Governor where he
really belongs.
The attack on Judge Neil aud the
judiciary is bid for the negro vote and
sharp play at the political game. II
his independent friends can see it in any
other light it is beyond us. Everybody
knows beyond doubt that Judge Neil
is making an effort to close all the
drinking places in Nashville. The last
raid be caused to be made was on LUZ
CARTS places, and be told the Sheriff
that he would close them if he had to
lock the doors. There is no question
about what Judge Neilis doing, and there
is no question that bis only motive is to
respect his oath in the enforcement Of
the law.
Now we are not asking that the indie
pendents follow false cry Of harmony.
We are not asking them to 60 blindly
to a halter. But should there be a
Democratic candidate who is also a
known State-wider with Statewide
platform, then we don'tknow what kind
OF Democrat he is who would support
Governor Hooper under the circum-
stances

ter. Yours truly.
CLAUDE WALLER,
General Counsel.
Nashville, Tenn, Mar IA, 1914.
The above letter from Mr.. Claude
Waller, General Counsel of the N, G.
& St. L. Railway Co., in regard to a
statement 10 this paper last week, con-
tains the exact import of his remarks
in the matter. At the same time we
would like to observe that what The
Commercial was trying to convey was
the idea that Mr.. Walters statement
was practically an admission that the
use Of this opening was equivalent or
amounted to the same thing as dedi-
cation. We did not mean to say that
the railroad company had at any time
formally or otherwise dedicated the
street. This is what we understood from
the gentlemen who went to Nashville to
confer in the matter. Now, the fact Of
the matter, notwithstanding Mr.. Nc
Donald says that the company had for
time permitted its use in order that
its patrons might reach the station from
that side OF the depot, this opening
has been used continuously as walk
way for many years, even before Mr..
Gibbs leased the land to the railroad
company. The writer remembers walk

Principle Of Personal Freedom

Liberty Has Always Been the Prevail

and Sciences of the Race Have
Grown In This Atmosphere.

New York-There is hardly =
country In the world where the prin-
ciple of personal freedom is SO deeply
rooted in the hearts of the people as
1t is in the Dutch. Holland was the
first country to recognize and estab-
fish the right Of individual liberty
the right to think and the right to
speak. Holland has always extended
q hearty welcome to all those who
were oppressed and prosecuted in 9TH
er lands; Huguenots from France,
Puritans from England, Jews from
Spain and Germany, they all fed to
Holland and made the country pros
porous.
This is what appeals to Americans
What Holland has been in the past
America is today. Holland was the
land of religious liberty in the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries
America is the land Of intellectual anc
economic freedom of the present age
Freedom has been the dominan'
note during the entire history of the
Dutch, and art and science have grown
in the atmosphere Of liberty, anc
reached the highest level. Go and 40
mire the masterpieces Of Rembrandt
Halls, Potter and Dou, and you will
realize that their works were borl
in the land of the free.
In the field of science, Holland ha
accomplished more than any othe
country of It's size. Coster, Spinoza, d
Vries, Want Hoff are known all tn
world over, and of late years five o
more Hollanders have obtained tn
Nobel prize for science, for chemistr

with the internal foe, the water, and
every in,h Of land has been conquered
from the sea!
Today in Holland there is harmony
in the land and peace with the world
outside. Holland has been chosen by
the rest Of the world as the great cen
ter. from which the idea Of peace and
peaceful arbitration may spread, slow
ly, but surely, over all the nations OF
the earth.
The first book on international peace
the world has ever seen was written
by a Hollander, Hugo de Groot, as
early as 1921. The world now seems
ready to apply the idea of peace, and
a large number Of disputes between
nations have already been settled IN
the Peace palace at The Hague.
AS far as size is concerned, Holland
is a small country, but 1t may well be
proud Of its past and its present, and
1t still has a mission to fulfill in the
future civilization Of man

nrowsiness In Church.

Why bald heads nod in church, to
the great annoyance of ministers has
been discovered by Ralph Eyre OF
Osceola, Ia, a senior electrical engi-
neering student in the State univer-
sity. Mr.. Eyre has found the scien-
tiic basis for the fact that bald headed
men are prone to fall asleep in church
and he has found the remedy for this
unfortunate fact. "a glaring light fe-
fore the eyes is sure to produce drow-
siness," Mr.. Eyre reasoned. "Men with
bald heads and negligible eyebrows
are less protected from glazing lights
than those blessed with abundant hair.
Women who wear hats that shade
their eyes have little difficulty keeping
awake. A little care in placing lights
in a church will have all the differ
ence in the orld."-Exchange.
