see republican Office holder does not
turn loose with much grace. He
thinks any suggestion of putting a
democrat in his place is treason to
the republic and an outrage upon free
institutions.
In this the Tennessee republican
does not differ very much from the
Tennessee democrat. Let any appli-
cant for an office once get the idea
fixed in his mind that you have in
some way prevented him from realiz-
ing his ambition, and no matter how
faithfully you havs served him in the
past, how great his obligations may
be, from that time and henceforth
the back Of his hand is toward you.

lions the people declared for an In

emit candidate for rejection. No one
denies his eminent qualities; no one
questions his splendid legal ability;
no one intimates that he :s not wor-
thy of the Office he seeks, no one will
say that he Is not deserving OF an
endorsement. Then why should he
be beaten? Why should the splendid
record made in 1910 and 1912 be re-
versed?
Judge Williams is democrat. II
he is not a democrat neither is Sen

A SLOW DEBTOR.

Thirty-four years ago James Har-
vey Dennis, Of Tentucky, had con-
tract for improvement work on the
Tennessee river with the federal gov
eminent. A dispute arose between
the government and the contractor
and money due Dennis was withheld.
He subsequently took the claim to
the court of claims. in the mean
time he died and his widow revived
the claim. Many years ago the court
of claims handed down an opinion
holding that the claim was just and
valid. The decisions Of this court
are merely persuasive with the con-
gress, since none OF them are effec-
tive until an appropriation is made.
, After the decision Of the court OF
claims bills were introduced making
AN appropriation. Eight times the
bill passed the house Of representa-
tives, five times the same bill passed
the senate, but at no session Of con-
gress did the same bill pass both
houses and the claim was never paid.
A few days ago, by skilful parlia-
mentary diminishing, the bill was
put through both houses, and the
appropriation of $26,53S became
available. A warrant for the amount
has been sent to the widow Of the
original claimant.
This is not an agreeable recital Of
facts. II this claim was just and
due, and unquestionaby it was, it
should have been paid as soon as
the fact that the government was
liable had been ascertained. If a
private individual or concern should
take thirty-four years to pay just
debt he would be accounted dishonest
and his credit would suffer irrepar-
able injury. Because one cannot
force the government to settle its
just claims is additional reason why
there should be no unnecessary de-
lay. The government should set an
example for promptness and justice
in it's relations with the citizens. We
fail sadly when 1t comes to prompt
and efficient discharge Of our nation
al obligations.

REMARKABLE SPEECH.

That was remarkable and alto
gether unique speech that former
Senator Newell Sanders made the
other night at the Jackson celebra'
ton. Senator Sanders has naive
way of saying things. He is q most
loveable old gentleman and while
usually discreet is sometimes charm
|ingly frank. He very plainly told
his audience that he had never been
a very ardent admirer Of old Hick-
''ory, certainly an unexpected state
ment at banquet to raise funds to
build monument to the hero of New
Orleans. He also added that he
came to the banquet because Hooper
insisted on his doing SO. This was
no doubt absolutely true.
1t was anyway speech very much
out of the ordinary upon such occas-
ions. AS a general rule upon such
occasions all Of the speakers laud the
virtues and hide the faults of their
heroes. They sink any differences
politically that they may have had
with the hero Of the hour. That Old
Hickory had his faults all will admit.
But he was great Tennessean and
Ia great American, He was one OF
the greatest Of all our presidents and
there should be a magnificent memoir
ial erected to his name and memory.
Speeches like those delivered by
Senator Sanders, however, are not
calculated to increase the funds to
be raised for that purpose.

WOMEN AND LIQUOR.

A Chicago dispatch to the Louis
Vile Courier-Journal says:
Fearing that with the added wom-
ans vote Chicago may become dry
the liquor interests of this city have
begun an active fight to have the
coming Legislature repeal the law
which granted women the right to
vote in municipal and township cleo.
tons. Under the new suffrage law
Chicago has the largest voting popu'
lation in the United States and the
liquor men realize that the female
vote, If properly organized, may drive
them out Of business. To prevent
this committees have been appointed
and other steps taken to wage an
active campaign throughout the state
this year before the legislative cleo
tons. 1t will be necessary for the
whisky men to control two-thirds of
the Legislature before the present
law, just declared constitutional by
the Supreme Curt Of the State, can
be- repealed"
II it Is true that woman's suffrage
in Illinois threatens the liquor in
terests we sincerely hope that the
law will not be repealed. This news
item makes about the most powerful
and effective argument for equal
suffrage that we have ever seen in
print. II the good women Of Illinois
should drive the liquor business en-
Itirely out Of that state woman's suff-
rage so far as that commonwealth is
concerned anyway, would be amply
INDICATED. There would be no one
to deny them the right to trial in
other states.
And why should not the women be
Intensely and constitutionally hostile
to the liqur traffic? While very few
|of them, to the honor and credit Of
the sex, use intoxicants at all, they
have been ever since time began and
man fell from his high estate, the
chief sufferers from the liquor habit.
They have been the innocent burden
bearers Of the worlds inebriates.
From time immemorial women have
had their lives wrecked, their hearts
broken and their hopes blasted be-
cause Of mans love of drink.
Mothers and wives and sisters without
number have suffered a million liv.
ing deaths because Of the dumb
Ibrutes of this world. 1t is our earn
est prayer that the good women OF
Illinois will not stop their fight until
they have completely banished the
liquor trafiic from the state. When
they accomplish that great victory
there will be few to deny them the
ballot.

AssAULTING AN EDITOR.

Down at Paris tie other day poll.

accounts the politician, member of
the legislature, sent his announce.
ment to the paper for publication, but
1t was returned with note from the
editor stating that lDder the rules
adopted cash must accompany an

The politician took umbrage at
this note. Because ne was a mem.
Der of the Legislature he felt grossly
outraged that the rules Of a nswspa.
per should stand between him and
the realization OF bis desire for pub
licity. 1t was an offense that he
could not tolerate at all. 1t did not

ed. To say the least he came through
with the notion that there were after
all some things mightier than the
pen.
II the published accounts are true
the assault upon Editor Rison was
wholly unjustifiable. A similar as
sault for the san,s reason would be
indefensible if made upon any other
editor. An editor has a perfect right
to demand cash in advance, mighty
safe rule to enforce with certain i'm
pecunious politicians. Had this poll
tician gone to the bank to borrow
money and been informed that the
bank required endorsements, tho pol
itician would never have thought of
making a personal assault upon the
cashier or president. Even politi-
clans must recognize that editors
have certain rights common to the
rest Of humanity.

ing their wares to the people OF city
and country. 1t is remarkable fact
that a Stranger can come into com
munity, have an article no better,

merchants, put price on It above

mess than the home merchant can dc
in the same length Of time.
No one will deny what we have
said. The stranger who romps over
the county, nine times out Of ten will
sell an inferior article at an exces'
sive price. He gets his money and is
gone. If the goods are not as repre-
sented, il they do not last, II they are
fraudulent, he has his money and
there is no recourse for the purchas'
Of.
How different with the established
merchant right at home whom we all
know. He stands behind the goods
that he sells. He Is in business for
keeps. He has found that If for no
higher considerations, honesty is the
best business policy. He will not de.
ceive his customers for he knows
that it will not pay. He sells relia-
Bile goods, if they are not the custo-
mers return them and he loses both
a sale and a customer. This is not
the case with the stranger.
Again the local merchant sells to
the customer on time. When money
is scarce, while the crops are grow
ing, he will accommodate the buyer.
He does not charge uny more either
for an extension of credit although in
order to do so he must go to the
bank and probably pay eight per cent.
interest on money. No stranger will
do this. Then why give the prefer
ence to the Inherent? Why not stand
by the man who in adversely stands
by us!
Again we know that the home mer-
cant sells for a profit; we are also
sure that the stranger does the same
thing. Otherwise he would not last
very long. He has more expenses
than the merchant and therefore
must have larger profit The mer-
cant's profits all stay at home. He
pays taxes to build roads and schools
and employs teachers and protects
life and property. II he is good
citizen, and most Of the merchants
are. he contributes generously to all
good causes and does his full share
to help with the burdens Of life. The
stranger does nothing Of the kind. He
has no interest In this community
or its people.
Why the people will, in the light
of these facts, all Of which are admit
teddy true, patronize any one in pref
erence to the home merchants, is to
us one of the mysteries of humanity.
1t is to be explained upon the theory

FOLLOWING The FANS

Fight fans who have followed the
game as presented at the Hudson
arena were shown an unusual phase
of it last Friday night, They saw
four bouts of real fighting, and each
in a different style. The first pre-
liminary, in which O'Dowd beat
Foreman, was a fast and furious,
give and take mix between two
lightWeights. The second was a
victory of a clever boxer, Doyle, of
New York, against a one-punch
artist, Soke1. of St. Paul. The semi
wind-up, be- ween two heavyweights,
was a brutal, rough ard tumble af-
fair Of the street fight variety.
There was neither science nor head
work shown. From start TO finish
it was an exhibition of brute endur-
ance, a question Of which fighter
could stand up the longest under a
continuous peter of terrific blows.
Fulton, the Minneapolis cop, who
had won fame in his previous APP
p~earances at Hudson, administered
an awful pounding on Al Palzer's
head, and the Iowan was 2roggy
most of the time. But in spite of
bloody nose and befuddied brain
Palzer kept his gigantic fists swing
ing sledge hammer blows and final
ly one of these landed just right
and Fulton slept peacefully on the
mat while Duffy counted ten. In
the wind.up, Tommy Gibbons of
ST. Paul gave Buck Grouse of Pitts
burg such a scientific and thorough
beating that the latter's seconds
stopped the fight by throwing the
sponge into the ring. Grouse show
ed wonderful gameness by continu-
ing the fight after being hoored for
the count of nine five times. Indeed,
the fans saw real fighting in every
bout on the card. There was no
taking or "stalling." Every fighter
was out with an honest and earnest
desire TO win, and the victories were
not easy in any case. Enthusiasm
ran high. The fans were delight
ed"
