Mr.. Mellen denied spending four

son asks consideration on no other
ground than that Of merit.
His administration is replete With
constructive work and educational
progress The reports OF the county
superintendent show:
THAT higher standards for teach
ers haye been achieved, at the same
time the term Of all certificates has
been heightened. and certificates
are made renewable for additional
term without examination, thus Civ
ing the professional first grade
teacher certificate good for term
Of eight years.
That accredited high schools have
increased more than 500 PEI cent.
He has arrayed himself without
fear or favor on whatyhe believed to
be the right side of every question
that has been presented to him.
He was Investigated by the legis-
Iature and given clean bill of
health.
Before he had been in office SIX
months he established complete
civil service In the state schools by
which no teacher can receive an ap-
pointment except through the rec
ommendafion of the president and
by whica 70 teacher may be dis
charged except for cguse.
Immediately after the decision OF
the Supreme Court denying the
right of the state, county and school
districts to levy "a tax against In
dian lands in the eastern part of the
state. Mr.. Wilson took up with the
Oklahoma delegation in Congress
the question of securing an aDprop-
Ration from Congress to meet the
deficit in revenue caused by this de-
cision. AS result liberal appro
piiations have been made to aid
these schools.
He has encouraged in every way
within his power the phenomenal
growth Of the country schools. He
has ever been an ardent advocate
and firm friend of consolidated ru
raj schools and has been instrument

He believes that the greatest hin.

that they are, but they are In the
matter Of free passes as much sim
ned against as they are sinners.
In common with a large majority
of the newspapers of Tennessee The
Herald has for years and does now
accept transportation from the rail-
roads. And it is just as much res
ponsible for this "evil'' If it is an
"evil" as are the railroads. We have
yet to have the first railroad official
in Tennessee hold us up and force
a free pass on U.s." We do not,
however, agree that free pass law
should make an exception of news

INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY.

1t is idle to deny that there is no
analogy between the contest of JUS
tice Williams and the battle in 1910
for the election of free and indie
pendent judiciary. The newspaper
files of that contest and the state
ments of the candidates, notably
Judge Shields, proves that the revo-
luton in 1910 was born in desire to
free the judiciary of Tennessee from
any fractional or party control or DOM
nation. The people so understood
the issue and they acted accordingly
In this contest Judge Williams is
an independent candidate. 1t is true
that he received the endorsement of
an independent democratic conven-
ton, but he did not announce SUBJ
ject to the action Of that convention
or any other convention. He appeal
ed to all the people of Tennessee. He
could just as consistently have re-
ceived the endorsement of the DEM
ocratic convention as he did that of
the republican convention.
1t is charged that because Justice
Williams has received the endorse
ment Of an independent and a repub-
lican convention he becomes a parti-
san or factional candidate. If that is
good logic, how about the situation in
1910? In that contest a great indie
pendent democratic convention en-
dorsed Shields and associates. That
is not all The republican state com

FREE PASS EVIL.

Unquestionably the rree pass
granted by transportation companies
has been grossly abused in Tennees.
see. Too many of them have been
issued to favored classes. 1t is an
evil that calls for attention from the
law making power. But it is idle to
charge the entire evil to the rail
roads. They alone are not to blame
for conditions in this state. Recent
revelations prove that of free passes
granted by the roads last year an
overwhelming number were issued
to public officials Of Tennessee, parti-
cularly to the members of the legis-
lature. Judges also claimed large
number in proportion to the number
of judicial officers in the state.
No one can believe that the rail-
roads held up and forced the men,
bers of the legislature and other Off
Gals to accept the passes for them
selves and their constituents. We
know enough about the legislatures
that Tennessee has had in recent
years to know that this is not the
case. Nineteen twentieths of the
passes issued by the railroads to
legislators are issued upon the direct
application or request of members
of the house and senate. In other
words a large majority of the mem
bers of the legislature demand" the
issuance of passes to themselves,
their families and their friends.
There Is no law in Tennessee to pro-
hibit the issuance of these passes.
Candidly now, Mr.. Reformer, If you
were running railroad and at the
mercy of the average Tennessee
legislature, would you not stand and
deliver upon the demand of that aug
ust assembly? OF course you would.
Then why condemn the railroads and
have no word Of criticism of the
legislators, state officials county Off
cials and judges who demand" free
passes? Is 1t fair?
Frankly we believe that the rail
roads would be better off in Tonnes
see If the provisions Of the interstate
act of 1906 were applied in Tennes-
see and all free transportation, ex-
oept to employees, absolutely inhibit-
ed We do not believe that the rail-
road officials will deny this. In fact
we know prominent railroad attorneys
in Tennessee who have long refused
to oppose the enactment of an anti
pass law. The railroads are not free

mittee met afterward and formally
endorsed them.
Now the only difference between
Judge Williams endorsement and
that of Judge Shields, Neil and asso-
ciates in 1910 is this: The former
was endorsed by an independent dem
ocratic convention nothing like as
large as that of 1910. He was endors-
ed by republican convention instead
of a republican committee. Which
savors most of macine rule or fac
tional domination? A committee en-
dorsement or a convention endorse
ment? Judged by the usual tests
and standards it must be admitted
that Justice Williams, by virtue Of
his endorsements, has stronger
claim upon the people of Tennessee
than had the independent candidates
in 1915.
