Mr. Geo. Dahnke. OF the Dahnke-
Walker Milling Co., this city, who has
been working in the interest OF hog
cholera eradication for some time, has
finally reached Congress and an appro-
priation has been made for steps along
that line. Tennessee has been allowed
$25, 900, and this fund is to be allotted
to one Of the counties where the best re-
suits can be obtained. The selection
lays between Maury and one or two
other counties besides Obion County,
and the chances for Obion are very good
indeed. Obion County farmers have lost
hundreds of thousands in hog cholera,
and its probable that the test cannot be
made in better territorty than Obion.
Plans for this work have been mapped
out, including quarantine, ETC., and all
these matters we're discussed and APP
proved by the County Court last Mon
day.

the entire speech Mr.. Naylor could
hardly object. On the single PROPOSE
ton We agree that the secret Of any
young mans success lies at his own
door and not entirely to his school,
whether it be a high school or UNIVERSE
". The application DR.. Thompson
makes could hardly cover the case IN a
general way. But we do believe men
can succeed from the high school with
out q university education. Some men,
who are not able TO attend university,
prepare themselves at home. There are
and have been exceptional cases where
the self educated man was better pre-
pared for lifework than his more fortu-
nate brother. At the present time the
high school affords a liberal education,
a good foundation indeed for the ac-
OF greater things, and
much can be and has been ae-
quired outside of the university. We
have good reason to believe that some
Of our high schools afford more thor
ough and comprehensive curriculum
than even many OF the female schools,
which are supposed to be universities
for young women. Mr.. Thompson was
little over Jealous for the
high school interests, and that part OF
bis speech, il accepted alone, might
have been misleading. But later on
be spoke OF the young man, whose
took him not only to his own
but to the universities of
Europe, and how such preparation fitted |
him for much greater fields Of useful
ness than his colleagues who were salts
led with simply getting through col
eye. We did not produce the speech

Ir. Thompson is acknowledged to be a
,ood man in his position. He is GER
ainly striving to elevate the educational
tandards Of Tennessee, and his work

The Sims bill for the repeal OF the
toll exemption provision OF the Panama
Canal act was passed in the House last
week by a vote 247 to 161. Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood fought
the bill. On the whole the House or
ganization opposed the President in this
measure and fought it with bitter de-
termination, but Congress refused the
wisdom Of its leaders and voted with
the President. They voted undoubtedly
as their consciences prompted them. 1t
was an organization defeat. just why
American coastwise vessels should be
exempted from the tolls that are assessed
to the public carriers we do understand.
1t would be like exempting certain
farmers from paying toll over a pike.
The custom years ago was to build pixies
and pay for them afterwards 10 the col
lection OF tolls. To exempt private
shipping interests from canal tolls would
be the same thing, whether they are
American or European. Just as well
exempt certain citizens from taxation
for no other reason at all except that
they are in competition with foreign
business. This exemption was nothing
more nor less than ship subsidy, and
its enactment would be nothing more
nor less than favoritism aud class legis-
lation, and above all breach Of faith
with the world powers. It would be
narrow-minded selfish piece OF business.

The vote in the House for the repeal
Of Panama Canal tolls exemption is a
victory for American honor and Demo-
cratic principle. 1t is notice served by
our representative branch Of Govern
ment that this Republic does not petit
fog or bubble in the Interpretation Of
its international obligations, and that it
has not forsaken its time-cherished
policy OF the equality Of the seas; while
it is reassertion, by those in position
to speak for the Democratic party, of
that party's lifelong opposition to sub
sidy. 1t is a splendid vindication OF our
national integrity and courage, and a
splendid vindication Of a historic political
party's fidelity to a fundamental tenet
OF its creed which in these later times
has been persistently assailed by such

ESQ. A. Wilson, Of Obion, was in the

Wilson is one Of the enterprising citizens
Of that city and informs us that three
construction crews are located there with
headquarters in the work Of double track
ing the /, 9. Railroad. The work in
cludes considerable change in trackage.
Much of the old tracks will be leveled
and Strengthened. The Polk hill, Mr..
Wilson tells us, will be transferred to
the bottoms between Obion and Trimble,
and the railroad, when completed, will
have practically new road bed Many
other roads should be double tracked in
this country, and il il takes change in
the freight rates to do this we would
fayorsit, but the rates should also be re-
vised as well as changed SO as to give
the intermediate points better rates.
The Mobile 4 Ohio Railroad should be
double tracked. II is certainly needed.
