MIGHTY EAp POLICY.

upon which the campaigns 81 49,
and 1912 we're conducted They IL

Lasnt
Now admitting for the sake q AZ.
gument that this Is true gtatemen,
Of conditions in the state, then we
ask In all seriousness, are Mt the
governors organs making serious,
probably fatal mistake in attacking,
rsylifng and trying 10 drive from their
ranks the men who contributed the
bulk Of the funds and did the major
part Of the work incident TO the cam
paigns OF two and four years ago?
Certainly II the regulars" are just
as thy were In the past contests. the
forces Of good government have no
votes TO spare. In two great con-
tests, those Of 1910 and 1912, although
the governor was elected, the legis-
iatures were lost and hegiras and con-
fusion and discord and extravaganza
followed. DO the organs want q rep
etiti0n OF those scenes7
Gov. Hooper has been unable TO
save the legislature In either OF his
campaigns. The governors organs
attribute the loss Of the Legislature In
1872 To the Lea-MiltonITigrstet al
harmony movement; possibly, but
how about the contest OF 1910 when
ali Of these gentlemen supported
Hooper? There were actually more
independent democratic senators
by three elected during the "har-
rnony" year than were chosen In
1910 And two years ago Luke Lea,
Ike Tigret, Geo. Milton, Sam Young
and others. although voting for Nc
hillin, contributed large sums TO the
election OF independents TO the legis-
iature. There were hundreds of
democrats all over the state who
voted for McMillin, but supported
Independent democrats for the legig-
iature. That was the case in Maury
county. Frankly we say now TO the
organs, that II the old fights must be
made again on the same lines OF 1910
and 1912 we do not want 10 drive
from our ranks men like Col John
w. Fry who gave substantial help 10
the independent legislative ticket al
though voting for the democratic
gnbernatorial nominees. 1t Ia poor
policy. Lea and Milton and Young
and Tigret and others rendered us
valuable aid In 1912 and then we fall
cd TO elect legislative majority In |,
either house. Now in all candor win |
we be any better Off without them In |
another fight? And after all did not |
the forces Of good government In the
only legislature that we have con-
trolled since this war began, that OF |
1909, show the people Of Tennessee |
that the legislative department was |
much more important and valuable
TO the cause than the executive de- |
partment!

Montrose and Delta demand to be
known as intermediate points, and
not branch line points, on the ground
that they are entitled to the same
rates as Grand Junction. The basis
for this contention will be that they
are on the main line of the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad.
The defendant carriers have not
yet fled their answers, but they will
probably set up the contention that
as branch line points Montrose and
Delta are not entitled to the Grand
Junction rates. AT present those towns
are forced to pay high local rate
from this city on all their incoming

Soon after the leaves of the cur

worm with small black spots upon
its body. Either of these pests is
very easily controlled by treating the
bushes with white Hellebore in water
in the proportion of one ounce to three
gallons or water. The white Helle-
bore may be put in cheesecloth bag
and busted over the leaves with
equally good effect. In either case
the application is best made toward

Freight Rate Hearing

The freight rate hearing, complaint
of Delta and Montrose county ship
pers, will come before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at Colorado
Springs on July 18th, so Independent
is informed, and it is to be expected
that favorable results to these two
counties will ensue.
That our shippers have been the
victims of unjust discrimination to the
extent of downright robbery for long
period of years, there appears to be
no question. Just how far-reaching
our results may be remains to be seen.

have not done so, should see that their
real causes for grievance are fully set
forth, and not in a manner that some

MAYOR RIDDLE REPUD-
lated.

The storm of protest aroused by
the statements attributed to Mayor
Riddle, of Atlantic City, to the eff
feet that he advocates continental
Sunday" and would like to see the
popular watering place become a
sort of American Monte Carlo, is
proof of the inherent decency of
business.
Bankers, real estate men, hotel
proprietors, business men who have
made their fortunes there, repudi-
ate Mayor Riddle and declare that
they have not the slightest SYM
pathy with the ideas ascribed TO him.
They realize that the most valuable
patronage Atlantic City enjoys is
that of its respectable element; also,
that this element dominates both in
numbers and in wealth.
Atlantic City's remarkable pros
perity has not been built up by its
grill rooms and cafes. The cot
tagers of Chelsea, Ventnor, and
Longport and the patrons of the
hotels in the city proper do not go
to Atlantic City to spend their money
riotously in dissipation. The charm
Of Atlantic City that appeals most
strongly to most patrons is the fact
that there one can enjoy the bracing
atmosphere and outdoor recreation
of the seashore and yet have the
comforts and conveniences of the
city.
Atlantic City's business men know
far too well on what side their bread
is buttered ever to throw the town
wide open and make a slittcring
gambling hell out of what is at pres
cnt big and stirring, but on the
whole, a very law-abiding commun-
ity intent on seeking rational pleas
ures.
