LEXINGTON TENNESSEE. FRIDAY, MARCH n, 1911
The Third
Man Named
Charles II King, of Jack
son, Becomes a Mem
ber of the State Board
Elections.

The selection of Mr.. Charles
a. King, Of Jackson, to fill the
vacant third place on the State
Board of Elections, came as a
surprise to this paper. Our
ability to, absorb cannot keep
pace ! with political "conver-
sions" of the day-henca We
were unprepared for the infor-
nation that Charlie King is
credited with being a Regular"
Democrat. Had we been sent
to Jackson to select an indepen-
dent Democrat, warp and
woof," there would have been a
strong chance of picking Charlie
King. Had the choosing been
our own to do, and the disposi-
tion to tote fair" under the
law, We should have named Col.
Robert S. Fletcher, of Jackson,
or Tom Morris, of Camden. How
ever Mr.. King is an honest man,
a believer in fair elections and
through his administration on
State election board, the best
purpose ought to be served, for
when he accepted the appoint.
ment he made a statement which
ought to have the endorsement
of every man in the state, regu-
lar and independent. Here are
Mr.. Kings words:
mo man or party should de-
sire to obtain. or retain, political
power in Tennessee unless it be
by the will of a majority of the
qualified voters of the state, ex-
pressed freely and without in
timidation or restraint. When
that will is honestly recorded,
the people will be satisfied, but
if intimidation and unfair meth
DDS are resorted to, there will
continue to be unrest and dis
satisfaction among the people. !"

Cigarettes.

Here is what a cigarette has to
say and it is true: II am not
much of a mathematician, but |
can add to q youths nervous
troubles, | can .su bstract from his
physical energy, | can multiply
his aches and pains, divide
his ment al powers, l can take in
terest from his work and dis
count his chances for success.
Mr.. Hartman, the railroad
king, in speaking of the evils of
cigarettes, said: "Oigarettes are
unsafe. | wonld as soon think
Of getting my employees out of
the insane asylums as 20 employ
cigarette users"
Cigarettes have led more boys
on the downward road than whis,
key because the cigarette usually
leads and as q rule whiskey fol
lows--then comes all kinds OF
folly, vice and crime. Parents
be careful! The smoking Of one
cigarette by your boy when he
is small may be the turning point
inhis life. Macon County News

you place upon the action taken

The proper construction of the

independent democrats, but it
simply called conventions of the
Independent democrats of the
state to take such action as they
may deem advisable in regard to

Church Loses.
Supreme Court Decides
That the Vanderbilt
Board of Trust is Self
Perpetuating Subject to
Ratification of General
Conference.

A long drawn out lawsuit, once
won by the Bishops of the South
ern Methodist church, when tried
before Chancellor Allison, of
Davidson county, was ended last
Saturday by unanimous decision
Of the Supreme Court of Tennes
see.
The decisions result will be
that the Board of Trust, of Van
derbilt University will have the
right to perpetuate itself elec
tions of members made by it
being subject to ratification of
the General Conference.
The milk 10 the cocoanut" of
the lawsuit has been the offer of
Andrew Carnegie to give Van
der bilt University million dol
lars for a medical college adjunct,
with the understanding that the
University was not under church
control. The million won, and
the Bishops of the church, who
vetoed the Carnegie gift, lost.
1t is not our fight, but we are in
sympathy with the Bishops and
the big majority of the church
membership who stand with the
Bishops.
We'd like to see the Southern
Methodist church have the nerve
to sever every semblance of con-
ncction with Vanderbilt uniyer-
slty.
Of the decision, DR.. II. M. Du-
Bose, a leading preacher of the
Southern Methodist church, the
pastor of an Atlanta church, says
in part-an1 we regret that We
have not the space to giye.1he
whole of Dr.. Du Bose S statement.
"The effect of this decision
will be far reaching on the fiscal
and educational affairs of the
church. The theological school,
which the church HAS for fort y
years maintained at Vanderbilt,
will, no doubt. be early removed

And Harmony.

Most of the representatives in
Congress and both Tennessee
Senators have endorsed the
Presidents appeal for Demo
cratic harmony in Tennessee.
Several of them have given out
statements in which they make
hopeful expressions and attempt
to leave the impression that they
believe all the disturbing issues
have been settled.
Unless Tennessee's Congress
men are near sighted dullards,
who cannot see farther than a
few letters from "dlsinterested"
constituents, their statements
doubtless have been fathered by
their wishes rather than by their
real belief.
1t would be reflection upon
the political sagacity of the ten
Democrats who have won their
way into the national legislative
halls to think they do not under
stand conditions in. their home
state.
There was a time when the
word Of a Congressman had more
weight in moulding public opin.
ion than it does today. There
was a time when big" man
| in Congress said something and
all his constituents baa aaed and
Jumped the little ditch too. But

light when Woodrow Wil
