to contemplate spending $3.50, 600, 00e

Golfers Weekly.
There are times in the affairs Of gov
ernment when no man considers the
cost of war.
If the American people in 1861 had
known Of the enormous cost Of life and
money the Civil War would entail, the
contemplation Of the appalling bigness
OF the struggle and the waste would not
have halted the collision for a moment.
The blowing up of the Maine was the
first roar of the hostilities between the
United States and Spain.
The question of Intervention in Mex
leo will not be settled upon the cost,
but upon our duty.
1t begins to look as il there is way
out, but that way is tortuous and un-
certain.
II we do go to war with Mexico the
appalling cost will not be in dollars and
cents, but in pension list which will
run for three-quarters OF a century.
1t is more than so years since Vicks-
burg and Chickamauga. 1t is 40 years
since Appomattox. But the pension
roll for veterans and their families goes
on into higher figures. Mem

Appeal for Pure English.


London, Jan. "a. Robert Bridges
the poet laureate, makes an appeal il
the Teachers World for apurer kings
English.
He condemns the borrowing OF words
from other languages, which, be says,
are not spelled and pronounced as En-
glish and the sprinkling Of English prose
with italicized French words.
Believing that language is, Or should
be, democratic, both 10 character and
origin, = observed Dir. Bridges, and
that its best word makers are the un-
educated and not the educated classes,
we should prefer vivid popular terms to
the artificial creations Of scientists.
We shall often DO better by inqulr-
ing, for instance, not what name, the
aventor gave to his new machine, but
what it il called by the workmen who
handle it, and in adopting their home
spun terms and giving them literary
currency we shall help to preserve the
living and popular character Of our
speech.

A large majority OF the voters of this
county know the pledges / made tc

that there was not a single pledge thai

ments in the press Of the county that ]
did not keep to the letter.
The platform on which / propose to
make this race now is the same as that
on which made the race before the
Democratic primary two years ago.
favor the strict enforcement Of the
Statewide Prohibition laws as they were
passed in 1909 and as they have been
amended in the recent sessions of the
Legislature.
| favor the enactment of law that
will effectually prevent the breaking Of
quorum OF the Legislature, regardless
Of which faction or party may be in
power. If / go to the Legislature as
your representative, it will be to fight
for the principles / advocate or believe

or set of politicians.
As stated in my former campaign,
am a Democrat and believe in Demo-
cratic supremacy in Tennessee. / am
against the control of the affairs Of this
State by the Republican party in any
form or under any pretext.
Now, my record In the last Legisla-
ture is an open book. Those Of you
who approve Of that record, l shall be
very glad to have your support. Those
of you who do not approve, of course,
can not expect to be very enthusiastic
in your support Of me for reelection.
In casting every vote that / made / did

Now, leave the matter with you and

my record in the last session by send
ing me back to serve and represent you
