Gov. Hooper reached Knoxville from
Newport to meet with the members
Of the Southern Appalachian Coal OPP
orators association and several min
ers who have been especially invited,
to discuss the convict labor question,
particularly as it applies to the coal
mining industry. The governor also
made a reply to statements that have
appeared in the Chattanooga press rel
alive to the bringing of nuisance bills
in Hamilton county. He said:
1.-THE effort to give these suits any
political significance, state or local,
is far-fetched. They are simply part
of the program l have been pursuing
all over the state. l have employed
special counsel to represent the state
In the bringing of these suits In Mem
phis, Nashville and Chattanooga, and
will employ counsel elsewhere, II 1t
appears at any time to be essential to
the enforcement of the law against the
saloons. In Memphis the states spe-
cial counsel is cooperating with the
local attorney-general; in Chattanoo-
ga and Nashville the states counsel
have been assisting the attorney-gen-
eral Of the state.
1.-THE fact that the suits In Chatta-
nooga were not filed until week ago
has no significance. The states law
yers were employed there several
weeks ago, but could not institute
suits until the necessary evidence was
in hand. Nobody in charge of either
the state or Hamilton county cam
paign was consulted as to the bring
ing Of suits.
81 am going to continue the use of
the nuisance law in this way for all
1t is worth. There are fewer open
saloons in Tennessee today than ever
before.
"The main thing the people now
need to supplement the nuisance law
is the proper authority lodged in the
chief executive to compel municipal
officials to observe and enforce the
four-mile-law. In the four cities of the
state the police systems are costing
the people nearly three-quarters of a
million dollars per year, but they are
not lifting their hands for the enforce
ment of the law against saloons"

ing that of their forefathers as a
| model,
Some of the differences between
/ the constitutions of the United States
and the Confederate States We're
quite material, while others consist
ed more of form than substance, and
some of them were mere ,declara-
tions of doctrines in the new that
were implied by the old; inserted to
prevent such troubles as had arisen
| in the administration of the former
government.
In. the federal constitution the
principle of taxation for public pur-
poses only was plainly implied.
But in the Confederate constitution
it was expressly recognized and es-
tablished by provisions prohibiting
the grant of bounties from the treas
ury and the imposition of duties on
| imports to promote or foster any
branch of industry, thus providing
against the selfish use OF the taxing
power for sectional, class and per-
Sonal fayoritism, which under the
| federal government resulted in ar
| inequitable distribution of wealth
and population, and later on in polit-
! zeal and commercial corruption al
most to the stage of putrifaction and
| disintegratiOn.
In the federal constitution the pro-
vision for its amendment requires
| two-thifds of both houses of con-
gress to propose amendments or on
! the application of two-thirds of the
legislatures of the states to call a
convention for proposing amend
ments, and their ratification by legis-
latures or conventions of three
| fourths of the states is necessary to
make them parts thereof.
Our Confederate forefathers
adopted a provision on this subject
| in their constitution under which any
three states could have called a con-
vention and proposed amendments
and a majority of the states could
have submitted and the legislatures
or conventions of two-thirds of the
states could have ratified and made
them parts of the Confederate con-
stitution. Under such a provision
amendments to our federal cOnsti-
tuition for the election of senators by
popular vote and for the taxation OF
incomes would probably have been
! sooner submitted and adopted. The
original constitution vested the pow
err of Impeachment in the federal
house of Representatives alone. The
| Confederate constitution vested the
power of Impeachment in the Con-
| federate house of representatives and
! also in the two branches of the state
: legislatures as to judicial and other
Confederate officers, who resided and
acted solely within the limits of the
states particularly concerned, thus
giving the people oppressed or other
wise aggrieved the power to initiate
proceedings for their protection and
relief. Other beneficial changes
made by our Confederate fOrefatherS
were as follows: Expenditures fol-
| improvements in navigation were
| left to the states to be particularly
benefited, and this more equitable
plan would have prevented much
waste and graft. The president oil
the Confederacy had the power tC
approve and disapprove different
appropriations in the same bill, and
thus to protect the people from dis

to be found in those provisions of the
Confederate constitution which do
not exist in the constitution of the
United States. Every downward re-
vision of he tariff is a step in the
direction of free trade as provided
for in the constitution of the Con-
federate states. OF course our pres
ent vision of the ''new freedom does
not now contemplate free trade even
as final destination, because we are
too much enslaved by man-made re-
strictions and habitual obedience
thereto to even aspire to the laws of
free trade, which are but the laws
of God for all trade among all men
and all nations.
| The new nationalist led by Mr..
Roosevelt and constituting the larger
wing of the national republican party
denounce provisions of the federal
| constitution as the shackles of new
slavery, and they seem inclined to
amend that sacred instrument by Vio-
| lence in the desired particulars be-
cause its own established means of
amendment are not sufficiently avail
able, and the criticism of Mr. Carlyle
| that a written constitution does not
march" so as to keep up with the
progress. of civilization does seem
somewhat applicable.
The change needed is that progress

already referred to, so as to keep the
supreme law of the land in harmony
with and subservient to the changed
and changing conditions of expand
ing greatness, growing diversity and
rapid progress. The national demOc-
racy which was triumphant in the
last national election declared in its
platform in favor of one presidential
term of six years, as provided in the
! Confederate states constitution, and
this proposed amendment received
the technical endorsement at least OF
a plurality vote in nearly every state
in the union.
Without going further into par
ticulars it appears that the people Of
the United States in their recent po'
litical awakening are at last d1mlS
seeing the light of wisdom which oul
| Confederate forefathers saw in Its
fullness and cIearness over hall
century ago when they devised anc
adopted their constitution. There Ii
now, however, a significant clamol
for one revolutionary reform
which our Confederate foremother:
never desired, namely, that sough
by the unfeminine feminist move
ment of today. They recognized the
God of Nations in their constitution
and the God of Revelation and O
Nature in their religion. They re
lied upon His providence and acqui
esced in His DEGREES. The men o
the Old South recognized the womeI
of the Old South in some respects a.
their superiors, in other respects a
their interiors, and altogether a
their equals, and the women of thu
Old South had the same view. lden
tity of pursuit and privilege or o
sphere were not regarded by elthe
sex as essential to or productive o
equality. A man might be woman

the equals of the manifest men. We
are told by those who approve and
by some who condemn that feminism
is surely coming. Even should this
prove to be true it will never come
to stay, because it will not be reform
but deformity. Against it there will
be another Southern rebellion, a So
cial and moral rebellion, that will.
never be crushed or quelled.
AS already shown, the Old South
in the sixties forecast for the union
the reforms it was to accomplish in
many of the years that were to en-
sue, and the undying spirit of the
Old South will stir the manhood and
womanhood of the New South to
protect or rescue itself and this great
nation from this the direst calamity
which they have ever been threat
ened with.
OF all the soldiery the world has
produced the Confederate soldier was
the highest type, the supreme model.
He was no hireling fighting for pay;
no adventurer seeking the spoils Of
conquest; no part of vast machine
operated by arbitrary power; no
slave that had been drilled into blind
obedience. He was no self-righteous
fanatic mistaking his hatred for some
men as love for other men, and in
! the name of God cursing his country
with fratricidal war. But he was a
citizen soldier fighting on his motion
and responsibility, from his own con-
viction of right and duty, for the pro-
lection of his home, and for the in
| IofNnnHAnnn of hiC country
That independence he failed to
achieve, but he neither fought or
died in vain. The great underlying
cause for which he was a willing
sacrifice still lives and was mot
born to die the doctrine that all
men shall have the largest liberty
consistent with the public welfare
and shall be subject to no more pub
lie authority than is necessary to that
end. Of this cause the South is now
the leading sectional champion in the
United States. But it is no New
South, no dishonored or servile
South, but the same Old South; the
South of Jefferson, Madison and
MARSHALL; of Washington, Marion
and Sumter; of Calhoun, Yancey and
Toombs; of Stonewall Jackson, AL
bert Sydney Johnston and Thomas
r. R. Cobb.
The South of daring and bleeding
and dying,
Of loving and suffering and crying
The South of poetry and song and
story,
Of lore and legend and glory;
The crucified South of the yesterday
of sorrow;
The rising South of the today of glee
The risen South of the everlasting
tomorrow,
The South of Davis and Lee.

MIR. GUERRY'S ADDRESS.
The address delivered by Mr.. Guer-
ry was as follows:
Ladies of the Memorial Associa-
ton. Confederate Veterans, Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We hear and read much about the
New South. | shall say something
today about the Old South.
There are usually incidental cues
tons, but the eternal and controlling
issue among mankind is that be-
tween those who seek more power
on the one hand and those who seek
more liberty on the other. Inc
function of political power is the pro-
lection and restraint OF individual
freedom. but the tendency of all hui
man authority, as well as all human
liberty, is towards enlargement and
abuse. Organized political power
unrestrained becomes organized des-
potism; while freedom unrestralned
becomes individual license or mon
despotism.
The great desideratum is an equl-
librium between these two tenden-
cies, so that they may check and
control each other and protect them
selves. The establishment and main
tenance of this equilibrium would
ensure the perfection of human gov
eminent. This was the high endeav-
or of our revolutionary forefathers
in the formation of our federal gov
eminent. They made no pretense OF
giving men any rights, but sought
only to secure to them the rights
that God had given them, and insplr-
ed by their conceptions OF freedom
and equality they denied the divine
rights of kings and founded our con-
stitutional government on the nat
ural rights of men.
But because of African slavery,
for which the whole country was re-
sponsible, and conflicting sectional
interests and political interpretations
fraternal war ensued. Which side
was right and which wrong are
questions | shall not discuss.
But | here and now declare that

brave and faithful women who main
tanned it, had for their purpose eth
er the destruction or Impairment OF
the American theory of popular gov
eminent.
The people of the South were more
content than those of the North with
the terms of the constitution. They
condemned and resented what they
conceived to be infractions of the
sacred instrument. They demanded
not that it be destroyed, but preserv-
ed, respected and enforced, and when
they instituted a government for
themselves they disappointed the
hopes and disproved the prophecies
of their enemies. They established
no oligarchy, no aristocracy, no des-
potism; they made no effort to over
throw the old government, but leav-
ing it with their Northern brethren
they provided one for themselves, us

honest and improvident expenditures.
A two-thirds vote of the house and
senate-the latter voting by states
was necessary to admit new states,
making it more difficult to admit
them wrongfully and for partisan
purposes. The power of the presi-
dent to remove officials was limited
to those of his cabinet or in diplo-
matte service, and thus was created
the germ of civil service reform that
has since been adopted and perfected
with so much profit by the federal
government The presidents term
was six years, but he could be elected
to serve one term only, and thus mad
more reason to serve ms country ana
less to serve himself.
While property in slaves, as exist
ing, was recognized and guaranteed,
Just as it was under the constitution
of the United States, the further I'M
portation Of Africans for slavery was
absolutely forbidden, while under the
constitution of the United States
their further importation was still
permissible by congress. Negro slav-
cry thus limited was not to be abol-
| ished, to be succeeded by the slavery
of white men. women and children
now existing in the United States.
There were other differences more
or less material. But enough has
been stated to clearly show the spirit
| that animated and the wisdom that
guided the Old South in the asser-
ton of independence and the forma-
| ton of a new union.

ALLIED AIRMEN
USING CAUTION

Paris. France, Dec. 4.-Aeronauts in
the battle zone in France are compelled
to keen to a considerable height in con-
sequence of the accuracy of the fire
from below. The military authorities
have ordered them not to run any
greater risks than are necessary
since each airman is valuable asset
whose loss would be almost calamity
to the army to which he is attached
Surveillance over the territory in
which the fighting is under way be-
comes more strict every week. No one,
whether soldier or civilian, is permitted
to pass the sentinels at the entrance to
or exit from villages and towns with
out a permit stamped by the military
authorities At every grade crossing,
sentries are posted with orders Of the
most stringent kind to examine the
papers Of every person who attempts
to pass. Any one who approaches rap
idly is met with leYeled bayonet at the
muzzle of a loaded rifle.
Supply Conveys Line Roads.
As the actual fighting lines near
the Belgian frontier ave approached,
many of the roads are lined with gil
gantic conveys of supplies for the vari-
Gus brigades, divisions and army corps,
who constantly are moving to fresh pO-
sitions where the fighting is fiercest
At one village the traveller is stopped
by a French sentry; at the next by
Belgian, and perhaps a mile on by
British soldier. All appear to be work
ing with absolute harmony.
