SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.

The following letter from the Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction
shows that there is truant law in
Tennessee:
"Many inquiries have been received
at this office regarding strict con-
struction of the Compulsory School
Law with reference to the school age.
In order that we might have definite
information on this point, l addressed
letter to the Attorney General Of
the State asking his opinion upon Sec
ton |. Chapter Of the Acts of 1913.
I give you below his statement of my
inquiry and his reply thereto:
(From letter of Attorney GeneraD
lyon say, Suppose a child is eight
wears old on Jan. l., 1908. He will
therefore become IA years old Jan. I,
1914 Does the law mean that he can
be compelled to go to school after Jan
nary tst, 1914 Some lawyers take the
positiou taat he cannot be compelled
to 90 to school nuiiDg his fourteenth
wear, or nfter be is 10 years of age
wouli like to have a ruling from you
on this point.
''Tbe act provides that every parent,
guardian or other person in the State
Of Tennessee, having charge or con-
troll of amy child betw the ages of
eight ard fourteen years, inclusive,
shall cause such child to be enrolled
in an attend some school, public, pri-
vats or rnrochial, for eighty consecu-
tive days in length, for the full term
in each year in the county or city in
which the child may reside.
ut is my opinion that the words
ssbetween the ages Of eight and four
teen years in,lusive, embrace the
entire period of the child's eight and
fourteen years. To make my meaning
clear. I do not believe that parent
,hould be compelled to force child
into school at any time until he reach
ca his eighth birthday. | believe then
that the parent can be required under
this Act to keep the child in school
Until it reaches its fifteenth birthday,
or during the entire time when 1t
reaches eight years of age and while it
is fourteen years of age. 1 am led to
this conclusion by the fact that the
word ssinclusive" follows the other
words above quoted. This indicates
10 me that ID was the purpose of the
legislature to iequire the child's at
tendance In school during both its
eighth and fourteenth wears. This idea
is strengthened BY the second proviso
TO this Section, which is as follows;
provided further. that any parent
or other person having
Charge or control of any child between
the ages of IA and 16 years who is not
actively. regularly or lawfully engag-

pointing all the strong, original Pattsr-
son leaders for whom he can land Fed
eral positions Quite string of them
have already been hooked in this way.
Many of them are men who have cursed
Lea in season and out of season for five
years, but, as was said before, political
bed fellows in Tennessee are sometimes
a strangely assorted lot.
Preliminary Moves.
The first moves for the campaign OF
1914 are already being made. Senator
Lea, through his paper, is advocating
harmony" just as he did two years
ago, but there is evidently less response
from Independent Democrats now than
then, and there was not much then.
There was enough, though, to cost heay-
lily in the legislative fight. One of the
expedients fallen upon this time is TO
dangle the govenorship before The eyes
of various Independent Democrats. Even
if thls fails to deceive the men so mem
toned, as it probably will, it is hoped
that it will demoralize their friends.
1t is al foregone conclusion that the
Regulars will control the next state con-
vention, and will name the candidate and
make the platform of their own choice.
What that platform will be nobody
knows. Whether it win omit mention OF
prohibition and law enforcement, reiter-
ate the declaration Of 1912 in favor Of
high license and segregation in the large
cities, or come out squarcly for the
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1914-01-08

slider just what effect national politics
will have in determining their course
in Tennessee next year:
Senator Lea, the senior United States
senator, is endeavoring to- lay grounds
for his reelection to the senate three
years from now. TO accomplish this
purpose he is endeavoring to get control
of the state Democratic organization,
and to nominate man for governor
who, if elected, will put the state ad-
ministration behind Lea for a second
senatorial term. This gubernatorial ally
of Senator LEAFS would then doubtless
be a candidate for the senate against
Senator Shields four years later.
Senator Shields naturally stands coun-
ter to this entire program of Senator
Lea. He does not propose to permit
Senator Lea to dominate the state Dem
ocratic organization next year. In this
purpose Senator Shields is backed by al
most all the regular Democrats of the
state, who now look to him for leader
ship.
A Waiting Game.
Standing to one side for the present is
Gov. Patterson, with no visible alliance
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1914-01-08

hardly be very attractive to Independ-
ents hereafter The control of the leg
islature, through harmony or otherwise,
is the most important point with the
Regulars. 1t will enable them to do
what they please with the election law
which allows Independents representa-
ton on the county boards, and, regard
less of their platform declarations, will
open up the way for modification of the
temperance laws.
Supreme Court Election.
There is a supreme justice to be elect
ed in August to succeed Judge Sam c.
Williams, who was appointed by Gov.
Hooper to succeed Judge Shields. This
will be one of the first contests to at
tract attention in 1914. Judge Williams
has made splendid impression on the
bar and the people, and will doubtless be
a candidate for reelection. He is an In
dependent Democrat, born and reared in
West Tennessee, but now resident in
East Tennessee. The Regulars will mona
mate Robert Burrow, of Bristol, unless
their present plans are changed.
In the meantime, Gov. Hooper has
given no public indication of his own
intentions. 1t is generally believed, how
ever, that he will be a candidate for re-
election. Both Republicans and indie
pendent Democrats seem to be united
in this demand for his candidacy. They
are not only satisfied with his record.
but they consider him the only mau
with whom they can certainly win. The
thinking men among the law enforce
ment element of both parties are keenly
alive to the danger that the whisky trust
would reap advantage from the disin-
tegration of the Fusion forces. They do
not intend that the half-finished work OF
law enforcement shall be thrust aside to
make room for men to scramble and
fight for prestige, power and patronage
in Federal politics.
Sequachee Valley news. (Sequachee [Sequatchie], Tenn.) 1896-1952, 1914-01-08

with either Lea or Shields, but with
very considerable following among the
people. While Patterson is not now an
avowed candidate for anything, there can
be no question but that he is pros
pective candidate for the senate to sue
coed Senator Lea. He will probably con-
tent himself with lecturing for his an
cient enemy, the Anti-Saloon League, for
a season, but he will dip into the polit
zeal duck pond at the psychological mo-
ment.
Gov. Hooper's attitude and ambitions
apparently differ very widely from those
of each of the other three men. Hooper
has vigorously opposed the mixing of ma
tional politics with state politics ever
since he has been governor. In this re-
gard, he has pursued the same course un-
der the Wilson administration that he
did under the Taft administration. His
insistence that state issues shall>not be
sacrificed for national politics has made
his position somewhat antagonistic to
Lea, Shields and Patterson, all. Hooper
seems to be willing to let these gentle
men fight to their hearts content about
the senatorships, if they will only be
careful not to lay hands on the matters
in the state government in which he is
interested. In this position he has SO
far been sustained by both Republicans
and Independents.
Strange Bed Fellows.
This situation has served to sharpen
the edge of the old adage that politics
makes strange bed fellows" When Pat
terson made his first race for governor,
Lea won his nomination for him by
strong-arm methods in a most turbulent
convention. After Patterson became gov
ernor, he and Lea soon became deadly
enemies; just why, the public never
knew. LEAFS friends always insisted
that it was because Patterson so sig
nally failed to make good as a reformer.
Patterson's friends said it was because
Lea failed in his alleged efforts to DOM

convention will, as usual, be dominated
by the big delegations from the cities,
and while they may write law en-

they will sincerely advocate law enforce

The next legislature is one of the
crucial points in the fight. The Regu-

control it. To this end Independent
Democrats will be invited to support
Regulars for the sake of harmony, and
because the Regular says that he is for
the things he has fought against for
four years. Having lost the Legislature

FOUR CORNERS TO
TENNESSEEPOL|TICS
Interesting Situation in the
State Preceding Battle of
1914-HOOper, Shields,
Lee and Patterson.

There are four corners to Tennessee
politics just now. Hooper, Lea, Shields
and Patterson each occupies a corner
But, while there are four corners,
there are only two sides to the fight.
These are the Prohibition and Law En-
forcement side and the Anti-Prohibition
and Ant-Law Enforcement side.
Among the four men named there has
been quite a deal of maneuvering and
shifting of position, nearly all of it
traceable to the intermingling of ma
tional politics with state issues. just
now, before the battle of 1914 opens, it
is interesting to size up the positions of
the four leaders in their four corners, to
discuss their personalities, and to con-
