SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
 FIRE INSURANCE LAW


 The right of the state to regulate Insurance rates was settled once for all in Washington yesterday by the su- preme court upho1ding as constitution- al the Kansas fire insurance law of 1909. Chief Justice White and Jus tices Yandevanter and Lamar dissent ed, holding insurance was a private contract with which the stale had no right to interfere
 Justice lamar, in the dissenting opinton,s declared with vehemence that the decision upheld the principle that that state had the right to fix the price of every article on the markets. Jus tice lamar said surely the decision would uphold the power of the state to fix the price of newspapers and magazines, for they, of all things were impressed with pu bile inter- est Justice McKenna, for the ma jority of the court, declared insurance had become so clothed with a public interest ass to distinguish it from or dinAry business
 In dissenting Justice Lamar gave ut sterance to the first expression from the court as to a minimum wage scale abor in the aggregate,'' he said affects many, and so might be said to be impressed with a public interest which the court today holds is equiv- aient to public use If so, we have in the Emitted States, under this decision a law fixing wages, just as they had in England in the 4th and 18th centuries,

Death Of w. ]. Moss.

The death Of one OF the best known
citizens OF Williamson County, Tenn,
William James Moss, aged S2a years,
took place in Union City Friday after
noon, Sept. IS, 1914, at $50 O'Clock, al
the home OF Joe B. Moss, after an i'll
ness from decline OF several weeks.
Deceased was one OF the Oldest citi-
zens, born and reared in Williamson
County, residing in the vicinity Of Hills
boro, now known as Leiper's Fork, re-
ceiying liberal education in the schools,
which offered limited advantages in bis
boyhood. In maturer years Mr.. Moss
taught school and farmed In 1858 he
was united in marriage to Miss Susan
Hughes, and Of the union there were
ten children, eight Of whom survive as
follows. Mrs. Mary Dabney, Franklin;
Frank Moss, franklin; II. F.. @. II,
and Joe B., Union City; John W.,
Tuscumbia, Ala; P. A., Memphis; Jas.
B., Union City. Mrs. Moss. the mother,
died in July, 1876. In 1877 Mr.. Moss
married Mrs. Lizzie Rogers, whose
death took place in 1910. Mrs. Polk
Davis became his third wife and death
again interviewed en- May 10, 1914. A
few years ago bank was organized at
Mr.. Moss home and he was one OF the
directors, but upon the death OF the late
Mrs. Moss, he closed out, sold his farm,
and came to Union City, where he has
on many occasions visited his sons and
their families.
He was always Welcome here and in
variably called around to visit his friends,
OF whom We we're glad to be remembered
and share his friendship. Mr.. Moss
was member Of the Christian Church
at HilIsboro for so years, an elder ofthe
church for 40 years. He was never con-
nected with public Office, but was known
as man OF affairs, as universally es-
teemed perhaps as any citizen Of the
county, assisting his neighbors and
friends in the capacity Of executor, ad-
ministrator, winding up many estates,
large and small. and otherwise being
useful to his feIlowman. Mr.. Moss a.
ways took an interest in the moral mp
lift and welfare OF his community. His
life and lips we're clean, his personality
wholesome and pleasant. He was con
sistent in everything, loyal to his obli-
cations and man Of true worth.
The remains were shipped to Frank
lin, and reached Hillsboro Sunday

and supported him as a nominee. We
have no more remarks to make about
Mr.. Patterson. He is a different man
now. but our Democracy is not tinged
with the Bryan bolt that has. marked
some Of these fine gentlemen who are
superciIious critics. It is the Bryan
Democracy that is reyolutionizing the
world to-day. 1t is the Democracy that
Wilson adopted, that Roosevelt tried to
appropriate, that La Toilette is teaching
and that the world is gradually learn
ing, and we have never seen the day
that we were ashamed OF the Democratic
nominee for President in 1896, in 1900
and in 1908. The Democracy of The
Commercial is no better but just as good
as any other mans.
Mr.. Rye made fine speech. He has
a good speaking voice and magnificent
delivery. His speech is too long. 1t
would be all right for the Congressional
record, but reduced to one-third the
present size and filled with more OF the
orators ability as speaker and thinker
it would be corker. He is one Of the
cIearest headed men on the stump we
have heard for years.
His speech is much the same as the
one at Camden, which has been pub
Iished in all the daily papers. He spoke
Of the extravagauce of the present adj
ministration and OF the funding Of the
State debt by short term bonds at the
rate OF 7 per cent, when bill was in
tsedueed to refund them at lower rate
Of interest, and was killed by the Gov
ernor and his friends.
He spoke Of the sentiment for good
roads and dwelt on our school system,
criticizing Governor Hooper for standing
in with the text book publishers and de-
frauding the children Of the State in the
purchase OF books.
Mr.. Rye favored the removal Of Of
ficers who refused to enforce the tenn
perance and other laws, but very en-
phatically opposed putting the power OF
removal in the hands OF the Governor,
with which to make Republican ma
chine or any other kind of machine.
This removal should be by impeach-
ment proceedings by the courts, or re-
call by the people.

Misses Clara Rives and Velma Fisher
returned home from presbytery last

time, as there was good interest in the
business affairs of the Ladies Missionary
Society that met in the schooIhouse.
There was plenty OF good dinner for
everyone present with bountiful sup
ply OF free barbecue--both for dinner
and supper. Rev. Noel, OF Kenton,
preached his farewell sermon to the
presbytery as he said he thought it the
call OF God that carries him to Texas.
We regret very much to see him go as
he has been in our midst in the past,
but may he do good wherever be goes.

TOM C. Rye SPEAKS HERE
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
Reynolds Theatre Filled to Over
flowing With Rain Falling.

The reception rendered 10 Tom G. Rye
in Union City Wednesday was very en-
thusiastic indeed. The candidate for
Governor was met at the depot Wednes-
day night at Gibbs by Hon. D. p Calc-
we'll, and escorted to Union City.
On Wednesday he was received here
by the Rye Campaign Committee and
the Union City Rye Club. and after din
ner, with the lead Of Prof. Tate's Con-
cert Band, the crowd started from the
hotel and marched to the theatre.
The rain was falling and had been
falling in torrents all day and night
before. notwithstanding the theatre,
which seats 500 comfortably, was filed
to overlooking. The crowd was there
fore estimated at 1000 persons.
Judge Jones adjourned court for the
occasion, and the speaker was introduced
by Hon. F. ]. Smith, chairman Of the
Rye Democratic Club here, in the abb
sence Of Judge w. HI. Stuttgart, who
was unayoidably called out OF the city
on legal matters. Judge Swiggart left a
message that be will vote and support
Mr.. Rye for Governor and this brought
forth applause.
Mr.. Rye appreciated this in his re-
marks, but in referring to one OF the
newspapers here which had been wob-
bly, and was now running the Demo-
cratic ticket he had been misled and
misinformed by somebody. This paper
has carried the Democratic nominees
for Governor every campaign since the
present management in 1901 has owned
ii, as we'll as the Democratic Presidential
ticket. We are carrying that ticket now
and have always carried it. We did not
support the regular nominees in the ju-
dicial campaign four years ago, but
voted mixed ticket and when Patter-
son was q, candidate for the nomination
for second term we did all this paper
could do to defeat him, but voted for
