Mrs. Barber would have found

Hooper Attacks Democrats.

Gov. Hooper, upon his return from
Georgia, where he has been with mem
bers of the Tennessee Highway COM
mission, inspecting convict road work
and camps, gave out the following
statement on Tennessee political con-
ditions:
1.-THE nomination of Gen. Rye was a
remarkable triumph for Senator Lea.
When 1t was just whispered few
months ago that Gen. Rye was to be
Senator LEAFS candidate for the reg
ular nomination 1t was hardly thought
possible that Senator Lea could control
the regular Democratic convention. If
he could have tolled any considerable
number of Independent Democrats into
the convention he would have had a
nucleus to begin with, but scarcely a
handful of Independents participated
in the convention.
Senator LEAFS good fortune lay in
the fact that he did not have to make
his fight before the masses of the reg
ular Democrats, but only with the old
gang of politicians and ex-office-hold-
ers. In primary election he could
have made no Roadway He tried that
two years ago when he supported Pres
ton, a man OF more natural strength
than Rye, but his support was fatal to
Preston with the regular voters.
This time Senator Lea had a situa-
ton peculiarly to his liking-a conven-
ton filled with hungry applicants for
federal office, and the senator sup
posed to be in reaching distance Of
the federal pie counter.
ITO accomplish his remarkable re-
suits Senator Lea took into his bosom
certain ringleaders of the old Patter-
son machine, who never did recognize
any law but that of self-interest.
1T is easy to understand why no
Independent Democrat dared or desired
to go before this convention as can
didate for governor, and why Sam c..
Williams, the clean, able, high-minded
Democratic jurist, was given no con-
sheraton"

woRkINeMAN AND THE SALOON.


have worked In the factories. mills
and mines Of this country for many
long years, and have seen the effect
of the liquor traffic upon the security
of the workingman's employment. In
all legitimate occupations, the total abb
stainer has had the preference, for he
can be relied upon to be at his work
when he is expected, and not spend
one-third or one-half of the first part
of each week In getting over the in
f1uences of drunken carousal. The
railroad companies will not employ an
engineer or conductor that frequents
the saloon, and in many other indus
trial walks the same rule obtains.
Everyone backs such corporations in
this stand, and the workingmen are
beginning to realize what such prac-
tise means to them. When they fully
appreciate the situation, there will be
an absolute end to the liquor traffic

Commas and the Law.

The comma In the British act Of
parliament which has caused dispute
between Monmouthshire miners and
their employers recalls the fact that
such marks of punctuation we're in
troduced into law only half century
ago. Down to 1850 all acts of parlia-
ment consisted, In theory at all events,
OF one sentence. In that year spe-
cial statute was passed to allow the
text of legislative enactment to be
punctuated and pointed by full-stops.

NO SURRENDERED


In every moral struggle foreign
born citizens have fought with native
Americans to bring victory to the
cause of righteousness. Many foreign
born citizens are today struggling with
native Americans to crush the saloon,
but, unfortunately, numbers Of native
Americans join the enemies Of law and
order and sobyiety and bring defeat
to the cause of righteousness. 1t is
pitiable that descendants of Revolu-
tionary heroes and warriors of later
wars say we must surrender to the
blind pig keeper and bootlegger. They
haul down the stars and stripes and let
the lawbreakers hoist the black flag
OF riot and ruin.
Every license vote is white flag
of surrender to the lawbreakers.
Brave Americans, native and natural
lied, will not surrender to anarchists.
Lawbreakers shall not rule this land
Of ours. The saloon, the enemy Of our
country, must go.-John F. Cunneen,
