WILSON FIRM IN DETERMINE
TON TO RUN NATION
ECONOMICALLY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Presi-
dent Wilson today reiterated his de-
termination that government appro-
priations next year shall be less than
those of this year and that strict
economy be observed in all depart
ments. He told callers that every
effort would be made to keep the ex-
penditures down, and said that he
had strongly impressed this on mem
bers of the cabinet and of the SEN
ate and house.
President Wilson is hopeful of the
establishment soon of budget sys-
tenn under which the finances of the
government could be handled in a
more businesslike way. Because Of
the limited time in the next session
of congress, however, he thought it
would be impossible to create such a
system before the next congress.

DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS TO
BE OPENED AT MEMPHIS
NEXT MONDAY.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct. 20.-Plans
for the opening of democratic head
quarters next Monday have been
completed by local leaders. Harry
Kingston will be in charge. To give
Gen. Rye 10000 majority in Shelby
county, is the slogan of the campaign.
Gov. Hooper and the republican man
ayers have purposely seen to it that
no legislative ticket be put in the
field in hope that interest might be
kept down and that the vote would
in consequence be light. The legis-
lative candidates will take the stump
actively, commencing with the begin
ming of the coming week. Thomas
B. King will inaugurate campaign
in the country outside of the city
wards There is no Hooper senti-
ment in Shelby county, and all pre-
vious factions are united for Gen.
Rye for governor.

ANOTHER SCALP
FOR HIGH SCHOOL
MT. PLEASANT LICKED 80 TO 0
By THE LOCAL TEAM IN THE
PHOSPHATE CITY.

The Columbia High School has
added another victory to its credit.
The local eleven has taken the scalp
of the Mt. Pleasant High School.
They went down to the phosphate
city and put over five touchdowns
and two goals for a total of 80 to 0
against the Mt. Pleasant team.
The locals were too heavy and
showed the benefit of superior coach
ing. The result was that the only
point about which there was any
doubt was the size of the score.
The local team has steadily improv-
ed under the coaching of Prof. Har-
Olson. The team has been green and
it has taken time to drill the men in
their positions. They are now ready
to play first class ball.

DEMOCRATIC RALLY

DICKSON, Tenn, Oct 20.-At an
enthusiastic meeting Of the Central
Rye club of Dickson, held in the court
house, it was decided to hold big
democratic rally in Dickson county
on Saturday, Oct. 81. The place to
hold this rally has not been definitely
settled, but it is thought that the raj
ly will either be held in Dickson or
at the Hicks place on the Charlotte
pike. There will be free barbecue on
the ground. 1t is the managemeAt's
intention to have several able ora
tors on this occasion to address the
public. A general good time il an

not like to see broken down the
carefully framed series of negations
by which we seek to exclude from
the knowledge of judges and jurors
all testimony which does not con-
form to our conceptions of proper
,probative character, leaving the
testimony in our courts to take the
wide range that characterizes trials
on tn continent Of Europe; but there
is no country in the world in which
rules for the exclusion Of evidence
are applied with the rightly and
technically obtaining in the United
States. England and her colonies
which follow the course of the COM
mon law have similar rules but they
are applied with breadth and lib
crafty in favor of getting at the
truth not usually found In our
courts. Our trial practice in the ad-
mission and exclusion of evidence
does not agree with the common
sense, the experience, or the in
stincts of any intelligent layman in
the country. And as a consequence,
while we are aiming to exclude mat
ers which our rules declare to be in
competent or irrelevant or immater-
ial, we are frequently also excluding
the truth. How common it is to see
an unsophisticated witness on the
stand trying to tell true story
about some event with which he is
familiar and continually stopped and
bewildered by objections based upon
distinctions which do not exist in his
mind at all, and finally leaving the
stand with a feeling that he has been
bottled up and not allowed to tell
the truth. We apply these same
rules with the same rightly to wo-
men, whose minds work in an entire
ly different way from the mind Of
any lawyer who even had anything
to do with devising or developing
the rules Of evidence. 1t is an ex-
cedingly difficult thing to tell the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth on the witness stand
as any lawyer who has been a wit
ness must realize; and the simplest
and best way to get that done is to
come as near as possible to allowing
people to tell their stories their own
way"

funds that he had expended, and the
economies that had been practiced
This portion of his speech did not
arouse much enthusiasm, as there
were many statistics and figures,
which took away the spice that had
characterized the political portion OF
his speech. He closed his remarks
upon this feature of his work by say.
ing that no man could point out
where any Of the departments had
spent money foolishly, and that he
himself had always stood against
foolish and unwise appropriations.
The only two respects in which he
had approved increased appropria-
tons were for education and the old
soldiers, both of which he thought
were correct. He took a punch at
Gen. Rye on the last point, saying
that he was guilty of SOLDERING over
the veterans Of the Lost Cause, but
only before election. Had he and the
regulars been sincere in their protes-
tations over them, they would have
endorsed old Bill Sadler, who was
of those who wore the gray from 1861
to 1868. ...
"The paramount issue in this cam
paign is that of law enforcement, it

fight for law enforcement going to
turn over your guns to the law break
ers?" ~.. .. ....

Objects to the Multiplicity of the

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-Elihu
Root told the members of the Ameri-
can bar association here today that
rules of evidence in the United States
should be reformed so that witness
could tell his story in his own way
without confusing objections on the
part of lawyers. He also decried the
multiplicity of laws as one of the
worst evils of the day. In part, he
said
What can the Bar do to improve
the administration Of justice in the
United States? First, we can i'm
prove our law-making. We make too
many laws. According to a count
made in the Library of Congress, our
national and state legislatures pass
ed 62,O14 statues during the five
years from 1909 to 1913 inclusive.
During the same five years 65,379
decisions of the national and state
courts of last resort were reported
in $50 volumes. OF these statutes
2,O13 were passed by the National
Congress, and of these decisions J.
06l we're rendered by the Supreme
Court of the United States. Many
Of these statutes are drawn martin
cially, carelessly, ignorantly. Their
terms are so vague, uncertain, doubt
full that they breed litigation inevi'
tablt.
Another thing the Bar can do Is
to simplify the procedure OF our
courts. There is very great dlf-
ference in this respect in the states
Taking the country as whole judi
