PEOPLE WHO WANT IT.

The News for sometime has beer
pushing the merits of its SPACE edi-
tion at $t.00 per year, but results are
not as extensive as desired 1t was
secured at the express desire of num-
Der who wanted more reading matter
and were willing to pay slight
charge extra for it. The matter is
carefully selected for all members of
the family, from dressmaking up to
farm and gar1en, with fine continu-
ed story running Another reason we
have to desire the success of this s.
page edition is that it is much more
complete paper than the 4-page edi-
ton. It looks more like newspaper
and feels more like it. Such a sheet
produces greater weight with advertis-
ers, and we feel must bring us more
business.
AS we said, results so far are not en-
couraging, but, however, every once
and while ray of hope reaches us,
because those who have subscribed for
the SPACE edition appreciate it and
want it.
For instance a lady in Minnesota
wrote last week to have the SPACE ed
ition sent her. In some way or other
she got copy of the SPACE edition
and getting interested in it, wanted
it, The beauty about it was her sub
scription was only paid for the 4-page
edition but that was easily fixed, and
we trust she is happy now.
Another lady in Charleston, Tenn,
did not get the final chapters of the
'Flying Man" The edition was ex-
hausted. and all we could do was to
write and tell her how the story ended.
She is now reading "Holton of the
Navy" our new serial, and we will
try to make sure that she gets her
copy weekly.
A gentleman at Orme is another to
raise complaint. He wants the s.
page edition. and wants it bad.
We like to get these complaints.
It shows that people are reading, and
that is what We are after. If there
was more reading of interesting arti
cles in books and newspapers. and less
goesipping and idleness, there would
be deal more happiness in the
world.

Con tradicts His Statements.


l notice in last weeks issue of the
Sequachee Valley News lengthy let
ter from "Uncle Tom," of Tracy City,
in which he assails the Grundy Coun-
ty officials, and in which he under
takes to hold them up to the public as
set of lawless rascals, who have
formed ring to perpetuate themselves
in Office and that there is nothing too
dirty or mean for them to do. OF
course, the people of Tracy City con-
slider the source from which these ac-
cusations come and know they are
from the pen of man who has tried
to be a leader in every party and
church in the county but the people
know him too we'll to pay any atten-
ton to his nonsensical rot.
He says: "Grundy county has suf-
fered because she has failed to do her
duty, hence the offices are filed with
republicans ''Upcle Tom" knew
when he said this that it was false
hood, and every voter. in Grundy
County knows it. There is but one re-
publican holding Office in Grundy
County and this, like several false
statements of his, needs no notice from
honest, truthful men.
He further says: tThe democratic
party is o. K. but she must select
men friendly to the working man or
she can never win another battle. "
Do you suppose ''Uncle Tom" is hop
ing to get in the race in Older to pro-
tect and defend the poor working man
whom he now loves so we'll, but who
have not forgotten only few years
ago when he was theil bitter enemy,
and did all in his power to break down
the organization that was all the lab
oring man in Tracy City had to pro-
tect him.
He says: "From what I can hear in
dependentism will get set back be-
fore August, that the Socialist party
is not dead by jugful and that they
will poll as many votes in the next
election as they did in the last" Two
years ago every nominee of the regu-
lar faction went down in defeat and
the socialists failed to elect their tick
ct. l am sure that if "Uncle Tom"
had not tried to be leader in the So
cialist party that they would have
polled more votes, and his fighting the
independent candidates made them
hundreds of votes. The voters of
County will not stand for
leader who is one thing today, another
tomorrow and never anything Grun-
dy county offices are filled with men,
most of whom have welded the pick
and shovel, and l believe the 'laboring
men in Tracy City know who their
friends are and will pay nos attention
to the cheap advice given by a turn
coat who has been their been their
bitter enemy.
He says again: 81 want the demo-
cratic party to get busy and hunt a
good man for sheriff, have a mass
meeting and hunt a good fellow"
Aud in the next breath he says be is
socialist. Bnt this is his inconsistent |
way of trying to lead good, honest peo-
Pile. Now let the democratic party get |
busy, call mass meeting. make Sun
lie Tom" chairman, nominate him for
sheriff and then she will have the man |
who the democratic party should win |
with. that good democrat he wants the
party to hunt and put up for sheriff.

WHAT a PAPER SHOULD PRINT.


Richard Lloyd Jones, editor of the
Wisconsin Journal, of Madison, pub
iished in his newspaper on Dec. a
strong editorial in which he gave his
views as to what model newspaper
should print. Among other things he
said that the newspaper that does not
record the crimes as we'll as the virtues
of community or country is not serv-
ing the public as it should.
THE greatest story in the history
OF the world" he continues. twas
the story of crucifixion when, as the
reporters of this time tell us, the
clouds hung black and low and the
sun did not shine on Calvary.
The greatest story in the history of
America was a murder story. 1t occu-
pied the first page of every newspaper
of the country for more than three
weeks. That was a story of the muir
der of Abraham Lincoln.
1.-The story of any war is always
horrible, revolving, but it is important.
They are the stories that have built
and destroyed empires, armed and de-
throned kings. So, too. is the story
of any social or industrial warfare
or conflict of vital importance to the
state. The newspaper that does not
inform the people of these struggles
and interpret the causes of these stfug-
giles fails in its primary duty. The
world is task, not picnic"
This is good, strong talk, and,
moreover, it is true. No newspaper
can claim to be doing its duty to the
public that does not impartially re-
cord both the good and the evil that
men do. 1t is as to the manner of
the recording that men differ. Con-
servative editors believe that stories
of crimes like murders, outrages and
lynchlngs should be told in the fewest
possible words. No attempt should
be made to color the news or go into
gruesome details that unnecessarily
shock the finer sensi bilities. Editors
who conduct the sensational newspa-
pers, on the other handy believe that
the public wants to read all the dis
gusting details or at least those that
can be printed without attracting the
attention OF Anthony Cumstock.
Newspapers are not published for in
fants or young children, hut for the
grown ups. who are supposed to know
some things not taught within the
nursery walls. This world is not all
smiles and sunshine. It has its moral
and business storms and disturbances
that try mems souls. We are not all
saints, neither are we all sinners. If
we do not know Of the existance of
evil, how are we to learn to avoid it,
The failure, of parents to acquaint
their childen with some of the funda-
mental facts concerning the relations
Of the sexes has ruined the lives of
many.
1t is the function of the newspaper
to be teacher as we'll as a reporter Of
events. If. therefore, it does not point
out the pitfalls that beset the Path
way of youth, or sound the strident
note of warning when danger theatens
the moral, political or business life of |,
a community, it is unworthy to be
called a newspaper-it's a rag. Editor
and Publisher

The surest way to make hard times

save away in an old sock. 1t is good
idea to be saving and thrifty, but put
the coin in good bank or invest it in

to be used to transact business, and if
it can't do this it is not playing the
part in the worlds work that it was

A ROYAL HEART

Selected
Ragged uncomely and old and gray.
A woman walked in northern town.
And through the crowd as she wound her
way
One saw her loiter and then stoop
down.
Putting something away in her old torn
gown.
"You are hiding jewel!' the watcher
said.
(Ah! that was her heart-had the truth
been ready
what have you stolen?" he asked again.
Then the dim eyes filled with a sudden
pain,
And under the Pickering light of the gas
She showed him her cleaning. ITS
broken glass"
She said; II haze lifted frae the street
To be DOT O. the road O. the bairnies'
feet!'
Under the Auttering rags astir
That was a royal heart that beat!
Would that the world was more like her
Smoothing the road for it's bairnies feet

SUPPRESSION OF TRUTH.
From the Nashville Banner.

The Tennessean and American failed to
print Governor Hooper's speech at Man
chester in regard to the Martindale Direc-
tory matter, although the Governor made
special request Of the papers representa-
tive present that it be printed, and furnish
ed him copy of the speech.
Instead OF printing the speech, the Lea
'paper reiterated in its editorial columns It's
former SANDER that the Governor retuted.
The Martindale Directory for many years
rates Governor Hooper as hrst-class IN
every respect In 1908 he was voted A IN
legal ability and B in the manner in which
The Governor fully explained in his Man,
chester speech, an extract OF which follows;
'After week of twisting and squirming,
Gen. Rye has replied by saying that Mar
tndale's directory of 1903 rated me as
6rst-class in legal ability and second-ciass
in moral character.
"To this I now desire to reply that Ger
Rive has made statement that ne either
knows to be false, dishonest and SANDER
ous. or he has suffered himself to be I'M
posed upon by some of his INSCRIPTIONS
partisans. =,
~Martindale.s Legal Directory did not
rate me nor does it rate any lawyer, as to
moral character Upon the contrary, 1t
EXPRESSLY states that its rating does not
hear mon or affect moral character.
"This directory first rates a lawyer aa to
legal ability and its next rating. IS TO re-
concentrations This latter rating IS inc
recommendation of the directory as to the
desirahility of lawyer for matters OF COM
mercial law and collections. The deslra-
bilitv of lawyer for matters OF CONNER
cial law and collections. The directory
further states that a man may be gwen IN. he
highest rating as to legal ability, ana sui
not receive the highest rating Tor CONNER
cial law and collections, foT it often hap
pens that the best-rated members OF bar
are 50 engrossed in the general practice or
in some special line that they are not good
collectors. -,
''It was along the lines OF commercial
law and collections that | seem to nave
been rated in the second-class at my par
in 1908, although | was given the highest
rating as to legal ability
The directory makes special explanation
of what the letters employed indicate ana
says: lo.
Nothing deroga,ory to moral character
sbopld he inferred from these rating with
out special information to that effect.
All of the facts in this matter are at the
command of Mr.. Rye and the Iennessean
and American. 1t is easily in the power
of both the candidate and the paper to tell
the whole truth in the matter if they choose;
The public is not going to be deceived
nv the suppression of facts and the KIND OF
MISREPRESENTATION in which they engage.
On the other hand, it will all react IN
in Governor Hooper's favor because OF tne
scurrlous endeavor to injure his character
The law books note two KINDS OF unre-
liable evidence suggestio falsi and sup,
presto veri. One suggests the false ana
the other suppresses the truth. Both are
found in what Rye, LEAFS organ and other
enemies of the Governor have been saying
about the Martindale Directory matter.
