A Statesman AT The Helm.

President Wilson grows in
statue as a wise, far-seeing and
constructive statesman as he
meets and disposes of trying
emergencies, an extraordinary
number of which haS'arisen during
his two years of office. His
organizing ability and his forceful
leadership were early manifested
in the passage of the tariff and
currency laws. In fact these con-
structive acts alone would have
rendered his first term extra
ordinary for its success, but added
to this has been his wonderful
achievement for the pacification
of Mexico, and that, too, not only
without embroiling his own coun-
try in the feud, but in winning the
confidence and friendly esteem of
all factions in that disturbed conn
try. He did this in the face of.the
most adverse circumstances and
despite the most villainous and
abusive efforts OF selfish jingoes at
home to thwart his purpose and
who howled loud and long for
wax.
His admirable poise and presence
of mind following the sudden
outbreak of war among European
natioaS his firm and unequivocal
stand for positive Neutrality and
his ABILITY to impress his sincerity

Hooper's Public Record

And they say we cannot attack
Gov. Hooper's public record.
How child like! His public record
is the one we expect to go after
the hardest. People away from
Cooke county care mighty little
about his private record, but they
are interested in what he has done
as governor, or better, what he
has not done. He has failed to.
pay a cent on the enormous state
debt; he traded offices for political
power; he cost the state three
hunred thousand dollars in inter-
est because he played politics in
stead of business; he made a
trade with Ed. Crump whereby a
whiskey man and a Roman Catho-
lie was made speaker of the last
legislature; he promised Ed. Crump
there should be no whiskey legis-
lation that would effect Memphis;
he sent armed penitentiary guards
and fire marshalls to the legislative
hall to see that measures he favor
ed were not defeated and a thous-
and and one other public acts
which we expect to expose be-
tween now and the November
election. Yet his followers here
would have people believe he is
| lust the kind of man we want as
governor. Tennessee wants a
governor who will conduct our
business on a business principle
one who will not have to resort
to low and cohtemptible trading
to carry his points, one big'enough
to do the right thing, even If the
right thing be unpopular at the
time. Tennessee wants a COVER
nor who is nota hypocrit.

gather with his persuasive appeal
by which he gained the immediate
sympathy and support of his own
people, have manifested in larger
measure than can now be fully
realized the completeness of his
qualities for leadership. -
And as if to clinch his masterful
grasp of his duties to his own
people and their responsibility to
the world for the outcome of an
honorable peace because of their
absolute impartiality toward all
nations engaged in the present
titanic struggle, he has gotten
from Japan through the address
OF a firm and unequvocal in
terrogatory definate declaration
of the full intention of her recent
demande upon Germany. He has
told Japan the construction this
country puts upon her ultimatum,
and Japan has answered that that
construction is correct, and thus
is relieved at once a tension that
appeared to be ominous and which
might; if continued longer without
afull understanding have given
rise to serious issues.
And so, through the magnificent
craftsmanship of this man, the
people of the United States are
at peace with the whole world
and will so remain, in the enc
propably to be mediators, if mo-
the arbiters, between the warning
nations, and the sure beneficiaries
both in character and material
wealth,-Chattanooga Times.

The Times sheds crocodile tears
whenever Hooper's name is men,
toned, unless it is to praise him.
Lord bless your little soul, Baby
Oscar. Nelse Cate learned him
long before you did when he said,
"Hooperhas no use for a man when
he can't use him to his own ben
efit." The whole Hooper program
is to criticise, find fault and abuse
every man who don't fall down
and worship at the Hooper shrine,
land yet it is all right for him to
abuse and vilify a man like w. S.
Hendricks, whose shoes he is not
fitto clean. Hooper's record is 60
ing to be laid bare before Novem-
Der frosts come and he will then
roost lower than ever before.

Theodore Roosevelt has >deci-
ded thatthe principles for which
he contends shall not be relega-
ted to the rear, as is shown by
his present political activity
When it is recalled, that he re-
ceived 90 electoral votes and
Taft s, it is not surprising that he
is not willing to surrender. With
the Bull Moose organization being
kept up, and with Jesse Littleton
running for governor as a Bull
Mooser, and with a Bull Mooser
running for Congress and various
other offices in Tennessee, it will
be seen that they mean to fight
on, and as leader was heard to
say the other day. "They will
have to come to us, Roosevelt will
be the next candidate for Presi-
dent on platform declaring for
the very things he contended for
before"

DR.. j. w. McMahan of North
Carolina, was selected as chair
man of the resolutions committee
last Thursday which gave him the
right to- read the resolutions which
had been prepared by Judge Cafe.
The doctor was very happy and
when he read the endorsement of
Hooper one could not keep from
thinking of the statements both
he and the author have been heard
to make on the public streets.
Mr.. Cate has said that Hooper
would walk over the body of his
best friend for a two dollar note
and McMahan has said that no
grander hypocrit lived in the state
than its govrnor, but of course
these statements were made be-
fore the governor made a Judge
out of Mr.. Cate and before he
purchased DR.. Massey with a job
as prison physician.

H. O. Eckel, in The Sewer
County Record says: AFTER five
years experience we are con-
WINGED that the only satisfactory
way to run a country newspaper
is for one man to own it, control
it and be responsible for what it
says. No editor can hope to
please a bunch of politicians and
the reading public at one and the
same time. Their interests are
not the same"

an interview, said that while he
deplored the fact that the primary
could not be held, itappeared that
it could not be legally, and had
therefore decided to make his
fight before the progressive con-
vention at Jouesboro. In fact,
instead of calling themselves
republicans, it appears that the
Shipley or anti-Sells people have
decided to throw off the mask of
republicanism and denominate
themselves as progressives, and
make a straight fight on Sells and
the republican organization.
1t means that there will be a hot
old fight in the First district, which
is heavily republican, and which,
following the harmony agreement
of the early summer, had been
depended upon to give Governor
Hooper and the republican ticket
a majority of twelve thousand or
more. But the dream is broken.
With such leaders as Judge H. T,
Campbell, ALI Taylor, A. L. Shipley
Maj. Paul E. Divine and others
who have Loyalty supported the
state ticket in the past, wavering
the state ticket will encounter
serious difficulties during the ap.
! proching campaign. Congress
man Sells will have the fight Of
his life to win in November, anC
the factional fight in the First will
be even more bitter this fall thar
two or four years ago, and Cover
nor Hooper is bound to suffer.

Hot Contest in First District

The following special sent out
from Knoxville will be of interest
to Plain Talk readers:
The expected break between
the republican factions in the
First congressional district has
come to pass. The harmony in
strument on which. the republi-
cans in that end of the state have
been playing since their agree
ment to hold a joint primary was
patched up early in the summer,
has not now left a single whole
string, or one note, but that is out

ltality of Insurance Commissioner
j. Will Taylor, representing the
governor, the two republican con-
gressional committees in the First
district, the Sells and anti-Sells,
were brought together, and a pri-
mary was ordered for September
5, at which a nominee for con-
gress was to be named. The pri-
mary was to have been held by a
subcommittee from both the Sells
and anti-Sells congressional COM
mittees. =
At the meeting of the anti-Sells
or Shipley, the old Brownlow or
ganization, held at johnson City
Tuesday, the Sells committee was
declared to not have lived up to
its share of the agreement, rela-
tons were broken off, and the
anti-Sells people announced they
would not enter into the primary.
They charged that the sub-com-
mittee had failed to give the, re-
quired thirty days notice neces-
sary for legalized primary, and
that they had also failed to give
notice of registration in counties
where the Dortch law applies,
hence a legalized primary was not
possible, and they would there

 lt would be improper in this brief review of recent legislation as apply ing to the mining industry to dwell at length on the law enacted by the first legislature for the taxation of mines. as this subject win be fully discussed at the meeting of the con- gross.
 In conclusion therefore, it is a fair assumption, which is borne out by actual experience, that il-digested legislation such as that above cited has not been of financial or moral benefit to the wage earner but has served to embarrass an industry on the material prosperity of which this state to a large extent depends. Elm phasizing this, the contrast between the carefully considered mine inspec- ton law and the hastily framed and illogical compulsory compensation and eight hour laws is striking. A prolonged period of great depression
 faces the copper producers and only mutual cooperation and wisely con ! sidered measures can succeed in pre-
 venting great suffering in the mining , communities through further restric ton in the copper output
