WILSON ONE YEAR AS
NATIONS PRESIDENT

We take pleasure in reproduc-
ing from the Louisville Herald, a
Republican newspaper, the fol-
lowing. The Herald is one of
the cleanest, fairest and most
level-headed papers coming to
our exchange table:
One year ago today
Do you know what happened?
When we recall the date
March 4---perhaps you will.
Woodrow Wilson became Pres
ident of the United States.
Coming into office after a brief
term of public service as Cover
nor of New Jersy and with COM
paratively slight acquaintance
with national legislation or legis-
lators, President Wilson has
made a decided hit" in the
hardest job on earth.
He has established a wonder
full grip on the public's conf
dence. He has few detractors.
and there is a general feeling
that he is able and square.
He has shown a remarkable
power, or perhaps it would be
more tasteful to say influence,
over Congress, and it is to this
that may be attributed much of
what has been accomplished in
so short period. The revision
of the tariff and reform of the
banking system are notable
achievements of his first year in
the White House.
He started with a programme
carefully thought out and he has
stuck to it as a builder to his
plan.
1t is too early to judge of this
programmes adequacy what
has thus far unfolded, though
giving hope, is but the beginning.
The tariff and currency legisla-
tion satisfied an almost unani-
nous demand, but there are
new problems to be solved and
the people are hoping that Wood
row Wilson will measure up to
the needs of the day. We be-
lieve he will.
!, There is no ques tion as to the
.sident's intentions. H
cans to do right. He is doing
lis best. 1t is the patriotic duty
fthe country to stand behind
N solidly in his handling of
perplexing foreign questions.

as to who these men will be.
Echo answers who up to the
present time, but nine Regulars
of more or less political promi-
nence and two men in the Inde-
pendent ranks have been men
toned"
Those in the Regular column
whose names have been spoken
in the same breath with the
mention of the governorship are
James B. Frazier of Hamilton,
j. D. G.. Mortin, Sumner; Lon
Mcfarland of Wilson, John l..
Cox of Sullivan, T. R. Preston
of Hamilton, Judge S. j. Ever
ett of the Ninth Congressional
District, Judge Albert Roberts
of Livingston, John R. Neal of

Ross For Chancellor.

In this issue Chancellor j. w.
Ross formally announces fol
Chancellor of the Eighth Divis.
ion, subject to the will of the
people at the August election
1914. Speaking of his announce
ment the Jackson Sun (inde-
pendent) says:
Judge Ross was appointed by
Gov. Hooper to fill out the un-
expir d term of Chancellor E.
E. Bullock, w h o recently
r G n e d the position to
resume the practice of law.
Judge Ross is not unknown to
the people of this county and al
though comparatively a young
man his experience as a practic-
ioner is large and his attain
ments in the law such as give
his opion much weight with the
legal profession. Since his ap-
appointment as Chancellor he has
held court in this county and has
demonstrated his Familiarity with
the laws of Tennessee and has
shown keen perception of the
equities involved in the contro-
versies arising in his court. His
uniform courtesy and fairness to
lawyers and litlgants has won
for him much favor in this coun-
ty, and we feel sure that his an
nouncement will be very pleasing
to his host of friends over this
Chancery Division.

JURY HANGS IN THE
PURYEAR ASSAULT CASE

To the great establishment Of
everybody who heard the evi
dence, Wednesday afternoon the
jury empowered to bring in a
verdict on the McWilliams- Mos
ris- Martin case reported that
they could not agree, after con
sidering the matter for t e n
hours. According to those who
heard the case tried there was
very little evidence against
these PuryeA gentlemen who
are charged with assault.
The public expression in their
favor was unanimous, all ex
cept the jury, charged under
solemn oath, believing that the
men would be acquitted.
Even the judge on the bench
was surprised that the jury
could not agree-in fact he told
them so when they reported
: their disagreement.
In our some thirty years of ex-
perience in the newspaper busi-
ness we never before came in
contact with a case exactly like
this. We know nothing of the
merits of. the case, but we do
know that according to the rules
of evidence in this great, free
America these men should have
been set free. In every state
every accused man is Presumed
to be innocent until proven gull
ty BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT,
men may be guilty but the
evidence did not justify a yer
dict against them. We uuder-
stand two men only on this jury
were for acquittal Mr.. McWill-
Jams, especially, was freed from
all blame by the judge but the
jury made no exception of him
in considering the case.
These men will have another
trial and if no more evidence is
brought out against them than
pwas produced at this trial then
they will go hence without day.
