GOVERNOR HOOPER SPEAKS
TO CROWD IN UNION CITY
The Fusionists Have Large Crowd
and Big Day.

Governor Hooper spoke here last Mon
day at Reynolds Theatre to crowd that
filed the house. Arrangements were
made for the speaking and the Cover
nor's friends from all over the county
we're present. Later in the day rain
fell and not SO many people from the
city were out. The crowd was about
the same in size as the one which heard
Mr.. Rye here. The rain fell also on
that occasion, and the advantages were
about even. There were about one
thousand people at both speakings.
Governor Hooper devoted most of his
speech to Mr.. Rye, saying that the reg
ulars had adopted variety Of platforms,
and on this occasion we're cuddling to
both the temperance people and the
nullifiers of the temperance laws. He
charged that Rye supported Patterson
for a third-term nomination and that
Rye was now opposed to third term.
He said that the constitution made pro-
visions for three successive terms for
Governor provided the people Endorsed
the candidate and gave number Of
other reasons why he should be elected
for a third term.
Governor Hooper said that he had
given Tennessee the best business adj
ministration OF preceding administra-
tions. How many administrations this
includes he did not say. He specified
his conduct Of the State prison, OF the
prison farm, and other institutions, say
ing that he saved the people Of Tonnes
see large sums Of money in each Of
these departments. He said that he
had spent more money in the agricul-
tural department, but that the people
of Tennessee never knew they had an
agricultural department before. He
spoke OF Mr.. Rye's criticism of the
text books, saying that there was a
mistake in the price of two books and
that it was corrected. The exchange
price necessitated the use OF half cent
on both books, and the text book con-
Germ took advantage Of this and raised
the price one-half cent. Governor
Hooper had it changed cent lower
and gave the children instead OF the
book concern the advantage CT the
fraction. He said that he had saved
the people of Tennessee a great deal OF
money in text books, criticizing the
publishers OF text books as the great
est of graiters.
The Governor directed great deal OF
his ire and wit to the regulars. He
held them up for criticism all the way
through his speech, but towards the
close explained that he did not refer to
the regulars who lived in the country
in Obion County.
When the Governor finished he was
presented with beautiful bouquet of
flowers by Miss Alma Robinson, OF
Liberty. Tenn, sister Of DIR. G. H.
Robinson, of this city.
w. G. Sadler, candidate for Railroad
Commissioner, spoke after the Cover
nor had finished, and he was given an
attentive hearing by the large audience.
He was also presented with bouquet
OF flowers. The presentation was made
by Miss Vallie Field.

Will LIVE 100 YEARS
That Is the Promise Made to Future
Generations.

Chicago. May 15-Persons who would
be singers or public speakers should
have their tonsils removed. This was
the advice Of DR.. J. r. McCleary of
Cleveland in an address before the
Illinois Homeopathic Medical associa-
ton last night.
Il maintain that in the future all
great speakers and singers will be the
people whose tonsils have been re-
moved" said DR.. McCleary. "Tonsils
obstruct the voices muscles. There
are "A Of these and 16 nerves. which
are capable of 5000 adjustments, pro-
ducing 1862 alterations in the vocal
mechanism. If one of these is inter-
fered with by abnormal tonsils. we
fail to get the timbre sought by the
professional singers
DR.. E. S. Bailey of Chicago made the
statement that children born in 1850
will have an average length Of life of
100 years. Statistics prove that with
the advance in knowledge and in
creased ability to fight disease the av-
erage life Is increasing, he stated. The
speaker said that so years ago the av-
erage length of human life was 81
years.

SHELDON TO EDITORS.
He Recommends Cooperation With
Church and Schools.

He Recommends Cooperation With
Church and Schools.
Lawrence, May 15.-Dr. Charles M.
Sheldon of Topeka. held that the edi-
tors duty is a sacred one, and that a
newspaper is under no obligation to
print articles which please the lower
instincts.
"The newspaper ought to strike a
chord with the church and school and
then each would be trebly strong in its
EFFORTS to help humanity" he declared.
George Fitch, the humorist, said there
was no reason an editor should cater to
low desires any more than should any
other man.
"A salOonkeeper feeds a coarse appe-
ttte," said he. But no one builds a
monument to him when he dies; and
some druggists supply a demand for
morphine. but they are prosecuted as
soon as they are discovered. Most edi-
tors print stuff that Is debasing and de-
moralizing in every sense of the word
and still go about with unshamed
faces.
"One can run paper that will supply
the popular demand and in doing so it
can distort all its news, 1t can print lies
and all the time be supplying the pop
ular demand. But such papers have
mistaken popular demand and have
substituted imagination from facts and
the public takes it because it can't see
the brand. Papers can print anything
and the demand will follow for it, but
that is no excuse"
H. J. Haskell Of the Kansas City Star
declared in favor of clean Journalism
and cited instances to prove the people
wanted clean journalism.

Is Denounced Is . ~Falsiffer" by
Senator Ashurst.

Washington, May 15.-Prairte dogs
stirred up more trouble In the senate
late Thursday than tariff. currency.
tolls or woman suffrage has done In
the entire session. Before the furry
was over one senator had denounced
another az ''falsifier'' and Democrats
had been accused of converting the
party's economic pledge into a satire
1t all came about by Senator Ash
urst's being absent from the senate
when it agreed to g. $125.O00 item in
the agricultural appropriation bill for
investigating noxious farm animals.
He asked for a reconsideration so he
might insert 5000 for the investiga-
ton Of methods Of discriminating the
prairie dog, which. he said, had up
rooted whole townships in Arizona.
Senator Bristow remarked that an
appropriation for the determination
Of prairie dogs was the most asintne
thing he had ever heard Of because
every farmer knew how to get rid OF
them.
Everything I do seems asinine to
Ashurst retorted.
For a minute the storm promised
to pass over, but Senator GrOnna re-
newed 1t by answering angrtly re-
mark of Senator Bristow, saying GER
tain senators tried to be facetious
about everything.
II am not in favor of calling out
the army and navy to exterminate
the prairie dog" Senator Bristow re-
Piled. This thing looks to me like a
strained effort to get an appropria-
ton to give somebody some jobs"
