-LAsT ROLL" CUTS
PENSION LIST.

Decreases in the annual expenditure
for pensions. due chiefly to the death
of veterans of the civil war and their
widows, is shown to a marked degree
in a recent report of Gaylord NJ. Saltz-
gaber, Commissioner of Pensions.
Quoting from the report the New York
Herald says:
THE payment for the fiscal year
9l3 on account of pensions was
$174,171 $1,000, while payments for
the same purpose for the fiscal year
1914 was $172,417,56426. This
shows that the largest amount ever
pal dout was expended in 1913. Up
to that time Their had been a gradual
ascent, but the summit has been passed
and decrease in the amuont may be
expected to continue.
Mr.. Saltzgaber presented figures
showing the loss and percentage of
loss to pension rol lof Civil war
pensioners from 1909 to 1914, inclu-
siye. There were on roll in 1909
total of 62O,9S5 pensioners and in
1914 a total of 462,379 pensioners.
The percentage of los went up from
So to 7.3. In some cases the deaths
of vtrans causd additions to the
pension roll, as provision had to be
made for the dependent widows"

A REUNITED DEMO
CRATIC PARTY

The best of feeling seems to exist
between thise deocrats who recognize
in Gen. Rye thei rleader and the head
of the state government, for they are
looking to him more than to any 9TH
er agency for that guidance which will
take the legislature and the entire
state government for away frof and
aboue all factional tumult and discord
and mark the way for constructive
and useful legislation.
Not only are themembers-elect on
the scene eager to start in with the
democ alto administration, but a large
nclarer OF private citizen3 are likewise
present 10 give encouragement to our
demccrflc legislators in SEER ayow"d
purpose to accomplish something of
ment of needed legislation, and it
seems agreed among both the legisla-
tors and the public-spirited private
citizens who are clingng to gether and
discussing the approaching legislative
session, that the democratic platform
pledges must be redeemed, peace re-
stored in the state, the law enthroned
and the demands of tn public met by
the enactment of needd laws.
If there are any disturbers ready to
create furer by arousing the pas
sions and prejudices of the people
they have not as yet made their mis-
sion known, but with the prevailing
sentiment for peace so dominant,
man would have to be daring and
bold exploiter to wantonly distract the
even tenor of the occasion. We be-
lieve it is not too much to expect that
the Fifty-ninth general assembly will
be CONSPICUOUS among the law-making
bodies of the state as one of the most
orderly, most respectable and most
useful that has ever assembled, and
that its work will mark an era of
peace and prosperity in Tennessee.
The elcetio nof Tom Rye and
legislature to back him has given us
a united democracy and the guarantee
of an orderly government. 1t has
moved Tennessee to the front. 1t has
given us courage to go forward and
upbuild. 1t abs renewed our faith in
democratic principles and politics and
made us feel that~a veritable night
mare is over and that in an aroused
and awakened state. into which we
have come we can proudly march in
the front rank with government of
law and orderly and order and decency
to commend us to the world.
May we not hope that our demo-
cratic governor and our democratic
Legislature will measure fully up to
the standard of merit which is re-
quired of them by the people of Ten
nessee.-Nashville Tennessean.

MRS. HUGH WHITE
ENTERTAINS CLUB.

Mrs. Hugh White entertined the
Tuesday Bridge Club last Tuesday
at the White House on Sixth avenue.
This is the first entertainment given
by the generous hostess. since she
moved into her new home and it was
a most delightful affair in allits de-
tails. The exceptionally large living
room and the adjoining sunp arlor
lend themselves splendidly for such
affairs and on this occasion the pleas

tractive. A three-course luncheon was
one of the pleasing features of the
evening. Those present were:
Mrs. r. A. Lacey, Mrs. ]. r. Sim

Gnius Akin to Insanity.

According to DR.. Macmillan GrosZ-
man educational director of the Ma
tional Association for the Study OF
Children, genius is akin to insanity
This is no new statement for any
alienist to make. The fact has been
generally conceded that the relation
ship is exceedingly close. The most
Egeniusi people in the world ard
crazy people. A drug-crazed victim
insane to all intents and purposes,
shows an unnatural shrewdness in Sc
curing the drug. They exhibit rare
genius in this respect.
Many of the worlds greatest bene-
factors have been thought to be in
sane. When Benjamin Franklin ex-
perimented with his kite in thunder
storm his Philadelphia friends gave
him up as hopeless case.
There are people in Memphis today
who looked upon Thomas Alva Edison
as a crazed telegraph operator. Ger
tainly his conduct and method of liv-
ing justified this ASSUMPTION. He
would sit by the hour with glass of
beer in front of him, sit in silence,
forgetful of all but his own thoughts.
Yet these same thoughts made him in
later years man distinguished among
his fellow men.
The first man who introduced the
umbrella into London was stoned pub
licly on the streets and was imprison-
ed as lunatic.
Chopin, one of the greatest compos-
ers of his time, was believed to be
insane and was several times declared
to be demented by expert physicians.
Edgar Allen Poe was nearly always
crazed with drink. When his poem,
THE Raven" first appeared in print,
1t was held up as proof positive of the
working of crazed brain. Yet today,
when the evil which died with Poe has
been almost forgotten, he is recogniz-
ed as one of the greatest literary gent
uses America has ever produced.
A. genius is man or woman wha
goes a little beyond the bounds of
the accepted order of things, who
dares thing a little in advance, who
hos developed ideas, capable of te
greatest good. In the noraml stage
