MAY FORCE NATIONAL
DEFENSE TO ISSUE

OF the Navy and War. The purpose of
these conferences will be to procure in
formation upon which he can base n
fair. reasonable. and practical program
Of national defense
Secretary Daniels recent utterances
regarding the surprising development OF
instruments OF modern warfare, includ-
ing the submarine, and the formation OF
scientists. are out other specimens Of
the handwriting upon the wall fore
casting deeper interest in the improves
ment OF the national defense.
Former Attitude.
1t is recalled. however. that the big
army and big navy men made but little
progress at the last session of Con-
gress. The Administration was accused
by them Of being lukewarm. The army
and navy bills were pared and the
Gardner proposal for an investigation
by an impartial commission of the
problem Of national defense was un-
tremendously shelved by the leaders.
The small navy and small army men
and the budgets for the military arm Of
the Government did not reflect that half
the world was at war and the United
States stood by az an onlooker In dam
ger Of being drawn into the maelstrom.
That. however, was before the serious
controversy with Germany arose. be-
fore ''watchful waiting came to an end
in Mexico. and before experts had fully
realized the deadly instrumentality Of
42-centimetre guns and submarines
one OF the latter now being regarded by
mel ny students OF warfare as worth
more than two battleships.
Presidents Attitude.
The President himself. in one Of his
messages to Congress. referred to the
so-called hysteria of regarding the
clamor centering on the national de-
tense:
'It Is not new. There Is no new
need to discuss II. We shall not alter
our attitude toward it because some
among us are nervous and excited
Developments OF the past few weeks
however. promise that national de-
fense will be the big question OF the
next Congress.
The tariff, trust regulation, con.
servation and kindred topics which
have been bruited about by politicians
and statesmen for year will go &C
the rear and. whether war seems re.
mote or near. there will be an alb.
sorbing interest in the nations abil
ity to defend itself.

italians Are Pressing
Vigorous Attack on
Goritz; Fall Rumored

ROME. July 25.-An official report
from General Cadorna earlv today
failed to confirm rumors that Goritz
has been occupied by Italian troops.
The Italian commander-in-chief re-
ported that heavy Austrian attacks on
the Carso plateau near Gortz were re-
pulsed. the Italians taking many
prisoners.
I'm the Val AmpezZo region. we have
completed the occupation Of Tofana,'
said the official statement. I'm the
Monte NarO zone we have reached the
heights Of Luznica."
Persistent rumors that Goritz had
fallen before heavy Italian attacks were
circulated here today. but the latest
official dispatches said the Italians
were heavily bombarding the bridge
head at Goritz and closing in upon the
city from both north and south.

TURNPIKE ACT IS
VOID Of ITS FACE
SAYS THE DEMURRER
LAW WITH REFERENCE TO cHIRT
OR GRAVEL is AT
Tackled.
ARBITRARY CLASS LEGISLATION
Intended to Apply Alone to Maury
County But Fails to Make Any Pro
vision for Subsequent Federal Cen.
sus-lndictment Also Attacked.

Alleging that the act of 1905 under
which it was recently indicted, is un-
constitutional and void, the Columbia,
Goodwin and Santa Fe Turnpike Com.
pany has filed demurrer in the coun.
ty criminal court to the Indictment
The demurrer will be argued before
Judge Mcknight in few days.
The act Of 1905 provides that the
turnpike companies shall place a coat.
ing Of chirt, or gravel or dirt upon
their roads after they have metalled
the same. The indictment was found
under this act, it being alleged thai
this was not done by the turnpike
company in question.
After enacting what on its face ap-
pears to be general statute the act
provides that it shall not apply to
counties except those having not less
than $4,000 or more than 42,700. This,
under the federal census of 1900.
would have included Maury county.
However, the act makes no reference
to that federal census or to any sub
seQuent federal census and provides
no method whereby the population OF
the county can be ascertained.
1t is contended by the defendant
corporation that in fixing an arbitrary
population without the classification
clause, which has been the saving
part of all acts of this nature, the act
becomes arbitrary, vicious and class
legislation and is void upon its face.
Unless the saving census clause could
be read into the act 1t would be neces
sary to count the people of the coun.
ty at the time of the commission Of
the alleged offense, for manifestly II
at that time, it did not have the popu-
lation mentioned, it would not be en-
braced within the provisions of the
act. This manifestly, it would be i'm.
possible to do.
The defendant also demurs because
the indictment fails to charge that
the alleged offense was committed
within the bounds of county describ-
ed In the act under which the indict-
ment was returned. The indictment
simply charges the offense. William
s. Fleming, Sr., represents the defend.
ant turnpike company.

DOLLAR SLUMP IN
PIGS BLESSING TO
FARMERS Of COUNTY
MUCH BETTER TO FEED THEM
UNTIL THEY GET INTO HOG
CLASS.
DECLARES The VETERAN DEALER
Expresses View That With Plenty Of
Corn Money viii Be Made BY TAX
Ing This course-Outiook for Cattle
Market.

The slump of a dollar in two days
in the prices of pigs is really bless
ing to the farmers of the county"
said Milton E. Allen, the veteran
stock buyer and dealer, when asked
today why the market on pigs was so
bad while that on hogs was steady.
pigs have been too high recently.
The light stuff, that is less than 100
pounds, has been selling almost as
high as the mediums and evenhigher
than the heavies That was an unnat-
ural situation and was not justified
by the conditions. Now the spread
has closed and pigs are resuming
their normal place. Hogs of less than
1870 pounds are classed as pigs, those
from 100 to ITS as lights and those
from IT'S to 200 or 225 as mediums.
Hogs above that weight are heavies.
Farmers should keep their pigs es-
pecially at this season until they
make light or medium hogs at least.
We have plenty of corn in this coun-
try and ! belive that it will be much
more profitable for the farmers to
feed their hogs for a time and add
weight to them and sell later than
it will be to market them while they
are under weight. 1t would be my ad-
vice to farmers to take this course.
They should at least get them heavy
enough to be out Of the pig class. l
do not look for any big rally in the
prices of pigs soon.
What about cattle?"
WELL" replied Mr.. Allen, "the mar
ket is somewhat uncertain and |
doubt if there is going to be any decid-
ed advance in prices soon. All Of the
markets have had big runs and on ac-
count of the restrictions at Chicago
and the fear of the farmers of foot
and mouth disease there Is little out
let there for -stockers. Louisville was
flooded all this week and the market
is exceedingly dull in consequence.
But prices are good and there is real.
ly no cause to complain"

GALLATIN, Tenn, Sept. 1S.-In
the presence Of large and enthusi-
astic audience Congressman Kenneth
D. Mcclellan today opened his cam,
paign for the nomination for the Unit.
ed States senate.
In the first part of his speech Mr..
Mcclellan spoke of his loyalty to the
| democratic party, of his regularity.
He said that he had supported Sena-
tor Carmack for governor but that
in 1910 he presided over the conven7
ton that nominated Bob Taylor for
| governor and two years later worked
for McMillin for governor. Last year
he supported Rye. He declared that
this record had been that of a con-
sistent democrat
Mr.. Mcclellan next dwelt upon his
record in the house of representa-
tives. He spoke Of his achievements
there and of his strict attendance to
the duties of the office. He said that
he had given loyal support to Presi-
dent Wilson upon all issues.
The tenth district representative
next attacked the record Of Senator
Lea in politics. He arraigned him
1 For hfc Ca1nnor% oe LIoonor ;y 1o1n a,A
for his election by the republicans to
the United States senate. He declar-
ed that Lea had affiliated with repub-
licans more than he had with demo-
Gratis since his election to the SEN
ate and that he had no claims upon
the democrats, as he had done moth
ing to deserve their gratitude.
The record of Senator Lea in Office
was also severely arraigned. He was
| charged with having been absent
from his seat upon many occasions
when great issues we're submitted to
the vote of the senate. He was held
responsible for the defeat Of the ad-
ministration ship subsidy bill by his
failure to be present when the act
came to a vote in the senate. He
was charged with having been absent
when the immigration and other labor
bills were voted upon. -
Congressman Mcclellan then turned
his batteries upon Patterson. ohare
ing Patterson with having an even
worse record for absenteeism in his
six years in congress The ex-gover-
nor, he said, had served two years for
which he drew $4,000 in salary from
the United States government, and
had actually been present only one
day. His name was even stricken
from the rolls for failure to attend
upon congress.
Mr.. Mcclellan said that Patterson,
as governor, had violated every
pledge that Patterson, the candidate,
had ever made to the people. He said
that he had disrupted and almost de-
stroyed the democratic party in Ten
nessee and assuredly had no claim
upon the gratitude Of that organiza-
ton. In the course of his speech Mr.
Mcclellan paid high tribute to Gov
Rye.
The speech was we'll received and
the Memphian made favorable i'm
J preston upon his hearers.
