GREEK PREMIER
 RESIGNS; PARIS
 CENSURES KlnC

Athens, Oct. 6-The resi- signation of Premier Venizelos was altogether un- expected. He conversed with the correspondent of The Associated Press
 at noon today in a manner which in dicated that utmost confidence in the
 secure course Of his government. Meanwhile King Constantine came
 to Athens from Tatoi, the summer
 residence of the royal family and summoned the premier to the palace. After tense interview, in which
 there was the p1ainest speaking, the premier proceeded to the chamber of deputies and announced that he
 had again disagreed with the King, on should present his esignation and that of his cabinet. This announcement led to a scene
 of wild disorder in the chamber. The city is greatly excited. This is much discussi on of the formation of the coalition cabinet
 After his. conference with King Con.
 stantine, Premier Venizelos returned to the chamber of deputies and made
 a statement of the causes of the dis agreement. He then announced the resi- ignation of the entire cabinet. Sit tings of the chamber were suspended Paris, Oct. 6.-The reported breach between King Constantine of Greece and Premier Venizelos, resulting in the resignation of the prime minister, was totally unexpected and has caused
 painful surprise. French editorial writers have hard things to say of the King, whose German connections all ways have made him the object of some suspicion on the part of those. who sought the aid of Greece for the allied cause. It is considered here that while he signed the mobilization order
 and consented to the landing of French troops at Saloniki, he does not want to go to war with Bulgaria, Germany's s ally.
 It is pointed out that Bulgaria wants SaIoniki and Germany covets Asia Mis@or. The papers assert that Bull
 garia, in siding with Germany, is dig ging the grave of pellenism.'' It is admitted that the task of the Anglo
 French forces has become harder, but
 the assertion is made with equal en1- strength. A Bulgarian attack upon
 Serbia is expected soon.
 All writers upon foreign affairs, agree
 They recall that last April King Con then was premier, offered the military
 co-operation of lGreece upon the ground that no Greek territory be ced- ed to Bulgaria.
 London, Oct 6-The position, taken by King Constantine, of Greece, in his interview with Premier Venizelos is said by the Athens correspondent of l the Havas Agency to have been that he could not pursue to the end the 1101irv of t+Ia,o -Var1izoI0r ,,o I1i17

Baptist Meeting.

Rev. H. H. Drake is conducting a
meeting at the Baptist Church this week
with very large attendance and pros
poets of great aud good results. On
Sunday night hundreds of people could
not find seats and had to return home.
There were no services at some of the
other churches, and ministers and other
denominations of the city are cooper
ating with the Baptist congregation in
the work. Rev. Drake is preaching a
series of special sermons. He is min
lister OF extraordinary ability and fine
personal character, and during his stay
in Uniou City, which has been for only
"a few years, has made very fine i'm
preston on the people of Union City.
He is tireless worker and intensely in
terested and devoted to the cause of
Christ. Our people are very much in
terested in his work, and no doubt
much and lasting good will come from
the meeting. Services are held twice a
day, morning and evening.

Mrs. Alice A. Hollomon.

Another pisneer citizen OF Kenton
has answered the last great summons
and emphasizes the fact that a large
proportion of deaths have been
among our old folks.
Mrs. Alice A. Hollomon died at
her home on Quality Hill Wednes-
day morning at o'clock, after a
short illness of only ten days, con-
tributed to congestive chills.
Mrs. Hollomon was the daughter
of Samuel and Nancy Zaricor who
were pioneer settlers of Gibson
County. She was born June 20,
1S43. In 1853 Yorkville Academy
was erected and she spent two or
three years under the tuition OF the
Rev. Mike Lyles. In October, 1866,
she was married to Thomas Hollo-
mon, who with his brother, Jno. W.
HolIomon, was engaged in general
merchandise in Kenton. His death
occurred in 1872, leaving his widow
with two sons and one daughter tc

The Mcclellan and Patterson open

The Mcclellan and Patterson open
ing speeches have been read by 2
great many interested citizens Mt
Patterson has always been a good
speaker, probably the best orator in
Tennessee since the days of Senator
Tavlor. He is, however, as far as
we can gather, not man of pro-
nounced progressive convictions. In
other words he does not assure us
that he favors the Presidents policy
of a aforementioned merchant
marine, or that he would not favor
a ship subsidy. He says he does not
fear a strong government. Ii that
means that he is not in sympathy
with the Presidents ideas of the
initiative and referendum, he cannot
claim much along the line Of pro-
gressive Democracy. Mr.. Patterson
certainly does not treat the Demo-
cratic voters in the State with much
confidence when he indorses the pri-
mary plan which displaces the coun-
ty committees and supplants them
with subcommittees appointed by the
State committee. This is a species
of Capitalization, which we have al
ways had an idea that Mr.. Patterson
leans to. We do not believe Mr..
Patterson insists on this for person,
al advantage, but the principle is
wrong. Mr.. Mcclellan, too, makes
some broad comments in his speech,
which might consistently be left out.
We are not defending Mr.. Lea.
Goodness knows, Lea cared very little
for his party when he left the Sen
ate and the President in a critical
time to take care of his fences in
Tennessee. He left when the mer-
chant marine bill was up for pas
sage, and was equally as guilty as the
seven who opposed it by absenting
himself. But when Mr.. Mcclellan
arraigns him for his fight on Lorimer
he is making a blunder. Mcclellan
knew Lorimer was guilty and every
body knew it, and the Senator who
fails to show his hand in the elimi-
nation of corrupt men from the
greatest legislative body in the
world is a weakling and coward.
Too much of that whitewash bust
ness is going on in Congress. There
seems to be a disposition and, more
than that, sort of silent under
standing that members will protect
each other when somebody goes
wrong. This was demonstrated in
the Mulhall charges, which involved
a score or more of Senators and Con-
gressmen. The investigation was
made but never brought to light. 1t
was shelved to protect the guilty.
If such things as these are to be
hushed up then Lea or anybody else
is serving Tennessee and every other
State in the Union when the eX-
posture is made.
