so it could be used as an excuse
for calling an extra session at an
expense of $50, 900 of thepeople's
money and that this extra session
is in reality to be called for no
other purpose than to give Lea a
primary which shall enable him
to perpetuate himself in the
United States senate? Don't
! you know that Luke Lea has
been, first a Democrat, then an
Independent, then a Republican,
and now a Democrat again and
in spite of all he stands at the
head of the honor roll in the
counsels of the Democratic ad-
ministration of this state? Don't
you know that while he may be
a good fellow" personally, he
is politically a fostering sore, an
unclean leper, whose contaminat-
ing touch spreads rottenness
wherever placed, and leaves a
trail of slime in its wake? Don't
you remember to have read in
holy writ that the tables of the
money changers Were'overturned
and they were driven from the
temple? Isn't it high time that
these jugglers of the finances,
the welfare and the destini S of
the people of Tennessee should
have their tables overturned and
themselves driven from capitol
hill by the man who has been
chosen to rule over the state
these two years. Do you want
an extra session or don't you?
Do you want some Democrats to
have a look in" or shall we go
on doing like Mr.. independent
Republican Democrat Lea and
others who have their names on
the payroll to keep them in line,
say? Let Tom Rye show the
people of this state that he has a
chin by stating emphatically
that he does not intend to plunge
his hand in the treasury of the
state at the behest of Lea in
order that the baby senator may
have an extra session to cut lis
teeth on.

APPOINTMENTS BY
P0STOFF|CE HEAD
Sims Has Bill Looking Toward
Civil Service Ex-
tension.

Before leaving for Tennessee
for the summer Congressman T.
w. Sims outlined a bill which he
will urge at the next session of
congress. giving the postmaster
general appointment authority.
The Tennessee congressman
would have the President reliev-
ed of the burden of naming the
$500 postmasters, whose com.
missions require his signature,
and believe that once this plan
was inaugrated it would result in
all postmasters being eventually
placed under civil service. The
bill on it's face, and as at first
proposed, seems to raise merely
a question of whether the post
master-general should be given
such authority, but there is
much more involved than this.
1t is the purpose of Judge Sims
to reduce to a minimum what he
regards as the present great evil
of traficking in patronage by
senators and members of the
house. Persons who have
studied the situation intimately
are said not to understand the
proportions of the evil" Judge
Sims has seen the workings of
the system at close hand over a
period of several years, and he
wants it to end. He realizes, it
is pointed out, that it would net
be entirely by this bill but holds
that it would help materially.
The plan proposed is for the
postmaster-general to go over
the list of applicants for the
various postmasterships, and
through the same instrumental
that are used in naming post

succeed in preventing an ade

Following is the article to
which Mr.. Fitch refers:
Mr.. Farmer, do you know that
the so-called ubiquitous back
tax law" which has just been
repealed was a law by which
railroads, corporations and large
property owners could be made
to pay their proportion of the
states revenue? Do you know
that if it had stayed on the
statute books until doom's day,
it would never have touched or
affected you? Do you know
that the passage of the bill to
repeal this law has created a de-
deficit in the states resources
and that the remedy suggested
is to raise the assessment on
your land so that in addition to
the burden you already bear,
you will have to pay taxes that
the state has hitherto collected
through her revenue agents,
principally from corporations
and individuals of large means
in the city? Do you know that
the assessment bill providing for
the raising of your tax assess
ment was purposely left out at
the very close of the legislature

Lillian Gish had an amusing exper.
fence recently while participating in
a scene of ''The Lily and the Rose"
She was approached by a poor mid

quickly responded and gave her some

sneered, and contended that Miss
Gish should at least give her one of
her diamond rings, as she had three
