declarations. These views as express
ed then will be the beacon lights tC
guide me, and our platform pledges
shall be the standard of my conduct
in the difficult task set before me as
governor of a great state, acting under
the powers and limitations of the
constitution and laws by which | must
be governed
AS a party we stand pledged to en-
force the laws, land this must be done if
the enactment of the laws can bring
about that result. This pledge to the
people should be made good, not mere
ly because we are committed to the
policy of law enforcement as a party
but for higher reason, and that is be-
cause it is right, and l trust and be-
lieve that we have the courage Il" o"dare
to do the right.
A SACRED COVENANT
Let us here and now resolve that
new precedent shall be established in
Tennessee politics by discarding and
repudiating the idea that platforms are
made for campaign purposes alone-or
in other words, ''to get in on" Let
us solemnly declare that henceforth a
platform pledge shall be a sacred cove
nant between the public servant and
the people he represents, and that 1t is
dishonorable to break that covenant;
so that the public servant who wilfully
disregards his obligation shall be re-
garded and treated in the same man
ner as the one who procures your prop
erty by fraud and misrepresentation.
Let us keep faith with the people and
we may be assured the people will
keep faith with us.
Deeply sensible of the responsible
ties of the high position to which
have been called, the duties of which
I am about to assume, and conscious
of the fact that without divine assist
ance cannot hope for that measure OF
success desired, humbly appealing to
the throne of God for wisdom to guide
me and for power to meet this great
responsibility, that may render some
beneficial service to the state and her
people, l am now ready to take the
oath of Office.
After the address, the oath of Office
was administered by Chief Justice NJ
N. Neill, and Gen. Tom c. Rye became
Tennessee's Governor.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS

Gov Ryes inaugural address sound
ed good and reads well so we give il
in full that all may have the opportun
ity to read it,
Fellow-C Citizens: We have assem-.
bled for the purpose of formally trans.
ferring the executive branch of the
state government from the hands of a
citizen elected as the representative of
one of the great political parties Of the
state into my Gale and keeping as the
chosen representative of another great
political party.
The trust about to be committed to
me is indeed a sacred one, and when
seal.d by the oath the Constitution
requires shall be taken, shall become
the representative of all the people,
and as such it shall be my purpose to
dedica+emy all to their interests, ,humb-
" consecrating myself to the service
Of the state, indulging the hope that
some good may come to her and her
institutions by reason Of the efforts
shall make to render some service in
return for the honor conferred upon
mo by her citizenship. I sincerely
trust that the same desire, the same
ambition, may inspire every chosen
representative Of the people, to the
end that platform plcuges may be re-
deemed and the states best interests
subserved.
The star of Bethlehem was indeed
the star of hope to fainting, watching
world, and guided by it's dazzling
splendor the wise men Of the East
were permitted to stand in the pres
once Of the living Christ-cnild, the
savior of the world. So may the de-
Termination to do something for
Tennessee be the star of hope that
shall enide our footsteps into paths
that lead to wise and beneficial legis-
lation for the people; that peace on
earth, good will toward men" may be
the anthem that shall greet the ears
Of united people and shall gladden.

Crossville is to have new handle

calling for hickory timber to be deliv-

large or small quantities for which he
offers cash. Mr.. Isbell was here last
week arranging for buying mber and
he will probably start the handle mill

ground to make it profitable to ship
and install the machinery.
H. e. Speyer was here from Algood

September he was in a railroad wreck

that kept him in bed for several weeks
and he is just now beginning to be
able to get about and is yet far from

With the Solons

S-s*$+$$$*4+$++**s++++++*+.;
The one big, overshadowing event Of
last week was the inauguration of Gov
Thos. c. Rye, which event took place
on Friday, in the Ryman Auditorium
in the presence of throng that filled
the great building to overflowing
The ceremonies were simple, short
and impressive. Both houses of the
legislature, members of the supreme
court, and other state officials occu-
pied the stage. Gov. Rye made a
short address, after which he took
the oath of Office, and shortly there
after went to the capitol, where he
shook hands with several hundred
Democrats.
Hooper showed himself in his true
light by refusing to participate in the
ceremonies, a thing never before
known. His reason, as set out at
length in Ex-Gov. Stahlman's lying
Banner, was that the legislature had
unconstitutionally robbed him of ten
days of his term. This position had
no foundation in truth. He was in
augurated Jan. 25th, 1911, and claim
ed he could not be put out of Office
until that date
af hpxr h ycrIr <SSrf
Suppose he had been ick and not in
augurated until April /. Who would
be fool enough to say his successor
would have to wait till that date to
take Office. The man who starts
late loses that much of his time, that's
all; the constitution has nothing to
do with it, except to provide that the
new man takes Office in due time.
Hooper appointed "a men to Office
Friday. Every one of them should
be promptly put out of office, men,
If the offic have to oe abolished. No
fa'rminded man would want to hold
Office under these circumstances, and
embarrass the new governor through
his whole term.
K Judge d. l.. Lansden is not able
to work and certified his inability to
serve during the present term of the
supreme court. Gov. Rye has appoint
ed Frank T. Fancher of Snarta to sit
in Judge Lansden's stead.
Gov. Rye named John S. Denton as
his private secretary, but it is under
stood What the appointment is tenn
porary, and that Mr.. Denton will be
given a higher position later on. Mr..
Denton was secretary to Gov Nc
Millin one term, SO he is thoroughly
familiar with the duties of the posit-
ion
No bills of Importance were passed
last week, only few local bills gett-
ing through. Now that the inaugn-
raticn of Gov. Rye has taken place
no doubt the legislature will get down
to hard work.
II Democrats are half so greedy %
secure Office as the Confusionists hate
to get out. Gov. Rye will have a
trenuous time with the applicants.

pointment from Putnam county should |

very small chances of securing any /
