TENNESSEE'S NEW GOVERNOR

couragement to every lawful, ben
eficial and progressive line of
state activity.
With the aid and cooperation
of the heads of the different de-
partments of the state, shall en-
deaver to bring about such meth
DDS and plans of administration as
will tend to make certain that
every dollar Of the people's money
shall be honestly expended and
faithfully accounted for, and to
this end | shall at some time in the
future submit recommendations
touching questions affecting the
fiscal operations of the state as
well as matters pertaining to the
general welfare.
During the discussions preced-
ing the November election en-
deavored to make known my
views on certain important ques-
tions, the consideration of which
had been emphasized and demand
ed by the platform declarations of
the party Ihad the honor to rep
resent. That election has come
and gone; the will of the people
has been registered at the ballot
box; and now, when every mo-
tive or reason for misrepresenta-
ton has passed, standing on the
threshold of my administration,
looking in at the open door of op-
portunity and action, | desire here
and now to reiterate and reaffirm
every statement made from the
stump regarding the issues of the
campaign and my Interpretation
and understanding of what was
meant by these platform declara-
tions. These views as expressed
then will be the beacon lights to
guide me, and our platform pledg-
es shall be the standard of my
conduct in the difficult task set be-
fore 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
enforce the laws, and this must be
done if the enactment of laws can
bring about that result. This
pledgeto people should be made
good, not merely because we are
lcommitted to the policy of law en-.
forcement as a party, but for high.
er reason, and that is because it is
right, and | trust and believe thai
we have the courage to "dare te
do right"
Let us here and now resolve
that a new precedent shall be es
tablished in Tennessee politics by
discarding and repudiating the
idea that platforms are made fol
campaign purposes alone-or il
other words, ito get in on" Le
us solemnly declare that hence
forth a platform pledge shall be {
sacred covenant between the pub
lie servant and the people he rep
iresents, and that it is dishonorablt
to break that covenant; so tina
the public servant that wilfull.
disregards his obligation shall bt

representation. Let us keep faitl

NEW YORK, June 22.-Harry Thaws seventh attempt to gain his freedom since his arrest nine years ago this month for the murder of Stanford White, was begun with the selection Of a jury to inquire into his sanity. If the jurors decide in his favor, and Justice Hendrick, presiding, who has the power to reverse the verdict ac- cepts it, Thaw will obtain permanent release from Matteawan Insane Asy- lum. where he was incarcerated after being acquitted of the murder at the second trial, and from which he es- capped in 1913.
 Tomorrow John Stanchfield, his at torney, will outline his case and the taking of testimony will begin. Thaw has about fifty witnesses, including a number of alienists, to prove that he is now sane and entitled to freedom. The state also has a large number to testify against him. Among the lat ter will probably be Wm Trayers Jerome, Thaw's prosecutor in previous trials. Thaw said after the jury was completed, he is entirely satisfied with it.

FRICTION EXISTS AMONG
 LEADERS
Carranza and Villa Agencies De- ny That Any Friction Exists in Their Respective Camps; Ru- morS Still Current.

WASHINGTON, June 22.- Denials of friction in the Carranza ranks, or of dissension among the Villa leaders were repeated by the representative agencies of the Mexican factions. United States officials had no reports from their own representatives but believe still that the trouble between Obregon and Carranza has not been healed and that the departure of An geles from the camp of Villa, at this time, was an important military if not political loss. Reports say that Con zales, who was marching against Mex leo City and who ordered a halt until Carranza reorganizes his cabinet. has gone ahead and is now within a few miles Of the old capital Communica- tion behind him to Vera Cruz is cut.
 This development is regarded as ominous in official quarters. Carran- ga authorities at Vera Cruz claim the lines were cut by Zapata forces but other information received by the United States government indicates that Gonzales cut his own communi- cations behind him. According to Of- ncial information Carranza refused to take advise from Obregon and ac- cepted the resignations of some cabi- net ministers. whose retention was in- sisted upon by Obregon
 l The action of Gonzales seems to in- dicate he is in symjathy with Obre- gon. General Angeles did not pass through here en route to Boston. h. formation is meagre as to his plans,
 though rumors are current that he is
 really in the United States to discuss
 with prominent MeXicans plans for the inauguration of a new movement that will have no nucelus in the Villa II Zapata troops.
 | Representations have been made by the United States to authorities in
 Mexico City and Vera Cruz insisting
 that the lives and interests of foreign
 CTS must be protected in connection
 with any change of authority in th'
 capital It is not yet known whether
 the Villa-Zapata troops, said to nun
 ber 10000, in Mexico City will offel resistance to Gonzales or eyacuat' peacefully as has been the case iI
 previous occupations when the cit! changed hands.

AMATEUR KNIFE WIELDER IS
 CENSURED
Dr. w. L. Rodman, President A. M. A., Says Amateur Surg cons Activities Should Be Very Greatly Limited.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22-Dr w. L Rodman. of Philadelphia, the newly elected President of The Med ical Association, who delivered his inaugural address at today's session of the annual meeting o' the Asso- citation, introduced his address with reference to some of the evils in the surgical profession
 "In every community. he said, "men are operating who have no right to take human life into their hands. This does not apply to the general practitioner who, in an emergency, and to the best of his ability. operates in an attempt 10 save life. but to those who, for gain, undertake that which should be done only by the skillful surgeon. Surgery is a special science, extra hazardous in its nature, and hence the public has a right 10 demand of the surgeon the very high est physical, mental, and moral equipment"
 In the eradication of this evil of the incompetent surgeon Dr. Rodman said that the American College of Surgeons, which was organized only two years ago, was to be heartily congratulated upon the progress made
 "The positive stand the college has taken on fee-splitting alone more than iustihes its existence" he said This evil has become intolerablet and a wave of protest is rising throughout the land which should and we believe will, oyerwhelm the offenders
 "Let us at once apply the axe tC the root, make this nefarious practice impossible. and drive from the sur gical temple those who dehle it' Referring to the efforts which tho Association had made in the elimina ton Of patent medicine frauds. Dr Rodman said the fight had involved legal proceedings which the AssOcia tion was combating V vigorously, bu that it was interesting to note tha concerns with new preparations fo the market were coming to the Asso ciation's experts for endorsement The Council of Pharmacy and Chem istry now had in its laboratories threl chemists who give their whole tim

Here Is the Truth in
Regard to Seaman's Bill

Much that is not true has been

Following are the facts in re-

The Dollar line Of steamers,

Three OF these are in the

All steamships in the coastwise
trade are obliged to be American
