Pen is MIGHTIER

The following from the Men,
phis News-Scimitar gives an
other instance of where the pen
is mightier than the sword:
The editor of the Port AL
legheny Reporter denounced a
citizen of that town named Smith
as a liar in the columns of his
paper, and instead of settling
the trouble in the good old way,
this citizen, who was defeated
in his candidacy for state sem
ator, resolved to sell out and
leave the town. He had been a
citizen of Port Allegheny for 20
years, and that he was of some
financial consequence is shown
by his public statement, in which
he declares that the Smith opera
house is closed to the public and
will be dismantled, no more lots
or burial places will be sold in
Fairview cemetery, the water
works company plant, which he
owns, will be disposed of to
strangers, and as soon as he can
get rid of his holdings he will
shake the dust of the city from
his feet and go into exile. That
EDITORS pen was mightier than
half a dozen swords.

ROBERT EMMETT BURKE

The press of the country has
been inclined to poke considerable
fun at Robert Emmett Burke, a
delegate to the national Demo-
cratic convention from the State
of Illinois, who cast his lone vote
against the denomination of
Woodrow Wilson.
If Burke cast his vote against
the president in order to gain
some cheap noteriety, then the
ridicule and condemnation are
justified, but those who would
cast reflections upon him because
of his action, should first ascer-
tain the circumstances that
prompted that action.
Burke may have had good rea-
son for his oppososition to Will
son. He probably disagrees
with some of the policies of the
administration and if this is true
there is no reason why he should
have voted against his convic-
tions.
If Robert Emmett Burke voted
against the denomination of
Woodrow Wilson because of his
convictions that the policies of
the administration were not the
correct policies; if he voted con-
scientiously, he is to be CON-
mended rather than condemned.
Both friends and enemies of the
president must admire a man
who has the courage of his
convictions.

THE BENTON COUNTIAN

For many months, or, to be ex-
act, since the demise of the Citi-
zen, Camden has been cut off
from newspaper communication
with the outside world-we ex-
pect the esteemed Chronicle to
deny this statement-but there
came to The Parisian's exchange
table this week the maiden edi-
ton of the Benton Countian, pub.
lished in the Benton county
capital.
The Benton Countian is a live,
breezy sheet, six columns, four
pages, all home-print, full of late
news and spicy comment. w. w.
O'Guin, formerly OF HohenWald,
is editor and publisher, and while
we are not acquainted with Mr..
O'Guin he must be an experience
ed newspaper man judging
from the appearance of the Ben
ton Countian.
In his "foreword" Mr.. O'Guin
states that "Our chief policy is
to help further the interests of
every section of this county and
to give the people a good, re-
liable newspaper that will become
an established factor in the
county's welfare. This is the
platform that succeeds in the
newspaper game, and The Pa
risian wishes Mr.. O'Guin much
success with the Benton Countian
"a good paper in a good town.

GREAT ONES DEAD

In his keynote speech at the
Republican national convention
Chairman Harding called the roll
of the dead Republican leaders.
Lincoln, Grant, Mckinley and
the others, but not once did he
mention a living Republican,
which caused Irwin Cobb to say
that, although he was making no
deductions himself, some might
deduct the fact that all the great
Republicans were dead.

THE COMMITTEE

The reelection of Judge L. D.
Hill, of Sparta, as chairman of
the State Democratic Executive
Committee, by a vote of IL to 6,
over Thad A. Cox, of Johnson
City, nominated as the choice of
Gov. Rye, caused considera BILE
comment in political circles.
Judge Hills election, however,
will meet with the approval of a
large majority of the Democrats
of the commonwealth. He has
served for two years as chairman
and his services have given salts
faction. If Gov. Rye entered
into a combination to defeat him,
the Governor was in a mighty
small business, playing an I'M
necessary and, it seems to US,
un-Democratic part in the matter.
The overwhelming vote against
Cox, who was put up as Rye's
choice, shows that the members
of the committee are beginning
to think for themselves, and that
they refuse longer to be dictated
to by outsiders, even though the
outsider in this instance was the
Governor of the State and the
Democratic nominee for re-lec.
ton.
Friends of Hon. W. Travis
kennerly, of Knoxville, former
ly of the old Fourteenth district
of Henry county, were pleased
to read in the daily press where
he cast his vote in the committee
meeting for Judge Hill and
against the combination that at.
tempted to put the hooks" tc
the chairman.
Judge Hill has made and will
again make a good chairman OF
the State committee. It is well
for the party that he was again
named the official head of the
Democracy in Tennessee.

Memphis is the city it is today,

would be to nominate and elect
him Trustee without opposition.

the United States today has
measured up to the best ira
ditions of a great office.
He has been wise with a wis
dom that is stepped in the ira
ditions of his country, with a
wisdom that has been disciplined
by training and broadened by
instruction.
He has been prudent with the
prudence of one who has within
his hands the destiny of a hun
dred million people.
He has been firm with the
frmness that proceeds from deep
conviction, with the firmness
that is grounded in a duty we'll
defined.
He has been courageous with
the courage that places country
above self, with the courage
that follows duty wherever it
may lead.
He has been dignified with the
dignity that is self-forgetting
and self-respecting, with the
dignity that conseryes the majes-
ty of the greatest Office in the
world.
He has been patient with the
patience which believes that
truth crushed to earth will rise
again, with the patience that can
endure and wait, watch and
pray, for the certain vindication
of justice, humanity and right.
He has been patriotic with a
patriotism that has never wa.
vered, a patriotism that is as
pure and strong as the faith
that moved the fathers when
they made our country free.
No President since the civil
war has had as crucial problems
to solve; and no President has
displayed a grasp more sure, a
craftsmanship more profound.
Assailed by the wolves of
privilege, he has pulled their
claws and drawn their teeth.
Assaulted by partisan envy, he
has shamed his traducers into
silence and made friend and foe
go forward together in the paths
of national progress.
He has fired our patriotism
with a new ardor; he has breath
ed into our ancient traditions a
new vigor and a new life.
He has added strength to
Americas courage and mingled
mercy with Ameaica's strength.
He has fastened the brakes of
justice upon the wheels of power:
he has lifted the mists from the
temple where our liberties are
enshrined.
And when the history of these
days comes to be written, and
the children of tomorrow read
their nations story, when time
shall have dispelled all miscon-
ception, and the years shall have
rendered their impartial verdict,
one name will shine in golden
splendor upon the page that is
blackened with the tale of
Europe's war, one name will
represent the triumph of Ameri-
can principles over the hosts of
darkness and of death.
That name will be the name of
the great President, who has
made Democracy proud that he
is Democrat, and made Ameri-
cans proud that he is an
American.
1t will be the name of the
student and the scholar who has
kept his country true to its faith
in a time that tried mems souls:
the name of the statesman who
has championed the cause of
American freedom wherever he
found it oppressed; the name
that carried the torch of progress
to victory again; the name of |
