When the newspaper editors OF
Middle Tennessee met in Pulaski re-
Gently, in the Middle Tennessee Ed
itors' League, they might have been
faint-hearted in many ways, on
some subjects which were not reso-
luted upon, but at least it can be
said for them that they were not
frightened by the Anti-Pass Propag-
anda, which would lead us to be-
lieve that the very souls, the honor
and perhaps the existence Of the
country press now hinges on es-
pousal Of or opposition to free pass
Is on railroads. These editors rec
ognizing the facts that the free pass
system has been the greatest and
most invaluable factor in promoting
agricultural and livestock interests
Of the county and that the exchange
Of courtesies Cor it might be called
the swapping Of stocks in trade be-
tween two businesses) between the
railroads and the newspapers is a
legitimate and honorable one, adopt
ed the following resolutions:
Be it further resolved that the
press is giving Its best labor to the
advancement Of Tennessee and her
people, that we pledge ourselves to
continue our efforts to promote ev-
cry line Of industrial advancement,
the educational, agricultural, live
stock, good roads, better schools and
allied interests; that we thank the
University Of Tennessee for sending
their representatives here and pledge
our hearty cooperation in their ef-
fort to advance the agriculture Of
Tennessee.
Be 1t further resolved that we
understand and know the motives
that prompt politicians to raise the
howl and cry against free passes,
some of these pewter politicians
having been recently discredited by
the people. We recognize our right
to continue to promote farmers in
stitutes, good road meetings, etc,
and we see no wrong in the ex-
change Of courtesies between rail-
roads and newspapers and the issu-
ance Of free passes to farmers OF
Tennessee that they may attend the
various farmers Institutes.
