ReorqanisIna Tennessee Troops.

Reorganiktng Tennessee troops.
The Third Tennessee. Regiment Is
being reorganized under the new ma
tional defense act, according to ad-
vices from Pharr, Texas. While this
was passed by congress last summer.
the Tennessee regiments, as we'll az
most OF the other state troops, have
been operating under the old militia
law insofar as the character Of their
organizations are concerned.
Under the new national defense,
companies are allowed several more
non-commissioned officers than under
the old organization system, and op-
portunity is thus afforded for the pro-
motion of deserving enlisted men.
Under this act, company may now
have nine sergeants, whereas 1t was
allowed only six under the old act.
Under the reorganization, each com
pany OF the Third will be allowed one
first sergeant, one supply sergeant
one mess sergeant and six duty SER
geants. In the past, company has
had one first sergeant, one quartermas.
ter sergeant and six duty sergeants.
Each company, under the old law. had
but six corporals, but now may have
eleven. Then each company may also
have, under the new law, nineteen first
class privates. Under the old bill there
was no distinction among privates

RUBY-THROAT'S NEST ELUSIVE.
II Requires Patience to Find the Re-

If you have ever set out deliberately
to find a ruby-throated humming

have done better than have. 1t GER

has done 1t Che showed me one of the
nests by way Of proof. says you must
employ the methods of wild bee hunt
ors, and by a series of observations of
the bird as 1t leaves its flower feeding
ground you may ultimately reach its
home.
The nest is a beautiful bit of bird
architecture, saddled on limb, and
plastered outside with gray lichen to
color it protectively. This lichen
seems to be fastened on with fiber
from caterpillar cocoons, and the in

Is soft and wOolly.

BE TRUE AMERICANS

If those naturalized citizens of such
loud prot German sentiment, who are
opposing the Presidents protests
against Germany's unnatural and in
human submarine warfare, cannot APP
preciate the principles for which this
country stands, and are still so much
infatuated with the system of govern
ment which they left to reap the
broader individual freedom and bet
ter opportunity for material advance
ment afforded them here, why don't
they return and do their fighting for
their dear Kaiser on the other side :?
If they cannot be loyal American cit
liens, we can very cheerfully spare
them.
Those native-born American citi-
zens and political demagogs who are
pandering to this element for their
votes should receive the merited re-
buke of every loyal American in the
land Genuine Americanism has nc
sympathy with any movement or at
tempt to foreignize or Germanize
Congress or any other department of
our Government. In this connection
the people of Texas ought to let Gov
ernor Colquitt, who is making fla
grant bid for the naturalized German
vote in his attempt to break into the
United States Senate, feel the weight
of their resentment and contempt for
such politics.

county.
A majority of the lie delegates to
the convention were instructed for
Nipper and Stanfill, but an attempt
was made by party leaders to elect
R. H. Davis of Fredericktown in place
of one of them. Anticipation of this
fight brought out virtually all the
delegates elected from the IL coun-

A large number of candidates for
State offices were present and in adj

A NEW DOCTRINE OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW

United States, Senator Hamilton
Lewis of Illinois, in a speech before
the Atlantic Bar Association of At
lanta, Ca, on the 22nd, proposed a
defensive alliance of all the countries
of the Western Hemisphere as the
only means by which the United
States could avoid early conflict with
countries of Europe and Asia. "Such
an alliance" said he, must carry with
it new doctrine of international law,
ordaining that any country violating
the fundamental rights of the repub-
lican form of government would be
punished by the combined resent
ment of the whole Western Hemis-
phere."
The idea is attractive from an
American point Of view, but TO make
such a sentiment international in a
world sense would need in some meas
ure the sanction of the more powerful
governments of Europe, which with
their monarchial heredities and claims
of rule by divine right would be diff
cult if not impossible to obtain; while
the provincial relations of our strong
neighbor to the north, Canada, with
Great Britain, would preclude her
joining the alliance. This would
leave the whole responsibility of en-
forcing the sentiment on the United
States and the negligible support of
our South American Republics. 1t
would be a pretty large undertaking,
one to be gradually brought about by
moral force and the natural growth
of democracy rather than an assump-
ton of punishment by force for viola
tions of the fundamental rights Of
the republican form of government
on the part Of other powers. .sa,

REPUBLICAN LONGING

Republicans are evidently fully con-
WINGED that there is no chance for the
election of any of their men who have
been named and are being Endorsed
by State Republican Conventions and
voted for in primary elections as pos
sible nominees for President, and al
most with one accord they gaze with
longing eyes toward Justice Hughes
of the United States Supreme Court,
hoping that by some twist or turn of
the wheel the Republican National
Convention may nominate him. But
Justice Hughes is in a position where
he cannot encourage them in their
longing. He would be outraging the
dignity and proprieties that hedge
about the judicial gown to say that
he would accept the Republican NOM
nation for President or to intimate
how he stands on any of the moment
GUS and gravely delicate questions
clouding cur domestic and foreign re-
lations.
Republicans are willing to accept
him, however, sight an unseen, as
the boys say, rather than risk any OF
the Republican statesmen who have
their lightning-rods up for chance
stroke, but they haven't the least as
surance that the Gowned Justice
would accept the doubtful honor il
he were nominated. Besides a com,
Portable salary and a life-tenure he
holds a seat on the most exalted anC
powerful judicial bench in the coun'
try, and he would hesitate in long
communion with his innermost con.
seriousness before relinquishing these
to follow the ignis-fatuus light of 6
Republican nomination to defeat anC
private life. Our Republican friends
sure find themselves in a quandary.

VERSATILE CONGRESSMAN

Johnny Garner, as the folks down
in the Fifteenth Texas District call
their Congressman, is a versatile
chap.
One day he attended the funeral of
comparative stranger. When the
funeral party arrived at the grave,
one of the family asked Garner if he
wouldn't say few words. The Con-
gresham was half frightened at the
request, for, accustomed though he
was to making speeches, trying to
say just the right thing extempor-
aneously at the grave of compare
tive stranger is something else again.
But there was no way out and he did
his best.
Garner is not especially beautiful
to look upon, but his language was
polished and highly acceptable as he
mentioned lovely traits of the dece-
dent that all the sorrowing friends
had not even heard of. When he fin
ished the only thing that prevented a
tumult Of applause was the solemnity
of the occasion. On the way back to
town Garner rode in the carriage with
