We are not for Roosevelt now.
If we had been for him before
the recent Progressive conven-
ton we could now have nothing
but contempt for the mana man
who threw down the friends who
left their party for him but if
Theodore Roosevelt had beeDN
president of the United States
at the time the present Mexican
crisis arose out of the Villa raid
there would have been no raid
and no crisis; no Carrizal.
Go back a little further and
there would have been no Vera
Cruz and old Huerta would have
saluted the flag with twenty-one
hundred guns if Teddy had told
him to do it.
We hate to say it, but it ap-
pears that Teddy is made of
sterner stuff than Wilson.
Teddy would have told Huerta,
Villa, Carranza and the German
Kaiser, too right where to get
off," and they would have gotten
off right there. If they hadn't
but they would.
With Roosevelt at the wheel it
wouldn't have been near so far
to Tipperary.

THE HEADLINES

Long ago the public realized
that strong, bold headlines over
news stories did not make a
yellow" newspaper, as some
tried to believe, and managing
editors of leading newspapers
throughout the country, daily
and weekly. are beginning to
realize that the headlines are
necessary if the paper would
gain and hold prestige among its
readers.
The old theory that the readers
read everything in the newspap-
err has been consigned to the
scrap heap in these days of the
rural routes and daily newspap-
ers. The busy man, who is the
man of Importance whether he
be farmer, business or profess
sional man, has not the time to
read everything and so he reads
only the news stories and the
advertisements that attract his
attention. A strong headline, in
bold type, whether it be over a
news story or an advertisement,
will draw and hold the attention
of the busy man.
| Headlines have much to do
with the making of the modern
newspaper. Advertisers, as we'll
as editors and reporters, should
take advantage of this fact, use
attractive headlines, and derive
the benefits.

A NEW CONSTITUTION
Why The People Of Henry County Should Be Especially
Interested In The Mooemen.

Tennesseans will vote August the proposition of
whether or.not this commonwealth shall hold constitutional
convention.
Henry county showing very little interest in
the matter way the other and yet the people of this
county should be as much concerned probably
the people of any other county.
Today Henry countans do not know what road law
should be in force the county The question of whether
the Henry county law automatically repealed by the
Robertson Haywood county act has been settled
Why should it be necessary for the people of Henry
county go the State Legislature to get road law
repealed?
Why should not the county court have the authority to
repeal the law after the people had voted overwhelmingly
against it?
If that authority rested with the county court the road
law would have been repealed Not in the court would
have voted against repeal after every precinct the
county had voted in favor of the change.
But the has not that authority and so the county
will continue to work under the old law seems, whether it
was repealed by the RobertsonHaywood act not until
the Legislature decides to repeal it,
Things will remain in this condition counties must
the State Legislature get local laws passed repealed
until new constitution is adopted in Tennessee.
On August people will have opportunity to put
their stamp of dsapprova this cumbersome method OF
doing things Let them do it by voting in favor of
constitution.
It that the present system be remeded SO that
law be enacted apply county and then have
dozen other counties fall under its provision by subse
quent
It that officials be stopped from drawing salaries
intended only for like officials in other counties because the
county which these officials hold jobs happened to fall
under the provisions of passed for the benefit of the
other county.
Tennessee being robbed under the system and
her citizens poweress protest except the baobox
on August g.
All voters should remember that nothing is to be
med down their throas that the trainers of the
suion must be elected directly by the people, that each
article of the constitution must be submitted to the
people for approval rejection that they the
good sections offered and reject the bad ones.
Tennessee and especially Henry county, has everything
to gain and nothing lose by constitutional convention

We were glad to see the Paris
boys in the Murray militia COM
pany Saturday night. Glad and
sorry, too. Glad that Parislans
have red blood in their veins and
are neither afraid nor ashamed
to answer the call of their country.

A NEW CONDITION

Those newspapers that refuse
to let the dead past bury its
dead" and continue to dig up the
past by saying that Gov. Rye
should have been allowed to name
the chairman of the state Demo-
cratic committee seem to care
very little for party harmony.
If the action of the committee,
in electing it's own chairman in
stead of allowing the Governor to
appoint that official, hurt the
party, all of this criticism that
certain members of the State
press are INDUCING in will not
help matters in the least.
The point made by these agi-
tators is that it has been Gus
tom for many years to allow the
party nominee for Governor to
name the chairman of the COM
mittee, and then they insinuate,
in an underhanded way, that
Congressman Mcclellan had a
hand in the election of Judge
Hill.
They seem to forget that Con-
gresham Mcclellan is the Demo-
cratic nominee for a bigger office
than Governor, and that if Gov.
Rye had any right to butt in"
on the committee that Mr.. Nc
Kellar has a better right by vir-
/
tue of the nomination he holds,
and which he received at the
hands of the Democratic voters
in a primary election.
A new condition confronted
the committee when it met for
organization. For the first time
lin the history of Tennessee a
United States Senator was to be
elected by the people, and, ac-
cording to the argument advanc-
ed by the untra-Rye element, the
nominee for Senator had just as
much, even more, right to pick
the chairman than did the nomi-
nee for Governor.
The Partisan does not believe
that any outsider should name
the chairman of the State COM
mittee. The committee should
choose it's own chairman, and if
a man is chosen that is fair and
not antagonistic to any party
nominee which is true of Judge
Hill nobody has any kick COM
ling,

Those who would point the
finger Of scorn at some of the
Paris and Henry county boys
who did not enlist should remem-
Der that it is often as patriotic to
ramain at home as to go to the
front. Outsiders cannot always
know the causes that influenced
many to remain at home.

OUR SOLDIER BOYS

UUn SULUlEn DO .
Troop trains carrying militia to
Mexican border have been pas
sing through Paris during the
past week. The militiamen have
been greeted by gay crowds,
who talked a little. joked little
scoffed a little and bid them a
merry goodbye, wishing all
good luck. The crowds did not
take a very serious view of the
matter, which was well for the
soldier boys. The crowds did
not know the boys personally.
But there was considerable
change Saturday night when the
Murray company of militia, with
a dozen Paris boys as members,
came through Paris en- route to
Fort Thomas. When the people
saw the local boys in uniform
some of the gayety disappeared,
and while they put up a bold
front in wishing the soldiers
good luck, many probably had
trouble in holding back the tears,
and forced smiles hid many SER
ious faces.
The soldier boys, too, may
have suppressed their feelings to
a certain extent, although all OF
them appeared gay and happy.
Some Paris mothers were at the
train Saturday night to bid their
boys goodbye. Some fathers
were there. Some brothers and
sisters too. Many friends were
there, and pang of regret
probably fastened upon the
hearts of many as they claspeo
hands with the brave young men
who had responded to the presi.
dents call.
Saturday night the Mexican
crisis was brought home to the
people of Paris as it had moi
been before.
It's a great thing to fight for
ones country. The people OF
the United States are thanking
God that they have men who are
willing to brave the dangers OF
war in defense of the Stars and
stripes. The people Of Henry
county are thanking God that a
number of our own boys have
the courage to go to the front
and to battle for their country,
even though they had to en-.
list in a Kentucky company, but
after all war is a serious thing,
and we will all be glad when the
day of universal disarmament
arrives and wars are no longer
necessary.

Independence is the rock upon which the United States
has been built 1t is the rock upon which stands and will
ever stand Therefore it is fitting that Independence Day
should be celebrated by all who love liberty and freedom
And especially this year, when nation is confronted
with such peculiar and trying Mexican crisis
and the world the waters should this day be
celebrated On July Americans should and did thank God
that this country because of the wise and patriotic of
the greatest statesman that has the presidential chair
since the Civil War; has been able remain at peace while
practically all the balance of the world has been in death
struggle America has stood for peace but peace with
honor and until the end of time America will continue to
so stand.
One hundred and forty years have passed since those
patriots those and daring spirits of 1776 signed
