THE HON. B. 4. ENLOE.

Hon. b. A. Enloe, chairman of the
state railroad commission, who is a
candidate to succeed himself, was in
the city on yesterday. His service
in the past has been painstaking and
efficient, and ms rits the recognition
of another term; and from all indi-
cations he will receive the endorse
ment of the county democracy at
Jonesboro on Saturday Johnson City
Comet.
If Mr.. Enloc could only get his own
forgiveness for the speckled politics
he has been indulging the last few
years, there is no man in Tennessee
who could go before his party with
stronger claims for recognition on
the score of ability and fitness for
the place he holds. Perhaps some
thing is to be said for him because
of the general decentralization follow
ing the entrance of the Hon. M. R..
Patterson into the politics Of the
state, but he has much to answer
for because, with all his signal qual
ifications for leadership he chose TO
follow q disturbing body OF disorgan-
izers instead of standing manfuIiy
for hle party organization, going
with it, if necessary, to temporary de-
feat in order TO occupy front and
potential place when il shall be re-
stored to its former power and pres
tige. Mr.. Enloei is one OF the really
brainy men in Tennessee public hlc
all the more reason why we blame
him for having become an Opportun-
ist.-ChattanOOga Times.
The fact remains that this Organ
ization" had about ruined the party:
and it was only when the party re-
pudiated its alliances and adopted
the very principles for which Enloe
and the other so called "disorgan-
izers" had fought that it was able to
return to power. 1t will take no
backward step, even if the Times
does rave about "speckled politics"
and assert that "the principle of the
custer law came from Russia"
AS the Times admits, "Mr. Enloe is
one of the really brainy men in Ten
nessee public life;" and like the
great Kentuckian he desired, first Of
all, the approval of his own con-
science.

THE COUNTY COURT.

In the election of March % the
people of Washington county, by a
decisive majority, decided against the
work-house levy. An injunction suit
had already been brought by certain
citizens to prevent the collection of
this levy.
The result of The election should
have been accepted in good faith by
the County Court as decisive of its
policy on the matter of a work
house levy; but the wishes of the
people seem to have very little weight
with that body; for at its April term,
by vote of "a to 10, it directed the
employment of counsel to fight the
suit. In other words it proposes to
ignore the plain mandate of the peo-
pie and to use their money to fight
the suit in the hope that the levy
which was attempted to be made in
January can be maintained and the

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE SHIELDS BILL.

The bill offered by Senator Shields
and passed in the senate by vote OF
IS to % has been greatly misunder
stood
The bill provides for developing
navigation and utilization OF the wa
ser power Of the country.
1t j. not the purpose of thc bill. in
any way, to obstruct navigation. On
he other hand Senator Shields has
embodied in his bill special proyis-
ions for the improvement Of naViga
bic streams
1t was Clifford Pinchot who in
augurated the fight against the meas
urc Mir. riHchOt has become a crank
Of late He has ideas. Amy man il
entitled 10 have ideas of his own. but
he should at least apply them in a
considerable way. Clifford Pinchot
ever since the days Of Roosevelt. has
been an extreme cOnservationsi and
he is opposed to the Shields bill be-
cause he feels that it will ruin the
rivers OF the country, will rob many
streams of their natural beauty and
will Obstruct navigation.
The United States. as well estab-
lishod by numerous decisions of the
United States supreme court, has no
property interest in the waters and
beds OF nayigable rivers, but merely
the police power to regulate com
mercc upon them, usually exercised
in the way of removing distractions
and making improvements for the
passage of commercial vessels. The
states of the union have control of
the waters of rivers subject to the
paramount authority of the United
States for navigation purposes.
The riparian owners have the right
to use the waters for all purposes so
that they do not destroy the nayiga-
bic capacity-of the streams and after
use allow them to pass on to the pro-
prietOrs below.
These rights are recognized and
respected in the bill offered by Sen
ator Shields.
1t has been reported that President
Wilson was decidedly opposed to the
bill. Here again a mistake has been
made. After reading the bill Presi-
dent Wilson declined to oppose it.
If The future navigation of present
nayigable streams would be inter
fercd with there would be substantial

A CANDID STATEMENT.

(MObilc Register)
Nothing more candid and complete
than Mr.. Bryan's declaration of sup
port of President Wilson could be
asked for than what he said in his
address Monday in Lincoln, Neb.
There will be no other candidate at
st. Louis, he declared, ana added
II am Il candidate for dclegate-at-
large to that convention" said Mr..
Bryan; "but if any of my friends who
have suddenly become friends of
Woodrow Wilson can serve him bet
ter than myself let them send some
one else to the convention. If Wood
row Wilson owes me anything he has
more than paid il back by giving
himself to the Nation as President
instead of Roosevelt" This will be
disappointment to those persons
and newspapers that have nourishcd
the hope Of an antagOnism between
MeSSr&. Bryan and Wilson. but it is a
fact. and cannot be helped.

HARD TO PLEASE.

Some men find it a most difficult
task to please their enemies. Take
Hon, W. J. Bryan for example. When
he says and does things his enemies
go after him hammer and tongs, and
then when he goes off to some quiet
SPOT to rest and recuperate and at
tend to his own business, these same
enemies call on him to explain his
silence. 1t is rather funny that the
Bryan haters are never satisfied

grounds for opposing and the house

in defeating the measure, but mas
much as the future safety of such
streams is specifically provided for
there can be no logical reason offered
for opposing the Shields bill now
pending before the house.-Memphls
| Commercial Appeal.
There's always something to be
thankful for-John l. Cox won't be
in the legislature any more for the
next four years at least. He has been
appointed and confirmed as postmas-
ter at Bristol.-Southern Standard,
McMinnyille.
The state would profit tremen-
dously if it had a field full of such
men as John l. Cox to send to the
| Legislature. John |. Cox, although
one of the most abused men in the
state, was of more real service to the
taxpayers during the time he was in
the legislature than any other man
in Tennessee, and he will make Bris'
toll the best postmaster it ever had.
All the abuse that has been heaped
upon him came from sources quite
unable TO do Mr.. Cox justice because
of their narrow prejudices and their
intolerance of any man who refuses
to have his conscience or his opin-
ions arranged for him by the super
intendent of the Anti-SalOon league.

kNurE NELSON'S CROWD.

Editor Daily News: I was at Sun
burg to hear the Hon. Knute Nelson
deliver his speech. Now by reading
the Republican dailies you would
hardly recognize that you were at the
same meeting they describe. l spent
some time to get a careful report OF
this meeting.
Sunburg is country town Of two
stores, IA miles from a railroad. Knute
Nelson came down from Alexandria,
Mimi, and was on the ground at 9
a. m. The 'Nelson Special" as it was
called, was billed for a short talk at
Annandale and at Paynesville. When
1t arrived at Paynesville there was
not soul to meet it, so there was no
speech. l talked with a man that
came up on the train and he counted
them and there were 81 on the spec.
ial.
The manager at BrOoten said he
had orders to get automobiles to take
care of $50 people and he had them
there, so they came over to Sunburg,
some three In car and some one in
car. Willmar, New London, Benson,
Kerkhoven and Glenwood, and all the
surrounding towns were we'll repre-.
scented.
/ asked several how many people
were present. The lowest estimate
was 700 and the highest 1000 and
one-third of them were women. There
were very few farmers there. Mr.. Mel
son read his speech. There was no
cheering and very little hand clap
ping. I was informed there were a
good many for Wilson in that part of
the country and am sure there were
none that changed over to Hughes.
