AGAIN DEMAND BLED-
 SOE'S RESIGNATION
Second Time Demand Made and is Refused as Many Times Dr. BledsOe is Now Charged With InsubOrdinatiOn.

Little Rock, June 7.-The State Board of Control has again demand ed the resignation of Dr. E. P. Bled- soc. superintendent of the State Hos pital for the Treatment of Nervous Diseases, and Dr. Bledsoe has for the second time in two weeks, declined without thangs or reservation. Dr. Bedsoe did not ever follow the legal procedure of saving his exceptions.
 The Board of Control cited Dr. Bledsoe into court Wednesday after noon and charged him again with in- subordination in his refusal to accept Dr. Rowland as assistant superintend- ent. after he had been elected to that position by the Board Dr. Bledsoe again informed the Board that Dr. Rowland was not qualified for the place, he deeming six months as junior physician inadequate to fit any physician for the position of as sistant superintendent. Dr. Bledsoe was then asked to step down and per init the Board to elect a new superin- tendent. Dr. Bledsoe informed the Board that he did not consider such an action to be for the good of the institution and he not only declined to do so. but he would oppose any effort of the Board to oust him.
 This brought an all afternoon star chamber session of the Board to a close and those interested filed cut without giving much information. The Board members declined to issue a statement, but it is expected that the charges formerly filed against pr. Blcdsoe will be re-filed and a dis mssal for cause follow Dr. Bledsoe will demand a public hearing, should the charges be brought.

GOV. TOM C. RYE

Who won a magnificent victory on
Tuesday when he led the forces of
true democracy to battle against the
republicans, local optionists and law
less elements of the state who tried
with might and main to encompass
his defeat. His majority will be TO-
900 or more, and it was given to him
by the rural counties of the state,
where the law abiding, liberty loving
common people dwell; people who
recognize the fact that Gov. Rye has
kept the faith with them, and that he
has carried out to the letter his plat
form pledges, that he has stood for de-
cency and law enforcement against
indecency and those who sought to
rule or ruin regardless of law. The
lawless elements of Shelby and Da-
wilson counties have found out at last
that they do not hold the balance of
power in Tennessee and that the DEM
ocratic party can fight its way to a
righteous victory over them and their
republican allies. Tennessee democ-
racy has had its day of diseord and dsor-
row, but out Of it all has come a united
and purified democracy, ready and de-
termined to do willing battle for those
principles which still stand as the
foundation of the greatest govern
ment in the world. She has lost some
of her forces to the enemy, but they
are happy riddance and the repub-
licans are. welcome to them.

AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS

For nine months of the calendar
year the exports of agricultural pro-
ducts from the United States were
valued at $1,000, 100000, this total be-
ing S25,000,OOO less than for the same
period in 1915 and nearly S500,000,000
more than for the first nine months of
1914. As compared with the figures
of last year, the value of exports Of
breadstuffs during the nine months
decreased S90,000,O00, the increase be-
ing in meat and dairy products. When
we take into account that practically
all of the crops show decreased produc-
tion as compared even with normal
years and that exports of agricultural
products during the year have already
gone beyond one billion dollars, it is
not difficult to determine why we have
come to an era of high prices for all
food stuffs, cotton, etc.-Christan
Advocate.

ANOTHER BLUNDER OF HISTORY

History and the school books tell us
and we have all. believed it, that Elias
Howe invented the sewing machine,
says the Kansas City Star. Many pic
tures have been drawn of the poor in
ventor, with his model under his arm,
going from one capitalist to another,
trying to interest them.
Now comes documentary evidence
which is INTRODUCED to prove that Howe
did not invent it, but that it was de-
vised by Frank R. Goulding, in the
thirties, when he was student in the
state university of Georgia. He was a
restless, energetic young man, who
always was experimenting with ma
chimes to Tighten labor, it is explained.
He invented and built simple lock-
stitch mechanism, turned by hand, that
sewed ten times as fast as by hand.
Goulding showed it to everyone and
talked about it.
Among those who saw it was Elias
Howe, who had gone from the north
to winter in Georgia. Now it is sasserted
that Howe took the idea back with him
the following spring and patented it
and went down in history as the in
ventor of it. If the story is true it
affords still greater evidence tending
to show that nature rarely endows a
nan with inventive genius and sound
BUSINESS judgment at the same time.

Realizes Vote is Approval of Party
Principles

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 8-Gov. Rye
tonight expressed his appreciation of
the loyal support of the voters of
Tennessee in the following manner:
Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 8, 1916,
"To the people of Tennessee, who
supported me in yesterdays contest, |
desire to express my profound thanks
and gratitude.
81 am deeply conscious of the fact
that the splendid majority given me is
not personal to myself, but is the ex-
preston of confidence in and approval
of the principles for which the party
stands.
"To the press of the state, and to
those in charge of the headquarters
who have labored so industriously for
the success of the party, and to all To-
cal organizations, | desire to express
my thanks and grateful appreciation.

Tennessee Save the Day: Sims and

Strong with Country People

Practically complete returns from
the state Wednesday indicated the ma
jority for the democratic nominees will
be from 10000 to25,000
The democrats have carried Middle
and West Tennessee my enormous ma
iorities, and the republicans are not
securing the vote they predicted in
East Tennessee. Rye, McKellar and
Enloe ran together all through the
the state.
The rural vote of Middle and West
Tennessee has saved Gov Rye and the
democratic ticket. As indicated on the
early returns, West and Middle Ten
nessee will return a majority of from
10000 to $4,000 for the entire demo-
cratic ticket.
Both houses of the legislature are
safely democratic.
Thetus w. Sims, in the Eighth Con-

Governor Major has sent warnings
to the heads of all state institutions
that they must not expect any money
for buildings or for any extern
sion work Of any kind. The funds
for the institutions, he announced.
will barely suffice for salary lists
and the most common costs of main
tenance.
The last legislature oyer-appropri-
ated the estimated state e for
the next two years, the excess being
about $4,000, 900.
Governor Major held up and vetoed
about s2,200,00 of the expenditures.
He then obtained written promises
from the heads of departments to
hold up parts of the estimated expen-
diture, to see whether the revenues
would suffice.
He has lately found that the reve-
nues will not be much over the orig
inal estimate, and therefore he an
nounces that the institutions can get
nothing except salaries and absolute
ly necessary items of immediate need.
The constitution provides that the
salary lists shall have the first claim
In case of a fiscal shortage.

The Presidents Choice as Successor
to the Late Justice Lamar.
The nomination goes to the judiciary
committee, where a fight, if there is
one, will first develop.
Mr.. Brandeis will be the first Jew
to sit on the bench of the supreme
court. He is a lawyer who has been
much in public life during the last
three years, not only in legal work
but in various movements for social
betterment.
Harper's Weekly in a recent editor
ial called attention to Mr.. Brapdeis'
fitness for the supreme bench and
challenged the president to appoint
him.
Mr.. Brandeis has been known as
an independent in politics, with lean
ings toward the principles of the
Democratic party. There are now
two Democrats on the supreme bench,
Chief Justice White and Judge Nc
Reynolds.
At the beginning of President Will
sons administration Mr.. Brandeis
was expected to get a place in the
cabinet. Many of the administration
leaders expected him to be appointed
attorney general.
Brandeis has been a stern critic
of the financial methods of railroads
and great corporations, and an as
sailant of corporate abuses.
He is 50 years old and is a native
bf Louisville. His family was a pros
perous and well educated one, and
a part of his preparatory education
was obtained in Dresden, Germany.
His father suffered business reverses
in the panic of 1873, and he had to
work his way through the Harvard
Law School. In doing this he over
strained his eyes so that he has
never fully recovered, but he sue
ceeded in taking his law diploma at
the age of 20, the rules being sus-
pended to permit the diploma to be
given him at that age.

A GLASS OF SALTS WILL
END KIDNEY
Says Drugs Excite Kidneys and Rec
ommends Only Salts, Particularly

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot Of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which re-
nov the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal activ-
ity. The function Of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains Of acid and
waste, sc we can readily understand
the vital Importance of keeping the
kidneys active.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much; also get from any pharma-
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass OF
water before breakfast each morning,
for a few days and your kidneys VIII
act fine. This famous salts is mad
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to clean and
stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
~neutralize the acids in urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation, thus
ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
lure; makes q delightful ~eifervescent
Whitewater drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep
their kidneys clean and active. Try
this, also keep up the water drinking,
and no doubt you will wonder what
became of your kidney trouble AND
backache.-Adv.

East After Western Workers.

State Labor Commissioner John T.
Fitzpatrick states that heavy orders
are coming into labor quarters of Mis-
souri, and even as far west as Kan
sas, for railroad construction labor
ers and workers.
ut is the first time in the history
of Missouri" said the commissioner,
that there has been a demand for
construction workers. Usually there
are more of these laborers in the
east than can find employment, and
of late years great numbers of Gre
clan and Italian laborers have sought
employment in the west and south
west.
THE Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
and many other lines are placing or
ders with all the labor agencies in
the state for men and are shipping
them east.
ut seems that the European war
has drawn many of the foreign Ia
borers back home, and this is more
true of the east than of the west, and
for the first time in years there is a
shortage of this kind of labor in the
east. It appears, too, that the east
ern railroads and the mills are all
expecting to greatly increase their
forces, and for the first time they are
drawing on the west"
The commissioner expressed the
opinion that the present war would
be the most profitable one for labor
ever known in the history of Mis-
souri,.

Paris Raids.

Paris.-Following the Zeppelin raid
On Paris Saturday night, in which "a
persons were killed by bombs drop
ped on the city, German flyers made
another attack on the capital Sun
day evening. About a dozen bombs
were dropped. Reports of the extent
Of the damage Of the second raid have
not yet been received.
Thirty French aeroplanes searched
the remoae air above Paris for a Yep
pelin raider, for whose appearance
warning had been given. By the time
it had reached the edge of n of the
old quarters of the city, several of
the airmen were able to make out its
pale yellow shape $4,000 feet from the
earth. Frightened doubtless by the
numerous war planes rising toward it,
the Zeppelin wheeled and drove at
full speed northward, dropping in its
trail into the darkness a cargo of
bombs. Then continuing its flight at
a great altitude, the airship vanished.
