The appointment of Louis ID. Bran
deis to the Supreme Court bench II
another reminder of the fact thai
President Wilson is a man of inde.
pendent thought and action. His
Democracy knows nothing of favor
ite sons and boundary lines wher
II comes to the greatest court OF
the United States. He does not pro-
pose to risk the character and sta
bility of the Supreme Bench with
the payment of political debts or
the distribution of honors by sec
tional boundaries. He has passed
over well known heads-and good
ones toO-even gone out of his way
to strengthen the bulwark of su-
preme justice in the United States.
He has faced storm of protest
loud and deafening-from various
quarters-condemin Brandeis as a
Jew, crusader, a man without
sectional alignments, and whatever
else comes handy; but from no
where voice to challenge the won
derful personality of the man, his
unassailable character, courage of
steel, towering genius and manhood.
In this act President Wilson gives
abundant assurances that he is
neither prey for selfish interests nor
flesh for the plaudits of the multi
tude. He is what we have always
believed-a man who thinks and
acts out of sense of pure patriot
ism and the honorable discharge of
the tremendous responsibility of the
President of the United States.

Deceased breathed his last at
home on Division street. For six
months he had not been able TO do
any work and three or four weeks
were spent in the hospital. He had
all the assistance of medical skill

was unavailing.

member of the Baptist Church for
many years and was loyal to his
faith and practiced his religion.
With the greatest fortitude he bore

DR.. j. Frank Griffin announces
this week as a candidate for Flo
terial Representative for the coun-
ties of Dyer, Lake and Obion in the
forthcoming meeting of the Tennes-
see General Assembly, subject to the
action of the Democratic party.
DR.. Griffin made the race two
years ago and came within a few
votes of election. He is a native
citizen of Lake County, a resident
physician of Tiptonville and a man
OF we'll known character in his pro-
fession and his community. He
comes before the citizens of the
three counties asking them for sup
port on the grounds that Lake Coun-
ty in the first place is entitled by
rotation to the office of Floater and
that he is by reason of having made
one race with splendid support en-
titled to the greater confidence of
the voters. DR.. Griffin is a Demo-
crat who believes in the principles
OF true Democracy and of the tri-
umph of temperance and moral re-
form in the political economy of the
State. He is grounded in these ideas
and therefore asks you to give him
your support in this election, pledg-
ing if elected the discharge of his
duties to the best of his judgment
and ability.

MRS. WILLIAM A. SLATER MOVED BY BELGIAN sUFFERINGs
Writes From Washington Hoping That Norwich, Too, May Protest Against Cruel SIsvery of Deportation.

There is certain to be genuine local interest in the effort which Mrs. Will fam A. Slater formerly of Norwich, is making in behalf of the suffering Bel gians. Writing from her home, 1731 I
 Street, Washington to a friend in Nor
 wieh, Mrs. Slater encloses a cable re- ecived the day before which reads: News fro mBelgium describes situa- ton horrible. Over 10000 men al-
 awful scenes. Number proposed three
 million.
 Stop it, please! Get influential friends, start strong campaign of opinion, which might possibly prevent extensive slave raids. Implore your
 friends to help, in the name of human ity and honor ofsmankind.
 (Signed)
 CHEvALIER CARTON DE WIART Bishop Street. London. England. PIERRE MALI, Belgian Consul Gen eral.
 Commenting on this strong appeal Mrs. Slater writes:
 , Today we had a small meeting, to see if anything could be done. We de- cided that the only thing was to try. to influence people by bringing to their attention this terrible tragedy that is now taking place in Belgium, and to try to get the newspapers to notice it. " If.- the President sees that people are ! interested and revolted by such cruelty. he will, perhaps, protest. It t~seem too dreadful that we Amr jeans should si+' comfortably by and see such dreadful cruelty Wh- would we do if it were our husbands an dSonS who were sent away? Mrs. Slater refers to MT. Skaters S deep interest in the fate of the unfort- unate. Beigians and his opinion that this deportation cruelty is the worst thing that Germany has done.
