CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TION BILL INTRODUCED

Representative Chandler, of Mem
phis, has introduced in the House a
bill calling for the holding Of an
election in June to say whether or
not the State will have a constitu-
tional convention. The chances
are that the convention proposition
will be defeated as it has been in
former elections and its fate is an
advanced certainty unless plenty Of
time is allowed to discuss the mat
ter and the people can see just ex-
actly what Is proposed to be done
including their right to pass upon
the work Of the convention in the
event 1t shall be held. The people
are "jubous" Of the constitutional
convention proposition notwith-
standing all admit the need Of

CenterviIIe Mayor
of t}0td Roads

J. Frank Horner, Mayor Of the
good town Of Centerville, Hickman
county. and travelling man in this
territory for the wholesale notion
hoouse Of W. S. Riddle, Of Nashville,
was in Lexington last Saturday and
talked interestingly Of his county's
construction Of good roads roads
with rock foundation, covered
with that natural material known
as ebert, which concretes so per-
fectly that it makes one Of the best
and most durable of good road sur
faces. Hickman county kept ham,
mering at 1t until her citizens voted
a good roads bond issle Of 5000,
if we remember correctly, which
sum Mayor Horner thinks sufficient
to construct the roads contemplated
as the average haul Of the building
materials is estimated to be not
more than one-eighth Of a mile.
Mayor Horner is a Commercial
Pilgrim" with several years Of ex-
perience travelling over bad roads
principally andss to say that he
is proud Of the progressiveness Of
his county, hardly does justice to
his feeling in the matter. While

In INTEREST OF
SAFETY FIRST.

/ Two bills have been introduces
In the House Of Representatives o
the Tennessee Legislature in the In
terest of safety first The bill
are by Representative Thomas B
Hiner, Of Shelby county, and, i
passed, will 90 a long ways TOWARD
reducing the number Of avoidablt
accidents. They are as follows:
| Bill No. S5--Requirine Automo
biles to stop within ten feet Of rail
road crossings.
Bill No. S6-Making it unlawful
to trespass on railroads rights-of.
way.
Accidents statistics show that the
larger percentage of deaths upon
railroads Of the country are attribu-
ted to tresspassing and to accidents
at crossings carelessness upon the
part Of the drivers Of cars and care
lessness upon the part Of persons
who use railroad tracks for walk
wavs and for Fairgrounds, etc.
Both measures are commendable
and should really have the princi-
pies Of safety first" at heart. In
many Of the countries of Europe q
person who tresspasses on railroad
property is subject to arrest, and if
one would eliminate from the list
Of accidental deaths the number Of
persons killed while tresspassing on
railroad property, the list would be
materially curtailed.
The movement to prevent acci-
dents at railroad crossings, is but
following the recent campaign in
augurated by the NC. & st. L, to
have placed in all GARAGES and re-
pair shops along the systenlA iIss,s
ing to owners and drivers Of cars to
stop, look and listen" before driy-
ing upon a crossing.
The safety measures can do a
lot of good, and will be factors in
reducing the number Of accidental
deaths in the state if the public
will but cooperate in their enforce
ment. Such meas nres as the two
above referred to are certainly in
the interest Of the public and should
have the support Of the public.
That the railroads will heartily
cooperate in any movement look
ing toward the reduction Of accl-
dents goes without saying; in fact
many OF the more progressive lines
have well-organized safety depart
ments. :

NOT FAVORABLE
TO GOV. RYE'S
ADMINISTRATION.

The Banner Jan. 5th prints the
receipts and disbursements Of one
Of M. r. Patterson's terms. one oI
Hopper's terms for the same period
and one Of Gov. Rye's just closing
The balance Of the deficit Of each
term Is put down. which, added to
the receipts, shows the amount dis.
bursed by the several administra-
tons and shows the overdraft OF
the Rye administration to be much
less than either Of the others. But
q careful estimate shows that the
Rye administration has been much
more costly to the taxpayers than
either Of the others. For instance,
Patterson collected the sum Of ST.
24S,0O9.86 and spent $8,058,64O.37.
Hooper collected $8,735.O68.19 and
spent $9,202918.S9. Rye collected
$l0,209,484.91 and spent $1O,353,-
72O82 Thus If will be seen that
the Rye administration has spent
over two and quarter million dol
lars more than Patterson for the
same length Of time and over a mil
lion dollars more than Hooper for
the same length Of time, thus MAX
ing the Rye administration possibly
the most extravagant one in the
. history Of the State. During this
administration numberless new Of
fees have been created with fat
salaries 50 that the enormous ex-
penditures can be easily accounted
for. II IS obe hoped that this leg
islature will lop off some Of these
useless Offices and let these fat sal
aries be turned into the treasury.
tIlIs sdmlnlstfasion had Only
spent the amount spent by Patter-s
son, there would be a surplus in the
treasury Of about three million
dollars instead Of a deficit Of over
one million. II this administration
had confined itself to the amount
spent by Hooper, there would be in
the treasury surplus Of over one
million instead OF a deficit. We
takeit the solons will easily find
where to stop the leak. The tax
payers Of Tennessee are mostly poor
and hard pressed and ten millions
is a salty sum to wiring from them.
The solons will be watched careful
" by the taxpaying public. MT.

make.
"Bilie, If you will 60 up to my room
and bring my small handbag, will
let you see two photographs Of the
same young man, showing what only
FIVE months of intensive training on
the Mexican border did for him." -
The bag was brought. Uncle Dan,
showing the pictures, said: "Well,
here they are. They tell their own
story and 1t is a mighty interesting
one. The young man, before training,
has a discouraged look; he has seen
but little Of the world. There was
very little in his surroundings to bring
him out. When he Joined the colors
and Uncle Sam took him in charge,
life for him took on new meaning.
He saw chance to do something and
be something. He woke up. His cap
tain says he Is twice the man he was
when he joined the army. This may
be one Of the extreme cases." said
Uncle Dan. II can tell you, though,
that war or no war, no one thing will
do the young men Of this nation so
much good in so short a time rs a few
months of intensive military training
1t fits a man to fight his own life bat
ties in the business world as well as
to defend his country and its flag.
"Nearly every civilized country gives
its boys military training. 1t Is COM
pulsory. 1t Is based upon the fact that
1t is the duty Of everyone to help de-
fend his country; and as war is now
carried on, no one can do much unless
he Is trained. Also, the records show
that the killed and wounded among
unframed troops Is nearly three times
as great as II is with well-trained men
who know how to fight and how to
protect themselves. BY this plan q
nation has trained men to defend her
and the individual is a stronger and
better man for the training.
IF the Chamberlain Bill for Mill.
tary Training is passed by congress,
as It ought to be, the same thing would
be done for millions of other young
men throughout the land. Everybody
ought to demand of his congressman
and senator's the passage Of this
BILL"
"All right, sir, exclaimed Jimmie, we
will see Judge Brownell, Mr.. Haskell,
and Professor Slocum, and get them
busy" -

"Now, boys" said Uncle Dan, "what
do you want to talk about?"
SWELL" said Jimmie, II was down to
Galesburg few months ago when the
boys came home from the Mexican
border. They looked fine. Everybody
was surprised to see how straight they
stood and how manly they were. The
boys seemed proud to wear the uni
form. tell you their muscles were as
hard as nails. heard Banker Haskell
say that the training and discipline
the boys had had was exactly what
every boy in the country ought to
have, and that now these boys could
get better job at higher pay than
they could have had before. Do you
think that's so, Uncle Dan"
Uncle Dan. replied: II have q
friend who employs hundreds of young
men. He always gives boys having
had military training the preference !;
he says 1t pays to do so. He finds
they are more alert, more prompt,
more courteous; they know how to
carry out orders; they are quicker to
think and to act than those without
training. He said from his experience
he believed that six or eight months
Of intensive military training would
