From Commanding Officer, 27tt
Company to Mrs. Margaret E. Walk.
er, Union City, Tenn.-My Dear Mrs
Walker: For myself and on behalf
of the members of this command, ]
wish to extend to you our heartfelt
sympathy in the loss of your son. In
this your great hour of bereavement
we keenly sorrow.
OF your son we have always felt
proud; his loyalty to noble ideals,
obedience to the commands of God,
sacrificing efforts toward his fellow
comrades and strict sobriety, have
endeared him to all his brothers in
arms. We feel in the loss of him
the loss of a noble son of America.
While nothing will ever take away
the sorrow and grief you must feel
at so great loss, the though of
those words indelibly written on the
hearts of all of us may, we trust,
help to Tighten the burden, "Gone
but not forgotten"

Cordially yours,

Senator D. P. Caldwell, chairman
Representative w. A. Dunlap, secre

After the organization of the com
mite, Chairman Caldwell announced
that in his opinion, tho work of the
committe was most important, be.
cause a bill had been introduced tc
abolish the department of game and
fish, and the Office of State game and
fish warden, and that if the commit
tee performed its duty well, they
would not only investigate the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the de-
partment, but would also investigate
all of the workings of the depart
ment.
At the conclusion of the chairman s
address, a motion was made that a
subcommittee be appointed to in
vestigate the work of the department
in the establishment of q fish hatch
cry at Elkmont, Tenn. This sub
committee is composed of Repre-
sentatives James A. Howord and w.
A. Dunlap, and Senator J. W. Rice,
of Dover.
The chairman also appointed a sub
committee composed of Senator Houk
and Representatives Wilson and Grif-
fin, to thoroly examine the books of
the department. The chairman was
added to this subcommittee. In ad-
dition to investigating the State farm
at Glendale Park, and the rearing of
pheasants at other places, this sub
committee was also instructed to find
out whether or not the bureau of
biological survey and the bureau of
fisheries were receiving the necessary

inquire into the manner of protecting
game and fish in other States Of the
Union.
The entire committee was request
ed by the chairman to meet in Union
City on March 10, and to go in a
body to Reelfoot Lake and investi-
gate the conditions on the lake; and
whether or not the pro-
posed improvements on Reelfoot Lake
should be made, and what other i'm
if any, suggested by the
should be made; and to
determine whether the States hold |
lngs at Reelfoot Lake have been
safeguarded, and whether
another survey should be made to
locate and establish the
lines of the States property.
1t was recognized by the commit
tee that Reelfoot Lake is one of the
most important assets of the State of
Tennessee, and that it is the duty of
the committee to make thoro in

MR.. WATTERSON DISCUSSES ASSASSINS
AND THIRD Term FOR PRESIDENT
From the Louisville courier,yournal.

Miami, Fla, Feb. 21.-Henry
Watterson was seen at his hotel and
asked to say something about the at
tempt upon the life of Clemenceau,
Premier of France.

and between Ravesac, who did the
business for Henry of Navarro, and
Booth and Guiteau, my familiar
knowledge seems almost ct first hand.
One night at Chamberlains, in Wash

Attorney who was prosecuting the
murderer of Garfield, said to me:
You will never fully understand this

teau rejected him and vilely abused
him, vociferously insisting upon be-
ing his own lawyer.
From the moment Guitcau entered
the trial room it was theatrical ex-
travaganza. He was in irons, sand
wiched between two Deputy Sheriffs,
came in shouting like madman, and
began at once railing ct the Judge,
the jury and tho audience. A very
necessary rule had been established
that when he intcrposcd, whatever
was being said or done automatically
stopped. Then, when he ceased, the
case went on again as if nothing had
happened.

"Only Scovalli interposed between

II have never taken much account
of Joan of Arc except as an inspired
lunatic. Charlotte Corday was only
a trifle less so. Wilkes Booth knew.
He was drunk, had been drunk all
that winter, completely muddled and
perverted by brandy, the inheritant
of mad and bad blood. Czolgocz, the
slayer of Mckinley, and tho assassin
of the Empress Elizabeth and Felix
Faure were clearly insane. l dare
say it will be found that the poor
wretch who has made the attempt
on the life of Clemenceau is little
better than an idiot. All the same he
should be carted to the Place de la
Concorde as better men have been
before him.
Tomorrow is the 22d of Feb
ruary," the reporter put in, Wash
ington's birthday is our second Dec
laration of independence day. The
Courier Journal would like you to
say something about it and about the
political situation, with especial ref
erence to the doings of Congress, the
foreign journey and coming return of
President WILSON,
II cannot help thinking" Mr.. Wat
terson replied, that the great Je-
hovah, who, old Ethan Allen inti-
mated, stood behind tho Continental
Congress, stands behind the Congress
of the United States, since the Sixty
fifth Congress is about to adjourn
and the Sixty-cixth, which will pres
emily assemble, is Republican.
AS TO WILSON ADMINISTRATION
1.-THE autocratic character, will

the Wilson Administration appear to
me to be in need not merely Of re-
buke, but of check Either the Presi- |
dent has quite lost his bearings, or
else he is visionary, again l will not
say vain, enough to believe he can
compass what YVES denied to Grant |
and Cleveland, a third term in the |
White House. In my opinion, moth
ing else, or less, could have prompt |
ed, impelled the foreign exploitation.
AS fond as he seems of breaking pre-
cedents, do not believe he can sue
cessfully violate the precedent set by
Washington. Unless tho people are
wholly degenerate, ripe and ready to
be buncoed out of their liberties,
they will forbid this first step toward
life tenure, which a third term would
foreshadow.

This I do not believe. AS frivo-

as historically unread the masses of

triotic dough around about election
days, and the country is not just
ready for a master, having rejected
the man on horseback and retired the
stuffed prophet years and years ago.
Such lessons are lost, however, on
men. Each thinks he will
prove the exception. Meanwhile, the
rule laid down by Washington, and
followed by Jefferson and Jackson,
