DODGE TO CONTINUE
THE SAME POLICIES

Definite assurance that there
would be no change in the policies Of
Dodge Brothers, Detroit automobile
manufacturers, as result of the re-
cent death of John F. Dodge, presi-
dent, was given to dealers at a meet
ing in the Blackstone Hotel, Chicago,
during the automobile show there
January 28th. The assurance came
in the form of a letter addressed to
the dealers by Horace E. Dodge, now
at the head of the business, and read
at the melting by George c. Hubbs,
assistant general sales manager. The
letter follows:
81 regret exceedingly that | cannot
be with you this afternoon to person
ally express my own and my broth
er's appreciation of your work during
the past year, but on account of my
recent illness, | am obliged to forego
that plasure
IL do wish, however, to as strong
ly as possible impress upon each of
you that my brother and have
thoroughly appreciated the loyal sup
port you have given Dodge Brothers
during the last year.
"The passing of my dear brother,
Mr.. John F. Dodge, is to me, person
ally, a loss so great that | hesitate to
look forward to the years without his
companionship, our lives having
been, as you all know, practically in
separable since our childhood.
81 have the same pride in the ac-
complishments of Dodge Brothers,
that inspired him, and l feel that we
can pay no greater tribute to his
memory than to carry forward the
plans and aspirations which he and
myself had for the future of the busi-
ness.
"The business will be conducted in
the future exactly as it has been in
the past-the same principles of hon
or, honesty and integrity that domi-
mated his life will continue to domi-
nate the business of Dodge Brothers.
There will be no change, and you can
safely make your plans for the future
in reliance upon the same whole
hearted support of Dodge Brothers
that has been given to you in the
past. ."-Tennessean, Feby. %.

RAILROAD BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE.

The Lower House Of Congress last
! Saturday passed what Is known as
the Esch- -Cummins bill for the rceu-
lation Of the railroads after their re-
turn to their owners which is billed
to occur on the first of March.
The vote stood 249 to $50 and was
passed as party measure, while
some Republicans and some Demo-
Gratis broke away from party moor
ing in the final action.
The bill is compromise between
the Esch bill passed by the House
and the Cummins bill as adopted by
the Senate, the compromise having
been agreed to by conference COM
mittee members of beth the House
ard the Senate.
The Republican leader, Mondell,
urged all representatives of that par
ty to support the measure, while
Kitchen, on the Democratic side, car
ried his fellows ink.he way that was
most pleasing to the railroad labor
organizations-for the bill is con-
demned by them.
Representative Esch, chairman of
the House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee defended the guarantee sec
tion of the bill. He said that to wind
up Federal control of the railroads,
Congress will have to appropriate
$S46, 900, making a grand total of
two billion dollars Of railroad appro-
priations during the two years of
Federal control and that approxi-
mately $750,000 ,0O0represents a total
loss, while the balance is the amount
the government has invested in the
roads.
Representative Burkley, in oppos-
ing the bills guarantee feature, said
its advocates had maintained a well
organized and luxuriously quartered
lobby in Washington and tina. the bill
was tribute to dishonesty, ineffi-
cheney and extravaganza.
The two Tennessee Republicans.
Sells and Taylor, voted for the bill |
and all of the eight Tennessee DEM
ocrats against it. Forty-four Demo-
Gratis voted for the bill and twenty
three Republicans against it. One in
dependent and one Prohibitionist vot-
ed against the bill and twelve men,
bers were paired.

The death of beloved girl, just

EX-GOVERNOR HOOPER
FOR CHAIRMAN.

Chattanooga, Tenn, Feb. 2l.-
Plans for the followers of former
Senator Newell. Sanders to capture
the state Republican convention
which meets here on April 14th, were
revealed by one of the leaders today.
tn first step being an attempt to con-
troll the state committee in he nomina-
ion of temporary chairman. To
strengthen this movement it is pro-
posed to fight for the selection of
former governor Ben Hooper so as to
have a strong speaker of the Sanders
persuasion to sound the keynote in a
speech opening the convention.
The next-move on the programme
is to organize the convention by Sc
lection of Congressman Sam Sells of
the First district as permanent chair
man, although partisans of national
committeeman, Jesse Littleton, claim
that Sells had agreed as recent con-
ference in Nashville to let the Third
district settle the controversy between
Sanders and Littleton.
John H. Early, of Chattanooga, il
is said has been selected to present
the plan of Sanders for delegate from
the state at large to the national Re
publican convention and Ren Hooper
is expected to become the floor leader
of the Sanders force.
Littleton's supporters contend that
the plan Of the Sanders followers will
miscarry, claiming to have an alli-
ence in West and Middle Tennessee
and in certain sections of the First
and Second districts which insure
them sufficient strength to organize
the convention.

PRESIDENT BARRETT
B0BS UP AGAIN.

Washington, Feby 20.-With the
appointment of committee of seven
prominent farm organization leaders
to draw up a platform, "the 7,000,-
coo American farmers, as represent
ed on the National Board of Farm
Organizations, served notice today on
present and prospective presidential
candidates that they are determined to
to participate actively in the next
campaign. The platform will COM
prize questions designed to bring out
unmistakably the attitude of each
candidate upon matters which agri-
culturists consider of paramount i'm
portance.
c. s. Barrett, of Georgia, president
Of the National Farmers Union was
named chairman of the committee,
the other members being T. C. Alike
son, Of West Virginia, representing
the National Grange; Clifford Pin
chot, Pennsylvania, of the Pennsyl-
vania Rural Progresss Association;
j. B. Houston, Wisconsin, secretary
Wisconsin Society of Equity; w. L.
Drummond, Oklahoma, International
Farm Congress; R. d. Cooper, New
York, Dairymen's League, and j. R.
Howard, Washington, American Farm
Bureau Federation.
"The committee, If | understand
the temper of organized agriculture"
Chairman Barrett said, twill demand
a most comprehensive and unmistak-
able statement of the position of each
candidate on questions especially re-
lating to agriculture. The farmers
will not submit to camoufiage; more
over, the committee will try to deter
mine before submitting it's findings
to the farmers, just what ability
candidate may have to carry out his
prediction pledges. We must get
behind a strong faithful, long-vis-
ioned man. None other will suit"
If you don't happen to remember
Barrett, we can tell you that he is the
man, who, few years ago, was
brought into the Eighth Congression-
al District of Tennessee, in behalf of
the candidacy for Congress of one
Mr.. Rhodes against the Hon. T. w.
Sims. Mrs Sims, while Democrat,
has been friend to farmers as
class-just as good friend as they
ever had in Congress and just as
good and true as they could hope to
have-for Mr. Sims came from the
farm and his heart and mind have al
ways gone out in sympathy to the
people who earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces, and is classed
by labor leaders as one of the best
friends they have ever had, which
fact is vouched for on election day
when he is supported by practically
all members of labor organizations,
regardless of politics

NUMBER 80
ADMIRAL PERRY DIES
IN WASHINGTON.

Rear Admiral Robert Peary died
in Washington d. c., last Friday.
His chief distinction was that after
four centuries of searching the fro
zen North and the sacrifice of many
lives and treasure not to be estimat-
ed, it was he who discovered the
North pole--and in his many expedi-
tions without the loss of life except
two men who were killed by accident.
The following account of Admiral
Perry's life and expeditions is given;
Admiral Perry was Ga years old
and entered the navy as civil en-
gineer on Oct. 26, 1881. He was as
sistent engineer, Nicaragua ship ca
nal, under government orders, 1884
s5. Returning to the United States,
he became interested in Artic explor-
ations and "a years ago he made his
first trip to the north, making a re-
connoissance Of the Greenland inland
ice cape east of Disco Bay.
Two years thereafter he was en-
gineer in charge Of the Nicaragua Ca
nal surveys and invented rolling lock
gates for the canal, but the lure of
the Artic was on him and he again
turned northward. In June, 1891, he
led his first big polar expedition, be-
ing head of the Arctic expedition Of
the Academy of National Science,
Philadelphia.
Admiral Peary made seven other
expeditions into the Arctic before he
finally was successful in reaching the
pole, returning in 1909 to find that
DIR. Frederick A. Cook was being
praised as the diseovefer.
In 1918 he was promoted to the
rank of rear admiral in the navy and
given the thanks of Congress by
special act. Turning his attention to
aviation, Admiral Peary became
strong advocate Of aircraft develop
ment by the government and time
and again urged adequate coast pa
|trols m flis eountxys e&pe6iplly dur
ing the war period.
It was on the afternoon of Septem-
Der 9th, 1909, that the following few
words reported to the civilized world
for the first time this crowning
achievement of three centuries Of ef-
fort:
Indian Harbor, via Cape Ray N.
F., Sept. 6.-To the Associated Press,
New York:
STARS and Stripes nailed to North
Pole. PEARY."
Peary's actual attainment of the
pole had been just five months before
ON April 6, 1909.
