COngTatuIaiss DbIon Democrats
To the Democratic Party and Tax
payers Of 0bion County:

payers OF 0bion County:
/ hope that you have all recovered
from tie cyclone which struck us on
tae End of November.
l want to congratulate you people
Of Obion County by stating to you
thet you not only captured the ban
ner in the primary as the Democratic
county of the State, but you held and
sustained that banner in the regular
November election. Obion County
was loyal and true to the ticket from
top to bottom. and you will never
know how your humble servant APP
preciatcs the fact that the State adj
ministration was endorsed with her
usual Democratic majority in the
county. Whether l had anything to
do with it or not, feel very highly
complimented and the administration
is very proud of Obion County.
While it seems that we had con-
siderable Increase in the Republican
vote in Obion County, and some DEM
ocrats forgot they were under Repub-
lican rule and had been for two
years, yet they were charging up the
great unrest and bad conditions of
the country to TIC Democratic party,
which was not true, as they Rave no
doubt realized already since the NO
vcmber election, as things are still |
going to the bad. The financial con-
dition of he country, especially |
among the farming class, is alarm
ing. However, in Tennessee we are
not in as bad condition as in other
States for the reason that we have
more diversified crops and depend
more upon live stock and grain and
rot so much on cotton.
l have just returned from Chicago
where / attended meeting of the
National Commissioners or Agricul-
ure of the United States. Forty
hree States were represented, and
W found the farmers throughout the
United States all in bad condition
nd almosts broke. But in Tennes-
&c we have plenty OF corn, plenty of
Gy and plenty of live stock, and
yhether we have much money or not,
70 are in better condition than any
the- State in the Union, am happy
0 state.
Now, I want to return my thanks
D the voters and taxpayers of the
rand old Democratic party of Obion

EXTRAVAGANT ADM NISTRATION

There seems to be disposition in the minds of
many people to place the responsibility for our con-
tinued national extravaganza Jointly upon a repub-
lican congress and a democratic administration.
To the extent that congress may make itself re-
sponsble by any eXtravagant conduct we will not
hesitate to criticize it.
For instance, if it resorts to any old-time and
dscredited pork barrel" and "log-rolling' appro.
priations Of its own initiation we shall not defend
it's
However, it should be remembered that con-
gress provides the money; the administration
spends it.
The barrel of national credit must be kept
full by congress- 1t is the bunghoe of administra
tive expenditures which must be stopped up.
To illustrates: Suppose that congress takes the
position that the expenditures of the depart
ment must be cut down. Suppose, however, that
the little secretary of war says, he does, that
they cannot be reduced. Congress is helpless. If
it cuts Off appropriations they almost certain to
be at the wrong points and the service thereby be
impaired unless the secretary will join in retrench-
ment program and advise honestly where the ap-
preparations be cut without injury.
This statement applies to every department. 1t
is easy to increase the cost of operation of anything
1t is difficult without change of management to
cut it down.
The American people will see to it in November
that there is change of management.

SOME POLITICAL STUFF

In the primary Tuesday there
We're two outstanding features.
The first one was the outpourine
of the voters of Roswell, men and
wonderland perhaps we should
put it the other way about: women
and men.
In Roswell the reason undoubt-
eddy was the organization formed
to get out the vote of the women
and it did its work Systematically
and regularly. From the moment
of the opening of the polls the
women literally descended in ava
lanches upon the boxes, regularly,
Systematically and hour after hour.
What the woman vote was cannot
yet be told but oubtedly it was
around thousand votes in Ros-
we'll
But the women were not merely
satisfied with voting themselves.
They also swelled the mems vote
by inducing husbands. sons and
brothers to vote who might have
neglected doing so.
In the county convention the So
called regulars have won over the
so called anti-bosses.
The voters seem to have picked
the men they wanted for delegates
irrespective of the factions. for the

Returnsfn county primaries in New Mexico show
that the people in many rural precincts cast light
vote. The farmers are short-handed, and a lot OF
them have been busy with spring work that they
would not take time to vote Town jewellers have
little excuse
The country will never be prosperous and well
governed unless its citizens are willing to spend time
TO vote. Even if man lives several miles from the
polling place, he would not lose much time by doing
his duty citizen.
The farmers are one of the most intelligent ee-
ments, and when they absent themselves the coun-
try suffers from the lack of their judgment Their
voice is certainly needed in affairs

RACIAL ORIGIN--Irish.
SOURCE--A kings name.

The development of family names
in Ireland took place two or three
centuries before it did in England
and the rest of northern Europe
And even prior to that time the
Irish had a well-developed system
of clan names which served al
most as we'll as family names for
Identification. II
1t was King Brian Boru who, by
royal edict, started this custom OF
nomenclature in the tenth CEN
fury and spread it broadcast over
the land, whereas in other coun-
tries it developed only spontane-
ously and over a period of several
centuries,
1t had been customary among
the Irish up to that time for the
descendants of the heads of tribes
to tese their names from them;
But it TssS merely q custom, ana
one subiectNo frequent change in
the event of a descendant leader
of a clan achieving some notable
victory, in which case his follow
ers would drop the old~clan name
and adopt a new one from his per-
sonal name.
King Brian's edict made it COM
pulsory for the members Of clans
and families to take their names
from either their fathers or grand
fathers, and made those names
hereditary and fixed forever"
Most of the O'Brien families
were those which took their fam
ilv name from this monarch him
