Gov. Roberts secured q splendid vim
dlcation at the hands Of the Demo-
Gratis Of Tennessee Thursday. The re-
pudiation OF his traducers was SO com
plete that there can no longer remain
a suggestion OF doubt that the allie
cations directed against his character
and official record were equally repul-
slye 10 the fair minded people OF Ten
nessee.
Mr.. Crabtree was only one OF series
81 circumstances introduced In the
campaign for the purpose OF destroying
the governor. Mr. Crabtree confined
his campaign TO the issues and the
governor refused to be led away from
matters Of vital concern to the state
leaving Il to the people to administer
the proper rebuke for the character
Of campaign made upon him.
The political element that sought TO
stage a comeback showed itself utterly
without strength. The only opposition
10 the governor that developed into
magnitude Of consequence was some
farmers who opposed the tax law ana
organized labor which regards the gov
ernor as unfair.
Organized labor, incensed against the
city administration because OF It's atu-
tude toward unions, and against the
governor because of the presence OF
troops in Memphis during the firemen's
strike. voted It's sentiment as unit
II the returns are an expression OF the
feeling Of the voters. majority are
IN sympathy with organized labor
However, II is evident that the victory
IN the city went to the union labor peo-
ME nv default. The business men ana
others not affiliated with organized Ia
bor took little interest and ala not
vote. There is no means OF knowing
where their sympathy lies.
We hope the attitude of the city ad-
,ntn,s,ration win not react TO the detri-
ment OF the city when the legislature
conyenes. The city is in need OF legis-
la,ion that can not be passed without
help, but It is apparent that the ad-
ministratIon Is not in position 10 ASK

Always it was W. G.'s aim to give
every man a chance, and more than
one worker in the old Star office got
more than one chance. Some of them
got many. In the soaking wet days
If an employee fell by the wayside

well in his own hands, and think
now, as l thought then, that this was
for the purpose Of giving the boys
who came to us fair show, that
none might receive lle COIu oIiOulutl .
Among the wanderers who, tarried
with us for a time was Frederick
OBrien, author of white Shadows In
the South Seas" Fred has made. his
strike in literature. 1t was just like
him to shine in fiction. He made a
dim, Pickering light in writing news

crate a story and trim it beautifully,
but prosaic facts annoyed him; he was
never at home with them.
I recall that the author of white
Shadows in the South Seas" was sent
out to cover fire In the Huber COM
pany shops when nearly third OF
the big factory was either destroyed
or damaged. This meant much to the
people OF Marion generally, and a
great deal to the hundreds Of work
men who would be out of employment
the destruction wrought, but he
couldn't see its Importance to Marion.
He wrote his report and turned it over
to me-not more than hundred and
lis this what you make of it?" I
asked.
That's ALL" he replied, and there
was a note Of conscious failure in
his voice.
Another reporter was sent out and
he covered the fire pretty well In a
story that made a column and half
in the Star. w. G. smiled; to him one
failure in the life of young man did
not mean disaster.
Frederick O'Brien was one of the
most likable young men that stopped
over with us while in search OF a

car, but he rode away one midnight
on an upholstered seat. His friends
entertained. him in a game OF draw
poker until almost Train time. he
walked half mile to the station,
found his train an hour late and
walked back. His final departure was
characteristic. His friends around the
table remembered these words long
after:

thing YOU like Of me, anything but this

Uncle Wiggily cut off some leaves
from the rubber plant. which had a lot
of extra ones. Then the rabbit gentle
man cut a slit in the edge Of leaf,
and in this hole he put a piece of maca-

Uncle Wiggly blew up some more

whipped cream and sugar in bowl
while Nurse Jane and Mrs. Stubtail
were talking.
Uncle Wlggily put the white, sweet
frothy cream inside the green leaf cream
puffs, and then he made some tea. He
put everything on a tray and brought
it in the parlor where Miss Fuzzy

spoke the bunny.

Uncle Wiggily blinked one eye very hard
at Nurse Jane. and twinkled his nose
"Oh. yes-cream puffs--I had forgot
ten" and Nurse Jane smiled at Uncle
Wiggily, for she understood what he
had done.
"Oh. these are dee-dee- liclous." said
the lady bear, when she had eaten
three OF the rubber leaf cream putfs.

Jane, and then Mrs. Stubtail knew
what the joke was. But the puffs
