NUMBER As
W. H. CRABTREE AN
N0UNCES FOR GOVERNOR.

NOUNCES FOX GOVERNOR.
The announcement of Hon. W. R.
Crabtree, of Chattanooga, as a, can
didate for governor in the Democrat
ic primary to be held August 9th, APP
peared in the public prints of Sunday.
Col. Crabtree has entered the race
because Of the demand that some
good man become a candidate against
Governor Roberts and his announce
ment has brought qualification to
thousands who supported Gov. Rob-
erts over Austin Peay two years ago.
We knew Col. Crabtree when he
was mayor Of Chattanooga and we
knew at that time, when Chattanooga
claimed to have EIGHT MILLIONS
DOLLARS tied up in the whisky
business, he had the nerve to stand
for the laws which, passed in the leg
islature of 1909 outlawed the liquor
business in TENNESSEE
Col Crabtree states six spacific
grounds for opposition to Governor
Roberts and his nomination-and the
campaign will develope more, in fact,
a member of the legislature tells us
that, in violation of the constitution,
NINETEEN members of the General
Assembly have been made cogs in the
Roberts machine by appointment to
offices. Here is the Crabtree state
ment:
/. The state tax system, of which
he is the author, is vicious, undemo-
cratic in principle, inefficient in oper-
alton, and extravagent in administra-
tion.
The Public Utilities Act, of which
Gov. Roberts is the sponsor, has en-
abled the Tennessee Railroad CONF
mission to override the wishes of To-
cal communities and destroyed sol
emn contracts between the cities of
Tennessee and certain public utili-
ties.
3. Governor Roberts administras
ton is-charged with wanton extray6
teana lnait of<the States fi1
ces, declares Col. Cfabtree, VIII Sn00
that instead Of balance in the State
Treasurer, as is Claimed, there is de-
ficit of approximately $1,000, 600
Gov. Roberts is also charged with ex-
hausting in eleven months the appro-
priation of the last legislature for
the expense of his office, and that :
further expenditures by him for the
rest of the term will be in violation of
the law. >
The administration Of the public
schools, penal and charitable insti-
tutions of the state has been thrust
into politics by putting in the Gov
ernor's hands the appointment of
their heads.
5. in spite of a constitutional pro-
vision that a governor shall not ap-
point a member of the legislature to
an office during the term of which
the latter was elected, Gov. Roberts,
according to Col. Crabtree, has flag
rantly violated the law by appointing
no less than seventeen members of
the last legislature to lucrative Of
fees
6. Governor Roberts is charged
with a contradictory attitude toward
President Wilson, praising the lat
ter's administration of the national
while secretly joining
hands with Senator Shields, whose
antagonism to the President and ali-
ance with Senator Knox and other
Republican leaders is well-known.

A NDREW JACKSON, the unlet-
IA tered backwoodsman, treading al
the heels of John Quincy Adams, the
most cultured In all the line, presents
the sharpest contrast to be seen In
the procession of presidents.
The first president born in log
cabin, Jackson could not claim as his
own even that lowly dwelling In the
North Carolina forest but entered the
world homeless and fatherless. Sprung
from poor Irish immigrants, his par
ents had been In the country only two
years when the father sank into an
unmarked grave a few days before
Andrews birth, leaving his family
without a roof or an acre.
No other among American leaders
received from the War of Independence
such a legacy of bitter memories as it
bequeathed to Jackson. That savage
struggle between Wing and Tory
swept away his brave mother and
both of his brothers; scattered his kim
bred and left him, at fifteen, alone In
the world.
A ragged, rowing waif of the RevO-
luton, he grew up as wild as weed.
With no hand above him, his high
spirits led him into the temptations OF

CHINOOK KING OF SALMON
Individual Fish Weighing From rs to
100 Pounds Have Been Among
Catch Taken.

A much-discussed fish today i,
salmon. Being a good-sized fish and
highly priced as food, it has become
popular in all parts of the world
where fish is eaten.
Probably the largest species OF
salmon in the world" said John I.
Nichols, head of the department Of
recent fishes at the Museum of Nat
ural History, is the Chinook sal
mon, which enters the larger rivers
Of the Pacific coast from Alaska to
California. individuals weighing
from 70 to 100 pounds have been
taken in the far North Like other
Pacific salmon to which it is re-
lated, this species, after getting its
growth in the sea, enters fresh water
to spawn but once, then dies.
"With the large fish which run
upstream there is here and there
small male fish only few inches
long and still showing the black
cross marks which are characteristic
of the parr, or young stage OF all
trout and salmon. These little fish
are sexually adult like the large ones
which they accompany, and, like
them, probably die after the spawn
ing season"

AFooLs AND THEIR MONEY!
Seemingly No End to Methods BY
Which Men Can Be Parted
From Their Wealth.

A Swiss hotelkeeper has papered
his saloon with bank notes. The cost
has proved very little above the nor
NAL price demanded for frst-class
wallpaper. Doubtless the inflated
hotel receipts for permission to view
the novelty will more than cover this
small deficit.
This abnormal state Of affairs is
due, of course, to the collapse in the
exchange, rendering paper marks
and crowns of small material worth,
remarks London Answers.
Bank notes of smaller value still
aourished century ago, although
no one ever thought to use them for
house decorating purposes. In Eng
land, the twopenny bank note was at
one time obtainable, while the 2Ad
bank note held its own in Austria
for a considerable period. Real,
genuine hye-pounders were, how
ever, used by a multimillionaire,
who accepted challenge to utilize
several of these crisp squares for
pipe lights.
A French gourmet found an
equally novel way of wasting money.
He substituted dish Of bank notes
for hors doeuyre and ate the lot.
Nowadays, we are content to see
such official scraps of paper repre-
sented in the form of beef and NUT
ton, and possess no cravings after
the real thing, however edible it
may prove.

his primitive world, whose social
standards were 200 years behind the
times. Drinking, and carousing, gam.

| young Jackson never took a dare, the
rustic sport once stalking his horse and
his all on a throw of the dice. A
bully among rowdies, he went his roy
STEERING way along road that is not
to be laid down on the map of conduct
as course to the White House.
AS he rose from chore boy and q
saddler's apprentice to be lawyer
and judge Of the Supreme court Of
Tennessee, he cast aside the dissipa-
lions of his careless youth, but he
never lost the spirit Of the clansman
or subdued his ungovernable temper.
A bare catalog Of his Quarrels and
fights is too long to be given here. In
most of them he was fred with the
conviction that he was defending the
name of his wife. This had been
brought into question only by his own
characteristic imprudence, when he
fell in love with his landlady's daugh-
ter, while she was yet married to an
other, and when he rashly wed her
without waiting to verify the mere ru-
NOR that her offended husband had
obtained a divorce in neighborfnp
state. After two years of welded life.
the too hasty couple learned that the
woman's first marriage had only Just
been dissolved and they had to make
spectacle of themselves as they went
through another ceremony In order to
be united In lawful bonds.
Because his own impulsive con-
Duct had exposed his honest, devoted
VIE to the slanderous tongues OF the
gosslps, jackson was all the more sem
sitive to her sufferings. For sneering
at ner over bar one man was stood
up at "a PAGES and shot to death by
the avenging husband, who kept his
pistols In perfect condition through 81 |
years, as Barton says, for anyone who
dared breathe her name except In
honor.
Even at the sober age Of forty-six.
jackson plunged into q tavern brawl |
at Nashville with Thomas n. BENTON
afterward the distinguished senator
from Missouri, and was shattered for
IRE by two balls and a slug which
benton's brother shot into his back
Ihat was his last personal alteration.
IN rev weeks he was called from his
,eu 81 pain to take part in public al
creation between the United States
ana Great Britain and, with his arm
sun IN a sling, he rose to do battle for
ais country.

The United States bureau O.
war risk insurance is making ev
cry effort to get word to all ex
service men in Idaho, Of theil
fights regarding compensation
and of the advantages of keeping

The bureau has recently estab.
lished an office in Boise, Idaho
and S. r. Dishman has been sent
cut from Washington, D. C., and
has been placed in charge Of the
operations in this state.
In recent interview Mr.. Dish
man said:
"The United States bureau of
wark risk insurance, Washington,
d. c., is anxious to locate at the
earliest moment every ex-service
man and woman who is entitled
to medical treatment and to have
started to them payments of COM
pensation for any injuries or dis
abilities incurred in the service
or traceable to their service
Congress has made liberal ap-
preparations to aid all those who
have suffered in any way thru
their connection with the army,
navy, or marine corps. Any one
who is suffering from wounds, in
juries or disease contracted, ac-
CELEBRATED or aggravated from his
connection with the service, and
whose disability is 10 per cent or
more is entitled to certain month
ly payments and should report
the fact by letter or in person at
once to the nearest American Lee
gion post or Red Cross chapter,
or direct to the bureau Of war

Ex-service men are entitled to
Is much as $50 per month for

lpon the extent Of the disability.
Since the armistice congress

here are now six kinds Of insur-
nee that the ex-service man can
vail himself of.
Only those who were with the
