And Tennessee had to go and mess up things again by electing a republican governor. Ali Taylor, brother of the late lamented. and illustrious Bob Taylor, has defeated Gov. A. H. Roberts for reelection. Roberts has made Tennessee a splendid executive, but he was slaughtered in the election Tues day by the democrats who opposed woman's suffrage, by the partisans of Senator Shields and by the large property owners who bitterly .op- posed the tax reform measures that were enacted under the Roberts ad- ministration.

We eat no crow. The editor of this paper long ago conceded re- publican victory. Consequently when the returns came in Tuesday night showing landslide for the g. o. peters we told the brethren not to mourn, that it was all for the best. However, a few of the unreconstructed, dyed-in-t -the-wool, pessimistic followers of the donkey refused to be con:oled with a cheer ful view of the situation. They still think the country is damned and ready to be doomed and delivered. Every now and then the Good Lord sends pestilence upon His people to remind them of their short comings. It has been so since the days of the Israelites. Seven years of plenty-seven years of starva- tion--but for lands sakes let us hope it is not forty years in the wilderness.

Suffrage Organization Seeks
Advice

Attorney General-elect Frank
Robertson. who goes into office in
January, has been requested by the
suffrage organizations in Mississippi
to prepare an informal opinion az To
what legislation. if any, will be
needed to make the woman's sui
frage amendment effective in this
state in the event of its ratification
Dy the Legislature. Mr., Robertson is
giving the matter thorough study
and will no doubt express his view
early in January, before the legisla-
tive session.
The attorney general-elect be
lieves. he said, that the mere adop-
ton of the suffrage amendment
does not automatically operate TO
make the woman suffrage amend
ment effective, any more than the
18th and 18th amendments gave all
the negroes the right to vote How
eyer, it payes the way for them to
qualify for suffrage. and the matter
OF qualification is one for further
consideration. Some of the sui
frage leaders who have consulted
attorneys are of the opinion that all
the necessary restrictions and quail
fications can be imposed by statute.
and that an amendment to the state
constitution will will not be neces-
sary.

Hon. w. NJ. Chandler q Visitor tG
Aberdeen

Hon. Walter M. Chandler was in
the city from Sunday until Wednes-
day of last week. the guest of Judge
d. w. Houston.
Mr.. Chandler is a member of the
bar of New York City and former
Representative in Congress from the
State of New York. He is the au.
thor of the celebrated treatise, in
two volumes, on The Trial of Jesus
from a LAWYERS Point of View"
As member of the Faculty OF
Lecturers of the A. f. F. University
in France, he delivered in the sum-
mer of 1919, about 100 lectures to
approximately 100000 soldiers in
France. Belgium. and Germany.
His address on The Battlefields
of France" is a resume of the causes
and consequences of the Great War,
together with his personal recollec-
tons of famous battlefelds. such
as Verdun. Chateau Thierry and the
Argonne.
At the close of his lecture service
with the War Department, Mr..
Chandler went to Russia where he
travelled extensively. studying polit-
ical, social, and economical con-
ditions of the former Empire of the
Gear. In his lectures entitled, The
Russian Situation" and Bolshe-
yism-Its Cause and Cure" he
gives his impressions of Russia, and
at the same time discusses and de-
nounces Bolshevism wherever found
and i'm whatever form it may appear
in the world.
In his lecture on The Great Re.
public Mr.. Chandler makes a
powerful and imprisoned appeal
for respect for the Declaration OF
independence. for the strict obser.
vance of the letter and the spirit OF
our Constitution, and for the main.
tenance of our free institutions as
they were handed down to us by the
fathers. He bitterly denounces al
forms of lawlessness and anarchy
and seeks to sOlidify in America al
the law abiding elements of the
people in defense of the country anC
the flag.
Mr.. Chambers address on The
Trial of Jesus from Lawyers Poin
of View" based upon his books up
on the same subject, has been ,
standard lecture of the American
Lyceum for nearly twenty years. 1
needs no special commentator.
