AUSTIN PEAY THROWS
HAT INTO RING.

Hon. Austin Peay, who was defeat
ed for the guebrnatorial nomination
by Hon. Albert Houston Roberts in
1918, and could not be prevailed upon
to run for the nomination last year,
is now candidate. Hear him:
ITO the Democrats of Tennessee:
Il am constantly being asked if i
will be a candidate. for governor next
year. II wy personal interests and in
clinations were solely consulted /
might not undergo the effort and sac
rifice Of another gubernatorial con-
test. The glare and notoriety which
are insepraable from the governor
ship do not attract me, and for the
sham and bluster of politics | have a
genuine dislike. Other considerations
have controlled my decision. For the
dignity and responsibility Of the
states first office my respect is pro-
found, and for the opportunity which
it opens for earnest and high-minded
service covet it.
"The call to its citizenship from
state and nation is for contribution to
government in patriotic and unselfish
thought and labor, that its frightful
cost may be reduced and sancity and
economy prevail in all its affairs.
"My views ION the matters of first
consideration in this state are known
to the people, and are unchanged
since ] last expressed them. In the
belief that in the event of my election,
j can render a constructive benefit to
the state, in reordering its fiscal in
terests and in sue hreadjustments of
the tax burden as will lift its weight
from our producing class, and further
in purging the state of the mische-
vous politics which has too long be-
set it, have determined to agani seek
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor.
"In due time, as in my last contest,
] will take my candidacy to the peo-
pie. The primary does not occur un-
til next August, and it is now too ear
ly for any detailed statement. My
only purpose is to set at rest my
course in view Of repeated inquiries
on the subject. Respectfully,
"AUSTIN PEAY."

Gen. A. R. Johnson of Burnet,
Tex, One of the Figures
OF the Civil War.
IS STILL HARD At WORK
Vt Eighty-Eight He Looks Back Over
Practically All of the History of
Texas - Lost Eyes In
Battle In Kentucky.

Austin, TeX.-Blindness is seri-
Gus impeachment to most men, but 1t
did not prevent Gen. A. X. Johnson of
Burnett, Tex, from accomplishing
whatever purpose he had In mind
and he has had many purposes. After
he had lost the sight of both eyes the
general built the city of Marble Falls,
made several trips East to interest
capital and succeeded; built water
power plant, school house, shoe
factory, cotton mill, secured rail
road FOR his town, fought Indians and
raised end educated six children he
never had seen. He also has taken a
prominent Part in Texas politics and
civic work since losing his sight. The
general is now eighty-three years old
and is as enterprising as ever.
Brilliant War Record.
Johnson's record in the war between
the states was us brilliant as his work
after the conflict had closed. 1t was
along in 1864 that he lost his sight
from explosion of shot. Johnson is
one of the few remaining generals of
the Confederacy and has been resi-
dent of Texas for more than sixty
years.
When johnson came to Texas be-
fore the Civil war, Kentucky being his
native state, he had charge of a sec
tion of the Overland Mail Route, one
of the links Ia the Butterfeld Mail
Route between New York and Sar
Francisco. The Comanche Indians
often attcRed and killed the station
agents, and in the fights with then

influence of the West has almost
stopped this custom, although 1t Is to
the interest of the government to fos.
ter 1t, as tobacco Is government mo
nopoly."
New Word for "Home" Coined.
Doctor Haden said that II new word
for home-''katei"-has been coined In
Japan to express the meaning and idea
of home life in Western civilization ne
Is being learned by the Japanese.
"The changing conditions of Japa
nese women is only begun, but 1t is pro
ceeding with a rapidity and intensity
which are very significant and hope
full" he said. 1.-THE japanese language
has a word expressing house ant
household, but they had no conception
of home life In the Occident, where
women are on an equal footing with
men. This is now expressed by
'katei,' with the new appreciation OF
home as thing to be shared by hus
band and wife and the gradual rise OF
the japanese women to the position O
their American and British sisters"
Doctor Haden said that the city pop
ulation of Japan Is Increasing ID times
as fast as that of the country, due t.
the change of industry from agricul
ture to manufacturing. More than l.,
100000 are engaged in factory worl
and more than One-half of these are
under twenty years Of age, he said.
Women Discard Sandals for Shoes.
"A significant and interesting indi
cation of the change in progress II

the fact that, while the japanese WON
en- retain the kimonO as their chief ae
tire, they have discarded the obi-tht

of the women now wear a full, divided
skirt, which ties around the waist witt
| wide sash hanging at the side
Many of them also wear shoes instead
of their sandals.
divorce laws also have been re
vised in accord with other transi
lions. Formerly man could send his
wife back to her parents without ex
cuse or explanation. This act consti
tuted legal freedom for him. Now he
can only divorce her for infidelity OF
by agreement with her. The woman
as yet has no recourse against the in
fidelity of her husband, not ever
though he bring concubine into the
home, as frequently has been done.
1.-THE example of Americans, their
homes and schools in Japan, gradually
has altered the hearts and feelings OF
the japanese until now they have beer
induced to effect these changes"
