Wait until the list is complete and
here in Tennessee you will see men
toned" for Governor men who are not
only "mediocrity personified" but ev-
en- less than that. Some of them will
have money-and all of the little fish
will be abundantly supplied with gall.
More than that we are just as likely
as not to give the gubernatorial NOM
ination and to place in that honorable
office some man not really entitled to
class as a good country town lawyer.
If we have a man with brains, prin-
ciple and courage for governor and a
suitable legislature to back him up,
great things might be done in Tennes-
see.

If man goes down before the
temptation of money, there is the
least surprise-and if he stands up
against the same and maintains his
character he is entitled to the maxi
mum of praise and credit. Money is
about the only real test of man.

WILLIAM T. BURNS PASSES;
 VICTIM OF APPENDICITIS

William T. Burns, we'll known mining man and highly respected citizen of the Fairbanks district, died in the Fairbanks hospital on Thursday evening, victim of ap- pendicitis. He had been critically i'll for number of days, and his condition was such that recovery appeared very improbable.
 A week or more before he was taken to the hospital from his home on Little Eldorado creek, the de- ceased had been unwell. He con- suited with his physician by phone, but did not appear to regard his trouble at all serious. He was told what he might do to relieve himself. After lapse of week or more, Dr. Sutherland was again consult ed by phone and this time the doctor made a trip to the creek and brought his patient back to town with him for treatment for what appeared at first to be a case of ptomaine poisoning. Examination at the hospital. however, indicated a ruptured appendix. An operation was performed shortly afterward and marked improvement was noted in the condition of the patient in the following two or three days. After that, however, complications developed and the condition of the patient became steadily worse until the end, except for slight rally the day before he died.
 Mrs. Burns followed her husband to town and was with him constantly during the time he was in the hospi- tai.
 Besides wife, the deceased is survived by three children, mother, father, two sisters and three broth
 ers..
 | Billy" Burns located in the Fair
 banks district in the early days of
 the camp and was engaged almost
 continuously in mining, having ac-
 quired considerable property on the
 various creeks, some of his claims
 turning out very we'll. He was also
 a member of the board of directors
 of the First National bank, and served as a member of the terri.
 torial legislature, where he ranked
 among the foremost legislators ot
 the territory. The funeral will be held on Tues
 day morning at 9:30, with service
 at the Catholic church, Father Mon roe officiating.

EXPLAINING LACK OF DETAIL
Youthful Artist Had Excellent Reason
for Leaving Out Characters in
Her illustration.

A primary class in one of the grade
schools was asked to Illustrate a
story that had been read to the little
ones by the teacher. The story told
of three children going to wood in
a goat wagon, and staying until the
sun went down. Most Of the pictures
showed the goat with big horns pulling
the wagon containing the children,
and sun going down behind hill.
One of the small girls in the class
handed in a picture showing merely
q hill and some grass.
''Why, what does your picture
mean?" inquired the teacher. "Where
are the goat and the children2"
"They have all gone home" replied
Opal.
