FORMER GOVERNOR
OF TENNESSEE IS
DEAD AT Age OF S3
Alfred o. Taylor, Republican,

Southern Politics =

johnson City, Tenn, Nov. 25.--tR)
Former Governor Alfred A. Taylor,
80, for years one of the most color
full figures In Tennessee politics, died
here early Wednesday.
The old political leaders two sons
Frank and Blaine Taylor. were with
him when the end came.
Among the few Republicans to be
elected governor of that state, he did
not attain the office until "a years
after the famous brother VS.. broth
er" contest of 1886, in which he op-
posed his brother, the late United
States Senator Robert L. Taylor.
That contest for the governorshir
of Tennessee, which came to be call
ed 1.-THE War of Roses" held the at
tention of the country throughout the
campaign.
The two brothers campaigned to-
gether. ALI, as he was familiarly
known throughout his life, was the
Republican candidate and during the
campaign wore a red rose in the
lapel of his coat. Robert, the Demo
cratic candidate, countered by wear.

Despite the fact that they differed
politically, the two brothers conduct

Robert, the Democrat, was elected
and later represented his state In the
upper house of congress.
Three years later ALI, the Repub.
lican, was elected to the 5lst con.
gress and was reelected to the 52nc
and 53rd congresses. The succeeding
years with consistent Democratic
successes in state elections failed tt
lessen his hope that some day he
would be governor of his state. The
situation in 1920 appeared to him a.
the opportune time. He had reached
the age of 70 and his candidacy was
opposed by some on the grounds thai
he was too old to make the campaign
ALI Taylor's vigorous spirit wa:
aroused by such opposition. He wa:

Following an alteration with his
wife, Schan seized shot gun and his
wife, endeavoring to disarm him,
struggled with him. During the tuS-
sle, the gun was discharged, tearing
hole in the floor. Wrenching the
gun from his wife's grip, Schaff
struck her over the head with the
firearm.
Two sons working in the yard heard
the guns discharge and rushed into
the house. Mike jumped on the man

Mike fled, his father fired at him.

GOLD SAFE IN UNITED STATES

Uncle Sam seems to be depress- ed and Respondent in the midst of plenty. Not only do we have bumper crops of corn, wheat and cotton, to say nothing of fruits and garden vegetables, but we have too big a supply of gold. It is said that at this time there is about five billion dollars worth of gold in the United States, and more seems to be on the way. The Federal Reserve Board has repeatedly made efforts to discour- age the flight of gold to America but apparently to no avail
 Internationalists have endeaEored to blame the abundance of gold here and the scarcity of the metal in every other country in Europe, ex- cepting France, on to the war debts and the balance of trade. They all lege that since we have a protect i've tariff, other nations cannot pay for our exports in goods and con- sequently must send us gold. The argument is not sound. In the first place our balance of trade is not large, in fact it is negligible when We take into consideration the cash exports" in the way of tourist ex- penditures and money sent to Eu- rope to relatives by aliens or new citizens in the United States. And again, more than half of the imports coming to America, enter duty free, while it is true that under our new tariff the value of imports coming duty free has shrunk just as much as the value of the imports on which a tariff is paid.
 The fact is that the greater part of the worlds gold is coming to the United States now, because the own CTS of the gold feel that the United States is safer depository for gold than any other country in the world. This in spite of our depres- sion, the measure of which would be regarded as good times in many other lands. And when the gold owner feels that his money is not exactly safe at home he is very apt to ship it to place which he re- gards as secure.-Ex.

automobiles, bath tubs, artists, silk stockings, and all that these stand for, the ten per cent foreign market goes bad and the fingers of distrust grip the internal trade.
 What if the foreign market was Ieut off-the whole ten per cent which certainly hasn't happened? The result would be troublesome, es- pecially for those few industries which specialize in foreign ship ments, such as the lumber industry of the Pacific Northwest; but a 10 per cent reduction of the prosperity of 1928 should not, after all, make any great difference in our nation al life. That margin could be absorb ed, in fact, by the practice of effi- ciency and the elimination of wastes that crept into the system in the free and easy times. If our own people had been able, psychological ly, to ignore foreign trade condi- tions as they were revealed in the autumn of 1929, the period of de- flation would be hardly notice able at home.
 The tragedy is that under the present conditions, with most people who have money hiding in the fi- nancial storm cellars, much of the advantage which we won in the days of confidence is being lost to us. We forged ahead of other na- lions through mass production, mechanical supremacy nd x the strength given by a sense of den sity. But a rower cannot rest on his cars without the ones behind him catching up. We are still far ahead-what are we waiting for r2- Portland Oregonian.
