Since the independents could not
call off the primary, why not abolish
the U. 8. Senate?
The independent convention at
Nashville did just what they were ex
pected to do, endorsed the midget gov
ernor.
Just why Chairman Holden invoked
the spirit of Uarmack to rise and de
feat Patterson we dont know, unless
he thinks the spirit is more powerful
than the desk.
The democratic executive committee
did right in agreeing to hold the Nov
ember primary. It was instructed to
do so by the convention and a majority
of the members kept the faith.
The Sells republicans in Washing'
ton county are going to hold a mass
convention Saturday at Jonesboro to
put out a candidate for representative.
They were so overwhelingly defented
in the regular convention by Dr.
Hoyston that they have decided to go
it alone. They got a few indepen
dents to sign their call to give it stand
ing in the county. If they find a man
to make the race he'll never be heard
of again.
GOVERNOR WILSON
IS NO TRIMMER
James H. Smith, of New Jersey is
not the proper sort of a man to repre
sent the people of the United States in
the United States.
Mr. Smith is a democrat, not from
principal but from strategy. He be
longs to a class of men well represent
ed by Penrose, Quay, Aldrich, Flynn,
of Pittsburg and Foraker of New
York. Mr. Smith was a force for evil
in the great tight for tariff reform
waged by Grover Cleveland. He was
one of the group of men whom Mr.
Cleveland denounced as stealing the
livery of heaven and serving the devil
under it. He was a member of the
conspiring forces that took the teeth
out of the Wilson tariff bill.
In New Jersey Mr. Smith has al
ways trained with a machine. Per
sonally he may be a man of the high
est integrity, but his political opinions
are low. He believes in the power of
dollars and therigetof dollars to or
ganize a victory. If money is needed
to influence an election, Mr. Smith
might not consider it bud morals to
supply the money.
It was an act of high courage on the
part of Gov. Wilson to declare against
the candidacy of James H. Smith for
the ofllce of senator from New Jersey,
It will show to the people of the Unit
ed States that Governor V ilson is not
a trimmer, that he is not an opportun
1st, that he is for right, no matter
whether it costs votes or makes votes,
We do not know what effect his de
nunciation will have on the candidacy
of Mr. Smith. There is this splendid
emocratic minority in New Jersey,
but the recent victories for democracy
in that state have resulted as much
from quarreling! among republicans
as from the strength of democrats. Be
publicans and reactionary democrats
will do everyohing in their power to
give Smith a victory now. They would
use it as a means of discrediting Gov.
Wilson.
In the act of denouncing Smith,
Gov. Wilson goes to a higher plane in
American politics.
' Mr. Taft has bad dealings with Al
drichand with Penrose and with all
of the reactionary republicans. Mr,
Roosevelt passed letters to Harrimfln;
ven. he even invited Harriman to
come o Washington city and discuss
with him what he should put In his
message to congress. The closing par
agraph of Mr. Roosevelt's letter, in
which he referred to himself and Mr.
Harriman, both as practical men, reads
as follows: "And then in a few weeks
hence, before I write my message, 1 1
shall get you to come down to discuss
certain government matters not con
nected with the campaign."
Mr. Roosevelt nay have been moved
by honest motives in this letter, but
the letter itself shows that Mr. Rjose-
veltdid not, then, entertain that ex
alted idea as to the noninterference- of I
big business in polities that he pro
fesses now.
Mr. Roosevelt may have never been
influenced by any of the big business
men of his country, but he has cer
tainly trained with them. This asso
ciation, itself, has resulted in hi3 falla
cious doctrine about good trusts and
bad trusts, the elimination of competi
tion and governmental regulation of
trusts.
Gov. Wilson's associations have not
been with men of this sort. His train
ing has always been with the best
brains of the country and with men
having the most exalted views of the
privilege of citizens, of the duty of the
citizens and the duty of the state to the
citizens.
Moved by such views as these and
influenced by associations, it is no I
wonder that Gov. Wilson has declared
against James II. Smith and all other!
men of his sort Memphis Commer
cial-Appeal.

THIRTY SEVEN MELLOS
WEIGH 3,600 POUNDS
Our old friend : B. W. Akerd of
Weatherford, Texas, sends us a copy
of the Weatherford Herald containing
the following watermelon Jstory:
J. J. and R. W. Harrington, liviug
six miles south of Weatherford brought
in two loads of the large Parker county
Triumph melons Wednesday morning
thirty-seven of which weighed thirty
six hundred pounds, an average of
ninety-seven and eleven thirty-seventh
pounds per melon.
In addition to this, Dan Bull, a
I ... 1 . : i - tui 1 1
brought in twenty-five Melons, which
weighed 2,340 pounds a little better
than a ton.
These melons were photographed by
Randall, the photographer, and a pict
urc of same will appear in the Dallas
News, and other state papers shortly;
also in several magazines.
The largest melon in the bunch, and
in fact the largest of the season, was
raised by J. J. Harrington, and weigh
ed 109 pounds.
The largest melon raised by R. W.
Harrington, who is barely grown,
weighed 107 pounds, and this is me
first year this young man has engaged
in growing melons.
J. J. Harrington has in years past
raised them even larger than this year,
the largest melon he ever raisdd weigh
ing 114 pounds, and iu fact it is claim
ed, so far as known, this was the largst
ever grown, melons by this man taking
the preminm at the St. Louis World's
Fair, as the largest melons in the
World.
Other places send special news items
to the big state papers about 70 and 80
pound melons, when in fact they have
no melons at all beside these Parker
county Triumphs, and the wonder is,
the price they bring, and the money
they bring per acre, that more of them
are not raised in this section,
Messrs. Harrington and Dan Bull
have in about twenty acres this year,
and they will receive off this twenty
acres something in the neighborhood
of $2009, or $ 100 per acre, if not better.
These melons were nearly all sold
locally, and go to all parte of the
United States, one of them being sent
President Taft by r . Erwin an
annual custom now, Mr. Erwin send
ng the President the biggest one in
the bunch, as he did last year.
A number of them have been sent
by express to New York this year, and
last year, Minor Davidson, a local
cotton buyer, sent one to hf& firm in
Liverpool, England, the charges for
transportation of same being over $5,
It costs in the neighborhood of 12.50
to send one of the giant melons to
Denver, Col., or New York City.

Mrs. Marshall is not satisfied with
her domestic duties alone. She wants
to dc her share in problems of the po
litical and business world. Mrs. Mar
shall Is said to 'have' discussed in de
tail with her husband his actiens on
the Baltimore convention, and when it
was seen that Marshall was the man
who was going to go on the ticket
with Wilson he wanted to know what
his wife thought about It.
"It won't be any harder than being
governor of Indiana, and If the party
thinks you are the man It only agrees
with my opinion," she said, and that
settled the matter with Governor Mar
shall. Mrs. Marshall had the honor of be
ing the first woman In Indiana to hold

clerk of Steuben county by her father
and hold that office for a number of

When Governor Marshall and his

companied his wife to the county
clerk's office end watched her with

watched her as she carefully signed
her father's name, with her own as

GREAT WHITE WAY
FOR JOHNSON CITY.
The Tennessee Eastern Electri
Company has presented plans to the!
Commercial club for installing a great
while way in Johnson City. If this
is decided upon it will be a great im-J
provetuent for the city. The Com
mercial club adopted the following!

"The executive committee has In

tion, as to the proposed system and

ASK GOV. WILSON TO
COME TO TENNESSEE.
Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 16. Just
before the state committee adjourned
mend it to the property owners and today, Rice Pierce made a motion in
business men of Johnson City. the form of a resolution, asking Gov,
'The majority of the cities throug. Woodrow Wilson to come to Tenn
out the country have adopted this essee ana neip out ine nominees of
means of beautifying their main thor- 'his state, as the democrats are falling
onehfares nnd claims that it is the in behind him. The motion carried
plied the governor. "It's all right for
you to make It out, but it's up to mo
to pay the fee." And he did.
Mrs. Marshall Is a keen student,
and, having established the practice of
going with her husband on all his
trips, be they short or long, they make
it a point to carry along some books.
Mrs. Marshall Is as much of a hu
manitarian as the governor. A glance
at some of the bills that have been
passed by the 1911 Indiana legislature
gives an insight into the governor:
To curtail child labor.
To regulate Bale of cold storage
produets.
To require hygienic schoolhousea
and medical examination of children.
The prevent blindness at birth.
To regulate sale of cocaine and oth
er drugs.
To provide free treatment for hy-
! drophobia.
To establish public playgrounds.
To Improve pure food laws.
To protect against loan sharks.
To provide police court matrons.
To prevent traffic In white slaves.
To permit night schools.
To require medical supplies as part
of a train equipment
Governor Marshall has also played
tin active part In providing for protec
tion of labor, as is example by the
following acts:
To create a bureau of Inspection
for workshops, factories, mines and
boilers.
To establish free employment agen
cies. To require full train crews.
To require safety devices on switch
engines.
To require efficient headlights on
engines.
To require standard cabooses.
To provide weekly wage, eto.
And Governor Marshall has con
suited with his "partner" on all these
bills. He Is quoted as saying a man
can't go far wrong In taking the ad
vice of a Wife if she is his partner as
well as his wife,

Lexington, in the heart of the Blue
grass, is one of the most historic cities
of the South. The village, out of which
the present city of fifty thousand has
developed, received the name "Lexing
ton" in the spring of 1775, in honor of
the first battle of the American Revo
lution. From a mero cross-roads ham
let, at that early date, the present
beautiful city, with Its wide streets,
stately public buildings and handsome
residences and parks, has grown.
Lexington is a city of churches. The
Disciple have eight congregations in
the city, with a membership of over
five thousand, TheBe have grown out
of the old Hill Street church, which
was succeeded by the Main Street
church, now known as Central. The
Broadway church, established forty
one years ago, is one of the largest
congregations in the brotherhood, and
has been ministered to by Mark Collis
for more than one-half of its history.
I J. Spencer, paster of the Central
church, has directed the progress of
that congregation for well-nigh twenty
years.
It was in the Hill Street church, in
1830, that the union between the fol
lowers of Mr. Campbell and the fol
lowers of Mr. Stone occurred, while it
was in the old Main Street church that
the Campbell and Rice Debate was
conducted in 1837.
Perhaps that which gives Lexington
the greatest distinction among the
Disciples is the fact that Transylvania
University and The College of the
Bible are located here.
In 1798, Kentucky Academy, found
ed in 1794, and Transylvania Semi
nary, chartered in 1783, were consol
idated, forming Transylvania Univer
sity. Bacon College came into exist
ence in 1836, the name being changed
to that of Kentucky University In 1858.
, In 1865, Kentucky University and
Transylvania University were consoli
! dated, the new Institution taking the
j name of the former. After a most suc
i cessful history of forty-three years,
the old name, Transylvania Univer
sity was resumed in 1900.
This Institution has been directed in
an administrative capacity by such
eminent presidents as Jas. Moore,
Horace Holley, Henry B. Bascora, Rob
ert Milligan, John B. Bowman and
Chas. Louis Loos men whose abili
ties in scholarship and In administra
tion entitle them to a foremost place
In the educational developments of
the country.
In 1865, The College of the Bible
was organized, and in 1878 it became
a separate institution. Three profes
sors, John W. McGarvey, Robert Gra
ham and I. D. Grubbe, constituted the
faculty. Robert Graham was made
president, and continued in that capa
city until 1895. He was succeeded by
John W. McGarvey, wno continued as
the administrative head of the Institu
tion until his death, October 6, 1911
The names of these three men Gra
ham, Grubbs and McGarvey are
household words among the Disciples
everywhere, and to them, more than to
any others, we are indebted for the
prosperity and usefulness of The Col
lege of the Bible, which has assisted
In the education of marly four thou
sand preachers of the Gospel.
The present faculty of The College
of the Bible consists of It. H. Cross
field, president; Dean H. L. Calhoun,
Prof. D. C. Deweese, Prof. S. M. Jef
ferson, Prof. A. W. Fortune and Prof.
W. C. Bower.
The courses of study offered by Ths
College of the Bible, requiring eae'i
three years of work, are perhaps not
exceeded In scope and in thoroughness
by any similar institution in the
South.
Transylvania University, the oldest
college west of the Alleghanies, has,
during all the years of her long his
tory, maintained the highest stand
ards, the work done in her classrooms
being accepted at par value by the
great institutions of the East. She
has sent out from her halls a host of
sons of national and international re
pute. Among tho number may be
mentioned Albert Sidney Johnson, Jef
ferson Davis, Roger S. Mills, Justice
John M. Harlan, Jas. Lane Allen and
John Fox., Jr.
The attendance last year In Tran
sylvania was something over six hun
dred. Hamilton College, the Univer
sity Boarding School for Women, had
r.n attendance of three hnudred. Ham
ilton College celebrated her forty-third
anniversary, and has to her-credit
Eeven hundred and thirty-throe
alumnae.
The Lexington cemetery is one of
more than usual note, especially to
those who are interested in the con
spicuous past of the Disciple move
ment. The tall granite Bhaft, over one hun
dred feet high, surmounted hy a heroic
statue, occupying the centra! position,
was erected to the memory of the
Great Commoner, Henry Clay. In the
mausoleum, from which the shaft
springs, are the sarcophiie;!, containing
the ashes of Henry Clay and his wife.
John T. Johnson, "Raccoon" John
Smith, Jno. I. Rogers, President Rob
ert Milligan, President Robert Gra
ham, and President J. V. McGarvey
all found their last renting place In
this hallowed spot. Thousands of Dia
Clplea from every part of the country
every year make pilgrimages to the
graves of these distinguished leaders
of the Current Reformation.
The day after the International Con
vention of the Dleciples of Christ
closes (October 23), Louisville will he
"Lexington Day," and an opportunity
will be given all who wish to visit
Lexington. - The distance is eighty-six
miles, and ample provision will bo
made for the largo number who will
want to make the trip. Most likely
very cheap round-trip rates will bo
given. During the visit of the dele
gates to Lexington, Transylvania Uni
versity and The College of the Bible
will keep open house, and these insti
tutions extend a most cordial Invita
tion to all to come to Lexington.

been erected to shelter It and protect
It from the ravages of time and the
elements, so that our children and our
children's children may come and look
upon the humble place of nativity of
America's greatest son. How splendid
is Its lesson of opportunity in a free
land; how lofty are the ideals of heroic
citizenship that it suggests. It is located near Hodgenville, Kentucky,
few hours' ride from Louisville. It Is planned by the citizens of Louisville
to take the delegates of the International Convention of the Disciples of
Christ, when they meet in that city, October M-22, out to this historic spot.
It will be one of the memorable features of the gathering to the many
thousands of visitors to this great convention.
