WHAT 1TJEANS
fitterson's Defeat May Give Tennessee
to the Republicans
IN THE NEXT ELECTION
Ilut the Democrats, Though Willing
to Adopt Desperate Measuies to
(let Kid of Patterson and His
Methods, ho Not Contemplate VI
timute Surrender of the State.
There are a great many people
who do not understand the political
iituation in Tennessee, which Zach
McGhee makes perfectly plain in a
ietter to The State. He says the
triumph of the independent judicial
ticket In the election on last Thursday
means the beginning of the end
of what has come to be known as
"Pattersonlsm" in Tennessee. The
partizans of Gov. Patterson have
been calling their organization the
Democratic party and hence trying to
create the impression that the election
of the Patterson judges, as well
as the election of Patterson himself
in Novenibei. was necessary to the
salvation o* the Democratic party.
Tlie i?de|M?ndents or anti-Pnttersou
Democrats, on ?4ie contrary, have
been declaring that the only salvation
of tho Democratic party and
more especially of IK?mocratic prm- J
ciples in government was the defeat
of Patterson and the complete destruction
of the Patterson machine.
To get rid of Patterson these Democrats
have got to the point where
they are desperate and have employed
desperate means. In talking one
day to one of the Independent Democratic
lenders and campaigners in
east Tennessee, I rather vaguely suggested
that rumors were afloat to the
effect that She Republicans were be
ing encouraged to vote with the antiPnttersou
men by the hope of electing
a Republican governor. I did
not want to come right out with
it, fearing that such a thing as a
deal with Republicans was of too
defecate a nature for n campaign
manager to admit, or even to discuss.
"Oh. we make no bones of it."
he declared, suddenly, as he saw how
delicately I was trying to broach the
subject. "We have told the Republicans
that if they will help us defeat
Patterson's judges and not put up
any Repuolicutis for judges we would
not nominate in independent Democrat
for governor."
If that .agreement is adhered to
4?y the Independent Democrats,
(here will beyond all question be a
Republican governor of Tennessee
next time. It is not at all certain,
however, thai there will be no Independent
Democrat nominated for
governor. Those men In east Tennessee
are willing to carry out their
agreement to the letter, but there is
a strong disposition in middle and
west Tennessee to nominate a Democrat
against Patterson, not indeed
with any ideo of electing him. for
Ihey, too, aro willing for the Republican
to be elected, but because
they know full well that there are a
large number of Democrats who will
not under any circumstances vote for
a Republican.
The fear is that unless there is
another Democrat running Patterson
will he able to get these votes by his
powerful appeal to partisanship. The
strictly partizau Democrats, who are
Democrats on prejudice rather than
on principle, but whose prejudices
ore strong also against Patterson,
will have another Democrat to vote
for. They will be "assistaut Republicans,"
though, if voting for a Republican
for gove-nor against Patterson
cons'itutes being a Republican.
It ?s a subterfuge, and these
men who propose doing it admit that
it is, but. rs 1 liave said, they are
taking desperate means to get rid of
Patterson.
The anti-Patterson men had entire
charge of the election machinery in
this election. Heretofore Patterson
has had all the machinery in his
own hands The anti-Patterson men
have always declared that Patterson
cover fairly defeated Cnrmack two
years ago, but that he was counteo
in. Whet'iei this be true or not.
there was a majority of anti-Patterson
Democrats in the legislature,
whic.li majority was extended bv a
coalition with Republicans into
enough to '-ass the new election law
over the go ?ruors veto.

AWAKENING NEEDED
PAY9AN WRITES INTERESTINGLY
ABOUT TAXES.
Kays There Are Manx People Who
Know Nothing of What They Pay
in Tariffs.
Editor of The State:
Is it not : usstng strange, that an
issue which is paramount to all other
economic issnes should be ob
Hfureu hiiu Kepi in me uacKgrouuu
aB the tariff has been?
How man/ men of even average
intelligence know what a tariff is.
what a revenue tariff is, what a protective
tariff is, and what is the difference
between a protective, and a
revenue tariff? Should we not be
ashamed to admit that we do not
"know what taxes we pay, or understand
our national fiscal system?
How many men know that every
time they purchase goods they pay
taxes? Hut this is an indirect tax
and is not recognized or realized
Hut it is a tax nevertheless, and a
very heavy one at that, and to which
State, county and municipal taxes
are a mere drop in a bucket in comparison.
Will the people ever throw off this
incubus? No! Never, until they are
educated as to what it means.
Aside from Christianity, what
concerns man most in this sublunary
world? Ways and means of improving
our conditions, making a good
comfortable living, and the education
of our children. The shortest, quickest
and most direct cut to this goal
.s what every natural man is seeking
to find out and striving for every
day. This is not only his natural
right and privilege, but is his bounden
duty.
Whatever unjustly Interferes with
this right, whatever detracts from or
impairs the means to this end, it is
man's privilege, right and duty to
remove, if possible. An unnecessary
fax is an unnecessary burden, and
unjust interference with man's Godgiven
right tc improve his condition,
his efforts to make a living, to educate
his children, his comforts, civilization,
iu fact everything which
makes life worth living.
The so-called protective tariff contributes
nioie to tlie high cost of
living, it does more to retard the
improvement ana material growtli
of uur country than any other factor,
and perhaps more than all other
agencies combined
Ueyond a revenue tariff, all tariffs
are robbery, robbery of the
many for the few, making colossal
vealth for some by taking away from
others. If a dozen men have a million
of bricks between them, taking
any number from what each possesses,
and giving them to some of the
others, it does not make the aggregate
number of bricks any greater,
but does reduce the aggregate number
of thos? from whom they were
taken.
'.VIr. Lever may plaster hts vote on
lumber as muck as he pleases, but
that does not change the effect which
the duty will have ou the price of
lumber. He says the duty which he
voted for will not affect the price of
lumber in the South.
If putting a duty on lumber does
not increase the price down here
i.oes not Mr. Lever know that the
consumers will turn away from Canadian
lumber and purchase in the
South? In that event there would
be no use of the duty. Yet he
insistently says the duty will put
three millions of dollars in the treasury.
iu mi urs xne consumers must
purchase enough from Canada to
make the revenue from importation
three millions, which they would not
do If they could got it cheaper in
the South. It is estimated that to
raise three millions of revenue, the
consumers must pay one hundred
millions more for their product
I than they otherwise would have to
pay.
Would that some abler pen would
arouse the people to see the tariff
as it is, and cause then to agitate,
and educate until it is reduced to a
revenue basis alone Paysan.

Train.?The Dbuuiter Occurred on
a Sharp Curve.??'The Smoking Car
Suffered Most.
Thirteen passengers were killed
and at least twelve were injured on
Monday night when a passenger
train bound from San Francisco to
Santa Rosa on the Northewestern Pacific
railway was struck by a special
locomotive and caboose south of Igaaclo,
California.
M?.st of those injured were riding
In the smoking car. They were residents
of Petaluma, Santa Rosa and
other nearby towns.
Several It Is reported were delegates
to Lhe state convention of Red
Men, which meets at Santa Rosa.
The wreck occurred at a sharp
curve. The passenger train was
traveling forty miles an hour and
the locomotive and caboose were also
going at good speed.
At the office of the train dispatcher
it was said that one of the conductors
had made a mistake in his
orders and failed to take a siding.
Just before the collision the passengers
were jerked forward by the
setting ol the brakes. Then there
came a terrific impact and the sound
of escaping steam. The two engines
cashed into each other. The baggage
car and the smoking car were
telescoped.
When the dazed passengers made
their way out of the rear coaches
unharmed, they heard the shrieks
and groans of the injured.
The 30 passengers in the smoking
car were caught among broken seats
and splintered timbers, and those
who were not killed were unable to
help themselves.
A few men made their way to the
forward end of the smoking car
where the greatest damage had been
done. Kflorts to open windows or
remove broken timbers were fruitless.
Work on the rear half of the
smoker was easier. Some of the rescuers
scattered to nearby houses to
telephone for help, while others
sought to get the injured out of the
wreck.
A headless corpse was found lying
by the side of the track. Another
body wn8 found in a sitting josition
in a window of the smoker.
The engines met with such force
that the engine of the work train,
which consisted of a caboose and
two light fiat cars, shunted the pas
senger engine to one side and plowed
part of the way through the baggage
car causing the baggage car
and smoker to telescope.
Relief trains were rushed from
both ends of the line to the scene
of the wreck.
Some of the dead were brought
to San Rafael and some to Santa
Rosa. The injured were taken in
various directions, making the list
of names difficult to obtain. At midnight
there were bodies still in the
w reckage.
TOO MANY FOR HIM.
Driven From lli.s Ship by Herds of
Mosquitoes.
Driven from his ship by the attacks
of mosquito hordes at a lumber
camp in the Everglades Monday,
Capt. Graham I.owe, of the schooner
Emerald, made a 4fi hour journey to
Key West, Fla., without food or water
and eighteen hours were spent
in desperately clinging to the bottom
of a little "dinkey," in which
the eventful trip was made. The
"dinkev" was overturned by a sud
den squall and on several occasions
Cnpt. Lowe was hurled from the vessel
by the waves. He managed to
reach shallow water, however, righted
Mie little vessel, and completed
the sixty-mile trip late Wednesday.
An expedition will be sent after the
crew ot' the vessel, six negroes who
refused to leave the swamp when the
mosquitoes drove the captain away.
