We see it stated that the new Assis
tant Secretary of Agriculture is likely
to be Professor Charles W. Dabney,
Jr., President of the University of
Tennessee, and Director of the Tenn
essee Agricultural Experiment Station
at Knoxville. The Assistant Secretary
has charge of the more scientific work,
experiment and researchesof the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
therefore a thoroughly qualified sci
entist is desired. Professor Dabney
has many excellent qualifications for
the position. He is a good deal of a
scientist, a man who is highly gifted
with much tact and ability to put
scientific work in a way to benefit
practical farming. It is said further
more that the administration is inclined
to favor a Southern man for this
position. Dr. Dabney will be re
membered as being former State
chemist of North Carolina, which
position he resigned to go to the
University of Tennessee.
The victories won by the Republi
can party on Tuesday last were simply
the result of a great big senseless
scare. With a little time for reflec
tion a majority of those who contri
buted to said victories, will see the
bugaboo that fooled them in its true
light, and be ashamed of themselves.
Regarded from a National standpoint,
the Republican victory is a compara
tively barren one. The Democratic
party has still a three year grip on the
reins of Government. Bellefontaine
