Enforce the Law.

The law of Tennessee prohibiting
he sale of coal oil, standing a lower
test than 1902, is good one, but it is
being most shamelessly broken in
many places in East Tennessee, par
ticularly along the line of railroad and
neighbOTing towns. Dealers for the
sake Of a few cents additional profit
on a gallon, violate the law, and place
in jeopardy toe lives and property of
unsuspecting customers. Much of the
oil now sold, particularly that which
comes from the Eastern market, is
absolutely dangerous. That which
comes from the West has to pass q
rigid inspection at Knoxville, and is
therefore of better quality. The law
governing the sale of oil should be
rigidly enforced, no matter who it af-
iects, and the attention of prosecuting
Attorneys is called 10 the matter, to
The end that lives and property be not
fecklessly exposed to such ealamities as
VIII follow if the present disregard of
law is persevered in.

ROME, Jan. 18.-In the italian
Chamber of Deputies yesterday
Signor Depretis, President of the

GOVERNOR MARKS MESSAGE

A large part Of our space to-day is
given up 10 the message of Governor
Marks, and by far the greater part of
that document is devoted to the con-
sideration of the State debt. OF the
ability with which this great question
is discussed our readers must judge !;
but it is evident that while favOring
the reputation of much the greater
portion OF ir, with the hesitatiug, non
comm;ttal policy which has always
characterized ElEs, Gov, Marks still
proposes to shift the responsibility
from his shoulders and that Of the
Legislature and put the question for
decision to the people of the State.
With such sophisticsl arguments as
his to enlighten them and his ipsinu-
atiOns of illegality and fraud, there
can be little doubt as TO how they
would decide. The plea that the
railroads were allowed to pay in the
post war bonds because Of fear of Fed
eral interference is, to say the least,
weak and absurd. Gov. Marks, it will
be seen, puts the bonds into five
classes, the first being the debt for the
Hermitage and the Capitol, is the only
part about which he is fully satisfied,
and he even thinks this should 6e
scaled down.
He is plainly opposed to the States
receiving the TOrbett issue for taxes.
The Governor undoubtedly means his
administration to be a model of econO-
my, but in doing so he should take
care that it is not, also, q page of dis
grace In the States history.

Origin of Pln-AIoney,

The word pin-moncy is not used
much nowadays, and when 1t is, is apt
to be used loosely. It's often employed
to mean an allowance by father or
husband fora daughters or wife's extra
expenses. But its proper significance
Is a woman's allowance for all her per-
sonal outlay, whatever It may be. The
origin'of the torn Is somewhat slngu-
lar, Long after the invention of pins
In the fourteenth century, the maker
was permitted to sell them openly on
the lst and I'd Of January only, when
the court and city ladies crowded to
tho shops to buy them, having been
provided by their fathers and husbands
with money for the purpose. After
pins had become plenty ana cheap, wo-
men spent their money for other
things, but pin-moncy remained in
vogue. The opinion, often expressed,
that pins were invented In franco dur
ing tho reign Of Francis I, and brought
int" England by Catherine Howard, 9th
wife Of Henry VIII, is entirely errone-
Gus. In 1917, two hundred years be-
fore the death of Francis, $4,000 pins
were delivered from tho English royal
wardrobe for tho use Of the Princess
Joan, and flt.y-three years later tho
Duchess D'Orleans purchased Of Jchan
Le Breconnier, a pin. maker of Paris,
several thousands of long and short
pins, besides five hundred dozens of the
l'English fashion, showing that pins
were not only manufactured. but mad
gained widc reputation abroad dur
Ing the reign Of Henry Nv. 1t is esti-
mated that hundreds Of millions of pins
arc manufactured every year In the
United States. What becomes Of all
the pins is question that remains un-
answered and unanswerablo.
