BOSS REED ON TOP.

Ex-Speaker Reed triumphs at last
over the Democratic party. When he
was Speaker of the House he insisted
on counting for the purpose of making
up quorum all members present,
whether answering or not to their
denounced fiercely as dangerous in
novation. and Speaker Reed was freely
assaulted as Gear Reed" and "Tyrant
Reed" Whether il was an innovation
or not, there was abundant common
sense in the course. and by means of it
the Republican Congress was able to
do more business lsuch as it was in a
week than the present Congress seems
able to do i'll a month. Day after day
the present House has been blocked
by having mo quorum" the Republi
cans, though present. refusing to an
swer to their names, and the Demo
Gratis, though having a clear majority
over all others of nearly 100. being I'M
able to keep enough members In at
tendance to constitute quorum.
Forced at last by the shameful specta-
Gle they were presenting to do some
thing. the Democratic caucus last week
resolved TO do two things: IL To de
duct one days pay from the salary of
each member absent at session of
Congress without leave, and % to in
struct the Committee on Rules to
bring in "A rule by which members of
the House present and not voting may
be taken into account in determining
the existence or nom existence of a
quorum. The question that now con-
fronts suffering country is whether
it has not more cause for fear when
Congress does something than when it
does nothing The Voice

The Tupelo Journal republishes the
fact that Congress on the 10Th of De-
cember last appropriated $1,000 for
mileage to its members without any
authority of law, only forty nine mem
bers voting against the appropriation.
The law provides that each member of
Congress shall be paid $500 per year,
1928 each for stationery, and mileage
at the rate Of % cents per mile, going
and coming, at each regular session. At
the special session a resolution was
adopted making the appropriation for
mileage for the regular session availa-
BILE for the special session. When the
general session met another appropria-
ton was made for mileage. The Jour
nal thinks that this is an outrage and
that the representatives had no right
to appropriate mileage to themselves
contrary to law. The Sentinel agrees
with it.-Idz0O Sentinel, Dem.

The tribute pad - CU7;7-SSs's LEADER
to the w. c. L. U. by that able and dis
tinguished writer and Christian patriot,
Dr. j. b. Gambrell, is both timely and
true. What contrast between these
words of simple truth and justice by
Dr. Gambrell, and a communication
we noticed in the Baptist Record not
long ago from little theological
squirt that is not an elegant term,
but it is the only one we can think of
which at all fits the subject in which
a puny effort was made to belittle and
stigmatize the w. C. T. U. and the
pure. noble, self-sacrificing Christian
women who compose it! With such
friends and defenders as Dr.. Gambrell,
Bishop Galloway, Sam Jones, DR..
Cranfill and hundreds of other distin-
guished Christian ministers and Pro
hibitionists, the w. c. T. U. of this
State and elsewhere, may well afford
to contemplate all such insignificant
mud-throwers III complacent silence.
As for the Record, which processes to
be friend to Prohibition and Tenn
perance, as well as a respectable relig-
ious journal,-it ought to be above
lending its columns to such unmanly
and contemplate assaults upon an or
ganization of Christian women, whose
preme object is to destroy the liquor
traffic and save the homes of all Chris
tendon from the blighting curse of
rum.

The reader of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being con-
stitutional disease, requires a constitu-
tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials.
