Walt Brownlow had conference with
himself the other day, and it is now
given out that Tennessee is for Roose-
welt.
East Tennessee republicans are get
ting bored by the names of Brownlow
and Gibson, and if there is not new
deal soon, East Tennessee may con-
clude to go democratic.
Sigh Lyle cut down Brownlow's ma
jority more than 1000 votes, and in one
or more counties he was the victim of
treachery, too. Sigh is a good boy,
and he will yet redeem the First dis
trict.
In one of the districts in Tennessee,
it is said, that the prohibitionists lined
up against the democratic nominee for
the Legislature and supported the OPP
posing candidate, who is one of the
ablest booze-fghters in the state.
When the moonshiners of Cy Lyles
district found out that their guide, phil
osopher and friend, Editor Reaves,
would not be allowed to address them
on the Peeler proposition, they went
right off and voted for Brownlow in
droves.

Knoxville Coal Question.

A committee from the Knoxville
Chamber of Commerce will go to Wash
ington City this week for a conference
with General Manager Eckert, of the
Southern Railway, concerning the coal
situation. The mines around Knoxville
are not getting anything like all the
cars they need, and the city of Knox
vile is suffering from the high prices
of coal, Notwithstanding the fact that
it is very close to the coal fields and
has two or three railroads.

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it,
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale anc
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

According to The Utah Socialist,
President Morrell Of the Cache Stake
in speaking before the recent confer
ence at Salt Lake referred to the
sugar factory at this place and
thanked God for the institution be-
cause it would furnish work for the
boys and girls" The Socialist then
goes of in TRADE wholly irrelevant to
the idea contained in Pres. Morrell's
remark. The Socialist makes him
mean that he desired the boys and
girls to work for works sake, and that
alone. This is merely an example of
the way In which our Socialistic
friends often mistake themselves,
other people, and conditions. Work
is blessed thing, but no one desires
another to work for works sake alone.
and such was not the tenor of Pres.
Morrell's remarks. Since 1t is neces-
sary for the people of Cache valley to
work, President Morrell, and the en-
tire populace, are thankful that the
sugar factory is here and furnishes the
work.
