"of course, We are very much in
terested in any movement that will
advance the interest Of and build
u the city. We firmly believe in
great future for Knoxville and feel
that this movement means much
toward that end. I can readily see
the many advantages to be gained
by river transportation. Manufac-
tuners will locate where they can
get cheap transportation for both
raw material and the finished pro-
duct. An open river the year round
would offer every inducement to
manufacturers to locate here, and
there is no doubt in my mind but
that many would seek to locate
here. and in a few years Knoxville
would be a city OF 100000 with all
these possibilities realized or in
view. You can safely say I am in
harmony with the movement"

Persons are accustomed to speak of
the high spirit" OF man or a woman
or Il horse. and call 1; II strong quality.
That depends. A high spirit-temper,
as we call it's valuable only as It Is
under control. Parents do not always
understand this. Too often, when the
young child hOuts itself In Irritation or
In anger, the father and mother laugh
ut the exhibition. Later they learn with
regret that they have an unrestralned
spirit to deal with. Schools do not al.
ways teach self-cOntrOl as they ought.
What Is called discipline IL often an
arbitrary thing adapted better to pro-
woke than to control the temper of chill
dren. More than half Of culture Is con-
troll. And restrained power Is one of
the secrets of success. When men
want power from water they restrain
1t, store 1t up, dam 1t. Why do the tides
rise reslstlessly? Because the swing
OF the ocean Is behind them! Watch the

his own spirit than he that taketh n

boil over gives the spectacle Of the hur.

He Is self-handicapped. Store up your
