One Of the interesting probabilities
Of the Congressional campaign is that
Mr.. Brownlow will not be allowed to
go before the people and take judg-
ment by default, Mr.. Russell is Re-
publican, but has never been offensive
ly partisan and would command Dem
ocratic support in addition to h e
strong auti-Bruwnlow element of the
Republican party. He is every whit
clean man, above profanity or fool
jokes, or Shiny tricks, with character
that would appeal to our clean citizen
ship generally. Mr.. Russell is we'll
posted on all questions of the day and
is an orator and his friends see in him
an earnest advocate Of the Hepburn
Bill" Mr. Brownlow is far less for
midsple than he is generally supposed
to be, aud, indeed, much less so than
heretofore. As geueaal proposition
it is only matter of time when the
shrewd tactics of the wiley politician
will fail to delude the people. Is this
the time? 1t is unquesiionably draw
ing nigh aud we hear its Russell.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
Others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
bat some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
ne care but some grow big
d strong while others stay
lall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
y way out of the difficulty
aid weakness often means
walton, not because of lack
food, but because the food
)es not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
d gives the child growing
cngth.
Whatever the cause of weak
IS and failure to grow
otis Emulsion seems TO find
and set the matter right,

The johnson City COMET observes
that eff you will look at Knox and
Shelby counties you will notice that
the people are going to rule this year.
The machine is being put out of bust
ness" The only difference between
the Knox county gang and its contem-
porary at Memphis is that the latter
was foolish enough to allow the peo-
pie chance to express their prefer
ences. The Knox county "organiza-
ton" controls by bosses, and knows
better than to submit anything to pop
ular VOTE But, as the COMET very
properly observes, the peoples time
will come sooner or later, and an en-
tangling bunch of selfish and vicious
politicians will be turned out and forc-
ed to go to work. They may be able
to win this time, for they continue to
hold the machinery that never balks at
any kind of work to win. But that
sort of thing never lasts, and the Knox
vile crowd feel and know that they are
marked. Chattanooga Times.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL NOTES.

AS soon as the Japs can catch the
Russians there may be big battle.
If, as he says, Mr.. Bryan goes to st.
Louis Sin an obscure and private Ca
pacity," he will have to go in coffin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Lehr have new
dog, and Newport is Wild with enthusi-
asm.
Editor Milton of the Knoxville Sen
tinel has laid down the requirements
for perfectly formed woman. He ought
to be ashamed of himself.
Somebody asks: "What is hero?"
He is a man who gets fool to charge
up San Juan hill and then throws
him down and takes the credit away
from him.

The death of Shelton B. Keefauver
is a peculiarly sad one. He was known
to THE COMET as big hearted, manly
man, one of natures noblemen, and as
such he enjoyed the friendship of all
with whom he came in contact. A per-
feet physical specimen, and still in the
thirties, it looked to the world like his
life was just begining,' but He that do
eth all things for the hest willed that
"shelt" should step from life into
eternity in moment. The fact that
ho leaves a wife and little daughter
adds infinite sorrow to an otherwise
sad affection.

Police.
X. X. X

As you in your heading invite all to
speak, l would like to ask a question
or two, with reaent events in mind.
Are there policemen enough in this
town? What can one man do to stem
the tide of vice nightly flowing in all
places? Not that this town is worse
than others but with growth comes ad-
ded needs. Money must be used to
run a town and where can it pay bet
ter interest than in making it safe.
Moral suasion is good, with some PEG.
pie, but there are some entirely out Of
its reach for different reasons and com
pulsion has to step in. Our police
must be protected and there should be
enough to do what is Necessary. Give
us, if possible, strong force, able to
do what is to be done and not put one
lone man up as target for toughs.
There should not be less than six on
duty in different parts of the town,
with some means of calling the others,
if needed. The whiskyites wish to
boast that the town is tougher thar
when the saloon was here and are do.
ing their best (or worst to prove it.
Please give us enough to do the work
1t is not pleasant to have men hiding
from the police, lurking on the out
skirts of town, and begging or stealing
their provisions. For instance, who
got the recorders chickens?

Dana Harmon has had his right arm
amputated. When making the race
for Judge he said he would "suffer his
right arm to be severed from his body
before he would compromise with the
Brownlow crowd or accept anything at

the crumbs from the pie counter, and
been seen with his arms around the
