Shaming Tennessee.

North Carolina has just unveiled
a monument to James K. Polk near
Pineville in that State. President
Polk was born in Tennessee and
left there at the age of nine years.
He never returned to the State ex-
cepting to 60 to school. Tennes'
see was his home and Tennesseeans
claim him.
But Tennessee has raised NO
monument to her adopted son.
More than that, when the PROPOSE
ton was made to purchase the Polk
home in order to preserve 1t as
historical monument, the Legislature
of Tennessee turned it down.
Worse again: In order to make
the property more valuable, Ten
nessee permitted the remains of heI
honored son to be dug up out OF
