CANAL PAPERS
OF ROOSEVELT

Mr.. Tinman stirred up a sensation
in the Senate this afternoon by pre-
senting 4 resolution calling on the
President TO transmit 10 the Senate all
the correspondence and papers in con-
mectiOn with the securing Of bids on
construction of the Panama canal, the
failure to award the contract TO w. J.
Oliver, and information as 10 the pres
ent status OF canal construction mat
ters
In connection with the resol ltion.
Senator Tillman had read extracts from
divers famous interview. in which he
declared he had been whang- doodled.
Senator TillmaH addressed the Senate
briefly on the resolution declaring there
had been some remarkable transactions
IN connection with the canal. First,
Engineer Wallace had resigned; then IL
developed that Chairman Shonts. while
Eoldlng the onice OF chairman. was
drawing salary as the president Of the
Glover Leaf. and then had come the
sudden resignation Of SIR. Stevens.

a1Oat as 10 what was back Of q, and
there WAS a great deal OF smoke He

that he was thoroughly competent in the
way Of controlling labor, and in every
way efficient Mr.. Oliver. he said, had

had been presented 10 him, and there
wCs reason TO believe that certain bid
ders VINO had been too greedy in max
ing their bids had been trying 10 force
him 10 share the work with them. He
said he wanted information on the sub
jet, and thought the resolution should
be passed
Senator Culberson called the Senate
attention TO the fact that rumOrs were
once more afiOat that proper foundation
could not be secured for the Gatun dam.
He thought that provision should be
made in the resolution asking the Pres
ident to transmit further information
on this subject. Senator Hopkins OBJ
jected 10 immediate consideration OF the
resolution and on HIS objection IL went
over until Monday. Senator Carmack
spoke briefly. and declared that Mr.

SALARIES TO RISE
IN MAIL BAG SHOP
Officials Say Discharge of
Al Employees Was for
Good of Service.

That the dismissal Of forty-one en-
ployes Of the Government Mail Bag Re
pair Shop yesterday morning was for the
good Of the service and that It will
result In an increase in wages for all
the employees remaining in the shop. is
the information issued from the Post
office Department today.
1t was also stated that the dismissals
are frrevocable. that the Postmaster
General had considered the matter a
long time personally before ordering the
dismissals and that the action was taken
only after an exhaustive investigation Of
the personnel and methods In the shop
An important sequel to the action tax
en- yesterday will be the placing OF the
employees on a per diem pay roll instead
of having them paid by the piece-work
system, which is now in operation IN
the shop.
Report Kept Secret.
The officials OF the Postoffice Depart-
ment who made the investigation Of
several months covering the methods
and personnel in the shop were Theo-
dorc Ingalls,. Carter B. Keene. and G. f.
Shaw All three refused today to make
public their report, as it is confidential
document 1t is understood however.
that an explanatory statement may be
Issued lated by the department showing
the ample grounds as claimed by the
department. for the forty-one dismissals.
II was said unofficially today that
there was good ground for all the dis
mssals
Nevertheless, when the forty-one af-
fected by the change were handed their
dismissal slips yesterday morning.
pathetic scenes were enacted In the
number were two old soldiers and there
were many old men and women who
saw themselves face to face with n
penniiess old age. Some shed tears.
while others were crushed to mournful
silence by the blow.
There were two women. however.
whose Indignation led them to make an
OutCry against the order. They engaged
IN heated discussion with the fore
man of the shop. In which the foreman
was blamed for the dismissaIs. He
summoned Superintendent w. B. Sc
we're. Mr.. Seyere's entrance seemed TO
lnfiame the women further. and, before
order could be restored. the police had
10 be called to remove the angry women
from the building
In the shop TODAY there is the great
est excitement and alarm because of
the fear that further dismissals are 70
come.
But it was stated at the Postoffice
Department that no more disTnissals are
expected at this time. The fOrtv-one
made yesterday were preliminary TO set
ting the work OF the shop on a new
basis, and the enforcement of this new
employed.

HARRIS PARKS.

We are authorized to present
to the readers of The Commercial
this week the name of Harris Parks
as candidate for Trustee of Obion
County. Mr.. Parks is native OF
Dyer County and a descendant Of
one of the substantial and worthy
citizens of that county. He sue
ceeded f. o. Watts as cashier of
the First National Bank of Union
City, which position he held with
credit to himself and benefit to
the bank for nearly ten years, SO
much so that he is known as one
of the most capable and compe-
tent bank officials and accountants
IN the State. After the recent ad
justment of the Trustees books
Mr.. Parks was appointed Deputy
Trustee, and in the same efficient
manner that bis bank business
succeeded the Trustees business
has been handled by him. Mr..
Parks is not only qualified, but he
is an honorable gentleman, worthy
and reliable in every way. More
than that be is courteous and obIig-
ing, attentive, diligent and pains
taking. Mr.. Parks is also a Dem
ocrat, and like everything else he
does he is steadfast in his fealty
to the principles of that party.
If elected Mr.. Parks will MT only
make the county capable officer
but he will make an excellent
Trustee.

Religious view.

/ have been asked several times what
about this scripture, Matt s; lip.
This is what | say; a centurian Of
the Roman army had just manifested
greater faith In Christ than the jew
ish people The sons Of abraham had
and that fact led Jesus to make the
prophetic declaration. that many from
the east and the west should come and
sit down with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob IN tie Kingdom 81 Heaven,
while the unbelIeving Jews though
the natural posterity Of Abraham and
heirs Of the promise through Christ,
would at last be cast into outer dark
ness On account Of their rejection Of
Christ. All true believers from the
GENTLE world viii be saved through
Christ, while all the unbeIievIng Jews
who In this verse are The children of
the Kingdom VIII be cast into outer
darkness; will be lost.

The idea Of improving the roads
by districts as suggested at the
roads convention Monday may be
the proper thing. 1t would indeed
cause less friction, but would it be
legal or practical that is the ques-
ton. Ii it is found out that this
plan will not do why can't the
County Court agree on certain
through route in the county in max
ing provisions for road construc-
ton by the entire county. If good,
hard, waterproof roads are to be
built and the county is to build
them then why can'tthey also agree
ona stretch of road leading through
the county. Union City cannot
hope or expect to get all the good
roads first built, leading different
ways from the city, like jackson.
Neither can Troy, Obion or any
other town expect the same thing.
First agree on the roads and then
provide for the money with which
to build them.
