well be propounded, isn't it a handicap
to Tennessee?"
1t must be admitted that these divi-
sions do constitute a handicap in sew
eral respects. Whatever may have
been the reasons for recognizing and
encouraging these divisions In the con-
stitutiOn of 1884 and continued in the
constitution of 1870, the time has come
to do away with such political distinc-
tions in our governmental plan. A cit
izen of Tennessee is a citizen of Tennes-
see, whether he live in East, Middle
or West Tennessee, and there should be
no handicap upon his claims as a citi-
zen for political favor because of the
location of his residence. The geo.
graphical features are immovable, but
they are not sufficient to justify the
separation of parts of the state into
distinct political divisions. We are one
people and in indissoluble association
in the commonwealth and there should
be no legal or constitutional sanction
for dividing us as a people. The reniov-
al of this constitution of the state into
distinct political divisions necessary
Improvements in our fundamental law
should be the work of constitutional
convention. Nashville Banner.

The interior has been divided into
several compartments, viz; Main audi
torium, pastors study, society rooms,
and Sunday-scho class rooms, by
large rolling panels, finished in golden
oak. The blending and harmonizing
of the colors are at once noticeable and
pleasing, while the beautiful many

is sweet and restful. There are many
handsome and costly windows, which
have been donated by members in

many.
La. Junta may have lost some
grown up people during the hard
times. but from the school enroll
ment it looks as though they left all
the children.
Fine new lavatories have been in
stalled in the Lincoln building. The

commended for this change.
The athletic prospects are espe-
cially fine La Junta will have un-
usually strong Basket Ball and Foot
Ball teams. The foot ball team will
be heavier than last years team.
