requirement applies as well to blends

kinds, i. e., straight whisky, rectified
whisky, re distilled whisky and neu-
trail spirits whisky or like substances
and mixtures of such WHISTLES, with
or without harmless color or flavor used

only, are blends under the law and
must be so labelled. In labelling
blends the act requires two things to
be stated upon the label TO bring the
blended product within the exception
provided by the statute:
First-The blend must be labelled,
branded or tagged SO as to indicate
plainly that it is blend, in other
words, that it is composed of two or
more like substances, which in the
case of whisky must each be of itself a
whisky; and,
Second-The word blend must be
plainly stated upon the package in
which the mixture is offered for sale.

the republican executive committee
when it met at Greenevile last Satur-
day, he is by no means pleased. His
friends are advising him not to abide
by the rules, which were published in
the Jonesboro Herald and Tribune this
week, and which are of such length as
to take up two or three columns of fine
print.
In the first place, it is pointed out
that the primary is not called for March
10, as was originally reported from
Greeneville, but for April ., provided
the supreme court declares the new pri-
mary constitutional. 1t is next pro-
vided that in the event the primary
law is not upheld that the district pri-
mary shall be held on Saturday, March
10. 1t further provided that persons
desiring to enter the contest for the
nomination shall file notice of their in
tention on or before the 25 of the pres
ent month. The friends of Senator
Sells declare that this arrangement is
absolutely unjust to him, and that II
was schemed and planned for the pur-
pose of making trap for the senator.
They declare that had the committee
intended to be fair, it would have set
the primary a later date than April 2
in the event the primary law is not
upheld, rather than bring it baek al
most to the present time, leaving Sen

TAFT'S DECISION
is FORMULATED
BLENDS MUST Be LABELED
Coloring and Dilutions Permitted.
Must be Markcd-Regulation
by Food and Drugs Board.

Washi n ton, Feb. 2l.-President
Taft's decision in the liquor controver-
sy that whisky is whisky" whether
it be blended or straight, has been for
mulated in set of regulations prepar-
ed by the board of food and drugs in
spection of the department of agricul-
ture. The regulations have been
approved, as required by the pure food
law, by Secretary Wilson, Of the de-
partment of agriculture; Secretary Nc
Veagh, of the treasury, and Secretary
Nagel, of the department of commerce
and labor.
In brief, the regulations declare that
all unmixed spirits distilled from grain
prepared in the customary ways are
entitled to the name ''whisly" without
qualification. Blended whisky must
be labelled as such.
The term "whisky,n however, is re-
stricted to distillates from grain and
under the regulations, distillates from
other substances, if labelled whisky"
are misbranded and the person guilty
of misbranding may be prosecuted.
The regulations follow:
"Under the food and drugs act of
June 30, 1905, all unmixed distilled
spirits from grain, colored and favored
with harmless color and flavor, in the
customary ways, either by the charred
barrel process or by the addition of car
amel and harmless flavor, if of potable
strength and not less than eighty proof
are entitled to the name whisky with
out qualification.

SAYS LAW Is A
DISMAL FAILURE
SALOON IS ONLY SOLUTION
Ex-Shetiff Was Ardent Advocate
Of Present Prohibition Law.
Impossible to Enforce 1t.

Nashville, Feb. 1S.-The Nashville
American will print tomorrow the fol-
lowing story, which doubtless will be-
come the most important declaration
made in Tennessee for many years, and
will necessarily have serious bearing
upon the issues of the pending cam
paign as ennnciated in the platform of
the democratic party.
The story has to do with ex-Sheriff
J. ID. Johns, of Davidson county, who
was one of the most active and poten-
tial leaders of the statewide movement.
Mr. Johns is, however, man of cour-
age, and has practical knowledge of the
workings of the law which he helped
to get on the statute book. In his in
terview, printed below, he admits that
an error has been made, and that harm
has been done by attempting to force
laws on certain communities against
their wishes and WITHOUT their consent.
Mr.. Johns was the candidate for may
or against Hillary Howse at the recent
municipal election on platform of
'law enforcement, as he called it. He
made an active canvass and succeeded
in drawing the lines taut. He was ov-
erwhelmingly defeated which, together
with the apathy of the people toward
the "wide open" situation in the capi-
tai city, has convinced him of the mis-
take the legislature made, and has con-
strained him to deliver a message to
the people of Tennessee, which he has
done after due conscientious considera-
ton and sincere conviction. He has
abandoned none of his serious convic-
tions on the question of temperance,
but he tells the people that the method
adopted is failure, and, therefore,
must be modified.
How the Interview Got TO the Public.
A few days ago Mr.. Johns was dis
cussing with two intimate friends the
conditions in Tennessee anent the state
wide prohibition law. he was deplor-
ing the Intellectual attempts through
out the state of the enforcement of the
statewide statutes. Gentlemen"
said he, 81 have concluded the people
are law unto themselves and we
have committed the error of disregard
ing the sentiment of the people. l am
convinced we have been cropping in the
dark, blinded by personal prejudices
and by intemperate influences to injure
rather than aid true temperance and
that respect for the law which will
render inevitable its enforcement"
One of the gentlemen TO whom Mr..
Johns remarks were addressed, himself
an origininal state-wider, but now con-
vinced of the intemp,rance of state
wide legislation as enacted in Tennes-
see, asked the former sheriff If he OBJ
iected to have his views stated publicly.

Thomas Moran's early painting OF the

strange scenery of southern Utah and
was for a long time quietly residing In
this city, which he made his headquar-
ters when securing work from the south
ern part of the state. work that has since
made him famous. 1t Is peculiar that
Moran secured the greater number of his
sketches from the Utah side of the Grand
canyon and yet the canyon Itself is eX-
plotted as a feature OF Arizona, This
is largely due 10 the fact that the

tising this wonderful gorge. has to reach
