Tenn essee seems to be about
the only state in the Union that
has not completed its legislative
organization and got down to the
business of law making. There
the regular Democrats refuse to
be sworn In and nothing can be
done, even the new Governor
can't be sworn in until the legis'
lature canvasses the vote and de-.
clares the result.

are only equaled in the east by the opium
trade, was the Keynote OF an address by
Rev. DIR. Homer Clyde Stuntz of New
YORK, for many years a missionary i'm
India. At the feet OF the British nation
lies the whole responsibility of the curse
that has fallen upon India by the intro
duction of liquor. Dr.. Stuntz declared.
Reports Are Read.
The British government, sanctioned b.
the Christian people. is wholly respon-
sible for the great opium evil that has
spread over the entire east DR. stunt.
declared. and the traffic is authorized
and handled under the direction of tho
British government. There is actually l.
department of opium. similar to Other
governmental departments. which regu-
lateS the trade.
1t is a shame to British Christianity
that such conditions are allowed to exist
for every opium factory is a govern
ment factory and the evil is fully rccor-
niZed and encouraged by the government
because of the money there is in it.
Boston is the greatest port i'm the
world for shipping bad rum OF the worst
grade TO Africa, DIR. StuntZ said. -'anA
this rum. according To- statistics. ma
caused four times az much death amon.s
the native Africans all their disease

sionaries in the world.
