STATE DIsGRACED

The Tennessee legislature is 3
disgrace to the state. When il
comes that men elected to repre-
sent the people in the law making
body so far forget their duty as to
permit themselves to become the
tools Of, and to be dictated to BY
such men as Mayor Crump of
Memphis, it is time for the honest
yeomanry of the state to stop and
consider where affairs.are drifting.
Mayor Crump, the head Of
Memphis a lawless city, has had,
it seems, absolute control of the
regular democracy, the controll-
ing faction of the Tennessee legis-
lature, and when efforts we're
made to have bills introduced or
measures passed, the members OF
that body would send those seek
ing such legislation to Mayor
Crump to find out whether orSnot
such measures could be put
through. This is not only a re-
Fiction on the manhood of the
Tennessee legislature, but it is a
disgrace to the state.
The majority of the members of
the present legislature have done
many disgraceful things, but they
have done nothing which has re-
flected so much upon their man
hood and proved SO disgraceful to
the state, as permitting themselves
to be used BY a bunch of cheap
politicians who have used them to
further their own political designs
and purposes. How long will the

on new school and church building
at McLemoresville has been let to
Wallace Rains and work will be
pushed to completion as rapidly

his newly named cabinet, whose atten-
ton is directed to the momentous
questions of the day. Not least in the
thoughts of these men who will guide
the affairs Of the greatest republic in
the world for the next four years is
the special spring session Of the Sixty
third congress. The views, principles,

be worth little without the cooperation

ton is not SO favorable for the Dem
Ocratic administration. There the Re

it impossible for the Democrats to get

VOlved more discussion in legislative
halls and out of them than any one
other political issue. The Sherman

new congress.
There are many fresh minds in the
new congress to juggle with the vexing
problems which confront the Wilson
administration. AS many as 100 prac-
tically strange faces will be seen in
the lower house, while thirty-five new
men, most Of whom already have been
heard of in national politics, will have
seats in the senate.

Washington's official life. In the house

lis autumn, the clouds are gather
ing in the sky; the winds are signing
through the tree tops; the flowers Of
spring are fading and the song birds
have flown to fairer chimes.
So perishes things Of earth as the sea-
sons come and go, but behind each
cloud we can find the sunshine OF a
fairer day; we find the cold autumn
winds, in few months, changing to
the calm winds Of spring, as mild and
gentle as baby's breath; we see the
faded flowers replaced by fairer bios
SONS shedding their fragrance upon all,
and we know that other songsters have
come by the chirp and twitter that we
hear in the branches overhead as the
birds fit from tree to tree.
As / note these changes it reminds
me so forcibly Of how typical was the
life eff little Mary Wynn Woodin with
the changes Of nature
On October %, 1906, the little bud
came to occupy her place in the world.
For the first few years Of her life the
pearly petals OF her nature unioIded
and her place in the home circle grew
large and larger and she drew the ten
drills Of love stronger around the hearts
OF her loved ones by her many win
some baby ways. Among her school
mates she made herself an honored
queen by her happy-hearted, loving
nature.
Having known her in her school work
always found her to be Jealous little
worker, always responding cheerfully
and correctly to any task imposed upon
her, and happy only when she had
reached the highest mark Of perfection.
What brilliant future for one SO
ambitiousl But on October %, 1918,
came the blight. Diphtheria seized the
little one and the fair blossom persisted.
To the sorrowing ones, tits autumn;
the clouds are now gathering over their
lives, sorrow is lowering in their hearts,
the fairest flower OF the home has faded
and the happy little song bird has passed
to fairer clime--she is gone, but she
leaves behind a gentle influence,
Be comforted, heartbroken ones, for
she blooms again-in Heaven.
