Tale Of Two Bold Egg Men

Here is another tale of the egg men.
Damon and Pythias of Morris avenue,
namely William F. Donovan and F. W.
Backford. were sitting cozily in their
private sanctum recently discussing the
pet topic of all fatuous plutocrats-the
cutting down of expenses in their large
emporium wherein their cold storage
vaults rests the egg that the prehis-
toric hen laid.
The discussion waxed wroth for some
time and both partners agreed to de-
duce all around. ''Blackie" even promised
to reduce weight and the discussion drift
ed to other topics and finally the weather.
sChief Guesser of Fountain Heights"
Horton had been predicting coid wave
for three days. and 1t had not arrived. IL
was especially warm-the temperature
was in fact -. This fact proved an apt
topic for the egg men. and they discussed
it pro and con, mostly con, for a long
time. " 9yWUW
Finally "Blackiep offered to wager
"Bill'' Donovan dinner at the Flor
ence that the temperature next morning
would be at least 80 degrees lower or
AZ and less. Donovan aereed, and It was
decided that the thermometer OUTSIDE the
office window would decide the bet. The
scene changes to the next morning.
Next Morning
Promptly at 8 o'clock in the morning
'Rls ckie'' and Bill raced down to the
office In their runabouts. "Blackie' was
sure he had won as the thermometer at
his home showed about 32-the cold wave

did not seem to mind and asserted that
he had won. Anyway. the office ther-

CHAMBER HAS A
BUSY WEEK AHEAD
Important Meetings Planned
and Scheduled
DIRECTORS TO MEET
Pot Latch Committee Will Meet
Wednesday-Membership Cam
paign Probable Before Pres
ident Sibley> Retires

This week promises to be busy one
with the various committees of the CHAM
Der of Commerce as quite few meet
ings are scheduled already and more are
on tap. Nearly every committee Of the
chamber is scheduled for conferences in
the near future in preparation Of the an
nual reports that will be made in FEB
ruary
No important committee meetings are
booked for today, but tomorrow after
noon at $3.50 o'clock the board of dipctors
will hold its regular monthly meeting in
the directors room. This meeting will
be important in that 1t will review the
growth of the chamber of 1912 and con-
slider preparations for 1918 as well as the
change of administration which will soon
take place.
Pot Latch Meeting
The general "Pot-Iatch' COMMITTEES
will meet Wednesday afternoon i'll the
directors room at $3.50 o'clock at the call
of Chairman Oscar C. Turner, originator
of the idea to have a celebration in COM
memoration of the prosperity of Birning-
ham. Chairman Turner announces that
at the meeting Wednesday the plans for
the proposed "Pot-Latch" celebration
will be thoroughly gone over and SUBJ
committees appointed to handle various
phases of the work. Mr.. Turner has pre-
pared for the review of the general Pot
Latch committee at Wednesdays meet
ing an elaborate prospectus of the cele-
bration and will ask the committee TO
concur in it's recommendations.
The live wires" or the membership
committee, are due to hear the siren
call OF "get busy this week and will
very likely meet Thursday afternoon
in the directors room to consider plans
for another membership campaign. Ac-
cording to President Sibley,. the mem
bership of the chamber is at the pres
ent time about 5000, and he wishes 1t
to be about $500 before he leaves of
flee. AS Mr.. Sibley is claimed to be
the most successful president the
Chamber of Commerce has ever had it
is likely that his efforts toward in
creasing the membership before he
leaves office will be successful.

He was big money winner and had
fifteen starts, winning six first, five

all of which represented large purses
and stakes, among the other fast
ones sired by Walter Direct, that took
records in 1912. were Jessie Direct
2:07A, 2:12L, and Merry Direct
2:15. Direct Hal, p., 2:04A, the sire
of Walter Direct, was also strong

RACE TRACK GAMBLING.

AS a natural consequence of the
change in control of the general as
sembly bill has been introduced to
restore race track gambling in Ten
of the domination of the Legislature
by the regulars" That faction is
naturally opposed to laws passed for
the suppression of practices like in
temperance and gambling and the
race track commission will doubtless
be followed by other bills to destroy
the existing temperance laws. If this
bill, vicious and immoral as i. is,
should pass, the responsibility for it's
enactment Will rest with those who
caused breach of faith" that trans
ferred the control of the legislature
to the regulars
There is no demand in Tennessee,
at least among the better element,
for a restoration of race track gam
bling. There is no real demand
among the rank and file of the reg
ulars' for this character of legisla-
tion. However much they may de-
mand the repeal of the prohibition
laws, the regulars in Tennessee are
not committed to legalized gambling.
1t is doubtless true that If. the ma
jority in the legislature enact race
gambling bill the regulars, with that
blind allegiance to party name that
has caused them to approve all sorts
of excuses, will give the measure a
grudging sanction
1t will be especially unfortunate if
the, so-called commission Il bill is en-
acted. It would be infinitely better
to re-enact the old race gambling law
than to make the state a party to the
iniquity by providing for commits
sion to regulate and control gam
bling. IL race track gambling Il to
be regulated ard controlled why not
have commission for other forms
cf gambling? There is no demand
Tor necessity for any measure that
permits or legslizes gambling in any
form and this BILL regardless OF what
may be the fate of the temperance
laws, should be promptly killed.

MOST UNFORTUNATE.

Regardless OF the merits OF the
controversy as to who is responsible
for present conditions in the legisla-
ture, all good citizens must agree
that the situation is most unfortu'
nate one. It is one that bodies no
good for the state. Perhaps the most
deporable feature of the situation Is
the immunity which is assured the
back tax grafters, the apparent deter
nination to cover up and smother
any real investigation of the iniqui-
Ties of that system The people OF
Tennessee, regardless of their differ
ences upon the liquor question, are
not the defenders and apologists of
grafters and crooked officials. Reve-
lations of the practical workings OF
the back tax machine are such as to
imperatively demand remedy.
We may not agree as to the result
of the election last November so far
as It involved the maintenance or the
enforcement of the prohibition laws,
but we do not believe that there Is
any room for serious doubt as to the
meaning of that verdict upon the
back tax system. Not only was .ey-
cry independent and every reDubli-
can elected to the legislature in OPP
position to the continuance of the
system, but number of So
called regulars, including the
Shelby delegation, were elected
upon the same idea. UnQuestiona-
bly, therefore the people have right
to expect from this legislature not
only a genuine and thorough inves-
tigation Of the back tax machine for
Che past four years, but they were
warranted in believing that they had
elected legislature that would en-
act laws that would prevent repeti-
ton of similar scandals in the flu
tse.
!. The democratic party has been re-
pudiated in other states when 1t link
ed itself WITH corrupt and grating
institutions and machines. 1t will
not deserve ard will probably not re-
eeive a different fate in this state If
II makes the tremendous error of pos
ing as shield for grafters and the
sponsor for system that has been
q scandal and reproach tofhe state.
We admit, however, that the situa-
ton is not an encouraging one. The
action of the ijority in the senate
in refusing to hear exposures of the
machine Is not at all reassuring.
