They also appreciate the right

perhaps any other publication

COMMERCIAL BANK Of
PARIS RANKS HIGH UP

.glte first report, Of the State
Superintendent of Banks, j. L.
Hutton, ha S been given out by
the State Banking Department
and contains some interesting
figures.
There are 401 State banks in
Tennessee with average capital
of $50, 884.1f, and total capital of
over twenty million dollars. Out
of this number there are only 27
banks With surplus equal to their
capital Stock. One of these is
the Commercial Bank of Paris,
with capital of $100,000.00 and
surplus Of $100, 100000.
No doubt these reports from
the State Banking Department
will be examined closely by the
public and cause the, weaker
banks over the State to strength
en- their resources.

MEXICAN SITUATION II
GRAVE, SAYS PRESIDENT

At this hour war with Mexico
seems almost unavoidable. This
week President Wilson for the
first time has departed from his
policy of watchful waiting. Arm
ed Intervention now depends on
Great Britain's demands. The
president revealed to those who
discussed Mexican affairs with
him this week that he fully re-
allied the gravity of the situa-
ton from the killing of William
S, Benton, a British subject, the
murder of Gustav. Bauch and
Clement Vergara. American citi-
zens, and Gen. Carranza's denial
of the right of the United States
to look after the interests of the
foreigners generally in Mexico.
The president speaks deplor-
in gly of armed intervention, but
at the same time pointedly re-
ferred to the size and power of a
country like the United States as
sufficient warrant for a calm and
patient course while compliance
with the Americana demands
was being sought. The president

his determination not to be STAN
peded into action by radical
speeches in Congress, but with a
hint that when the necessity
arose the American government
could be expected to move de-
cisively and effectively

MEMPHIS DEALERS GIVE
UP LIQUOR LICENSES

Practically every Federal liq-
uor license in the city of Mem
phis was last Monday surrender
ed to Attorney General Estes in
compliance with his demands for
an immediate acknowledgment
of the nuisance" laws effec-
tiveness, which on Sunday made
mandatory the abolition of sa-
looms.
Liquors exodus as far as its
retail dispensations were con-
cerned, was, according to press
reports, characterized by unusu-
al activities. Hundreds of peo-
pie crowded the down town
streets until an early hour Sun
day morning, bidding farewell!
to the open saloon. Sales for
Saturday in a majority of the
Memphis saloons broke all rec
ords and when they closed some
time after midnight hundreds of
people carried away baskets
full of bottled goods bought at
their own price.
While retail dealers have sig-
nified an intention to comply
with the nuisance" law, the
wholesalers are taking action
preparatory to availing them
selves of the recent decision by
the state Supreme Court, hold
ng invalid the jug" act, inso-
far as it restricted liquor ship
ments into the state.
The Tennessee, Chickasaw and
Elks clubs have dispensed with
their bars and have installed the
locker system for members.
Coincident with the effective
ness of the nuisance act appear
ed a near BEER" product of a
Memphis brewing company, and
known as "brewette. f" 1t con-
tains, according to the manufac-
turers, less than one-half of one
per cent. alcohol and is there
fore, within the provisions of
the liquor laws. Many saloons
will not close, but the proprie-
tors claim they will handle this
"beerette" exclusively.
1t is quite generally believed,
however. that an extra dry indi-
vidual, armed with the counter
sign, can get a helpin' of most
anything he winks for.
The probabilities are that the
law will not be enforced. Mayor
Crump is decidedly weakened
on the subject. In a recent in
terview he says:
"The prohibition law has been
a failure since it's inception on
July 1909, not only in Memphis,
but in Knoxville, Chattanooga
and Nashville. The people of
Memphis had twice expressed
their preference on the subject
at the polls. and both times the
vote was decidedly against it."
