REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,
1914

a.
We declare ourselves the uncom-
promising foe Of the liquor traffic.
the clock has struck the hour for
the absolute destruction Of this awful
scourge of mankind.
We favor the retention on the
statute books of the four-mile law,
now written there as the result Of a
thirty-years' struggle between the
people of Tennessee and the whisky
interest.
I'VE deplore the fact that this
benefcient law was so long nullifed
by the unfaithful officials of several
large cities and counties of the state.
I'VE are proud that Governor
Hooper and the Independent Demo-
cratic and Republican members of
the Legislature made SUCH a heroic
and unyielding fight for the law
enforcement Legislation in 1918.
"We have witnessed with pleasure
the good work SO far accomplished
by the nuisance law in Memphis.
I'VE approve of Governor Hooper's
action in the employment Of counsel
to assist in the enforcement If the
four-mile law, and of his offering
rewards for the conviction of open
and fragrant nullifers Of the law.
I'VE regret that the anti-shipment
law, designed to make the Webb law
effective, was found by the Supreme
Court to be defective.
I'VE urge the adoption of such
further Legislation by the next Cen
eral Assembly as may be necessary
to effectuate the enforcement Of the
four-mile law 10 city and country.
Among the measures we now have in
mind we suggest the following:
Il. A new law to meet the re-
|quirements Of the Federal Webb act.
g. A law to empower the Gov
ernor of the state to remove or sus-
pend from office unfaithful city
officials for good cause.
"3. A law to more definitely pre-
scribe the right and the procedure Of
the courts for the removal of county
officials for misfeasance, non-feasance
or malfeasance in Office.
NATIONWIDE PROHIBITION.
Eve hereby declare ourselves in
favor of the adoption of an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution for
ever prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating beverages. We
obligate ourselves to the support of
this amendment when it is submitted
to the Legislature of our state, and
we call upon the people to instruct
their candidates for the General AS
sembIy in favor of the amendments

PROLOGUE.

Molly was the fairest and naer-

est! That foo, too solid flesh
mas fhe cause of ali the trouble.
Molly loved Alfred Bennett in
her girlhood days. Now he was
coming home a distinguished
diplomat and wanted to see Mol
ly in The same blue muslin dress
(waist measure twenty inches)
which she had worn at their ten
der parting years before. So
Molly had to grow slim as a
string bean in just three months.
And, as she had at least four
suitors, the melting process-a
fairly complicated business
was often interrupted.
The gay, irresistible Molly, all
sweetness and spice ana every
thing nice, is a most fetching
heroine, and the longer one knows
her the more ones admiration
grows. She has wit a-plenty and
a very keen sense of humor.
Furthermore, no one can tell
just what she will do next. To
rhapsodize, she is-but wait, lei
the witching Molly tell her own
story herself.

Chloride of Sodium.

In connection with the name salt q
curious fact is to be noted Salt was
formerly regarded as n compound re-
sulting from the union of hydrochloric
Tor. as 1t used to be called. muriaticl
acid and soda. and hence the generic
term Of salt was applied to all sub
stances produced by the combination
OF a base with an acid Sir Hnmphry
Davy. however. showed that during
their action on each other both the
acid and the alkali underwent deeom-
position and that, while water IL form
ed by the union of the oxygen OF the
alkali aud the hydrogen of the acid.
the sodium Of the former combines
with the chlorine OF the hitter to form
chloride Of sodium. and this term is
the scientific designation Of salt. which.
paradoxical as 1t may seem. Is not a
salt. At one time nearly the whole OF
the salt used as food and for industrial
purposes was obtained from the sea.
and In many countries where the cli-
mate Is dry and warm and which have
convenient seaboard a great quantity
Of salt Is still Obtained.

Carved by Nature.

A curious effect of the wear and
tear to which the earth's crust is con-
tinuaily being subjected Is shown
in the Devils slide In Utah and other
peculiar formations all over the west
There exist on the South river. In the
Wasatch mountains "a part OF the
Rockies,. singularly capped pinnacles
or slender pillars rising from 40 to 400
feet high and most Of them crowned
or capped by huge stones. These pill
lars are not the work Of man. but are
memorial monuments OF huge hills
from which they are cut out by the
action of the air and water and the
lone remains of many square miles OF
solid rocks which have been washed
away to a depth Of some 400 feet.
The greater hardness Of the snrface
has caused it to resist corrosion more
than the underlying rock. thus leaving
huge caps Of stone perched high in the
air on points Of their columns. Here
and there can be found double col
umn capped by a single stone, thus
forming a natural bridge both unique
and picturesque
