Fields Ministries.

AlG. Field paid another visit to Union
City last Friday night. The audience
was about the same 10 size as last win
ter when the veteran minstrel came to
Union City with his big show. The
Field idea is good talent and plenty OF
it. That prevails all through the show.
There is apparently noIimit to the sing
ing, dancing aud comedy numbers. The
orchestra is one Of the notable features;
and the band contains no empty seats.
II is good one. and when they rem
dered 10 the afternoon the medley Of
Southern airs, there was an outburst OF
enthusiasm. This arrangement carried
some Of the oldest melodies known to
the generations living and the harmony
spirit was beautiful.
There is little use specializing the sing
srs and comedians. The show was a
good one, the only criticism being that
there seemed to be hurry in the per-
Torrance, perhaps to get ready for a
midnight tram. Union City people APP
preciate a good show, and everywhere
over the house people we're convulsed
with the comedy and charmed with the
music.
The mechanical effects we're the best
ever seen on the Union City stage. The
aurora borealis was a piece de resistaace
and the scene at the Panama Pacific
Exposition was marvel of stageeraft
that we seldom ever see at one-night
stand.

Hon. FINS ]. Garrett.

Representative Finis ]. Garrett, oil
Tennessee, who is the only candidate for
leader now mentioned who is not a
member OF the committee on Ways and
Means, is also the youngest member OF
the group, being only thirty-nine years
Of age He has. however, already had
a congressional career covering period
OF ten years, during which time he has
shown himself TO be safe and sane
member of Congress. Mr.. Garrett is
essentially analytical in thought and
speech. He makes no pretense at ora
tory in speaking, but goes straight to the
heart Of the issue, and always has a
good reason for what he does. For in
stance, when bill to incorporate the
Rockefeller Foundation was pending in
Congress, and at time when many Of
his colleagues were 1emagoguing about
tainted money" etc., Mr.. Garrett
arose 10 his seat and said:
The reason why | shall vote against
this bill is because do not believe that
special acts ofincorporation should pass.
do not think this act creates the
Foundation as federal
corporation. Upon the contrary, III
makes il corporation OF the District of
II it did become federal
corporation, should agree with the
of the gentleman from Georgia
1 Mr.. Bartlett that the Congress would
have no power to create it, because ]
think it is true that the Congress cau-
not create federal corporation, except
where that corporation is to be an agent
u the government and to perform some
function.

West Tennessee and much OF the
South has been experiencing zeal winter
weather this week. The fall was a
beautiful one, and, with the exception
OF short cold spell few weeks ago,
the weather has been ideal for the season
OF the year. Sunday morning, however,
the ground was covered with snow,
which began Saturday evening and fell
all night to depth Of six inches. The
temperature was not low, but on Mon
day morning the weather bureau re-
ported twelve degrees above zero at the
station in Union City and on Tuesday
morning five degrees below zero. Many
of the citizens had trouble with their
plumbing. Several stove boilers were
reported bursted. Among these were
G. s. Talley. Luther Cherry and John
D. Killion. The snow was still with us
yesterday and the prospects OF white
Christmas were very good.

which be himself approached the in
vestigation. Mr. Garrett said
Il want it understood that ! do moi
take any stock in this universal cry that
has gone up in this House that all OF u:
are pure and without fault. For man
TO stand upon this floor and contend that
gives lie to the history Of practically
every legislative body that ever assem-
bled on earth. do not know whether
these men referred to by MsIhaIl are
guilty or not. There are only three in
such cases who do not know about such
things, and they are the man himself,
the fellow that corrupted him, and God
Almighty"
Mr.. Garrett is always self contained
and impartial. He tries to be just in
all he has to say. He is member Of
the Democratic party, because he be-
lieyes in its tenets, just as be has a good
reason for everything else he does. He
takes more part in the general debate OF
the House than any OF bis rivals for the
leadership, and measured by his speeches
on different Legislative subjects, is more
versatile legislator. Furthermore, he
has the faculty Of gaining and keeping
the confidence OF his colleagues. There
is nothing spectacular about anything be
says or does. His habit of clear think
ing resembles Mr.. Underwood's to a
striking degree.
Before the adjournment Of the COM
ing session OF Congress, it is probable
that the Democrats OF the House will
decide which OF the four men above
mentioned shall lead the majority in
the House in the next Congress, or
whether dark horse shall be named as
a compromise. There is no means at
this time OF measuring the strength OF
each. Among the old line Democrats
in the House, there is, of course, dis
position to adhere to the present rule OF
seniority in making promotions. On
the other hand, there is necessity for
a trimming of sails to meet the issues Of
the 1916 campaign. Practically all of
the Democratic members OF the next
Congress are members OF the present
House, SO that it will be possible to get
a consensus Of opinion before March 4,

Our Road Law.

One very important amendment to
the road law would be to strike out six
teen commissioners and make instead
a commission of three members on
nominal salary and extra pay by the
day for time. Thereby here would be
saving of 81 900 if they get 5000. Thsir
duties would be the supervision. OF ell
roads and bridges; this alone would
save time, money and trouble. This
would relieve the County Court OF all
roads, bridges and levees. The princi-
pal duty OF the commission would be
to widen and open new roads. have
bridges built, and with the aid Of three
district supervisors, on nominal salary
except for extra work limited to a max
imum number OF days or dollars for
compensation, I believe we could get
these forty-eight men to handle their
own districts without any money. The
magistrates can act on this district super
