IN the note because they had been
dealt with 1T considerable length sep

countries thought the correspondence

Russian embassies no statement was
made concerning the note.
The only report which Ambassador
Page has made was as to the tone of

lions as to the outcome OF the con-

LONDON. Dec. 3.I-u1:03 p. MI
The British foreign office In agree
ment with the American government,
tonight issued the text of the protest
of the United States against delays to
american commerce due to search OF
British war vessels.
The public has Regarded the note as
Z diplomatic 'docum at OF probably.
greater Importance than any inciden-
tai to the war. The first comment on
1t in the newspaper Offices tonight,
however, was that the note was less
specific than had been expected II
stating the american complaints. 1t
had generally been. assumed that 1t
contained details OF various cases on
which complaints were bnsed.
The protest, however, continues to
be the foremost topic treated in the
English press. Foreign Secretary
Grey and Ambassador Page conferred
concerning IL today It Is understood
Great Britain will make reply In q
Few days. Meantime as the matter at
issue is Of such Importance Ii is en-
pected that little in the nature of off,
cial comment will be forthcoming.
One prominent official said tonight
that the government after thorough
consideration of the note still was Of
the opinion that 1t was entirely friend-'
ly. and that the re1iy would be in tho
same spirit.
In official circles no effort is being
made to discount the Importance OF
the communication which is to be
digested carefully before any attempt
Is made to formulate in detail the,
British policy. Official opinioc is that
the differences between England and
America gradually win cure them
selves, provided Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland make vigorous
efforts TO check the leakage of contra.
band into Germany. q

Is entirely satisfactory to Eng

As 70 PROHIBITTON.

When it comes to reWarding PROM
bitionists, if that is an issue, the Vot
ers should ask when the candidate
became a prohibitionist. II he was
not an advocate of the cause until the
last year or two plainly and manifest
~ he is not entitled to any reward
Ever since the democratic party IN
Tennessee adopted prohibition as a
cardinal principle it has been the set
tied and fixed policy of the state
There has been no sentiment any
where demanding any repeal or emas'
culation of the prohibition laws.
1t is gratifying now to know that
practically every one is in favor OF
prohibition, that the wisdom OF our
laws has been demonstrated and that
the people are at last agreed about a
problem that has been Vexatious
one, but assuredly one is now enti-
tied to little credit for enlisting in
the cause. Prohibition is accomplish
ed. We know in this county the mar
yelous change in sentiment on this
question. When our prohibition laws
first went into effect it was exceed
ingly difficult to convict bootleggers
and a score of men held federal IL
censes to sell liquor Men carried
their prejudices into the jury box.
We all know that this situation no
longer exists and that the political
complexion of jury has nothing
whatever to do with the verdict.
Prohibition became the fixed policy
of the state and the long, hard and up
hill fight was ended when the state
democratic convention adopted prohi-
bition as a principle of the party, the
republicans already having espoused
the cause. That marked the end of
the fight Senator Luke Lea was the
moving spirit, the champion and the
ceaseless worker, the tireless leader
under whom this triumph was achiev-
ed. Few of us believed that his task
was possible. But he never despair
ed. With faith born of the right
eousness Of his cause and determin-
alton that has characterized all Of
his acts in politics, he set himself res
olutely to the task of committing the
democratic party to temperance and
law enforcement and restoring 1t to
power in Tennessee He succeeded;
q weaker man would have failed. This
is the plain, unvarnished truth about
the final triumph Of prohibition.

THE DEPARTED LEADER.

In the death of Mrs. Selma Moore
Holman the forces of civic righteous
ness in Tennessee have suffered an al
most irreparable loss. This noble wo.
man had been for more than a third
of century one of the most active,
devoted and efficient workers in the
cause of temperance. 1t would be
hard to properly estimate the value
of her labors She devoted some of
the best years OF her life to a cause
that to her was sacred. She desired,
above all things, to benefit humanity.
She was a crusader, and a pioneer in
the work for temperance in Tennes-
see. When she commenced her actiy-
titles in the cause the liquor traffic
was strongly entrenched in Tennes
see Not only that but Woman's work
In the furtherance of public issue
was rather frowned upon But Mrs.
Holman was cast in a heroic mould;
she could not be discouraged. She
braved all opposition and finally liv-
ed to see her life's hope crowned with
victory
This woman was a strong and force
full character Size was intensely devot-
ed to her work bat she was too prac-
teal ever to be a fanatic. She took
and used human nature as it was and
not as she would have it. She was
wholly rational and altogether reas
enable, hence her work was the more
effective. She was full of Christian
charity and the love of God was in
her heart. She never abused those
who opposed her. She never made
personal war upon any one, but she
did stand ever resolutely and Loyalty
by those who battled with and for
her cause. She was in all things prac-
teal never a visionary. She had the
faith OF child in the mai triumph OF
the war on the liquor traffic; even in
the darkest hours, on the night Of the
defeat of Senator Carmack, she eX-
pressed absolute confidence in ulti-
mate victory. In legislative work she
was a power. Her sound, common
sense, her appreciation Of the frail-
ties of human nature, and her broad
charity, her love Of humanity, her ear
nest faith, all combined to make her
an effective worker She was one of
Gods noblest women Only the AL
mighty can measure the debt which
coming generations in Tennessee will
owe Selma M. Holman.

the two drivers, Frank Kittrell and

Both the machine of Mr.. England

for repairs.
