w then will the "dove of peace lose few
of his tail feathers.
THE recent election in Nashville seems to in
dicate that her people are rather partial to
men of the CRATER type.
EVERY time WOODROW writes note to Ger

having Americans on board.
CHARGED with trying to intimidate the Ju-
~ dietary, Mayor CRUMP has troubles that
will not be easily surmounted.
TN REFUSING that New Jersey Endorsement,
the President should not forget that such
things may be scarce, next year.
IF THE Hon. Mr. BARNES is against the amend
ments recently promulgated by the State
constitutional convention, the people will be wise
to ratify them all.
DOLK COUNTY'S importance Ito some) in
l. the coming Senatorial primary may suggest
to LUKE the advisability Of opening branch
headquarters here.
INDICATIONS are that Governor RYE has got
to come clean with the people or acknowl-
edge that he obtained his office under false pre-
lenses. Which will he do!
WITH the farmer getting 6.2% less for his
w products and the consumer paying that
much more than they did year ago, it begins
to look like somebody lied in 1912.
IF THAT "dear old rascal" Mars Henry, was
really responsible for sending Senator W.
O. BRADLEY to the United States Senate, ne is
entitled to the thanks of the people of Kentucky
WHEN the patrons of National banks come
w to realize that they are expected to pay
that 100000 spent for useless salaries, velvet
carpets, mahogany furniture, ETC., it may make
a difference.
THE suggestion that Governor RYE do some
L thing to help the prosecution OF the custer

IF THE Secretary of the Treasury has the right
to advance money for the cotton planters,
why can he not favor the railroads?
WOODROW laid off seven more iremen on
w the L. and NJ, last week, several OF them
coming to Ducktown in search OF work.
ISN'T it peculiar that the Governor, with $zO-'
L OO6 fund for law enforcement, allows ten
citizens to bear the burden in Shelby County!
COMMISSION form of government, according
~ to reports from Nashville, Chattanooga and
Memphis, is not success in Democratic hands.
THE polling of the vote in Coffee County IS
giving cold comfort to those Democrats
who are making predictions on that Senatorial
race.
WHY are the cotton planters to receive money
w at say 80 when the Federal Reserve
Banks are charging their customers all the traflc
will bear.
WERE the railroads as prosperous as in the
w days of Republican rule, the demand OF
employees for more money would not so often
be denied.
THE footing of Democratic trumpets over the
recent "great diplomatic triumph has
dwindled down until it sounds like the wall OF
lost SOUL
THE modesty of the President in refusing in
dorsements is on a par with his nerve in
taking nomination that rightfully belonged to
CHAMP CLARK.
IF A few of the persons in Ducktown whose
tongues are working overtime will take
day off and learn what is being said about them
it might help some.
THE greatest trouble with organizing WOOD
L ROW WILSON club down at Chattanooga
seems to be conviction that they have had about
enough of that gentlemen.
ecTHE special interests that rob the consumer
L by capitalizing high tariff" Will those
who were burned by this Democratic claptrap
get singed again, next year?
TWENTY-F years ago, it would not have
been thought possible to gathe together IN
one body men whose ignorance on the subject
of railroads is as patent as that shown by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
THE President, in acknowledging an invitation
to address a teachers convention at In
dianapols, said he had forgotten how to make
an educational speech. Does he imagine that
any kind of speech he might make would con-
vince the people that he knew what he was
talking about?

PROHIBITION IN KANSAS
BY JOHN R. CONNOLLY.

1 am glad to speak today for the
splendid Commonwealth of prohibi-
ton Kansas. A half million boys and
girls tread her highways who never
saw a place where liquor was legally
sold and a hundred thousand of them
never saw a drunken man nor do they
know the taste of liquor.
The older generations are not en-
tirely free from the baneful effects of
liquor habit; but from the loins of
that mighty people there is coming
into maturity a new generation free
from the tyranny of its hurtful reign.
May it please God that with the COM
ing of another generation we may not
only appreciate the benign influence
of Statewide prohibition, but.may we
hope that glad day will find no place
where a licensed grogshop may find
lodgment under the protecting folds
of the national flag. For this we dare
to hope, for this we dare to pray,
for this we dare to vote.

tramp seized him and dragged him to
the floor. One hand on the mans
throat and his knees on his chest, the
tramp tore off the breathing mask and

headgear, and unlocked the door into

She advanced toward a window OF

Del Mar waited only until the last

off as fast as his horse would carry
him straight toward the deserted hotel
