However, in spite of the success Of
papers that do print the local news,
we find the majority of the country
papers OF Tennessee filed with re-
print matter, with clippings and with
general news that is sometimes a
week old. Very few Of the country
papers take any pride in displaying
their local happenings. Items that
should make half column, we'll set
off with attractive headlines, are
often dismissed with personal"
One notable exception to this gener-

A NEW CONSTITUTION.

Gov. Rye's proclamation calling an
election for August of next year on
the question of holding a constitution
al convention will or at least should
focus attention on that issue. That
Tennessee needs constitution, that
many of the provisions Of the organic
law are out of date and not respon.
sive to the needs of this day, are
propositions that will hardly be de-
MED. However, the matter. of making
an organic law for people is a very
serious business. The best and alb
lest men OF the state should compose
constitutional convention. They
should hold no allegiance save to all
the people of the state, they should
have no ambition save that which
comes from the laudable desire to
serve their state in their generation
and in the years that are to come
after them. Men should be elected
who will be loyal to principle.
Now can the people OF Tennessee
with any degree of confidence. expect
the election Of men Of this charact-
er? win the members Of the con
stitutional convention be superior n
ability, in integrity, in understanding
Of the peoples needs, to the members

AMERICAS OPPORTUNITY.

Judge Gray, of the United States
circuit court, is patriot. He is one
OF the countrys ablest jurists and
pnrest men. He has the confidence Of
both capital and labor. He knows no
sectional lines nor classes. He is
thoroughly a typical American, and
when he speaks his utterances al.
ways carry weight. Discussing the in
ternational crisis which faces this
country, Judge Gray recently said:
Never before in our eventful his
tory has the time been so opportune
or the conditions so exigent, for our
country to assert the rights that be-
long to a neutral nation, and to in
woke the principles of that body of
law, whose existence and develop
ment has been one of the GROWING
glOries of our civilization. 1t is for
us, as never before, to stand up for
and assert the vital character and
binding force of the obligations which
this law has imposed upon beligerent
nations, for the protection of neutral
rights. In doing so we are perform
ing a service to the world and human
ity, and even to the beligerent ma
tons themselves, who, when the pas
Bions of war have subsidized, will recog-
nize that their own essential rights
and interests have been preserved"
Now there Is more of patriotism,
more of real humanity, more of sound
common sense In this one paragraph
than there have been in all of the nu-
merous lengthy statements issued by
Mr.. Bryan in an effort to discredit the
policy of the national administra-
ton and create dissention among the
American people. international law
is the growth and development Of
years. It IL founded in the claims of
humanity. America has always pro-
fessed its loyal adherence to the law
Of nations. What an idle claim ours
will be if now, because we must fol-
low the pacificists to the limit, we
submit to the most fragrant violations
Of these laws. This is the greatest of
the neutral powers. n Is the only
great world power that 40 not at war.
Hence our obligation is not only to
our own people but to world civiliza-
ton. If America does not firmly and
vigorously maintain the principles Of
international law, what will civiliza-
ton do? To whom will humanity ap-
peal? Ours is two fold duty and
1t is one that we cannot avoid II we
are to maintain our self-respect, and
once we forfeit that we lose all claim
TO the respect of other nations. In
spite Of the clamor Of Bryan his
daily speeches and statements we are
constrained to believe that an over
whelming majority Of patriotic Ameri-
cans will stand with our great presi-
dent in his insistence upon the strict
observance Of neutral rights and the
preservation of the law of nations,
which Judge Gray very appropriately
describes as 'the browning glory OF
our civilization"

of the legislature? If we cannot as
suredly and with confidence answer
these questions in the affirmative 1t
is our candid judgment that the peo-
pie of this state will be slow, very
slow, to ratify the call for a constitu-
tional convention. And they would
be justified in expressing a very ser
ious doubt of their ability to obtain
the right sort Of delegates to the con-
vention.
We can conceive of no greater cal
amity to the people of Tennessee
than the election of a constitutional
convention whose personnel would be
no better or higher than that of the
legislature that only recently adjourn
ed sine die amid the loud acclaim of
the people. Yet he is not necessarily
a pessimist who thinks that his is
just what would happen. Many OF
the legislators who passed the con-
stitutional convention bill would be
candidates for delegates. They are
popular in their home districts as
shown by their election to the legis-
lature. They have powerful political
influences behind them.
No good could possibly come out of
a constitutional convention made up
of men of the calibre of the majority
in the last legislature. On the con
trary much positive harm would
come to this state. It had better
hold to that which it has rather than
fly to the ills that it knoweth not.
1t is our candid judgment that the
people OF his state will have to. see
some real evidence of an intention to
improve the character of public SER
wants before they. will consent to
have the organic law tinkered with.

WHERE WE SHOULD PROFIT.

Always the chief charm of the coun-
tryside Of England and in the blue
grass regions of Kentucky has been
the great preponderance of perma-
nent pasture, woodland and meadow
land The country that is cultivated
ever year never holds the charm that
the great strethces of pasture land
dotted with cattle and sheep and
mares with foals at their sides will al.
ways have for the lovers Of nature.
