better and more efficient work.
believe in all organizations
which have for their motive the
/ the common good and welfare of
humanity but am fully con-
WINGED that no organization out
side of the church has a greater
field for good than the Parent
Teachers Association of our pub.
lie schools. In this association
there is a strength that people
do not realize. A sentiment for
more efficient school work upon
the part of teachers, pupils and
officials can be moulded here.
You have right to demand the
best possible for childhood and
unless you are a factor in the
creation of such a sentiment you
are guilty of gross and inexcus-
able neglect of your chill. and
some day your child will meet
you at the bar of justice, saying
to father and mother, you have
neglected me and have shut me
out from a chance with my fell
lows" Parents are often heard
to say to children "you will never
pay for your rearing. Children
owe their parents nothing for
their rearing because they are
here not of their own free will
hence they have a right to de-
mand of father and mother a
chance to be equal to other child
rem in life's battles.
Parents, are you going to join
in the cause of childhood? If so,
we would be so glad to have you
present next Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. We appreciate the
hearty cooperation and help in
the past year and know you are
going to rally to us and help bear
the banner of childhood on to
victory. Yours truly,

Persons With Tubercular Tendencies

Persons whose lungs are weak and
who consequently have tendency to
easily contrast serious colds, and who
to guard against their effects have been
forced to dose themselves with cod liver
oil in one form or another, will be glad
to know of a preparation containing
the beneficial qualities of cod liver oil
with none of the unpleasant oil itself.
Medical authoratives agree that the
medical value of cod liver oil lies not so
much in the oil itself as in various drug
principals known as alternatives, contain
ed in the oil.
Rexall Wine of Cod Liver Extract
possesses the beneficial properties found
in cod liver oil and none of the nauseat-
ing oil. 1t is pleasing to take. and fur
nishes the stimulant needed to rebuild
the weakened constitution.
Can be obtained only at our store
The Rexall Store. Kinks Drug Stores.

Deserves Reward.

The democrats of Henry coun-
ty and the Partisan also, would
like very much to see E. Baxter
Sweeney rewarded by the ad-
ministration for the splendid
work he did for the party in the
campaign of last fall.
1t is said by those who were
present that che never let-up"
tactics which he used in the con-
vention which nominated Henry
county's favorite for governor,
won the battle there, and it is
certain that his untiring energy
and zeal in the performance of
his labors as secretary of this
county's campaign committee,
are largely responsible for the
healthy majority we rolled up
for Tom Rye.
It is a we'll known fact that
the democracy of Henry was as
badly split up as that of almost
any county in the state and it is
also true that the remnant of in
depents who refused to return
to the fold," helped the republi-
cans to put up a stiff fight.
It took work to beat this COM
bination and Baxter gave his
whole heart, head ana time to
the fight with the result that we
beat 'em and beat 'em good.
In addition to the fact that he
merits recognition at the hands
of the party for the work he has
done in it's interest, he is young
man of clean morals, bright
mind and a hearty good will to-
ward his fellow travellers along
the pathway of life so that there
could be no criticism should he
be appointed to a good position.
His father before him was one
of the builders of our bigger and
better Paris and his friends as
well as Baxter's would most as
suredly appreciate action of this
sort.
The Partisan has many friends
who have applied for Office but
it has not hitherto espoused the
cause of any and it has not felt
or shown any personal feeling at
any appointments that have
been made.
Where it felt that mistakes
had been made, it criticised a
little as is not only the privilege
but the duty of a newspaper.
1t is democratic to the core and
in time of political battle, will
ever be found with its fighting
clothes on doing it's best to help
win for the party and her nomi-
nees.
It does this without expecting
or receiving favor and never pre-
sumes to dictate to those who
are in power.
In calling attention to the
above case, we do so because we
feel that party service. deserves
party reward and we sincerely
trust that this matter may not
be over looked.
Let those who remember the
man who kept that picture of
Tom Rye before the convention
until it had to nominate him in |
self defense. get busy for Bax-

Beware of the Hammers.

Let those who have helped pay
for the oiling of the streets of
Paris cast the first stone.
Seems to US they are getting
along pretty we'll with it, at least
enough to get fellow called
down by his wife every time he
forgets to wipe his feet when he
comes in the house.
Our neighbor seems to be ham,
mering thesB. NJ. C. a little along
this and other lines which we
may remark is a good way to
help give it a black eye.
Being secretary of a B. M. c.,
in a small town is about the most
thankless job in the world any,
way. Everybody knows just
what he ought to do and nobody
is willing to help him do it.
The way to make the club sue
coed is to boost it every chance
you get.
If the people want action on
the part of the B. M. G., let them
furnish some of the steam.
Why shouldn't there be a
highway from Paducah to Mem
phis, and why shouldn't it come
through Paris?
If such''a highway is ever built,
it will be dead sure to come
through Paris and when it does,
it will hit the best town in its
route.
This isn't the first time the P.
|. has raised up about a road
coming from Paducah to Paris.
Reference to it's files will show
that it was antagonistic to the
P. 7. & A. R. R., when it was
being promoted, so much SO that
it being the only paper in Paris
at the time, gentlemen some OF
whom are alive today, had to
drive through to Murray, KY, to
have circulars printed and dis
tributed in the county the night
before the railroad election in
order to counteract the effect OF
it's articles.
They counteracted it too, and
that's the reason Paris has two
railroads today instead of one.
Anybody kicking about the N.
c. & st. L., which used to be
the aforesaid P. T. & A., run.
ming through Paris?
When you knock next time.
be careful and don't let the ham,
mer fly off the handle.
Let Louis Spencer do it his
way and forbid him not for of
such is the kingdom of boosters.
With all the belly aching that
has been going on among the
drones in the hive it's a mortal
wonder he hasn't packed his
doll rags and hit the cinders long
before this.
Take it from US, don't never
make no medicine with man
who has his hair painted red, he
is just like a swapping turtle,
when he catches hold, he don't
never turn loose til it thunders.
In conclusion, beware of the
hammer.

JACK ROSE ON STAND
IN SULLIVAN'S BEHALF
Star Witness at Becker Trial Tells
of American Minister'S Good
Character.

NEW YORK. January 23.-"Bald
star witness i'll the trial of Police
of Herman Rosenthal. appeared yester-
day in the role of character witness
for James NJ. sullivan, American min
lister to the Dominican Republic, whose
fitness TO hold Office is under investi-
cation by Senator-elect Phelan in be-
half of the State Department.
Rose. who said he was now lecturing
on the duty of young man to live
an upright life" gave Sullivan credit
for inducing him to confess to the dis
trict attorney all he knew about the
Rosenthal murder and to become the
states witness. Sullivan was at that
time his attorney.
He declared sullivan had been be-
sieged with threats and promises" be-
cause of his activity in obtaining the
confession, and suggested that the
present attack" upon the minister
might be an aftermath of this refusal
to be swerved from his duty Sullivan
acted for him without pay, he said.
Rose was followed on the stand by
Frank j. K. Mitchell, president of the
BaHco National of Santo Domingo,
which has been accused of furtherinss
SullivanS appointment in connection
contracts on the island and securing
for itself the deposit Of customs re-
ceiptS.
Mitchell admitted that he had asked
sullivan to help iii getting his bank
appointed depository OF the customs
receipts. This he did not consider ask
ing favor.
I'VE We're an American bank and the
only bank III the country established
under the banking laws"
To practically all other charges
against the activities of the institution
