nor KENNETH will receive enough votes to
black the board.
THE registration at Chattanooga shows that
the Young Mems Republican Club was on
the Job. Good work.
light is on in New York for the short bal
lot. 1t might be of use in Tennessee in
the coming Senatorial primary.
TT HAS been found that the proposed putting
of sugar on the free list was mistake,
That seems to be Dcmocracy's front name.
DEMOCRACY is never hard put to find Ma

in convincing the people with the next one
THAT Democratic convention in Kentucky
turned out to be regular love feast such
as that party sometimes holds in Tennessee.
WITH Joint debate between HAM and LUKE,
w the rest of the candidates can spend their
time in specializing on the ingratitude OF man.
THE difference between the way Germany re-
ceived Secretary LANsINC's last note and
the others is the difference between statesman
ship and the other kind.
THE Globe Democrat says that Congressman
KITCHEN belongs in the culinary depart
ment Does it mean the one presided over by
his satanic majesty?
DEPORT that the country is anti-Democratic
IL occasions no surprise except to those who
are drawing fat salaries and do not have TO
count the cost OF living
CINCE Secretary LANsINC's admission into the
y the Cabinet the Democratic press is not
dwelling SO much upon the great strain the
President is laboring unper.
WILSON and wisdom is suggested as a Demo-
w cratic slogan. AS wisdom is no part or
parcel of the Democratic party, why not make
it "Work for Working People?"
WITH an internal tax on -four, salt, sugar,
w coffee and tea, Democracy expects to
demonstrate to the people that thep have yet
much to learn about the high cost of living
TT is going to require lot of gall for Demo-
cratic orators to go into the unemployed
districts and ask that these good Democratic
times be continued. But some of EN- have it,
OF COURSE, HAMS record doesn't smell any
~ worse than the lmpid waters OF the classic
Wolf river. fed by the purling Bayou Gayoso,
but we believe the people will prefer man
whose record is as clear as the sparkling waters

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

THERE can be no peace in Europe II Ger
many has any idea that she will be allowed
to retain Belgium.
THE horning in of HAM may have the effect
of dehorning several other patriots who
claim to be deserving Democrats.
WHEN Secretary McADoo states that ne has
w plenty of money one wonders why there
is deficit running into millions each month.
NIEXICANS are getting together! That ls'
lVI they are getting together on American
soil and committing all sorts of depredations.
MAN with the large crop of alfalfa on his
IVl chin who kissed Mr.. BRYAN was no partlc-
ular than was the old lady who kissd the COW
that had hare lip.
TT SEEMS to have been the idea of this Admin
L istration to practice economy In some things
to the end that there may be more tunds 1or
general extravaganza.
THE Clobe-Democrat says the Colonel is not
L worried over being barred from speaking
at Plattsburg, as he can always get crowd
whever he wants to talk.
THE Chattanooga Times says there is numb
L ness about this campaign that bodies little
good for Democracy That seems to be chronic
ailment with that party, Judging by Its leaders,
both State and National.
MAN wants to know why we are hitting the
lVl Democrats SO hard While we wouldn't
tell everybody, we will inform him that their
policies, and especially their performances are
not making much of hit with US.
WHEN one reads of the fine and economical
w ly built pike roads below the mountains
one thinks what pity twas that this exPert
road builder was not discoverd while the Duck
town-C Copperhil pike was being built.
A GAIN perusing Polk County's Fsoremost
n Independent newspaper, we learn that fev
c. H. WILLIAMS is pastor of the Ducktown
Methodist Church, although he severed connec-
ton with it year ago. That is indeed news.
GAYS the Nashville Banner; The l,ooo en-
y ployees of the Lewisburg and Northern

know who is not the friend of labor" And on
several other railroads the boys are equally well

THE Knoxville Sentinel says it is difficult tor
l the country to adjust itself to the idea OF
considering ELIHU RooT as leader OF the re-
form movement Only for those whose minds

cans i'll the east need the journey O
