IMPORTANT NEWS
FROM OUTSIDE

Here is positive proof of good
times and the success possible for
an article of honest value, when
backed by good advertising in the
right newspapers.
Ii there has ever been any oues-
in the minds of our readers regard-
ing The productiveness, of The
Chronicle rs a business building
medium, that question is settled
definitely now.
We have just received a big con-
tract for advertising space from the
Calumet Baking Powder Co., man
ufacturers of the famous Calumet
Ba king Powder.
Year after year at this season,
they make their contracts with the
leading publications. They adver-
tise in thousands and thousands of
newspapers throughout the country
and are in a position to know the
value OF newspaper publicity.
The absolute purity, the unques-
toned wholesomeness and wonder
full economy of Calumet Baking
Powder, all backed by honest all
vertising in the right mediums
have succeeded in building for
them tremendous business and
enviable reputation. This year
Calumet advertising will be very
much different than any of the pre-
vious years. One of the country's
best character artists has created
for Calumet a cute little character
which will amuse the youngsters
and tell the housewives in his own
individual way, how to secure the
best results in baking.

Let it be understood that murder
is sure to be followed by punish
ment in this country and murders
will be rare as they are now com
mon. Another reform would help.
There should be a law to restrict
the sale of pistols. Nor is that all
The manufacture of a pistol with
barrel less than eighteen inches
long should be forbidden. AS [
write this there are million men
in the United States going about
with loaded pistols on their per-
sons. Well, you take an egoist,
who is a fool, and full of vanity,
put pistol in his pocket and make
him drunk, and there is a mighty
good chance that he will murder
somebody or be killed before night
fall that day. Tens of millions of
good people go up and down the
earth cussing the barkeep who
makes that fellow drunk and gives
him the inspiration to do murder,
yet have not word to say of the
pistol maker who supplies him with
the instrument to do his bloody
deed.
If you want an arm to protect
yourself, a shotgun is better than
a pistol, yet, as | write this there
are millions of households in this
country that have pistol as a part
of the furniture, and daily we read
of the work of the "unloaded" pis-
tol. A pistol that you can conceal
on your person was make for mur-
der and its manufacture should be
forbidden.
[ believe some of the States have
laws making pistol-toting felony;
bat the law is a dead-letter and it
is the dead-letter law that makes
your mob. All agree that law
without liberty is better than lib
erty without law. The happy me-
dium is liberty regulated by law.
We have the liberty, plenty of it;
what we lack is law. Give us that
and mobs will 60 ont of business.

RAILROAD BUYS
SHORT-HORNS
UNSURPASSED FOR BEEF, ETC

Infurtherance of it work looking
toward the/introduction of pure
bred cattle on the farms along il
road, the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway has pur-
chased herd of Short Horn cattle
from Major John Cowan of Max
Meadows, Va, through Industrial
Agent II. NJ Ewing. The cattle
secured are the pick of the herd Of
this famous breeder and consists Of
eighteen cows and heifers and four
bulls.
1t is the plan of the road to in
troduce the Short Horn breed in
this territory through the "com-
munity bull' plan by selling at q
reasonable sale price young bull
to a community of farmers, or loan
ing such animal to a reasonable
community in the event the farmers
do not care to purchase outright.
The members of this herd of
Short Horns are descended from
stock imported from England, and
as Major Cowan has been breeder
for fifty years, the animals are said
to be the result of careful selection
and breeding, being recognized as
the best "dual-purpose' breed in
the country-that is, the best breed
for beef and milking purposes.
The purpose of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail-
way in securing this herd is not to
make any money cut Of the venture,
but to use the herd as an encour-
agement to the farmers, and show
them what this type of animal is
capable of producing, and in what
way the introduction of the Short
Horn on their farms will be of
benefit.
The average farmer wants cow
that will give sufficient milk Cor his
needs, and in event there is a buN
calf. he wants one that will make
good baby beef or beef steer. Both
these qualities are found in the
Short Horn, and for that reason it
is believed that the efforts of the
industrial department of the road
will be appreciated by the farmers
over the territory,
The herd is at present located on
the farm of Mr.. Ewing in Giles
County, but will latter be moved to
farm Of the road, where farmers
will be shown the advantages of
the Short Horn. In this connec-
tlon the industrial department of
the road is seeking to bring the
breeders and purchasers of the
State in closer touch, and has been
enabled to introduce considerable
Tennessee-bred stock on Tennes-
see farms.

THE FAILURES
OF THE LAW


tndI 0eOTSld moo ls very nOfrl-
bleRnd very tlsgraceful affair, and
all decent folk regret it and con-
denim it; but it only shows that
Georgia has her full share of hu-
mon nature. However guilty he
might have been, the victim now
has the sympathy of all the world,
and his executioners are denounced
from one end of the country to the
other.
The mob spirit is rife in every
State of our Union. Constantly
you read in the papers of the au-
thorities saving malefactors from
the clutch of mobs even in New
England, where human nature is
supposed to be fashioned of better
clay than elsewhere, especially in
the South. Right now a brutal
murderer in Illinois is incarcerated
far from his bailiwick to escape
mob vengeance. Innumerablelik like
cases can be cited in the staid old
commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
There is a reason for this mob
spirit, and it is not far to seek.
There are no mobs in England.
Why? Because 81 per cent of the
murderers in that country expiate
their crimes on the gallows. In
our glorious land of the free it, is
exactly the reverse-we execute
but 3 per cent of our murderers
who are tried in courts Of Justice
for their crimes. That is what
makes your mob spirit, and that is
all that make it. If the courts and
yuries and peace officers of the
United States would sternly per-
form their duties, mobs in America
would be as rare as in England.
: In England the Judge of the
court picks the jury to try a man
charged with murder. In our
country the counsel for the defense
selects the jury. In England there
is a speedy trial. In our country
there are continuances until the
witnesses are dead or dispersed or
their memories are dimmed, as to
their knowledge of the crime. I'll
bet the average murder trial in this
country occurs more than a year
after the commission of the crime.
Hence, it is common saying that
IN the United States it is safer to
kill man than to steal a horse.
That is what makes your mob
spirit. The authorities are respon-
sible.
And then when you have once,
as by miracle, convicted muir
derer, and the judgment has with
stood the technicalities of half a
dozen appeals, a sickly and morbid
sentimentality possesses most OF
the community, and Heaven and
earth are invoked to save the male
factors life. Everybody cries,
"Release unto us Barabbas," and
our best men and women will not
be still until Barabbas is set scot
free. I don't have in mind the
Frank case particularly. It is the
rule in every commonwealth in our
glorious Union, and one would con-
clude that with us liberty embraces
the right to commit murder with
impunity.
I The mob is the child of the
courts and owes its existence to the
failure Of the courts to execute the
law. It is true that Frank was
convicted and sentenced, but the
whole coYntry was aroused to clam
or against that conviction and his
sentence was commuted. l am not
dwelling on the Frank case, but

- -Hqu beads in Washington af-
fairs. He may not be the pow
e. pehind the presidential chair,
but he is the power alongside
of it.
He is a figure without par
allel in our political history.
Other presidents have had
their intimate advisers. But
Col. House is unlike any of
them.
Col. House asks nothing for
himself. He has more money
than man of his simple tastes
could ever spend. He hates the
!limelight with an intensity that
bars him from public office. He
is neither philanthropic nor re-
former. He represents no inter-
ests at Washington, either politi-
cal or financial.
Col House is a CONNOISSEUR
OF POLITICS. He is = new kind
of a collector who gathers men
and measures instead of Persian
rugs, postage stamps or Pekinese
dogs.
Legislation, national policies,
all the machinery of government
these things fascinate him.
He regards them with the same
fond eye that the collector casts
upon his treasures.
Col. House after his first mis-
sion abroad gave the president
just what he wanted-a clear
cut view of the tangled situation
In war-swept Europe. He came
back with no dreams or enthusi-
asms on the subject of peace. Now
he is going back again to train
the white light of his intelligence
on the new situations that have
arisen since.
The position in which he
has been placed by his latest
commission from the presi-
dent Is even more amazing
than the place he had filled
before. When he embarked
on his first mission he denied
the president had asked his
services. But now he frank
ly admits that he is an unOf-
fetal envoy and that he will
visit the American represen-
tatives i'm the capitals of the
warning nations. No other
man i'm our political history
has ever occupied just this
place. 1t makes Col. House
