Sundays Commercial Appeal
carried a special from Humboldt
stating that Jim Senter had be-
come a devout advocate of state
wide prohibition, and the Enter
prise takes this occasion OF COM
plimenting its good friend, Chas.
Rocks, Of the Humboldt Courier
Chronicle, the city OF Humboldt,
the good county OF Gibson and the
Ninth congressional district upon
Senter's conversion to the cause of
statewide prohibition. 1t will be
remembered that in the great fight
before the legislature of 1909 the
state-wide.forc had a majority in
lighthouses favoring the enactment
OF the state wide prohibition act;
mat the only way the liquor peo-
pie could prevent the measure
becoming a law was to break a
quorum, and this was done by
Jim Senter leading twelve OF his
colleagues to Hopkinsville, Ky.
He was the leader Of the memora.
BILE thirteen senators who left the
state for the specific purpose OF
preventing statewide prohibition
from becoming a law in Tennes-

A dozen times over we compli-
ment 'em. There have been other
recent converts in Tennessee to
the cause Of statewide prohibi-
ton, too.

A Word FOR MOTHERS

Itisa grave mistake for mothers to neg
lect their aches and pains and suffer In
silence-this only leads to chronic sick
ness and often shortens life.
Hyour work is firing; if your nerves are
excitable; if you feel languid, weary or
depressed, you should know that Scott's
Emulsion overcomes just such conditions.
1t possesses in concentrated form the
very elements to invigorate the blood,
strengthen the tissues, nourish the nerves
and build strength. .
Scott's is strengthening thousands OF
mothers-and will help you. No alcohol.

Ed. Maurer, of Franklin county,
farms place of thin, barren, white
land. Last year he cleared $45 an acre.
Twenty years ago his father paid
three dollars an acre for the land. The
raising of crimson clover and red clio
yer and the application of business
principles to all farm operations
brought these results.

FINS ]. GARRETT.

to say SO, it being generally un
derstood that the Enterprise, its
editor and force will support Mr.
Garrett for the democratic nomina'
ton for congress, yet it is not out
of place to make that fact known
through the editorial columns o.
this paper.
In supporting Mr.. Garrett il
shall not be the policy of this
paper to abuse Mr.. Senter, who
has a perfect right to aspire to
CARROTS position. It is always
commendable in a man to cherish
lofty aspirations, however far
they may be from achievement,
as we think is the case in this
instance. This paper, therefore,
has no mud to sling at Mr.. Senter
because be is opposing our fel-
low townsman.
But we shall support Garrett
because we deem him the logical
man for the place. The fact that
some other person has an ambi-
ton to go to congress is not a good
nor sound reason for defeating
Garrett. In the first place, no
man should be considered for this
high office on any other grounds
than his fitness and qualifications
Especially is this true at this
critical period, when the entire
world, almost, is at war, and
shells are bursting all around
and about US, and when our
Y overnment is constantly har-
fassed by the warning nations,
when gigantic problems confront
us daily and when the congress
of the United States is working
overtime with mature, experienced
representatives occupying seats
in the national house OF repre-
sentatives. Surely, Mr.. CARROTS
several years in congress count
for something at this critical time
in our nations history. The very
fact that he is frequently called
into consultation with the presi-
dent, that he is a member OF the
house rules committee, the most
important OF all, that he has been
placed upon other important COM
mittees and the further, and,
peahaps, the most important TACT
OF all, that he does not now have
time to leave his post OF duty and
come home to look after his
political fences, holding his duties
at Washington above personal
interests, trusting to a noble and
generous constituency to take care
of whatever interests be may have
at stake-we repeat, this latter
fact alone ought to prove that he
is most valuable man in congress-,
for were he one OF the just ordinary
kind it would be an easy matter
for him to slip away from his du-
ties and come home to make a
canvass Of this district. During
the past month Mr.. Garrett has
tried to see where he could leave
his post at Washington and run
down here to- tell his friends he
appreciates their kindness in the
past, but he has been unable to
get away. However, with change
in the Mexican situation he may
he able to do so now.
Garrett has made a true, able
representative in congress, and at
times like these, when the very
foundations Of civilization and So
olaAl order are being disturbed,
Would be a poor time to change
horses. Ask yourself this ques-
ton: What would our great and
noble president do if today he had
all green, new congressman at
Washington to assist him in the
settlement Of the multiplicity of
great problems daily confronting
him?
This is no time to talk Of a

Madison county farmers found that
where they expected red clover alone
they got white clover also. They found
that they had sown impure seed. Mad
ison county is not the only county
where impure seed has been used.
Usually the impurities are worse than
innocent white clover.

ETERNAL ROAD QUESTION.

udAe duNdHc6ueuG ana progress
along other lines, just that long
will the road question loom up,
and just that long will there be
a public demand for road i'm
provement.
This demand has been in
evidence in Weakley county for
the past ten years, and the roads
today are in a worse condition for
travel than they have been at
any time in the past fifteen years.
The only exception being that
they are some wider and in many
instances hills and grades have
been reduced.
Where are all those people who
assembled here at the courthouse
about two years ago demanding
that the roads be put in the hands
OF district commissioners with
overseers to see that the people
worked the roads? Where is all
that good work that these peo-
pie were going to do? WHEN
are they going to do it?
There are some communities
in the county-Latham, Green
field and the Twenty-second dis
trict, for instance-that have been
keeping their roads in excellent
condition and they are to be COM
mended; but there are many
localities in the county whose
public roads, it is reported, have
not received a lick Of work dur
ing this entire year, and they are
all but impossible. This is the
result OF the system. The time
the roads need most attention is
the very time the farmers, who,
under the present system, are
expected to do the road work, are
very busy and cannot neglect
their crops to do public work.
They cannot be censured for this.
The levees Of this county ought
to be given special attention. First,
they ough t to be built above high
water mark, and, second, they
ought to be broad and we'll round
ed and then kept Systematically
and regularly dragged. We have
IN mind several levees in this
county that cost the county
annually for repairs from 5000 to
$500 each. This could be OBJ
waited if these levees were built
high enough and broad enough
in the beginning; and the Enter
prise trusts that those gentlemen
as committees at the
July term Of quarterly court to
make repairs on damaged levees
will raise and broaden them. We
are spending entirely too great
sum Of money for the up-keep of
our levees, because they are only
half built in the beginning. By
half built, we mean half COM
Oleted as to width and heighth.
The present system is all wrong,
because there is no no head nor
point to it. Our roads
ought to be put under the super
vision of the state highway COM
mission, with a civil engineer,
ree from local politics, in charge
n each county. With the amount
If money paid out annually in
his county for road building and
road maintenance, the roads
ought to be fit for pleasant travel
before this season Of the year;
they are now in a de-
olorable condition. bitches are
washed across them every few
eet, bridges and culverts are
zone, hills are dangerous, levees
ire impossible and the public is
demanding better road con-
litions. Every taxpayer has a

The farmers of Sumner county prid.
ed themselves this spring on their fine
pastures. Fine pastures have brought
forth fine sheep. One shipment the
last of May brought $1,000 to $11.50
per hundredweight for the lambs, and
from $3.50 to 1925 for the sheep. The
pastures have had more than the usual
abundant supply of white clover. One
visitor made the remark that the white
clover on the hills locked like banks
of snow.

We have repeatedly declared that the hmiIations which have upon this country negotiations with the bel geens Europe the direct result of the vacIan@ policy which the Wilson administration pursued in Mexico during the months of its rule prior to the outbreak of the Euro poan war. We thank Senator Fall, of New Mexico, giving the direct and umsababe lineage of this child of shame
 In brief and effective reply the mock horocs of Sen ator Lcwis Illinois, the New Mexico senator pointed out how in August 1913, the Wilson administration instructed the American consular officers in Mexico to inform the Local thortes in their several consular districts that this government would hold them 'stcy responsible" for any harm that might be Amercan for any damage that might be inflicted upon American property This notice given Wd" publicity i'll Meco The Mcxcans knew of it; the foreigners resident there and the foreign diplomats especially, knew of it. Yet the bandits of Mexico did much harm Americans and they did much damage 10 American propery-and escaped scot free.
