A CALL TO
PATRIOTS

i * srf
Now our hearts beat fast for our
country The tocsin Of war is
sounding, the colors are flying,
there - q cry ITO arms. It is an
hour Of need. Strong, courageous
men must answer the call.
We will not tolerate a war of lust
or greed. We will not support an
army Of ruthless invaders. We
will fight, not for booty, not for
revenge, not for glory, but only for
the enforcement Of Justice and
peace Such fight is not always
may, it is seldom -waged with
shot and shell.
The essence OF Americanism is
that we will ever strive to shield
our country against the evils, with
out and within, which would COM
pass her downfall. And Americas
most dangerous enemies are the
greed, graft, exploitation and igno-
rance within her own borders.
Where these flourish, men and in
situations decay.
Every great man is revolution
list. Every great movement is her
aided by a declaration Of indepen-
Edence.
Today Tennessee is on the
threshold Of peaceful revolution.
What we do now will shape our
destiny. We are to determine
whether We will call q constitutions
al convention which, holding fast
that which is good, shall remould'
ancient institutions in keeping with
the intelligence and experience Of
the twentieth century.
Let us rededicate ourselves to
the American ideal. Let us correct
our alterations from the orbit Of
efficient government. Letus high
sly resolve that we will do the ut
most within our power to make
this State not merely q follower
after the progress Of the world, but
! pioneer in all those measures
which tend toward social Justice.
Then we shall be American pa
triots and worthy Of our heritage.

social life. leading relief workers,
heads Of local charitable institu-
tions and many prominent citizens
were on hand early iii the afternoon
to assist and cooperate with Mr..
Cooper's representatives in this
worthy cause.
Not only were the poor women,
girls and orphans of the various in
situations remembered, as had been
previously planned, but several
hundred other poor and needy
women and girls from all parts Of
the city came to seek Mr.. Cooper's
bounty and none were denied.
Long before the appointed hour

ing for the doors to open and form

than half q block.
The charitable institutions rep

Mary's School (Catholic), by the
sisters; Riverside School, by Miss
Beauchsmp, and many others.
In referring to the occasion, G..
+. Willis, Mr.. Cooper's Southern
representative, said: my only re-
greet is that Mr.. Cooper could not
have been present to-witness this
scene. He WAS once a poor man
himself aud is never happier than
when helping others. "
When askedAwhether Mr.. Cooper
would make any further contribn-
tions, Mr.. Willis said; "Mr. Coop

Gasolene Inquiry Reveals
That Pipe Lines Still
Bar Competition.
PROSECUTION MAY
REQUIRE NEW LAW
Attorney General Refuses to
Give Senate Results of
His Investigation

Washington. April 13.-Evidence re-
lsting 70 the rise % gasolene Is being
considered by the Department Of JUS
tice with a view. it IS understood, 70
determining if prosecutions can be
brought under the law as it stands, or
whether additional legislation will be
required.
Attorney General Gregory declined
to-day 20 give the Senate the informa-
ton sought In the Kenyon resolution
regarding the results of an investiga-
ton OF the working Of the Supreme
Courts Standard Oil decree on the
ground that TO do so would be incom-
patible with public interest.
This development and the reappear-
snce OF Charles b. Morrison. of Chi
eago, In the case strengthened belief
that the department had not finished
IT'S Investigation and gave rise 10 the
report that department officials had
requested Mr.. Morrison to look into the
rasolene situation with view 20 fur
ther prosecutions.
Whist is feared as a bar 20 prosecu-
fions in the dissolution decree Is the
provision which permitted the original
owners Of the oil trust 20 retain owner
shIp OF the various companies into
which the combine was split up. New
legislation to correct this situation may
be sought.
The dissolution decree. IL is under
stood, is viewed by officials as a
failure in certain respects, chief Of
which is that the great transporta-
.ion system Of pipe lines constructed
by the combine is left I'm the hands Of
its original owners and is operated.
