Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1916-07-28

The wise adjustment Of the
momentous questions confronting
the national government today
calls for experience, for ingt nuity,
for moral courage, for unselhsh
manhood, for gigantic intellect,
for keen observation and for the
exercise of a discreet and deliberate
Judgment. No period OF American
history has presented questions Of
equal difficulty or importance,
The old division of domestic
policies are not alone involved, but
innumerable questions and prob
lens that the founders and trainers
of the constitution did not provide
for and did not conceive could
arise are now being reckoned with.
Legislative questions are daily
presenting themselves more novel
and trying even than those at
tendant upon the early days OF an
experimental republic; questions
involving new relations between
individuals, between states and
especially between the great ma
tions OF the world; questions OF
finance, of revenue OF taxation,
and questions relating to new, I'M
tried, and embarrassing condl.
tions; questions, intricate and
perplexing; questions that are cry
ing loudly for the exercise OF the
wisdom OF the wisest of men.
Whatever may be the destiny Of
this our republic, three years of
its history is now written by
democracy under the matchIess
leadership OF the greatest OF Ameri-
can statesmen and human bene-
factor, Woodrow Wilson; a Hector
in towering majesty; an Achilles
in superior ability; a Diomede and
Ulysses in sagacity, faithfulness
and preparedness. These three
years have been marked by un-
parallel advancement in material
wealth and prosperity and greater
degree of freedom and happiness
to its great citizenship than was
eyer before vouchsafed to any
portion of the human race. These
achievements have been made
under the leadership of a great
president by and with the CO.
operation of the national legislative
bodies. A democratic senate and
congress have upheld his hands
and fought for his principles that
never ending fight. And among
the most potent Of all his able
advocates, and advocates OF the
democratic party, who now grace
the halls of the American congress
is Tennessean. Young is he in
years, but ripe and wise in ex-
perience. Brilliant and courageous
he has always been. No congress
man has ever stood in the sacred
halls of that distinguished body
who has devoted his time and
talents with greater diligence,
stronger fidelity, more unwavering
faith in the rectitude of his pur-
pose, and purer patriotism to the
of the high and noble
duties of that exalted position than
has the Hon. Finis J. Garrett, Of
the Ninth congressional district Of
Tennessee.
Mr.. Garrett is the son of

reason for every innovation upon
existing conditions; that checks
imprudent zeal and gives time fol
mature elaboration, and the ex-
ercise Of cool and sober judgment
In the performance of the duties
of his important position he has
illustrated, both by precept and
by practice, the maxim that, "A
public office is a public trust y
His strength. his time, and bis
extraordinary abilities have been
wholly devoted to the duties of bis
office. He has been true to the
trust confded to him. No breath
of suspicion has ever assailed bis
integrity ,dimmed the brightness OIL
his honor. Swallowed the impress
of his splendid mind, or marred
the luster of his unfaltering patriot
ism. He is indeed a typical
American citizen, presenting fully
as any who has preceded him, or
who is now in congress, the full
capabilities and consummations of
American manhood. He believes
in giving the people the greatest
service for the least cost. You
and | and every man, woman and
child is a stakeholder in this
government, and we are concerned
in the management Of its business
affairs. This is true OF the
smallest unit of governmental
force-the school district-and it
is true of the largest unit-the
organization Of the national govern
ment itself.
In his study Of government, as
l have said, Mr.. Garrett believes
in a democracy. He believes that
the people have a right to rule,
and ought to rule. He believes
that the people of the smallest
units Of government in the home
precinct, where John Jones and
Jim Smith cast their ballots for a
public improvement, should per-
meate our entire system OF govern
ment.
1t is the theory Of dmocracy that
a mans home is his castle; that it
is and should be inviolate, and not
subject to federal search by alien
officers. 1t is equally democratic
doctrine that every community, in
so far as it is possible for its own
good, and compatible with national
or state laws, to rule its own
sacred precincts, and as a student
OF government Mr.. Garrett has
made his stand for these ingram
ed democratic doctrines. He
believes in a government that
is doing the greatest good to
the greatest number.
Finis ]. CARROTS record in
congress is an open book and on
its every page be has reflected
honor on his constituency. He
has been in the heat of battle for
his party's sake. He has had
an important part in the national
councils Of this country. He has
assisted in making this the golden
era Of Americas greatest achieve
ments. He should be returned to
until the danger zone is
past and the old ship is sailing
smoothly in the calm waters Of
peace.

farmer. 1t was upon his father {
farm that he spent his youthful
days. There under, the teachings
Of his noble-parents,by precept and
example was laid the foundation Of
a moral and intellectual structure
which he has been building SC
symmetrically. Having had the
good fortune to be born on the
farm always the nursery Of men,
tai and physical development and
power) his earliest associations
were with the people who earn
their bread by the sweat OF their
brow and the labor of their own
hands. The impressions thus
made on him are still with him.
They have inspired his sympathies
aud to great extent have gov
erned his ideas Of public duty.
He has never ceased to remember
and care for the honest who labor
in that noble vocation which
blesses the world with nearly all
its wealth and its subsistence.
And as a notional legislator he has
bent the whole power Of his strong
energies with faithful industry in
vindication and protection OF the
rights of the agricultural classes,
and in the amelioration of the con-
dition of the multitude of toiling
men and women who constitute
ours, the greatest and best OF all
republics. He has always been a
firm believer in the perpetuation
of constitutional government and
the liberty which it secures, by
maintaining the checks and
balances imposed upon the CO.
ordinate departments of the govern
ment. However, while upholding
in full force and vigor the just
powers Of federal authority, he has
opposed with manly frmness
every attempted encroachment up.
on the liberties Of the people, and
the reserved rights of the states.
His party is the great and
wonderful democracy to which
he consistently adheres through
storm as we'll as sunshine, through
the disasters Of defeat as we'll
as through the fortunes Of
success. The charming principles
Of democracy are to him very
sacred, and he has chung to them
tenaciously through many bitter
contests upon the floor Of congress.
He has supported them with an
earnestness and aggressiveness
that has not only carried convic-
ton. He has at all times since he
has been a member of congress
INDUCED an exalted pride in his
country's institutions, and viewed
with alarm and questioned with
remorseless severity any measure
or policy that from his standpoint
imperiled or seemed to imperil the
safety of the land marks set up by
our fathers.
He is a conservative statesman.
Not conservative, however, to the
extent that he stands out against
profound logic, against bold facts,
against sound public opinions, and
against human progress, but pos
sessed Of that conervatism that
calls halt, and argues the pro-
priety Of the act; that demands a

Delicious MarshmalIows Require Only
a Moderate Amount Of Care In
Their Preparation and Serving.

II you wish pure, delicious marsh
mallows, soak two tablespoonfuls
graduated gelatin in ten Tablespoons
fuls of cold water until soft. Pour
ten tablespoonfuls of boiling water
over two cupfuls of sugar, and boil un-
til 1t makes a strip which will form a
thread when dropped from the spoon.
Remove the strip from the fire and
stir into it the softened gelatin. Let
stand until cool, then add salt and
fiavoring and beat until it becomes
stiff enough to hold its own shape.
Pour the candy into granite pans dust
ed with powdered sugar and let stand
in a cool place until set. Cut in
cubes and roll in powdered sugar.
Chocolate marshmallows are made
either by coating the plain marshmal-
lows with melted, -unsweetened choco-
late, or adding melted chocolate to the
marshmallow mixture before cooking.
Chopped nuts or candied fruits may
be stirred into the mixture after 1t
has been removed from the fire. In
stead of vanilla lavoring, fruit Juice
may be used in place of part of the

LOVE OF WILD BIRDS GROWS
Hundreds of Organizations for Their
Care and Protection Have Been
Formed Throughout Country.

Uncle Sam detects a growing love
of wild birds among the people of this
country. The annual report of the
United States biological survey says
that everywhere efforts are being
made to increase the number of birds
and attract them to the vicinity OF
homes. This movement is said to be
partly esthetic, but also partly due to
a growing appreciation of the useful
ness of birds as insect destroyers.
The report declares that 1.-THE in
crease of interest in wild birds
throughout the United States during
the past decade has been phenomenal,
and organizations having for their
chief object the care and protection
of birds are numbered by hundreds, If
not by thousands"

One tablespoonful Of brown sugar
added to two tablespoonful of -four
and three of cold water and cooked,
stirring constantly, until creamy,
makes a most excellent paste. Makes
a splendid sizing where wall paper
refuses to stick to a painted wall.
Keep candles on the ice for a day
before using on a birthday cake, and
they will burn slowly and evenly.
When dropping muffin dough into
the tins, first dip the spoon into boil
ing water and the dough will not stick
to the spoon.
Place crumbled tissue paper in the
bottom of the jar and your cookies
will keep fresh and crisp.
Dry flour applied with a newspaper
is an excellent and easy way to clean
tinware. -

Dreamed Asparagus.

Fresh asparagus is plentiful and de-
licious just now. Try this recipe the
next time you prepare it. Tie the
bunch up with a soft string, cut off
the necessary part, and cook for at
least rs minutes in sailed water. Have
ready a few slices of crustless toast
ed bread. Dip these in the asparagus
liquor, then butter we'll and arrange
on a platter. Drain the asparagus and
place it on the toast. Now make a
good cream sauce, using q cupful Of
milk, a teaspoonful of -four and a ia
blespoonful of butter and seasoning.
This. is the simplest of dishes, but it
is an ever welcome one.

in London. Up rose President Sterling
of the Belfast delegation and said that
whenever he required exact technical
details concerning B~elfast's chief in
dustry, the linen trade, he was obliged
to seek it in the American consular re-
ports. These, he said, contain better
information than is possessed by the
British government or by the Belfast
trade. Others present at the meeting
made similar reports.
The American consular service is a
service Of professionals run by pro-
/ f%essionals. At the head is Robert Lam
sing, secretary of state, a specialist in
international law and processes as a
result Of service in the state depart
ment since 1892. Second in command
is Wilbur ]. Carr, director of the con
sular service. who has risen from a
position as a minor clerk in the state
department which he occupied 20
years ago.
To determine the value of the con-
sular service in dollars and cents, re-
ports were recently requested as to
the results of consular activities on be-
half of trade. Replies from half the
c~onsuls showed that orders for Ameri,
can goods obtained through their eff
forts during 4 period Of six months
amounted to more than $24,6OO 900.
A consul himself never makes a sale.
He helps bring together the foreigner
who wants American wares and the
American firm or iObber who has those
wares to sell.
And the work of the consular agents
in the development of trade is only one
of many features of their activities
The 100 per cent efficient consul of to
day is expected to be a business man
a lawyer, a linguist, a general cosmo
polite and. often, a judge.
