lowed is quite another. l cannot in this message adequately review that course; that I-shall do later
 No intelligent man is deceived by the temporary prosperity due to abnormal conditions and no one can fail to appre- ciate the gravity of the problems with which we shall be faced when. the war ends. We are alive to the imperative necessity of assuring the bases of honest business. I am in deep sympathy with the effort to improve the conditions of labor; to prevent exploitation; to safe guard the future of the nation by pro- tecting our women and children. l believe in workmen's compensation laws in wise conservation of our national resources so that they may be protected, developed and used to the utmost public advantage. mote social justice is the indispensable condition that there shall be a stable foundation for honorable enterprise. American industry must have proper pro- lection if labor is to be safeguarded. We must rescue our instrumentalties of in terstate and foreign commerce. our trans portation facilities from uncertainty and confusion. We must show that we know how to protect the public without destroy ing crippling our productive energies
 ITO what agency shall we look for the essential constructive programme on which our security and prosperity must depend? It is vain to expect it from the democratic party. That party has not the national outlook. Both it's traditions and dominating influences are fatal handicaps. I have no sectional word to utter. We are to elect a President of the whole country, not of a part. The south, as well as the north, east and west, will be the gathers from our en- deavors. But it is sober truth as I see if that as we go forward we must make the republican party the instrument of our advance. We want deeds, not words; far-reaching national policies. The pro- gressives have insisted on responsible not invisible, government; on efficient administration. I yield to no one in that demand. I am eager to call the best ability of the country to our aid. For the conduct of the great departments the executive is directly responsible and there is no excuse whatever for the toleraton of incompetence in order to satisfy parti- san obligations.

Washington, June 26.-Administration officials today prepared to ask Congress to authorize a military news censor ship in connection with the Mexican sit uation.
 Upon recommendation of the army war college, a resolution was drafted at the war department empowering the Presi- dent to promulgate censorship regula- tions. They would apply at the state, war and navy departments as well as along the border and in Mexico.
 Secretary Baker also announced that a press bureau, under an army officer as censor, was being organized to handle all news from the war department.
 The tentative censorship resolution drafted in the chief of staff's office to- day, would give the President broad powers in imposing restrictions upon pub lication of military news. It proposes that whenever in his judgment the de-

Beloved sons of Tennessee,
Bravest of the brave; noblest of the
free;
To you we extend our hearts full OF
love,
Our earnest solicitations for help from
above.
The highest of praise we commend to
you,
Mothers idols heroically true.
Our country has signaled;
You've answered the call.
God grant that none of you shall fall /!
Tho the journey is long and mystically
filed,
With thoughts of being treacherously
killed,
May your staunch hearts TEEN with
courage anew,
Till the last grim obstacle is removed
from view.
The eye that watches the sparrow S
Will heed the mothers tender call
To guide her boy thru wars domain,
To ease him when he's racked with
pain;
To stay him in the hardest fight
Boys, be brave; you'll come out right!

TO MEMBERS OF TENNESSEE
TRAVELLERS

Doubtless you are al acquainted
with the fact by this time that we
will hold our Annual Convention in
Nashville, Tenn, instead of Memphis
as formerly planned last year at our
convention in Knoxville. The con-
vention will be in session Friday and
Saturday July, Z and and there will
be some very important matters to
come up before the convention this
year that will necessitate your attendl
ance.
Nashville has promised to entertain
us royalty this year and / am sure
that they will do it, for they have al
ready been informed of the splendid
treatment that we received at Knox
vile last year, and they will try to
go Knoxville one better Those Of us
that failed to attend the convention
last year do not now realize just how
much we missed, and trust that ev-
cry member from Cookeville will be
present at the convention at Nash
vile.
1t seems to me that every travelling
man on the road, after enjoying all
the benefits to be derived from this
association, could well afford to sac
rifice the two days time and small
amount of money that it will cost to
attend this convention. Hoping to
see you all at the convention, am,
Yours very truly,
