J. N0RMENT POWELL

The news of the death of j. Norment
Powell ON last Sunday morning at q
Richmond. Va, hospital, was receiv.
ed with profound regret.
Only 80 years of age at the time
of his death Mr.. Powell had already
taken high rank at the bar. He was
a brilliant and well balanced lawyer
and but for his untimely demise
would have added to his already en-
viable reputation.
Although strong advocate he nev-
err forgot to be courteous in the most
heated debate. Genial and afable
without being unduly familiar he was
liked by all.
A Virginian by birth and election
much Of his time was spent in East
Tennessee His death is loss to the

TIL REASON FOR HIGH
COST OF PRINT PAPER
New York Commercially

New York Commercially
An explanation of the reasons for
the high cost of paper is contained
in a statement sent to customers by
an Ohio company.
Tie prices of pulp. rags and other
sources of fibre have increased enor-
mou ly, while labor has gone UP.
Where formerly the mills worked their
men in two shifts of twelve hours
each, many of the large mills worked
three shifts of eight hours each.
Paper materials used in the United
Stats have come from other com
tries largely for many years. Sui
phit> pulp importations in 1912 were
$4,000 tons, in 1913 373,56G tons. in
1914 45S.l56 tons and in 1915 394 ,32l
tons This year in January and FEB.
ruay the imports were about 10000
tons which is about normal In
March they dropped to 1900 tons,
! in april to 9,270 tons and in May to
3,9S- tons.
Tie average price of sui Ihita on
the dock in this city baforc the war
was $3.50 a hundredwcight for un-
/ blea he'd and $265 for bleached Ihe
price today is $3.50 for unbleauhed
and 81 for bleached. Besides this,
The paper makers lose 10 per cent
NOR on these prices. as they buy
sulphite 80 per cent dry and paper is
sold loo per cent dry.
o her items of import for paper
making, such as rags. old papers, old
ropS and bagging, have been shut off
or cut down by the war. More than
$4,000 tons of these materials were
formerly imported each year.
Exports of book paper have in
crea ed enormously, and this adds 10
the demand and takes out of the
Coz try paper VIII ch might be used
as. II in manufacturing paper. III
IHII more than 10000, 900 pounds of
book paper were exported end in 1915
more than 100000 pounds. Today
book paper is being exported at the
, rate of more than S5,000,000 pounds
year, and since the first of he year
have been increasing at the rate of
1000, 900 pounds month.
Paper mill felts, wires and other
articles have also increased in price
New machinery and repairs cost more
because of manufacturers having TO
pay the prices established By the mu-
milton orders. Casein glue has adj
vancod in price several hundred per
cent, and the aniline situation is in
tense. The blue coloring required in
making white paper was not worth
notice when anilines were worth 4 |
cents pound, but now aniline costs
several dollars for each ton of paper. |
The manufacturers are not inclined |
to add to their equipment, as to do SO |
would take Is months, by which time
the war may be over and the brisk
ness of business may have subsidized,
Before the war the book paper mills
seldom ran at capacity, but in 1916
they actually averaged 1O2 per cent
of their rated tonnage.
Every pulp mill in Norway has been
shut down on account of a general
strike, and this will decrease by 50
per cent the imports of sulphte from
Scandinavia for an indefinite period.

THE COLONELCY ELECTION

At the election held on last Tuesday
at the Nashville mobilization camp
Capt. w. N. Hughes, Jr., U. S. A., was
elected colonel of the reorganized
First Tenn Infantry Regiment, the
federal law allowing army officers to
accept such commissions in certain
instances without FORGETTING their
commissions in the army.
The selection of officers of the reg
lar army for field officers in the Ma
tional Guard should be the exception
rather than the rule; for there are
many competent officers in the Guard
who are ordinarily entitled to first
consideration, and it will discourage
them in attempting to prepare them
selves if they see the best positions
going habitually to professional sol
diers.
During the Spanish war
Capt. Geo. Leroy Brown of the army
was appointed colonel of Tennessee
regiment; but at that time very little
had been done to develop the Guard
of the state or to train its officers,
and the appointment was proper.
In the present instance the objec-
ton is largely removed by the fact
that while not appointed to the army
from Tennessee Capt. Hughes is "a
Tennessean by birth and seems to be
the choice OF a majority of the line
officers who would serve under him;
but an undesirable element of uncer-
tainity is introduced by the fact that
the President can at any time require
him to relinquish his command and
return to the regular service.
Capt. Hughes was elected by only
small majority over Col. Halbert,
who commanded the regiment when
it was mustered out by Gov. Hooper.
So heated had become the contest that
prior to the election, the Governor
oil 4hnt
Hughes were elected he would adhere
TO previous decision not to COM
mission any employee or attachee of
the Adiutant Generals department to
any elective office of the National
Guard, believing that there is in the
Guard sufficient material to fill the
position, and that member of the
Guard and resident of the state should
be chosen. Notwithstanding this
warning the Hughes followers con-
tinued their support and he was elect
ed. A numbes of officers have petit
toned the Governor to issue the com
mission but he has not announced his
decision.
The situation is unfortunate. Capt. |
Hughes is a capable officer and is
well liked by the Guard officers with |
whom he has served as Federal adj
yisory officer and it is said that he
has not been personally active in the
race If the Governor yields and
commissions him he will, no doubt,
make a good colonel; but we believe
with the Governor that there is in
the Guard sufficient material for such
positions.

The Loyalty of Expediency

Jesus proclaimed to an erring, war
ring world that whatever is morally
wrong can not be made legally right.
That is one thing man has been too
slow to learn to his own undoing.
Christ proclaimed the freedom of the
sons of God, in that they were the
heirs of all things worth the having.
Their Father was the Proprietor of
the universe. They were the sons of
the King of kings. And yet, they
were to- obey civil rulers because civil
rulers are in the hands of their God.
Jesus paid his taxes. The temple
was divine institution. 1t was not

Skids and Turns Around
Three Times on Track

indianapolis. Ind, May 81. - The
first near-accident in practice at the
Speedway in preparation for the May
80 S0O-mile race was staged by Gil
Anderson in his initial spin in his new
Premier car. Anderson brought his
new mount to the track and the first
time around reeled off better than so
miles an hour. which is the qualifying
time. He did about ten laps. then
skidded in oil on the bricks. and pro-
ceeded to electrify the crowd of spec
tators by turning completely around
three times, tamming his rear wheel
hub against the cement retaining wall
then righting his car and proceeding
on his way with apparent unconcern.
His car was not damaged, and al
though the motor was new ana
stir he proclaimed absolute sattsfac-
ton. II is said the new Premier race
cars have been built from the ground
up quicker than any other race car in
automobile racing history. With An
derson are his old team mates, Tom
Rooney and Earl Cooper. Anderson
won the big speedway race at New
York last year.
Practically all OF the entrants in the
May so speedway event are now on the
job in strenuous workout. The three
Frontenacs are the object of great
deal of interest. They weigh only
about 1900 pounds each, and are said
TO he entirely made by the three Chew
rolet brothers, Louis, CASTOR and Ar
thur. II is no trick for them to un-
ravel about 90 miles an hour.
The foreign built cars are being
worked harder than any other. This
includes three Delages. four Peugeots,
two Sunbeams. and the Pusun, which
is a Peugeot chassis with a Sunbeam
motor. The military guards who have
the task OF policing the grounds have
opened camp. making the speedway
look like a summer training camp with
their tents and night camp fires.
The speedway management have
made an offer to Governor Ralston, of
Indiana. of ten per cent. of the net
profits of this years race as a contri-
button towards the Statewide effort
for park system. Men who own and
operate the speedway, c. G.. Fisher, A.
c. Nemby, F. II. Wheeler and J. A.
Allison. are known for their public
spirit and philanthropy. Fisher is the
father OF the Lincoln Highway idea
