A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Jesus went away and prayed. Ire
mendous fact! If necessary for Him,
how much more for us! How we'll
worth the night in the mountain, If the
blind eyes open, the deaf hear, the
lame walk, the lepers are cleansed,
the dead raised up, and the devils flee
on the morrow! Prayer puts the soul
in the path of the wonder working
God, who only can save. Prayer
brings the Spirit in power upon the
soul we would have saved. Prayer
gives spiritual illumination, to know
truth and to know hearts, SO that we
live in the heavenly air. Prayer puts
us SO in accord with the heart-know-
ing God that He shall put into our
lips the message needed, beyond our
knowledge or thought Of need.-J. e.
Fernald.

BE GOOD TO YOURSELF

"Good-by, be good to yourself" are
words frequently heard when friends
are parting. What is it to be good
to oneself? The injunction covers a
wide range of duties. 1t is not merely
to eat wellsand have a good time. To
care for the health is one important
point,
Without health there is little JOY in
anything and one is not able to do
efficient work. Few are as careful
about this as they should be, when
so much in life depends on health.
At the same time the mind is to be
taken into account. To keep that ac-
tive and capable Of good work should
be our aim The mind has much in
fiuence on the body and neither can
do work unless both are in good con-
dition.
Before and after mind and body,
comes the soul. It is higher in impor-
lance. To cultivate the qualities that
lead us to reach higher and higher for
the best ideal, to live the truest lives,
is our daily and hourly duty and
should be a pleasure. The highest
joy is foUysd ii the most faithful per-
Torrance of duties.
All this covers wide field for
thought. The saying, "Be good to
yourself, may be lightly uttered, but
has a deep significance. And when
one is good to himself, the goodness
does not stop there. One can not be
his best to himself without being good
to Others.

SHOWING DILIGENCE

The Tennessee legislature is show
ing commendaBle diligence in dispos-
ing Of the liquor legislation. The lock-
er bill, the storage bill, the receiving
bill, and making bootlegging felony,
are the measures that are expected to
make the state dry in fact as well as
theory. It looks now as if they would
be in the hands of Gov. Rye by the end
of the week.
The wholesalers wanted to the first
Of July to close their business, which
was granted; but the small affairs,
which have been in reality supply
depots for the bootleggers, are de-
prived Of any advantage Of this by
the passage Of the West Virginia bill,
making it effective at once. This bill
prohibits any person or corporation
fsom buying whiskey in Tennessee,
and any common carrier from bring
ing It into the state.
There was argument before the
committee by some who plead for
time for the law to go into effect, but
no voice was raised to stay the execu-
ton Of judgment further than for a
brief respite. The business has abused
every privilege granted until there
are no defenders.

RECoLLECTIoNs NOT RELIABLE

When prices are unusually high it
is easy to imagine they were never 50
nigh before, hence you often hear Ii
said that this or that commodity
never was so high. ]. S. Reeves q Co,
Of Nashville, have issued some quota
tons Of prices in 1864 which make
those Of today look rather moderate.
This firm quotes prints at that time
at As to so cents per yard; ginghams,
40 to 49, cents per yard; apron
checks, from as to 52h cents per
yard; canton fiannels, as high as 80
cents per yard, and sheetings Of the
best quality at $3.50 per yard. While
prices are high, they have been high
er. The products of farm and factory
have advanced, and it is the salaried
man, or those who have a. business
with sort Of fixed price, that are
hit hardest.

THOMAS ". LAWSON TALKS

Thomas w. Lawson, the Spectator
Of magazine fame and. the author Of
the story of aFrenzied Finance, re-
Gently made charges about the leak
of advance news about President viii
sons peace note, Mr.. Lawson was
called before a congressional investi-
eating committee, but declined to give
names or details Of what he knew.
His claim Of knowledge and refusal to
give information finally aroused con-
gress to the point where he was re-
called before the committee, which
had determined to get the names and
facts, if he had any, or punish him
for his refusal to testify
When Mr.. Lawson reached the wit
ness stand, he realized that he faced
a situation, After a few preliminary
remarks, and the committees insist
ing that this be postponed and the
facts stated, he said that Congress-
man Henry, the chairman of the COM
mittee, had given HIM the names of
the officials that he connected with
the leak in an interview in the con-
CHEESEMAN'S office on January 2. The
names of Secretaries McAdoo and
Lansing we're both mentioned, togeth-
er with other persons in public and
private life. It looks as if it were Mr..
Lawson's purpose to make Mr.. Henry
responsible for the names of these
officials. He denies fatty that he
mentioned their names, or was in any
way responsible for the statement.
The dispatches bring denials from
a number of those mentioned among
private citizens, who deny any sort
of knowledge of the peace note until
seen in the papers. The committee
has called a number Of those men
toned in Mr. Lawson's testimony be-
fore the committee. SO far, it is Mr..
Lawson's word against the field. Law
son talks about not going to be the
"goat", and it looks as if he had
shifted the honor to Mr. Henry.

MAKE THEM EQUITABLE

There is a good deal being said in
and out Of the Tennessee legislature
about the fee system. In our opinion,
the most pernicious features Of the
system are the inequities in it. To IL
lustrate: Senator w. A. Johnson, of
Memphis, has introduced a bill in the
state senate providing that county
court clerks shall receive 10 cents for
recording automobile certificates and
collecting the tax. We hold no brief
for county court clerks in this matter,
but the introduction Of this bill shows
how often some ten-cent legislators
are ignorant Of the value Of the serv-
ices rendered by an official and their
ardent desire to save some person
provided some fellow other than
the legislator does the work.
While the law does not require it,
clerks, we ere informed, fill out for
automobile owners the applications
for license, stating name of owner,
address, manufacturer of car, horse
power, seating capacity, etc. He col
leets the tax and forwards his check
to the secretary Of state for the tax.
When the certificate is issued, the
clerk records it, like register records
deed, and certifies oves his seal that
it is duly recorded. The clerk pays
the postage on the letter to the secre-
tary Of state and the postage in mail
ing the recorded certificate to the auto
owner, making the postage cost to the
clerk four cents of the ten cents Mr..
johnson would allow the clerk for the
services.
When poor fellow gives trust on
his COW or horse for something to live
on, the statute allows the notary fifty
cents for his services in taking his ac-
acknowledgement and filling out his GER
tificate. In this case not as much
labor or responsibility is involved as
is required Of the clerk, yet Mr.. John
son would give the clerk a net fee Of
six cents for his services. The clerk
is not allowed a cent of commission
for the collection of the tax, while
the trustee would be allowed commits
sion for that service of as cents on
collections Of similar tax. The reg
lister is allowed fee Of $1.25 for re-
cording chatteI trust Of about 400
words, and rs cents extra if it has
more than one certificate. This GER
tifcate contains no more words than
the certificate that the clerk records.
These things are all fixed by statute
and we are not saying they are too
much, but calling attention to the in
equities in the fee system, illustrations
of which might be multiplied through
out the gamut. The officers mentioned
are entitled to the statutory fees. The
point we would make is that legislat-
ors have no proper conception Of the
question at issue or, like Senator
Johnson, posing as the friend Of the
automobile owners, lose sight of the
question in its broad sense, and no real
effort is made to adjust the matter on
correct lines of the services rendered
and responsibility, requiring practical
" nothing from those best able to bear
the burden while no relief is given
those on whom the burden grinds
hardest. These are the things that
give you serious doubts about an in
telligent and patriotic effort to cor
rect the fee system.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-01-18

1t is opinion the legislature has
no serioe intention Of correcting the
fee system. Something may be done
in the four large counties, but gen
eral abolition Of the fee system is not
likely, Its correction is big job,
surrounded with many difficulties.

SCREEN ACTRESS TALKS.

Those who enjoy good, wholesome
motion picture plays will welcome the
action of Miss Blanche Bates in de-
clining to appear in any production in
which drunkenness is depicted. "There
are many reasons" she says, "why all
the plays in which I've appeared have
been on the water wagon, and one Of
them is that I would not participate
in a drunken orgy any more on the
stage than off. My managers would
often say to me, But it gets the
laughs, and that's what we want And
1 would answer: Drunkenness is one
Of the most pitiful and unpleasant
conditions that any man or woman can
descend to, and If the American the
ater audiences laugh at the antics of
an intoxicated person, firmly believe
that the American sense Of humor

INSURANCE MEN DRY.

Speaking editorially of the waste In
human life due to drink, the Insurance
Magazine says:
zone of the brightest hopes that this
country had in its entrance into war
was the hope Of the abolition Of the
manufacture and use Of booze.
1T is permissible to disagree with
the president that beer and wine are
in any way more necessary than whis-
ky. Every one Of them is first aid
to German bullets, an enemy to food
conservation and a deliberately unjust
tax upon the entire country in time
Of war.
AT some national OF De- laps inter
national conference ali She chiefs u
the insurance world will put a coop
erative ban on intoxicants.
at is the man who drinks who is
more largely responsible for the pres
ent mortality tables than any other
factor.
'It is the man who drinks who is
forced to pay a greater sum for his
insurance than otherwise would be the
case.
eff the man who drinks Is still &C
ceptable as q risk at q certain price,
then the man whose system is free
from the brain-numbing poison is en-
titled to a lower rate"
