Asquith pointed out that neither the liberty nor independence of the United States was imperilled Tt was the constrainng force of conscience and humanity he added.
 John Dillon one of the nationalist leaders, in fervent speech support ing the resolution, predicted that lrishmen in proportion to their popu. lation would outnumber all other races among the soldiers of the republic. TO America Mir. billion said, Twill fall the blessed task of passing peace upon liberty" George Wardle, laborite, also spoke in favor of he resolution on behalf of his party and thus all parties in the house were represented
 In the house of lords, Earl Curzon said, the entry of the United States in the war stamped the struggle as a great uprising of the conscience of mankind to put an end to the rule of Satan on earth. The presidents speech to congress, Earl Curzon added. was a trumpet call the sound of which would ring through the ages.

 The Marquis of Crewe, admitting that the material resources of the United States were unspeakably wei come to the entente, said that even more welcome was the moral force of which Earl Curzon had spoken.

STATE BONE DRY FOR TRUE

With the last day of June rapidly
drawing to an end, Memphis whole
sale liquor dealers were busy Satur-
day folding their tents" and moving
their stocks Of "wet" goods to other
chimes, to escape the new "bone dry
law forbidding wholesale liquor sales
of storage in the state after July /,
says the Memphis Scimitar of June 30.
For more than a week the whole
salers have been making preparations
for the movement. Officials Of the
county and city police department
have been active in keeping tab on the
stocks held by the wholesalers, III an
effort to block any attempt to dispose
of the liquor here.
According to an estimate made by
Inspector Hayes, head of the city's
new law enforcement forces, not
more than $4,000 worth Of whisky
remained in the warehouses of the
wholesalers Saturday.
1t was said car load of whisky
was shipped early Saturday morning
to a point in Southern Louisiana. 9th

At the head Of the squad of special
officers, Inspector Hayes made
round of the dealers Saturday. Ev-
erywhere he found the wholesalers on
the move. Large wagons were loaded
with cases of "Old John" and were
transported to the different freight
depots.
1t was found that several of the
dealers already had disposed Of their
stocks and closed up the doors to
their places. A number of wagons
were trailed to the freight houses as
a precaution.
Inspector Hayes said Memphis
would in fact be "bone dry" so far as
the wholesalers were concerned when
the dawn of a new month arrives.
Although he said that confscated
stock now held by the police amounts
to nearly $4,000, and would be de-
next week.

THE ONE-RIvER CONTINENT

There are in Australia no Colorados
or Columbias of Tennessees, trench
ing plateaus or crossing mountain
chains, and no counterpart of the
thousands of springfield brooks and
streams issuing from lakes widely
scattered over the country. The large
area in Utah and Nevada from which
dwindling streams never escape to
the sea is represented in Australia
by an enormous expanse of territory,
comprising fully half of the continent.
The heart Of the United States is a
well-watered land of fields and woods
and cities. The corresponding part Of
Australia is dry and barren and thin
" populated. The Manipulating is
the one great river system of Austria
liza. 1t drains five-sixths of New South
Wales, more than one-half of Victoria
and nearly one-seventh of the entire
Australian continent.
Because of it's unfavorable outlet,
it's small volume, its snags and sand
bars and great sinuosities, navigation
of the Murray is limited to small
light-draft steamers towing one or
two barges. Regular traffic in grain
and wool is maintained during seven
months of the year from the mouth
of the river to Wentworth, 500 miles,
and small boats reach Albury.
In the flood year of 1870, a steamer
went beyond the Queensland border
along a river 90 miles wide; and, in
1890, steamers on the Darling be-
tween Wentworth and Burke atrav-
eled for hours without seeing any
land, and in one instance discharged
cargo 25 miles from the ordinary
channel Of the river. But a few years
later (1902-I903) the Darling ceased
to flow for eleven months. During
exceptional years the bed Of the Muir
ray is partly dry and the waters near
its mouth become too salt for stock.

DIR, GOODCHEER's REMEDY

Feel all out of kilter, do you?
Nothing goes to suit you, quite?
Skies seem sort of dark and clouded
Though the day is fair and bright
Eyes affected-fail~ TO notice
Beauty spread on every hand?
Hearing so impaired you're missing
Songs Of promise, sweet and grand
No, your case is not uncommon
'Tis popular distress;
Though it's not at all contagious,
Thousands have it, more or less;
But it yields to simple treatment,
And is easy, quite to cure;
If you follow my directions
Convalescence, quick, is sure.
Take bit of cheerful thinking,
Add a portion of content,
And, with both, let glad endeavor
Mixed with earnestness be blent;
These, with care and skill compound
ed,
Will produce a magic oil
That is bound to cure, if taken
With lot of honest toll.
If your heart is dull and heavy,
If your hope is pale with doubt,
Try this wondrous Oil of Promise,
For twill drive the evil out.
Who will mix it? Not the druggist
From the bottles on his shelf;
The ingredients required
You must find within yourself.
Success.

THE KID HAS GONE no The
C0LoRs


The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, baby,
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man-si1e
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered:
Come!
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-ioy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boyl
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems but a little while
Since he drilled a scnOolboy army
In q truly martial style.
But row he's man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse Of fear
His dad, when he told him, shuddered;
His MOTHERHOOD bless her!-cried /;
Yet, blest with mother nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose old shoulders straight
ened
Was Granddad--for memory ran
To years when he, too, as youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to a man!

BROWNSVILLE HAS 100000 FIRE

The most disastrous fire which has
visited Brownsville for many years
originated in the dry goods store of H.
ID. Sternberger, Wednesday night,
about 10 o'clock. Despite efforts Of
firemen, the entire building was quick
ly enveloped in flames which soon
spread to the jewelry shop of Carl
Marbury which joined the SternbeTger
building on the east. Next to this
building is the large department store
of Felsenthal Sons. Here, what was
thought to be fire proof wall checked
the flames for a short time, but de-
spite every effort this barrier was
soon crossed and the millinery depart
ment of Felsenthal Sons was COM
pletely destroyed.
Just when all hopes of saving this
splendid store seemed gone, the fire.
men succeeded in checking the onward
march Of the flames and the main
building was saved.
On the west Of the Sternberger
building is the grocery store Of j. L.
Shaw. This store was saved by fire
proof wall.
When the fire reached the Marbury
store, Karl Marbury entered the build
ing for the purpose of closing his safe
and was severely injured by falling
glass, which cut an artery in his arm
and lacerated the flesh. He was rush
ed to a physician who soon succeeded
in checking the flow of blood. Others
who were painfully cut by falling
glass were DeBerry Boyd, Charlie
Kinney and Joe Russell. Gregory
Howell was overcome by smoke and
heat and had to be removed from the
building. None of these young men
were very seriously injured.
Felsenthal Sons were by for the
largest losers. Their department store
is the largest in the city and, in addi-
ton to the complete destruction of
the millinery department, the entire
stock Of goods, valued at 100000 to
$4,000, was greatly damaged by
smoke, water and being removed to
the street.
The origin of the fire has not yet
been accounted for Brownsville
States-Graphic.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

In speaking of a persons faults
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those with homes of glass
Should seldom throw stone;
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better that we commence at home
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judge man
Until he's fairly tried.
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide;
Some may have faults-and who has
not?
The old as well as young
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one would do
TO those we little know;
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, "roost at home";
Don't speak of others faults until
We have none Of our own.

REGISTRATION 1858

Nashville, Tenn, June 20. - Com
plete summarization of the federal
draft in Tennessee waswmailed to the
war department today by Gov. Rye.
The complete registration for the
state is 1858. The estimate of pop
ulation prepared by the bureau of cen
sus showed that Tennessee was ex-
pected to have 196,479 men of the
draft age. The actual registration is,
therefore, 6,906 less than the census
estimate but, inasmuch as Tennessee
has more than 5000 men in the ma
tional guard, regular army, navy and
marines and persons confined in pris-
on who were not registered on account
Of not being subject to registration,
the number of people in Tennessee of
military age exceeds the census esti-
mate Of 196,479.
Rutledge Smith, in charge of the
registration work, stated that an an
alysis of the number of men in the
regular branches of service and per-
sons confined in prisons and asylums
not subject to registration would
make the total number of male citi-
zens in Tennessee of military age, be-
tween p and 80, inclusive, approx
mately 100000.
