doubtedly the greatest protection
against any public menace. There
are many ways for the public to gain
knowledge of existing conditions, but
none 50 effective as the press and the
stage. When it was discovered. some
three years ago, that d gigantic trust
for the traffic of young women and
girls had been built up In this country
these two great mediums combined to
expose it and today the percentage Of
girls who fall victims to their shares
has been very materially reduced. The
subject IS not yet sufficiently talked
about. Everyone should know the
methods Of these wolves Of society.
Every girl should be familiar with
the bait they set their traps with.

appears at the Paine Opera House,

SUPPLY COMPANY BANQUET

The Covington Supply Co. held its
annual banquet to its stockholders
and employees in the dining rooms Of
the First Methodist church at $3.50
p. m. on January 8.
Forty-two plates were served at
this banquet in the style in which>the
good ladies of that church are noted
to excel. The feast was a most de-
lightful one and was highly enjoyed by
those who were fortunate enough to
be present
Mr.. w. " McF'adden, secretary and
treasurer, acted as toast master for
the occasion and apparently was at
his best and by his polished manner
and genial humor made the company
feel perfectly at home and in full sym
pathy with the speakers, among whom
were; w. A. Owen, who spoke of
Loyalty, which he described as fidel-
ity To, oneself, to duty, to ones own
country, and to the community; and
Mr.. w. v. Bringle, whose topic was
Courtesy" Mr.. Bringle said that
courtesy is one Of the highest attri-
butes of man; that no success is worth
having without it and that this seemed
to be one of the most conspicuous
characteristics of both the manage
ment of the Supply Co. and its en-
ployes; that uniform courtesy is the
custom and he believed that it is one
Of the Company's most valuable
assets.
Mr.. Bringle was followed by Rev. R.
IA. Clark, Rev. r. p Walker, Rev. M.
r. Gibson, and by Mr.. James j. Miller,
who was referred to in compliment
airy manner by several of the speakers
on his retirement after many years
of service to this firm.
The report of the Supply Company
showed that the year just past has
been one of the most prosperous in
its long history, the sales during that
time having exceeded the sum Of
$180,0O0.00.
The most pleasing part of the pro-
gram came when the president arose
and announced that, having had so
prosperous a year, fact which he at
tributed in large measure to the
efforts of the employees, he, thought
they were entitled to share ia this
prosperity; consequently the manage
ment had apportioned 4 cash bonus
based upon services of his sales force
and thereupon,. amid great applause,
delivered checks ranging in amount
from five to one hundred dollars to
each of the working force. No more
concrete evidence Of the perfect har-
mony and genuine feeling of good fell
lowship which prevails between EN-
ployer and employed could be shown
than by this action.
The meeting closed with an eloquent
and fervent prayer by the Rev Mr..
Russell.

HIT JOHN BARLEYcoRN HARD

The recent decision of the United
States supreme court that the Webb
Kenyon bill is constitutional has dealt
the liquor traffic blow that was
needed to settle the question. The
law that licensed the traffic never
seemed to have but one meaning for
a large number of those engaged in
the trafic--a right to live and do bus
mess. 1t seemed to have no meaning
when it undertook to regulate and
dictate how the business should be
done. They gloated in their power
until the sovereign will Of the people
began to take effective means of sup
pressing the evil, and never failed to
abuse the few privileges left them.
AS illustrative of this, the whole
sale houses were still permitted to do
an interstate business, but did they
do legitimate business? Mr.. Nc
Alister stated, in his lecture at the
First Baptist church Sunday night,
that they were largely depots for
bootleggers. He illustrated this by
stating that 5000 gallons were ship
ped into Knoxville and 20 gallons
were shipped out; the other, he face
tiously remarked, leaked out.
The liquor business has demonstrat-
ed to the people that it will not be
controlled. 1t has had refuge under
the personal liberty and the right Of
local self-government ideas until the
menace grew so great that these
things, good in themselves, were no
longer able to cover the vicious
business.
The effect of the ruling of the
courts is to curtail some ancient
rights and privileges, but what right
or privilege could long live under the
rule of John Barleycorn? 1t has abso-
lutely refused to be controlled or reg
slated. The people and the courts
have arrived at the point where sup
preston alone is effective, and the
Webb-Kenyon bill has given the states
a free hand in suppressing the traffic,
even to the extent of regulating the
shipments for personal use.
It is to be hoped that the Tennessee
Legislature will take the matter up at
once and enact such laws as are nee
essary to make the power Of the state
effective. This should be done speed.
iIy, SO that the attention Of the legis-
lators can be turned to other affairs.
There is nothing left to discuss ex-
cepting effectiveness, and this should
be speedily arrived at by those
charged with the duty.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-01-11

Fourth-An act making bootleg
ging a felony
Fifth-An act more clearly defining
the status Of an agent in the matter
Of ordering and receiving LIQUOR
shipments.
Sixth IAN amendment to the nGi-
sance act, to include wholesale houses
and locker clubs.
The above, in some form, is favored
by members Of the Legislature and the
difference will be largely one Of de-
tail
The question Of a constitutional
convention and abolition Of the fee
system will form a part Of the legis-
lative program, but just what will be
done with these important measures
is speculative.
The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1917-01-11

older in years? But think how many
of the parents are themselves to
blame for the defects, mentally and
morally, Of their children. When a
young girl fails to find any encour-
agement or consolation under the pa
rental roof, naturally she will seek it
elsewhere; and when she finds it, no
matter from what source it comes,
she places herself into those arms Of
consolation without giving thought
to the future and when the parents
learn what has happened to their
child, then only do they awaken to
the situation and see where the blame
lies that their child was one Of those
girls without chance.
Observing the possibility Of this
theme, Whitney Collins built around
it his play, aThe Girl Without
Chance and it has proven SO at
tractiye that the management Of
paine's Opera House has taken steps
to secure it for Tuesday, January Is.

IF Law IN FAYETTE, WHY NOT
IN Upton?

We note in the Fsyette Falcon that
the chairman Of che county court
called the attention of the court to
the fact that IN fusure he would issue
no more warrants to magistrates for
services rendered, except as pre-
scribed BY the sHtute. TIL. airman
called the attention Of the al i to IN
opinion from the circuit Judge and the
attorney general, in which they held
that, under the law, no warrant could
be issued to any member of the court
for services rendered the county, and
notice was given that, under this rul-
ing, he could not issue warrants to
members Of the court excepting strict
" as the law prescribes.
If this is the law in Fayette, why
not in Upton? We have the same
judge and attorney general. The mem
bers Of the court are peace officers and
charged with the duty of seeing that
others obey the law and should, there
fore, begin by respecting the law
themselves.

LEGISLATURE ORGANIZED

The two houses of the legislature
were quickly organized by electing
Senator W. R. Crabtree, of Chattanoo-
ga, speaker Of the senate and Repre-
sentative Clyde Shropshire, of Nash
vilee, speaker of the house. The other
minor positions were disposed Of with
equal despatch. The senate was ready
for business Tuesday but the house
was not ready, hence nothing was
done in legislative way.
Comptroller Thompson and Treas
urer Dunlap had no opposition. The
fight for secretary of state was the
important state office that the caucus
had to settle. There were three can
didates, W. D. Scruggs, of Fayette
county, Ike Stevens, Of Dyer, and C.
d. Williams, Of Davidson county.
This was gotten out of the way speed
lily by the election Of Mr.. Stevens.

The effort of the sheriffs of the

much in every campaign about reduc-
