The Coming Tower
AnnuS Nirabilis, 1917

The spring is late this year; tho crocus sheath
Releases ardly its furlcd gold;
And if YOU turn the matted leaves beneath
stone pasture walls. YOU find ice fingers, cold
And tense, still clutching striving to withhold
Lies stir in random Corners Even so
Democracy late spring vet feels the old
Grim iccGkc fingers of a dwindluC foe.
Bat the climbs and God uncounDcd seeds
OF brotherhood and justice seek the light
and though rank crowths and bitter crowdnc weeds
Spring thick amid good grain, they will not blight

Ready There ar gloves upon his hands.

Every school in Nashville seems to
be.alive with Sunday School Congress
spirit The boys Of the various
schools that form the Cadet Move
ment were thrilled when the an
nouncement was made that Gen. W.
H. Crawford, the commanding general
of the Boy Cadet Movement Of the
United States, would be in the city.
The Congress Secretary gave this in
formation out after receiving several
kilograms from Gen Crawford who de-
declared that his coming to Nashville
would be ito help save the boys" Gen.
Crawford is practicing physicion
with perhaps the largest practice in
the capital city Of Texas. The Boy
Cadet Movement was his own origin
and was made part of the Sunday
School Congress at Muskogee, Okla,
when with tears in his eyes he made a
plea to give the ragged boy Of my
race chance"
He was heard by DR.. r. H. Boyd of
this city and DR.. G. H. Clark, chairman
of the Congress movement, who Joined

The assininity OF the unchecked mob
should be the ubject OF most rigid
investigation, so that the thruth and
the whole truth may be known to
the world. The authorities seemed to
have handled the situation in very
clumsy manner. In fine it looks to
man up a tree that they played pur-
posely into the hands Of the mob.
1t was known all over SHELBY Coun-

made so far as We can learn, to foil
the mob. 1t was truly a gala day for
the good white Christian people of
Shelby County, who give much to re.
ligion and nothing to a higher civil
lization. This country has no time
to talk about the brutality of other
nations, it has enough to look after

TURNER COLLEGE NOT SUS-
PENDED.

Mr.. Editor
There appeared in these columns
a notice from a prominent layman OF
the A. M. E. church, from Alabama,
stating that he intended to appear be-
fore the Board Of Trustees OF Turn
er College at its next meeting and
make a motion 30 suspend operations
at the college.
He gave as his reasons, the follow
ing: That the school was a burden
upon the dear people" Of Tennessee;
that II was a failure; that the money
spent in the operation of the school
for the last few years was so much
"blood money!" that the teachers
were unpaid and that it would take
all the money that could be raised
this Spring to settle with them that
our creditors were pressing us to the
wall. And last but not least, that ]
was retiring because l had failed and
was giving up the Ghost"

THE WINE PRESS OF, SORROW.

Everybody must sooner or later
tread the wine press of sorrow, so
it is written, and so it comes to pass
in the experience Of men. Some may
seem to be immune for the time, but
eventually misfortune overtakes them
then they become initiated into the
mysteries of the great fraternity, and
join the unnumbered, MULTITUDE (of
men and women who are treading the
wine press OF sorrow. 1t is one of
the universal, immutable laws of
life, and has no exceptions. The ap-
parent exceptions are apparent only,
and serve merely to illustrate the
rule. Sooner or later all men must
taste the bitter cup, and many OF
them must drain it to the dregs.
Sooner or later all mon must expert
ence misfortune and calamity, and
many OF them must be overwhelmed
by them. Sooner or later all men
must tread the wine press OF sorrow,
and many of them must be crushed
in the mill. 1t is the common lot OF
the human race, and none may hope
to escape.

DRAFT REGISTRATION.

Nashville, Tenn, May " 1917.
To the Bdtor OF the Nashville Globe,
Dear Sir
In the last issue OF your worthy
journal, I was disappointed to not
find anything with regard to the draft
registration set for June 9th. have
given considerable thought to this
matter and the more think and read
Of it the more drastic It appears. 1t
Is really alarming when you think of
this drastic measuse and Of the num-
Der OF our young men VINO are with
in the specified age limit-21 to 81
years-that are ignorant OF the mea-
ure and the laws governing the same.
II they are within the limit, they are
compelled to register or are liable to
a prison sentence. The fact that no
man Is exempt but those who are
serving their country. The sick, the
afflicted not even prisoners are ex-
empt also that Ave days after the
registration posters will be posted in
each ward with the names Of all who
registered and any person who knows
Of any one who's name should appear
and does not, this person is to report
the same or he is liable to the same
penalty.
These points as we'll as duty to
our country make 1t very essential
that OUR young men register on June
9Th and that we who know these
things use every means to enlighten
those who may be ignorant on the
subject, and impress upon all-wiHh-
/ in the limit-the Importance of their
registration and the danger and risk
they take by avoiding the same.
] repeat that every means should
be utilized to make known these
things to our people. If the pastors
of the churches of our city should
impress this important matter upon
their congregations and the different
organizations of the city should dc
whatever they can to inform the PEG.

The SuPER-DISH.

Mythology has a story of contest
between two of the gods to bestow
upon mankind some new gift of great
est value. One gave the horse, the
other an olive tree. And the olive
was adjudged the better gift of the
two. If. on second thought, the donor
of the beast of burden had bethought
himself Of strawberry short cake.
There are two principal varieties of
strawberry short cake the good kind,
and the other kind Mostly the 9th
or kind is found at eating houses.
Not infreQuently it is met at home.
One is justified at feeling particular
and violent resentment toward the
producer of a bad short cake. Like
an ugly woman, it is a crime against
possibility, a perversiOn of the nor
NAL. 1t is human to suspect that a
SOU which can permit itself smiri
after having committed so hideous an
ofSense must be capable Of anything.
Moral prpitude is q prerequisite.
Either that or an unthinkably low
understanding of life's major and fun
daRental refinement.
At its worst, strawberry short cake
is infamy. AT its best it is Of the hea-
vens heavenly What color What form

one of the strongest men in the state

great preacher, and a wonderful pas

For sixteen years he has pastored
this great church, and his people
have learned to love him. The writer
began preaching Monday night after

soldiers of old fought until Satan had
to retreat, and we succeeded in gain

community. The mothers and fathers,
