Public Sentiment Strong
For COny antion

President J. L. N 3Whorter Of the
Constitutional Convention League is
busy man these days. Correspondence
coming in from over the state makes
him an optimist as to the result of the
election on July rs. In an interview
he said:
Many Of the strC INCEST democrats
and republicans of e; st Tennessee for
the first time in generation are unit
ed in active support of highly impor-
tant public movement which relates
to state government. They are for q
Constitutional Convention, and the fact
that 1t is upon non partisan, non-fac-
tional. absolutely fair basis, free from
party intrigue, is bringing public men
and adherents of all parties together
in active advocacy of it.

should not be needed in the presence
of the urgent needs of the state.

been more sober and conservative.
"'Our Constitution is a great instru

SIKH Federal Bank District Has High

President Wilson, the cabinet and

the subscription for Liberty bonds,
which the government has issued to

The sale has been arranged through
the Federal Reserve Banks and &C

of Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana. Few sections Of the United
States have such varied resources.

the steel mills of Alabama, and from
the cotton fields of Georgia to the
rice plantations of Louisiana and the
stock raising section Of Tennessee al

Bankers of Atlanta, Birmingham, New

Jacksonville as well as in every small
town in the district agree that when
the total figures are announced that
the Sixth District will be found to
have done its full part.
But every man, woman and child
must participate. Bonds sell as low
as $50 and as high as $4,000.
Make the war loan the chief subject

PREPARE FOR GOOD HORSES
N0W--THEY WILL BEiNEEDED,

During the time when the road and
saddle horse of Tennessee was receiv,
ing the finishing touches IN his devel
Opment, there was a great change be.
ing made in the agricultural field OF
the Middle West. The land owners
there were beginning to realize the
value of more horse power on the
farm, and secured good types of draft
stations for use on their foundation
of range mares.
After getting the mares from this
sort of mating they saw that they had
an excellent incubator for high-priced
mules, if they used the proper kind
of jacks. 1t was then that theyIscoured
Tennessee and Kentucky fort Jacks of
such type and carried many/away dur,
ing the succeeding years.
From this foundation they are now
producing mules that we are buying
as weanlings and developing on our
Tennessee farms. 1t is commons knowl-
edge that the best mule oftthis history
is the highest-priced mu!e.on the mar
kets today.
Why not select draft stations OF
proper conformation ard action to
mate with Our con non native mares,
rs did the Middle yUestarners, years
ago and produce our own good animals
in numbers equal to the demand?
1t is possible tha- newer again will
there be a market equal toithat of the
last two years for the ping shorse War
demands have bee'' heavy. it isatrue
but may never recur.
Now is the time to prerare against
overstocking the country with PLUG
horse stock by taking steps to- have
something to meet the regalar de
mands of our agricultural market

The Time Is OppOrtune
(By James H. Malone.)

l have been connected with the
movement for Constitutional Conven-
ton over quarter of century. Ev-
cry time 1t has come up coterie start
the cry that this is an "inopportune
time Each time they have differ
emit reason for the cry.
This time the war as cited for an ex
euse, which is poor one. Every right
that free men enjoy has been won in
battle and times of war. The armed
barons in 1915 A. D. met King John on
the field at Runnymede and wrung
from him Magma Charta, the very
foundation stone of our rights as citi-
zens of a free republic.
The right of petition for redress of
wrongs, and the declaration of rights,
were won at the point of the sword.
The Declaration of Independence.
our palladium of liberty, was written
after war had been commenced and
blood shed on battlefelds, to wrest
from England the right to free gov
eminent in America.
Russia, the greatest country in area
and population on the globe, only
found her liberty in this great world
wide war; and even now she is fash
ioning and writing a new constitution
that will usher her into being the lar
gest republic in the history of the
world.
The States of Massachusetts, Indiana
and Arkansas will re-write their con-
stitution in the year Of our Lord 1917,
while Illinois will vote on the subject
of calling a convention.
Even Holland. that wonderful little
country ruled over by woman, and
begirt and threatened by autocratic
Germany, will this year also revise her
constitution, thus displaying the spirit
Of the lion. which Is the proud symbol
OF the manhood Of the little kingdom.

A righteous war is a great arouser
