The Author Of the Webb Kenyon Law

/
The momentous decision Of the Fed.
eral Supreme Court, upholding the
Webb-Kenyon act, which enables a
state to forbid liquors coming over its
borders, should remind the reader that
the author of this law was "Sawney'
Webb, Of Bell Buckle, Tenn, who got
into the United States Senate few
weeks by accident. There was a short,
unexpired vacancy to I'LL from the
State Of Tennessee--so short indeed
tina. there H:,s practically no q ,mand
for it. "Old Sawney" Webb, the head
of the Webb school at Bell Buckle. was
given the appointment in compliment
to his sterling qualities and to please
his many old students over the state,
who wanted to see the old man hon
ored. In Difference to their wishes, he
was appointed to fill out this short
term of a few weeks. 1t was not
thought he could do anything, at least
anything of any consequence. But dur
ing those few weeks in the Senate,
"Old Sawney" made an impression at
Washington, as he had been making it
for thirty years at Bell Buckle.
1t is well to reflect, too, that most
of the great political things done in
this and other countries are done by
men who secure the opportunity by
accident. 1t is not ordinarily intended
that men of real brains and charac-
ter should occupy such positions, else
how could the insincere, Anticipated
politicians be so richly rewarded with |
honors and emoluments, and how could |
the ordinary damphools, whose duty
it is to bring burdensome taxation
upon themselves by voting to maintain
these jackasses in Office, carry out the
plan of misgovernment and
public inefficiency?
1t may do the average voter good
to reflect that the appointment of
'Sawney" Webb to the Senate was an
accident and by no design at all of the
people of Tennessee. Far, very far,
indeed, was it from their intention to
break the uniform rule of reserving
public honors and emoluments for in
and insincere politicians

Senator Williams "Rubicon."

The announcement made by John
Sharp Williams that he "has crossed
the Rubicon and will never again be
candidate for any Office" has sad
refrain to it. 1t shows that Senator
Williams realizes, as we all should, that
Father Time marches with steady
tread, and halts not on his way. And
yet, if Senator Williams is blessed
with long life and good health he will
not be too old to stand for the Senate
six years from now. He was born in
1854. When the term to which he
stands elected expires six years from
next March, he will be SO years old.
He will be ripe in years, but he will
also be ripe in wisdom and experience.
and might render better service to his
state and country than a younger man.
If he thinks he has crossed the Rubi-
con, we move at least that he does not
burn the bridge behind him.-Hatties-

had their meeting already-but before
it was over, the membership Of all the
churches was aroused and interested,
and the churches were drawn together
in Christian fellowship, as perhaps
they have never been before. Mr..
Guile is indeed "Bible Teacher Evan.

the Word, bringing from that treasure
house of the "unsearchable riches"
things new and old. His teaching is
winsome and attractive, we'll balanced
