THE GOVERNORS SON.

"A full page advertisement in
the Columbia Herald announc-
ing the candidacy Of Gov. Rye
for United States senator gives
as one of the reasons why he
should be chosen to the high po-
sition the following: "soon af-
ter the declaration of hostilities
his only son enlisted as private
in the First Tennessee Volun-
teers with the full approval of
his father. 1t might have added
that the same father very prom
pity commissioner the son a Sec
ond lieutenant and that Gen.
Tyson who was made a griga-
dier-general by Gov. Rye adj
vanced young Rye to a first
lieutenancy, and made him an
aide on the generals staff. It
is well enough, when politics
brings in boasts of sacrifice,
to have the record entirely COM
plete. Nashville Banner.
The Partisan is glad that the Ban
rer called the hand of some Of Gov
crnor Rye's political friends by ma
king the record complete regarding
the appointment of Paul as second
lieutenant by his father and subse-
quent promotion, by Gen. Tyson, an
appointe of the governor, to a first
lioutenancy.
The Partisan would not reflect ON
the patriotism of Paul Rye or any
other young man who has gone to
France to fight the Hun, but our crit
lcism is Of the manner in which he
vas SO rapidly promoted by his
father and his fathers appoinsce,
and also of the attempt now being
made to make political capital out of
the fact that he enlisted
i 1t was yery commensurate of Paul to
enlist in the army and go to fight for
his country. It was just as commen
dable of thousands of other Ten.,es.
seans-hundreds of Henry countiaus
ITO do the same thing. The othars
were just as patriotic as young Rye
could possibly be and there are not
enough lieutenant's commissions to
60 round to all Of them.
In giving his son for the safety
of Democracy, Governor Rye did no
more than thousands--yes, millions
of other fathers in the United
States have done. And the other
fathers had not the power to bestow
the gold braid of commissioned Of
ficer on the boys they gave, and are
giving, for world freedom.
The nepotism shown by Governor
Rye in commissioning his son a lieu
tenant and favoring various other Of
his relatives was bad enough. When
he or his friends, or both, attepmt to
gain political advantage from these
acts, the people are likely to take
notice and register a protest at the
ballot box. 4
1t was all right--and very COM
mendable-for Paul Rye to enlist; it
POSSIBLY may have been all right for
his father, the governor, to give him
a commission, and for Gen. Tyson,
the governors appointee, to pro-
mote him to first lieutenancy.
However, it is going little too far
When the governor and his friends
attempt to gain political advantage
end crafty political ambitions by
pointing out the fact that the COVER
ncr's son volunteered. At-least that
is what we think about it.
What do the Henry county fathers
who have given, or expect to give,
sons for the army think about it?

MARS AND STORK COMBINE
Male Predominate In Denver Since the
United States Entered the
War.

Denver, Colo.-That old man Mars,
the god of war and destruction, has a
working agreement with that humble
and beloved bird, the stork, to leave
boy babies instead of little sisters on
his visits to Denver homes since the
United States entered the struggle
against Germany, is claimed by those
who dote on vital statistics in this
city.
John w. Flintham, deputy health
commissioner of Denver, has compiled
figures showing that of the 1851 chill
dren born here from January l to
August !, of this year, 1,141 were
boys.
Several physicians maintain that
male children are more numerous dur
ing war times than at any other pc
riod, and say that during the past six
months five out of every eight children
born have been boys.
And, despite the fact that she would
prefer to see suffragists increasing,
DIR. Alice t. Moore reports that of the
last ga babies she has ushered into the
world, 48 have been boys.

INCREASE IN CRIME
Takes Amazing Leaps Since
America Entered War.
Number OF Complaints Throughout
Country Increases 20 Per Cent
In Six Months.

New York.-Since the United States
entered the war the crime percentages
In practically every city In the coun-
try have taken amazing leaps. The
number of complaints reaching va
rious detective headquarters through
out the land for the last six months
was 20 per cent higher than during the
same period year ago. The increase
has extended to practically all forms
of crime except murder and assault.
Commissioner Woods of the New
York city police department, has made
u special examination of the records
with view to answering the question
as to the effect of the war on crime
and criminals. His conclusions are as
follows:
Grimes against property have in
creased steadily since the United
States entered the war, and the rea
son may be found directly In the eco
nomic conditions which have beer
brought about by the war. Crimes OF
violence, except robbery, have tended
to decrease, but the decrease Is to be
attributed not SO much to gangs ant
the Imprisonment of the gangsters whc
formerly afflicted New York city"
Like Commissioner Woods, Distric
Attorney Swami holds that the causes
of increased crime are economic, du'
to the war.
"The explanation he says, sis ii
the increased value Of property. Silks
copper, brass, foodstuffs and almos
every commodity have such an increas
ed value and are so readily salabl'
that 1t is worth while to steal mos
anything, and the thieves act accord
ingly. With the increase In values II
corresponding increase In tempta
tion."

S45,OOO PEARLS ARE SOUGHT
Package Containing 535 Gems Stolen
From Vessel Which Recently Ar
rived at New York.

New York.-A search of New York
city pawnshops is being made by Pink"
erton detectives for $4,000 Yorth of
pearls which were stolen from a
French ship that arrived on November
20. There were 535 pearls in the miss
ing package, of which the three largest
weighed between 25 and % grains
each. The others weighed from one
to three grains each.
1t is said that the pearls were sent
by a Paris dealer to one here that to
avoid an extra rate the shipper did
not reveal to the company the char
acter of the shipment, and that 1t was
not placed in the ships strong room.

INDUSTRY RESPONDS
TO THE fuel ORDER
NATIONS MANUFACTURING IN.
DUSTRIES PRACTICALLY
SUSPENDED.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 19.-The
nations manufacturing industry in
the 2S states east of the Mississippi
river was virtually suspended in obe-
dience to the governments order for
bidding the use of fuel.
Chicago, Jan. 19.-Ten thousand
manufacturing plants closed and an
industrial army of 100000 workers
idle was Chicago's response to the
sweeping order of the national fuel
administration for the conservation
of coal.
With the lifting of the burden OF
commerce from the storm harassed
railways, great streams of coal began
moving through the traffic jams.
Although captains of industry
fought until the last minute against
DR.. Garfield's order, at the stroke OF
midnight all opposition turned to
loyal compliance and support of the
government. Only a score of viola
tions of the ukase were reported dur
ing the day. Most of these were due
to ignorance and resulted only in a
warning.
Organized efforts were being made
to care for small wage earners whose
families had been left in distress
Some plants announced that they
would pay part of the salaries of theil
workers left in enforced idleness
Others prepared to Immediately re
lieve any distress that their forces
might not be disrupted by migration
of the employees.
Meanwhile the railways concen
trated their efforts on the clearing III
of traffic jams and the priority giver
fuel is expected soon to wipe out th'
shortage.

He has sued the road for $1,000 dam

ABUSE OF PASSPORTS

which will not be returned to
him.
Yet it may be that the policy
of the government might call
for the return of the young man
for military duty. He is shown
on the passport to be but ninete-
en- years of age; but Inspector
Smart believes he IS twenty-one
at least, and as he is native of
Nogales, Arizona, he will be
subject to military duty when he
reaches twenty-one. One of his
associates informs "THE OASIS"
that be believes the young man
is about that age. If that be
the case he should be a registrant
and in the National Army, now,
or in the next increment of the
first draft which will be called
to the colors shortly. wac
There is another peculiarity in
this Moreno matter. Instead of
applying for passport to the
American authorities. as he
should have done, being a native
of Arizona, he applied for and
received his passport from the
Mexican authorities in Sonora.
The passport was vised by the
Mexican Sconsul, in Nogales.
Arizona, the American" consul in
Nogales, Sonora, and the I'M
migration authorities in Nog-
ales, Arizona. Yetnone of them
noticed that in the body of the
declaration of the applicant he
had set forth that he is an Amer
ican by birth. He should have
been refused the passport by the
Mexican authorities and referred
to the American officials. And
when presented for wise the
American officials would have
refused to do so had they noticed
the discrepancy. Inspector Smart
declares a belief that the whole
transaction has been a trick upon
the part of the young man to
evade military duty. Anyway
he is up against a complication.
He is in Mexico and cannot come
out unless granted leave to
return for military duty. And
he. is against a prosecution for
impersonating another should he
return without leave.
And the young man Perez,
whom Moreno impersonated, is
a native of Phoenix, twenty
years of age, and will be twenty
one, subject to military duty
some time during the year 1918.
