DIR. AYRES

Education lost a strong champion in the death of DR.. Brown
Ayres, president OF the University of Tennessee. 3
For IS years DR., Ayres has struggled with the legislatures
for adequate appropriations for the state institutions, and, in
spite Of d~isappontments and reverses, was never discouraged,
He overcame all manner OF obstacles in his fight for a bet
ter opportunity for the boys and girls of the state, and lived to
see the cause for which he abored so long become the chief con-
sideratior of those with the best interests of the state at heart,
As the head of the states first educational institution, DR..
Ayres naturally became the leader in the state for the cause OF
education, and to him, perhaps more than to any other one man,
belongs the credit for the rapid strides that have been made
along that line within the past IS years. "
The medical and dental departments Of the university in
Memphis are strong testimonials to the organizing ability Of
DR.. Ayres. He found here a proposition that would have de-
tered a more timid spirit, but he never tagged in his determi
nation to give to Tennessee and to Memphis schools that would
be a credit to the university and have a standing at the fore
front with other schools engaged in the same work,
DR., Ayres was a ripe scholar, genial, democratic, and be
loved by all who knew him. 1t will be difficult to find a mar
to fill the place he made for himself in the cause of education.

We can only vaguely surmise what severe punishment the
New York World will advocate for the South since the New
York assembly has ratified the constitutional prohibition
amendment. The World has insisted that the South was re-
sponsible for prohibition and the ratification of the amendment
by the different legislatures. As a penalty for the shame Of
sobrety which IT charged the South with attempting to foist
upon the nation, the World advocates the abolition Of separate
coaches for the races, the strict application of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments, and the reduction Of Southern rep
resentation in the congress. The Northern Democrats will have
nothing more to do with Southern Democrats, the World says,
since they have been shown to be enemies Of alcoholism. II the
World insists upon the establishment Of party lines on the
basis Of friendship and ennty for liquor, crime and poverty, it
is welcome to do so, and even il the Northern Democrat is
as the World claims, the champion OF liquor, the South vii"
continue to be in the saddle with the respectable Republicans
OF the North and both Democrats and Republicans of the West
The Worlds argument is patiently false, however, as shown by
the action OF the New York assembly.
