VATICAN REFUSES TO JOIN IN
UNITY OF ALL CHURCHES

Rome, April 13.- 1t is stated senioficial-
ly on behalf of the vatican that the HOLY
See has not given its adherence to the pan
Christian congress which it is proposed to
hold shortly, as the Catholic church. con-
slderlng her dogmatic character, could not
join in the congress on an equal footing.
The feeling of the vatican, says the semi
official expression is that all other christian
denominations seeded from the Roman
church, which descends directly from
Christ, and that therefore Rome cannot 90
to them, it being for them to return to her
BOSOM
The pope, the expression adds, is ready
to receive representatives of dissident
churches with open arms, as the Roman
church has always longed for the unifca-
ton of all christian religions. Pope Leo
XIII, it is pointed out, was deeply interes
ted in the question and wrote two famous
encyl1cals on the subject of unifcation of
the christian churches.
The above foreign dispatch appeared in
the Chicago Tribune Of April IA.
1t is a well-known fact to all observant
students of the Word of God and of cur
rent events, that the vatican has taken 4
receptive attitude and is simply waiting
while the so-called Protestant churchmen
effect their world-federated church union
and then proceed to drop the whole thing
IN the pope's lap, at WHICH time they will
ask him to take the supreme headship or
complete control

Local Rates
a Unreasonable

In the complaint of the Cotton
Manufacturers Association of South
Carolina against the Carolina, Clinch-
feld and Ohio and other carriers, the
Interstate Commerce Commission held
yesterday that rates on bituminou'
coal in carloads from the Appalachian
and Dante districts in Virginia to
Spartanburg and other points in
South Carolina were unreasonable in
1918 to the extent that they exceeded
rates contemporaneously in effect
from the Coal Creek district of Ten
nessee.
The complainant's members viii be
swarded reparation when proof is pre-
sented of transportation charges paid
by them.

Mexican Border
Still Very Wet

LAREDO, Tex, Aug 12.-(By United
Press. Enforcement Of nationwide
prohibition may offer hard problem
to peace officers in the inland states
but their job is sinecure to that OF
federal officials trying to keep the
American side of the MEXICAN border
dry.
!. Prohibition in the United States has
offered a means of wealth to hundreds
of adyentursome spirits along the Rio
Grande and booze smuggling is being
made fine art.
All the fiery Mexican drinks--mes-
cal, aguardiente and tequila---sell
readily in the states and smuggling is
comparatively easy since the twelve
hundred odd miles of border generally
is sparsely setteld and patrolled only
by small military units.
The willy Mexican, trailing his mes
cal in bladders, hog skins and goat
skins, wades the Rio Grande at night
disposes of his wares and is back ir
Mexico again long before the dawn
When the mescal lacks punch, ne
spikes it with red pepper, onions OF
drugs and the result is a Knockout
which backs Jack Dempsey's upper
cuts in the shade.
Spiked soda water is another means
of avoiding detection. Recently 9
Mexican, with a cargo of apparently
harmless, pink, soda-water, was stop
ped by customs agents, who sampled
his wares. The soda water was pink
in appearance only. It's kick beat any
American "Red Eye" known.
In one week recently, in the towr
of Alice, Jim Wells County, customs
agents found more than 300 quarts
Of mescal.

Distressing
Accident to Boy

BEULAH, Tenn, Aug. 12.-I. E.
Broyles, Jr., the little six-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. l. E. Broyles, of Beu-
lah, Greene county, met with very
painful and distressing accident Sat
urday at his home. The little fellow
had climbed on the rear of an auto
mobile while it was in the garage and
his father was taking it out, and in
doing so, had to back the car. The
child fell off in some way and two
wheels passed over his legs above the
knees, breaking both of them. He
was given immediate medical atten-
ton, and it is thought he will re-
cover without being seriously Grip
pied. e +s7
The child's father didn't know that
he was on the car or near it, until
the child cried out after being run
over.

Senators Cut
Drastic Features
Out of House Bill

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-With
many of its drastic features modified,
the House prohibition enforcement
bill was reported to the eSnate Judi
ciary Committee today by the sub
committee which has been revising it.
The Senate subcommittee went
over the bill with great thoroughness,
revising the more extreme clauses.
Property Feature Revised.
The first modification by the Sen
ate committee was the revision Of the
House provision making it misde-
meanor for a person to allow his
property to be used il he has treason
to believe' it is being used in viola
tion of the war prohibition act
The Senate requires that person
have knowledge" of the illegal use
of his property before he can be held
liable. It was feared that over-zeal-
GUS enforcement agents might use
this provision unfairly. The Sen
ate also cut down bond necessary by
requiring $1,000 or less instead Of
the full value Of the property.
Near beers were. given new lease
on life by the Senate Committee,
which allows dealcoholized kline and
brewed drinks if they contain less
than one-half of one per cent alcohol
and are not designated as "beer, ale
or porter" The Anti-Saloon League
feared this might make it easy to
evade the dry laws and sought to pro-
hibit all beverages which resembled
lintoxicants.
Will Be Literally Construed.
One provision forbidding manufac-
ture, sale and transportation of intox-
icating liquor is stricken out and the
following substituted: "All provis-
ions Of this act shall be literally con-
strued to the end that the use of in
toxicating liquor as a beverage may
be prevented; provided, that nothing
in this act shall prohibit the purchase
and sale of warehouse receipts cov-
ering distilled spirits on deposit in
general or distillery bonded ware
houses, and no special tax liability
shall attach to the business Of pur-
chasing and selling such warehouse
receipts"
the This. clause wasyinserted to safe
guard the 6O,OO0,OO05Q gallons Of
whiskey in bond.

Congress Takes Up
Number of Measures
to Reduce Cost of Living
Letter to the Editor;
Reply" Three Stars

Johnson City, Tenn, Aug. 8, 1919.
Mr.. w. R. Lyon,
Editor The Sun,
Greeneville, Tennessee.
Dear Sir:-
In your issue for July Goth an un-
signed article on "The Schools" ap-
peared in The Sun that contained
about as much error and misstate-
ment as could be crowded into an
article of that length. call your
attention to a few of the misstate-
ments:
'In the school law of Tennessee, it
is ordered that no person may teach
common school, except those who
are financially able to take course
and grading at some so-called normal. "
This is not true. Any one may teach
common school who can take an
elementary examination on the COM
mon school branches, making an av-
erage grade of rs and not falling be-
low 609in any one subject. A tenn
porary license, good for one year,
will be issued to anyone who can
take an examination on the elemen-
tary branches, making an average
grade of 65 and not falling below so
in any one subject. While this stand
ard is entirely too low, nevertheless
it is the law and is being observed.
If high school graduates are not able
to take such elementary examination
they should not be permitted to teach.
A certificate to teach should not be
issued as personal favor to anyone.
"The state does not refuse to IL
cense those who comply with the very
reasonable requirements for an ex-
animation in the elementary school
subjects. The law does not require
anyone to attend the normal school
in order to receive a teachers license,
The normal school has no monopoly
in the matter of teacher certifcation,
and wants no special privileges OF
favors.
"At the last state examination 1872
applicants in attendance at our sum.
mer term, took the examination, 70
making passing grades and receiving
certificates. The others failed. The
examination was conducted on ques-
tions prepared by the State Depart.
ment of Education and the papers
were graded in Nashville by the State
Grading Committee.
"Did you ever stop to think that g
teacher who knows little can teacl
a child who knows. nothing at all
This statement disqualifes the wit
ness. There is no child in Greene
county who knows nothing at all. 4
great many of them know nearly a
much as some Of those who woul'
attempt to teach them without meet
| ing legal requirements for certifica
ltion. Until little children are givel
thoroughly educated and traine
teachers the educational progress o
the state will be unsatisfactory |
is the practice of just such ignoran
and false doctrine as announced b
your correspondent that has delaye
the coming of a better day educa
tionally. One is forced to conclud
that the author of the article in que'
ton is prejudiced person, incapabl
of understanding school condition
and needs 1t is unfortunate ths
such people are permitted to expos
their views to the public. ndH
