NO CONVENTION.

There will be no constitutional con.
vention held in Tennessee for two
years at least and the people are to
be congratulated upon the wisdom of
their decision Three times within
the past three years the proposal to
hold a convention has been voted
down Surely the next Legislature

sions of the people and not again in
cur the expense of another election.
The vote in 1917 should have been a
sufficient evidence of the determna-
ton of the electors of Tennessee to
hold to what they have and not risk
the special interests and the politi-
clans to 90 a constitution making in
these days of unrest and discomfort.
The people themselves by their
failure to vote at all furnished the
most powerful argument against call
ing a convention. Not less than nine
tenths of the qualified electors of the
state did not care enough about any
constitution at all even to go to the
polls and cast a vote The aggregate
poll Of the state was the smallest in
more than four decades. The people
are so absorbed in questions affecting
the high cost of living" the move

and social structure of the country
and the effort to solve problems with

CIVILIZATION.

This is civilized country. We
boast of our civilization. We boast
that in this country every man is
guaranteed the rights of life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness with pro-
tecticn provided by our state and ma
tional governments.
Here are few recent examples of
our civilization taken from the cur
rent events of Tennessee:
One of the most important passen-
ger trains in the South is held up by
robbers within 10 miles Of the county
seat of a county that is inhabited by
as highly civilized people as can be
found in America, descendants of the
best blood of pioneer America, people
with scarcely trace Of any blood
save that of the Anglo-Saxon. The
officers of the law are at the scene
Of the robbery and at work on the
case in q few hours, but more than
two weeks have passed and the rob
bers are as free as if they had made
their bandit raid on a western plain
far from the danger of capture by the
protectors of the peoples rights.
A prominent attorney residing in
the capital of the state is murdered in
his automobile within half mile Of
his residence in an exclusive residen-
tial park and his body thrown into a
creek while his car stood with lights
burning by the roadside Sc hours be
fore it was noticed or a search made
for the missing man. More than a
week has passed and his murderers
arc as far from capture az if they had
committed their foul deed in Mexico.
Three girls under Is years old are
outraged in one of the states LARGEST

are unable to cope with the renegades

ATTITUDE oF FARMERS.

1t is to be hoped that the reSclu-
lions adopted at the mass meeting o.
the farmers of Maury county last Mon
day represent the sentiments general
ly of the farmers of the nation. In
the remedies outlined in these rcsou-
ions lie the only hope of escape from
present conditions. The farmers OF
Maury county took high and patriotic
ground. Asking no special favors OF
government insisting upon a fair deal
for all classes of the population, stand

are altogether consistent and well
within their rights in insisting that
other classes of workers do likewise
The farmers of this county are go
ing to face all the adverse conditions
courageously. They are not going TO
strike, to take any steps to reduce
production or seek any favors as q
class. II other elements OF society
would take the same attitude the prob

cans so long as it insists that the
Stacker and the incompetent worker
shall be paid as much as the fairmind-
ed worker who does his level best all
the time. 1t must absolutely reject
the unwholesome idea that leisure
rather than continued on steady work
should be the main object of life. The
happiest people, the people who get
most out of life for themselves and
who do most for their fellow men are
the people who keep busy all the time.
They have real mission in life and
they do their best all the time to per-
form that mission
Too many farmers complain at the
returns they receive from their farm
ing operations who are largely at
fault They do not work consistently
all the year. The men who have been
successful on the farm. like the men
who have been successful in the cit
les in whatever line of activity they
have engaged. are the men who have
consistently kept at work, who have
not tried to live year on the labor of
q few months.
What the world needs now, as the
Maury county farmers correctly de
clared, is more production. We can
only have an increase in the prOduc-
ton of commodities through an in

Fruit and vegetables may be high

The purpose Of this work is to open
the way to a fair general compre-
hensfon of those basic facts and
theories upon which the cost Of liv-
ing rests. The study is, in effect,
discussion Of tho relationship exist
ing between money and prices, with
enough Of the essential nature and

it Is possible this Is concrete study.

past seventy years certain periods
and points that, out Of practical life,
objectify an otherwise abstract dis
cussion. BY way Of this concrete
handling of living costs the theory
of values is set forth. The principles
controlling these are defined as well.
1t is the objective and practical
quality Of this investigation that
constitutes it's prime excellence. This
and the high source Of learning from
which 1t is drawn, coupled with a
simple and untechnical presentation,

Intelligent reader.

"PREP" SCHOOLS ABOLISHED

At a recent joint meeting of the
Board of Education of the Tempe
Normal School of Arizona and the
Northen Arizona Normal steps were
taken, which will be of greatest i'm
portance to parents contemplating
sending their children to the Normal
School.
After August Is, 1919, no students
will be admitted to either state
normal school until they have COM
pleted one year of high school WORK,
and after August Is, 1920, it will be
necessary that they have two years
of high school preparation, before en-
trance into either normal school.
This action was taken after care
full consideration by the Boards of
Education and the State Board. 1t
has been recommended several times
by the state legislature but was post
poned from year to year on account
of the scarcity of high schools In the
state. 1t is now believed that the
high schools are so numerous and
that the special provision for estab-
fishing two year high school courses
in rural communities will adequately
provide for at least two years of high
school work. 1t was necessary, how
ever, to drop one year at time in
order that no injustice might be done
to students who are now attending
either one of the state normal schools.
