Pitiful Pleas
Made for Dope

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Hun-
dreds of letters from persons suffer-
ing from incurable diseases and from
aged persons addicted for many years
to the use of drugs, pitiful in their
suppIications that rules governing the
sale of narcotics be modified to permit
them to make purchases, led Commits
sioner Roper today to issue instruc-
tons to collectors of internal revenue
whereby such persons may obtain
drugs on prescription by reputable
physician that the drug is needed to
maintain life.
Previous instructions had been that
persons prescribing, selling or obtain
ing drugs merely to satisfy the crav-
ing of drug addict should be re-
garded as violating the law.
Collectors were warned by Mr.. Rop-
er to exercise every reasonable pre-
caution to provide the aged and in
firm from becoming the innocent
means whereby unauthorized persons
might engage in Illicit traffic in mar
cotics.

WILL CREENEVILLE HAVE A
PARK?

There has been much said on the
streets; many statements published
about the park. Something's that are
said, are false. Those false state
ments are originated by those non
patriotic people who oppose all prog
ress and aid in nothing. Neither they
nor their ancestors, so far as known
to history or fame, ever marched in
line of battle; ever died for country
of flag, or ever enjoyed the free air
of liberty. Let those persons and
their false statements alone. They
will die with what is known as SEN
timental rot. The quicker their car
casses fertilize the earth, the better
for humanity; the better for the coun-
try and the better for the growth of
the tree of liberty. Of course these
growing critics have had no military
service to their country, neither di-
rectly by personal service nor by the
blood of ancestral heroes, or by col
lateral kindred; by the courageous
blood and life of cousin, uncle, nor by
remote kindred. These persons in
the main will oppose "a National Sol
diers' Memorial Park" But this me-
mortal park is to be erected in honor
of the heroes that Greene county has
furnished in all wars since it was des-
ignated Greene county, Tennessee.
Yes, and even before it became
Greene county. 1t was from this
border land, it was from on these hills
that grew the corn, which was parch-
ed for the rations of the peerless he
roes who redezvoused at Sycamore
Shoals on the Wautauga and marched
through the painless mountains to
Kings Mountain and won the battle
that turned the tide of the American
Revolution, which forced the surren-
der of the British at Yorktown on
the 18th day of October, 1881.
Without argument or historical
record, it will be reckoned as self
evident that any farmer, merchant,
hotel keeper, or business man of
Greeneville or Greene county who OPP
poses the erection of this soldiers
memorial park, has no ancestral blood
in his veins TO be honored by the
building of soldiers memorial park
in the town of Greeneville.
Be it remembered that this park il
erected in memory and in honor OF
the heroes from Greene county, who
participated in all wars of the Amer
lean Union from the date of the Dec
laration of independence to the goot
year of 1919. 1t is a glorious record
1t stands matchless and unrivaled il
the annals of time.
There will be no trouble to ge
money for this noble enterprise.
1t will be place where all the cit
liens of Greene county can meet ant
feel at home. 1t will invigorate tn
speed of the aged, brighten the hop
of the Responding, inspire the sou
of the youth, and make eloquent tn
tongue of the orator. 1t will add
new impulse to the heart of the pa
triot as he views the flag of his cour
try kissing the pure air of libert
above the ons and daughters of thos
brave American patriots, who o
thousands of great battle fields, bar
tiled her ample folds with the
hearts last drop of patriotic blood,
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-08-07

O, it will be delight to the sons
and daughters of Greene county's
transcendent warriors to aid in per-
petuating the deeds and fame of their
grand, noble, matchless ancestry, that
builded in the great American wilder
ness the best, the freest, the grand
est government of earth-the United
States of Aemrica.
Of course we will have money
enough to pay off the initial cost OF
the land-four and one-half acres,
in the very center of the town. 1t is
a location unsurpassed. 1t is easy OF
access by all modes of transportation.
1t is near in town, where the foot
man, charioteer, the passenger from
the palace car, the angels of the air
plane, or the "happy John" from the
rural OK cart off the mountain-it is
here where we can all meet our
friends in public. 1t is here we will
have fountains of pure water to Stake
our thirst and free troughs of water
for all our stock. Easy and comforta-
BILE seats upon which to rest, walks
and shade trees unsurpassed, save by
the sorrowful remembrance of the
Garden of Eden, whence our far
away ancestry was driven for dis
obedience But let us forget that sad
catastrophe of our ancestral defeats
and regale ourselves in the stories
of riding around the moon in an air
plane, or of eating roastingears on
the spots of the sun, or of many late
events that make us hopeful yet of
the human race.
Let us all talk park--our park
in honor of our kindred dead who
died on the summit of Kings Noun
tain, fighting Ferguson, or of our
sweet, noble boys who went up to
Heavens pearly gatee from the smoke
of battle on Europe's bloodiest fields.
1t will delight these noble, brave
heroes from Greene county as they
gaze down on us from the windows of
Paradise and realize that they are
still loved and held in sweet remem.
brance on earth. They will be de.
lighted and will swell the charms of
Paradise with a new hallelujah whose
echo will be heard throughout the
habitable universe.
Yes, indeed, let US sons and daugh
ters of our heroic ancestors take a
part in building this park, to be the
delightful spot of Greene county
Let us parents, who have been bereft
by the cruelties of war of our brave
noble sons, aid in making sweet the
remembrance of such grand patriots
now to be embalmed in our memor!
forever, as the heroes or the "World
Wide War"
The man of means, let him give
freely, and the poor like the widow
who gave her two mites, was honoreC
more than other givers spoken of il
the history of man.
Let us talk; let us speak, and lie
US determine to build that lofty mon
ument in the park.
Let him who opposes be boy-cotte,
now and forever, and let him be con
. sidered as one of that putrid class 0
citizens who enjoys liberty he neve
I bought and paid for. He belongs t
, the beggar element of mankind.
This will be Greene county's mont
= ment to the heroes of Greene count!

 IS THIS FELLOW

Denton vane, one of those pro- ducts of the film fame whose fate is to be a. Lothario, a Don Juan and an all round woman killer suffered a mortal wound to the soul the other day at the Brooklyn studio of Vita graph.
 Vane in real life is not such a bad chap, and his worst enemies have got to admit that he knows how to wear his clothes
 His part in The Bramble Bush just being completed with Miss Cor inne Griffith, is that of the worth less sweetheart of Dana Lloyd, friend of the leading character.
 Nane came walking onto the set for one of the scenes, dressed like a million dollars. He had on pearl silk trousers. a silk hat and spats and carried a cane. He wore @. diamond big enough to flag a train.
 Call the cops" shouted Tom TerS riss. the director. He stepped to Vane with a frightened look. Its too much" he said. Go out and lend that makeup to a dozen millionaires then come back dressed like a human being. You're not supposed to think enough of this girl to blind every- body" So Vane had to change his makeup, modify and edit it down to an ordinary fashion plate.

DESERTION OF
 DOUGLAS KILLS
 GIANTS CHANCE

New York, Aug. 23.-The untimely detection of Phil Douglas, upon whom John McGraw was counting in the ul- timate dash down the homestretch caps the melancholy climax for the Giants and practically wrecks what ever lingering chance they carried for the title.
 Furthermore, it gives Mc'Graw's critics an opportunity to assert he was euchered in the deal by which he gave Davey Robertson fol rse pig pitcher It is assumed Fred Mitchell may not have known whether or not Shufflin' Phil still was given to pastin1fng along the primrose trail
 But certainly McGraw is not to blame for Douglas latest outbreak The Giant leader gave him every op- portunity to make good i'll New York, and if Douglas has grasped the chance instead of booting it he doubt less would have been a fixture with the club next season. Now, however he has been placed on the ineligible list and will be lucky indeed to get off of it.
 That Douglas should have thrown down McGraw and his teammates at a time when every member of the club is fighting tooth and nail to keep in the pennant race is to be regrett- ed.
 Although the Giants have fallen under hostile bombardment and have only @ remote chance for the flag, the morale of the club is unshaken. Never has the team shown better spirit than today with the route black with disappointment Fletcher has played every game with a lame leg
 
 Fred Toney has responded when call ed upon despite illness of more than a month. But Douglas was the weak link and here came the break
 The case of Douglas is no state se- cret in balldom. This is not the first time he has frollicked along the gild- ed course. Cincinnati knew him as a member of the Reds as one of its most eccentric citizens. Brooklyn, too found him in hot water of more than one jam. Chicago, too, had cause for complaint although it is matter of record that Douglas had settled down somewhat when he jonied the Cubs. For a time he pitched his so-called head off for Fred Mitchell. When Shufflin' Phil joined the Giants he asserted he intended to put l forth every effort to help McGraw tc land a pennant. He declared it had long been his ambition to play with a championship club and requested Me Graw to pitch him as frequently as possible He did well enough when called upon, but showed nothing over which fandom could wax enthusiastic McGraw is through with Douglas Discipline must be enforced on the club now more than ever. The Giants are stiT fin the fight for the flag anC McGraw will permit no let-up-

Savage musical comedy called Head Over Heels" Its piquant story by Edgar Allan Woolf and it's music by the favorite Jerome Kern tell of the arrival in this country of q little girl acrobat and her troupe of Italian gymnasts, and 1t is told that her love affairs in the story keep her as nearly upset as do some of her acrobatic stunts in the action of the piece.
