MAKING AN EFFORT

The report of the comptroller of the state shows that the
revenues of Tennessee lack 100000 of meeting the expendi-
lures.
Such a condition Of affairs is open to but two constructions.
Either the state is a poor institution or it has been poorly con-
Quoted.
Gov, Roberts has taken the position that 1t can be placed
upon a paying basis by the application of business methods, and
by requiring an equitable distribution of tax assessments.
Some remedial legislation has already been passed BY the
legislature, and t is to be expected that when the general assem-
bly, reconvenes there will be other measures in readiness to
care for defects that have escaped detection. or which have not
been attended to properly.
Gov. Roberts was elected upon a platform of his own max
ing, in which he pledged himself to an economical administration
of the states affairs, and a determination to bring the expendi~
lures within the resources, He will achieve an unusual success
if he is able to accomplish his purpose, and if he continues to be
as active as he has been during the first few months of his
i~ncumbency even If he should fail, he will have the distinction
OF having made a valiant effort.
The nomination of William Hale Thompson as a candidate
for mayor of Chicago is a decorous manifestation of Bolshevism
and anarchy-more tolerable than the performances of the sena-

and naturally pro-German.

There never was an epoch in the

its place in the new organizations
which yesterday were considered unat-
tainable ideals. A league of nations
was until yesterday the ideal of think
ers who hated imperial brutality, but
the war showed that rapid communica-
ton enables nations to unite eco
nomicany and militarily. Only those
who are heartless or who have never
understood the powers of this war, can
doubt the blessing of a league, 1t is
an ideal, but it is an ideal for which
millions have died
The day is. coming when we VIII be
asked to join and must join the league

No Chilean patriot can view >SYithout

given to US to unite with the nations
which have suffered to preserve civili-
cation. Two of the great nations on
which rest the security of the world
have Pacific coasts, the United States
ard the British empire. We may have
full confidence that the spirit which
impels both countries, as we'll as the
perfect understanding between them, Is
another guarantee for the American
continent"
