The state department at Washing
ton has discredited the report as
coming from the department, but
advanced the information that cor
dependence of this kind "may be
gong on between these foreign
ounties and members of the U. S.
Senate interested in the foreign pol
cy of President Elect Harding.
1t is hard to believe that Mr.
"a ding or his supporters in the
Senate would be guilty of taking
ny steps to cooperate on even the
Japanese question, with foreign
ounties at this time. The present
understanding between the United
States and Japan on the California
"a ter would not warrant such ca
on nor would Mr.. Harding attempt
in any way to embarass the present
administration in this matter.
! IS generally understood that the
japanese immigration question is
serious to California, but when the
United States undertakes to curtail
immigration to our shores it will be
without the help, sanction or dicta-
ton of either England, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand or South Afri-
ca, to our knowledge, all subjects OF
Great Britain.

ANOTHER MILESTONE

At twelve o'clock, midnight, Fri
day, Dec. 81, the Christian world
will welcome into existence a new
era-the new year 1921.
To the people of the United States
this new year holds in stock many
possibilities. 1t will not only mark
the new period of the worlds exist
ence but will hold in store new and
we hope, a brighter outlook for the
American Nation.
The year 1921 will long be remem-
bered as one of the greatest year
in the country's history. 1t WI
mark the coming of new freedom
the birth of a national policy Which
will proclaim again to the world the
independence of American though
the democratic principles OF Ameri-
can government.
During this new year too, this
great commonwealth will undergo
the greatest reconstruction since
the days of the late Civil War.
All business will be reconstructed
wages and prices will be brought to
q common level and the ambition OF
the new government will be to furth-
er the ends of the pursuit OF hap
piness. J..
: With these prospects in view the
whole system of things will change
with the coming of the new year:
Old accounts and old methods will
he discarded. A new slate Will be
inaugurated which will aim to
again establish a future based on
sanity and square dealing.

THAT HIGHWAY PROBLEM

1t is somewhat amusing to VII
ness the greed with which certain
class of political flies buzz around
a new found tasty morsel.
For many years past the state OF
Minnesota has suffered and suffered
greatly for the want of adequate
highways-a state wide system OF
trunk roadways such as might be
expected of commonwealth OF the
standard of Minnesota.
Very soon after it was known that
the Babcock plan for better high
WAYS had been adopted in Minnie
sofa propaganda began to be clrcu-
lated and the suggestion made that
the highway commission should con-
s;st of not less than three men nor
more than seven.
If this plan is adopted the com,
missioners are apt to be appointed
because of their ability as politicians
rather than for their knowledge OF
country highways and their require
ments.
The Herald is opposed to an en-
Iarged commission. Mr.. Babcock
the present commissioner, has maze
a study of highways in various com
monwealths and his work and VISION
should not be hampered. Hold him
responsible for the administrator
of the plan. If he does not denver
tho GOODS remove him, but do no,
enlarge the commission making II
possible to 'pass the buck on to the
other fellow when criticism starts.
During the past eight years the
American people have found it very
exnensiveI to have incompetent pollt
-;cal nets rafting around in big men
iobs It is to be hoped the forth.
coming Minnesota legislature VII

CANADA is WORRIED

Canada is worried over the pro-
posed new tariff laws of the United
States.
Under the present conditions Can
ada growers can ship wheat in
to the United States, sell it 10 cents
under the price of wheat grown in
this country pay their exchange and
still break even with the American
farmer.
This condition is also true in re-
spect to the cattle market.
With a situation of this kind con-
fronting the American farmer it is
easy to understand something of the
deplorable circumstances which are
lust now confronting the agricultur-
aIist of the United States. The new
Republican tariff laws will remedy
this condition in part-they will at
least enable the man farming under
the American flag to compete on a
solid footing with his brother to the
north operating under the BRITISH
flag.
= Statistics show that much OF the
Canadian wheat is disposed of in the
United States. There is practicaliy
no English market for this commo-
dity as England herself controls the
wheat market of India.
If the government of the Uniteo
States is in earnest in it's endeavol
to relieve the American farmer, II
can overcome one of its greatest
commercial difficulties by resortne
to the tariff program proposed o!
the new Republican administration.

To Patrons of the Gibbs Line.

There is only one Taxi Line that
runs from Gibbs to Union City the
year around, and that is the John
ton Transfer Co. We have been
running this line the last five or six
years, and we are the only line that
runs thru the winter season when
the roads are bad.
AS soon as the weather opens up
in the spring and the roads get dry,
we have competition, but they will
not run at any price when the roads
are bad. We have never raised our
price except the war tax of five cents.
The line is always run at loss thru
the winter, and especially thru the
past winter it was run at an enor-
nous loss. In view of these facts
we feel that we are entitled to the
business during the summer.
We are the only line that runs
from the Palace Hotel. When get
ting off the train at Gibbs, please
take time and get in our cars. We
will always have cars enough to
take care of the trade, and will
greatly appreciate your patronage.

Swat the Rooster Campaign Starts.

Every year, thousands of dollars
worth of eggs are spoiled because
people who raise poultry persist in
selling fertile eggs. After the hatch
ing season is over the ROSTERS should
be penned or killed and only only
infertile eggs put on the market.
This practice in removing the rooster
will in no way decrease the amount
of eggs produced by the flock of hens.
Wednesday and Thursday, May 5
and 6, have been designated as
swat the rooster days in Tennessee.
Sunday, May 8, has been named as
day for ROSTERS to be served as a
part of the Sunday dinner in the
homes and on the hotel tables.
Our State poultry specialist is
asking every one to join in this cam
paign.

Matinee Music Club.

Although the close of the club
season is near at hand the interest
of the members is by no means at a
low ebb. This encouraging condition
was happily emphasized at the
stated meeting of the club with Mrs.
C. c. Conn, Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Willie Belle Mayes president,
presided. During the BUSINESS ses-
sion the delegates to the State Fed
Grafton of Music Clubs, which con-
venes in Memphis. May Gil, were
elected, the pleasure of the club as
to representatives being Miss Mayes
and Mrs. j. r. Cunningham. While
in Memphis the delegates to the
session of the federation will be the
guests of the Beethoven Club, the
see Federation.
A careful survey of the lesson
topic, Representative Music" led
by Miss Edith Quinn, brought out
many interesting as. we'll as origi-
nal thoughts on the subject.
LESSON DISCUSSION.
Works of musical art are not put
together in accordance with mathE
ematical formulas-they come from
life and they share the stirring un-
expectedness of life, hence all music
in it's broadcast sense is representa-
tive, yet analyze the different forms
of musical construction, and the alb
stract and concrete are found to ex-
list. One cannot associate a major
scale or an Unconditional etude or
fugue with Sidney Smiths "Moun-
tain Stream" or Edward MacDow-
ellis ITO Wild Rose" and fail to
grasp the keen significance of the
abstract and the concrete or illustra-
tive in music. The one-abstruse,
unexpresive, the other-full of life
and loneliness. The dainty grace of
the pink-petaled rose or the dash
ing force of a mountain stream as
conceived in the imagery of the COM
poser are only two. examples among
many of the characterizing nature
of representative music True char
acterization then is the distinguish
ing element that marks the repre-
sentative work in the vast catalogue
of musical composition. 1t may be
some glorious aspect of nature,
moonlight on still water, stormy
sea, winds chanting their monoto-
nous song, whatever the subject, a
musical representation creates two
fold pleasure in the mind of the mu-
sic lover-the pleasure in beautiful
sound and the pleasure or the in
ward eye or the memory of some
thing known and loved Represent
alive music is mighty intensifier
of emotions and moods. 1t is the one
medium that stimulates and inspires,
that creates peace and good will and
makes the whole world kin.
