The Requirements Of Law and orde


The requirements of law and or
der should be just as applicable to
Senator Newberry or Henry Ford as
to the humblest individual. Because
there may be controversy between
the pot and the kettle is no reason
for neglecting precautions against
shut. That Mr.. Newberry was the
instrumentality for keeping out of
the Senate a man of such unfitness
as Mr.. Ford showed himself to be;
that one man commanding wealth
was thought to be tho only preyen-
tive for another man Of wealth-a
sort of er-irritant-may not be
offered as an excuse for violating the
law. and would not be a good ex-
cuse for violating the moral law,
anyway.
The pretext that the decision OF
the jury in the Newberry case was
obtained through the power Of the
Democratic administration is fal
from plausible; indeed We do not be-
iieve it worthy Of the slightest cred
ence. Nor do we believe that either
Democratic or Republican influences
may affect the decision on the appea
to the supreme court. If Newberrs
gets clear we believe it will be be-
cause the law intended to prevent
the lavish use Of money in prima-
ries had failed in some particular te
do that for which it was passed.
Such confidence in our courts
must not be lost; it is to our form
of government what the life preserv.
CT is to one who otherwise canno,
float. With a debauched judiciar.
the fate Of Russia applied to the
United States could not be, in the
nature of things, far distant.
Less serious, but of suff1cien.

Chaos

There is chaos in Germany. There
is chaos OF another kind in Wash
ington, according to observers in
some Of the European capitals. The
wrangle over the peace treaty has
gone on and on with Europeans
hoping. against hope perhaps. that
the Senate would finally ratify, and
they have preserved a semblance of
patience with the senatorial wind
TANNERS. Now. the treaty has not
been ratified, and while in a sense
the position Of the United States is
definitely known, in the sense of its
bearing on the settlement of Euro
pean questions and problems it is no
more definite than before. The Unit
ed States is still technically at war
with Germany. II President Wilson
decides to make a separate peace
and remove the United States from
the field Of European diplomacy and
mulate Il policy Of their own and act
on it. If he decides to make a tenn
porary peace with Germany and at
the same time leave the way open
for the United States to enter the
League of Nations, the position Of
this country will continue to be as
it has been: in European affairs but
not Of them.
Another source OF annoyance to
diplomatic intercourse between this
headless state department. Passports
could not be issued as there was no
body with authority to sign them, or
with authority to do anything else
Diplomats who wished to have their
affairs put before the President have
been obliged to do so in writing, it
being impossible to communicate
with a secretary of state as interme-
diary or to see the President person
ally. AS any written communica-
ton is considered Of greater impor.
lance than an oral conversation en-
the subject. diplomats have been put
to much inconvenience in reducing
All they have to say to carefully for
mulated documents.
The Adriatic question which has
been the subject Of much correspon-
dence between Mr.. Wilson and
Europe has been laid aside by the
Italian premier as too hopeless for
further consideration at this time.
Ind he has turned the attention Of
his government to other matters.
The allied council in London is
waiting Mr.. Wilson's views on their
proposals regarding Turkey and at
any moment the German situation
may require quick action.
The chaotic situation at Washing
ton is the amazement of Europe and
the League OF Nations is likened
abroad to motor car with fiat tires.

NOAH CO0PERS PURI-
TANICAL SABBATH.

Noah w. Cooper, Nashville law
yer and licensed Methodist preacher,
has started the bah rolling toward 4
Sabbath day when we win have no
newspaper, no trains running, no
postoffices open, no ordinary avo-
cation" going on--which, of course,
would include the the printing of the
papers. When that day comes, our
sweet girls can not go to soda "joints"
and "wet their whistles" between
Sunday School and preaching. After
Sunday School and eating a cold din
ner, we can just sit at home-or per-
chance, take a walk to the graveyard,
for, of course, Sunday auto-riding will
be punishable by death. Mr.. Cooper,
sold Sawnee" Webb and Rev. Edwin
B. Chappell, drafted a bill at the in
stance of the Tennessee Conference
and turned it over to Senator Nickel
lar, who had it decently inferred Tin
the Congressional Record) but Kay
Dee refused to daddy the bill until the
people should be first aroused to its
need. The bill provides against oper-
ating trains on Sunday, any postof-
flee being open for delivery of mail,
or for any newspaper to be delivered
as mail or any person carrying on any
ordinary avocation On the real, pur-
itanical Sunday a man must not kiss
his wife-but.if he were a very, very
religious man, he might step out and
accuse some young girl or old woman
of witchcraft and for a Sunday and
godly diversion have a little burning
at the stake. We are not committing
ourself on the question-but we will
say that while one may not believe in
predestination or foreordination, it is
mighty hard to argue against it. 1t
may come-and if it does become
national law, We suppose a multitude
of offices will be created to enforce
the act. What do you think about it
seriously, for eleven Southern
Methodist conferences have endorsed
it and others will follow suit.

CHANCELLOR ROSS
is IN THE FIGHT.

Chancellor J. w. Ross is in the
fight for the Federal judgship. to sue
ceed the late Judge John E. Mccall,
of Memphis. The Chancellor already
has strong endorsements in West
Tennessee, notably the whole bar and
many business men of Paris, also
from other counties-hence, he is not
going into the contest unprepared.
During the recent campaign Chancel-
lor Ross frankly told all that he
would not actively participate in par
ty politics, so long as he is on the
bench and that position was entirely
to his credit. 1t goes without saying,
for all who know Chancellor Ross at
all know that if appointed to the place
he would make a distinguished Judge
and all that is said of Chancellor
Ross without disparagement of 9TH
er gentlemen who have the same as
piration Chancellor Ross is one of
the best equipped lawyers and Judges
in Tennessee-on the bench or in the
practice.

A MENACE AND GOOD
SUGGESTION.

1t is said that a great army of ho-
bos is now being organized to take in
the country, similar to the vast army
of 1914, and ere we know it these
worthless people will parade our
streets and robbery will follow close
in their wake. They will ask for char
ity and more they get the wore they
want. The professional hobo knows
how to persist, because persistency is
one of his virtues. The outcome of it
is the undeserving will scoop in the
charities of our people while the de-
serving will be turned away empty
handed. To simplify the matter a
charity committee composed of repre-
sentative citizens should be appoint
ed, and the City Council pass an or
dinance forbidding promiscous beg
ging on the streets, sending all such
to the proper committee for attention.

NUMBER IS
POSSIBLE DIVISION
IN STATE G. o. =.

The Republicans have another pow
wow-this time in Chattanooga, and
while it was but local dinner, given
in honor of C. H. Huston "a prominent
Chattanooga manufacturer, it had
such significance that hundred or
more leaders from various sections of
the State journeyed over to the Noun
tain city-to see who was and who
was not there, if for no other pur-
pose. The main intention Of the din
ner was said to be to sound the
praises of Mr.. Huston as the new
leader of the party in Tennessee and
to place him in the list of possibili-
ties for cabinet honors under Presi-
dent Harding. The published list of
those who attended is said to reveal
the "Fine Italian Hand" of Jesse
Littleton, a Chattanooga man, who
hardly made more than an "also ran"
showing against Uncle ALI Taylor in
the Republican gubernatorial primary
and Huston is said to be a devotee
of that particular cult of Republican
ism in Tennessee factional politics.
The list Of prominent Republicans
who were not there include Gov.-Ele
Taylor, ex-senator Newell Sanders,
former Governor Ben w. Hooper,
(now Chancellor), Congressman ].
viii Taylor, defeated Congressman
Sam Sells, Capt, Tom Peck, ct al, per-
haps numbering hundred who have
been more or less shining lights in the
Sanders faction-and by the way,
while "Old Newell' was invited to
make speech, he neither reported
Tfor duty nor sent regrets and when
local Republican was asked why SEN
ator Sanders was not present, the re-
ply was made that Senator Sanders
did not desire to attend his own fun
eral." The prominent Republicans
who were conspicuous by their absence
from the Chattanooga feast are said
to have endorsed Capt. Tom Peck for
Commissioners Of Agriculture in the
Harding cabinet. Out Of all this
grows the statement that the fight ia
handle the Federal patronage in Ten
nessee will be made by two factions
headed, respectively, by Huston on
one side and Capt. Peck on the other
the Peck side representing the real
following of Gov.-elect Taylor, who
won in the November election by an
"old-time Democratic majority"
1t must be conceded that Uncle Alf
Taylor won the war-and now it is
wondered if it will be possible for his
late primary opponent to Twin the
peace"
