UNCLE GEORGE KNOTT, MAKER
OF BASKETS ANo soTroMeR
or CHAIRS PASSES AWAY. : q

Uncle George Knott, Maury coun,
tvs Oldest citizen, possibly the Oldest
in the state is dead at his home,
Southside Park, near Columbia at the
venerable age of 112 years.
Uncle George remembered when
Maury county was but wilderness,
and when only few cabins of the
earlier settlers stood, where now the
prosperous little city of Columbia is
built. He remembered when hay
shed stood on the present site of the
court house. He remembered mem.
bers of the distinguished Polk family
of Marry county, and many of the
grand old men of this section who
have gone before. He remembered
the day Nathan Bedford Forests cav
airy entered Columbia. and the stir.
ing scenes enacted in the "Dimple of
the Universe during the conflict be-
tween the states, and Immediately
thereafter.
Uncle George was married six
times, and was the father of thirty
six children. The last time he was
married he was only ninety-six years
of age, while his bride was eighteen.
Only three children survive Uncle
George, one being a son, Dock Knott,
by his second wife. Dock says he
does not know exactly how old he is.
but knows he is more than sixty. For
more than twenty-one years he has
been living at the same place and re.
members events which took place
italy sixty years back. Uncle George
has grand children more than. fifty
years of age.
Uncle George was the property OF
VIM. Knott of Williamson county be
fore the war freed the slaves, and
was a good faithful old negro. He
earned his living by making baskets
and bottoming chairs, and he was en-
gagged in this occupation until just
seven days before his death.

Picking and Choosing

The Republican national platform
of 1916, which Chairman Cummings
has praised, declared for world
court "for the pacific settlement of
international disputes"
The Senatorial "round robin
which Mr.. Cummings condemns de-
clared that it was the "sincere de-
sire" Of the signers that "the nations
of the world should unite to promote
peace and general disarmament.
The two utterances are substan-
TALLY alike, and a third to the same
effect is the Republican platform of
1920. Mr.. Cummings is not able to
praise the words of 1916 and at the
same time denounce those of 1919
and 1920.

Books
By
Frederic F. Van de Water

Wallace Irwin may be New Yorke,
by address but he is still Californian
in tradition, ideals and viewpoint
Suffering Husbands" (Doran) pur-
ports to be collectio of stories about
typical New Workers and typical mar
ried folk. We aren't sure which class
is more untypical.
AS spinner of yarns Mr. Irwin
is, as always, deft and amusing. AS
an accurate observer of life about him
we have firm conviction that he's
only little less than complete
failure.
His stories are as amusing as a
cracking good vaudeville show and
about as substantial. They are un-
usually easy reading and will doubt
less be accepted by the unwedded
portion of the world west of the Hud-
son as true to married life and New
York
There is a thin wire of satire run
ming through each of the nine stories
that comprise the book. To any read
er of "The Saturday Evening Post
their tone will be familiar. Mr.. Irwin
seems to have struck pay streak in
literature, somewhat higher than the
claim worked by Robert w. Chambers
and lower than the one staked out by
Julian Street.
He writes Of what is known as New
York society in "The Town Topics
sense. His characters are not the sim
soiled demigods Of Mr.. Chambers;
neither are they the flesh and blood
persons of whom Mr.. Street writes
in his too few tales of married New
Workers.
There is no ground in the world for
contesting Mr. Twins ability as a
handler of plot and dialogue and all
the implements of his story telling
There is every reason, we think, to
protest like loyal Jersey-born New
Yorker against the indictment he draws
against a much misunderstood city.
All of Mr.. Irwin's stories are favored

A Defense of DR.. Wolfson

Sir: l was pupil in high school if

to read now any imputation of his
Americanism is painful.
To US boys he represented the virile,
MISUNDERSTANDING American Our
admiration, esteem and respect for him
were unanimous. He is no pussyfooter.
and the characteristic of independence
when one is in the employ of any
system, school, army or navy where cor
ders is ORDERS" stupid though they be
at times, is very apt to incur the dis
pleasure of the higher-ups.
When DR.. Wolfson resigns from our
school system the loss will be distinct
one to the city. Thousands of grown-ups
who have felt his influence will suspect
there is something radically wrong with
system that cannot harbor as valuable
an asset as DR.. Wolfson has been.

1--WE are not Wilson partisan, al
though we regard him as great
tragic figure; but we are stating cold
truth when we assert that of all the
perfunctory demonstrations in con-
vention within our experience this
was the least animated by sincerity.
Nor are we forgetting that we once
heard Senator Sherman cheered for
fifty-six minutes"
1t is sad that Democratic truth
can be so elusive. Young Mr.. Broun
writes of "the cold truth" We
shiver at the thought. We were
deeply moved by Mr.. Cummings s
heart throbs, for instance. Can it
be that they, too, are subject to a
discount ranging from so to 100 per
cent? The idea is unbearable. If
the heart of the world had not long
ago been broken to bits we should
guess that we again heard it crack

Building Up Men

The address of Governor Coolidge
at the commencement of the Univer-
sity Of Vermont confirms the i'm
preston that no mistake was made
when the Chicago convention named
him as one of it's standard bearers.
There are both depth and precision
in the discourse of Governor Cool
idge. He feels his convictions and
he thinks clearly. He has character
and at the same time mental vigor.
Surely worthy son of New Eng
land has arisen to understand and
carry on under the new conditions
her great work.
The theme of the Governor was an
old one. He did not present himself
as proclaimer Of any new doctrine.
He is for the old Americanism hon
estly and sincerely applied. It's CEN
trail thought is service. Selfish in
terests, no matter what their source,
cannot be allowed to interfere with
progress. The supreme allegiance OF
our citizenship must be single-must
run to all of us organized into a
mutually helpful political state. A
heavier responsibility is laid on the
individual citizen than ever before
because he knows more and his
spirit lis more to rely on himself.
But this responsibility has it's perils.
If the power now with the masses is
misused they will feel consequences
more gravely than in the days when
politics was the avocation Of ruling
class and the great forces of society
silently flowed on underneath with
out disturbance. The times need a
mass education and power of mass
self-control beyond anything known
in the past.
"Preachy stuff" some may say.
But what is required is preachy stuff
whose truth is checked against the
facts of everyday life.
