LUCK AND OPPORTUNITY.

Here Is a little batch OF observations
from the Houston Chronicle which are
80 wholesome and timely as to merit

"You often complain because other
men are so fortunate In their invest

"You say II Is Just their luck and
you never get the opportunity.

"You know full we'll that II Is a
difficult matter TO get much ahead un-

Knowing this. why allow the earn
ings which might be invested to slip
away from you?
you cannot continue TO have the
good time which requires the expendl-
lures OF all money aside from your
living expenses and save anything to
invest.
"These are not new facts, but they
are facts worth pondering--digesting.
Don't blame your luck when you are
the guilty party to your failure to make
n stake"
The men whom you regard as lucky
are, as a rule, perhaps no more highly
endowed by nature than yourself. They
have n practical faculty. however. which
will not permit them to trust to luck.

sure OF the methods empoyed in an eff
fort 10 defeat the amendment in Ten
nessee. They were unfair as well as
futile methods and have gained for the
state much undesirable publicity. One
may feel like resenting the assertion OF
New York paper that this probably
could not have happened anywhere ex-
cept In Tennessee, but II has not hap
pened anywhere else. and similar per-
formances have been staged before in
the state.
The immortal Thlrty-eigh claim they
decampel to Alabama In order to uphold
the constitution Of Tennessee. Their
sincerity will be questioned because
they went much farther than necessary
to uphold the constitution. In the first
place, the clause OF the Tennessee con-
sttutlon relating to federal amend
ments. so Is null and void. being at
variance with the federal constitution.
And again. the thirty-eght would have
been faithful to their oath OF Office, and
would have done all that was required
OF them in unfolding the constitution
II they had remained at their posts OF
duty and attempted TO prevent action.
they could not have been expected to
do more than attempt to defeat ratifca-
tion OF the amendment.
The abscondence was unfair and I'M
manly. II was absurd and useless and II
was criminal In their alleged earnest
desire to uphold an invalid clause of
the state constitution. the apsconders
violated law OF the state. The law
makes II a felony for members OF the
legislature to leave the state during
session Of that body for the purpose OF
breaking a quorum and interfering with
legislation. The heglra to Alabama was
a felonious flight, and each of the alb
scorders Is subject to arrest and prose-
cution.
The Immortal Thirty-eight have made
themselves ridiculous They have en-
barrassed Tennessee before the country.
They have disguised right minded peo-
pie OF the state. Now let them be
brought to account.-Bristol Herald

EUROPE IS oRoucHY.

It has been said that once upon a
time. President Hayes was puzzled to
account for the III will OF n certain
man, having, as he declared, never
done the fellow favor. Stories COM
ing to this country from Europe, how
ever. are not SO hard TO explain. A
Paris correspondent writes that II seems
hard for late belllgerent countries to
forgive this country because 1t was not
entirely ruined by the war. as they
came very near to being. II might be
worse for them II we were.
4 This correspondent says there seems
manifest among countries in Europe a
disposition to be resentful toward their
creditors. This probably explains some
OF the Crouch against us since about
all Of them owe us immense sums. As
creditor, however, we have tried TO
be nice about It, not even collecting
interest until such time as suits their
convenience. On this account. the Amer
lean people have n tidy burden them
selves which could be greatly lightened

across the Atlantic that folks were

and that America would have to hurry
or Il would be too late. America hur-

while she was rushing 100000 men to
the front. she was also pouring billions
In treasure and munitions into the great

though she can strike with pulverizing

many other more pleasant ana profitable

rhAr OATH oE oFFloE.

The constitution OF Tennessee Is not
allowed 70 stand In the way between
friends. whatever may be the necessity
OF invoking II in an attempt to outlaw
women from participation IN the exer-
else OF human rights, It is not available
for the protection OF the money when
the people have paid in taxes. There
was indeed good reason for the pro-
foundly- humorous suggestion made IN
the legislature yesterday that COM
mittee be appointed to ascertain
whether there Is any moro money lett
in the treasury.
When an appropriation Of $3.50 lex
penses" for each member was voted at
the regular session in 1919, II was
pointed out by many persons and news
papers that It might have been $1,000
apiece so far as the legality OF Il was
concerned. But the courts let II pass.
Now, we are beginning 10 appreciate
the significance OF the precedent. That
$3.50 Expense" for 1919 was for the
entire session Of seventy-ive days. But
the extra session has gone the regular
several better. II, has appropriated for
its members 5000 each as Expense
and the session is limited TO twenty
daysl
There r. occasion for the people OF
Tennessee TO sit up and take notice.
An allotment OF 5000 expense money
for a twenty-day session is equivalent
to $3.50 apiece for regular session-in
addition TO the constitutional per diem.
The constitution provides that this per
diem shall not be paid to members who
are absent except in cases OF sick
ness. with what justification, there
fore, can this per diem and expense
money be paid TO those who left the
state and made the extra session an
abortion? Can they thus rob the peo-
plo without perjuring themselves?
Where is that constitutional league?
