DEFENDS THE TAX LAWS

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 26,--(Special)
--Ex-Gov. Malcolm II. Patterson has
entered the present political campaign
In behalf of the democratic ticket.
state and national. writing a letter 0
j. N. Fisher, chairman OF the demo-
cratic state executive committee, made
public today, in which the former chief
executive OF Tennessee declares that
Gov. Roberts should be returned for a
second term. He defends the Roberts
tax laws as wise, and believes they
will work out beneficially in time, de-
spite what defects may be apparent at
first.
Ex-Gov. Patterson declared that It
would be better for the state that a
democratic governor be selected than a
republican. He said that republican
would not work In harmony with a
democratic legislature. and that there
fore there could be nothing but discord
In Tennessee should a republican gov
ernor be chosen. In the matter OF the
national election he favored Gov. Coxs
election, saying that he believed Cox
favored the league of nations with res
ervations, which Gov Patterson said
should be made condition precedent
before this country shall be bound in
controversies and difficulties from
which 1t may not be able TO extricate
itself. He said regardless OF the fact
that II might be true that President
Wilson had been obstinate in his
league stands and that he might be
Justly criticized for ignoring the senate
and thereby alternating the support
which otherwise might have been given,
President Wilson's defects will be lost
In the perspective OF history and the
whole OF his achievement will stand
out In Its mightiness.

JUST between
OURSELVES

Queer. isn't it. how we like to hear
the unkind remarks about our affairs
We don't? Then it's very odd that when
We gain some inkling OF something that
has been said SO many times we take
pains to find some one who win repeat
the whole conversation.
This isn't q very wise characteristic,
II we desire happiness. Our ears were
placed so that we can hear what goes
on in front of our faces-not behind us.
We're 80 apt to take casual remarks
TOO seriously--when they are directed
toward ourselves. or course, people
make them about us. All who have never
made them about others say "Aye!"
What q stiffness!
observation and OF reason we shall
sometimes sit in the seats OF the critics.
We shall form our own opinions OF what
others are doing; we shall express them
at times with comments commendatory,
sometimes condemning. Very few OF us
can always refrain, wise as II may be
to always attend strictly to our own
affairs.
So. why blame others for what we do
ourselves? Why should we make such
demands on human nature more or less
weak? Why not concede to others the
same privileges that we are 10 ready to
take ourselves? Why not have one
standard Of Judging action and true our
selves with 1t as we do our friends and
acquAintances9
A certain amount Of criticism ana
comment Is good for us. 1t shows us
our weakness as nothing else would and
teaches us more thoughtfulness--
vided we're teachable. And that's one
OF the tests Of strength Of character
When We need no criticism we shall be
ready for wings and q halo.

THE pONZI SENTENCE.

The sentence imposed on Charles
| Ponzi, the so-called wizard OF
| finance" who extracted millions of
dollars from New England people on
the promise to pay fifty per cent re-
turns in 40 days, seems at first thought
to be entirely inadequate to fit the
case; and were the five years impris-
onment destined to be the limit of the
incarceration of the man it would, IN
deed, be entirely incommensurate with
the offense. But there are other charges
which the young man must face when
he concludes the term on the federal
court sentence, SO that there are pros
poets of further conviction and the at
tendant punishment. Ponzi has dem
onstrated that he is not trustworthy
among credulous people; and curb
on his activities must be placed. Moth
ing but prison term of considerable
duration will accomplish that desired
end. His counsel's plea that Ponzi
was not so much a criminal as a self
deluded man, deluded by visions of
his own grandeur as master OF
finance, does not excuse his acts in
deluding the easily duped people. Pom
ri may have been pulled up by the
magnitude of his success in extract
ing millions of dollars from eager iu-
vestors; but there surely was no vani-
ty when he started in his scheme on a
lowIv scale-he then was trying to feel
out the people, to see how much they
would fall for Having determined
that the people were easy propositions
he no doubt began TO get the delusion
of being a mastermind in the field OF
finance. That's when the self -delusion
started. Prior to that there must have
been a consciousness of violation Of
the law if not consciousness of moral
wrong doing. 1t is for that that Pom
ri 81 being punished not because he had
delusions over his own grandeur. so
the FIVE year term under the federal
charge is none too long.
