Let the Facts Be Remembered.

There should be no forgetting the
fact that in resuming its sittings af-
ter the holidays the Republican Con-
gress begins the second month Of its
regular session faced by all the big
problems that pressed for solution
in the extraordinary session. Much
time has been wasted; little has been
accomplished.
With Presidential campaign only
a few months distant thcre is every
likelihood that the Republican lead
CTS will attempt to evade or tempo
rize lest their political chances be
affected by their votes on vital legis-
lation. Courage and unselfshness
will be required to deal with many
Of the important propositions which
arc pending in this Congress. Par
tisan considerations will have to be
ignored if the country is to have the
action which it's needs demand
Taxation is one subject which can
not be safely considered from the
viewpoint of craftsmanship. 1t must
have attention. nevertheless, and the
Republican majority know it is a del
icate question. Judging from the re-
cent past, the Republican managers
of Congress will undertake to defer
as long as possible any enactment
looking to a reduction or revision of
present taxes.
Some disposition of the railroads
viii have to be made, but chat, too,
is likely to be modelled according to
the exigencies of Republican politics
rather than in response to pubic ne
ce5sity. Adequate provision for sol
diers and sailors who fought in the
World War has not been made by the
Republican Congress, notwithstand-
ing many boasts and promise s by
leaders of the G. o. P. The former
fighters VIII doubtless learn that it
was their votes that were sought and
not their welfare.
There is only one sort of activity
thata can be expected Of the regular
session of this Republican Congress.
That is a constant opposition to the
President and a continuance Of the
Investigations" ffcm which the
IL .dors of the Senate and the House
of Representatives hope not for re-
form or improvement, but for notori-
city for themselves and publicity for
their party.

Democratic Ticket.
The friends of the former Represen

The friends of the former Represen-
tative from Obion County, Judge Sam
r. Brattoh, are making particularly
strong appeal to him personally to
make the race again this year. There
are number OF good citizens from va
rious parts of the county who seem to
be interested in Judge Bratton's ability
to represent the people of the county
in the Legislature, and they are inclin-
ed to press the matter upon Mr.. Brat
ton-not very small number and not
in a very few instances, but rather a
general demand for his consent to make
the race. There are three things which
seem to be stressed in the making Of
this demand. First is the reduction
of taxes, second general reduction of
fat offices still maintained by the State,
notwithstanding the vigorous campaign
made against them 10 the last election,
and then general onslaught against
useless expenditures and uncalled for
extravaganza OF State government. Mr..
Bratton is peculiarly well qualified Tor
a job like this, and If they were all like
him, very few iobs" would be put
over" Really the time has about ar
rived when, it makes no difference who
is the candidate, some effort should be
made to spade the dirt aud trash away
and make some good strong doors for
the State treasury. The exposure to
general and indlsctiminate attack has
been verysdisturbing to taxpayers and
very dangerous to the security of State
credit and finances.
