Mr.. Carson is young man in years,
but has already proved himself as
minister and man for the day in
which we live. He has met with good
successes in his pastorate in Knox
vile, Tenn.
His church of 700 members is sit
uated in the center Of the city on one
Of it's main thoroughfares. He con-
ceived the suggestive motto: ''The
church with a heart, in the heart Of
greater Knoxville. He announced
the following program:
"Our plan is to warm up the hearts
of any members who may be out Of
touch with us, and second, to win your
heart if you now have no church
home." Right royalty he is doing this
work, having received more than 100
into his church during~the past year.
Rev. w. w. Moore, President of I'M
ion Theological Seminary Va, says of
Mr.. Carson: "A man Of brilliant parts
and most engaging address, popular
preacher and fine singer"
His talents put him in the fore
front during the. war, despite his over
seas rejection. He was put in the re-
sponsibleA position as director Of the
Speakers Bureau of the Southern Di-
vision of the Red Cross. Here he
commanded not only the respect, but
the admiration of those who were ov-
er him in the great work. The fol
lowing striking words from the per
If Wickes Wamboldt, National Cam
paign Expert illustrate this fact:
First 'F knew him as minister, ther
as an orator of highest standing, next
as a practical busines sman and live
wire, and withal thoroughly Low.
able fellow
He is touching the life of Knoxville
in every phaze, being director o.
the Board of Commerce, and of tht
Kiwanis Club, and member of AS
sociated Charities Board Of Trustees
It is worthy of note, that with al
this, Mr.. Carson has in no way com
promised the fundamental truths O
the Gospel of Jesus Christ, nor faile'
TO show the people the true way o
life.
His ministry with US cannot fail t

than the few dollars he may obtain for his
vote from the G. o. P. round up men
Whichever way he NAV elect 10 cast his

thing that savers Of bribery or vote-buy-
ing. He viii thus discover that he Will have

On the other hand, If they like one Ne

PRESS COMMENTS
TIE PERFECT MAN.

Il has mostly fallen 10 the directors Of
college Eylnnasiums to set out the prOpm-
tions Of the perfect man and the perfect
woman, and naturally thsy have dealt with
physical characteristics alone. But Doc
tor Nicholas Murray Butler Of Columbia,
believing that the end Of education II the
sound mind in the sound body, has set out
to name the six points that distinguish the
supposedly perfect man rs an educated
product from the uneducated. This effort
OF mental appraiscmcnt will find few to
Disagree with the standards set up. In
the first place, precision in the use OF ones

downent Doctor Butler Asks for is good
manners; while third is sound standards
OF feeling and appreciation; the fourth,
the power Of reflcction the fifth. the power
OF growth or educahility, and the sixth,
the ability IN work efficiently without ncr-
vous agitation.
All these six factors win be viewed ~
unimpcachahle by all thinkers, and it is
conceivable il they all existed in any one
individual TO 4 superlative degree you
would have a typical, wcll-nigh perfect
educated individual OF character and poise,
capable of sustained effort and able TO
direct his abilities to any desired end. But
it is to be remembered that number Of
these factors are more o. less natural en-
dowments resulting from ancestral strains,
which education cannot change very
much, though il may direct and modify
their line Of growth. Yet, Just A. the youth
who comes under the charge Of the director
OF physical training may easily be turned

NEW WORLDS TO CONQUER.

The king who In pre-Colurnbus days
unoar ed about 70 rev worlds to corquer
has his imitators today. Ard they are just
as foolish as he WAS. Because the lore
has been taken out of the great loneland
ard the dark ess lifted from darkest
Africa, they imagine there is no more ex-
plori to be done. Yet there Is q new
world awaitir man in which he VIII at
no dista- date be yweeping along at a
rate Of 200 miles an hour.
The air lires are already beirg charted
and inventors are busy prepar1rg ap-
pliances for operatir in cold, rarehed air.
They are making such Roadway that Dr..
Willis L. Moore, for 80 loI G head OF the
United States Weather Bureau, has
prophesied that within a quarter cam
tury or less human beir gs will be as nu-
merous as Insects in the air and that aerial
navigation will be safer than travel by rail
or automobile. He states that in this new
world there will be 10 clouds, nor rain, nor
snow, and that man will disport himself
In what is row nearly an untracked wilder
ness above the earth. OF course, there viii

to share In the great thlrgs which are
promised for those who will be alive In

Wedding Out Reckless Autoists.

Massachusetts has just revoked the
licenses of 63 automobilists for various
violations of law. Charges of overspeed-
ing we're sustained against fourteen, and
driving while intoxicated against twelve.
Others were deprived OF their licenses Tor
recklessness, or the determination OF
officials that they were not the proper per-
sons TO be entrusted with the responsibility
of driving. During the last i've months'
I.ll6 drivers have been deprived OF their
licenses in that State and the authorities
note there has been a material reduetlon IN
the overspeeding violations and that
drivers are decidedly more careful than
formerly when light fne was sli the
penalty demanded of the chauffeurs who
imperilled the lives Of pedestrians
The experiences of Massachusetts, might
be followed here with like results, so that
the number of accidents and deaths from
reckless driving might he materially re-
duced. So long as these total more than
all other causes combined, including the
operation of rail and trolley lines, Ut Is
obvious that there is much recklessness or
incompetency to be elimir ated. As 1T is
difficult to apprehend reckless drivers, all
other auto owners and the public gen.
orally should cooperate with the officials
to check the menace.
One large source Of danger Is 70 be founo
in the circumstance that many OF the men
employed to drive trucks or heavy trafflc
cars are selected probably more for their
ability as labcrers than drivers. Nest OF
the danger, and indeed ncst Of the exhlbi-
ton of bad temper, comes from drivers OF
big cars, and while all drivers should DC
competent. especial care should be exer-
cised to have the more dangerous vehicles
ALWAYS in competent hands.

Three Of Every -Four Children Defective.

Three Of Every -Four Children Defective.
A medical inspection Of 4, 335 children of
tho public schools of this city shows. IN 70
cent report Of the State Board Of Health.
that three Of every four pupils arc IN some
way physically defective, in need OF the at
tention Of physician or dentist. This dis
closure is somewhat startling to these who
have not given any attention TO the oondi-
ton Of the boys and girls attending the
schools. Il is to0, moro or lers surprising,
that more than half--or 2,555--of the
children examined have defective teeth,
and that l 1913 have diseased tonsils, while
354 are afflicted with adenoids ard 400
were discovered to have been victims Of
p.diculosis--which translated reads 1000
ties"
! There were 1T cases Ct defective vision
and Io5 instances of defective hearing. In
addition, there were discovered among the
children chicken pox and mumps and other
trnnsrnissable diseases, including diseased
lungs. all Of which, the report declares,
SHOWS the OeSQ OF q IDPIS CA'N'a' 'fASN'~'-
and dental supervision over school chill
dren.
Very many of the ailments or defects
noted were rather slight and possibly un-
important ut the present stage, but never
theless in need Of attention or prophyiac-
tic treatment. The report notes the es-
tablishment Of free eye, ear, nose and
throat clinic as well as travelling clinic
for children in need Of dental attention.
As we have noted, the report is surpris-
ing in it's revelation that only one out oil
every four Of our school children is with
out some defects or other and that children
with communicable diseases are sent TO
school hy their parents, who possibly are
not aware Of their children's condition.
The findings of the inspector in this city
emphasize the Importance OF the work
10 hand and the necessity Of extending IT to
the country districts, where, perhaps, the
defective are proportionately as numerous
as they are in this city.

PROGRESSIvES WHO REMEMBER.

Every one of the Is Progressives who
have united IN an appeal for the election
of Cox and Roosevelt was known as an
active supporter of Theodore Roosevelt in
the secession from the Republican party
in 1912. Merely to cite the names Of
Matthew Hale, of Massachusetts,; John
M. Parker, of Louisian ma, Judge Ben B.
Lindsey, of Colorado; Harold J. lckes, of
Illinois; Francis j. Heney, of California;
George c. Rublee, of New Hampshire, and
the Others, is to recall the stand they
took in that historic contest. They are
the kind of PTogressives who from prin-
ciple refuse to follow Hiram Johnson
back to "normalcy'' or subscribe to the
reactionary doctrines proclaimed from the
frontsporch at Marion.
The Progressive party was formed in
1912 to fight the same organization that
controlled the Republican National Con-
vention at Chicago last June and selected
Senator Harding to be it's candidate for
President. The Penroses, Barneses, Wat
sons, Smoots and Lodges still figure as
its controlling spirits. In eight years
they have not changed in the least in
their political purposes and methods.
1t is against the domination of the
Republican party by "a little group of
obstinate party bigots, extending the
autocratie precedents of 1912 and 1915
and demonstrating the utmost regard for
the will of the party voters, that the Is
leading nogressives protest. In the Re-
publican party they see the same Old
Guard restored to power, with Senator
Harding, "The most colorless, pliable re-
dictionary Of that unimpressive group" in
cluded in the Senate oligarchy, chosen by
them as 'sthe most ft instrument to serve
their private purposes, the most useful
