LABOR DAY.

This country has bewilderlng pro-
fusion OF holidays, but only one OF pc
culiar interest to those who toll. That
Ia Labor day, which Is being observed
today. Locally speaking. a full day is
being devoted to the celebration OF the
anniversary In so far as this IL prac-
tlcable. There are some forms of work
which must OF necessity be continued
In operation, but the entire day is being
used in order that all may have at least
part In it's exercises.
II seems appropriate that one day In
tho year be set apart to the enjoyment
and recreation OF the workers. II serves
to remind us OF the all-importance Of
the great creative force OF society. OF
Its duties. It's rights. privileges and dig
lity. The occasion is--or ought to be-
a truly democratic festival. Those who
toll include most OF us. Those who do
not are hardly worth considering. The
recurrence OF Labor day ought there
fore to remind us Of the universal
brotherhood Of man.
II IL meet therefore. that In a great
Industrial community like Chattanooga
that the annual observance of Labor
day should be entered into by every
body with a spirit OF heartiness. 1t is
n fit season to study together the solu-
ton OF our numerous problems and, by
touching elbows together. to reach a
better understanding of our duties and
obligations to each other.

BOOST. DON'T KNOCK

In circular letter TO employees OF
tho Western Electric company who
travel, two or three weeks ago, j. p,
Odell. manager OF the company. told
them few things about the railroads.
Mr.. Odell states that while on his way
homo from Roanoke. on certain Sun
day morning, he and several other pas
sengers were trying to shave In the
Pullman. They were hardly able 10
get on with their shaving because two
fellows seemed TO want to monopollze
an the available room while relating
their grievances. Says Mr. odell:
And what do you think these two
fellows were doing7 They were beefinE
because they were thirty minutes late

III they ran brick kilns they got Ave

Then after noting the effect Of price

YOUTHFUL RED LEADER
QUEER SORT OF CHAP

Parls.-U. N. S.)-French officers
who were prisoners in the German
camp at Ingolstadt during tine war at the
same time as Michail Tuchachevsky,
the commander-in -chef OF the bolshevik
armies in Poland. do not believe the
young general has any ambition to
seat himself on the throne vacated by
the Romanoffs. Tuchachevsky Is de-
scribed as radical in everything-poli-
tics, literature, art. religion. He cares
for only one thng-glory. He knows
the Russians too well to take the risk
of having himself proclaimed a new
car.
AS for his political opinions or be-
llefs they are very simple. for he SIM
ply hasn't any. He laughs at the mon
archical form OF government as he does
at the idea OF a democracy He talked
to the French officers at length about
the French revolution and got them to
!, teach him the revolutionary hymn LA
Carmagnole." But at the same time
he said the Jacobins were at heart mere
bourgeois. He made no secret Of his de-
testation for England and all things
English. He felt the same way toward
the Germans.
Tuchachevsky took a prominent part
In all the practical jokes the prisoners
played on the Germans. Once he ap-
peared at the morning inspection wear
Ing a monocle OF black cardboard. in
mockery of the Prussian officer who
never appeared without his ocular ad-
junct.
This is objectionable insolence,"
cried the officer. You will pay dear
for it,"
How much?" queried the Russian,
ostentatiously putting his hand in his
pocket and drawing out his purse.
Tuchachevsky scarcely ever drank
more than a glass OF wine at his meals.
On the celebration OF the French ma
tional holiday, July IA. 1917, one OF the
French officers poured a glass OF rum
into the Prussian's wine. Tuchach-
evsky saw the trick, but nevertheless
drank the wine at a gulp, according to
the Russian custom, then sat down and
broke the glass between his fingers

ADVICE FROM YIERIck.

! George Sylvester Vierick. editor Of the
Fatherland, which had exitsepce before
the entry OF the United states into the
war. now writes this advice to any
who care 10 take II:
ITO elect Cox 10 to reward man
who hattered the Germans before the
war and revealed his true lingo face
only after he could insult the German
element with impunity. To repeat:
Whenever by any possibility Wilson's
man, Cox. could carry state or
district. let all those who believe In
Americas traditions vote for the re-
publican candidate. The men who sup.
ported woodrow Wilson or any Of his
acts must be driven from public life,
whether they be democrats, repub-
leans or socialists"
The indianapolis News, which, by the
way 10 one OF the strongest newspaper
recruits the democrats have gained,
says OF the above:
THAT certainly Is q comprehensive
policy. No soldiers who are candidates
on either ticket can have the support
Of vierick or his paper, since they oil
! supported Wilson's act In advising con-
gress to declare war on Germany. No
man could be elected who voted for
/, the seiective service act, the liberty
lean acts, or any other measure de-
signed 70 help win the war. What Mr..
vierick objects to 10 the war itself
Therefore, he thinks that the demo-
cratic candidate is impossible because
he 10 the candidate OF Woodrow Wilson
and the league OF damnations.'
Mr.. vierick IL quite in his old form
We saw during the war what were his
ideas of Americas traditions and
there 10 no reason to believe that they
I have changed. Down to the very dec
taration OF war he defended every
atrocity OF which Germany was guilty,
and excused or justified every insult
offered to this country by the imperial
government. And now he assumes to
tell the American people how they
should vote in order 10 maintain their
traditions Two years ago this
month the largest army this country
ever put In the field, 100000 men,
began the great Argonne drive. We
wonder II any one Of them could be
elected to office In accordance with
the theory Of this great defender Of
American traditions7' The voice Of
vierick will awaken many memories
not all OF them pleasant"

Tennessee reactionists' attempt TO
halt and turn back the procession OF
progress 10 coming In for gibes at the
hands OF photographers as was to be
expected. Here 10 one handed to them
by the Kansas City Times:
THE lower house Of the Tennessee
Legislature seems to be n little behind

ordinance OF 1887 establishing the
northwest territory shows It has not
been reading recent history. For its in

Some OF our Tennessee statesmen
haven't time TO specialize on history
They are too busy saving the country
from the women. In their haste and
zeal, they may also be excused for
their lapses OF memory OF the primary
principles OF arithmetic. That two and
two make four may be accepted as n
fact by the ordinary man. but states
men are not necessarily bound by any
such primitive methods OF calculation.
The Tower house" has mainly con-
cerned itself with getting certain facts
Impressed on the public mind. Also on
Secretary Colby's mind. In their frat
brush with suffrage, they were able to
muster forty-seven votes out OF the
nlnety-nine. in opposition. They kept
their number to the last. The facts
were certified 70 Secretary Colby. II
was shown that fifty votes were cast
for ratification and fifty against re-
consideration.
Those votes. however. we're not final.
Net with the lightning bugs. They

they had brilliant thought. They
would come back to Tennessee, adopt
resolves and whereases and send Score
tary Colby word that there are still
forty-seven Of the ninety-nin standing
pat against suffrage. They are still
within three votes Of 4 majority!
III, however. our statesmen have
neglected history and primary arith-
metic. They have gone strong on the
constitution. They are equally good at
appropriating to themselves other peo-
pies money. They arc not skinny on
expenses when they are not out any

ratified. the right to ratlfy remains.
This has been, since 1865, generally
accepted as the true construction OF
the hvth article OF the Federal Con-
stitution providing for amendments.
When ratified. all power is ex-
pended The federal government
counted among those ratifying the
Fourteenth amendment several states
the legislatures Of which. having rati-
fled. attempted later on to reverse their
action. The Tennessee legislature con-
sequently having once acted upon the
Nineteenth amendment lacks the con-
stitutional power to reverse itself.
Until ratified, the right to ratify
remains this dlctum doubtless is
sound also, at least in the case Of a
proposed amendment which carries no
limitation as to the time In which rati-
flcatlon by three fourths of the state
shall be completed.
The Eighteenth, or prohibition amend
ment carried the proviso In the resolu.
ton of congress that IL should be ac-
cepted by three fourths of the states
within seven years in order to become a
part OF the Constitution; but II Is so
doubtful that the time limitation Is valid
that only supreme court decision could
decide the question. In the case of
the Eighteenth amendment no case in
volving the point could be carried to
the courts because the amendment was
constitutionally adopted within a much
shorter period than the seven-year limit
imposed. Springfield Republican.

NO REDUCTION TIRE
PRICES IS EXPECTED

Despite the tendency OF various COM
modities of unrelated lines TO a towering
OF tho plane Of prices. 1t Is in the opin-
ion OF NJ. C. Homer. OF the Goree e.
Horner Diamond tire distributors here,
that there is little indication OF a re-
duction in the price OF tires for at
least a year.
Mr.. Horner says the reduction ~
based on raw material, cotton ming
particularly emphasized In this connec-
ton. Several tire manufacturers have
voiced opinions that ~ the present line
OF prices on cotton is maintained in
stead of decrease, there will be de-
cided rise in prices before another
year.
when you take In consideration that
in 1910 the cost of cotton in tire was
less than one-fifth of the cost OF rub
Der and in 1920 1t exceeds the cost OF
rubber by 80 per cent, It appears that
our present line of prices is indeed very
reasonable in comparison TO other com
modities." Labor also Ia quite an
item in the manufacture Of tires. and
for the last five years has been moving
higher.
statistics OF general commodities
show that they are 164 per cent. higher
than in 1910 and Zoo per cent. higher.
than in 1915, while tires are 90 per
cent lower than in 1910 and 80 per cent.
higher than the lowest point reached
in 1915"
