MORE HUMANITY NEEDED THINKS
 coy. COOLIDGE

BoStons Jan. 9.--The need of hu naniz1ng government and industry and of maintaining obedience to the law was stressed by Governor Cool ldge in his address to the legisIature tooay, inauSuradng his second term. He urged more effort, not less,'' in production and economy on the part Of both state and individuals.
 He said that taxes must and do fau upon the people, in whatever form or name they are 1aid,' and that high taxes make high prices,'' he continued, "is to reduce their b1,r dens by paying off the obligations that came from the war rather than imposing additional burdens for +be support Of new projects
 Speaking of general conditions. Gov ernor Coolidge said:
 "Healthful housing, wholesome food sanitary conditions, reasonable hours Q fair wage for g. fair days work opportunity full and free, Justice speedy and impartial and at a cosf within the reach of all, are arnoney che objects not only to be sought but made absolutely certain and secure
 We are suffering from shortage of all kinds of materials The only rem edy Is to put more effort, not less in production Shortage is met only by. saving and production
 : Employer and employed must find their satisfaction not only in a money return but in a service rendered In dnstry must be humanized, not de- stroyed
 There are strident voices urging resistance to law in the name of free dom They are not seeking freedom even for themselves--they have it: they are seeking to ensZave others. Their works are evil They know it. They must be resisted The evil they represent must be overcome by the good others represent. The ideas which are wrong, for the most part Imported, must be supplanted by ideas which are right This can be done The meaning of America is a power which cannot be overcome Prosecution of the criminal and eaH1- cation of the ignorant are the reme- dies

BRIT AIN LETS REDS RANT AND
 AWAITS ACTS
Depends on Police to Cope With Any Outbreak and Public Good Sense Not to Be Misled.

London, Jan. Ss-Belshevik agita Ecrs in this country are working en- ergeticaIly along lines similar to those projected by the radicals in America the overthrow of the government, and the establishment of a Soviet Term of government.
 It Is thought the plans on this side of the Atlantic have not yet reached the point achieved by those In the United States. but it is believed the radicals here rapidly are reaching the point where they might seize upon some big labor strike as an op- 9oEtunity for starting 9 revolutionary fncvemen&>
 While these facts are common lknoW1edge to close observers it is said to be impossible for the British authorities under the present ultra liberal laws of free speech to do much more than to, watch the progress of events. The mere fact that an in Fdavtdsaal or an organization is allied !. with the Moscow Interna tionaIe and Ks preaching revolution by innuendo Is declared to be insufficient ground for police action.
 It Is declared the British, broadly speaking, cannot take preventive measures, but must be content to deal with some actual event. Great Britain can and does deport undesir- able aliens, but in the case of British subjects the situation Is more deli cate There are several extremist or sa1iEations In London and in various SE'aTts of the country, some political and others said to be allied with the szternists Iaborites, which avowdly arc BolsheVist or Communist
 Individual aedtators are spreading [ ftx,er rnF aSaaada and also featuring through out the count y. There are also some half dozen p4Aiodicals which are out and out Red, and some of them make no pretensions of hiding the fact that they are advocating Soviet rule in England
 There arc only a few big Red leaders, but they have a sufficient Following to form a nucleus for or sanitation Their whole effort now is centered in sowing the seeds of dis content and they are banking on the employment of mob psychology in starting trouble in the event of a wide spread strike according to the authorities
 The Red idea, 1t is asserted is to work for afhliation with existing organizations rather than for the creations of Kew ones. The agitators cannot be reached by the law except For direct indictment to revolt or for some other breach of the peace.
 Famous Albert Hall with all its his eor1o associations connected with the throne, has been used for what ytr- tually were Bolshevik meetings. at which Extremist speeches were de- hVered and '-The. Red Flag was sung to the accompaniment of the great or gan Similar meetings are held reg uiarly 1n Hyde Park and other places m London, and the police are bound to protect the speakers so long as mere IS no actual breach of the peace.
 SuI Great Britain seemingly Is noa unduly discouraged at the trend or events, believing in the power of the law to cope with any actual at tempt to use force and trusting in the good sense of the public not to ~be misled by propaganda

BOARD TO MEET
Many Matters of Importance in This
Connection With New Tax As
sessment Laws to Come Up.

County Tax Assessor Sam Culpep-
per has about completed his work of
assessing in the county and the
county equalization board is called
to meet here June 7. At the county
court meeting in July the county rate
viii be fixed, and the equalization
board following it's meeting on next
Monday, will of course have some
recommendations to tender to the
court.
Mr.. Culpepper has gotten along
reasonably well with the added am
cunt of work which the new assess
ment laws have put upon him, and
for which he receives no extra fee,
as he is not paid by commission, but
by each separate tract of land. He
previously stated that sentiment in
the county is divided in regard to
the new assessment, but that he hop
ed it would gradually work out all
right, that finally the increase of
personal property would equahze the
real estate tax so that every man
would pay only according to his
worth, and that the big tax would
fall where it should, on the large
property owners. He said he thought
the revenue derived from the new
law would total one third more than
the old assessment.

The management of the local club
requests every owner of an auto in
Henry County to be in Paris by 2:30
the afternoon Of June g. and partici-
pate in the big auto parade, headed
by the two opposing teams. This

IDEAL SECTION OF
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Established Precedent For Highway
Construction; Example to Road
Builders Everywhere.

There is to be constructed on the
Lincoln Highway, the great national
road stretching across the country
from ocean TO ocean, an Ideal sec
tion" which will embody the highest
ideals of modern American highway
construction. This section will serve
as an example to the road builders of
the world seeking information as to
the best and most satisfactory type
of road that can be built.
The funds for building the section
will be provided by the United States
Rubber Company. In announcing
the company's willingness to pay for
the section, Vice President ]. N.
Gum said:
"The desire of the company in au-
thorizing the appropriation lis to adj
vance public knowledge regarding
proper permanent highway construc-
ton, and to stimulate on the part
of those who have in charge the con-
struction of Americas public roads, a
careful consideration of the needs
of the future in undertaking present
construction"
The specifications of the "Ideal
Section" have not yet been decided.
A QUESTIONABLE has been mailed to
every highway commissioner and en-
gineer in the United States asking
for suggestions. The location of
the section has not yet been selected
but conditions on the Lincoln High
way in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa indicate that one of these sta
tes will be chosen.

BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS HERE NEXT
WEEK; BIG GAMES
Grove Diamond Being Put in Shape
And Grandstand Repaired;
Other Plans Made.
BEN PEOPLES MANAGER
NEWLY ORGANIZED CLUB
First Class Nine Made Possible By
Financial Cooperation of Paris
Business Men.

Baseball season will open here next
week. Grove diamond is being put
in shape, q new covered grandstand
erected. and players benches built
Manager Ben Peoples is making all
arrangements for the opening game to
be a festive affair, attended by the
largest crowd ever seen at an out
door sport in Paris. The request
that will be made for all business
houses to close between $3.50 and g.,
so that every one can attend the
game, will swell the number of fans
Also, on the day of the initial game,
an auto parade through the streets
of the city will be staged, in which it
is hoped that every citizen owning a
car will participate.
The city has proven it's universal
support of first class ball club, in
that, without an exception, every
business man here, and many private
citizens donated most literally to the
public subscription to start the ball
club off on the right foot, so that a
very substantial sum was raised.
The organization of the Paris Base
Ball Club was effected by a number
of the business men of the city, in the
offices of the National Toilet Com
pany, Friday night. John X. Cur
rier was made president of the asso-
citation, Will T. Warren, Jr., treas
urer; Hal Lawrence, secretary, and
R. L. Murray, DR.. Horace McSwain,
Gus Flake and T. B. Fairleigh were
elected directors. The selection Of
Ben People. as manager of the club
is very wise one. Ben is a front
trench man, and by his energy will
lead the ball boys over the top to
successful season. His wide popu-
lartiy too, adds to his ability to
serve.
1t is the aim Of the Paris Baseball
organization to promote interesting
games, to maintain winning team,
and to equip the baseball park with
all conveniences for its patrons.
From expressions heard on every
side, Paris is going to give its club
the undivided support of every citi-
zen. Every city of any pretense in
West Tennessee maintains good
ball club, and there is no reason why
city the size of Paris should not
support baseball. Games will be
arranged with only such first class
clubs as Paducah, Union City, Jack
son, Dyersburg, Milan, Brownsville,
Clarksville, Memphis, Trenton, Full
ton, and Hickman.

HIGHER WHEAT IS
NOW PREDICTION
VIII c. Rodgers of The Paris Milling
Company Attending Important
Meeting in Cincinnati.

Will C. Rogers of the Paris Milling
Company of this city is attending the
Community Millers' Association con-
vention in Cincinnati, Ohio this week,
there being several thousand millers
in attendance.
Yesterday, at the first day session,
there was a difference of opinion as
to the future price of flour between
Governor James M. Cox, who adj
dressed the meeting, and c. w.
Bransford, Owensboro, KY, president
of the association.
Mr.. Bransford, in his address, had
said that he expected the price of
wheat to decline to $3.50 bushel in
September when the next crop came
in, and this decrease, he said, should
mean lower prices for bread and
flour.
Governor Cox said "unless some
thing is done to stop the tide of la
Dor running from the farms to the
cities, you millers will not have en-
ough wheat to grind into -four and
there will be ultimately near ap-
proach to a food panic.
Governor Cox gave as his remedy
for the farm to city movement the
building of better country schools.
Before the convention opened, R.
D. Collins, Windsor, Mimi, gov
ernor for the Northwest for the as
sociation, said if he was to hazard
guess as to whether the price of
bread would go up or down in the
future, he would guess that it would
advance.

they cannot speak for themselves
even their graves are on far distant
battlefelds in Europe! Will you
not speak for them-act for them

one else at the big tent.
Hours before the evening perform
ance, crowds can be seen vending
their way to the tent to procure a
good seat. Some carry cushions
and fans, to insure perfect comfort
accompanying enjoyable entertain
ment.
The uual delightful spirit of COM
radie pervading Chautauqua crowds
here stamp the event as one of a

fetal and pleasant. 1t aways helps
neighbors to get together. Some of

This is Redpath's fifth season here
and as always they are offering new
and leading attractions. Because
this is a day when every man is get
ting to think for himself, much in
terest is being displayed in the seven
lectures, "Facing the Task" by Dr.
H. E. Rompel; "How to be Young at
70 or Old at 40," by DR.. Carolyn
Geisel; "The Achievements of luth-
er Burbank" by H. A.. Adrian; "Hu-

These cover a wide variety of sub
jects and one that will prove inter
esting to each and every one.
The light opera, "Pinaforc," and
the comedy, Nothing but the Truth"
are being especially featured this
year in the Chautauqua advertise
ments, Musical companies with
Redpath this season are said to be
much above the average.
The entire program offers seven
day Of relaxation for old and young,
and certainly. the town would be de-
