TENNESSEE ELS LEGAL RIGHT.

AS a matter of legislative practice the len
Inessee legislature had perfect right to rescnno
its action in ratifying the suffrage amendnene'
When motions to reconsider are duly made,
bill or resolution is not regarded as flnaly dis-
|posed of until the silne for reconsideration mas
expired. Secretary Colby knew this, but IN
order to do the spectacular thing he Went on
half cooked and declaSed the amendment adopt
ed. Now the legally completed and hnas action
of the legislature rejects the amendment. Inc
solid south IS sercely opposed TO ratification OF
the nineteenth amendment Only thlrty-lve
states have ratified; and while almost anything
can be done to the constitution nowadays, II re-
mains to be seen if the supreme court will count
thirfy-five and solenanly declare 1t to be thirty
six. That would be a somewhat violent con-
struetion The vast mass of ratifylng states are
republican. and when the amendment IS put
into the constitution, it probably will be by an
other republican state.

TWO OLDEST JOKES.

Edingburgh Scotsman: Someone
once said that there are only two
Jokes in the world. the drunk man joke
and the mother-in-law joke. There
are many varieties of the two themes,
many ways OF presenting the two SUI
premely comic figures: but when we
want to make each other laugh we
always go back either to the drunk
man or to the mother-in-law.
The statement Is an exageration.
There are other jokes. The curate's
egg Joke, for instance, which has moth
ing to do either with drunkards or
mothers-in-lay, and the more recent
Better ole" joke. But it remains
to be seen whether either OF these
Jokes win survive, viii amuse genera
ton after generation as the two great
Jokes do. For the drunk man and the
mother-in-lsw are very old jokes. They
have proved their worth by provok-
ing laughter for thousands Of years
and they are still the most popular
Jokes there are. A comedian imper-
sonating a drEnkard is sure OF his
laugh, and a public speaker, finding
his audience is getting bored, has only
to say the words "Motherin-law' to
provoke full-throated merriment-
OF the two. the drunk man joke
seems to be the older. The Spartans
knew it and Used to make slaves
drunk so that their sons, LAUNCHING
heartily, might avoid the vice through
fear of ridicule The Jews knew It.
Their ancient literature is singularly
poor in comedy. There are not half
a dozen jokes in the whole old tesla
ment, but the drunk man joke is
there. Isaiah, a grim old puritan OF
"a statesman. made it, and made 1t an
excellent form. The mother-in-law
is not so old, but it goes back to clas-
steal times. We find it in Plutarch.

"a man once threw a stone at uos
and hit his mother-in-law. Not sucn
bad shot after ALL he said" That
is Plutarchs version Of the Joke. 1t
is so neat and epigrammatic that
think the joke itself must have
been old in his time. He could
scarcely have achieved such perfect
form unless he had been working on
a long familiar idea But ancient
as these jokes are, they have lost none
Of their freshness for us. Time, IT
appears, cannot stale their infinite va
riety. We may fairly suppose that
they will last as long as our race
does. America may go dry, but the
great comic tradition of the drunk
man will survive even in Texas. The
bolshevists may abolish marriage; Dut
men will always remember what mar
rage was because they will always
laugh when anyone says "mothef7in-
law" We may picture to ourselves
the last survivors of our race shlyerlng
in icy caves while the sun smolders
to extinction. They will, no doubt,
cheer the desperate hardship OF their
winter by inventing fresh Quips about
drunk men and mothers-in-law.
No other joke seems to possess the
quality of endurance. Indeed, the
path of mans progress through the
ages is strewn with the corpses OF
dead Jokes which once We're vital
enough, but somehow missed immor-
tally. There is the doctor joke,
for instance. The ancients knew II.
physician, heal myself" is a proven
bal form of it. The story OF the
medical man who went out hunting
is another version of it. To-day at
least" said friend who met him,
"you will kill nothing" It survived
down to the middle Of the last CEN
fury, and even in our own time 6. =.
Shaw has attempted to galvanize II
into fresh life. But the joke is really
dead. We no longer laugh spontan'
eously at the thought of doctor
though in it's day the doctor joke was
certainly good one.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
A SONG OF REslRTH.

A SONG OF REsiRTH-
Here sing of those reborn
Any day-or eve or morn,
Free of that they have outworn-
Not transmigranfs from afar,
Grided by some fateful star,
These my blest reborn ones are.
They have never flown this earth,
Never left their fields or hearth
Who arise in this rebirh-
They the heavy slough have cast
That enwrapt them in the past
Come into their own. at last!
Now, their wide, astonished eyes
See new heaven In the skies.
Lord. love them. here my greeting flies.
Innocent, and yet adept
witt, a sense that in them slept
TIL this natal wave upswept;
Childlike for all play alert,
They their leading strings desert
Nothing can o'ertake to hurt!
Hidden is their chrysmal font;
No newgiven names they vaunt;
No high song of triumph chant
Yet each well recalls some hour
When swift renascent power
Brought the sheathed soul to flower.
Asked of this then might they say,
.Oh read book, one day
Or, Love met me in the way.
Sudden Light was round me she'd,
Or, "a signal from the dead
Otherward my footsteps led"
Though of this rebirth sing,
How can I together bring
All the ways new life may spring?
Let each one bear witness true,
And the miracle review
That for him changed Old to New.
Only this dare to say,
Souls are thus reborn each day.
Lord, love them! in my heart pray.

If you were In the close vicinity of a railroad
crossing out in the country, you would not have
to wait long to see something take place about
as follows: A motor car driver, who had been
coming along at moderate pace, draws near
the tracks and sees a passenger train coming
about a quarter of mile away. He decides tot
beat his way across. You think he is taking a
deperate chance and wonder why. The driver
seems to be in a great state OF excitement. lie
spurs his car forward and crosses ahead OF the
train No time to spare You realized it was
a close call It seemed as If the pilot just graz
ed the man S machine.
The driver stops, and by his labored breath.
you know he has had good fright. Maybe you
sing out What s the hurry?' Well, true as
you live, the question Is a fair one.
You are prepared to hear him answer that he
has sick wife at home and he was making a
hurry trip for medicine to save her Life. No
such thing. His answer is Il was sure I could
beat it across and so I did, didn't IT,

What You have Just seen is something that

in your mind and it all resolves itself into the
following: Here is mana human being--a
fellow with brain Nature endowed him with
thinking powers; and, by thunder, what does
he go and do but thing that no horse or any
thing with horse sense would do!
And when you read that forty five hundred
men. women and children were killed or injured
driving across railroad tracks last year, you
feel that your little trip out to the crossing has
thrown much light upon the subject, so that now
you know the reason why. Watch your step at
the crossing!
