ton girl then broke through Mrs. NAL

The second set was far from inter-

THE SENATE'S DEFIANCE.

Our august State Senate is minded
to force the revenue agent graft upon
us whether we like it or not. 1t pur-
poses to hold our noses and gag" the
nauseating dose down our throats, so
to speak. This Is species of def;
ance or popular opinion which, we be-
lieve, will not sit wei on the peoples
stomachs. This featuring scandal
has been too often and to effectively
exposed, to be CLOSED over with
whitewash. And every time the
probe has been applied, the same stu
alton has been disclosed.
Talk of eliminating Objectionable
features of this evil is the veriest
nonsense. Such attempts have here
tofore been made times without num-
ber. The only effective elimination
is by means of the gibbet. The organ
ization has sinned away its day of
grace. 1t has refused to be reformed
The only dependable remedy lis in de-
struction. That the Senate should
thus flout what amounts to an almost
unanimous demand will, we believe,
cause painful sensation. This is a
load the Democratic party can not af-
ford to carry.
1t may be well to note here, howev-
er, that Republican Senators have
practically assumed responsibility for
the continuance of this putrid nui-
sance. Had they shown some respect
for the Governors Recommendation
had they even divided on lines SIM
liar to the Democratic Senators, the
upper house would have smitten
the graft machine. But only one of
them followed the Governor.
1t is a waste of time to argue this
machinery is necessary in the collec-
tion frevenue. Its most shining
light has declared that this is not so.
It's maintenance is not intended so
much to facilitate the collection of rev.
enue as to provide fat places for the
machine politicians. - Chattanooga

OLD ALF SPEAKS OUT.

The bill creating a tax commission
in Tennessee, separate from the rail-
road commission, was returned to the
Legislature yesterday with the sigma
ture of Gov. ALI Taylor, but accom-
panied by the message in which the
Governor expressed his disapproval
of the provision which names A. v.
Louthan as tax commissioner at a
salary of $4,000 yeaer, an increase
of 5000 over that which he received
as chief statistician.
His message follows:
al herewith return House Bill 1899
with my approval and explanation as
follows:
"The bill is near approach to
some of the reforms in tax legislation
that we have long battled for and it
is unfortunate that the bad features
in it could not have been eliminated.
ITO the extent that this bill takes
the assessment and supervision of the
assessment of property, other that
that of railroads and public utilities,
out of the hands of the railroad COM
mission and places the same in the
hands of bipartisan commission--it
lis good. That part Of the bill-which
compels sue ha commission to visit
each grand division fthe State so
that complaints may be heard by the
commission, without the necessity of
those aggrieved having to go hun
dreds of miles away for hearing, is
also good. That feature of it which
recognizes and dignifies but at the
same time supervises, the office of
county ia xassessor, thereby preserv-
ing the idea of local representation,
is likewise good. And it has other
good features. 1t is a step in the
right direction and a triumph of the
idea that our state needs a central
tax commission, bipartisan in its
membership, to pass upon these far
reaching questions of tax assessment
and equalization
"The Objectionable feature in the
bill is that it denies to the board the
right to elect its own craftsmanship
for a period of four years, at an in
creased salary, the present chief stat
istitcian who has been the leading
spirit in the administration of the old
law. Against such provisions of the
bill, / have vigorously protested and
now protest and have sought in vain
to get the chief proponents of the bill
to recall it and eliminate such fea-
lures.
''It is fundamentally wrong to leg
is late men out of office, but this
nan is already in office and for the
same length of time under the old law
rs he is under this law. 1t follows
hat if this bill fails we stand exact
y where we stood in the beginning
and we would go back to the old law
With the railroad commission and tax |
,tatistician unhampered, whereas un-
Ter this bill, these six members of the |
BOARD, three Democrats and three Re-
,ublicans, will shape the policies and
BASS upon all assessments, for the |
chairman does not vote except in case |
,f tie.
'The selection of these six men that |
ire ocompose this board of equali-
.ation is vital to the success of the
aw. The responsibility is upon the
to choose men of intel
ect, character and business exper-
ence, and no man who is an active
politician should be placed upon the
'oard. ."-Tennessean, April 9th. Il

"DEACON DUBBS"
A MONEY GETTER.

The people of Lexington made no
mistake Tuesday night by turning out
in sufficient number to pack the aud
itorium of the beautiful new city
school building to witness perform
ance of the three act drama, Deacon
Dubbs, of Sorghum Centre, State of
West Virginny," by local talent. The
cast of characters including Misses
Eula Moffitt, Blanch Threadgill, Ma
ry Threadgill Lula Mae Pearson, Mrs
w. L. Darden, Messrs w. L. Bobbitt,
Harold Pickens, Hubert Segerson,
Guy Amis, Lanoice Hay and Misses
Velma Brooks and Bert Youngerman
was fortunate. While limited space
forbids mention Of the individual
characters and how we'll each and ev-
cry one did their parts, all endorse
that Miss Eula Moffitt played the
part of a good-hearted, Industrious,
,plain-spoken spinster, with excep-
tional ability-acting with a smooth
ness that would have done credit to a
professional.
Much credit is due Mrs. C. c. Davis
who directed the drama and who
showed special tact for this work.
Special vocal solos by Hen
ry d. and Edward G. Barry, between
acts, seemed to have been enjoyed for
both received encores, the rendition
of "Annie Laurie" and Garry Me
Back To Old Virginny" by Messrs Lon
Austin, Viii Hay, Mrs. H. R. Rose and
Mrs. u. G. Hearn, the recitation by
little Miss Mary Elizabeth Taylor, as
well as dancing the old Virginia Reel,
in the play were all well received by
the audience.
The receipts were more than satls-
factory-over 500.
The payers have agreed to present
Deacon Dubbs" at Wildersville on
Friday night of text week (Apr.22)
and the Progress takes pleasure in
recommending the performance to
that community as well worth seeing
and hearing.

IN LINE WITH WILSON.

As events in the life of the Hard
ing administration unfold we see how
sound were the positions taken by
Woodrow Wilson in many interna-
tional questions.
Mr.. Hughes is following the line of
Mr.. Colby's reasoning in discussing
the Mesopotamia oil situation with
England. As to the island of zap,
again Mr.. Hughes stands firmly with
Mr.. Colby and Mr.. Wilson and freely
quotes fro mletters in order to sus-
tain his position.
The secretary of state also seems
inclined to follow the Democratic ad-
ministration's attitude toward Mexi-
CO. American people were fearful
that when Mr.. Fall became a member
of the cabinet his desire for a fight
with Mexico, as often expressed in
the upper house of Congress, might
result in friction between the two
countries.
Ii is not unlikely within a few
weeks the present cabinet members
will further follow Mr.. Wilson and
recommend a ratification of the Ver-
sailles treaty of peace with modifi-
cations sufficient to enable them to
say the act is in line with the Repub-
lican attitude as expressed before the
election.
There will be many other things in
Mr.. Wilson's administration which
will serve as models for the present
administration Appeal.

PERSHING SOUNDS
WARNING NOTE.

A warning that foreign influence,
dangerous in their Tenderness, are
again at work ITO weaken the close
ties of friendship that binds US to
those peoples beside whom we fought
in the great war;" was sounded in
Philadelphia last Friday night by
General John j. Pershing, who ad-
dressed two mass meetings in the
concluding exercises of all-American
day.
Praising the patriotism Of foreign
born citizens whom he said he had
seen fight under the American flag
in the Philippines, in Mexico and in
France, General Pershing said that
oftentimes their enthusiasm for
America has surpassed that of any
native born, "who have not always
lived up to the obligations of their
birth"
"Many of us often consider too
lightly our obligations toward those
who come to cast their lot with u.s."
he said. "Many native Americans, in
to whom the inheritance of liberty
has sunk through generations, are
too often Indifferent to the enlight-
eminent of those whom we hae invit-
ed to our shores. We must make our
democracy self-protecting, and not
leave the right of suffrage adrift in
the hands of the illiterate and the ig-
n0rant."
Pointing out that Americans have
no quarrel with those of foreign birth,
or stock, who cling to the art, the mu-
sic, the folklore or better traditions
of the land Of their birth, but want
them to look to America as an inspir-
alton, General ershing reviewed the
causes which led to the United States
entering the war-"the only slought
of arrogant militarism supported by
a certain disloyal element here at
home, and continued.
Nearly three years have passed
and we again hear the murmer Of dis
loyalty. It is time to ask ourselves
whether our patriotism is to stand
mute while this poisonous propa gan
da dwarfs our conscience. Shall we
tuiIi Oui buSho upoh Wi AiWiiuo oA
yesterday? Are we expected to con-
done the wanton destruction in France
and Belgium and on the high seas 7?
Have sacrifices Of American blood al
ready been forgotten?
@We demand one quality of Amer
ican citizenship, and that is loyalty
without stint and without reservation.
Let us make it entirely clear that we
have no place for so-called citizens Of
German birth or lineage, or of any
other origin, who, false to their VOWS,
see kto prejudice American action for
the benefit of the alien government,
or who would determine an American
question for foreign reason.
"We most earnestly protest against
the debasement of our American cit
izenship to promote political or war
like interference with the affairs of
a friendly people. Nashville Ban

SLUGGERS SLUMP SLIGHTLY
Warm Weather Rounds American League Into Better Form-NichOl- son Does transitional Hitting.

Chicago, June 25.-Old King SoI'' | has been very much in evidence in the baseball world during the past week and his warmth apparently has brought pitchers who were slow in rounding into condition back to their stride As a result batting has suf- fered materially.
 Babe Ruth made two circuit drives during the past week, and brought his string to 25. In the Ma tional league Irish Meusel of Phil adelphia failed to add tC his mark or II circuit drives.
 The warm weather also IS help ing the base stealers.
 Harry Heilmann, the Detroit slug ger, continues to top the batters of the American league with an aver age of .414, according to averages released today and which include games of Wednesday. However, Heilmann's mark has dropped lI points helow that of a week ago. Iris Spe;~. CT, pilot of the world s cham pions, who is the runner up, also slumped and now is hitting .4O3. Ty Cobb dropped only two points, and is in third place with .396.
 Sisler is out in front among the base stealers of the junior major cir cult with 14 thefts, while Harris Of Washington is trailing him with 13.
 In the National league Roger Hornsby added three points to his mark of a week ago and leads the regulars with an average of .419.
