II am personally acquainted with
Mr.. Dan NJ. Chambliss, of the firm Of
Kuhlman & Chambliss and when told
him Of my condition and how i suf-

Tanlac without delay and that 1t had
relieved hundreds of the best people
in Knoxville. l have now taken two
bottles of Tanlac and am giving you

forty years has been restoring American

AN INTIMArIoN OF IMMORTALITY.

Apart from divine revelation, one can find
evidence of the immortality of the soul in the
serenity with which many persons the threshold
approach the Great Unknown.
Such one Franklin j.. Lane, former
secretary of the interior who died last week In
unusual message to friends, dictated by him
shortly after operation, Lane exhibited a phil
osophical vision that had hardly before been
characteristic of him, far as the outside world
knew.
Two paragraphs of this valedictory are particu-
lary significant
For two days 1 had knowledge that this
operation was to take place at this time and
my nerves had not been just as good as they
should have been Those men who sleep ~
hours perfectly before being electrocuted have
evidently led more tranquil lives than l have,
or have less concern as to the future All, now
was to know the great secret! For 40 years 1
had been wondering, wondering. Often I had
said to myself that / should summon to my
mind when this moment came some words
that would be somewhat a synthesis of my
philosophy Socrates said to those who stood
by after he had drunk the hemlock, no evil
can befall a good man, whether he be alive
or dead 1 don't know how far from that we
have gone in these 2400 years.
1.-The apothegm, however was not apposite
to me, because it involved a declaration that
was a good man, and I don't know any one
VINO mas the right to so appreciate himself
And had come to the conclusion that per-
haps the best statement of my creed could be
iltted into the words L accept which to me
means that If in the law of nature my indi-
vidual spirit was to go back into the great
ocean of spirits, my one duty was to con-
form Lead Kindly Light all the gospel
had L accepted"
Materialsts who accept the Darwinan theory
OF evolution without any spiritual interpretations
declare that all of mans instincts, intuitions and
intellections are ultimately attributable to "a
desire for nutrition in a hostile environment" In
other words, they would have us believe that all
moral and mental processes can be reduced to
terms of digestion.
1t would be interesting TO hear how they would
explain these two last paragraphs of Lanes swan
song In terms of digestion, nutrition or even self
preservation
1t is much more logical to believe that such in
buttons spring from mans subconscousness that

THE EASIER PROBLEM.

In of his addresses at New York Monday
President Harding struck true note when he de-
claTed that the United States has dealt with the
greatest problem that humanity faced, in the
form of the great war and that therefore eve are
entitled to every confidence that will cope sue
cessfully with the problems that lie ahead"
1t has become the fashion to indulge in con-
siderable rhetoric regarding the great problems
of peace" Yet President Hdrding points out,
what those problems, momentous though they
be, when compared to the problems of war which
we helped the world solve? What is reconstruct
ton compared to the stemming of the tide of the
best organized destructive agency the world ever
saw, not excepting the cohorts of Alexander
Darius Xerxes Caesar, Napoleon? In 1917
every day the Germans baterng down the
bulwarks of the allies today, have the
seriousness that every hour slowly but
surely coming back to a normal state.
Then, shells and torpedoes destroying the
best works of Now, the entire world is turn
ing its thoughts to rebuilding that damage.
In this work rebuilding, we have only one
possible enemy-ourseves. If think in terms
of class rather than of mass in terms of the
individual rather than in terms of the common
veal our progress will be retarded.
If we cannot conquer selfish greed within u.s.
we are not worthy of other victories.

TEETH FOR THE VoLsTEAD LAW.

In an effort to check the fragrant violations of
the Vostead prohibition enforcement act that
seem to be prevalent in certain parts of the coun-
try, the house of representatives Monday voted
an additional 100000, to permit retention of 700
prohibition officers who about to be dropped
because of lack of funds wherewith to pay them.
Two hundred thousand dollars is small price
to pay for the prevention of violation of law. Re
peated disregard of a single statute in time breeds
contempt for all law, with all its attendant dis
asters.
The majority of the people of the United
States believe that the Volstead act should be
forced. The irreconcilable minority must be made
to pay for its infractions of the statute
