CANADIAN ELECTION.

Like the voters of America year
ago, the Canadian voters have repu-
dated their war government Every
government that engaged in the
world war, on both sides has suffered
the same fate, except alone that of
David Lloyd George in England. But
it does not appear to have been war
issues but the tariff that caused the
change in Canada. The Meighan gov
eminent, or conservative party, stands
for a high protective tariff while the
Liberals, who won sweeping victo-
ry, advocate reciprocity with Ameri-
distinct reversal on this issue of
that rendered by the people in 1911
when the liberals after fifteen years
lease of power were driven from office
on the question of low tariff and reci-
procity with America The people
voted for high protective system.
However, as a matter of fact the
issue of loyalty to the mother country
had more to do with the defeat of rec
iprocity and low tariff schedules in
1911 than anything else. The unfor
tunate break of the late Speaker
Champ Clark in urging the passage
of the Canadian reciprocity measure,
gave the conservatives their winning
battle cry. Clark, who although
most loyeable man aud eloquent
speaker, was never a discreet states
man. declared in speech to the
house that the passage of the reciproc-
ity bill would be the entering wedge
that would separate Canada from the
mother country and mean its ulti,
mate annexation to the United States.
Being speaker of the popular branch
of our national legislature his words
carried great weight in Canada and
were eagerly seized upon by the Con-
servative party leader, Sir Robert
Borden. Clark's statement was bitter
ly resented by the Canadians who
three years later were to give indy
ing proof of teir loyalty to Great Brit
ain in the blood and treasure that
they poured out in defense of the en-
pire Thus Clark's indiscretion de-
feated measure that would have
been highly profitable to both coun-
trics

THE POLK MEMORIAL.

II the citizens. through the various
organizations, the women's federation
of clubs, the bar association the
American Legion and other orders will
get squarely behind the movement to
have the state purchase the home of
James Knox Polk, president of the
United States and preserve it as a
memorial to one of the three Tonnes
scans who have held the highest ex-
ecutive station in the world the legis-
lature will make a suitable response.
There is an ever increasing sentiment
among the people of this state in ia
vor of preserving the historic places
of the state. This was manifested
during the last session of the legisla-
ture in the appropriation to buy and
maintain the tailor shop of Andrew
Johnson and to provide a suitable
monument for David Crockett.
OF course any discussion of the uses
to be made of the Polk home after it
is acquired by the state as a memorial
is out of order and improper. 1t
would only be acquired by the state
as memorial to a president of the
United States whose administration
shed undying glory, upon The state
and the federal union The lustre of
Polk administration can never fade.
The purchase of the home at the
states expense would not be justi-
fed if it were intended to be used for
local utilitarian purposes. But it
sould be preserved as perpetual me-
mortal to Polk and it's rooms should
be used as a repository of every SOU
venir, memento and tangible evidence
of his life and career and of the events
of that wonderful period in the histo-
ry of the state and nation.
The Herald suggests the organiza
ton of a Polk Memorial Association
patterned after the Hermitage Asso-
citation that has cared for and admin
istered the Hermitage estate of the
great Tennessean who was first elect
ed to the presidency.

HEAVIEST FALLING OFF SHOWN
IN NUMBER TAGS SOLD FOR

INCREASED, NUMBER OF AUTOS
Highway Revenue of County Is Cut
Several Thousand Dollars by Fail

Tax.

(From Wednesday Daily Herald
Despite the drastic methods employ
ed by County Court Clerk Arch w.
Lipscomb in the collection of wheel
tax for 1921, collection for the year
will be for under those Of 1920.
Up until the present time, and with
only fifteen more days of the year re-
naming the tax has been paid on
nearly 900 less vehicles this year than
in 1920.
A heavy falling off is shown on the
number of license tags sold for bug
gies. In the year 1920 no less than
1886 tags were issued while this year
only 2,SSS tags have been sold.
A still heavier falling off is shown
in the number of tags sold for wagons.
During 1920 1858 wagon tags were is
sued, while the total number for the
present year is only 1858, or a falling
Off on an even 500.
The number of automobile licenses
issued for the present year, however,
shows an increase over the twelve
months of 1920. In 1920 tags were is
sued for only 1,766 automobiles, while
up until the present time for this
year tags have been sold for 1854 mo-
ton I,iynn uahio1oc
The vehicle tags sold in 1920 to-
tailed 7,4S5, while the sales for the
present year run only to 6,625, a fall

average of So each would give total
collection of some S. 160 less for high
way purposes than was collected last
ear
Within another fifteen days the
present wheel tax law will pass into
history, and will be supplanted by the
Looney road law, passed by the last
session of the legislature. The wheel
tax law has always proven most I'M
popular, and payment of the tax was
secured this year only through the is
suance of hundreds of distress war
rants in all sections of the county.

HENRY CLAY EVANS.

In the death of, II. Clay Evans, for
half century prominent figure in
the republican party OF his state and
nation, some of the most stirring and
bitterest political contests knowns to
the annals of Tennessee are recalled.
Evans was strong and vigorous char.
acter, man of intense convictions
and partisan in the days when the
feeling between the democrats and re.
publicans was intense because they
largely grew out of the civil war and
reconstruction.
Thirty CIR thirty-fiye years ago Ev-
ans was the most heartily hated man
among all of the republicans of the
South by the partisan democrats. He
lived through that age of intense par
tisanship and to see his adopted state
three times elect republican COVER
nors. He also lived to be himself
elected by his fellowcitizens of Chat
tanooga city commissioner on a non
partisan ticket. But when feeling was
the highest in the state, in the eigh-
ties and nineties, when in many sec
tions to vote the republican ticket
meant not only political but social
ostracism, Evans was the most dis
tinguished member of his party.
He lived to personally know many
who had in those days quite heartily
hated him, and in the days when the
asperity of those campaigns survived
only in memory he made many of his
old time foes his warm personal
friends For Mr.. Evans had most
engaging personality. He was bril-
liant cOnversationalist. His service
abroad gave him a wide range of in
formation, broadened his outlook and
made him one of the most delight
full companions one ever had the good
fortune to know He forgot the ami
mosities of more stirring days in the
era of better feeling that came into
the politics of his state and enjoyed
with political opponents hearty
laugh over the exaggerations of those
times.
Mr.. Evans moved to Tennessee
shortly after the close of the great
war between the states and in many
he had to answer to the
charge of carpet Dagger" In fact
when all other arguments against the
of this adopted son had
been used the democrats angrily
shouted yankee carpet Dagger"
Aside from his political career Mr..
Evans lived a useful and busy life.
He was one of the pioneers in the de-
Of the wealth of mineral
resources about Chattanooga and he
helped materially in making that one
of the chief industrial cities Of the
South. He promoted and was a lead.
ing owner of the old Roane Iron Com
pany with huge plants at lockwood.
He amassed fortune and was always
regarded as one of the safest and most
capable business men of Chattanooga

ment of this character between the
four greatest powers on cath, for the
mutual adjustment o RI differences
that may arise betwc "A them Is about
as sure a guarantee of peace in the
Pacific as could well be made. II
England, France, Japan and America
are at peace there is little indication
that there could be for generation
or more any world disturbance. Amer
lea and England together should be
tho guardians Of the peace and hap
piness of the world, the great trustees
of civilization and one of the strong,
est arguments for the four power treat
ty is that 1t is definitely and forever
abrogates the Anglo-Japanese treaty.
Objections to the ratification of the
pact on the ground that America must
avoid "entangling alliances" is puerile.
America in this day and time cannot
live apart from the world. The ma
lions of earth are actually in point of
communication and trade closer to-
gether today than they were when
Washington uttered his celebrated
warning. Wise as was that great and
good man he did not see the tremen-
dous development that would take
place in transportation in the century
that followed his death. America can
not isolate herself from the rest of the
world. That fact was definitely recog-
nized in the world war. Are all of the
sacrifices in that struggle to have
been made in vain simply to preserve
hoary tradition? VIZ.
The world eagerly awaits action
from the arms conference that will
minimize the dangers of war and that
will In part at least remove the crush,
ing burdens of ornaments. The four
power treaty is in part an answer to
the prayers and the yealning of man
kind for peace, for an opportunity to
repair the ravages of the awful hala-
cause of 1914-191S. 1t would truly
break the heart of the world" il mar.
row craftsmanship should be permitted
to defeat the lofty purpose of the men
who labor to translate will to peace
into something definite and tangible
as a guarantee of concord among the
nations.
Opposition to the treaty may be ex
pected from the racial groups in
Americai. from those so-called Ameri-
can citizens who are still more inter
ested in, the country of their births
in its hates and enmities than they are
in the welfare of their adopted land
The racial groups, the hyphens among
the citizenship of America, had much
to do with the defeat althogether of
the covenant of the league of nations.
But the senate now has the opportuni
ty to show this dsloyal element that
it is impotent where it conflicts with
the interests of the nation and with
its obligations to all humanity.
