Judge S. R. Bratton is at home this
week, the Legislature having adj
journed for the regular two weeks
recess. Mr.. Bratton is a member of
the lower house from Obion, and has
been moving heaven and earth to
prevent the wholesale abuse of the
power to appropriate public funds.
MFR. Bratton tells us that Mr.. Lee
Duke, of Lake County, has also used
his influence in that direction.
There seem to be in Tennessee, and
in many other States, two contend
ing forces-one to keep the taxes
down and the other to promote all
sorts of schemes for the appropria
ton of public funds. How in the
world these forces are to be recon-
ciled no one can venture guess. If
this thing continues in Congress as
we'll as in the State assemblies gen
eral reputation and bankruptcy will
be unavoidable. If the Federal gov
eminent persists in these things the
bonds that the patriotic people in
vested all their savings in will be
worth very little and our national
credit seriously impaired.

Rendering Service.

! We are glad to note that during
the last few months there has been
general awakening among the peo-
| Pile along the line of service. This
seems to be a time when people are
really anxious to do real service in
any way possible. Think of our Sun
day schools how they are growing in
attendance and interest. l think !
have never seen more interest mani
tested in the Sunday school work
than is now being done. The children
are there, the young people are there,
the middle aged are there and many
of our older ones are coming, and
they all seem to have a special in
terest in the work.
1t seems that in many instances
the parents are no longer saying to
their children as in former days, go
along now to Sunday school," but
they are saying now, Come and let
us go" and that is as it should be.
In our school at the Methodist
Church last Sunday we had 1855 pres
ent, seven new pupils added to the
roll and Is visitors. And from start
to finish there was not a dragging
moment. We have wide awake
superintendent in the person Of Mr..
Chas. DietZel, who Is ably assisted
by Mr.. Chas. Keiser and they have
the support of splendid corps of
teachers and officers l understand
that the ofher churches Of the town
are enjoying the same great bless
ings-that their schools are also
growing in number and enthusiasm.
Friends, let us all be the kind of
Christians God would have us be and
not work in competition one with
ing to get every man, woman and
child into the Sunday school, not
just trying to get those who would
come. our way but trying to get each
one into the school where he or she
rightly belongs. What better work
could we do than to fill our churches
to overlooking with Sunday school
attendants? 1t is also great bless
ing to see so many of the Sunday
school people staying for the church
service. We are glad to have so
many Of our young people with us.
They are the hope of our country;
we owe them our best. Pardon me
for what am about to say, but let
us regardless of denomination bestir
until we have touched ev-
cry life and home in our little city |
and make Sunday school and church |
attendants out of every one possible. |
Where is there better town or peo-
pie than we have here? Then let us
continue to grow until we become |
real servants of our fellow man and |
of God. E. M. MATHIS.

CAUCUS ON TARIFF
WITHOUT AGREEING
Split in House Avoided by
Not Taking Action on the
Longworth Bill.

A split in the republican ranks Of
the house over the Longworth tariff
resolution was avoided last night
when a party caucus was adjourned
without action by motion of Re-
publican Leader Mondell
So much opposition developed TO
the resolution in its present form
that it was probable that IL any ac-
tion had been taken 1t would have
been adverse to the adoption of the
resolution in advance of the report
ing of the permanent tariff bill to
the house.
Under the resolution the ways
and means committee would be au-
thorized to include a clause in the
permanent tariff bill making the
rates of duty effective at once. Op-
ponents of the resolution who con-
tended that this was a delegation
of power in violation of the consti-
tuition expressed Willingness to ac-
cept the plan to make the rates ef-
fective when reported. provided the
resolution is not pressed until that
