the past few months, but the work of
completion so far as the brick work is
concerned. had not been attempted
until few weeks ago, as sufficient
fund for this purpose had mot been
raised. However the progressive
citizens of Baxter, with the assist

November, and it Is gratifying to

wonderful success, and the $4,000,

PIEDMONT
LYCEUM M
N U NJ BERS

On Tuesday evening at the city
school auditorium, the first number
Of the Lyceum Course, sent by the
Piedmont Lyceum Bureau of Ashe-
vile, N. c., under the auspices Of the
Tennessee Polytechnic, was given to
a capacity house. and pronounced by
all to be one of the very best music
al entertainments ever given in
Cookeville.
This first number was the Tschai-
kowsky Quartette, led by Mr.. Leon
Weltman, accompanied by three
musical artists, and a dramatic in
terpreter. The music was classical
and the many music lovers Of Cooke
vile were completely carried away,
as was evidenced by the responsive
manner in which they received the
numbers. Encore after encore was
rendered the artists, who seemingly
appreciated the responsive feeling Of
their audience, for they were most
obliging in responding to the many
encores received.
The second number of the course
will be given at the same place next
Tuesday evening, Dec. 6, when Mr..
Louis Williams, Electrical Magician.
will give an entertainment, which
will be of great interest to all class
es Of people, and will be an enter
tainment of the very highest type.
Cookeville people should patronizs
these for they are both entertaining
and instructive,

OUR WASHINGTON
NEWS LETTER
Especial Correspondence

Washington, d. c., Nov. 2S.-Con-
fession that the Republican party is in
competent to frame and pass a tax
bill that will meet the needs of the
government and the expectations of
he people was made By Senator Reed
SmoOt (Rep., Utah. when he said:
After carefully comparing the bill
with the existing law l reached the
conclusion that some, If only slight
improvement, was offered by it. At
the same time do not regard the
bill as the kind of tax revision meas
use the people OF this country are en-.
titled to. On the other hand, am
fearful of the effect ON the country
Of further delay in letting 1t know
what taxes are to be paid next
year. After all, the bill can only be
regarded as a temporary one, which
is certain to be set aside next year
when real tax revision must be un-
deraken."
The full force of this confession of
the incompetence of his party by one
of it's ablest leaders can best be un-
derstood in the light of brief his
tory of the way in which the Repub-
lican party has first delayed and then
muddles tax revision.
Following the Congressional elec-
tions of 1918, when the Republican
party came into power in both Hous-
es, there was an insistent demand
by Republican leaders, especially by
Mondeil and others in the House for
a special session, in order, as they
said, to revise the tax laws and ad-
just them to the transition period be-
tween war and peace.
Preident Wilson called a special
session and on May 20, 1919, in a
special message outlined the princi-
pies of tax revision which should be
and specifically recommend
ed changes to be made. The Repub-
lican Congress fiddled and fooled away
The entire period of it's existence
without coming he relief of busi-
ness or doing anything to adjust
axes to changed conditions.
At the last national election an
,ther Congress, Republican, in both
branches, by large majoities was
elected. After special session,
which lasted eight months, it has
Produced a tax bill, which great
,arty leader and authority like Sen
tor Smoot OF Utah says is only
lightly better than the old war-tax
ystem-a tax bill framed and pass
d hurriedly and under great stress
4 providing the government with
evenues to run great war;
He further confesses that the bill
, only a makeshift, temporary con.
rivance, certain to be set aside next
ear, which means that before bust
ess can adjust itself to the new
wv, before the administrative fea- =
Tres OF the law can be passed upon 7
Y the courts, that the law itself is r
, be set aside, and that he Republi- 4
ans must again resume their tinker .
lg and bungling Of subject which r
ley admit they do not understand. n

LITTLEiTHOUCHTS
ON BIG TOPICS
By F. w. Barber

The United States has spoken
Briefly, America proposes to take
the lead in the scrapping of warships
and the practical suspension of naval
construction for period of ten years.
The buck is at the feet of the ma
tions OF the old world. They can
not pass 1t. Neither can they kick
it aside. They must act, for or
against.
If they sincerely desire peace can
have it by adopting the simple ex-
pedient Of meeting the eminently fair
proposition OF this country.
If they have secret leanings to-
wards future wars and conquest they
will haggle and hedge and the con.
ference will fail of its purpose.
The world is holding its breath.
Whether the final outcome is to be
permanent peace and the reduction
of the heavy burdens of armament
remains to be seen.
Europe has yet to speak.

ClNliZcu WolIu are cdTueSIly uOpluS
for solution of the arms question
that will bring continued and last.
ing peace to the earth. But what the
people desire, and what govern
ments will do, are often widely at
variance.
Delegates from the principal world
powers represented in Washington
were quick to rally from the stunning
blow administered by Secretary
Hughes. They accepted in principle
the American proposals, but qualified
their acceptance with the statement
that the actual working out of such
revolutionary plan would depend
mainly upon he possibility of their
experts and advisers being able to
reach a common ground of under
standing.
Therein lies the great danger, and
it is grave indeed.
These technical advisers" may
rise to the supreme occasion and
liberate the world from the blight of
war. Then again they may not. No
one knows in advance just what an
expert will do or say. Teen --..-lty
is their god, the shrine at which the,
worship. They live in an atmosphere
of their own, out of touch and out OF
harmony with the mass of the people.
