b. A. ENLOE CROSSES
THE "GHEAT DIVIDE

Hon. B. A. Enloe, one of the mos
CONSPICUOUS figures in Tennessee poll
tics, died in Nashville last Saturda,
night at the age of IA years. Col
Enloe was born in Carroll county ant
his first political experience was as {
member Of the Legislature from that
county in 1872-just 48 years ago.
&C From 1874 until 1885 he was editol
of the Jackson Tribune and Sun anc
in 1887 he became a member OF Con.
gress, served four terms and in 1885,
was defeated by John Z. Mccall, o.
Lexington, who was the beneficiary
of the then populite vote and the vic.
tim of a Democratic revolt, for il will
be remembered that even here in Hen
derson county lifelong Democrats
voted and worked against him. Mr.
McCall's election was the result OF an
accidental political upheavel, as
shown by the fact that he served but
one term.
After his retirement from Congress
Mr.. Enloe was engaged for time in
newspaper work in Louisville, after
which he came back to Tennessee and
edited supposedly anti-croporation
paper in Tennessee-which failed to
make good-for in those days the
railroads and Victor Emanuel Swab,
of Nashville, mostly ran the affairs
of the State so far as the legislature
was concerned.
In 1905 Mr.. Enloe was elected a
member Of the State Railroad Com
mission, made its chairman and con-
timed in tire capacity until his death
and was prevented only by declining
health from again standing for re-
election. He was elected one time as
an independent Democrat and was
again elected on the commission as a
regular nominee.
We remember the years one after
another that we fought Mr.. Enloe as
a candidate for Congress, but we lived
to see the day that we stood strong
ly with him and heartily wished his
election to the United States Senate
---principally because Of the very ab]e
campaign he conducted In behalf OF
the Independent, anti-whisky revolt
which put Ben Hooper in the Govern
or's chair, eliminated Ham Patterson
from Tennessee politics, passed the
Statewide anti-liquor laws and final
ly gave this commonwealth a "free
and untrammeled" Supreme court.
Mr.. Enloe had his ups and downs
in life and never did reach that
heighth to which his splendid ability
entitled him. Had he kept on, as he
was well-equipped to do when he was
in Congress, he might have climbed to
the greatest heighths in the gift Of
the people.
As Chairman of the State Railroad
Commission and later as chairman
of the State Utilities commission,
during his long incumbency, Col. En-
loe was regarded as the strong man
Of the body, regardless of the other
members who have served ON it.

SEES NO END TO
CORN BELT DR0UTH

Chicago, July IA continuation Of
the drouth that has prevailed for the
past forty-five days in the corn belt
was predicted yesterday by Prof
Henry j. Cox, official government
weather forcaster.
June was the dryest month of any
for fifty-two years, according to
weather records. From the 2Sth Of
May, the date of the last rainfall of
any consequence, to the present time
there has been total rainfall of Ia
inches.
Prof. Cox said that he had received
hundreds of calls from farmers ask
ing him for reasons for the dry spell,
and pleading with him ito make
rain" for the crops, lawn, grass and
trees and other products before they
are dried beyond recognition.-Ban-
ner.

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS PENALTY.

The delinquent revenue statute OF
1921, providing a method for collect
ing delinquent taxes on real estate,
was construed by the supreme court
Saturday to provide for the taxation
against the land owner of a penalty
of 15 per cent, to be pro-rated be-
tween the state and the county, and
an additional penalty of Is per cent
as compensation to the revenue agent,
whenever the tax is collected by
means of suit filed against the tax
payer by the revenue agent, as pro-
vided in the act.
The statute in question provides
that on June 1st after a real estate
tax becomes delinquent, penalty Of
5 per cent accrues, and if the tax is
not paid prior to January 1st, follow
ing, an additional penalty of ten per
cent accrues, both penalties to be pro-
rated by the trustee between the state
and county as part Of the state and
county revenue. A subsequent pro-
vision of the statute providing that in
the event the tax is collected by suit
instituted after January 1, by the
revenue agent, the proceeds derived
from thes sale of the real estate in
question in such a proceeding should
be applied to the payment of all costs
and penalties including the Is per
cent penalties to the revenue agent on
the gross account Of tax, interest and
penalties due the state, county and
municipality" as compensation to the
revenue agent for his services in fill
ing suit, was held by the court to i'm
pose an additional 10 per cent penal
ty, in the the even the tax is collect
ed by suit, of so per eent.-Wm. II.

BOIL wEEyIL DOING
DAMAGE IN COUNTY

The boil weevil pest is evidently do
ing more damage in Henderson coun-
ty than any former year since it first
came in 1916. After its appearance in
1916, there was no infestation in 1917
and but little if any in 1918, which
was accounted for by an unprecedent-
edly cold winter of 1917-1S. The
greater damage this time is said to be
in the Southern part of the county
and what it viii finally amount to is
as yet matter of conjecture.

sHOPMEN STRIKE STILL ON.

The strike Of the railroad shopmen
is still on--and conditions are not i'm
proving, for the reason that when in
telligent supervision is removed from
any department of railroad operation,
the lives of the travelling public are
endangered. The NC is Is credited
with having much Of poor rolling
stock at best and when It Is sent out
of the shops without skilled care,
there is grave danger.

THE STATEMENT by a prominent Chicago jurist that justice is for the rich and not the poor is terrible in- dictment against conditions. For many years the common people, meaning those who labor with their hands, have suspected that this was the case, but 1t remains for judge to give the facts to the world. When one sees justice administered to the rich and the "law'' administered to the poor, it is amazing that the people stand 1t. Take the case of Jafet Lindeberg, as an example. Do you suppose that Lindeberg would be able to escape arrest if he was a poor man. He would have been behind the bars long ere this. The reason Justice is depicted blindfolded is because 1t is not desired that she witness the crimes perpetrated in her name.

IT IS POPULAR at the present time for the press and pulpit to harangue their customers upon the evils of the motion picture business. Even the judges take fall out of the business occasionally when sentencing crimi
 nals. But is this right? So far as we have seen, movie actors are like the rest of us. Underneath their over
 plus of egotism and artificiality they are in no whit dissimilar from you ol me- Give us big money, little to do
 and perpetual applause and we might become so inflated over our impor
 tance that we would become irrespon
 sibie The movies are the greatest edu cator of the modern times. The coolie
 the bushman and the savage can see
 and seeing is akin to believing. The celluloid is the universal educator o1 modern times. There is much that is bad in the business, but there is muct more that is good The many should not be judged for the frailties of the few.

MANY legislators and business men are talking division of the Territory. In case this is done the First division will be territory by itself, leaving Alaska proper another territory. The time is fast approaching when some such division must be made. Develop ment and population are moving north. ward at a rapid rate. With the capi- tai six hundred miles nearer where the bulk of the business originates it will mean less expense to the greater part of Alaska's citizens.
