Hon. A. A. Taylor said in a speech
at Cleveland, East Tennessee, last
Saturday that Gov. Aft Taylor in his
campaign for reelection is not men,
tioning other Republican nominees or
the national administration. However,
he is admitting to be and running as
a strong Republican in East Tennes-
see-but as the brother of "Our Bob"
in the Democratic sections. Mr.. Peay
charges that during the last legisla-
ture Uncle Aft could not even control
the Republican members--and if he
has remedied a single existing evil,
he is charged to the contrary. 1t is
said that the present inquitous back
tax law under which bill will be
filed in Chancery court the first Of
next January against each and every
1921 delinquent property tax payer,
has place on the statutes by virtue of
Gov. Taylor's approval.

Gov. Taylor admits that he can do
nothing with Democratic legislature.
which ne says has a spirit of spite
against him-then why go through
the farce of another two years just to
continue Gov. Taylor's ambition and
to enable him to make State appoint

from his pie counter by the late and
generally unlamented General Assem-
bly,? And, by the way, the Republi-
cans in that body seemed to have as
much spite" against Gov. Taylor as
did the Democrats.

The. official ballot In Oregon, to be
voted November 7th, will contain "a
proposal to force all parents and gura-
dams to send all children between 8
and l6 years of age to the public
schools and the Democratic nominee
for Governor has endorsed the bill,
while his Republican opponent fought
it in the primaries and won by a scant
majority. The Ku Klux are said to be
strong in Oregon and being an anti
Catholic organization will vote for
this anti-Catholic measure. The in
stigators of this movement will sacri-
flee aeverything in order to reach the
Catholics and the bill if adopted will
make a clean sweep of all parochia
schools, Catholic and Protestant, pri-
yate institutions of all sorts. from
to military, and school teach
ers will have to be provided for ap-
proximately 10000 children who are
now in private and parochial schools.

President Harding seems to be the
only man who has discovered the
greatness of the present &. o. p. Con-
gress-- and he has transmitted that
discovery in a letter to Representative
Mondell, of Wyoming, Republican

been many expressions of the belief
that the present Congress is the
worst in so years-or over.

While we hear that Congressman
Lon Scott is "chiding" Capt. Gordon
Browning his Democratic opponent,
for the act of the last legislature,
which jerrymandered Hardeman and
Fayette counties into the Eighth Con-
gressional district, we nave not heard
of Mr. Scott telling that Gov. Taylor
signed the bill on the Congressman's
own statement that he had no objec-
ton to it. We know and all know that
such steps are taken by the Demo-
cratic party in the South land the
same reason prevailed in extension of
the Dortch law to othe whole state
and the 60-days in advance payment
of poll tax requirement. for the pur-
pose of eliminating the negro vote. In
Fayette and Hardeman counties the
whites, to the greatest extent, will
vote for Browning, the Democratic
nominee, and the negroes, to the
greatest extent, will not vote at all.

METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

We rejoice to see 50 many mem
bers, friends and felloW-citizcn up
and well again, after suffering at
tacks Of the "dangue.
The incumbents Of the parsonage
are indebted to our good ncighbors
who expressed their sympathy du"-
ing the illness of Mrs. Sparks, espc-
ri,i4y those who sent in such appe-
tizing dainties as dove, venlson,
soup, fish, etc.
1t seems, however, that after all
is done that can be done by phys
.lans, loved ones, friends, etc, that
here are times during this peculiar
disease that the patient suffers 50
that they don't care for anything or
anybody. At any rate those of Us
who have escaped so far are not az
al anxious to learn about it from
experience.
We are glad to note the continued
interest in all church services dur
.ng these rather trying days.
Trying days"(?) Can you imagine
how it would be if we were among
he victims Of that heathenish ani
unprecedented Smyrna tragedy in the
Near East?
If nothing is being done here yat,
is a shame and a disgrace, OF al

zens were thoroughly familiar with
facts, as the reading public surely IS

President Harding, the Literary Di-
est, the Christian Herald, the Red
Cross and other such organizations,
and cooperate in such a way thai
there may be sent in from Franklin
