OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND

In view of the widespread DISPOSE
ton to disobey the laws it would be
well if our people would stop now
and then and think what it may ulti-
mately lead to. We have not only
the bootleggera, but the man who
patronizes him. We have the tax
dOdger, the speed fiend and the man
who violates traffic rules in every
conceivable way. We have those who
violate the fish and game laws; those
who fill the bitches along the public
roads with brush and briars, and those
who use water and lights without
paying for them.
We have the great crime wave that
has swept over our American cities
like an awful scourge in the past
year or two.
We have the utmost faith in the
good sense and patriotism of the
American people and in their ability
to overcome all these things, but the
tendency, if not checked, is toward
Bolshevism and anarchy.
Let parents, teachers and press
preach and teach a wholesome and
honest respect for the laws of the
land.
In this connection it would be well
to remember the words of Abraham
Lincoln:
Let every American, every lover Of
liberty, every well wisher to his pos
terity, swear by the blood Of the revo-
luton, never to violate in the least
particular the laws Of the country,
and never to tolerate their violation
by others. AS the patriots of seventy
six gave their support to the Declara-
ton of independence, and to the Con-
stitution and laws, so let every
American now pledge his life, his
pronerty and his sacred honor.
Let every man remember that to
violate one law is to trample on the
blood of his father and destroy the
charter of his own children's liberty.
Let reverence for the laws be breath
ed by every American mother to the
.lisping babe which prattles on her
lap; let it be taught in schools. in
seminaries and in colleges; let it be
written in primers, spelling books
and almanacs: let it be preached from
the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative
halls and enforced in the courts Of
justice. In short, let it become the
political religion Of the nation.

FATE OF SHOALS TO
COME BEFORE HOUSE

A decision will be reached by the
House this week on the Senate's plan
to authorize the United States army
to complete the governments nitrate
project at Muscle Shoals, Ala, it was
learned from administration leaders
Monday.
The Senate's proposal, embodied in
the army appropriation bill, reached
the House Wednesday, it was said,
from the conference held between SEN
ate and House conferees. The House
conferees, while reported as favoring
the Senate's proposal. will not make
any recommendations, but will put the
question directly up to the House
members for decision
A vote by the House to reject the
Senate's proposal. it was indicated,
would indefinitely tie up the appro-
priation bill, as Senate advocates Of
the plan to let the army complete
Muscle Shoals have declared they
would flight to the end" for their
proposal. On the other hand, House
proponents for acceptance of Henry
Ford's offer will endeaver to strike
out the plan on the ground that it will
prevent acceptance Of Ford's offer for
at least year.
With three slightly varying reports
from the military affairs committee
recommending acceptance of Ford's
offer also before the House, long
debate on the subject can not be
averted. Representative Mondell, Re-
publican floor leader, has announced
he will arrange for early consideration
of these reports, and it was indicated
they might be brought before the
House at the same time as the Senate
PROPOSAL. This would rive the House
a direct opportunity of choosing be-
tween the Ford and army plans.
If the House accepts the Senate
plan, even Ford supporters admitted
he would not be given the project for
at least year. With the precedent
established of having the army resume
construction work, it was also prob
able the Ford offer would be held up
for perhaps three years, the time

Rejection by the House of the army
plan on the other hand might easily
result in prevention Of any work at
Muscle Shoals for another year, as
the Senate was emphatic in favoring
resumption of work by the army. A
defeat of the army plan by the
House, it was indicated, probably
would result in the Senate rejecting
all consideration of the project for
this session of Congress.

GwINN AT JACKSON

Hon. L. E. Gwinn, of this city, can
didate for governor, delivered his
campaign address in Jackson Satur-
day afternoon before a large crowd
in the Madison county courthouse
and was accorded a SPLENDID reception.
Mr.. Gwinn followed the lines of his
address delivered elsewhere in the
state. and was frequently applauded,
especially in his discussion Of ques-
tions of taxation and his suggested
remedy. He declared that taxation in
Tennessee had become burdensome.
that it amounted practically to confis-
cation of the small mans property
and that relief must be had if there
is to be contented citizenship. He
scored the back tax machine and
urged fellow Democrats to help him
smash it.
Mr.. Gwinn's address was punctu-
ated with applause and he made a
splendid impression on Madison coun-
ty Democrats. He was accompanied
to Jackson by so or more Covington
ueople. and there were also several of
his friends from Finley, Brownsville
and Dyersburg with him.
Mr.. Gwinn was introduced to his
audience BY Harris Brown, editor Of
the Jackson Sun, former Covington
resident and personal friend Of the
candidate. who paid high tribute
to the splendid character and capa-
bility Of the speaker.
A brass band furnished several Sc
lections prior to the speaking. Mr.
Gwinn's friends claim that he will
carry Madison county.
Among those accompanying Mr.
Gwinn to Jackson were Wardlaw
Steele. Ripley; Gen. Nat linton, w.
NJ. Simonton, Charles P. Simonton
Covington; Gen. W. K. Alternately,
Selmer, and T. 0. Bond, Brownsville.

What we need in Tennessee is a
