TRANSPARENT GLASS

Senator Glass of Virginia,
with the consistent inconsis-
tency of southerners, is insis-
tent upon the enforcement of
t h Eighteenth amendment,
and wants federal agents sent
into the different states to en-
force it, but is equally insistent
that the Fourteenth and Fiji
teenth amendments shall not
be enforced in the southern
states. His line of argument
by which he justifies, or at
tempts to justify, his inconsis-
tent position, of which he
seems sublimely unconscious, is
far from Illuminating or con-
vincing and one wonders how
a learned southern senator
could seriously submit such
speciousness and delude him
self into thinking it an argu-
ment. Southern myopia on the
race question explains it.
Senator Glass overlooks the
fact that the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth m n d ments are
equally as much part of the
Constitution of the United
States as is the Eighteenth, and
as such should be enforced.
Of course, they have been null
lifted, but this notification is
wrong and indefensible. Loyal
Americans should stand for the
enforcement of the Constitu-
ton. Senator Glass is a multi
ficationist of the same kidney
as those who in other sections
oppose the enforcement of the
Eighteenth amendment.
The Virginia senator's atti-
tude, though inconsistent, is
quite transparent. Some glass
is opaque, and some glass is
transparent.

Cautiously, so as not to
frighten the timid, our daily
papers inform us that the
strike of theatrical employees
has necessitated the calling
out of every available police
officer to guard the theaters.
Several amusement houses
have been bombed, others
have had their audiences
sprayed with vile fluids and by
whom? The ruffian element
that has wormed its way into
the labor movement-the ia
natical, half-baked element
the laWless minority that ever
seeks to rule by terror where
it can never hope to rule by
number.
And this telroristic element
has reason to feel it's safety in
the present strike. It has seen
gunner boldly stalk the streets
of this city in search of their
prey. It has seen gunner shoot
down men in cold blood and
go unscathed. It has seen thugs
and gangsters roam the city,
unmolested. and it has seen
their known shaunts go unraid-
ed by the police. II has seen
more than that: It has seen
known gangsters walk brazen-
ly into the office of our Chief
Of Police and jauntily walk out
again-smiling.
1t has seen Tor read the ac-
counts OFF gangsters sforcibly
entering q business house and
destroying an entire stock of
goods with powerful acids, club
the, protesting proprietor into
submission, climb in their car
and drive away-to safety.
1t has seen the police de-
partment used to suppress the
only publication in'the city that
dared call the public's atten-
ton to these crimes of the
underworld. And, seeing these
things, the ruffian element in
the ranks of labor, has grown
bold. It feels that our police
department is a thing to be
laughed at but not feared
and ! am inclined to think they
have the right view.
Put an EFFICIENT man at
the head of our police depart
ment-a man who dared call
gangland to a halt-a man who
had the moral if not physical,
courage to take a stand with
men who HAD the quits to defy
death and ,gangsters and see
how suddenly the bombing of
theaters in this city would stop.

Last year this State Cotton Contest

2,450 pounds of lint on three acres at
cost of SIC per pound. In 1925
young Adams won the second prize in
this contest. Elstner Beall won first
prize in this contest for 1925 and 1924,
and this year finished fourth. Both
boys in recognition of their accom-
plshments were members of the
Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational
Bureau party The Tennessee Cotton

raised 1926 pounds on the fve-acre
area. The 1926 Cotton champion of

dueed 1,071 bales on 1,071 acres.
