July Fourth Recalls Story Of The Little Lost State Of Franklin
Pioneers Sought To Add 10th Star
 To The Flag
'tBy NEA serylce)

t;hsrished among traditions or the highlanders of eastern Ten- ncgsee and western North Carolina Ia the story of the lost state of Franklin, born to Q short and tur- bulent career during the 17S0's.
 But for events which brought the citizens ot the new mountain state back sinto North Carolina. Americans this July 4th would be saluting flag with II stripes and go stars.
 There's peace to-day in tho hill country, but 1t was not that wny in the days that followed tho Revolution. Whom the pioneers were not fighting Indians they were occupied with political squabbles among themselves. or with the parent state of North Carolina.
 After the Revolution. came tho financial reckoning, and congress called on states with vacant lands to cede them to the federal gov. ernment. Money from their sale and from taxation was to be ap- piled to the national debt. North Carolina gave the central govorn- ment a two years option on her western land, which by charter extended to the Pacific ocean. North Carolina meantime was to exercise sovereignty. 6s r
 The region was romote. and difficult to govern, and there WAS continual demand for money to wage Indian wars. Tho settlers grumbled and protested.
 So early in 17s4 convention was called to meet in Jonesboro, tho largest settlement in tho sce- ton. Delegates from tho coun- ties of Washington, Sullivan and Green, which include nearly all of what is now Tennessee, de. elared themselves c separate and independent state from North Carolina.
 A constitution was drawn, legislature elected. and other gov- ernmental machinery established. At first the state was called Frankland--land of free nion-- but later the name was changed to Franklin In honor of Benjamin Franklin. tig
 Meantime the legislature of North Carolina, alarmed by tho attitude of the settlers, repealed tho act of cesslon and set up goy- ernmental bodies for tho rebeill- ous territory. f
 A John Sevier. colorful hcro of the Revolution and Of Indian cam paigns--he is credited with the victory In the Battle Of Kings Mountain--was sent as command or of militia to the western tcrri- tory He advised the cItizcns of Franklin to accept the overturGs of North Carolina. They answered by electing him gevernor of the new state. ,as

What Would He Do?

One Of the classic stories of an.
cient history Is that Of Joseph, who
told the Pharaoh the meaning of his
dream and warned him to save dur
ing the years OF plenty in order that
the people might eat during the lean
years to come.
It was simple, sound advice and
sufficient for its day, but one won
ders what would happen to poor
Joseph II he were called upon to do
q bit of modern soothsaying. The
problem now is how to get the bulg-
ing granaries empty in order that
we may grow more to put in them;
how to reduce the number Of pigs
and cows and beef cattle, In order
that we may again go forward joy
ously with the work Of producing
more: how to eliminate host Of
things which the world needs in order
that wheels may turn again and men
may have work.
It Is probable, however, that the
old ancient would not begin with the
problem at all. If he had, in his
reincarnation, the wisdom with
which he formerly was credited, he
probably would proceed on the theory
that there really was no problem;
that neither the Pharaoks nor the
people had shown any vast amount
Of intelligence.

Mr.. Presdent-the country cannot survive"
Abraham Lincoln got plenty Of information like
that when he was in the white house. It came some
of the time, from some OF the most prominent men
in the country There seemed, when 1t was given,
little to doubt that it was the exact truth.
In the field, 1t seemed hopeless to expect that
any northern general could be found to check the
gray-cad armies. In foreign relations, 1t was per-
fectly obvious that England and France were def
ntely antagonstic to the federal cause at one time
England was rushing troops to Canada to get ready
for the expected war with the United States.
In the capital itself there was division Of SEN
timent. One Of Lncolns most prominent cabinet
members was schening to get himself nominated for
the presidency in Lincons place. At one time 1t was

conservative by any means. Norris is
not ready to play tail to Senator
Longs political kite.
Outside the Democratic group is
Senator Cutting, nominally Repub-
lican but political bolter who climb
ed the Roosevelt band-wagon after
it got pretty well under way. He
Is being mentioned as a cabinet DOS
sibility.
Just why the Democratic leaders In
the Senate should want to leave PROM
tnent posts for cabinet positions, some
Of which are not places as powerful
as seats in the most deliberative body
in the world, is hard to understand.
Take Senator Glass for instance. He
served President Wilson ably as Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury and certainly
has all the honor that could accrue
to him from that post. Why step
down from q more powerful political
post to one OF less Importance?
Now that the Senate Is composed
Of many who would embark upon an
orgy Of currency initiation, 1t would
seem that Roosevelt, who has come
out firmly against initiation and for
sound currency, would keep such men
as Glass and Walsh in the Senate
where he will need just such q check
on those who are prone to follow
after false political gods. Shades Of
William Jennings Bryan now hover
over Congress. There is an insistent
demand for the e-monetization of
silver in the ratio Of Is to /. Senator
Wheeler. one of Roosevelt's most ar
dent supporters, would carry on
where Bryan left off. The only con-
cession Roosevelt has made to the
free silverites is promise of an in
ternational conference to consider the.
reconciliation of the baser metal.
The protest that has been raised
against recruiting so many cabinet
members from the Senate may force
Roosevelt to revise his slate. There
will be mary new men in the next
Senate and at no time In the history
of the nation Is leadership more need
ed than now. Senator'S Glass and
Walsh can certainly play a more pow
erful role in the Senate than In the
cabinet.

The Voice of TOlstOy
(ChiraUn Trih,inol

The name Of TolStoy, with respect
to Russia, Is q synonym for the pro-
foundest sympathy and compassion
stirred by the plight Of people under
the lash and the yoke. In fact, COM
passion In the great Tolstoy's case
finally tortured the man into a mem
tai arrangement in which he died, old
and broken and seeing sanctuary In
the soil which could have produced
so much happiness in Russia and
produced 50 much misery.
In Tuesdays Voice Of the People
there appeared q letter from Tolstoy's
daughter, now living In Pennsylvania,
crying out in the same spirit Of Bit
terness which had made her fathers
reflections upon the human state in
Russia 50 moving q denunciation of
the tyranny causing distress and deg
radiation.
The tyranny has changed it's form
but not its substance, and TolstoyS
daughter sees the tragedy OF the
changed form as her father saw the
other. TO the rational mind it makes
no difference that one atrocity was
called czaristic and the other prole-
tartan. AS between grand duke and
commissar compassion can make no
distinction. nor do facts permit dis
tinction to be made. The peasant
whose goods are appropriated and
whose protests are silenced by gun
shots can see no difference between
the old Cossack Of the imperial guard
and one of Stains Red butchers.
There Is starving where there could
Be plenty. The soviet Is not less .
monster than the circle Of privileged
and titled nobility. The theology OF
soviet dictatorship is no more pleasing
than the dogmiS Of czarism.
The most singing rebuke In the let
ter Of Tolstoy's daughter = directed
against the idiotic liberalism, So
called, Of the United States and Eng
land which makes even such . man
- Bernard Shaw q jackass when he
talks about Russia. These liberals have
condoned every savagery which their
doctrines condemn otherwise as intol-
orablk, condoned 1t because this in.
humanity u found under q pretense
Of the common good for the exploited
masses. Is II the masses ruled by
Stain had anything more to say than
the masses had under. Nicholas II.
These liberals find that what was I'm.
1peakable brutality in the old days Il
Z benevolence In the new. When ideas
produce hysterical hypocrisy reason
can only close the book. The chains
which the displrited and abject Rus
sian common man now wears painfully
to his grave are regarded Is garlands
Of liberty. insanity can go no farther
than that

CHAPTER XVII.

~ oMETIMES she would wake
- in the night, stifled. Her
- heart humping against her
ribs until it shook her tense body.
Unbearable depression dragging
her down, drowning her in depths
Of aching dreariness. There was
no hope or joy in the world; there
was not even Ken.
Was it . dream which brought
this mood? she wondered wildly.
Or was some power watching her?
But in the morning, when the
sun gilded the chimney tops and
the sparrows wrangled happily on
the roof, it was gone. Curtains
blowing in on the morning breeze.
Another golden day leading to
Ken. Oh, life was sweet!
One Saturday night toward the
end Of October she waited for him
in the Empty shop. jeanette had
left early in the day for Z week
end party. Ah-Ling had gathered
the last round Of teacups, emptied
the last ash tray, and had departed
for her Chinatown home, q iauntily
incongruous little figure with
green silk trousers Tapping under
her smart American sport coat.
Az she waited, Ardeth slipped
into Q mood Of pensive happiness.
Always sensitive to beauty, she
noticed how the low rays Of the
Autumn sun striking through the
window held . copper tone. It fell
richly on the lustrous silks Of Man
DARN coats - set . pigeon-blood
eloisonne to glowing like . ruby
made = glory out Of an amber
sticked fan. The room breathed
of incense and perfume. And sud
denly there was something about
this inanimate beauty which stifled
the girl. Intolerable sadness creep
ing over her, 50 that she put on her
wraps and went outside to stand
in the dying sunlight, shifting the
live salt wind.
Fear and Anger.
An hour later the outlines Of the
high buildings were blurred with
twilight. The crowds Of workers
had departed from Grand Avenue,
but Ardeth still fingered in the
doorway Of the shop, fear and
anger battling in her heart.
AZ the hand Of her wrist watch
went slowly around the dial appre-
hension flooded Ardeth's mind.
Imagination flooded Ardeth's mind.

Back home the land was torn BY dissenston. A
secession movement spreading in the northwest:
New York greeted the draft law with terrible riots;

And yet, somehow, 1t did survive; and Lincoln,
who in 1862 was called ignorant hick lawyer who
was too stubborn to take the advice Of his bettes Is
hailed today as one Of our very greatest men. For
he was able to see what some Of us often forget;
that the nation is able to survive tremendous storms
