18 TENNESSEE TYPICAL? A Tennessee, might be said to be tome
thing: of a storm center on the liquor question. Just now it Is enjoying the
center calm. The first irruption will
be July 1, this year, whe nthe sale of
liquor is to cease; the second January 1, next, when it will become unlawful to manufacture intoxicating- beverages. And it is a peculiarly annoying pros
pect irom the liquor dealer's viewpoint. The state -had already gone
dry except in the three counties of
Davidson, Shelby and Hamilton, and
the four cities of Nashville, Memphis, Chattanooga and LaFolIette, to which the saloons were saved by local1 option. .When the present Governor Patterson ran for the nomination at the primaries against E. W. Carmack he won on the issue of local option, having a
large majority of the democratic votes in the primaries. ... But when the leg
islature 'met : twenty-two republicans ' in the house and five in the senate
polned with the prohibition democrats.
and so gave that cause a two-thirds
majority, and it not only promptly
passed a prohibition law, but overrode
Governor Patterson's veto thereof
without debate. It was peremptory in the extreme, and this is one reason
why wo say that from the liquor deal
er'a viewpoint the Tennessee situation
la peculiarly annoying.
Hers was a state that was "dry as a
dobs" in all except four cities and
been regarded as the fairest principle
the decision by local units. But
; this did not satisfy the anti-liquor fore
as. They organised a tremendous
state-wide prohibition campaign. And
they organised it well. The Methodist church was particularly effective.
Meetings were held in churches and school houses and sensationalism and , bitterness marked the time. But
there waa no anti-prohibition organi
sation: no Catherine of statistics, nub
lieatlon of literature, etc. Ail that the
"wets" asked waa local option aurely
a meek request. But as reflected In the action of the legislature the prohibitionists gave them no considera
tion. Governor Patterson, In his veto message " which waa treated so cava
lierly, pleaded against the destruction
of revenue (estimated for the state at 9 ljOOO,000; against the discrimination prohibition would work against the people of Tennessee in favor of those
of other states; against the confisca
tion of property that the prohibition of manufacture would entail, and
against the lowering of the state's dignity and the violation of the will of the people expressed at the (Democratic) primaries. But the elephants
charged on! :
The governor reaches far. when he
says that prohibition would be a confiscation of property. That doctrine
has found countenance in England
both in Gladstone's statement and !n
Balfour's act. But it has never obtained in this country. Recently wc printed the decision of the Supreme Court that holds precisely the opposite and American doctrine. - Neverthenless in Tennessee suits have been filed to test this . doctrine. Nor is this strange, for the liquor interests there
have received severe. treatment. But
unless the supreme court reverses the American doctrine we do not see how the severity is going to be eased. Besides the loss of $1,000,000. which the governor deplores. $10,000,000 worth of property will be reduced to idle- ' ness and 12.000 employes will have to seek other Jobs. Of course there is
another aide to tne account, in police court, jail and prison expenses, to be
reckoned, but this is not mentions!
and Tennessee did not care. It Just
went ahead and did the things that we
have set out Is Tennessee typical? Indianapolis News.

Then there's the program thief we dread, We always wish that he were dead, Whe takes an ad and knows he's bled? The Merchant Who is it when times are hard. Will sell you clothes and take your word And borrow money to pay his board? The Merchant And when a town goes dry or wet And every man who lost his bet, Who is it they are blaming yet?" The Merchant When things in general are on the bum And money tighter than a drum, Who knows it's no Millenium? The Merchant When Lutheran, Friend or Methodist Finances get into a twist .Who is it signs your subscription list? The Merchant And when you've bought your goods outside. Then boast about your Home town pride; Who is it knows that you have lied? ... The Merchant. Who drains your coffers, fills your store With things you need and many more. And brings. life's comforts to your door? The Merchant And when you're sick and can't get well, And finally gone somewhere to dwell Who sells the flowers you can't smell?

This expedition will be under Mr. Wellman's individual ownership and responsibility. The capital has been supplied by Americana who are interested in the enterprise solely on scientific and patriotic grounds.' No change has been made in the general plan of the expedition, which is to assemble and Inflate the airship at the headquarters station. Danes Island. Spitsbergen, in June and July, and to start thence northward through the air in August, provided the weather conditions make a start practicable with reasonable chance for success. The airship to be used is the "America,", which had a trial in a voyage at Spitsbergen a year ago last September. The owners of the Chicago Record Herald have turned over to Mr. Wellman, free of charge, the airship plant buildings and machinery of Mr. Wellman's former enterprise. The "America,': which is the second ' largest airship yet built about three-fifth 3 the size of the Zeppelin, and twice a? large as the largest French ships, and with a lifting capacity of nearly ten tons, has been reconstructed and improved by- Engineer Van 1 man in the expedition workshops at Paris.
The following article, published in the April number of "Our Country." was written by Lois Martin, aged 12 years, daughter of Mrs. Eunice Porterfleld Martin, formerly of this city: When I was eight years old. , my mother was taken sick and went to a hospital in Kansas City, where ; we were then living. My father was called to Utah on business and he took me with him, ae they did not wish me to know how sick my mother was. We left Kansas City, Mo., on a Monday afternoon about 3 o'clock. The next morning we were speeding along over the ; western plains. We rode for miles and miles without seeing any hills or trees. About noon, away off to the west of us we could see what seemed to be a grayish blue cloud. As we came nearer, it was more the color of the sky, with white
and a few green and brown spots. I asked my father what it was and he said that it was a mountain.' You may imagine how glad I was to know that it was a mountain, as it was the first one I had ever seen. We arrived in
Pueblo, Colo., in the afternoon. We stayed there about half an hour.
After we left Pueblo, I got ac
quainted with a little girl who was going to Salt Lake City. She had
crossed the mountains four times be
fore. I sat out on the platform of the observation car , to see the Royal
Gorge. It Is a very, very beautiful
strip of scenery. All colors of the rainbow are to be seen here. The
roaring of the river is so loud, one can hardly hear the nffee of the train. The swinging bridge iShung by large iron
braces fastened to the mountain sides and large chains hold the bridge
part up.
As we left the Royal Gorge, we be
gan to go up higher and higher. We reached Tennessee Pass, the highest
point on this road, about. 5 o'clock.
This Pass is about 11,000 feet above sea level. Coming up, we had two engines pulling and two pushing us.
As we looked down into the valley
everything was green and beautiful.
Up farther on the mountain side were
the fir trees and up at the top of the
mountains where we were, the snow
and ice made everything dazzle.
It was very warm down in the val
ley, but up so high, it was as cold as
a winter's day, although it was the 30th day of May.
About 6 o'clock we reached Lead-
ville, a very smoky mining town. After leaving here, we had supper and retired. In the morning we were in Utah, spinning along through the Wa
satch Mountains. Park City, in these mountains, has (within a few miles of it) one of the best silver mines in the world. We went on and passed . through Salt Lake City, the capital of the state. We did not stop off, but went on to Ogden, which was the end of our Journey. We had been on the train so long weaving from side to side through the mountains that for two or three days I swayed from side to side when walking. We had rooms at a fine hotel. My mother joined us in a few weeks. After she came, one Sunday we went down to Salt Lake City: While there we went out to see Great Salt Lake. We went in bathing and I got my hair full of salt The water is so heavy on
account of so much salt that tt is absolutely impossible to sink in it No
one has ever been drowned in this lake. People sit up and float around like corks In the water.
We returned to Kansas City in the
fall and came back by way of Wyom
ing. We saw many beautiful places. The rock formations In Weber Canon
are the roost fantastic I have ever seen. We saw the Devil's Slide, ; a queer rock formation in the-Wasatch
Mountains, the Devil's Gate, Castle
Rock on the Green river and many
other places of interest
We stopped at the Brown Palace
Hotel In Denver over night We vis
ited the U. S. Mint in Denver. The
streets are very irregular here.: We
took a long street car ride and saw
many beautiful homes, the state capital, etc. Out on the hill tops where no houses obstruct the view, one gets
a very good sight of Pike's Peak. We
left Denver and crossed the plains and
prairies to the city I loved to call home dear old Kansas City, Mo.
