Dr. Garland's Cure-All
"Boys of America are beating a well trodden path to the
penitentiary," declared Senator Garland in his speech to
Rotary. "Liquor, narcotics, movies and autos have all com.
bined to undermine the youth of the country," he stated, "but
the main fault for present conditions is to be traced directly
to the modern home which tries to shift upon the state the
burden of parentage."
After this diagnosis of the disease, Dr. Garland offers his
favorite prescription for saving the boys, his bill calling for
bible reading in the public schools, which is a legislative
effort to shift upon the state "the burden of parentage" and
relieve parents of their duty, that of inculcating religion in
their offspring, thus stimulating the malady, by increasing
parental neglect.
Effect of Dr. Garland's celebrated cure-all of mixing
religion and state as a producer of dissension and turmoil
was confessed when he declared that people of other religious
proclivities, who pay taxes and send their children, to the
Achools, were objecting. He naively expressed his surprise
at such ingratitude after he had thought he had bartered
wine for religion.
Bible reading in school is a polyanna palative for keeping
youth from going to hell through parental neglect, but it is
very virulent stimulant for producing community discord
2nd religious strife. Hence the constitution very wisely
Eeperates church and state for public welfare. The legisla
ture should complete its excellent record of negation by
killing the Garland bill.
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE

Reprisals Threatened
Legislatures of Georgia, Florida, North and South Carolina
have passed resolutions of protest in opposition to enactment
of legislation discriminatory ag.tinst cotton-seed oil products
In Oregon and other western states. A call has been issued
for governors of the ten southern states- to cooperate in
presenting a solid front against the enactment of measures
taxing oleomargarine and other cotton-seed oil products.
. "If they boycott us, we might retaliate by boycotting
them" suggests Governor Walker of Georgia. Some such
retaliatory measures would undoubtedly follow passage of
legislation in northern states designed to aid northern
farmers by discriminating against southern farmers, which
would interfere with the cordial relations existing between
the states by forcing economical hardships on the southern
states.
If the protective and discriminatory tariff idea spreads
among the various states, where will it end? The south may
f it a reprisal tax upon our prunes, apples, cherries, canned
goods, lumber, paper and other products, which would
seriously cripple our markets and the entire situation create
pjctional animosity menacing the solidarity of the nation.
This paternalistic theory of appealing to the state to
create class prosperity by destroying the prosperity of other
producers, at public expense, may be good local politics but it
is mighty poor economics.

A Modern Marriage
(An Absorbing Novel ;
By IDAH McGLONE GIBSON )
THE NKW WIFE I VT hurriedly arranged ouraelvee
, ,, ... . ,,,., beside the eight other couples and
1 !?? """" 'I'L wer. married. It ... done. And-
her maji use rlpt, for fear that Rod
would find me there after he had
received my letter.
All throuKh the hours of the trip
t wondered If he would find me,
It was with great curiosity that 1
opened the telegram the clerk
handed me immediately after I
had registered at the hotel in
Knoxville. It read:
"Will be with you the morning
after you arrive. Eternal love and
happiness. ROD.
When he came we had very lit'
tie to say to each other. We de
elded to take the train 'way up into
the mountains to see If we could
find tho Justice of the peace to
marry us.
Finally, after riding a long way
beyond the little mountain station
on horseback Into the virgin for
est, we came to a, little cluster of
shacks.
As luck would have It, we reach
ed the plaoe just as the sun was
dropping behind the mountain,
flooding the whole world that was
before our eyes with glory.
"I wonder what all thoxe peo
ple are doing?" said Rod. "It looks
to me as though everyone was hav
ing a holiday and Is celebrating It
by means of some peculiar ceremony."
We rode to a place under the
trees and found that according to
a quaint custom among the moun
tianeors of that region the young
peopls were having a wholesale
wedding ceremony. 1
Come on!" I said excitedly. "It
Is a direct interposition of lrovI-
ile nee. This is tho time when all!
those who have plijrhted their troth
during tho year are being married
hy the 'preacher-man' who Is mak-i
ing he annual visit to this part of lonely
the mountain ranjre." savins
Thn followed three deliriously
happy weeks before we returned to
civilization and the prosaic life.
I came first and opened my
studio, greeted my frienOs, and
sated their curiosity by telling them
that I had been at a little moun
tain .resort for a rest.
I took pains to ask 1f any of
them had seen Rodney and seemed
surprised when he returned two or
ihree days later.
We resumed our old ways of llv
Imp, I found it very wonderful. Rod
was always my lover. The sordid
affairs of life did not enter at all
into our relations. We told each
other our auccesnex I wore my
prettiest clothes for him when we
went to the restaurants. He sent
me flowors and books and, if he
sold a story, a jewel or two.
Soon after he sold his first play
he gave me a diamond bracelet."
ut course, there was more or
less gossip, but people are not
censorious in the village. They i.iay
be curious for a white, but even
cariosity becomes satisfied in time,
If there are no untoward circum
stances to whet It.
Rod's first play was a great sue
cess. I was lucky enough to win a
commission for the frieze I had
been trying for. We were both
riding toward success.
Once In & while someone would
ask If Rod and X were going to be
married and I would answer that
wo were both satisfied to be just
what we were, old friends.
The year passed on winged feet.
Alt at once I realized that Rodney
was not coming to see me every
evening as ho had been in the habit
of doing. Foolishly I taxed him for

to tell him that I would not be at

Before he answered I heard a
woman's voice on the wire Baying",
"You can't go tonight."
I did not recognize the voice and
thought perhaps the wire were

Steam Rollered
General Mitchell, as was expected, is to be punished for
Ins temerity in criticising the army and navy aircraft policy
uy demotion, resignation or dismissal by 1'residcnt Cooluljie,
who has accepted the rejiort of the navy general board
st"ng as special board of inquiry, which maintains that the
baUlcship is still the ruler of the sea and aircraft only a
side issue.
(Jt course the navy board is a disinterested and impartial
investigator. It acts both as judge, jury, prosecutor, in
quisitor and witness, publishes what it wants and suppresses
what it desires, and its edict is as absolute as Caesar's. Who
ever gets in the way is promptly flattened by its steam-roller.
While Japan, Britain and France are concentrating upon
aircraft, the United States continues to build $70,000,000
warships that are obsolete before completion and sunk as
targets, thereby providing profits for the steel trust, and
munition makers and jobs for gobs and gold braide'd autocrats
of the navy at public expense. Let the good work go on
ine lessons or the war are lost.
