Marshall & Baird, Union City, Tenn
The McKellar and Patterson open
ing speeches have been read by a
great many interested citizens. Mr.
Patterson has always been a good
speaker, probably the best orator in
Tennessee since the days of Senator
Taylor. He is, however, as far as
we can gather, not a man of pro
nounced progressive convictions. In
other words he does not assure us
that he favors the President's poHcy
of a Government-owned merchant
marine, or that he would not favor
a ship subsidy. He says he does not
fear a strong government. If that
means that he is not in sympathy
with the President's ideas of the
initiative and referendum, he cannot
claim much along the line of pro
gressive Democracy. Mr. Patterson
certainly does not treat the Deino:
cratic voters in the State with much
confidence when he indorses the pri
mary plan which displaces the coun
ty committees and supplants them
v.-ith subcommittees appointed by the
State committee. This is a species
f centralization, which we have al
ways had an idea that Mr. Patterson
leans to. We do not believe 'Mr,
Patterson insists on this for person
al advantage, but the principle is
wrong. Mr. McKellar, too, makes
some broad comments in his speech, !
which might consistently be left out.
We are not defending Mr. Lea.
Goodness knows, Lea cared very little
for his party when he left the Sen
ate and the President in a critical
time to take care of his fences in
Tennessee. He left when the mer
chant marine bill was up for pas
sage, and was equally as guilty as the
seven who opposed it by absenting
himself. But when Mr. McKellar
arraigns him for his fight on Lorimer
he is making a blunder. McKellar
knew Lorimer was guilty and every
body knew it, and the Senator who
fails to show his hand in the elimi
nation of corrupt men from the
greatest legislative body in the
world is a weakling and a coward.
Too much of that whitewash busi
ness is going on in Congress. There
seems to be a disposition and, more
than that, a sort of silent under
standing that members will protect
each other when somebody goes
wrong. This was demonstrated in
the Mulhall charges, which involved
a score or mor j of Senators and Con
gressmen. The investigation was
made but never brought to light. It
-was shelved to protect the guilty.
If such things as these are to be
hushed up then Lea or anybody else
is serving Tennessee and every other
State in the Union when the ex
posure is made.
Baptist Meeting.
Rev. H. H. Drake is conducting a
meeting at the Baptist Church this week
with a very large attendance and pros
pects of great and good results. On
Sunday night hundreds of people could
not find seats and had to return home.
There were no services at some of the
other churches, and ministers and other
denominations of the city are co-operating
with the Baptist congregation in
the work. Eev. Drake is preaching a
series of special sermons. He is a min
ister of extraordinary ability and fine
personal character, and during his stay
in Uniou City, which has been for only
a few years, has made a very fine im
pression on the people of Union City.
He is a tireless worker and intensely in
terested and devoted to the cause of
Christ. Our people are very much in
terested in his work, and no doubt
tr.uch and lasting good will come from
the meeting. Services are held twice a
day, morning and evening.
' Baby Show.
The record was lost, but we, man
aged to trace up two of the prize
babies, to whom prizes were award
ed at the fair last Friday by W. H.
Gardner. The baby boy winning
first prize is Hoyt G. Robinson, Jr.,
json of Dr. H. G. Robinson. The baby
girl winning first prize is a daughter
of Mrs. Clark at Woodland Mills.
The other two babies winning sec
ond prizes were not located. Four
cups were given by Mr. Gardner this
year instead of two. If those who
have prize babies will report it will
be a favor not only to the papers but
to Mr. Gardner, who has mislaid his
record. Please report the names of
babies and their parents.

FOOT BAIL.
Training School Men Responding to
Call of Field Work.
For the past two weeks there has
been a squad, of from fourteen to
eighteen boys with an , average
weight of 157 pouds on the . field
every day. ' Eighteen men responded j
I to ine nrsr can two weeKs ngu, must
of whom have had. some .experience'.
There will be .several others to re
port for practicing next week., The
work so far1 has consisted' of kicky
ing, passing and , tackling. The
hustling and hard work spirit has
already crept into each prospect, and
he is taking hold with a spirit that
is sure to win. ; Several -of the ibid
men are here, viz: Rankin, Everett,
Waters, Bratton, Moss, Mitchell. The
prospects are E. McClure, " Harris,
Head, Morris, Wilson, Hayes, Wat
son, Rogers, J. Bratton, H. McClure,
W. Waters, O. Wamouth.
With this bunch and with the
coaching heretofore given nothing
can prevent a good team being de
veloped. Games have been arranged
with Clinton, Fulton,v Martin, Mem
phis, McTyeire, Huntingdon and
here Thanksgiving. Others pending.
The motto of the Training School
foot-ball team is "Never Give Up;
Never Tire."
No Excuse.
The Union City Steam Laundry
has gotten out a little folder with
above title, and we wish to empha
size that there is no excuse for the
citizens of Union City or this county
to send out of Union City to buy
merchandise or to have laundry work
done, dry cleaning or anything else.
Keep all you have right here in our
own town and give it to Americans,
and don't let a penny get to where
it wont come back. Every( cent you
spend with a merchant of Union
City will surely travel the rounds
and get back from where it started.
At Jackson, Nashville and many oth
er towns in Tennessee they are form
ing leagues, and the preachers and
teachers are calling attention to
trade at home. Don't let the name
of a larger place than Union City
have any bearing on yqu sending
away for merchandise or to have
work done. Our name is all right,
id all we have to do is to pull to
gether, as what we want is union
when it comes to patronizing home
merchants.

the toasted sweet ,

In the growth of corn there is a period jwhen the
kernels are plumped out with a vegetable milk, most
nutritious. ' As it slowly ripens this hardens and finally
becomes almost flinty. :
Only this part of the corn is used in making Post
Toasties, the husk, germ and all waste being rejected.
This nutritious part is cooked, seasoned "jus
right," rolled and toasted to a crackly golden-brown
crispness Post Toasties the

flakes." Insist upon having Post Toasties.
