CORNER OF PALACE OF EDUcAT1o,

nothing of the after-thought idea in this
may be shown by the fact that the Pal
ace of Education was the first of the
great buildings to be completed. The
educational influences Of the fair were
in the minds of the creators from the
first.
But outside the one building devoted
exclusively to the branch Of education
by name, everything in the marvellous
spectacle will be educational. One can
not find anything within the limits OF
the 1910 acres Of exposition ground a
feature that lacks the quality of being in
structive. Whether 1t be a ponderous
engine putting away in the turning Of
gigantic wheels, or the silent fame OF
chemists lamp aiding in the elucida-,
ton of the secrets of the elements, all
exhibits and processes will teach.
In the discussion of vital topics by men
and women ofnational and international
renown, at the various congresses to be
held during the exposition, there will be
q fruitful source of instruction, the In
fiuence of which must be felt by the fu-
ture. 1t is not oversanguine to hope
that at these congresses new light may
be thrown upon problems OF the most in-
innate interest to mankind.

Cy Lyle, of the johnson City COMET,
may always be relied upon to say the
right thing in an emergency. He says:
If the democratic party should retire
Gen. Bate because of age, it would be
very much like son sending an aged
parent TO the poor house and it will
not be guilty of such an unworthy act
Tennessee democracy needs Gen. Bate
for what he can do, owes him debt of
gratitude for what he has done, and he
will be allowed to die with the senate
rial toga about his noble and wounded
frame. The party has not been in the
habit of fixing an age limit on honora-
BILE party service in order to reward
other aspirants, and it will not begin
now.
The politicians who are engaged in
the business of retiring" Senator
Bate will encounter this sentiment al
most unanimously when they get out
among the people. They may be able
to strangle it in the "snap" conven-
tions, but they will hear from it when
it comes up at the polls. = Chattanooga

To the Editor of THE COMET.
The movement of the board in trying
to have US all clean up and keep our
streets and sidewalks cleaner ought to
meet with the approval of all good citi-
zens. The worst criticisms new corners
ever make of Johnson City is, cit is so
dirty" Our healthful mountain breezes
and outdoor fresh air life have preserv-
ed, in q great measure, the health of
the town, but as it grows, something
more is necessary, for Notwithstanding
the cry of the pessimist, johnson City
is growing, and it is time that size be-
gan to put on city airs to match her
growth. OF course our various boards
will make mistakes, being human, we
can expect nothing less than they will
give us many chances to kick. But if
we will do our share we will not have
so many kicks coming. Each Of us can
do something, and if you will keep
your eyes open you can find the duty
lying nearest you. In many cities the
anti-spitting ordinance appeals to the
good sense Of the people, and pneumo-
MIA, grip and consumption are lessened
thereby. Let us have general observ-
ance of these regulations. In Denver,
the city where 80 many consumptives
go, this request, not an order, is tack
ed up in cars and public places, and no
one splits on the walk. Each goes to
the curbstone, the dried sputa is not
carried home on shoes or dresses. What
pleasure to go on Main street and go
from one end to the other of the bust
ness places and not drag your dress
through filth unmentionable, before
delicate stomachs. At first it may be
necessary for the police to look after
this, and by and by it would grow into
favor so 1t would take care of itself

The crossing stones in two places on
Second avenue have been put in proper
position and the board walk over one
of the bitches has been substantially
repaired. For all of which we are duly
thankful and appreciatiye. The defects
in the sidewalk on Second avenue were
called to the attention of the Mud Club
by the new members, who reside at
the Appalachian Sanitarium. These
members complained that it was unsafe
for them to be on the avenue after
dark. Our friend, Mr.. Dooley, of New
Hampshire, is one Of the new members
of the Mud Club, and he has assumed
the task of kicking for good sidewalk
from the Appalachian to the end of the
street car line. There are four men,
bers of the club living at the Appalach-
ian and their mud beat is long one.

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. rEat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
conSumptiye SO and IOc
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumptive needs
most.

ern method of feeding fat to
theconSumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive Stomach8.
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that, There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

On February 18th THE COMET con-
tanned an editorial reference to the fact
that poor citizen had been compelled
TO bury his dead child with no one to
assist but his five children, and they
had walked two miles through the
snow and carried the corpse. 1t was
indeed most pitiable sight for civil
lied community to witness. The no.
tice attracted the attention of former
johnson Citian now living in NewYork
and he returned the article with the
following comment; "This being true,
shame be to the people of Johnson City
who are blessed sufficiently to take
care of the poor. The question of what
caused this mans poverty does not en-
ter into the case, whatever it may be;
the suffering is the same. Please see
that he gets the enclosed, though small
in amount it may help him." The en-
closure was a check for $l5 and was
signed by Frank A. Stratton, as gener-
Gus hearted man as eyertTlyed in
johnson City. The amount was duly
paid to Tom Jones and it is needless to
say q poor family was made happy
Mr.. Jones is very poor and uneducated,
but is q hard working, sober man, and
uses every dollar he earns to support his
family of seven. He came to this city
about a year ago from Sullivan county.
THE CoMET is glad to have been the
clearinghouse through which big
hearted Frank Stratton exchanged IF
teen dollars for hundreds of tears Of
gratitude from the Jones children, and
we believe that he will get value re-
ceived when the account is finally clos
ed in that clearinghouse not built with
hands.

THAT BALTICFLEE

The cable intimates thatthe Baltic
Acct is TO be sent to the Far East
Through the straits of Magellan, q
route that would consume four
years would be better still for Russia,
and very likely the four-year sche-
dule will yet be adopted. The feet
includes all the aggressive sea power
that Russia has left on hand, and SHE
shows no desire to bring it speedily
within the range Of japanese guns.
The Japanese have a knack of shoot
ing straight.
Despite all the talk as to the pro-
longation of the war on Rus5ia's
part, military experts believe that
at the end of the campaign, after
cold weather has set in as it can set
in along the Siberian border, Russia
will see the hopelessness of her task,
and she will find in some way d road
to peace. She is big and strong, but
when the st. Petersburg Bourse Ga
zette says "there will come a time
when Japan will be confronted with
the weight of che whole Russian ma
ton, it is talking through its fur
cap. Japan will not meet the fate of
Genghis Khan, simply because the
might Of the Russian nation cannot
be transported to the Far East foyer
a rickety jerkwater railroad possess
ing a single track only.
The Baltic fleet could not, if it
were in the China sea to-day, whip
the united japanese feet. There is
nothing substantial left of the Rus
sian fleets at Port Arthur or VIadi- !
vostok, and the japanese perhaps
would welcome the appearance Of
the Baltic fleet in their waters. They |
certainly will when Port Arthur
falls. The Russians have lost control
of the sea, and they cannot regain it
in The present war. This is why
peace before spring comes again is
possible and even probable.
