Quoted Il decent campaign, and
he and his lieufenants have
steered clear of any scandal,
while on the other hand all the

of the open declaration of the
boss that he wanted the people
to rule. The platform upon
which Taft is running is a typi-

there are too mary other princi-

The principles enunciated by
these parties are all that any. one

How TO Avoid Divorces.

My advice toIhusbands who wish to
avoid divorce Is this. Don't quote
mother. Call up your wife while at
business and ask how she is and tell
her that you called her up just to hear
her voice. Take her a box OF candy,
one Of the new books that she Is In
terested In, a flower, even II It is
faded and you have picked It up or
the street; a pretty pin or handzer-
chief. and don't ever lay your head on
your pillow at night without having
done something to gain and obtain a
-frmer hold on your wifes love. Kiss
her every day. At least once a month
meet her downtown and take her to
dinner and the theater. Don't ever
stop counting for as soon as you do
some other man win begin. Make
YOUR wife your companion. Take her
out with you. and when you have TO
have aSbig time take your wife along
ard the divorce evil viii be lessened.

Loans Without Interest.

In the city of Barcelona. Spain. there
is a peculiar pawnbroking establish
ment bearing the dainty name Of "Our
Lady of Hope" where loans are made
without interest to necessitous per
sons on the deposit of any articles in
pledge Two-thirds Of the value of
the deposit is at once advanced. and
the loan is made for six months and
a day. but If at the expiration of that
period the depositor should declare
himself unable to redeem it, after an
other period of six months the pledges
are sold, but If they yield more than
the amount advanced the difference is
given to the original owner. This in
stitution is very popular. Thousands
are every year suitors for the favor
thus afforded by Our Lady of Hope"

home of the bodies of nay dead,
what would my financial condition
be? The sin of neglect is the
grossest committed by human char
acters. 1t is not because the peo-
pie of Camden and surrounding
community will not support such
sacred and just cause, but mat
ter purely Of procrastination.
We appeal to the heart and best
sentiment of the people to support
the cause that so richly deserves
our immediate and continued at
tention, for where the heart is in
terested there also will the purse
yawn in bidding the owner to con-
tribute IN accordance to his pros
perity, Some, perhaps, may have
little in dollars aud cents that they
can contribute. TO them we ask
this question: Have you willing
mind to contribute bit of your
energy to cause.-the conditions
of which should haunt all of us?
We are going to do something to
relieve the situation. An ice cream
supper, given in the court yard,
has been suggested, for which the
ladies will be asked to donate cake
and serve as is the usual custom.
A further good suggestion is that
at that time and place a general
contribution box be conveniently
arranged for those who will con-
tribute from personal apprecia-
ton of the need of a relief fund.
In furthering this cause we here
by ask the ladies of the town and
community and especially those
who own lots in the cemetery to
meet in the court house yard on
Tuesday afternoon of August 6 at
$50 o'clock to consider some means
of securing money for the work
above mentioned, and for taking
some steps toward an organization
for the permanent maintainaaee of
such fund.

The Saloon in Politics
BY SILENA M. HOLMAN.

Pennsylvania General Assembly
everyone of whom, if he wishes, is
supplied with key. lie goes
quietly in when he chooses, shuts
the door and helps himself to as
much or as little drink as he may
desire, and coming out locks the
door behind him. There is no
limit, and no question asked, and
when the supply grows short it is
promptly replenished. These men,
bers of the General Assembly are
SO supplied with free drinks in re-
turn for-what?
Would you consider the saloon
in politics in the State of Penn
sylvania? Can you imagine the
liquor politicians in State declar-
ing that the liquor question aud
should be kept out of politics? Do
you believe that to repeal our laws
in Tennessee would remove the
question from the politics of the
State? Do you not know that the
same conditions that prevail in
Pennsylvania would prevail in
Tennessee in short time should
the temperance people now sur
render what they have won, and
give the liquor men what they
want? Don't you know we can
not afford to do that?
The lawlessness prevailing in our
cities is disgrace to Tennessee.
But it would be a greater evil to
license the liquor traffic and give
the sanction of the law to the long
train of evils flowing from the liq-
uor business.
This nation must destroy the
liquor traffic, or the liquor traffic
will destroy the nation.

The Palace of the Dead
COM MI NICATED..

Where sleeps our dead mothers,
fathers, sisters, brothers and chill
dren of the citizens of Camden and
adjoining community?
Is it in sodded well kept graves
where beauty and order is in keep
ing with Gods universe, and in a
cemetery cared for as we, their low
ing connection and friends, would
have our homes? Or is it in lot
set apart for the burial Of those
hurled into eternity; q place un-
cared for, a place uncanny, uni
verse of weeds and sprouts and
trees?
Whose grave is it that does not
show the very finger prints of neg
lect? Whose epitaph is not blur
red with the drippings of the oak
cedar and other trees? Some we
find difficult to read because of
mold and moss that covers the neg
lected headstone that marks the
earthly place of our dead.
Does the shade furnished by the
oak compensate for the destruction
it brings to the tomb? And is it
not true that the very branches
that rustic above the grave drew
life through the roots of the tree
that pierce the mold of the human
body beneath them? Who is it
who would have the bones of their
bodies hurled to the surface and
exposed to public comment by the
upheaval Of the master oak? Yet,
such is true of our dead.
If Heaven, the eternal palace of
the soul, was a place of such neg
lect and unthoughtfulness as we
have allowed the palace of the
body that bore the soul to become,
do you not fear that only a few of
us would thrive, or even care to
make Heaven our home?
Let us ask ourselves this ques-
ton: If God prospered me, fnan-
cially, as I care for and protect the

Teachers Association.

The Benton County teachers
met in Camden July 20, and had a
most profitable meeting.
From the real interest given the
subject, "How to make the school
the socialcentre of thecommunity,"
it seems that there will be a great
effort to make the home and school
more of a unit this year. This sub
ject was discussed by A. l.. Has
sell, Miss Ida McRae and others.
HI. O. Bomar read paper,
"Bonds for building and equipping
school houses" filled with sound,
practical reasoning which interest
ed visitors as we'll as teachers. G.
w. Robins and others gave dis
cussion on this paper. All agreed
with Mr.. Robins that we need few
er then better built and equipped
houses.
Superintendent Hardin gave STA
tistics showing the great number
of adults in Benton County who
can not read and write and made
an earest appeal to the teachers to
help in wiping out this blot on our
present day civilizations He pro-
posed holding Reading and writ
ing" schools at night in all the dis
tricts for those who would like to
learn to read and write. This met
the hearty approval of most teach
ers present, as was made evident in
the talks on "My plans for the
year." A good number said 81 am
going to try the night school" ;"
The health side of school was
notneglected in these talks. Many
are going to introduce water cool
ers and individual drinking cups
instead of the common water buck.
ct where every fellow drinks and Of
ten introduces his unclean hands
as we'll. This rs no little step to-
ward public health. All seem to
be planning to make the school
house and grounds more beautiful
and sanitary. The real teacher
spirit existing gives forecast of the
greatest school year in Benton's
history.
Teachers adjourned to meet the
third Saturday in August at the
court house, Camden.
