Compulsory Education Law.

In order to get the new State
compulsory education law in oper-
alton at once State Superintendent
j. W. Brister has sent letters to all
county superintendent stating the
fact that the enforcement of the
statute depends largely on them
We find there is strong senti-
ment favoring this law.
According to the figures, only
Il percent of the scholastic popu-
lation of Tennessee is enrolled in
schools, and only 49 percent in
actual attendance. In the cities
reports show 5S percent enrolled
and 43 percent attendance.
1t is estimated there are in the
State 34S,5OS school children be-
tween the ages of s and IA and that
there are in attendance 263, ,556.
leaving about $4,000 children who,
under the compulsory law, would
be expected to attend school next
year. A reasonable enforcement
will better conditions.

"A MAN AND A MAID

Reason does not rule in love, as
Solomon found out, and the way of
n man with n maid passes human
understanding, and is as mystify-
ing n puzzle in 1913 A. ID. as it was
IN $50 b. G. when the wise Solo
mon snid:
"There be three things which are
too wonderful for me-yea, four
which l know not: The way of an
eagle in the air; the way of SER
pent upon rock f; the way of ship
IN the midst of the sea, and the way
OF a man with a maid"
Not only Solomon, but others of
the wisest and greatest Of mankind
have made themselves fools for the
sake of women.
Even before Solomon's time, the
mighty Samson babbled his secret

Alexander allowed That's to tease
him into burning the Persian pal
ace at Persopolis-an act which
stained his name for all time.
Mark Antony lost an empire, it
is said, because he could not tear
himself from Cleopatra's arms.
Half the mischief in history was
done by the mistresses Of infatuat-

THE LORDS PRAYER.
BY BISHOP GAILOR.

The Lord's Prayer is the mos
precious Of all prayers, because il
was uttered by the Savior. 1t il
type of the manner in which We
should approach our God. 1t is 6
type given to natives by the Savior
himself.
The Cords Prayer is divided in
two parts, petitions for Gods glory
and petitions for ourselves. Nc
matter what man may accomplish
or what he may do, God is behind
him, God is with him. God cares
for His people in all walks of life.
We are living under reign of
law. God will keep you in your
individual efforts. The world is
governed by law, which is proof
of Gods existence. He stands be-
hind the law. God,is ever present
to guide his children.
People don't believe in God
they are worshiping the law in
stead. If law is God, then let us
worship law. If God is law, then
let us worship God. Pray for
everything, not for spiritual things
alone. God is behind the storms,
the winds and everything. God
expects you to pray.
God knows all things. He is
infinitely acquainted with the most
minute details of His creation. Ii
you deny this you deny God.
Give us this day our daily bread.
Not give ME this day nay daily
bread. Pray with each other, pray
for each other. God never hears
a selfish prayer.
Daily bread means every day
bread and also spiritual bread
The greatest benefits of life are
the spiritual blessings we receive.
Don't forget the spiritual value OF
communion. 1t reminds us that
God is not absent but is with us
from age to age.

WHY WE ADVERTISE
Copyright 1917 by George e. Patterson

Egyptians used hand bills and
posters made of papyrus 5000
years ago.
Printing was invented less than
5OO years ago, and the newspapers
were then started. Soon after
wards advertising became associat-
ed with printing. The advertising
idea originated over 30 centuries
ago. Some present day merchants
have not got the advertising idea
yet.
With present day opportunities
to advertise there is no limit to
what one may accomplish in bust
ness lines. The local merchant
may easily double his local bust
ness. He has through the local
paper wonderfully cheap way TO
gain publicity.
There is no newspaper read like
the local paper, especially by the
women, and the women do over 90
per cent of the trading.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1913-05-30

1t is well, first of all, to know
what advertising reallyis. Adver-
tising has been defined as the act
OF publicly announcing-a fact, and
has further been defined as sales
manship on paper. While both of
these are more or less true, adver-
tising is nothing but the giving of
business news with the purpose
of creating new want or supply
ing an existing want.
1t is readily seen that there is
no limit to the accomplishment of
good advertising, as there is no
limit to the wants already created
or that might be created.
The merchant is dead one who
does not realize that there are
starving millions waiting for him
to satisfy their wants or create for
them new wants.
This advertising idea to create
new wants and satisfy the existing
wants is no new thing, for the

Talks of Intervention.

"Armed intervention by the
United States is the only thing, in
my judgment, that will restore
peace in Mexico" said Missionary
r. P. Malone of Morella, State of
Michoacan, Mexico, in an address
before the recent Southern Baptist
convention in st. Louis.
II have been unable to return TO
my work in Mexico for two months
on account of revolutions and rev.
olutions against revolutionists; the
country, in absolute chaos, is with
out hope of getting together if led
by any of its own people.
"a Governor of a prominent
State told me he hoped missiona-
ries would establish a school in
every village in his dominion, as
he believed only system of edu-
cation like that of the United
States would redeem Mexico"

ger, who shot himself and died on
the grave of woman, Madame
Bonnemain, and of the brilliant
Irish leader, Parnell, who lost his
hold on his people, and wrecked
his career by loving another mans
wife.
All these men had force enough
and strength of will in dealing with
men, but they were weak before a
woman.
The way of man with maid
and of maid with man-has it's
curious illustration, not only in
the notorious scandals of history,
but in many respectable homes.
One often reads of follies COM
mitted by men-prudent in other
affairs-because they were enam-
ored of woman.
How often do men of position
and respectability elope under dis
graceful circumstances, and in that
insane furor of love-as the Latin
poet calls it-overturn what thew
have spent lifetime in building
up-home, fortune and position? ?
How many dignified gentlemen
could have their conversation with
women reported in the papers, and
their love letters read publicly,
without feeling silly?
1t is a battling mystery that was
too deep for the wise Solomon, and
is too deep for any philosopher of
today.

Low WAGES NOT
ONLY CAUSE FOR
WHITE SLAVERY
REDFIELD IN STATEMENT
Secretary of Commerce Says Question
of Virtue Is Not Mathematical
Equation-Difference in Wages of
Itself Alone Is Not Cause of Mis-
doing, He Declares

Washington, April 26.-Secretary
Redfield today is on record for the
first time with his views on the white
slave problem which comes directly
under his supervision as head of the
department of commerce.
His statement follows:
(By William Redfield, secretary of
Commerce. Copyright 1913 by the
United Press Association.)
II have been intensely interested
in statements that have appeared in
the public press in the course of a
discussion of the causes Of immortality,
alleging that low wages themselves
are the incentive to vice and others,
at the opposite extreme, saying low
wages have nothing to do with the
vice question. There seems to be a
truth lying somewhere between these
two extremes. OF course, lack of vir-
tue is not a mathematical equation.
The declaration that insufficient wage
is of itself temptation to wrong doing,
is in itself untrue. 1t is not the case
of so few dollars, so much vice, or so
many dollars, so much less vice. 1t is
absurd to say any more the difference
in wages of itself alone is the cause
of misdoing A vast majority, aye
many more than mere majority of
women and men, however humble
their earnings however hard their prl-
vations. are wholesome and pure in
life. Strength of character which
most working girls show under dim
! cult circumstances, puts them against
those who do the nation honor.

WENIX ELECTED;
CITY HAS LAND

After considerable parleying but
without serious trouble of any sort,
Wenix the Umatila squaw, and her
two daughters were elected from the
property at Thorn Hollow yesterday,
thus leaving the city in possession of
the spring and land that was pur-
chased under condemnation proceed
ings.
When Deputies Blakeley and Strand
and members of the water board serv-
ed ejectment papers on Wenix she
again sought to delay proceedings by
asking the officers to wait until she
could hear from Washington. How
ever. the request could not be granted
and the household goods of the Indian
woman were loaded into wagon and
moved to another place on unallotted
land. In moving the household ef-
fects of Wenix the party found big
blue box marked with the name oil
Donald Mckay, famous old scout and
father of wenix. The box had evil
IDENTIFY once been used by the scout as
a trunk
Red Elk. son of Wenix, was work
ing in a field near the place and
when the officers appeared some chill
dren went out and told him of the
fact. However, Red Elk did not ap-
pear to make any remonstrance OF
any nature as he evidently realized
the futllity of any such move
Under the terms of the verdict CIV
en- by the jury at the time the WeniN
land was condemned for the city the
Indian woman was given $4,000 fol
her property.
