ably for the protection of the
public welfare on individuals who
voluntarily seek to engage in such
service.
"A strike by enlisted men would be
mutiny, the punishment for which, of
course, should be fixed by law. Co
incidentally with legislation of this
kind l would hope to see legislation
providing ample safeguards for the
protection of all just rights of the en-
listed men, including the right of
petition for the redress of grievances,
with adequate provision for the OBJ
tanning of redress wherever justified"
Congressman Tavenner, who first
dug up and gave some publicity to
the Towne letter, commented on the
matter today as follows:
Governor Foss' proposition fol-
lows closely the plan for subjugating
labor that Towne has in mind In
answering questions put by Senator
Reed on the witness stand, Mr..
Towne declared that he expects to
live to see his proposition enacted in
to law. Governor Foss proposes to put
it into law. Mr.. Towne estimated
that 100000 wageworkers would be
included in his scheme of enlistment
subject to punishment as mutiny in
case of strikes. The argument adj
vanced by Mr.. Towne that service is
voluntary, not compulsory is ficti-
tious. No labor is voluntary; all la
Dor is compulsory, since self-respect-
ing men must labor to live and must
accept the jobs which are offered.
Union men who read this letter
and then read of Governor Foss'
proposition to actually put it into
concrete form should ask themselves
if there is anything standing between
them and the condition Mr.. Towne
expects to see during his lifetime ex-
cept the labor union"

GET THE RIGHT SORT OF A MAN
FOR THIS PLACE.

Cabinet makers are persistently
placing Mr.. Burleson of Texas in Mr..
Wilson's official family as secretary
of agriculture.
Mr.. Burleson may be a very able
man and might fill some of the cabinet
offices with great credit, but Mr..
Burleson will not do as a secretary OF
agriculture. The tendency of his mind
is not toward the soil and the things
thereof
Mr.. Burleson spent short term at
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege of Texas. Then he was in Baylor
University and the University of
Texas, and became lawyer in 1884.
Until 1890 he was assistant city attor-
ney at Austin Then he was district
attorney until 1896. All the years since
that time he has been in congress.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Burleson's
activities have been in law and pol
itics. Mr.. Wilson might make him at
torney general or secretary of state,
but he should not fill the most impor,
tant position in the cabinet when his
training is not in the work of that
position.
A well-informed, modern farmer OF
teacher of farming, practical man
yet a man educated il things of agri
culture, is the sort of person thai
should go in as successor to Uncle

Appeal.
The Eagle editor was in college witt
Albert Burleson, and while he's got
bushel basket full OF brains, it does
not run to sorghum and fodder. He
would not know alfalfa from milo
maize.
The secretary of agriculture, as the
Commercial Appeal wisely says
should be a sure enough farmer
Texas has a number of men who
would measure up to every re
quirement, but Albert Burleson is no
on the list. E. W. Kirkpatrick, H. e

THE BIBLE.

The book we call the Bible con-
tinues to be the worlds best seller.
1t has no competitor for the popular
favor, if we may judge by it's constant
lead from year to year and from cen
fury to century
First of all, of course, the Bible is
literature. 1t sets forth history; it
gives us poetry; it INDUCES in fiction,
not a fiction intended to mislead or
deceive, but rather to instruct and to
inspire.
But it is not for its literary quail
tiles that men and women buy the
Bile; other literature is more engross-
ing. But the book is bought for it's
inspiration to higher things.
Nowhere does the Bible compromise
with wrong, and always it is seeking
to quicken faith-the faith which
saves from the mean, the low, the
vile and the vulgar.
| Faith being a heart principle, the
Bible writer's go straight to the heart
with their appeal No time is wasted
! in argument; from first to last it is a
call to the heart Now set your heart
and your soul to seek the Lord your
God"-so runs the Old Testament
message. 81 will praise thee with all
my heart" said the psalmist. And in
the New Testament this is the procla-
nation: IF thou shalt confess with
thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath
raised him from the dead, thou shalt
be saved"
If the Bible were a philosophical
treatise, one might have to read il
from beginning to end to reach a con
clusion. But it isn't that; it is neither
Kant nor cant, but is message .froin
God, judged by its contents. Hence il

The fat man, hoping to get thin and
willowy and pink, to sacrifice MS

shrink, eats things which have no heat

the living skeleton may gorge himself

he is done, the same old fieshless dub
In vain the man who breaks the scale
would find of fat sercease; his foolish
torturings will fail to rid him of his

ecstasy; and let no fodder be denied

take the gifts the gods provide, and

DEFECTIVE GEAR
Caused Wreck of Auto Sunday After
noon lnjuring One.


A defective rod in the steering gear
of. the automobile of James Caldwell,
residing near this city, caused the
wreck of the machine Sunday after
noon about four o'clock, when it broke,
sending the machine crashing through
a wire fence, throwing the occupants
out and seriously injuring Allen Ingles
of Millersburg.
The accident occurred at the inter
section of the Maysville and Riddles
Mills pike The car was driven by
Frank Caldwell who was accompan-
led by Ingles, Will Powell and Dick
Mcdaniel, all of Millersburg.
Caldwell, it is said was driving the
car car at low rate of speed when
the. defective rod broke, turning the
car from it's course in the road into a
ditch and through wire fence. The
occupants were thrown out, Ingles sus-
tanning severe injuries, while his COM
panions escaped with few slight
scratches.
In an unconscious condition the in
jured man was taken to his home in
Millersburg in the automobile of Mr..
Orie Lebus, of Cynthiana, who hap
pened to be passing. When he reach
ed home he was attended by DR.. Bruce
| Smith.
One ear had been torn loose by the
| force of the fall and he was otherwise
injured. Yesterday he was conscious
only at intervals and his attending
physician is unable to determine al
this time the extent of his injuries
which though serious are not thought
to be fatal.
