To Make Effort For Peace.

The forthcoming Papal encyclical, the
issue of which has been purposely de-
layed until the result OF the decisive bat
tie is known, will contain an appeal for
peace.
Pope Benedicte has approached Aus
tria and Germany through their ENJOYS
at Rome and both informed the Pontiff
that they are favorably disposed to Sec
ond his efforts FOR peace.
The Gar is understood to be prepared
to submit the Pope's offer to the defer
entail consideration of Great Britain and
France. Pope Benedicte hopes that his
appeal may lead to an armistice, which
would be a prelude to peace.

WORKING THE ROADS.

Evidently the people Of the progress
sive little town of McMinnville, in
Warren county, believe the old adage
that the best way to get thing done
and done right Is to do it yourself.
They have all agreed and the mayor
has set the day aside as holiday, to
give a whole days work to finishing
a pike from their town to the DeKalb
county line, twelve miles distant.
The county recently piked all Of the
roads leading to the county site to a
distance Of half way to the county
line. The money ran out and the
work was stopped, but the progress
sive folks are not satisfied. They are
going to finish the job on this road
and when they get it done they will
try to finish other pixies. It Is plan
ned to put more than a thousand men
to work on the road on the day set
apart and the folks along the line will
serve big dinner.
That is splendid way to work the
roads. There are many cross roads
and neighborhood roads in Maury
county that should be built in the
same way and it could be done If the
people would 60 to work on one or
two days with will and lay aside
all other matters for the time. And
the result would be worth much
more than the effort. II would pay,
as good roads always do, very hand
somely. 1t takes work and some
money to obtain good roads, but they
are worth all Of the effort that they
cost People are standing In their
own light when they refuse to re-
cognize the Importance Of road i'm.
provement.

A HOPEFUL. SIGN.

Maury county regulare are making
progress; they deserve congratula-
lions upon the good work that they
did Saturday. The action of the con-
vention cannot be unreservedly COM
mended, but it is too much to expect
everything at once. The endorse
ment Of Burrows was unfortunate; it
would mean defeat If the state con-
vention dominates candidate
against Williams, and it is to be hop
ed that wiser counsels will prevail
and that all partise in the state will
be committed to non-partisan and
non-political judiciary.
But in the main the regulars show
Cd a high appreciation of the real
conditions in Tennessee. They are
not going to march through slaught-
or house to an open grave Just for
the fun Of doing so and incidentally
10 serve the liquor interest in Ten.
Aessee. The reactionaries, the old
dscredited regular machine, received
. severe blow in the Saturday meet
ing, one from which 1t will not soon
recover.
The reactionaries made a game
night. they would not be reformed, 30
they were destroyed. It is a sign Of
better things in politics when maj
ority Of the regular democrats make
q determined effort to cut away the
barnacles that have bound the party
10 defeat; that have discredited the
very naem Of democracy.
While the convention could have
done better; the reform element
could have made its victory more
complete had 1t had better organi-
ration, nevertheless It has blazed
the way for better politics in Maury
county. And in so far as its action
contributes to better things in gov
eminent it is entitled to and will
have the cordial approval Of this in
dcpendent newspaper.

MAKING PROGRESS.

They have been having great
conference in Memphis. 1t has dis
cussed most Of the problems of man
kind. There have been all sorts OF
proposals for reforming the world
made during the sessions of the con
ference. Some would abolish the
penitentiaries and the jails; others
would with some scheme end all pow.
erty and misery; others would equal
lie living conditions. Many Of the
suggestions made have been vison.
airy and not likely in this day and
time to be realized.
But out of it all much good will re-
suit. The world is making progress;
conditions are improving all of the
time. It requires the men with Wis.
ions, those who can pierce the future
with prophetic vision to bring about
an improvement of conditions. The
world was not made in a day and 1t
will not be made perfect in a day or
a generation, but the fact that more
and more we are coming to a realiza-
ton of our duties and responsible
ties to the poor, the afflicted and the
criminal shows that we are steadily
advancing. The day for the univer-
sal brotherhood Of man has not yet
dawned in this old world, but It is
much nearer than it was a generation
ago, it will be much nearer a decade
from now than 1t is at this time.
The influence Of Christianity, of
practical, living Christianity is more
potent in the affairs Of the world to-
day than it has ever been. The
teachings of Christ are held in great
er respect than they have ever been.
More people are trying more earnest
ly than ever before in the worlds his
tory to apply the golden rule to the
problems of life. We have found out
that serving humanity is the highest
service to God. We are literally
applying the scriptural Injunction to
Feed my Lambs" Conferences like
the meeting at Memphis increase our
faith in the goodness Of human kind.

BUY THE Pixies.

If the Columbia Board Of Trade
will persistently follow VI the cam
paign which it has launched for free
turnpikes in Maury county until sue,
cess has crowned its efforts 1t will
have achieved more for the city and
county than it possibly could by fol-
lowing any other road. 1t will re
quire a campaign of education, an
earnest and faithful effort, good and
hard and consistent work, but the
result will be worth all o. the cost.
There is no reason why, in the very
important matter of public high
ways, this county should lag behind.
On the contrary there is every rea
son why it should be abreast of the
best sentiment of the time.
No people in the history of the
world who have achieved great re-
suits and attained to the highest de.
gree of civilization, have been in
different to the value of good high.
ways, of easy means of inter-com-
munication. The greatest monu-
ments that the Roman empire. build
ed were it's great highways. The
countries of Europe which are in the
forefront of civilization have the best
roads. Russia has no roads of con.
sequence and it lags far behind the
onward march Of events.
This county should own its roads,
The day of the toll road, like the
day of draw bridges and the moat
around our cities has gone aud gone
forever. In recent years county after
county in Tennessee has acquired
the roads within it's borders Others
have invested millions In the build
ing Of pubic roads. No franchises
are being granted now to individuals
for the building of pixies. Next to
the schools of the country the roads
come in Importance. In fact free
schools and free roads, both of the
very best quality, are th4 very hand
maids Of civilization. Together they
will make this country great and
prosperous. Together they will give
us an enlightened citizenship.

JUDGE WILLIAMS.

w nat ID the uOmo TeCOTu VI bnE
man who has been endorsed for the
office OF supreme judge by the repub
lican and the independent democratic
state conventions, and who now
stands to be endorsed by the regular
democracy, or rejected because he
was appointed by Gov Hooper?
Judge Williams came to this coun-
ty from West Tennessee twenty-five
years ago and entered into partner
ship with Judge S. ]. Kirkpatrick, and
the firm stood among the foremost in
this section, commanding large
practice.
AS lawyer, Judge Williams show
ed preference and adaptibility for
chancery practice and conducted the
largest litigations ever conducted in
Upper East Tennessee, several to the
supreme court of the United States.
AS citizen, no man in the commu-
nifty has given more Of his time and
service to the advancement of the
public veal. He has served on COM
mittees of the Commercial club ever
since it existed; he was the city's
spokesman making the argument for
the location of the State Normal at
Johnson City before the locating
commission; and the argument for
the southern route before the State
gratis as one of the Citizens Water
commission in the supervision of the
construction of cur $4,000 water
works system.
AS business man he was one of
the founders and has been the presi-
dent Of the Unaka National bank,
the growth of which to assets OF one
and one-quarter millions of dollars
is in largest part due to his influence
and judgment. He projected and
supervised the extension of the plan
by which the o. R. & c., now the c.,
G. & o. railway was extended into
North Carolina, adding two counties
by rail to this city's trade territory.
Jointly with the late Congressman
Brownlow he constructed the lines of
the Johnson City Traction company
connecting the city with the National
Soldiers home which property was
sold to an Eastern syndicate about
two years ago.
AS a churchIlan he has represent
ed the Southern Methodist church
in it's general conference For years
class in his church. This class is
perhaps the second largest one in the
state, enrolling 315 members, who
by vote named the class for Judge
Williams. He has not been stinted
in contributions to every good cause,
among which were $4,000 to the
Greeneyille Orphanage of his church,
for a boys dormitory, and $4,000 to
Johnson City for a public library.
1t scarcely needs to be said that
a man forceful and successful in SO
many lines of endeavor has incurred
the antagonism and outbreaking jeal-
ousy of few.
The record of this man on the
bench since 1912, is known to the
lawyer and people of the entire
state, who are able to pronounce
upon the question: Is he, on his
record, worthy and fit? In our opin-
ion they stand ready to so pronounce
in a most emphatic way.-Johnson
City Staff.
