London, Jan. 24.-Robert Bridges,
the poet laureate, makes an appeal in
the Teachers World for a purer kings
English.
He condemns the borrowing OF words
from other languages, which, he says,
are not spelled and pronounced as En-
glish and the sprinkling Of English prose
with italicized French words.
Believing that language is, or should
be, democratic, both in character and
origin" observed Dir. Bridges, and
that its best word makers are the I'M
educated and not the educated classes,
we should prefer vivid popular terms to
the artificial creations Of scientists.
I'VE shall often do better by inqulr-
ing, for instance, not what name the
aventor' gave to his new machine, but
what it is called by the workmen who
handle it, and in adopting their home
spun terms and giving them literary
currency we shall help to preserve the
living and popular character of our
speech.

To the Democratic Voters Of Obion

ton to the Office Of direct Representa-
tive of Obion County.
1 have reached this decision after hay-
ing conferred with a great many of my
friends as well as quite number Of NV
former political enemies, practically all
OF whom have asked me to run for re-
election.
A large majority Of the voters of this
county know the pledges l made to
them two years ago. They also know
that there was not single pledge that
| | made at that time in my printed state
ments in the press of the county that /
did not keep to the letter.
The platform on which l propose to
make this race now is the same as that
on which / made the race before the
Democratic primary two years ago.
favor the strict enforcement of the
Statewide Prohibition laws as they were
passed in 1909 and as they have been
amended in the recent sessions Of the
Legislature.
/ favor the enactment OF law that
will effectually prevent the breaking of
quorum of the Legislature, regardless
Of which faction or party may be in
power. If | 60 to the Legislature as
your representative, it will be to fight
for the principles advocate or believe
in and not to run to please any faction
or set of politicians.
As stated in my former campaign,
am a Democrat and believe in Demo-
cratic supremacy in Tennessee. / am
against the control of the affairs of this
State by. the Republican party in any
form or under any pretext.
Now, my record in the last Legisla-
ture is an open book. Those OF you
who approve Of that record, l shall be
very glad to have your support. Those
OF you who do not approve, OF course,
can not expect to be very enthusiastic
in your support of me for reelection.
In casting every vote that made / did
so thinking that | did the right thing
under the circumstances.
Now, / leave the matter with you and
express the hope that you will endorse
my record in the last session by send
ing me back to serve and represent you
second time as direct Representative.
Very respectfully,

War in Mexico.

The War Department plans are said
to contemplate spending $3.50, 600, DOC
on possible six months invasion Of
Mexico by an army of 560,0 men
and 81 800, 600 on the six months oc-
cupation by the same army reduced to
800, 900 men. The 260, 600 men lost
are the deterioration by death, sick
ness, wounds and desertion. These fg-
ures are thought to be conservative. Is
any reputable newspaper prepared to
urge this? Is any man in public life
prepared to take the responsibility
Golfers Weekly.
There are times in the affairs OF gov
eminent when no man considers the
cost Of war.
II the American people in 1861 had
known Of the enormous cost of life and
money the Civil War would entail, the
contemplation of the appalling bigness
OF the struggle and the waste would not
have halted the collision for moment.
The blowing up of the Maine was the
first roar of the hostilities between the
United States and Spain.
The question Of Intervention in Mex
leo will not be settled upon the cost,
but upon our duty.
1t begins to look as il there is way
out, but that way is tortuous and I'M
certain.
If we do go to war with Mexico the
appalling cost will not be in dollars and
cents, but in pension list which will
run for three-quarters OF century.
1t is more than so years since Vicks-
burg and Chickamauga. 1t is 40 years
since Appomattox. But the pension
roll for veterans and their families goes
marching on into higher figures. Mem

The Ladies Aid Society Of the First

ing.
1t has been the custom Of this society
for several years past to enjoy an all

on, about forty OF the members and
several Of the husbands and friends

ly: Divide the society into three circles
or bands, each to have as captain one
OF the e-presidents; any work done
by the manager or either of her meP-
bers to be reported at the first regular
meeting in each month. y AT these
monthly meetings light refreshments
will be served by such members as the
president may appoint from time to
time. Each of these circles will strive
to Guido the others in good deeds-in

The worlds output of wheat next year will break all records if nature does her part From all the great wheatproducng countries comes word that more land than ever before is to be in wheat this tau and next spring The increase is naturally most noticeable in the neutral countries. The stimulus comes from present high prices and the expectation of stn greater demand year.
 It may be assumed that the nations at war cannot produce their normal quantity Of grain while nearly ar the ablebodied men are away fighting, even though those nations are doing their best to maintain their production of foodstuns And may take years after the war is ended to bring European farms back to their normal fruitfulness because of inevitable lack O. farm machinery live stock capital and possibly labor It may be regarded as certain that for the next year or two at least Europe will buy enormous Quan titles of wheat
 It is possible that the farmers of the United staes will oyershoot the mark producing greater surplus han Europe needs next year. and thereby lowerni prices But the danger is slight and should have tu weight in determining the wheat acreage

Every lawyer and every reporter knows the difficulty of getting the truth about an from active ticpant It is generally necessary the statements of several witnesses and average them That is what the doctors have been doing in a Russian hospital at Moscow and their observations show that the soldiers accounts of their own battle experiences absurdly unreliable
 Of seventeen wounded men tested at one time twelve all intelligent betrayed curious passion for exag geration" At another time of nineteen wounded men the answers of sixteen were hopeless" One of them was known to have killed two Germans with a bayonet but he failed to remember until someone re minded him Most of the witnesses showed less modes y in their narratives soldiers who had he ped to capture six prisoners insisted that there 1000 of them
 The investigators that in the violence of action the soldiers perception confused He is so highly eT cited so intensely concentrated the work in hand that he acts unconscously or subconscously Ills in- stnc carries him on His judgment is lost Important things may leave no impression his mind, Trn5s may be tremendously magnihed And therefore the observers say nearly all soldiers involuntary liars
