The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1914-05-01

Last Monday evening, while switching
cars at the smelter ore bins, at Copperhlll'
w. B. Standridge, one of the best-known
railroad men in the Ducktown Basin, was
almost instantly killed from fall from the
top of car.
1t seems electricians were strlngng new
cables about the plant and were at work on
one that crossed the track leading to the
ore bins. When the train was going to the
bins, it is said the wire was at least SIX feet
above Mr.. Standridge's head. AS the train
was backing out, the slack in the cable was
suddenly let out and it cought him about
the waist line, knocking him from the car.
He must have struck the ground head frst'
as huge cash in that member was the
only mark upon him.
The news spread like wild-hre through
the yards and as friends picked him up and
carried him away expressions OF sorrow
and regret were heard upon all sides.
His mother. in-law, Mrs. Mary c. Brock,
of Ducktown, was notified, and, although

Political GOSSIP

The reduction in the size Of the Bull
Moose vote indicated this year as com
pared 10 the 1872 vote throughout
Michigan, bids fair to wipe out Bun
Moose representation in the state sem
ate. There may be scattering few
elected, ou the third party ticket to the
house, but the present outlook is that
the Bun Moose candidates for the sem
ate viii have Iook-in only in u couple
u districts
IN no district where they failed to
elect d state senator in 1912 are the
Mooscrs ever being considered this
year. They elected six senators in 1912,
and four Of these are not candidates
for second terms. Those retiring are
Clarence j.. Gittius, of Highland Park;
Edwin j. curtis, Of Flint; Joe IL. Had
den Of Holland, and Chas r. Vinegar,
N Iron Mountain. Senator Curtis re-
joined the Republican year ago and
now is tie leading candidate for lieu
tcnaut-goyernor on the Republican
state ticket. The others have retired
from politics entirely.
While it would be blind figuring to
count the Moosers out entirely in the
four districts these men represent.
present odds are in favor Of Republic
can senators being chosen from all of
them.
j. Weston Hutchins, Of the Hillsdale-
Jackson district, and William II. Ais
wcdc Of the Bay Midland district, are
the Two Bull Moose senator's seeking
reelection. Neither will have oppose
ton in the primaries. Reports from
their districts indicate that enough
voters have returned to the Republi-
can party to make their recollection
doubtful, at least.

Permit me to use a short space in
your paper in regard to our proposed
Sunday school outing tomorrow az

quirer' by some of his remarks to cas-.
"A slur on our Norwegian Lutheran
church Of this place and their Sunday
school.
Maybe we do him wrong by drawing
the inference from the tone Of his ar
hcle that il was the disappointment;
in not having the opportunity of par
taking in the Sunday automobile races
rather than concern for the sacredness
OF the Lords day that actuated his re-
marks.
We wish to have no quarrel with
inquirer but the motive for an an
swer regarding this question of Sun
day Dissertation is TO set ourselves
right before the public who has 4
right TO know or not we as citizens OF
this community are law breakers.
We do not intend to dictate To In
quirer' the kind of amusement that
would be best for him. In this, n per-
son may use his own judgment as long
as his choice does not conflict with the
laws OF our country, or that his man
ner OF enjoying himself does not in

Inquirer" wishes to know what diff

Sunday automobile races and the Sun
day school outing at Traverse Bay. IL
is pity that some people are so seem
ingly Ignorant on moral questions and
Christian principles as to draw such
comparison. Certainly, we are to have
devotional services in connection with
this outing" We believe I'm worship
ing God and conducting ourselves as
Christian people in or out of town.
There can be no essential difference
whether we come together under the
roof of a church building or under the

worship in spirit and in truth"

WHAT THEY WOULD BE FIGHT.
ING FOR.

| An attempt has been made OF late
10 prove that war is becoming impos-
sible because IL does not pay, and be-
cause the world is becoming CONNER
cialized, says the Springfield Republi-
can. Certainly international capital is
IA powerful agency for peace. except
when it happens 10 be interested in
munitions OF war. But IL seldom hap
pens that the issue OF war or peace
can be stated in terms Of dollars and
cents, and ian the present case, while
sober business interests will work for
peace, there are complicating factors
difficult 10 control. None OF the coun-
tries concerned is under the illusion
that war on SO portentious a scale
would pay II is worth while, then, 10
consider what constrains each OF the
nations caught in the devils coil.
Austria would be fighting to crush
pan-Slavic agitation among her sub
iects and incidentally TO extend Aus
trian domination on the Balkan PENN
sula.
Seryia would be fighting TO resist
suhjugation by Austria. and incident
ally TO release 100000 serbs from
Austrian despotism.
Russia would bc lighting to main
tain her prestige as head OF the Slavic
race and incidentally TO establish Rus
sian hegemony in the near East.
Germany would be lighting to fulfill
her treaty obligations TO her ally Aus
tria and incidentally TO cripple for a
generation the rising power Of Russia,
which is a menace on the Baltic.
France would be fighting as the
ally Of Russia, and incidentally 10 re-
cover the lost provinces of Alsace-
Lorraine.
Italy would be lighting as the ally
OF Germany and Austria, and Incl
dentaly to safeguard her interests i'm
Albania.
England would be fighting to sup
port France and Russia in their effort
TO cripple her naval rival Germany,
and incidentally to preserve the bal
ance OF power.
1t will be seen that the chain grows
and italy are not involved as deeply as
the powers at the center. Italy is a
member of the triple alliance, but
Austria and Germany have a special |
treaty which makes them on the ques-
ton practically one power. England |
has cast in its fortunes with the triple |
entente, but not irrevocably: there is |
no such neXus as between France and |
Russia. France looks TO Russia as |
against the German men
ace; therefore, for France to fail in
oyalty to Russia would be suicidal
But till war actually comes, France |
IS free 10 work for peace, and its in
lucnce is now being cast on that side
equally against war are England and
tally, and being semi detached mem
,ers OF the alliance, with no concern
n the immediate cause Of war or in
he rivalry between Slav and Teuton,
t would be natural for them to pair
VI and remain neutral. Yet Italy
.ould not with equanimity see the
.astern shore of the Adriatic, includ-
NJ Southern Albania, fan into the
lands Of another power, and might
iecome involved in case a great war
hould once start. Undcs those cOndi-
ions England, too, might find it diff
ult 10 hold aloof In this chain Of
ause and effect lies the danger that if
var should once start, it would take i'm
early the whole Of Europe.
