The Newport plain talk. (Newport, Tenn.) 1909-1939, 1914-09-23

Bower would have been a big
man with Hooper if he had been
able to control him and to have
voted him against Shields for the
senate, but when he failed in this
it was all up with Boyer as far as
Hooper and his gang were con-
cerned. But if by any accident
Baby Oscar should get there nc
one would doubt for a moment
but what every vote the Baby
cast would be exactly as Hooper
dictated.

The Reward of Courtesy

From little sprouts big trees
will often grow.
We trample upon the sprouts of
today and gaze with admiration
upon the giants that were sprouts
.of a former generation.
And it is much the same in
municipal affairs. We think too
much Of, the ending and not
enough of the beginning. We
overlook the little things of today
which have in them the making
of the big ones of tomorrow.
This tendency of human nature
is strikingly illustrated in the case
of a gentleman who had occasion
to spend a week in a country
town, and was remarkably i'm
pressed by the uniform courtesy
shown him by the citizens of the
place.
Ii he was interested in public
building, or a park, or a manu-
featuring enterprise, a dozen men
were ready with information and

Baby Oscar says the school laws
of the state are all in a muss and
he just wants to get to the legis-
lature so he can take a hand in
Strengthening them out. Any law
that he could make or straighten
would not be worth the paper it
is written on. The way Gen. Rye
has shown up the manipulation of
the present school laws by Hoop
er and his dummies has proved
an eye opener to the people.

explanations, pointing out the
various advantages, and with ever
a good word for the people.
They made him welcome.
A few weeks later while travel
ing in another state he met a
manufacturer who was in search
of a change of location for his
plant. He mentioned the place
he had recently left, and spoke in
glowing terms Of the people their

We notice that Brady Henry has
refused to longer allow The Times

but the little lie-swearing scoun-

which its columns are filled is too
cowardly to put his name up as
editor.

A Citizen of the World.

In politics, as in life generally,
things which loom large momen-
tarily have a wayof shrinking out
of posterity's sight, while events
! which at the moment nearly es-
capped remark grow in significance.
1t is impossible as yet to know
just what Woodrow Wilson's
place in history will be, dependent
as it is on many and varied con-
illusions of unfinished business.
That he has grown in esteem in
very recent months, it would be
idle to deny. His great grief has
made men know him for what
they have sometimes forgotten
him to be: not professor only, not
statesman and partisan alone, but
a father-a man with mans re-
sponsibilities and trials. And now
the President issues two important
documents-an invitation to all
persons to pray on a certain day
that peace may be restored to
Europe; an announcement to his
party managers that he will take
no swing around the cicle" to
mend the fences of his party's rep
Iresentatives in congress. This
decision is not a surprise to any
one who knows Wilson and his
ways.
Whatever his defects and angles
land asperities-and time will
soften them and we shall grow
moreIconscious of his qualities
Mr.. Wilson is an American patriot
and a citizen, not of his own parish
only, but Of the world. His Presi-
dency, opening with the enact
ment Of promised legislation, has
been troubled by private be-
reavement, by Mexican explosions,
by partisan ebullition, and by the
greatest war in present memory.
Whatever mistakes we have
charged the President with, we
have never charged him with los
ling his head. His attitude toward
events in Mexico and in Europe
alike has been distinguished by a
large mindedness that we frankly
envy him. We congratulate this
country of ours that he has been
our White House ruler in these
months Of storm. -Collier's Week
ly.

characteristics, and especially of
their courtesy to the stranger
within their gates.
The manufacturer was much
impressed, and few days later
visited the place. He is there
now, with his factory and his $50
employees.
Truly, a mans tongue has a
wonderful influence upon the flu
ture of his own town.

Friends will be interested to
know that Roy Ruble has been
married to Miss Ethel Carr of La
Toilette. The Plain Talk does
not know the fortunate young
lady, but we have seen her and if
her qualifications anything like
compare with her beauty Mr..
Ruble has indeed made a happy
selection of a life partner.

FEEDING GERMANY
IS LURE TO SWEDEN
But Norway's Sympathies
Are with Britain, Who
Protects Her Trade.

London, Sept. british officials are
watching the attitude of Norway and
Sweden in the present war with great
interest.
Travellers returning to London from
the Scandinavian Peninsula say it is
evident hat the Norwegians Iuitc gem
orally sympathizc with Great Britain,
the feeling being that the British navy
offers protection to Norwegian in
terests.
The "Dagens Nyheter," a radical
journal of Stockholm, in its issue Of
September 6 says the.successes Of Ger
many had impressed the Swedish press
dsproportionately, although the par
TALLY of the Swedish press is now
admitted.
After examining the German and
English White Books the elitor of the
"Dagens Nyheter" says:
at is impossible to say that Great
Britain, France and Belgium desired
this catastrophe; they undoubtedly did
all they could tc avoid it. II was Rus
STA, Germany. Austria, and even Ser
via, which played the principal parts.
1t is still uncertain whether Germany
was informed of the nature Of the Ill
timatum delivered by Austria to Servia,
but these diplomatic documents give
evidence that it was Germany who OPP
posed Sir Edward Grey's proposal for
a conference in London. It appears from
the kilograms from Emperor Mich olas
of Russia to Emperor William of Ger
many about August that mutual dis
trust tended TO make an agreement i'm
possible"
In conclusion this paper says:
Sweden as a source of food supplies
for Germany holds a strategic po-
sition."
