DRAW nigh unto Me, and / will draw

Asa, king of Judah, was the great
grandson OF King Solomon. The spirit
Of worldliness which occupied the latter
part of King Solomon's reign, and whicn
led TO the splt-of Of the ten tribes
under Rehoboam, his SON. met with some
measure of check during King Asa's
reign When the ten-tribe kingdom,
called Israel, revolted and went into
idolatry. the influence affected the king
dom Of Judah 10 some extent. Images
Of Baal and groves for the practice of
the licentious orgies Of his worship grew
in numbers in Judah, until King Asa's
time As a reformer, he set about the
overthrow Of idalatrous worship and tie
substitution Of the true religion of the
God of Israel, inougurated by Moses and
the Law Covenant.
We know not the influence operating
upon King Asa 10 take a course so diff.
ferent from that of his father and his
grandfather. Perhaps he was learning
from the experience of his people, His
first endeavors TO obliterate idolatry
eeem to have been only partially effect
i've. He next turned his attention to the
fortifying of his own country. Then
came war with the Egyptian invader,
Zerah, with an immense host, one mil
lion strong, with three hundred iron
chariots. They came upon the kingdom
of Judah from the south. seeking for
spoils; and their numbers and reputed
strength made them a terror.
Under these circumstances the Lords
message to King Asa. through Azariah
the Prophet, was especially strong. The
Prophet pointed out the adversities OF
the ten-tribe kingdom as being because
they were without the true God, without
the Law. without the teaching priests
q Kings l5:lG-30) They had gotten
into an anarchous condition, with NO
peace to anybody. Yet the Lord had
helped them whenever they turned Ia
Him. God always shown His will
ingness to bless those who desired to b

manifested such a disposition; and now
he had the encouraging message, "B'

strong. therefore; and let not your hands
be weak; for your work shall be re-
warded.'
This message encouraged the king to
put away further the idolatries and to
renew the altar Of the Lords House. As
a consequence, he had the support of the
most godly people of his own land; and
many came from the ten-tribc kingdom
who still respected God and His prom
ises. They were glad to get 10 a place
where Jehovah was worshiped.
God blessed King Asa and his people
in their repulse of the invasion of Zerah
and his hosts. The spirit of reverence
for God was greatly increased. The
people were in a religious mood, and a
great national awakening along religious
lines followed They entered into a COW
enant with the Lord that all opposed to
God should be put to death.
The Lessons Import to Us.
Applying this lesson TO our day, we
see the people everywhere in idolatry-
not only the heather who worship be-
fore idols of bronze, wood and stone, but
also the more civilized who have set mp
creed idols. These latter, printed with
ink upon paper, describe Gods character
in terms equally repulsive with the idols
of the heathen. The true God is little
known.
Our creed idols represent God as a
great monster, a demon They pic
ture God as deliberately planning for
the creation of our race, with fore
knowledge and intention that nearly
all should spend eternity in horrible
torture at the hands Of fire-proof
devils. They picture the Church as
the elect class, taken TO Heaven to
look over the battlements and wit
ness the horrible sufferings of all the
non-elec
These horrible idols are no longer
respected by the more intelligent; ;
but they are still recognized and wor.
SHIPPED by the masses. The true God
is proportionately rejected and un-
known. They are indeed told that He
is a God of love, at the same time
that they are told that He is roast
ing thousands of millions. and pre-
meditated their present sufferings
from before the foundation OF the
world. All talk about His Justice
and His Love is thus discounted in
advance; and the people. bound by
ignorance and superstition to these
idols. which are centuries old, are
suffering from their ignorance.
We need today an Asa to arise and
encouraged by Gods promises, to
shatter Christendom's great creed
idols, and to liberate the people from

savagery was slave, under the varie,
changes from barbarism to civilization
she has been forced to obedience and /,
drudgery, and now that she has evolved
to the level with man almost shall W,
deny her the next and last step Of
equality in fact and in law?
There is no valid excuse for Withhold
the ballot from women.
But, as stated in the outset, the time
is coming when woman's suffrage will
be universal, and should by all means
be first accepted by Democracy, OF which
it is, in the very nature of things, a
part.
As Tolstoi said in his prophetic dream,
the day is coming for universal democ-
racy, and with it the emancipation Of
womankind as an equal with her male
companion.

Railroad Assistance.

If it benefits the community, it ben
etits the railroad" was the motto of tbt
N, G. q st. l.. system under the Ions
and successful administration Of Mai.
j. w. Thomas. On larger scale anC
broader basis the old and popular policy
seems to have the hearty approval oil
the newly elected president, Col. John
Howe Peyton. In the early spring oil
1914 he established in 'the barrens, u
a poor, worthless section of waste lands
around Tullahoma, a demonstration
farm. 1t was well supplied with i'm
pIements, stock and laborers, presided
over by young man farmer, who un-
derstood soil needs and plant culture.
Put on the job in March he produced
last year on ten acres an average of
l 900 pounds per acre, the finest SAM
pie of tobacco marketed in Tennessee
this season. Corn, crimson clover and
rye were also produced In satisfactory
quantities and quality the highest. On
another plot splendid growth Of alfalfa
is growing. And all this was done and
is being accomplished in one of the
poorest counties in the State, the aver
age assessed valuation OF Coffee County
farms for 1914 being $2.62 per acre.
and can be purchased at from SO. 90 to
$50. 90 per acre.
In addition to the above farm Mr..
Peyton has procured lands at or near
Dickson and also at Martin, over in
Weakley, and will have experts in
charge at both places during the COM
ing season.
Down in Fayette County, we notice
Mr.. Peyton and his able corps of indus
trial assistants are cooperating with the
corn club boys, and have recently au
thorized the free delivery at Somerville
of 100 tons of crushed lime rock, which
Will be distributed through the county
demonstration agent at that place.
Quite an expensive undertaking: bring

points where most beneficial; demon

The Fee Bill.

Last week We published the text o
the fee bill without comment. The
Commercial always tries to have al
opinion, whether it is worth anything
or not. But unless one tries, as Lin
coin Mcconnell says, he never amounts
to anything. One Of the things that is
eating and sapping the foundations OF
good government, destroying the essence
of Democracy, is public extravaganza
and graft, Our county officers are not
grafters. They are working under a
system that was equitable and fair when
it was devised, but it has outgrown these
conditions. The fees that accrue to the
in the big counties Of Shelby,
Hamilton and Knox are alto
gether out of reason, but those who
hold the offices in the smaller counties
are not oyerpaid to any considerable
extent.
Yet with all this the system needs
revision. But in revising it something
Else needs to be done besides the elm
nation Of the fee system and the sub

stltution OF salaries. This does no
reach. the heart of the trouble. ThS
people are not relieved in the adoption
OF this bill, but the State treasury i,
benefited by it alone, the source from
which the biggest graft originates. TIC
turn the fees back into the State treas
ury and pay out of it the salaries OF
the officials, does not help the people
or the taxpayers a nickel, but causes a
fund to accrue in the treasury for big
ger graft and extravaganza by the Leg
islature and the lobby.
Unless these fees, or the excess of the
fees over the salaries, were converted
into fund for paying the State debt,
this bill would be to add confusion to
the present system instead of relieving
and simplifying matters 1t would do
more than that. 1t would necessitate
the election or appointment OF an addi-
tional officer for each county to audit
the books of the county officers and see
that the reports of fees collected were
properly executed and returned. The
substitution OF the salary plan. would
cause a lack of interest in the collec-
ton OF fees, and probably decline in
the revenues thus collected.
There are number of things to be
done before the fee bill is adopted. A
should be appointed, in the
first place, to devise a thorough and
practical plan of collecting these fees
SO that the people of the State would
De benefited by the change instead of
he State treasury. That was the orig
nal intention, as we understand it, of
he campaign against the fee system.
How this may be done we do not pro-
'ose to say. 1t will have to be done
y commission of men who are more
apahle of the work than has been dis
layed by the authors of the Ashcroft .
ill.
1t has been said that the bill was in
'oduced for the purpose of influencing
ther legislation and without any seri-
us intention of having it passed. If
lat is so it is probably already dead,
ut to adopt it in the present form
ould be very premature, to say the
ast of it.

Two Things Coming.

4 man SAID the other day that he was
paid q wager of five dollars made that
the bars in the hotels of Memphis would
never be closed. The bars were closed
aud the bet was lost. This shows that
sentiment is gradually changing about
Prohibition. aud that men, who have
been ridieuhng the idea. are gradually
learning to admit the truth. Prohibit
ton is coming and with itwoman'S suf-
frage, Just as sure us God made little
apples.
Come to think Of it why should any
Democrat object to woman's suffrage.
Democracy means universal suffrage and
that no man should undertake to abridge
his neighbours franchise, Democracy
means individual sovereignty, and the
fact that women are not allowed to vote
is merely a sentiment which custom has !
crystalliEed into the iallacy and injustice
of our present system. To say that in-
telligent women should be clasSed with
ignorant negroes and criminals in the
extension Of suffrage is without doubt
premise or position of the most I'M
nature.
Woman, the weaker vessel, under
