is good world-the best we
know anything about-and there
are lots of good men and women

there were more Bill Kellys run

ruthersville. Having read so
much in one of our exchanges
about the evils of Charlottesville,
and the place being such near
neighbor, VIC took day off last
week and went down to look the
situation over and to see what
we could see." Of course we felt
fearful for our safety and were
very careful in venturing around,
but when we saw "kelly's Meat
Market" sign we took a chance
and entered. Bill met us with a
broad, Irish smile and showed
US through his place, and soon
we began to feel ashamed that
we ever had any fears of harm.
Bill had us make a thorough in
spection of his shop, calling our
attention to every detail, and
everything was as spick and span
as a girl dressed for a spring
picnic. When we were ready to
leave Bill took a sack and put in.

all-Bill gets the Herald and it is

such bad world, nor it matters
not what our Caruthersville eX.

a bad place when it has such
citizen as William Kelly living
there with his open hand and
heart and encouraging words.

two large elm trees. Court
square, the once beautiful farm,
the cemetery, and the old hedge
fence, are all now far out in the
river, and the eroding bank is
slowly eating it's way westward,
to eventually make Hayti a river

A CULTURAL SOUND.

The saloons are choking the life out
ofthe churches. charlottesville Argus.
The Bible says (Romans, J:2O),
But where SIN ahounded,
GRACE did much more abound"
Christ came not to call the
righteous but sinners to repent
ance." If there was no sin there
would be no need for any church,
or for any Christ. The one is the
positive, the other the negative
pole, the same as the electrical
current, and without both neither
could exist. Why this is so, we
do not know, but it is. No man
can explain electricity, and no
man but fool can fathom the
handiwork of an Allwise and AL
mighty God, and the fool only
thinks he can, and would change
the course of nature to suit his
standard of intinitesimal concep.
tions.
What is choking the churches
of Hayti to death, and we suspect
the same condition exists in Ca.
ruthersville and very nearly
everywhere else, is the bunch of
old pharasaical hypocrites who
have taken the churches in
charge and are running them to
suit themselves. 1t is from within
more than without the churches
are suffering, the truth of which
many of the best members
realize, but are powerless to help
themselves, for the hypOcrites
set themselves up for the rulers,
and they rule.

those we do receive, which Is q
we'll known rule of all publishers.
Last week we received one of
these communications through
the postoffice, signed Business

know that unsigned letters are
regarded not only with inditfer.
ence, but supreme suspicion. In
this instance we would follow our
usual custom, but we detect in
the effort at disguised writing
something out of the ordinary.
We quote verbatim this extracts:

Business Men" The, she or
they), states that gambling is
a subject about which he is we'll
informed. We do not care to dis
pute the statement, as it is proba-
bly, true. In this respect, how,
ever, Anonymous has the advan
tage, or the disadvantage, as you
please to call it, of the editor of
the Herald, for we absolutely
know nothing about gambling
and gamblers. AS to gambling
going on in a private hotel," we
have no means of knowing
whether the statement is true or
false. If our information is COR
rect, gambling is very private
sort of business, and if one gets
in the game he has to hunt it up
and hide out. We are not, and
never was, inclined that way, as
we always have and always eX.

enforce the law. 1t is no more
our duty, and not as much. to
have the law enforced against

Anonymous that we are for the

do this: If he, Business Men,"
will furnish US his name, we will
go to the telephone and call
Prosecuting Attorney Bragg and |
tell him that Anonymous is in
possession of information that
gam milling is going on in this city.
When we do this Mr.. Bragg will
get busy and require "Businese
Men" to file information against
the gamblers, and if his evidence
is sufficient to convict, they will
be properly punished. 1t is all Il
very simple and easy matter,
Now, there is but one way for
" Business Men" to get out of the
hole he has put himself into, and
that is to make known his
identity. To remain silent and
in hiding is to acknowledge he is
not sincere, and that he would not
enforce the law if he could.

IL. 5. TRADE NOTE tn
BRITAIN GOES SOON
President. Finished With Sub Quarrel,
Will Work For American
Commerce.

One of the first results of the re
| moVal OF the German submarine CON-
| troversy from the critical stage will
be the dispatch to Great Britain of a
note dealing with British interference
with American trade with the neutral
countries of Europe.
This note. prepared some time ago
at the State Department, has been
withheld from transmission to London
on account Of the most serious ASPECT
which the controversy with Germany
has borne up to very recently Pres
ident Wilson was unwilling to take
up this issue with Great Britain in a
vigorous manner until the eventual
outcome of the issue with Germany
had been clearly indicated
1t Is stated that the note is merely
reiteration of the position of the
United States with regard to the Brit
ish practices respecting the application
of the laws Of contraband. and block
ade. The views of this government
on these questions have been set forth
at considerable length in previous
notes. The new note, however, will
assert the American position more
vigorously. and will give particular
attention to the claims made by the
British government in justification of
its acts.
The difference between the previous
notes. and the one to be sent soon, is
described as what might be expected
from the fact that the previous notes
were, written as warning to Great
Britain as to how the United States
would view certain acts, while the
latest note has been written not only
after the acts referred to have been
committed. but also after the British
government has submitted a defense
Of them which Is not acceptable to
this government.

MOTOR BOAT SHIPMENT
NOT UNNEUTRAL ACT
State Department Refuses German
Request to Hold Up Sub
Scouts.

The United States government does not
consider its neutrality is violated by the
fact that motorboats built in this coun-
try. are being shipped to England and
France, presuma bly, for service in the
scout patrols against German submarines.
The State Department mas SO informed
the German Embassy.
This action was taken at the depart
ment as a result of a protest received
from the German Embassy. asking that
a shipment OF six such vessels be held
up. 1t was alleged that the boats were
being placed on a liner loading at Boston
for transportation to England.
The neutrality board of the State De-
partment. which investigated the matter
and formulated the departments deci-
sion found that the boats were unarmed
and unarmored. and were not. In the
form in which they were to be shipped
from this country, available only for
service as vessels of war. Consequently,
it was held that there was no violation
of United States neutrality.
