The PEACE MISSION.

Ford's peace mission to Europe is
Of very doubtful result. 1t is proba-
bly, too early to attempt to exert out
side influence in the final settlement
of the war The combatants are not
yet ready to listen to reasonable
terms Of peace. AS matter of fact
peace at this time would be misfor-
tune to the world. To leave Germany
in control of Belgium and Austria in
Serbia would be to make inevitable
another war at some future time with
the probabilities of successful re-
sistance to the imperial encroach-
ments of the Teutonic allies very con
siderabiy reduced. While the nations
of Europe are engaged in this war it
shrould and must be fought to final
conclusion. A peace now would set
tie absolutely nothing. 1t would not
curb the militarism of the German en-
plre. 1t would leave that country
stronger than ever and liberty in Eu-
rope would be greatly imperiled and
democratic institutions would be con
stantly menaced.
The gentlemen who are going to
Europe with Mr.. Ford will unques-
tionably have a good time Mr.. Ford
will be an elegant host. They will
have the best that is to be obtained;
they will see and observe a great deal
and the newspaper men Of the party,
of whom there are a number, will get
much valuable and interesting mate
rial for copy" but otherwise the re-
suits of the trip will not be note
worthy.

THE BURNED CHURCH.

While many sweet associations and
historic memories cling about the old
First Presbyterian church which was
victim of the flames THURSDAY
morning, and its destruction is to be
regretted as we always mourn he
passing of beloved and faithful Old
land mark, it's place will be taken
soon by a handsOmer, larger and a
more modern structure, one that wild
be in every respect worthy Of one
of the greatest congregations in all
the state No church has had a finer
history than the First Presbyterian
church here. 1t was organized While
most of what is Maury county was
yet a trackless wilderness, before the
county itself was brought into be-
ing. 1t began to minister to the
poor, to save sinners and to influence
and sweeten the lives of those OF the
community while Tennessee's star
was yet one of the youngest in the
great constellation of this glorious
Union. Jackson and Polk and John
son were yet to become great and
famous.
This church was organized here
b. the hardy and stalwart pioneers
who have left their everlasting i'm
press upon the citizenship of this
county. They were the forebears Of
many who hold now the highest
places in the confidence and esteem
of the people of the county The
Presbyterians are great people
Taking him altogether, John Knox is
entitled to be called the first nan Of
Scotland. To him more than to all
others is due credit for the final
triumph of professionalism in Scotland
in the long, and at times, unequal
contest with RomanlSm. he was
able, courageous, bold, uncompromis-
ing and constant He was austere
and gloomy and had little charity for
his opponents, but he was one man
whom power could not overawe nor
wealth bride.
The Presbyterians still have many
of the virtues that characterized the
kirk of Scotland. They are intensely
loyal to convictions, unyielding in
their adherence to principle and
generous in their support of the
church. The First church here has
had a splendid history with its new
building it is destined to do a yet
greater service for God and human
ity.

QUESTION or SINCERITY

When Pattersons sincerity was
questioned he flew into a passion and
eloquently appealed to the people for
sympathy. lie denied the right of
any man, in the first primary, to ques-
ton the absolute sincerity of his con-
version to the cause that he had
fought all of his life He was bitter
in denunciation of all who assumed
that he was not wholly sincere in his
new found zeal for the cause of pro-
hibition. Certainly there was, under
all the circumstances, some reason to
at least suspect the purity of the ex-
governors motives. His life, accord
ing to his own confession, had not
been altogether such as to stand as
a witness in his behalf, to use the
expression of the lawyers. And it is
a principle Of the law, as old as the
law itself, that ones clean life ana
good reputation stand as a witness
for him just as a contrary life ana
reputation stand as a witness against
him.
Under the circumstances therefore
1t is simply amazing that the ex-gov-
ernor in his strife breeding, trouble
making campaign against the plurar
tty nominee of his party, can have
the exceeding great nerve" to cues
ton any ones sincerity. But that
is exactly what Patterson is doing
He asks everyone to accept his own
profes sions, no matter how recent, at
their face value but he denies Mr..
Mckelar the right to be believed by
the people Of Tennessee. Not only
that tie ex-governor makes war upon
all OF the prohibitionists of the state
who are not supporting him now. A
majority of the prohibitionists of Ten
nessee will vote for Mr.. Mcclellan.
but Patterson denonces them. Hear
him, when he says; ut is no longer
"A question of my sincerity but uues-
t ion Of the sincerity of the prohibit
tionists of Tennessee" In other
words those of US who have follow.

it is probable that they will handle as
many as they did for Christmas last

to Columbia from all over the county

to date the farmers have found a
ready market for the turkeys in co.
