SORRY THAT GRAB.
WAS NOT BEATEN
LOCAL EDUCATORS DlSAPPoINT.
ED THAT cookEvILLE BILL
WAS NOT REPEALED.


Much DISAPPOINTMENT is felt in
Maury county educational circles
over the failure of the repeal of the
Cookeville polytechnic school bill in
the lower house of the. legislature on
Wednesday. There is some gratifica.
ton, however, over the fact that both
Messrs. Denton and Long made a
hard and persistent fight to have the
measure repealed and to save the
high school funds of the state from
being squandered.
The failure to repeal the bill means
that Maury county will be cut out Of
about $3.50 per year for its high
schools. This is a considerable sum
and the deficit will have to be met
by the city and county. Hbth Profs.
Graham and Harris are much disap.
pointed that the measure was not re.
pealed, as it makes heavier burden
on them to maintain the schools of
the city and county at their present
high standard upon less money.

NATION FACES
AWFUL CRISIS
AMERICA MUST TAKE A FIRM
STAND, SAYS JACOB M.
DICKINSON.

CHICAGO, May 12.-Jacob M. Dick
inson, secretary of war under Presi-
dent Taft, issued the following state
ment here today:
Il regard the possibilities of the de.
struction of American lives on the
Lusitania as even more momentous
to the nation than those involved in
our civil war No question of main
tanning republican institutions was
then involved, because, except as to
the principle of secession, the consti-
tutions of the two government were
practically the same. have no doubt
that if the South had succeeded dis
Indignation would have set in, and
that long before this all the states
would have been reunited under one
government.
"The outcome of the present con-
dition may involve us in career in
comparison with which, looking to the
life of our nation, the possibilities of
the civil war, in any event, were not
comparable.
1T is not likely that Germany will
disavow the purpose to destroy the
Lusitania with full knowledge of the
fact that this involved many Amer
lean lives. In view of the result and
the warning given by our government
to Germany, some proper action must
be taken, or the American govern
ment will incur the contempt Of the
world and the contempt of a vast
number of It's own people"

LONDON, May S.-All the retail

The drink problem has become so
important that it is dividing public
interest with the military operations
on the continent and is threatening
a serious split in the liberal party
There is a tone of fierce resentment
in the public comments made by the
labor leaders, which does not prom

Satisfied With Lot

The women of this part as a whole
are well satisfied with their lot. Our SO
cial center is the church and we try to
apply the golden rule in our daily affairs
of life. The most of us have bunch
of robust, happy children which keep
the rough corners smoothed down.
We keep abreast with the times. Ev-
e rybody with the shoulder to the wheel
a great supply of literature on hand;
piano and music in the house. We are
satisfied"
Educate the farm women to the CO.
operative spirit as you have been edu-
eating the men for years. Encourage
the farm women to form clubs -
"Our club has recently launched the
project of cooperative laundry. In
canvassing the territory for stock
holders it was the women who were
discouraging taking personal view
instead of community view"
''The different town boards invest a
lot of money in machinery and on the
roads. If they would invest in a vac

be another saving of work.
