The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-11-26

THOSE election Judges at Copperhill were ap-
pointed to perform certain duty and right
well was it done.
ANOTHER damage suit for $4,000 was filed
"A in Benton, last week, and they say that
others are in contemplation.
BOUT the only preparedness that the Presi-
"A dent can look forward to is that of getting
out of the White House in 1917.
TT IS noticeable that several who cast their bal
lots for LEA in the primary will not be able
to vote at all in the general election
TT WOULD seem that Mr. Moons opinion of
L Mr.. McKELLAR's ability was not shared by
enough people to prevent him from being high

exception.

IL for preparedness if he finds it is not

policies he has pursued.
THE sold guard" of Polk County, led by the
Ramrod, is only slightly disfgured and it
is going to be interesting to watch how it lines
up under the new dispensation.
THE Copper City Retreat" did valiant service
for LUKE in its last issue, but it couldn't
find space to print the vindication of the men
against whom it made libelous charges.
WAS that hurry-up article in the Chattanooga
w Times regarding the vindication of those
former pike road commissioners written with
the hope that it might forestall damage suit?
HAVING shown its true colors in the recent
LII primary, Polk Countys "soremost" lnde-
pendent newspaper will now resume the gentle
art of trying to carry water on both shoulders
THE words "embezzlers," " "forgers, ETC., have
L been cut out of the vocabulary of the
correspondent of several erstwhile reputable
newspapers, if you will notice carefully. There's
a reason
WITH no patronage at the command of the
w President and certain defeat staring him
in the face, it is not at all probable that ne will
WELD the influence in the next Congress that he
has in the past
THE failure of LUKE was disappointment TO
this paper. 1t urged his nomination, be-
liev1ng him to be the weakest man in the bunch
and that his selection would mean the election
of Republican.

feller in the next primary.
TN THE disposition of the crow, the Copper

bird in which the tail feathers grow.
THE Chattanooga Times says that Democracy

WHEN man gets on the witness stand and

THE Copper City Retreats" prediction that

after the primary, seems to have slipped cog
WHEN man lies, and everybody knows that
w he lied, it hardly seemed necessary tor
him to name affidavit to that fact Yet 1t was
done.
THAT Polk County has several parties who are
we'll qualified for membership in the ANA
MAS club is amply borne out by events OF the
past few weeks.
THE story of what one editor personally knows
about Mr.. MCKELLAR's S love of drink will
probably not be told, now as the latter was not
defeated in the primary.
WHEN the woman who is to be the first lady
w of the land" can not find an American
trosseau that is good enough, the limit OF snob-
bishness has been reached.
HAS the Democracy OF Shelby County no
shame? Its members steal from one an
other with the same earnestness and abandon
that they use toward Republicans.
TN THE Friday and Saturday issues of most OF
the city dailes the notice Of "look out for
frauds" occupied prominent places in their col
umns. This is never necessary in Republican
papers.
TT is estimated that at least 35, 900 Democrats

THE fact that Polk County was the only one IN
L East Tennessee to give big majority for
LEA was probably due TO the influence OF this
paper and LuKE's liberality in supplying plenty
of the vmilk of the wild horse.

The leaflet will soon be printed in

through local post Offices. The foreign
born citizen has taken very kindly to
postal savings. and literature in his
own language will be of great assis-

master General Burleson commented
on the foreign-born citizen as follows:

in deaths and injuries resulting from
trcspassing upon their right-of-way.
During 1913, there were 81 deaths
and ~ injuries; while in 1914 these
figures have been raised TO Is killed
and 80 injured.
A small proportion OF these acci
dents occurred to the class known as

that the short Cut along railroad
tracks" is dangerous in the extreme,
not only 10 school children but to
working men who walk to work
Any amount of caution eXerted by
railroad employees will not materially
decrease the number of accidents oc-
curing to trespassers. and it would
seem that the only procedure that
"ill shorten the list Of fatalities is
Cor the state legislatures to pass laws
that will absolutely prohibit persons
other than railroad employees from us

The readers Of this paper would be
astounded upon hearing of a single
accident resulting in the death OF IS
persons and the injury of double that
number. and the accident would i'm
mediately be investigated and. il pos
s.ble, the cause removed.
While these accidents to trespass-
cTs are scattered through n number
Of states and occur at separated
periods, the total result is just as ap-
palling The responsibility rests upon
tho general public and the State Leg
islatures and no effort should be
spared in taking the necessary pro-

Oh, it's great to be a jiner in the good

There's always lots of speeches an

When the pie is made of punkin an

An brings 'em in for miles around the

But the roads is good for travel an a

An the goat is full of ginger when the

It's thataway, I reckon, in most every

As 1t Should Be.

In the school house in Belleville,
Wis, a few evenings ago, upon motion
Of the Catholic priest the Methodist
minister was elected president of the
comnunity's social center for the COM
ing winter
Then three basket ball teams were
formed including the priest, the min
lister, the blacksmith, the editor, far
mcr, the keeper of the village restau.-
ant, 4 dentist. clothier, teamster,
Q druggist, a garage owner, the bank
er, the saloonkeeper, a hardware mer-
chant and a house painter.
They differed in religion. in politics,
in income, in social status about as
widely as men can differ But in the
common school building, in the free
democracy of the social center, they
agreed to lay aside their differences
for the novel purpose of discovering
how much good fellowship there was
in meeting together, now and then, as
equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion of
public questions, they are finding out,
/ these differing men Of Bellvi!le, that,
as human beings, they're amazingly
, alike, once you get below the suro
face.
And out of this agreeable discovery
will come, for Bellville, more toler-
ance, more kindliness of feeling more
give and take than it had ever known
before. Even when they shall differ
| again-as, of course, they often will
, it won't be with as much bitterness, as
much bigotry, as much mean hate as of
yore
