The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-06-04

TT BEGINS to look like WOODRow's note will
have about the same effect as his invasion OF
Mexico.
WERE the American lives lost on the Lusi-
w tania any more valuable than those lost
in Mexico-and why?
AS A rubber stamp Secretary of State, Mr..
"a BRYAN does about as well as could reason
ably be expected of Democrat.
IF AN extra session of Congress is called and
the tariff changed to prevent bankruptcy,
what will the next Democratic platform say
about the "robber" tariff?
WHAT has become of that seemingly un-
w quenchable desire on the part OF the
Chattanooga Times to see the Hon. Mr. MOON
in the gubernatorial chair?
TT THIS Government can pass law requiring
that American sailors shall be treated like
white men, it surely can afford to pay subsidy
to ships that will carry out such policy.
CPEAKINC of eugenics and the resulting ne
y cessity of pedigree, the Clobe-Democrat
hopes that the phraseology will not be patterned
after that used for other blooded animals.
WITH $l,OOO,OOO borrowed that doesn't have
w to be paid for long time, Tennessee can
have as many Legislatures as LUKE LEA may see
fit to dictate. Whoop-ee! Who cares for ex-
penses?
WITH big deficit confronting him and no
w satisfactory means of relief in sight, the
President talks as glibly of building merchant
marine as if he expected to furnish the money
out of his own pocket.
TN SPITE of their brave utterances, Democratic
l leaders in Congress know that they made
gross calculations as to revenues, and they add
ed to their predicament by making approprla-
tions beyond all precedent
A LONG with other blunders made by Demo

refunding of $l5,000,O00 customs duties col

a law that will stand a test?
who are critising Col RoosE-
WELT for the stand he has taken on the at
fair with Germany, are asked to speculate on the
probable course ANDREW JACKSON would have
taken had he been President.
GAYS the Chattanooga Times: 1t is doubtful
- that the people in general are particularly
interested in the whereabouts of the disappearing
big gun that was recently active at Syracuse.
The real interest will be Democratic when ne
fa;ls m he of assistance as in 1912
The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1915-06-04

WE ARE still of the opinion that Hon. MYRoN
w L. HERRICK will be the next standard
bearer of the Republican party.
WITH Polk County's "soremost" Democratic
w papers in favor of an extra session OF the
Legislature, that ought to settle it.
THE continued laying off of men at Etowah
by the L. & N. Railroad has not enhanced
the chances for Democratic success next year.
TPON the ground that he has two Nebraskans
y on his hands, the Wall Street Journal in
sinuates that the President is entitled to sympa-
thy.
railroad men of this country, in whatever
capacity, to vote the Republican ticket, next
year.
THAT'S a LEA-RYE combination that now has
charge of State affairs in Tennessee. But
its foundation is builded on sand, and great will
be the fall.
THE man afflicted with tapeworm during
Democratic administration always finds it
hard matter to get the wherewith to so satisfy
its appetite.
TT SEEMS that the lives of Mexicans in the
United States are more precious in the sight
of Secretary BYRAN than are those of American
citizens in Mexico.
THERE are indications that go to prove that
the Hon. Mr. Moon will not become hump
backed trying to carry the majority ne expects
to receive in the next election.
A GREAT many State papers are of the oPin-
"a ion that called session of the Legislature
at a cost of $4,000 is luxury that Tennessee
can afford to do without at this time.
T UKE LEA more nearly represents the stripe
II of Democrats now in power in Tennessee
than any other man so far mentioned and should
have no opposition for the nomination.
WHENEVER the business men of the coun-
w try decide to take a hand in campaign,
you can bank upon Republican Aictory. The
campaign of 1896 is good illustration.
is THERE not Regular Democra in lennes-
see who can qualify as Insurance Commits
sioner? 1t might not be out of place to ask if
the man slated for the position can read and
write.
TT THE dispatches are to be believed, it has
1 taken the President long time to find out
real conditions in Mexico. There is no excuse
for his not acting now and bring peace out OF
chaos in that unhappy country.

BLOCKING THE LEAcHEs.

When conditions exist which ought never to be tolerated the sensible thing to do is either to abolish them or to drive them to the wall by removing the cause for their existence This is apparently what Fire Commissioner Adamson of New York has set out to do by the establishment of the New York ffremen's emergency fund which was suggested by the conditions which arc made to prevail through the exist ence of usurious money lenders who keep the nose of their patrons to the grindstoEe every moment they are within their reach.
 Through this fund made possible by a. few patriotic citizens it is intended to provide a substitute for the money lenders in that such sums as the fire men of that city may need within moderation will be loaned to them at four per cent. and in that manner a large number of the city employees will be freed from the grasp of the loan sharks who find the municipal em- p1oyes especially susceptible to their operations. with the result, as the

INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY.

Much emphasis is being laid on the fact, by supporters of the administra- tion and the democratic policy in gen. eral, that textile corporations are do- ing a decidedly increased volume of business at the present time, and among other things it is pointed out that one large manufacturing com pany has recently announced a diVi- dend of B Is per cent, that other cotton mills are running practically at their capacity, with some working certain departments all night in the balancing up" process. Attention is also being directed to the announce ment by a Boston paper following a survey of the field that in one week two companies declared initial divi- dends, two resumed dividends and three increased their respective rates, while nine declared extra dividends and two provided for dividends which have been previously passed.
 Such, of course, shows a very sat isfactory state of affairs. It indicates that business is going ahead and that the conditions are getting around tC what might be expected in times of prosperity.
