Important Decision
Regarding Divorce.

Knoxville, Tenn, May 13.-The
court Of civil appeals held its first
opinion session Of the term today.
One Of the cases decided by Special
Judge Green related to wife deser-
ton. In this case Judge Green held
that desertion for as much as five
years, in which period the wife had
not heard from her husband, or did
not know whether he was dead or
alive, justified her entering into a
second marriage contract Another
holding was that while acts Of i'm
morality on the part Of the wife
during her husbands life would for
felt her right Of homestead, such
acts committed after his death
worked no such forfeit.
In a case from the soldiers home
in johnson City it was held that an
inmate Of the home is not a citizen
or resident Of the state, and cannot
maintain an action under the pau
per's OATH Tennessean and Ameri-
can.

Willis Andrews on
Sins OF The World.

To the Editor Of the Banner.
In condemning the sins Of the
world some Of the evangelists now
holding forth in Nashville seem to
think that more danger turks in the
pleasures Of the poor than in the
sins Of the rich. In their character
ization Of wickedness mention is
made only Of such things an dane
ing, card playing and moving pic
lures, but nothing is said Of the in
stitutional sins by means of which
the rich wax fat off the sweat and
blood Of the poor. This would seem
to prove the aptness Of the old ad-
age about sTaining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel.
The curse Of the one sin Of usury
has wrecked more homes and caus-
ed more despair in the world than
the whole category Of sins laid at
the door Of the poor. But one nev-
er hears any condemnation Of usury
from the pulpit, although it is relat-
ed in Holy Writ how Christ drove
the money lenders from the temple,
and while remarking something
about whited sepulehers and hypo-
critics.
Especially does one pulpiteer in
weigh against the sin" Of dancing.
In the terpsichorean art, as well as
in card playing and the cinema,
there is mixed good and evil, as
there is in everything else, but dane
ing is as old as history; the Persians
the Egyptians, the Jews danced
Omphyon, Orpheus, King David
danced; the Greeks performed dane
| es in the interludes Of their TRACE
dies; Cleopatra herself figured in the
chorographic tableaux, and Socrates
taught Aspasia to trip the light fan.
tastic toe.
1t is well that lessons in morality
be taught mankind, but in the an
plication Of moral principles a ra.
tional spirit should prevail that will
include injustice and social wrong
in the category Of the sins Of the
world.

New York Parades
For Preparedness.

The great American city Of New
York on last Saturday put on a pa
rade for preparedness, which dem
onstrated the fact that the country
is behind Woodrow Wilson in the
policy which he has recommended
to the Congress Of the United States.
In the parade which marched
through the city, one hundred and
fifty thousand people were in line
which was twentynmiles long and
was witnessed by a million onlook-
ers. Thomas A. Edison, the wizard
OF American invention, marched by
the side of an humbled worker and
tolcap the maenifcient demonstra-
tion twenty thousand women (more
than equal in number to the popu-
ton OF the city Of Jackson, Tennes-
see,) were in the line, and business
was suspended in honor of the great
est demonstration the country ever
witnessed. Coincident with the
stupendous parade. mighty event
transpired at Washington, where
the House and Senate conferees on
the army bill agreed to a standing
army Of 100000 fighting men, ca
pable Of being expanded in emer-
gency to 254 900 and backed by a
federalized national guard Of 1885,
600, which will give a grand total
peace strength Of $4,000 men.
J. The measure was expected to be
SO rushed as to be reported early
this week and to very soon after
ward 60 to President Wilson for his
approval. If the program as map
ped out is carried through, the min
imum enlisted strength will be at
tanned in five years and at no time
will the total be less than 100000.
In this, as in other measures, the
victory was Wilson's for the repre-
sentatives Of the people, as well as
the people themselves, are coming
more and more to trust to the cool
judgement Of Woodrow Wilson as
one to be trusted.

Mothers Day, Last
Sunday, Generally
Observed Holiday
NUMBER ~

Last Sunday. the second Of the
month, was generally observed in
1.-THE churches as Mothers Day"
Relative to the fact that the second
Sunday In the month Of May came
to be recognized by the national
government as one on which all
shall pay tribute to mothers, living
and dead, the Memphis Commercial
Appeal gave the following bit Of
history:
The American idea Of Mothers
Day came from Miss Anna Jarvis
Of Philadelphia, who is 1908 induc-
ed the mayor Of that city to issue a
proclamation asking that the second
Sunday in May be observed as
Mothers Day. So popular became
the idea, that the Mothers Day In
ternational Association was formed,
but it was moi. until 1914 that Con-
eress proclaimed the day BY resc-
luton.
Governors Of states and mayors Of
cities indorsed the action Of Con-
gress by proclamations, and the day
is now generally observed by the
American public as one on which
homage is to be paid the mothers
living and honor accorded to the
memories Of the mothers dead"
1t may be added that the whole
month Of May has by some been
long observed as Mother month"
from the fact that the month was
originally given its name in honor
Of the immaculate Mary, the Moth
er Of Christ which in some way
reminds the writer Of an almost
forgotten song, The Gates Ajar,"
one verse Of which we recall:
Then up rose Mary the blessed,
sweet Mary, the mother Of Christ:
Her hand on the head Of the an
Gel she placed and her touch suffic-
ed.
Then turned was the key in the
portal, fell ringing the golden bar
And 10, in the little child's fingers
were the keys Of the gates ajar."

What Bryan Says
About Reelection
Of Pres. Wilson's

In regard to President Wilson's
chance for reelection, William j.
Bryan in a recent signed article
said.
To the normal republican advan-
tage must be added the disaffection
among German and Irish demo-
Gratis. Without attempting to de-
eide whether the President was wise
or lunwise in taking the course that
alienated them, the party is confront
ed with the fact that this alienation
will cost it a large number Of votes
enough to defeat the party in
several close states.
From what source can we draw
the number of recruits necessary to
give the party a fighting chanceY
From one source and from one
source only, namely. the peace ele-
ement Of the republican party; we
cannot draw votes from the war
element.
There is a peace element in the
republican party as shown by the
votes cast for Henry Ford in Michi-
gan, Nebraska and other states.
This is the only element to which
the democratic party can appeal
and to appeal to this element it will
be necessary to do more than has
yet been done. If any considerable
number os republicans felt friendly
to the President they would have
shown it by writing in his name as
their choice when they expressed
themselves at the primary.
IF this element is to be concili-
ated, it must be done by a move to-
ward peace. The opportunity is
here. The German government in
accepting this governments position
in the submarine controversy gives
as one Of its reasons for doing so its
unwillingness to be responsible for
extending or spreading the war. 1t
refers to the fact that it has twice
expressed a desire to consider terms
Of peace. The way is open. viii
the President take advantage of the
opportunity? Failure to secure peace
would bring no humiliation, while
success would be Of tremendous ad-
vantage the republican party now
has and make the race on the re-
cord Of e peacemaker. Will he give
voice to worlds conscience-to hu-
manity's hope

Prof. Hughes Dies
at Spring Hill.

Prof. William Hughes, one Of the
principals Of the well-known Bran
ham & Hughes School, Sprinehill,
Maury county, died last Sunday in
a Nashville infirmary, from compli-
cations following an operation.
Prof. Hughes has been in somewhat
poor health for some time, but up
to the time Of his departure for
Nashville to undergo the operation
was able to be up and attend to his
arduous duties.
For twenty years he had been en-
Gagged in teaching, was himself q
pupil Of Prof. W. R. Webb, Of Bell
buckle, and his known worth Of
character coupled with a most en-
eaging personality made for him
hundreds, yea thousands Of friends
who esteemed, admired and loved
him. He was born at Union City
in 1885 and the days Of his boy
mood and young manhood were not
without struggles. After finishing
at Webb's school, he went to Van
derbilt and there both won his mas
ter's degree and met his partner.
Prof. W. C. Branham, who was then
an instructor in Vanderbilt, The
Sprinehill school was founded in
1905 and stands today recognized
as one Of the best Prep" schools in
Tennessee. Prof. Hughes was q
staunch member Of the Southern
Metodiss church and none doubted
that ne was a conscientious Chris
tian gentleman. He IS survived BY
his wife, six children and one broth
er, J. l. Hughes, who lives in Jack
son, Tenn.

German Chancellor
Urges Peace With
U. S. Government

The German Chancencellor, DR..
Won Bethmann Hollwee is credited
with speech before the the gener-
al Committee Of the German Reic h.
Stag, Of which the following sum-
mary was given by papers carrying
the Associated Press service and is
regarded as authentic:
I have said before that we must
drop all sentimentality. / repeat
that. With regard to our dispute
with America, our self-respect was
wounded with the aggressive word
ing Of the American note to Ger
many Our feelings urge us to re-
pei this Interference with our le-
gitimate methods Of warfare and
tell America to mind her own busi-
ness, but considerations Of policy
compel us to subordinate patriotic
zeal to patriotic reason. We must
be guided. however. not by our
feelings, but by the coolest jude-
ment
We have but one aim and one
duty. namely; to win the war, there
fore any policy which endangers
our victory must be avoided. The
overwhelming majority Of expert
opinion regards rupture Of rela-
tions with America as a grave
peril.
"A grave mistake has been COM
mitted in overestimating the value
Of the submarine campaign against
England. Our naval experts no
longer believe in the probability Of
reducing England to starvation and
ruin by submarines even if the war
lasts another two years. 1t is true
that these instruments can inflict a
'friehtful amount of damage, but
this damage would be insufficient
to outweigh the damage to our
selves Of Americas hostility.
1T is folly to underestimate the
consequences. Of conflict with
America, nor should we risk only
Americas enemity. Our informa-
ton leads us to believe that other
neutrals might follow Americas
lead.
The imperial government has
weighed every factor and is con-
vinced Of the necessity Of avoiding
a breach with America.
These are the hard facts Of the
present situation. We have word
ed a reply such as may reserve fu-
ture liberty of action. If the situa-
ton changes we may cancel our
concessions to America and resume
unrestricted submarine operations,
but for the present we must over
come our feeling and pursue the
policy most conducive to final vic
tory over all our enemies"

MAN KILLED BY TRAIN.

The New York sleeper, which passes
through Vergennes about ll;2O p. M,
struck and instantly killed Charles Cram
Saturday night. The body which
was horribly mangled, was not
found until about 2 O'Clock Sunday
morning. Mr. Cram, who was q
years of age, was very deaf and the
accident occurred on a curve
Mr.. Cram was walking on the track
near Tupper's crossing towards Ferris
burg where he had employment on the
farm of William Larrow. A strong south
wind was blowing at the time, which
would have tended to deaden the sound
of the whistle and prevent the mans
hearing even if he had not been deaf.
The body was stumbled onto by Heman
Buckham and Wallace Duggan, who
were walking the track. They notified
the telegraph operator at the station,
who called DR.. F. c. Phelps of YER
gennes, physician for the railroad. DR..
Phelps found the body in badly mutt
lated condition, Death must have been
instantaneous. Permission was OBJ
tanned from the selectmen and the body
was taken to W. E. Larrow's under
taking rooms in Ferrisburg, where an
examination of the clothes revealed a
paper in one pocket with the name of
John P. Preston of Ferrisburg. Mr..
Preston was communicated with and
identified the body as that of Cram.
Later his brothhr, Ira Cram, identified
the body and accompanied the remains
to Lincoln. Cram was not married.
and both parents are deceased.

that the new emergency ration which Is

by two Vermonters-C, +. LangworthY,

Middlebury College who also holds the
degree of Phi. d. for a German univer-
sity, is a native of Middlebury. Mr.
Holmes, a graduate of Dartmouth col
lege and Phi, d, Of John Hopkins Uni
versity, is the son of j, P, Holmes, Of
Westminster. This ration, which is de-
signed for emergency purposes only, is
composed essentially of lean beef, flour
and skim-milk powder, When this
material has been thoroughly baked and
kiln-dried, to remove as much water as
possible, it forms highly concentrated
food. Tests of the digestiblity Of the
ration have been made and it was found
to be very completely assimilated by
the human body.

economics includes scientific and
practical studies of the nature and uses
of agricultural products in the home for
food, clothing and equipment; and also
studies of the household labor which
these matters involve, The work is a

SUSPECTED OF THEFT.

A man by the name of Haggerty,
who claims South Boston as his home,
and who has been in the employ Of
Sherwin French on his farm south Of
Brandon for a few weeks, was ar
rested by Officer Ssco Monday morn
Ing on suspicion of having stolen a
diamand ring and Sc in money from
Mr., French's house. The man had given
up his position Saturday evening, but
was about the farm all day Sunday, the
family being away until evening. When
they returned, the ring, which was Mr..
French's sisters and the money, which
had been placed in a chafng dish, were
missing. The farm hand denied the
theft, and as nothing could be found
about him to show that he had taken
the articles, he was released from
custody.
