Complaints Of Hardships.

In general the complainants alleged
that border service was entailing loss
financially on militiamen and hardships
on their families.
The department appreciates, Mr..
Baker said in one letter, the fact that a
call for military>serviceu upon militia Or
ganizations must Inevitably present
cases Of hardship" He added
The emergency. however. which re-
quired this call for the militia. was one
of grave character. affecting the safe
ty and lives of citizens of the United
States. men, women and children. The
presence of the militia on the Mexican
border has restored order and given a
higher degree of safety and security to
the lives of our people in that troubled
country than they have had for long
time. The militia Is therefore perform
ing valuable service. and the fact that
this service is being performed without
active military operations, entailing
loss Of life to our soldiers. is cause of
congratulation and happiness"

GUARD ON BORDER
SERVING PURPOSE
Secretary Baker Answers
Suggestions That Militia
men Be Recalled.

Belief of the administration that the
National Guard on the border still is
servingsthe definite purpose of prevent
ing bandit raids is evident in answers
sent by Secretary Baker to persons who
had written suggesting that the troops
be recalled.
The Secretary referred to hardships
caused guardsmen and their families by
the enforced stay at the border as re-
grettable but necessary accompaniment
Of the service. He explained also that
the training would be invaluable in fit
ting the men to act as a second line in
war tim0
Secretary Bakers letters praised the
spirit and efficiency Of the men and
promised that they should be returned
"as soon as a restored state of order on
the border justifies it."

Referring to the elaborate and ex-
tensive training the militiamen are re-
ceiving under supervision of regular
army officers. the Secretary expressed
the opinion that 1t would At them to act

| The Training School has just fin
ished the third quarterly examina
tions. the results of which are very
gratifying. Thus far the character
Of work and Of the pupils is better
than the school has had for years
and the enrolment is larger.
The ~ siness Department. which
was addsi last September, has en-
rolled ~ soodly number and will
have ten graduates this spring.
These graduates will be as we'll
equipped for the business life as the
graduates from any business school
Id this section of the country.
There will be twelve graduates
from the Literary Department this
year, who can stand the test with
graduates of any high school. The
graduates from the Training School
have always made good in the va
rious colleges and universities.
Ralph Quinn, who attended for two
years the University of Virginia, led
in all his class work there. Because
of his making good the University
has offered free tuition and scholar
ship to the Training School another
year. Young Quinn is now receiving
a handsome salary for teaching in
Virginia. He will finish up his col
lege work at University of Virginia
next year.
Waller B. Caldwell and Glover
Terrell have made good at Wander
bilt this year. Caldwell has done
excellent work there for three years.
He has won for Vanderbilt two of
the greatest debates, and has recent
ly won the Stokes $50 prize in ora
tory. He received his early train
ing at the Training School and in
the literary societies. Terrell is
coming along in the same channel
and doubtless we will hear from
him next year.
The Training School will have
twenty-five graduates from the two
departments this year. 1t seems an
evidence OF school-spirit, also inter-
est, in the Training School. since an
average Of ten per cent Of the pupils
enrolled graduate each year. For
ZEN years or more, there have been
enrolled bit more than an hum
lred, while from nine to thirteen
nave graduated yearly.
Work done in private school is
hard to excel. as both pupils and
come into such close con-
act. and for this reason so much
is given and SPLEEN
lid results are seen. The Training
schools Is a splendid asset to the
own.

stirring our citizens up to the i'm

liminary survey OF the county will
begin about April 10. resulting from
a conference with DR.. L. L. Lums-
den. Of the U. S. Public Health
Service. OF course we cannot over
look the fact that the influence Of
DR.. D. J. Prather. now connected
with the Department Of Hygiene. In
the U. s. Public Health Service. was
largely instrumental in bringing us
this survey. but it was up to us to
show the proper appreciation of the
work by concerted effort to secure
1t. and this was most effectually car
Tied out by DR.. QualIs. It will be
rememberd that DIR. Prather was
former Union City citizen. reared in
the vicinity Of Woodland Mills. and
Is well known here. DIR. Pratheri
will probably be here with the de-
partment officials. a half dozen of
them, supplied with the proper
equipment for practical demonstra-
tions AID lectures with the aid OF
pictures. etc. This is matter Of
the greatest Importance, something
that we can hardly estimate with its
proper value, and we should give
these men hearty reception. Read

tributed by DR.. Qualls in regard to
this work.

The Dietzel Fire.

The residence of Herman Dietzel
Jr., on the northwestern border OF
the city. was destroyed by fire last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Dietzel
was up town and Mrs. Dietzel was
out in the back yard. The fire seem
ed to have originated in the hall and
Mrs. Dietzel discovered it when she
saw the smoke issuing thru a back
window. She thought probably the
negro boy, who was employed shere,
was in the house and started to
open the hall door at the back Of
the house, but about that time the
negro appeared in the yard and Mrs.
Dietzel left the door. Mr.. Dietzel
then arrived and. started in the same
door, but when he opened 1t the
surging smoke hurled dishpan out
over his head. The flames and
smoke had entirely filled the house,
and this was the condition Of affairs
when the fire company reached the
place. The house was just over
the corporation line, and the hose
had to be run from fireplug at the
Wehman residence, several blocks
away. Very few things were saved
from the building. The house
burned rapidly and was soon in,
ruins.
The residence was one OF the show
places about Union City, a very ex-
tensive and attractive building Of
some eight or ten rooms. halls, etc,
handsomely finished in hardwood.
and furnished turnout to match the
house.
The house was insured for $4,000
and the furniture and contents for
$1,000. Some diamonds valued at
$1,000 were in the fire, and found
discolored with the smoke.
Mr.. DietzeI says he will get ready
to build as soon as possible.

The Last Prop.

President Wilson has given his
approval for permanent non-par.
tisan tariff commission, and bill
recommending same has been intro
duced by Representative Rainey. Of
Illinois.
SO goes the last prop OF the Demo-
cratic party. unless u Is the old doc
trine OF States rights.
Years ago the party held to free
trade, then 10 ariff-for-revenue on
~. then for free silver. There has
been very little said about free trade
since the war. Then they put the
ban on free silver, and now goes the
pet theory Of ariff-for-revenue only
IL Congress passes the Rainey bill.
There is only one thing left--State
sovereigntya that has been q
negligible issue for many years.
A Democrats Congress was usher
ed In with the Underwood tariff, a
revenue-only measure. and it is the
present law, to have only brief
span when the tariff commission is
elected.
III the party is to live new tissues
must be provided, otherwise there
will be more detection to the ranks
OF Socialism and other creeds Some
years ago President Wilson gave
promise Of embracing the doctrine Of
the initiative. referendum and re-
call. This Is going step farther
than States rights to Individual
rights 1t is really the true Democ-
racy, but Democratic platforms have
never yet adopted 1t. They have
adopted the direct party primary
and the publication of campaign
funds. but there Is really no differ
ence in this, because II has been
contained in Republican platforms.
What we have to say is that with
the adoption Of the tariff commission
there is no real. tangible line Of
demarcation between the Republican
and Democratic parties except the
Office holding.
Under the Cleveland Administers
fion there were two very live issues,
the Wilson tariff bill and the reform
OF Congressional extravagance.
President Cleveland attacked thel
corrupt pension practices and other
leaks in the treasury. President |
Wilson seems to have made no effort
In this way at all. And all Of these
things have been relinquished, to-
gether with the old creeds, and
Democrats have practically admitted /
the policies of the Republican party |
1t Is high time that the Demo- /
cratic party Ia embracing the gem
uine, true Democracy; time to show
the world that II II not sailing UNI
der false coIors. Let the old apology /
OF States rights be sspceeded with
andivldual rights and sovereignty,
and then the party can so before the
world with d clean biilof rights.
