BONA

Good morning, Herald Readers. II
haa been quite awhile since l visited
you through the columns of the pa
per, and this may be an intrusion
on some OF you, but will risk il
anyway. l have nothing new, OF
unusual to write. There is some
sickness in the community. Mrs. J.
M. Stewart has been in bad health
for several months, but not confined
to her bed now. Linnie Kinnaird is
sick with fever. B. B. Nichols is said
to be in critical condition with pa.
ralysis. J. w. Sutton is said to be
better.
The protracted meeting at Bona
mas closed after a series of twenty
sermons preached by Rev. ]. Calvin
Stewart, which were pronounced to
be the most logical and scriptural
that have been preached at Bona for
years, but the people in general
seem to be capable of resisting the
most logical, earnest appeals that
can be produced by any man. There
was one happy convert, and Christ
ians revived, and as a token of the
appreciation of the people they made
up and bought nice suit of clothes
for the preacher.
A brush arbor meeting has just be-
gun near the Roberts Switch, by
Elders Youngblood and Sutton.
Rev. Calvin Stewart is of for sew
eral weeks in a protracted meeting
in Smith county.
Mrs. F. M. Sloan, and little daugh-
ter of Pilot Grove, Texas; also her
sister, Mrs. Celia COnley, and two
of Donaldson, Tenn, have
just returned from two weeks Wis
1t with their uncle ]. M. Stewart.
These two sisters had not seen each
other in "a years till theymet here
at the home Of their uncle, Jacob
Stewart, where they spent most of
the two weeks, and all sure did have
q nice time.
School here is progressing nicely.
The church has recently called J. C.
Stewart as pastor, and he will like
" accept, to begin work in October
w. A. Brown, Sunday school Supt.,
s on the sick list, but we hope not
serious.
Crops about Bona are reasonably
good Fruit drying has been the go
ut our house for a few days, and
his hot Sunshine is fine fer the
business.
Sister R. J. c. of Gamaliel, KY,
We certainly did enjoy reading your
etter. You did fine for the first
line, so come again. l think this
etter writing is good for children as
we'll as old folks.
Some whooping cough In the neigh
,orhood. And now fearing that my
Tisit may seem too long, close,
With best wishes to you all.

RUSSIA'S OWN
FRIGHTFULNESS

1t is observed that whatever truth
there may be in the stories of the
knouting and other cruelties practic
ed on military prisoners by the Rus
slams, the stories themselves come as
a timely reminder. Germany's cam
paigns of frightfulness have so shock
ed the neutral world that we are all
too apt to think of all the allied pow
ers as being without fault, as being
humane and kindly nations, pressed
by a foe of another species.
Therefore, these tales of recent
Russian barbarities, whether true or
not, serve to refresh the worlds
memory that of all the governments
involved in the war, that of Rus
STA is the most savage, relentless and
cruel. Its treatment Of the Jews for
centuries would be enought to con.
'ict it of infamy, but the atrocities
perpetrated by official order and o::rcr
offenders and suspects, regardless Of
faith, race or sex, deepen and black
en- it's shame. It may be that these
accounts CT brutality to prisoners are
exaggerated, if not false, but it is a
striking commentary that only of
Russia and Russian authority would
they be believed at all.

PAVING THE
WAY FOR PEACE.

Il - { = =.
The following statement made pub
E,ie by the German Embassu yesser-
day is Of great Significance.
.1n consequence of cases which have
occurred of late, German Ambassador
BernstorfF sent instructions to all
German consulst in the United States
strons!y to impress on German citi-
zens living in. their districts that it
lis their duty scrupulously to obey the
laws of the States in which they re-
side.r
Day bv ...sy the news is co1r,iag t
the State Department from Berlin
and Austria that Germany now wants
peace. The Kaiser emphasized the
desire for an end Of the war in his
recent talk with American Ambas-
sador Gerard and Chancellor Won
Rcthmann- Hollweg prior to this IN
formed Mr.. Gerard that the imperi-
al government thought the time was
approaching when President Wilsan
might in.t::..c a move for peace.
Count Won Bernstorff here, acting I'M
der instructions from his government
has emphasized the willingness of
Germany to make peace and thereby
put an end to "the prolonged and use
less struggle"
1t is suggested that the Kaiser is
paving the way for peace, and the
statement sent out from the Grman
Embassy suggests that he deems it
important 10 be on goo dterns with
America wt,>n the inevitable 40 r al!
rives for considering terms by which
the present great war may be brought
to a close.
There is disposition in some
quarters to regard these movements
as an indication that Germany is
weakening and, relizing the inevi-
table, is anxious to end hostilities at
time when terms would be more
favorable to her than in The fut'i-c.

UNIONIZING
ALL LABOR.

Economists used to assert that
there was limit to the unionizing OF
worlingmen; that there were fund
amental difficulties in the way of or
ganizing larger proportion than 50
per cent. of the total number, say,
into labor unions. But they evidently
took no thought of modern develop
ments4 The school teachers of Balti-
more are seriously considering the
question of joining the Federation OF
Labor. A good many Of them are in
favor of SO doing. And now comes
Few that the Authors League of Am
erica an organization of which WINS
ton Churchill is president and Fheo-
dore Roosevelt vice-president, is also
seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of joining the ranks of union labor.
This may be simply subtle scheme
on the part of the Colonel to capture
the labor vote, but such it does not
appear to be on the surface. 1t real
" seems to be genuine attempt to
protect the downtrodden pen-pusncrs
against the rapacity of publishers and
moving picture producers.
A contemporary suggests that she
menace of this movement lies not
only in the fact that 80 per cent. OF
the population over ten years of age
male and female, would be eligible
to membership in this particular union
but also in the fact that the extcn-
sion of the labor movement to include
professional men and women carries
with it the seeds of destruction for the
whole body of organized labor. IL
school teachers and writer's Of fiction
can organize for more pay and shorter
hours, there is no reason why law
ycrs and doctors and clergymen and
editors and every other class of man
kind should not be permitted to do
SO. Carried to it's logical conclusion.
this means that every man, woman
and child in the country will, soon or
late, become Il union laborer. And
when that happens VIC Shsll be just
where we started before labor was
organized at all. For tho essence of
labor organization is the bcttermcnt
Of ore class at the expense of another
