SUFFRAGIST HOPE TO
WIN BY THREATS

Washington, July 5.-Mrs. Frank
L. Moran, a suffragist, visited Presi-
dent Wilson Unexpectedly yesterday
and warned him that if he did not
urge passage by congress of an equal
suffrage amendment every effort
would be made to induce the 100000
women voters in the United States to
oppose him in the coming campaign.
Mrs. Moran entered the white house
with a delegation of the Women's
National Democratic league, calling
to pledge the president the support
of their organization. Mrs. Moran
interrupted to say she came as an
envoy of the suffragists, and delivered
her warning. At the presidents invi-
tation she remained to discuss the
subject further when the others left.

THE NATIONAL GUARD

The National Guard system is de-
rnonstrated TO be a success. Within
about 20 days from the call the Pres
ident has more hundred thousand
additional soldiers ready, if necessary,
to take up the border problem. I'm
der the old-fashioned system of call
ing and training volunteers months
would have elapsed before a single
regiment was in condition for effective
service.
II is well worth our while to pause
and consider how this can be. Take,
for example, the infantry company
which went from Johnson City. It
was organized over thirteen years
ago. Some of it's original members
are still in service.
When the boys marched away
thousands turned out to do them hon
or. Then nothing was too good fol
them. Yet these same boys have been
going to drill every night for years,
sometimes when the fingers that
grasped the gun ached with cold
sometimes when the drill hall was
like a furnace. They have left their
work to go to the rifle range and
shoot the prescribed courses, and to
attend the annual encampments. All
this has, so far, been practically with
out compensation and with little OIL
no encouragement from the citizens
at-large. Such patriotism deserves
more recognition than an occasional
Jest about the "tin soldiers" wher
they march along the street in the
evening.

OUR UNPREPAREDNESS

The Mexican situation has served
forcible to mark the woeful lack Of
military preparedness in the United
States.
A nation of 100,000,O0O people, and
the vast interests that the United
States must protect, should never be
without a standing army of at least
100000 men; but in the present emer-
gency it is able to put hardly so many
as $4,000 regular troops on the MeXi-
can border, little more, if any, than
Carranza has assembled in the North
ern Mexico to resist invasion.
1t is rather a pitiful situation for
a nation of such colossal proportions
in respect to population, territory and
wealth as the United States.
The country MS now playing for
time in which to raise an army Of
sufficient size to deal with Mexico
while it should have one already Or
ganized and equipped sufficient 10
meet such an emergency.
The situation shows what the ma
tons plight would have been if It
had become suddenly involved in war
with some first-class, unhampered
power with a big navy and millions
of trained soldiers.

OUR DUTY TO MEXICO
Nashville Banner)

On this page of today's Banner will
be found an article from the Atlanta
Georgian, under the heading, I'VE"
Make no War Upon Mexican People"
This article is entirely in accord
with the position assumed by the Ban
ner from the inception of the pres
emit troubles.
If war with Mexico comes it should
not be to oppose the ignorant masses
Of the Mexican people, but for their
anlightment and relief from the bur
den they have for centuries been com
PEELED to bear at the hands of rulers
who have kept them in ignorance and
lated upon their credulity.
There are an hundred-fod more
reasons why the United States should
go to the relief of the ignorant and
helpless Mexicans who have had in
stilled in them an unnatural hatred
Tor Americans by the leaders in Mex
leo than there is or was for taking
over the Philippine Islands and ed
ucate and qualify the Filipino for the
duties of citizenship.
The Philippine Islands are not less
han 5000 miles distant from the
United States, while a single step of
three feet will land an American on
Mexican soil
The control of the Philippine Is
ands by the United States subjects
his country to attack from Japan
and other nations that may become
Infriendly, which the United States
would find it difficult and expensive
to meet, while Mexico, right on our
border, could as part OF the UnitcC
States, be defended as redily as any
other portion of this country.
Again, in Mexico's present condi.
ion, with the ignorance that prevails
here will remain menace to the
peace of this country, while disturb
lnces in the Philippines, so far dis
ant (but for the control assumed
over them by the United States),
would have no effect whatever upon
he peace or welfare of this country.
All of these and many other equal
y cogent reasons might be given whv
It is not only to the interest of Z :
United States to control Mexico and
ightement and liberty under real
'epublican form of government, such
is our fathers established and those
who came after them have so ably
and faithfully maintained.

HEIGHTS CELE-

The residents of Holston Heights
turned out en- masse last evening to
enjoy a community Fourth of July
celebration. From the "spat" of the
smallest firecracker to the "whiz-z-z"
of the big syrockets the affair was
huge success, largely due to the UNI
firing energt of Mr.. Sam Flexor, who
originated the community celebration
idea, and thanks to Mr.. FleXOr's pre-
paredness policy" not an accident
marred the evening.
The ladies of the Heights made
many wonderful tasting cakes which
with the tall freezers of ice cream
disappeared as if by magic.
The houses on the Hill were all ar
tistically decorated with many-colored
lanterns, buntings and flags and made
a beautiful picture midst the display
of fireworks. The Riddles" of the
Hill were all out in force, dressed in
fancy caps and dresses of patriotic
colors and enjoyed the occasion to
the utmost.
After the last echo of the last

SHIPPING BILL TO BE
PRESSED TO A VOTE

Washington, July ga proposal
from Republican senators that if ac-
ton on the government shipping bill
were deferred until the next session
of cOgress they would join with the
majority in an agreement, setting 4
date for a vote, found little response
toight whe Senate democrats met in
caucus. Although no action was TAX
en- majority of the senators present
vigorously opposed the suggestion
and insisted that the bill must be
pressed to vote even if it should re-
suit in holding congress in session all
summer.
The republican proposal, it was de-
clared, was coupled with strong in
tima ion that any effort to press the
bill at this session would be met with
persistent opposition and also with
dilatory tactics on other measures.
That this attitude was resented was
made plain at the outset of the eau
Gus by Senators Simmons, Stone, Will
liams and other democratic leaders.
After much discussion, however, it
was decided to adjourn until Friday
night, so that the commerce commit
tee might hav can opportunity to go
over the bill as passed by the house.
Republican senators have called
conference for tomorrow the original
purpose having been to receive word
of action by the democrats tonight.
Senators Simmons and Stone voic-
ed the views of the administration in
the caucus emphasizing the urgent ne
cessity for action at this session on
shipping legislation. Senator Stone
cited the recent conference in Paris
betwee representatives of allied ma
lions for the purpose of drawing up
a trade agreement, which he declared
would result in united effort to re-
capture trade that had ben gaind by
the Tilted States during the war. To
meet TINS, he urged the necessity of a
revived American merchant marine.
Two or three democratic senator's.
among them Bankhead and Clarke. of
Arkansas, are opposed to the shipping
bill in its present form, particularly
the government ownership and opera
ton provision and it is probable that
some amendments may be agreed on
by the commerce committee whe it
meets tomorrow.
