Woodrow Wilson
Stock is Booming

Judge Cordell Hull, a Tennessee
Congressman, has returned recent
ly from a trip to New York, where
he saw splendid prospects for the
election of Woodrow Wilson. Judge
Hull says:
Especially do notice the chang
ed attitude Of the business men
throughout the country. He knows
which his bread is buttered on, and
likewise knows that the prosperity
Of the country means his individual
prosperity every time. He is CON-
ing to us in droves; he is now able
fully to realize that Mr.. Wilson's
economic policies have brought to
us prosperity which will be lasting,
and realizes that with the end of
the European war will come to us
a prosperity even greater than that
to which the sale of war munitions
have contributed. This is true,
however, only in the event of a
continued Democratic administra-
ton, under the steady hand, cool
head and splendid intelligence of
President Woodrow Wilson, who
has guided us safely and wisely
through more ordeals than any 9th
er President has ever had to con-
tend with.
1t is not our intention, in this
work to decry Republicanism fur
ther than is unavoidable by state
ment of the facts, and thus show
the difference between destructive
and constructive methods and pol.
itics. Even in all his speeches Mr..
Wilson has adhered to his construc-
tive criticisms, while it will be gen.
orally admitted, as it is even now
admitted in the New York press,
for the most part, that the Republi-
can nominee for the presidency has
used destructive criticism of the
Democratic Administration"

MEDICAL EXAMINATION
10 be Conducted by the
Local Parent Teachers
Association
ALL SCHOOL CHILDREN

The first meeting for the year of
the Parent Teachers Association
was held lost Thursday in Prof.
Holmes room, which had lately
been beautified by the addition of
sash curtains and several pictures.
l Mrs. E W. Essary, the president,
called first for the election of Off
GERS, which resulted in her being
the sole nominee to succeed herself
Mrs. j. A. Henry was chosen Vice
President; Mrs. w. P. Holland, Sec
retary; and Mrs. Jno. F. Hall, Treas
urer.
The Association appropriated
money to buy the paint needed on
the temporary partition, and Mr..
Holmes volunteered to do the work.
Money was also given to buy win
dow shades for the primary rooms,
and a committee was appointed to
investigate prices Of small chairs for
Mrs. Denver's room, which are badly
needed, and which the association
will likely buy.
BY an unanimous vote the asso-
citation agreed to affiliate with the
state and national organization.
MI. Brown reported for the health
committee that arrangements could
be made through the courtesy of the
local physicians to have school
children examined free Of charge.
A motion was Immediately made
and passed for the inspection. This
is likely to prove Of far reaching
benefit. 1t is done in all progressive
places. Often a child is backward
in his school work from slight physi-
cal defect. Often he has some dis
ease which may be arrested in its
earlier stages, and save him years OF
suffering or even death. This is the
age Of preventative medicine, and
examination Of the school children
is one step in the fight which is
being waged all over the world to
lessen diseases. There is no cost
connected with it. The children are
simply examined. and if condition
is found which needs treatment they
are told. The parents may then use
their own judgment about having
the child treated by their own ply
sicion. To make the work easy for
the doctors, who have volunteered
to give their time to it, the children
should be talked to at home in wise
manner. so they will understand
that it is for their good. The date
has notsyet been fixed, but it will
come some time in the next few
weeks.

Hughes Condemns and
Wilson Defends the
8-Hour Law
THAT PREVENTED RR. STRIKE

Since Charles E. Hughes, Rupub-
lican candidate for President, has
seen fit to make the matter an is
sue in the campaign, to condemn
Woodrow Wilson, President, the
Democratic members of Congress
and the seventy Republican MEM
bers of that body who voted for the
Adamson eight hour day law and,
by that attitude tell the country
that he would have preferred the
strike Of the 100000 employees o
the railroads to the passage Of the
law which prevented it, followed by
the known attitude of President
Wilson, which was again verified by
a speech made by the President at
Long Beach, New Jersey, last Sat-
urday, the issue has been fairly
Joined between the two distinguish
ed candidates and the country can
pass judgment on their respective
positions.
Wilson not only defended the
Adamson law because it was not
only the only means in sight by
which the greatest possible national
calamity could be avoided, but be-
cause, as he viewed the question,
the proposal was reasonable and
based upon right.
In his talk of twenty minutes on
the railroad question, President
Wilson said: Y
The chief cloud that is upon the
domestic horizon is the unsatisfac-
tory relations Of capital and labor
the President said, adding that so
long as labor and capital stand an
tagonistic, the interests Of both are
injured and the prosperity Of Amer
lea is held back from the triumphs
which are legitimately its own"
Mr.. Wilson spoke Of the brightest
future for American business, and
then launched directly into a discus
sion of the railroad situation.
Without directly mentioning Charles
E. Hughes, the Republican nominee,
the President brought in the repub-
licen party by saying that about
seventy republicans supported the
eight-hour law in the house ofrepre-
sentatives, and senate republicans
put no obstacle in the way Of the
passage Of the measure.
This was because the proposal
was reasonable and was based upon
right asserted Wr. Wilson.
The President met the arguments
that the railroad question should
have been arbitrated with the fiat
statement that he did not believe
the eight-hour day an arbirable
question.
Means Of preventing q repetition
of the threatened railroad strike
were taken up in detail. The Pres
ident said: 1T will be intolerable
if at any time any group Of men by
any process SHOULD be suffered to

supplies which sustain life

ATLANTA CHAMBER fNCREAS-
ES ITS MEMBERSHIP

Atlanta, Jan. 15.-By campaign OF
only four days, under the direction of
the new president, Victor Kreigshaber,
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
has increased its membership fully 80
and 1-3 per cent, jumping from 1000
members to over 1,500.
The significance of the increase is
seen in its serious light when it is
known that each new member pays
dues of $40 or $50 a year, according to
whether he joins as an individualor as
a firm.
The Chamber of Commerce is part
OF the movement to revive the old
substantial Atlanta spirit, now that
the recall election hasput final end
to>the discussions from which At
lantahas been suffering for many
months.
