The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1916-01-07

THAT surprise package we spoke of reached
! the party for whom it was intended and
it proved big one.
HEADLINE says "Mr WILSON will handle
: the new crisis" Yes; just like he has
the rest of them-rotten.
MR. FORD, in future, had hetter confne him
1Vl self to making tin Lizzies something
he has some knowledge of.
WHEN the Ramrod returned from Benton, he
w had the appearance of a man who had
eaten something that didn't agree with him.
NEXT gubernatorial election will show whether
the Democratic party wags the Anti-Saloon
League or if its members have minds OF their
own.
THE Chattanooga Times sees Mr.. McKELLAR
L in the United States Senate like it used to
see Mr.. Moon in the gubernatorial chair-only
it didn't.
TT WOULDN'T surprise us if the people are
L not about as we'll tickled over the prosperity
they are now enjoying as with what they had in
18o3-o6.
TARIFF means trade; trade means work;
L work means happy and contented families
and standard of living incomprehenslble to
the pauper labor of Europe.
THE game of politics is never out until the
last card is on the table. The cut may be
shifted once in awhile, but the line is always
drawn when five aces show up in the deck.
THE Democratic party has bee the greatestcu curse
to those innocent women and children who
have, for two years, been deprived of the me-
cessties of life through iniquitous legislation
WITH the Democratic snout in the swlll trough
w up to its eyes, the courtesies that used to
obtain in the County Court are now forgotten in
the lust for spois. Time, though, brings changes
ONE of Polk County's teachers is authority
~ for the statement that if the County Court
would fix it so that teachers would not have to
discount their warrants, the favor would be ap-
preciated
A BOUT all we can see in the published report
"A of that Pike Road Investigating Commit
tee is that three deserving Democrats needed
a months work and got t-and the taxpayers
will foot the bills.
IF TT is not true that the tariff is now to blame
L for our financial condition, how does it hap
pen that the situation now is Identical with that
of 1893, when the same party was in power
and exhibiting about the same amount OF grey
matter?
The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1916-01-07

TT BEGINS to look like BEN W. HOOPER is the
man who will retire K. D. MCCLELLAN to
private life.
A ETER the next National election, there will
not be SO many lame ducks as there will
be dead ones,
THE Democratic party can be hit upon SO many
L vulnerable spots that one hardly knows
where to begin.
ABOUT one day next April, the Republicans
"A of Polk County will get together and select
the ticket that will win in August.
1T WAS evidently Mr., FoRD's opinion that what
1 what was taking place on the Oscar IL was
worse that what was going on in the trenches.
ANOTHER submarine horror is announced.
1 Isn't it about time that Washington learned
that paper wads were mighty poor ammunition
IF YOU want to see the average Democrat
froth at the mouth, just call his attention to
the fact that his party can expect no help from
the Progressives, this year.
CECRETARY LANSING says the United States
~ will stand behind any of its citizens. Yes,
but the present Administration is so far behind
as to be of no practical value.
THE ST. Louis Clobe-Democrat wants to know
if Nebraska is going to send Mr., BRYAN to
the St. Louis convention so that ne can dlsobey
instructions as he did at Baltimore.
DEVISE the tariff upward NOW and investigate
IL the mattar afterward. The country can
wait, but idle workmen and their dependent
families demand action action at once.
Jeff MCCARN, of Nashville has resigned as
y United States District of Hawaii in order to
be both honest and happy" Is it possible for
Democrat to be honest in office or happy with
out one?
DEN W. HOOPER gave out an interview just
u after the meeting of the Republican State
Executive Committee that caused the Chattan-
ooga Times to throw a fit. Take drink OF
that stuff they ship in coffns
THE way the Federal Reserve Banks are hurt
ing the big financial institutions OF New
York is shame. In other words, it is doubtful
if the National City, j. P. MORGAN and others
know the Reserve Banks are in existence. 81 g
TT is passing strange that the President has
never explained the contrast between his po-
sition now on the question of preparedness and
that of a year ago. Then he was too proud to
fight, but now he is not too proud to resort to
subterfuge and dissimulation to get votes.

TRYING TO BE MORE CERTAIN
ABOUT WEATHER FORECASTS

There are few who haven't laughed
the weatherman to scorn when some
of his forecasts have failed to come
true. But we forget that the wealth
er bureaus forecast is only a prob
ability. The weather man never tells
you that this or that WILL. happen.
He knows he dare not The atmos-
phere above us is so illimitable-so
many unknown things can happen in
the vast vault that what looks GER
tain to come cannot be stated as alb
solutely certain
The United States weather depart
ment is all the time going farther
afield-and a-air-with it's scientific
Investigations, so that forecasts shall
be more certain, hoping that at some
distant day they may be able to be
absolutely certain as to their fore
casts.
For example, an investigating sta
ton at Omaha is to explore the high
attitudes continuously with the aid
of kites and balloons, for advance
information of storms from the far

anese lanterns swung on the porch,
while in the living rom there was
the additional decoration of big
screen of hemIock boughs studded
with punches of pink and white
sweet peas, before which the cere-
mony took place.
After two beautiful violin num-
bers the strains of Lohengrin's we'd
ding march announced the coming Of
the bridal party and Rev. J. K. Will
liams entered, followed shortly by
the groom and his best man, Martin
w. Chaffee. A little later, attended
by Miss Elizabeth Adams as maid of
honor, appeared the bride, daintily
gowned in white georgette crepe and
silk and carrying huge shower bou.
quet of white roses and ferns. The

Refreshments further provided for
the pleasure of the guests, who wait
ed until the departure of the bride

TEEN in which Mr.. and Mrs. Renfrew

scented by the Congregational church
