in full the demands made by Presidenr
Wilson. The German Government ex-
presses implicit confidence that these
orders will be executed in good faith by
the German submarine commanders.
The German government refuses to
admit responsibility for the damaging
OF the Channel liner Sussex, but de-
clares that should further investiga-
tion show the Sussex was sub
marine victim, Germany will make
full amends.
Germany's backdown is preceded by
a sharp arraignment of the govern

raignment is based largely on the
charge that the United States has
failed to bring Great Britain to book
for violations OF international law as
outrageous as those charged against
Germany's naval forces.

vember. Leaving national affairs out
of consideration, Tennessee democracy
is due to win because of Gov. Rye's
splendid administration, Throughout
the campaign two years ago he de-
clared himself as favoring a strict law
enforcement administration. He has
kept his promise to the letter and
thereby firmly established himself in
the hearts of the people The people
trusted him then because of his per-
sonal record and his splendid official
record as Encouragement of this ju-
dicial circuit. They have watched
his record now for nearly, two. years
as governor. During this time he has
kept the faith with them. He has
fought good fight against lawless-
ness and disorder wherever found and
has fairly won the great victory which
will surely be his in November. N

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.

Now is the time for parents to get
busy in the interest of the education
of their children. After the teacher has
worried through a profitless year with
boy and failed in her efforts to adj
vance him because of lack of proper
support on the part of his parents, it
is entirely unbecoming to raise howl
about the shortcomings of the teacher
and the unfairness shown the boy.
When your boy is fair with the
teacher she will be fair with him. No
teacher ever courted trouble with a
boy just for troubles sake. Nine
teaths of the trouble at school has It's
llsfigiu Al honae 9S ,sas W. .IS55
y - sAssa-ss ssss's ~ IS
There are entirely too many par
ents who need schooling themselves.
There are too many parents who are
controlled by their children when they
should do the controlling themselves.
There is a growing disposition on the
part of parents to grant children more
and more liberty. Correction is becom-
ing an unknown quantity in too many
homes and the parents of these same
homes are very much Inundated and
angered when the teacher as a last re-
sort gets hold of the youngster in the
old-time, wholesome way.
Better stand by the teacher for the
child's sake and better still, use a lit
tie common sense in looking after the
home side of your child's life.
II your ySungster is allowed to pa
rade the streets night and day, if you
never assist the teacher by the use of
proper restriction when outside mat
tiers would draw him away from
his school duties, don't be surprised
when he gets into trouble and fails to
make his grade at the end of the term.
You may feel the humiliation, but just
charge it up to your own short COM
ings and not to the boy or teacher.

JOE RAMSEY.

The news of Joe Ramsey's death,
which appears in another column of
this paper, will bring sorrow to many
hearts in Brownsville. While con-
Quoting revival meeting here several
years ago, the full beauty and deep
love of his Christian life, devoted en-
tirely to the work of his Master. won
for him the lasting friendship of all
who were intimately associated with
him. Though physically blind, he
spent a splendid life in helping his
Master cure the spiritual blindness of
many whom he found walking in dark
ness unknown to him. Joe Ramsey's
life was a benediction to thousands
who will love and honor his memory
through time and eternity. Because
he helped you and me, brother, let us
cherish his memory and emulate his
example, for he went about doing good.
