Dresden enterprise and Sharon tribune. (Dresden, Tenn.) 1907-1997, 1916-11-24

The Enterprise has been asked
to call attention to the condition OF
the big red hill north Of town on
the Dresden-Latham road, point
ing out that this hill is all but inn
passable. In fact, parties coming
to Dresden from the north part of
the county in cars during the past
few weeks have left their cars on
top Of The hill, walking into town,
because they were afraid to at.
tempt coming down the hill. 1t is
in a very dangerous condition
full of sand holes and narrowplaces
We understand the business men
of Dresden are being censured for
the condition of this hill. There is
no doubt but that it is costing this
town considerable trade, and yet,
the citizens of Dresden have re-
peatedly spent money putting this
hill in ship-shape, only to be al.
lowed to wash away. But a year
or two ago our business men
spent about $3.50 repairing this
hill, and those who have to travel
it every time they come to town al
lowed it to get in its present con-
dition, when, with just a little
work on their part once in a while
could have saved the hill and made
a good roadway. We do not think
our business men merit censure
in this matter. Certainly they
have done their part toward this
hill, as we'll as the Bragg hill, east
Of town.

ow of a doubt, and every newspa-

ow Of a doubt, and every newspa-
per so announced the result.
New York had gone to him by an
overwhelming majority, carry
ing with it New Jersey and Con-
necticut. Illinois and Indiana
were republican. The old align
ment of states which had decided
so many presidential elections had
given its electoral votes to Mr..
Hughes, and apparently President
Wilson was hopelessly beaten.
For half a century these five
states had been the United States
in a national election. Their vote
was the voice Of the Union. The
republican managers, following
precedent, had poured their money
into these states and done their
work in these states. With these
states secure, Mr.. Hughes cleo
ton was a matter only of MAORI
ties.
Then something happened. The
West spoke-the West that the re-
publican campaign managers had
contemptuouslY disregarded. Slow
ly the east came to realization that
Mr., Hughes was not elected. Ev-
erything was in doubt. The swing
was toward President Wilson,
The West had repudiated reac-
tionary republicanism. Kansas
had followedColorano and Nebras-
ka into the Wilson column. Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming had followed
Montana and Nevada. Washing
ton was democratic, with Cali
fornia turning to Wilson and Ore
gon hanging in the balance.

FELL FROM LOFT;
HURT; Then WELL
How Man Who Landed On a
Wood Pile and Was Sore From
Head to Foot Found
Quick Relief.

Once upon a time Edwin Putnam,
who lives in the quiet, pretty hamlet
OF Wendell Dept, Mass, climbed up
into loft to some building material,
just as many another man living in
the country must often do. Suddenly
he slipped and fell. Ten feet below
was a pile of wood, knotted and
gnarled. 1t was a nasty tumble, and
Mr.. Putnam was injured painfully in
the back, he was covered with bruises,
and was sore from head to foot.
The next day he bought a bottle OF
Sloan's Liniment which had been re-
commended to him. Within very
few hours the soreness had vanished
and the lameness had disappeared.
He was an active man once more.
Sloan's Liniment can be obtained
at all durg stores, 25c SIC and S1.O0.

ELECT PRESIDENT.

Commenting on the presiden.
tial election, Home and FARM, a
non.partisan, non-political paper,
says:
The farmers OF the West had turned
the tide OF battle, the democrats had
elected a president without the aid OF
Tammany hall or the vote. of Indiana.
1t is a great triumph for peace and
for progressive politics, rising above
all party relations. Home and Farm
is not a partisan paper; is not politi-
cal paper, but it must note the course
of political events as they affect farm
interests. 1t has seemed to US that the
democrats under Wilson have broken
away from the influences OF Wall
street, and were legislating in behalf
Of the farmer and the workingmen.
The lower tariff, the road legislation,
the farm demonstration law and the
rural credit laws, are measures which
will lift many burdens from the farm
which were placed there by legislation
in behalf OF other interests, To thrnat.
en- to wipe out all this legislation, as
Hughes threatened to do, was chal-
lenge accepted by the farmers regard
less OF politics and it was the farmers
vote that elected Wilson. This is cause
for thanksgiving truly,
The farmer can now look to the fu-
ture with greater confidence than ever
before.

AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.

There is growing sentiment in
favor OF an amendment to the fed
eral constitution providing for the
election of presidents by a direct
vote of the people, doing away with
the electors and the electoral col
lege.
The Enterprise heartily endorses
this idea. In the first place, it is
in perfect accord with the present
day American spirit. The elector-
al college has served its purpose
and ought to be shelved. When
there were not so many common.
wealths in the union as today, and
when there were not SO many peo-
pie voting as there are today, the
electoral college was all right.
One great objection to the plan
ofchoosing president is the length
of the ballot the voter is forced to
use. We saw a few days ago a
ballot used in the Ohio election.
This ballot was about thirtY-six
inches long by about eighteen wide,
and full of names from top to bot
tom. There were half a dozen diff
ferent sets of presidential electors,
with twenty-four names to each
set, and besides these all the state,
county and district officers to be
voted for. This is entirely too
cumbersome. 1t is waste of pa
per, time and money. 1t is too
great a task upon the voter to force
him to pick from among those two
hundred or more names.t the ones he
desires to cast his ballot for.
Another thing: When the cleo
toral college assemblies in Wash
ington there is no guarantee that
he won't cast the vote of the
state be represents for the minori-
ty candidate in his state, There
is no law to prevent him doing so.
While this, perhaps, may never
have been done, yet it is possible
for it to happen and the messenger
representing his state go unwhipt.
The public is demanding a
change, and the federal constitu-
ton ought to be amended so that a
president may be elected by popu-
lar vote. The Enterprise goes on
record as favoring the change.

thirty.seven votes in state conven-

we are entitled to one convention

it was for a fraction over
one hundred, but Mr.. Garrett is

DON'T COMPLAIN.

During the pastfew weeks a num-
Der OF subscribers have complained
that they failed to receive their
papers. Don't complain. We have
been forced, through the high
price of paper, labor and living
expenses generally, to put the
Enterprise on a observation-disclosures
basis. You pay for your city
weekly, your farm paper and your
church paper in advance and can
not reasonably complain if circum-
stances force us to ask that you
pay for the Enterprise in advance.
Now, don't get your back up
and conclude that we are afraid to
risk you for a years subscription
to the Enterprise. Haven't we
been risking you all along-some
of you for one, two and three years?
It isn't a matter Of doubling your
honesty-it's simply question
with us of collecting in advance or
raising the rate, as so many papers
in this immediate section are do
ing-some of them no better, and
others not so good as the Enter
prise, either. There isn't a name
on our list that we would be afraid
to extend credit to for five years
il it were possible for US to do so
and continue in business. We
know your standing and reputa-
ton for paving your obligations.
Therefore, we are not afraid to
risk any Of you, but the price of
paper-in fact, everything going
into the production of a newspaper,
has advanced to such a high price
within very recent months that no
paper can continue in business
unless it either raises its rate of
subscription or collects in advance,
This is latter what the Enterprises
doing, and we regret that some OF
our subscribers fail to understand
why they do not receive their
papers, after reading what we have
been publishing for the past sew
eral weeks on this subject.
We shall play no fayorites in
this matter. All will be treated
alike. Only last week, we sent
collector around calling upon our
town subscribers. Most Of them
cheerfully paid, but some refused
who could Just as easily have paid.
All they would have to do was to
write a check. But they didn t,
and perhaps, when they failed to
receive paper last Friday felt IN.
kindly toward US.
We have mailed out statements
and sent out circular letters, and
regret to say there are still some
others whom we will be forced to
proceed against for the collection
Of these small amounts.
If you do not want the paper
bad enough to pay for it in adj
vance, kindly tell US so, paying
what you already owe.

Allied Effort to Break
Line Failed, Berlin Says

{ Berlin, Oct g Thy wireless to Say
on the operations on
.the Somme front, the military critic
I OF the Overseas News Agency says:
: THE attack in the lie Sars-Sailly
sector on october 93-24 was without
doubt an attempt on a vast scale to
break through the German front after
enormous artillery preparation, but IT
ended in complete failure.
"From the evening Of the 22d the
enemy was subjected TO heaviest fire,
and the following morning, from south
Of the Ancre River TO ST. Pierre
Vast Wood, there began a lively fire,
which increased to terrific drumtire.
AT the same time the enemy projected
gas into the hollows behind the Ger
man positions and attempted to take
the Germans communications under
an extended fire.
"Hostile air squadrons from a height
OF only 300 feet attacked the German
positions in an effort 70 harass and
terrify the German trench garrison by
yiolen. machine gun fire.
"The British and French attacks, in
deep column formation, were made in
several waves and in the most des-
perate fashion. Everywhere the at
tacks were repulsed.
"a still more splendid result was
obtained between lie Sars and Eau
court FAbbaye, where, according TO
prisoners, the enemy had planned the
main thrust. The German artillery
covered the hostile trenches with such
an apnihilating fire that the enemy
commanders were unable 70 get their
mer from the trenches"

This is likely to be the last power
full effort of the Russians before the
winter sets in. observers here believe.
Faint hints of an imminent offensive
by the Cars troops are seen IN TO-
days developments on the Eastern
front. Berlin Officially reports that
the Russians attacked in the sector
west of Lutsk yesterday after TWO
days artillery preparation.
The fact that the Cars infantry
was not permitted to leave the
trenches until the guns had thorough
ly reduced the enemy's defences indi-
Gates that the movement, though 1t
ended in failure, was planned to be
carried out on large scale.
Berlin officially reports:
"Front of Prince Leopold.-The
Russians, after two days artillery
preparation in the sector west OF
Lutsk. attacked yesterday near La
turze. The attack failed completely,
with heavy losses to the enemy.
The Vienna official report says:
"Frcnt of Prince Leopold.-There
was strong artillery fire by the army
