quent occurrence to make the picture
familiar to all.
With many people it is not because
their daily tasks are distasteful or that
their real attitude toward their asSo-
ciates is aggressive; it is more a mat
ter of rather ill-cOnceived ideas OF
what constitutes rest or diversion.
1t isn't possible in a few words to
describe the Saturday-untll-Mond
habits of everyone. The majority Of
people, however, are apt to fall into
two general divisions. One class tries
to crowd too much into the time be-
tween one weeks end and the begin
ming of the next weeks labor and
take up their business on Monday
morning exhausted and oyertired in
stead of refreshed by the "day of rest"
The other class goes to extremes by
overeating and understanding and
the result is equally unhappy.
Try to strike happy medium. Re
member that the Oheerfulness which al
most invariably begets its like Is well
nigh impossible to one who Is tagged
out or dulled by overeating.

There are encouraging indications
that the Government at last has be-
come fully aroused to the seriousness
of the German spy proplem and has
begun to adopt practical and effect
i've methods of dealing with it,
A dispatch from Washington an
nounces that all Germans formerly
connected either with the Embassy at
the capital or any one of the many
C9rsulatos in this country have been
requested by the government to leave
the United States. Notification that
their presence in America is undersir
able has been sent to them by the
State Department. According to the
dispatch, they were not told that they
were suspected of being spies, but the
inference that their loyalty to the
Kaiser might make it difficult for
them to remain in the United States
without attempting to send informa-
ton of a military character to their
government was made clear.
This action of the government will
cause inconvenience to all the Ger
mans affected, many of whom may be
guiltless of any attempt to send mill
ta'y information to their government.
But some of them may have sent such
information, and the decision of the
government to require all of them to
leave the county is justified as war
measure. Posi- they should be given
their chois between deportation and
internment.
The government of necessity must
resort to the most drastic measure to
prevent information of its military
plans and movements from reaching
Germany. 1t seems that so far no mill
tary movement has been made OF
which the German government has
not received advance information. 1t
is vitality important to allied interests
in the war that these sources of in
formation be discovered and destroy
ed, and this government is now taking
steps to that -Herald-COurier

SOME MISUNDERSTANDING

II have learned in the the last day
II two that there is still some mis-
understanding as to wheather or not
the Constitutional Convention should
Il be called, would have to submit It's
work to the people or not, said Presi-
dent j. L. McWhorter Of the Conven-
ton League. II had thought that the
facts were so clearly known that no
misrepresentation on this point could
now exist"
House bill No. 90 the Act provid-
ing for the Convention, recites in its
caption that the Convention is to
formulate amendments to the Consti-
tuition to be voted on separately by
the people
Section nine Of the Act recites that
at special election the date of which
is to be fixed by the Convention, all
The Johnson City comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1916-1917, 1917-07-12

amendments adopted or recommended
by the Convention shall be submitted
separately for the approval or re-
lection of the legal voters.
so, it is seen, the Convention can
do nothing more than make sugges-
tons to the people; the people may
accept all of the amendments or re-
ject all, or accept some and reject
some; the whole matter is in the ex-
elusive power of the people at least
to dispose of as they deem wisest
and best"

CERTAIN-TEED costs less to buy,

1t is light weight, clean, sanitary and
fire retardant. 1t will not dry out or

Upon each of the three previous oc-
casions when a new Constitution was
submitted to the people it had to be
accepted or rejected as a whole. the
plan provided by the last legislature
is far better. Under it all the amend
ments proposed by the Convention
are to be passed on separately; some
will be adopted, some may be rejected
This is as it should be. In that way
the people won't be compelled to &C
cept a single amendment of which
they do not approve.

Constitution making appeals always
to the patriotism of the people. 1t
would be the case in Tennessee today
were a convention called. The Euro
pean War has aroused and deepened
the spirit of patriotism among the
American people. This spirit would
find a congenial expression in franz
ing a constitution, whose purpose
would be to advance the welfare and
destiny of the commonwealth.
