Two Splendid Tributes Paid Chan
cellor ]. w. Ross of Jackson, Tenn.

1T is said family quarrels are
the most irreconeilible. vet the
deadly one of our fierce civil war
has been so perfectly adjusted that
the blue has faded into the gray
and gray into the blue until, as
often in the heavens above US, we
can't tell whether it is mostly one
or the other, or whether it is
really blue or gray. And all this
under the wonderful and no greater
charm than just TO be all Amerir
can, If the fathers could rise. as
they did, from that bloody con-
hict and become so reconciled each
side to the other as to ask no
higher privilege than to stand
closely together with nothing be.
tween them, under one flag, then
in these times OF danger, howmuch
should we, who have divided only
in opinion aud not in bloodshed.
If this kind of preachment is
wrong, then your great President
Wilson is the greatest sinner of us
all; for he ignores party lines en-
tirely, as so recently in his selec.
ton OF Elihu Root-One of the
strongest, best known republicans,
simply because the president
thought him the best man for the
place be- wanted him; and this, is
only one OF the mary eases where
The has crossed party lines for
the man he wanted.
But you are not here asekd to
follow so far the lead or example
Of your illustriOus president, or to
vote against your politics in select
ing a man for a political office.
But only not let politics keep you
from getting the best man for Il
strictly non political Office; cspec-
tally in these critical times when it
is so big and all-sutticient just to
be an American.
1T is in truth a very far call
from President Wilson's exalted
patriotism to the low plane of the
Olden time when il was thought one
must vote for II waller" dog before
he would for decent republican,
or for one who did not wear the
party collar or stamp of democracy
to show whose dog he was. But
'yaller dog democracy is played
out, especially when it comes to
voting for the non-pplitlcal office
of judges; and more especially in
these critical war times, when
petty, paltry, partisan politics
pales and patriotism proudly pre-
dominates. Respectfully,
ID. w. HERRISG."

Urges independence

Editor TennesSean and American
II have just read with pleasure
the article in your paper of the 5th
entitled Honor to Whom Honor
is Due by d. w. Herring. | want
to add just little bit to this vel
written article in view of the fac
that it is in regard to Chancellor
Ross, who serves this county as its
chancellor.
II agree with Mr.. Herring that
yaller dog, democracy is thing Of
the past, and we stand today on
the threshold of a better day for
that reason. The idea OF. any one
supporting party has never APP
pealed to me, because parties come
and 40, but principles live for
,eser. parties,.it,iS true. must be
organized in order to carry Ger.
tain principles into force, but how
often have the people lost sight of
principles and supported parties.
That is the thing that has or soon
will pass away. Never in the his.
tory of the world have people
thought just like they are thinking
now. The idea of parties ruling
the day will not stand. The old
order Of things is passing away
and a new order is taking
their place. Thrones are crumb-
ling, because the people are reas-
oning and are answering the ques-
ton of the ages why has one man
the right to rule over another man
BY inherited powerl They have
answered this question in parts of
the world already. Our revolu-
fathers answered this on
many bloody battlefield from
Bunker Hill to Yorktown, and ut
last wrested from the unwilling
hands of England the power and
we by their answer enjoy the
blessing of a free people. It has
been said when the peoples begin
10 think, thrones begin to tremble
and this is true.
As was said By Mr.. Herring Chan
cellor Ross deserves an endorse
nent and this not alone because of
his work for the Red Cross; but he
deserves it because of his splendid
qualifications as a Judge. bis fair
rulings, and his square deals that
DO gives all parties that come into
us court. This is. a. deDpcatic,
county, but Judge Ross carried it
before when be ran by over i've
majority, and this he will
10 again should be have any op.
Benton county deserves
o make his nomination unauimous.
Sincerely,
&C. n. FRAzlBg.

Persistent German attacks at first
were repulsed by the Russians. Later
a Russian regiment near the center of

BANGOR GREEKS
MUST RETURN

Bangor. Me, July 2o-The many
Greeks in Bangor are awaiting with
ar interest born of anxiety the out
come Of the political affairs of Greece
al the present time. If Greece is now
in the war as is stated by Nenizelcs
many of the Greek citizens in the
United States will be forced to return.
There are about 80 Greeks in the city
at present who have not served their
time in the army and Others who have
served and are now on the reserve.
These will have to return as their class
is called Several are naturalized and
VIII not have TO 60 back.
The military age in Greece is be-
tween p and As as in the United States
and as the men come of military age
they are forced to serve IA months as
is the custom in many European
countries. Those in this country who
do not return as their turn comes will
not be able to return to Greece in
safety as they would Immediately be
arrested on the charge Of desertion.
There are many Greeks in town who
served three years ago in the Balkan
war and many of these are ready and
willing to return if the news comes. II
a good business and return far across
the ocean to fight, they say, but the
Greeks are a patriotic race and they
are facing the possibility calmly and
without worrying.

CHILD LABOR
Important Ruling on
New Federal Law
Labor Commissioner Eddy Secures
Opinion frcn Dist. Atty. Perry as to
Effect of Law Upon Maine Manufac-
turers

The manufacturers and employers of
Ia Dor in the State Of Maine have been
preparing for the going into effect on
Sept. next Of the Federal child labor
law which prohibits the shipping or de-
livery for shipping for interstate or
foreign commerce any article or com
modify from any mine or quarry or
any article or commodity the product
Of any mill, cannery, workshop, factory
or manufacturing establishment situat-
ed in the United States, in which for
80 days prior to the removal therefrom
children under the age Of II years have
been employed or permitted to work, or
children between the ages of IA and Is
years have been employed or permitted
TO work more than eight hours in any
day or more than six days in any week,
or after the hour of : P. NJ. or before
the hour Of A NJ.
Commissioner Of Industry and Labor
Roscoe a. Eddy, for the purpose of
making clear the meaning, intent and
workings of this federal law for the
manufacturers and employers Of Maine,
has communicated with the United
States attorney for the district Of
Maine, and has received a reply saying
in effect that in the opinion Of that
Office, none of the goods AND commodi
ties mentioned may be shipped from the
State of Maine after the date of Aug.
/, 1917.
Commissioner Eddy in no way gives
this announcement as an opinion or
ruling of his department, because it is
a United States law, and he is taking
interest in the matter wholly in behalf
Of our Maine people, to assist them in
understanding and securing informa
ton which may enable them TO comply
fully and promptly with all its re
quirements
The question arose among the manu-
facturers as to what the effect of the
law would be, if it went into effect on
Sept /, on goods manufactured or pro-
duced after Aug. |, or during the 80
days period mentioned in the law.
