THE GIANT AWAKE.

we nave Out recently witnessed an
event in this country the like of which
the world has never before seen-at
least, the world of knowledge. We
have witnessed the entrance into the
ranks of a nations fighting men, Of
ten million soldiers, waiting for the
call to the colors. We see today an
army of nearly two million men actual
" under arms, equipped and assembled
ready to do or die in their country's
service.
1t is an amazing sight America,
the peaceful; America, the cradle of
federation, the nursery of justice and
right-America in arms and spring.
ing to the fray!
And the strange feature Of the case
is. it has astonished even Americans
themselves, We had been so long ac-
customed to hearing ourselve referred
to as a sleeping giant that we had
come to so regard ourselves. We had
thought that the affairs of the out
side world concerned us not, and that
we were sufficient unto ourselves.
But today sees the giant awake. A
little groggN it is true, but rapidly
assimilating the power and might that
will sweep everything before him once
he gets his stride. 1t also sees him
shorn of his provincialism and taking
his rightful place in the world-a man
of power and might among men of
power and might.
And being awake, we find confront
ing US one of the most stupendous
tasks that over confronted people.
we mid ourselves the probable decid-
ing factor in world war, the balance
of power that shall make this world a
safe place for the abode of all men
a world in which RIGHT and not
MIGHT shall reign.
And with this great task before us,
we are going about our preparations
as BELTS people who have not only
confidence in their own powers, but
full appreciation of the magnitude of
the task as well. While we have not
proclaimed it broadcast, yet within
the hearts of our people there is a firm
determination that the sword shall not
be sheathed until the cause of human
ity has triumphed over the forces of
oppression and tyranny. There is but
one sentiment heard form the lips of
all loyal people: eve MUST win"
Therein lies the meaning of the
quiet, deep, but deadly purpose of our
people. We must win for humanity's
sake. And when were our people call
ed upon to perform a task for human
ity, that they failed?
Our millions who have been called
should come cheerfully. They should
step forward with the fullest appreci-
alton of the work before them. and
also with supreme confidence in their
ability to perform that task. This is
the spirit that conquers and it will
conquer in this instance.
Soldiers of America, never in histo-
ry could it be more truthfully said
that "the eyes of the world are upon
you"

TINE FOR ACTION.

Sunday was a red letter day for
speed fiends in Haywood county. Re-
ports came in Monday of more than
half dozen accidents, some Of them
being of a most serious nature, nearly
ali of which were traceable to reckless,
daredevil driving. In this county
lust anybody who can press the but
ton and let her go" is allowed to drive
car, and they DO drive at anywhere
from ten to sixty miles per hour, just
as the fancy strikes them.
Nervous people and all Others who
have care for their lives, are fast
coming to find little pleasure in their
machines. Turn a corner ever so care
fully and you are in danger of running
into a speed fend going at the rate Of
forty miles an hour on the wrong
side of the steet, giving no warning
at crossings, and seemingly utterly
Indifferent as to your safety or his
own.
Anv man who keeps within the law
full speed limit, even though his car
may be filled with ladies, will be fore
ed many times during an afternoons
drive to take the dust of some reek-
less young chap who doesn't know the
first principles Of courtesy and polite
ness and who may think it smart to
show his ability at 'going around
anyone who may chance to be in his
way.
True, there are laws against fast
and reckless driving in Brownsville and
Haywood county. but so seldom are
these enforced that they have come to
be considered when considered at ally
more as a joke than something to be
respected or feared. Officers seem to
think that this is one law which was
not made for enforcement. We draw
this conclusion because we see it so
openly and VIGOROUSLY yiolatedboth by
day and night, week in and week out
This is serious matter and one
that must be righAed one ~as-Hss.ani
other. Better repeal the law and by
so doing notify all men that there is
no protection for them except self
protection, rather than have it treat
ed in the present farsical manner,
Again we call the attention of both
county and city officers to the reckless
violation of this law and urge them
to do their duty toward enforcing it.
The good, law-abiding people of
Brownsville and Haywood county are
demanding it. If officers do their du-
ty, this paper will see to it and the
good people of this town and county
will see to it, that they are backed up
and supported in every needful way.
If they continue to permit open and
reckless disregard for this law, then
they are going to have to answer to
the people, and that right soon for
their derelction of duty.
Get busy, officers, and do your duty.
If you don't, thepeople are going to get
busy and do their duty.
