The Red Cross
BY Or, FRANK CRANE
Copyright, 1915, by Frank cranel

1t is curious quirk in the human
mind that it has believed all along that
while system, organization, and intelli-
gent efficiency are necessary in such af-
fairs are business, crime, war, or any
thing else that's hard and dangerous. YOU
should conduct all matters of charity or
religion as loosely and incompetently as
possible.
John j. Holland used to say that the
strongest proof that the Church is a di-
vine institution is that it still exists in
spite of the fact that il has been so mis-
managed, and if God had not specially
looked after it it would long ago have
succumbed to the fate of the bunglers.
We are beginning to learn that the
business Of helping men needs as much
sense and planning as the business of
hurting them. In fact, it takes greater
skill to give money than it does to get
money, if you are not going to do more
harm than good.
In the grim business of war the hui
name impulses are profoundly stirred.
The heart of the world leaps to bind up
the wounds of the injured, and in other
ways to alleviate the terrific plague.
For many years these impulses found
Repression as lamely and as occasionally
and as imperfectly as is usual in all elee-
mosynary matters. Kindly sisters Of
mercy, priests, and lay workers did what
they could on the field of battle. with the
result that for the most part the wounded
persisted miserably and ravaged lands
were left in unreieved desolation
1t was only in the latter half of the
last century that we began to put some
system and foresight into this humane
work, and the Red Cross movement was
organized to bring relief not only in war
but in such great calamities as fire, flood,
and earthquake
II has grown to great proportions. All
civilized governments recognize its be-
nefcent results.
The Red Cross is the vast. humane,
helpful instincts of the human race, or
gained into their most efficient express
sion
It cares for the unfortunate, without
regard to race, color, or creed, simply be-
cause they are human
1t is the nobest forthputting Of charity
known.
1t brings to the victims Of war help and
succor as expert and as intelligent as
military science brings to their destruc-
ton.
1t is the business of soldier to kill.
II is the business of the Red Cross to
save, to heal, to relieve
There il no enterprise that should more
strongly appeal to the lover of his kind
than the Red Cross.
"All good men," said the philosopher,
are of one religion" Could any better
field be found where men of all shades
of opinion can unite TO help their fellow
men than the Red Gross?

A NOTABLE VICTORY.

No small share OF credit for the
defeat of Hilary H0wse in Nashville
is due to the Nashville Banner. 1t
made a remarkably effective and in
teIligent fight on him. 1t gave daily
brief extracts from court and other
official records showing why he was
not qualified for the place.
The editorials attacking Howse
were exceptionally strong. Richard
H. Yancey. the veteran editor of that
5oGrnal. was at his best. Always a
strong. earnest. virile and aggressive
writer. having an exceptionally fine
command of the English language. but
rithal style that is easily under
stood by the masses. Iancey even sur
passed himself in his editorial express

". 3. FOSTER HAS
ARRANGED MATTERS

W. B. Foster, of the William B. Eos
ter Produce Co, has been selected by
The war department in the next mere
ment Of drafted men, and will leave
next Wednesday, October Bird. for At
.anta, the place Of mobilization. Mr..
To-tar goes with sever-I other men
from Maury county to do service for
the country.
Mr.. Foster in leaving his business
for the army Of his country is making
a great business sacrifice, besides
leaving a young wife. He has five
produce houses. ali of which have
been doing a splendid business. Mr..

he downfall of the erstwhile bizarre

the downfall of the erstwhile bizarre
boss.
AS is too often the case with editors
of great metropolitan journals, Mr..
Yancey is little known to the readers
of the Banner. Probably not one
reader in a dozen of that paper know
who writes it's editorials, always one
of the strongest features of the Ban
ner. No paper in the South, in fact,
has a stronger or more interesting
editorial page than the Nashville af-
ternoon daily and Yancey has made
that page. Having wide range OF
useful information, familiar with
state, local, national and even inter
national politics, having general
knowledge of art and science and be-
ing at home with the masters of lit
erature Yancey is exceptionally well
equipped for the editorial desk. He
has done yoeman work for civic re-
generation in Tennessee.
The pity of it all is that, although
nearing the sunset of useful and
vigorous life, Mr.. Yancey has received
small credit for the achievements that
he has wrought. That is the great
trouble with the worker on the metro
politan journal. He loses his identity,
becomes merely cog in machine.
But the press boys of the state know
and appreciate the Banners able
editor.

BUY LilERTY BONDS.

BUY LlGEnIf 6ONIo.
Maury county is expected to buy
not less than 100000 of the present
Issue of Liberty Bonds. 1t ought not
10 be a difficult matter with the wealth
OF this county TO sell that amount OF
the government gilt edge obliga-
tions. No safer investment in all the
world can be made. These bonds bear
interest at the rate OF four per cent,
are free from local and state taxation
and are based upon the whole faith
and credit and property of the people
Of the United States.
But there are reasons that should
fmpel our citizens to purchase these
bonds to the limit of their ability and
then even beyond, which should
appeal more powerfully than the ques-
ton of safe and paying investment.
This nation is at war. This means
that every citizen of the republic is
ut war Everything on earth that we
have, the hope of peace and happiness
and security of our children and our
children's children, all is involved in
the outcome of this struggle with
Prussian autocracy and barbarism. If
we do not achieve victory in this
war then our freedom, our right to
live as we would live and not as some
autocrat would have us live, is gone.
The country is facing the greatest
crisis in all it's history. 1t is fighting
In its own self defense.
The war can only be won with mon
~. There must be funds with which
to pay for the food, the clothing, the
equipment, the munitions of our gal
liant soldiers. Already some 800 SOL
diers and sailors from this county
have answered the call to the high
duty of defending the liberties of their
country. The people here are asked
of their abundance to subscribe $1,000
for each man now in the service, a
mere bagatelle. The men who have
gone to the front are offering them
selves, their all and surely the people
who are left at home amid all the
comforts and pleasures of their own
fresides, can afford to provide the
means for their comfort and their
strength. - t-l..+3~'
Surely those who are safely at home
In the enjoyment of their property
ram afford to subscribe the money
necessary to feed and clothe the men
who have gallantly gone to die if .
necessary to make that property safe.
Il is a solemn duty, an imperative OBJ
legation to buy these bonds. /
Do not say that 1.-The government
will somehow furnish the means. Do
not speak in the old hackneyed phrase
that "the government" will do this
and that as though the government
WAS something apart from us all, a
sort of intangible institution at Wash
ington with the power to create
wealth. This government is yours, it
is your glorious heritage, the greatest
that ever descended upon free peo-
ple. 1t is just what your heroic an
cestors and patriotic colleagues have
made it. The government gets every
dollar of its substance from the peo-
ple. II moves and has it's being as
you and other citizens direct. If the
people fail in this crisis, the nation
will fail and then God help the people !
of America.

PATRIOTIC BANKER.

All the patriots OF the country are
not wearing uniforms, nor have all of
them entered some service of the gov.
eminent for the duration of the war.
In our adulation of things military
let us not forget that the maintenance
of the civilian affairs of the country
is necessary if our soldiers are to be
supplied with the munitions of war.
The war has not produced greater
patriot in Tennessee than l. B. Tigrett,
Jackson banker, who, at personal
loss to himself, negotiated the sale of
the $1,O00,0OO University of Tennessee
bonds that have been for some time a
drug on the market, and made it pos
sible for the states great educational
institution to proceed with the i'm
provements that are needed to make
it more efficient.
The transaction is described in the
following report from the Nashville
Banner:
After three futile efforts to sell
the $1,000,0O0 state university bonds
at public bidding, the funding board
of Tenn5 ssee, as authorized, yesterday
disposed of these bonds privately to
about twenty-five state banks repre-
sented by Ike B. Tigrett, of Jackson.
For some reason the banks repre-
scented disagreed about the purchase
Of the bonds and as result of this
disagreement Mr.. Tigrett, late last
night, resold the bonds to R. NJ. Grant
& Co., of New York and Chicago, at
personal loss to himself.
THE facts in regard to the sale of
the bonds by Mr. Tigrett were made
known today. R. NJ. Grant & Co. had
a representative here yesterday to
confer with the funding board in re-
gard to the bonds, but made no bid
The price at which Mr.. Tigrett let r.
M. Grant & Co. have the bonds has
not been made public. The bonds
were sold to Mr.. Tigrett at par, and
Az per cent interest"
Mr. Tigrett is a member of the
board Of trustees of the University, 50
he realized the straits into which the
institution had fallen because of the
meagre support it has been given by
the state. When the bonds authorized
by the last session of the legislature
failed to be sold, he formed a pool of
rs banks for the purpose of buying
them. The transaction was made, but
there was disagreement about the
terms, and it was characteristic OF
Mr. Tigrett that he set about another
method of disposing of the bonds
without regard to what might be his
own loss. Having undertaken the
sale of them, he had no thought of
failure.
This transaction is of peculiar in
terest to the people of Maury county,
because 100000 of the money derived
from the bonds will be used for the
construction of buildings and stocking
the Middle Tennessee Experims mt sta
ton which has been located by the
state in Maury county, and which will
be one of the most important branch
es Of the agricultural college,
Mr.. Tigrett is to be commended for
his patriotic action. 1t is not every
banker that would have been so lib
eral. Many of them would not have
touched the matter at an even break.
Put the Jackson banker is one who
puts public service before private gain
and his name should go down with
those other patriots who are sustain
ing the glory of Tennessee.

SOUTHERN PINE BEST
FOR AiRPLANE MATERIAL

Atlanta, May 11.-Aviation experts
both in the United States and among
the European Allie have decided that
southern pine is the best adapted
lumber for airplane braces, from the
standpoint of Hghtness, strength and
durability. The terrific currents Of
the upper air impose severe strain
on the flying machines, and only lum-
Der CT the staunchest fiber can be
used with safety in constructing them.
The British aerial service for some
lime has been utilizing southern pine
as the main element Of wood in the
construction Of flyers, according to
advices received in Atlanta, and ma
chimes captured from the Germans
show that they also, inspite of the
rigid blockade, have managed to OBJ
tain at least a small supply of south
ern pine.
