IN THE TENNESSEE NOUN
TAINS
BY JAMES D. BURTON
Director Morgan G. 4. Union

The Tennessee mountains are an
interesting field for Christian En-
deavor. This is the region that
ap pears so mystical and romantic
under the magic touch of Charles
Egbert Craddocl's pen in her vol
umes, "The Prophet of the Great
Smokes" and 'In the Tennessee
Mountains"
A few pen pictures may be in
teresting to Dixie Endeavorers who
are not so fortunate as to live sew
eral hundrea feet above the troub-
les of the world.
In many of the mountain coun-
ties cattle run at largo, and fields
under cultivation have to be fenced
in. Cow bells are strapped about
the neck of cattle with leather
straps. When a COW fails to come
home at night the owner gets out
on the mountain and listens for the
sound of his cows bell. The tink-
ling Of a COW bell can be heard for
miles around. It is babel of con-
fusion to a stranger, but not so to
an owner of COW. He can tell by
listening for a moment whether his
COW is in group which may be a
mile away. There are different
sizes and tones to the bells. When
a cow recognizes her masters voice
she starts for home. One is re-
minded Of the words of Jesus, who
said IL am the good shepherd, and
know my sheep, and am known of
mine"
Thisis the region of the beauti-
full rhododendron and mountain
laurel. 1t grows in cool, shaded ra.
vines along branches and creeks and
s very attractive in summer. The
aurel is the plant loved SO devout
IDLY by our late first lady Of the ma
ion, Mrs Woodrow Wilson.
There is movement on foot to
make this our national flower, and
is hoped that this may be done.
Many of the young peoples So
ieties and Sunday schools make
se of the rhododendron and laurel
n decorating stands for public oc-
asions in the summer.
Christian Endeavor picnics have
cen held at Rhodonendron Falls
ear Oakdale, during the past two
ears. Swimming, Mountain climb
lg and other forms of amusement
of these picnics. Basket
inners are spread at the noon
our and here the young people be-
ome better acquainted. Five such
atherings have been held during
le past summer. AS one of these
atherings there were young People
'esent from two counties and six

60 GET YOUR GUN

Go, get you gun; my little man,
And prime it good and trim;
For Villa heads the bandit clan,
And we must capture him.
Go, get your gun; ye loyal men,
And prime it with will;
Japan is mad as q wet hen,
AT our migration Bill.
Go, get. your gun; and ready be,
For the time>is now at hand;
The Germans now invest the sea,
And all is contraband.
Go, get your gun; and stand your
ground,
Though bombs may round you fall,
No true American can be found
TO neglect his country's call
Go, get your gun; the coast to
guard,
And face the invading host;
To show them how to make it hard
to land upon our coast.
Go, get your gun; the war clouds
rise,
Our watchful wating's o'er;
The dove of peace no longer flies
In the face or the canon's roar,
Go, get your gun; and oil it well,
And help the boys to drill;
And when the noise begins to swell
Hand one to me and Bill.

MARIANS WINSSUIT
GREW OUT OF PETITION FOR
RECALL OF TRINIDAD JUDGE.
Supreme Court Holds That Harsh
Statements in Such Cases Can
not be Construed as Contempt.

Harsh statements contained in re-
call petitions for judges cannot be con-
strued contempt of court, according
to a decision by the state supreme
court.
This decision came out of the case
of A. Marians, citizen of Trinidad,
who circulated a petition for the re-
call of Judge A. W. McHendrie. For
this action Marians was fined $50 for
contempt of court.
The petition gave the reason for
the supposed necessity of recall as
Judge McHendrie's discrimination
against Bob Uhlich, a union labor or
ganizer, held for first degree murder,
and refused bail.
Marians' petition stated that Nc
Hendrie refused to allow Uhlich bail
unless his bond was signed by Judge
Jesse NJ. Northcutt. land you might
as well ask Rockefeller to sign" read
the petition.
Under the statutes of the state the
right of petition for recall is granted
to any citizen, and it is required that
the cause be stated. Because of this,
the decision of the Las Animas court
was reversed.
Walter G. Hines, president of the
Las Animas County Bar Association,
acted for Marians.

Public Utilities Properties as Basis
For Currency Issue.
Editor Denver Labor Bulletin:
What / propose is this:

what / propose is this:
Let the government take over. from
time to time, as much of the property
of public utilities concerns as is neces-
sary to raise a sufficient amount of
circulation medium. and issue TO pay
therefor, not bonds, but currency.
By so doing and then charging a
rate for the service rendered, so an
income of say 10 per cent per annum
is made, and using this TO retire the
issue, in 10 years the property is
paid for without anybody ever feel
ing it." for the owners got the
full value from the government and
the public has paid no higher rate
for the service.
As thus shown, the principle is pre-
cisely the same as the present method
of issuing certificates against humps
of dead gold and silver lying in the
government vaults, with the advant-
age accruing here that the govern
ment owns a live. earning property
instead of a dead, non-earning re-
serve
If this were done. the large sums
of money that would be paid out BY
the government to the owners, of the
railroads would. in all probability, be
returned almost Immediately to the
government by the purchase of the
bonds now issued.
But we do not need to stand on
probabilities, for these properties
could be used in precisely the same
manner as the gold and silver reserves
for floating certificates, two or three
times in excess of the bullion value.
thus making bond issues thing of the
past
In this manner we could raise all
the money necessary to finance the
present war without troubling the
people with either extra taxes or to
buv bonds
With the railroads. now so long
not meeting the public needs. from
what reason soever. this ought to be
particularly appealing at this time as
to that kind of public utilities property.
Eventually government ownership of
these public utilities must come, any
way. and this method would be the
logical one at any time. but most es-
pecially now.

WOULD BOOST
ASSESSMENTS
ON RAILROADS
Board Of Equalization Will
be Asked that Assessed
Value be Raised.

Bismarck, N. D.. Aug. 1o.-when
the state board Of equalization holds
its first formal meeting, following the
return of State Auditor Kositzky, who
is junketing about other state capt.
tails. the state tax commission will ask
that the assessed valuation of rail-
ways operating in North Dakota be
boosted ~$9,798,979, about 10 per cent
e the 1915 assessment. The tax
commission would increase the Great
Northern from $20,150,04 to s24,-
the Northern Pacific from
$~16,132,s97 to $21,207,076; the 500
from ~$10.759,145 to $~10,853,776, and
the Milwaukee line from $~2,494,696
to $~3,833,514.
II The tax commission contends that
the 500 and Milwaukee have relative
1y been over-assessed, and therefore
the increase asked in the valuation Of
these railways is comparatively trif-
ling. The state board Of equalization
faces the necessity of increasing the
assessede valuation Of the state about
1925, 100000, it is claimed, and while
the bulk Of this added burden will
fall on farm lands, an effort will be
made to make industry pay its share.
