Word was received in Lamar last
Friday of the death at his home in
Los Angeles of Mr.. E. T. Lee. 1t was
a great shock to his many relatives

the early day settlers. After retiring

several years one Of the most popular
travelling men Of the Pueblo terri
tory, and later removed TO southern
California where he has since lived

Mckinley and Wilson-lsss and 1917
why" asks the New York Times,
cannot the republicans trust Mr.
Wilson as the democrats and repub-
licans trusted Mr.. Mckinley in 1898"
In 1898 congress was in session.
throughout the active period of hos
tilities with Spain. Mckinley did not
try to run the war single handed and
alone. He did not scorn the cnunsels
Of congress, where he had served
many years and where he knew there
was just as much patriotism and just
AS much good Judgment as in the
White House. He did not take ad-
vice from members Of his own party
alone, nor did he limit his confidence
to one man, irresponsible and without
experience in public affairs. He did
not Withhold information from con-
gress; he did not seek to supplant
congress as the war-making power. He
had himself been a soldier-but that
did not blind him to the fact that he
alone was not justified in taking
blanket authority from congress, in
dismissing that body, and il pursuing
n stumbling course by himself.
Mckinley worked with congress
gress As soon as Mr.. Wilson gives
evidence of good faith toward the
representatives of the people, they in
turn, republicans and democrats alike,
and the people likewise, will trust
him to the extreme. Congress in 1898
responded to Mckinley with patriotic
alacrity because Mckinley dealt with
congress in a spirit of frankness and
good will. Congress in 1917 is un-
responsible to Wilson because he deals
with congress vaguely and in spir-
it of distrust. Whenever Wilson meets
congress as Mckinley did, congress
will trust Wilson as it did Mckinley.

The Maneater.

James Jimpson has a savage
pup, and when it sees a stranger,
1t seems to wish to chew him up,
and put his life in danger. With
smiling eyes James Jilnpson sees
whene'er abroad he sallies, the
people shining up the trees, or
sprinting down the alleys. Some
morning James will call his dog,
and call and whistle vainly; it
will be deader than q log, and
out of business plainly. Some
angry victim OF It's jaws will feed
it deadly bitters, and whoop a.
round with glee because he slew
that worst OF critters. It's
strange how many take delight
in causing grief to Others, who
seem to work, in foolish spite H.
gainst all men and brothers. It's
strange because the man OF sense
must know that course is dotty;
it stirs up hatred most intense,
and causes language naughty.
And why should any fellow wish
to go forth seeking trouble? We
ha%e enough unasked odsfsh!
Why try to make it double? We
have to treat our neighbors we'll,
not on their corns be treading,
or this old world in which we
dwell will furnish rocky shedding.

He Was His Own Grandfather.

1t was in the far and woody
West that a wild-eyed, dissshev.

as an incurable patient at the
door OF a lunatic asylum. The
head physician cast his eyes up
on HIM and marked him as his
own.
"But tell me howit ithappened, ~
said the mild aud affable doctor,
gazing down benignly upon the
applicant.

The patient gazed at the doe

ing as il absorbed in some calcu-
lation about a horsehy up there.
The wild-eyed man went on:
"Then my step-mother, t h e
step-daughter OF my wife, had a

Cuts Out Playing Golf on Sunday.

Cuts Out" Playing Golf on Sunday.
"a bill to prohibit the playing
OF golf on Sunday in the counties
OF Caldwell, Watauga and Avery
was before a Legislative committee
last week and was reported un.
favorably, Senator Cough OF Ro.
beson being the only member OF
the committee who voted for it.
There are golf links at Blowing
Rock and Linville. Rev. Edgar
Tufts, who is in charge of the
Presbyterian school at Banner
Elk, and who serves a number OF
churches in that section, thinks
that Sunday playing is demoral-
izing-that it keeps boys who are
employed as caddies away from
Sunday School and has a bad ef-
feet generally. Mr.. Tufts was
supported in his position by
some of the summer visitors to
Blowing Rock who are interested
in his church work and by citi-
zens, including ladies and girls.
Senator Nelson of Caldwell, who
introduced the bill; Mr.. Carson.
u summer visitor to Blowing
Rock; Representative Coffey OF
Watauga and Senator Braswell
OF Avery champloned the meas
ure. These two latter said they
were for it because they thought
their people wanted it, and all
spoke highly of the great work
done by Mr.. Tufts in that sec
tion. Senators Turner of Iredell
and Linn of Rowan spoke against
the bill. Neither play golf or
other games on Sunday, but az
gued that it was Unfair to pass
such a bill for one section; that
if passed at all it should be state
wide, applying to all games. Sen
ator Turner particularly empha-
sized the difficulty of regulating
by law matters pertaining to
Sabbath observance that are
matters Ofconscience. Some peo-
pie object to automobile riding
on Sunday, some to one thing
and some to another, and it is
impossible to regulate all these
things by law. When such things
become Il disturbance or a nuis.
ance in Il community there is a
remedy under existing law. Mr..
G. V. Henkel of Statesville, who
appeared in behalf of himself and
Others interested in development
at Blowing Rock, and whose
company had established the
golf links there, said that if the
measure was made statewide he
would favor 1t, but he objected
to having it appear that hispeo-
pie at Blowing Rock and Others
in that section were sinners above
all other sinners because a few OF
them played golf on Sunday.
MIR. Henkel doesn't play on Sun
day at Blowing Rock because the
sentiment generally was against
it; that no caddy boys were en-
ployed in Sunday playing and
that the few who played were
not an annoyance to the neigh
bOrs.-Landmark.

Carranza Tries His Hand at an Idsntic.

The de facto government Of
Mexico was fashioned very large.
ly by the hand OF Uncle Sam. AS
our own creature, we are more OF
less proud OF it. We gave Broth
er .,Carranza a standing and a
definite place in the family of Ma
tions, As soon as this was done
the Mexican government, from
it's point OF vantage among the
Nations Of the earth, proceeded
to deliver to the United States a
good curtain lecture on the sub
ject OF peace, with reference to
our duty to mankind and the
principles of humanity. Moreo-
yer, the de facto governmentput
it's lecture in the form of an 'iden-
tlc note.
How like q serpent's tooth is
the sting ofan ungrateful and in
considerate and ungrateful and
disrespectful child. The Mexican
move has occasion hes OCCASION
ed some annoyance, too, il not
embarrassment. Entente diplo-
mats in Washington entertain
the suspicion that the Mexican
enterprise may have been lnspir-
ed by the pernicious German in
terests, a suspicion that is large
ly shared, we are told, by official
Washington.
But; this has nothing in par
ticular to do with the fact that
His Whiskers said some very
good and sensible things. The
head Of our neighbor, the Repub-
lie which we have accorded full
recognition, has a remedyfor the
worlds woes. No doubt he is i'm
pressed with the idea that a Chris
tian civilization is behaving inf
nitely worse than his unlettered
and semi-savage Indians, a view
point not all difficult to compre-
hend. He proposes a league of
Neutrals, allied for the purpose
of upholding, in every way pos
sible, some code of international
law, and the Withholding of mu-
nitions and war supplies from all
the fighting nations that are
guilty OF breaches Of the law.
This, by the way, isno new idea at
all. Millions OF people all over the
world have thought of 1t. As a
matter OF fact most of the neu-
trails have proceeded upon some
such idea as this from the begin
ming of the war, and, instead OF
seeking to turn this great ahlic-
ton OF mankind to financial ac-
count, they have declined to en-
gage in the shell traffic. Most of
the nentral nationscou act ea-
silly upon the Caranza suggestion
since for them it would simply
mean the development of a poll
cy long pursued by them.
Now that tide Mexican govern
ment, as we have hitherto re-
marked, has a fixed place in the
family, Carranza will have to be
answered. Secretary Lansing, it
is believed, will write the answer,
which will be to the general effect
that it would he unneutral for
the United States to withhold
war supplies from the belliger-
ents.
II this course is adopted the
State Department will probably
lay itself open to another deli
cate, diplomatic call-down from
our child. II the Mexican govern
ment has found it possible to
keep it's archives in tact, il it has
found it possible to keep any rec
ords, it Will find among its pa
pers a State Department comml-
nication upon the subject OF EN-
bargoes on munitions, and how
