The Chattanooga Times men
tions a large number of occupa-
tions, connected with army life,
which are outside of killing and
being killed. They are all very
alluring and no doubt we'll paid.
However they failed to mention
surgeons and coffinmakers. Per-
haps in listing carpenters they
meant forthem to make the cheap
collins necessary in which to pack
away American boys after they
are slaughtered.

1t is all right to urge people to
plant foodstuffs in this section,
but when it rains every other day
what can you expect? If the
farmers of this section do not get
a chance to pillow land and plant
crops for the next two months
there will not be much raised in
this section this season. They
are just about six weeks behind
with their work now.

to feed them. 1t is for a few
people in one or two little provin-
ces of Europe who could be NOV
ed to this country for less than
half the expense of feeding them
until the war dogs get thru fight
ing and located on some of the
billions of acres of this country
which are awaiting improvement.
Our idea of humanity seems to be
to involve our own people into
conflict. There never was a truer
saying than Charity begins at
home," and the American people
are needing that charity. 1t
should not be wasted on distant
humane schemes when at home
is the place.
So now we are goingto be treat
ed to accounts of American ships
being blown up in larger numbers
than ever, when a simple order
to observe the German blockade
Just as we have observed the Eng
lish blockade would have kept us
at peace. Young men are now to
be torn from their families, and
trained in the arts of hell, and
possibly returned in pine coffin
or manned and disfigured for life.
This is the way that Christ in
tended is it not? To get the
blood of fellow men on your
hands, forced to do so by bunch
of stay-at-homes, who never
dream that they might answer
the call to arms. is this what
was intended for this world by
the Christ.
The die is cast now, and vain
it is to repine. 1t is one of the
saddest events that ever happen
ed to our country. 1t has been a
distinct shock to millions ofpeace-
loving inhabitants of this land,
who are so patriotic that they
they had much rather see the
land flourish under the arts of
peacel than those of war. Men
and women, who are patriotic,
in that measure, that when they
hear of improvement in any way
from schools to roads. rejoice
thereat, and help in everyway
they can with influence and fin
ance to make the work progress.
This is the real patriotism, not
an insane idea to get out and
1
kill somebody, especially when
no invasion is threatened. The
dose has been applied, and the
effects of the medicine will be
apparent later, and what it will
be God only knows. Let US hope
that the alleged desire to help
humanity will not result in plac.
ing our people in the position in
which the people we are suppos.
ed to help are now. The differ
is not so great, the partition is
very thin. ...

CITIZENS DISCUSSING.

Citizens generally are discus
ing the merits and disadvantages
of the proposed bond issue for
Marion county. Opposition is
developing slowly, for the bill is
so much fairer to the county at
large as compared with previous
bills that it has made friends.
and there are many who dislike
to oppose it because thew do not
wish to oppose any move for adj
yancement of roads in Marion
county.
The following points are COM
ing out, however, and being DIS
cussed:
l. Is the government aid
spoken of an assured fact. Will
it be $15O,OOO, or less. Has the
government that amount to add
to the sumltotal? The appropria-
ton for Tennessee, it is claimed,
is not enough to allow such
large sums to all the counties
now engaged in road work.
9. Three road commissioners
are mentioned by the citizens
for the work of improving Mar
ion S pixies to take the place Of
the present nine, and they are
Messrs. Aycock, of South
Pittsburg, Sherman, of this
city, and Seay, of Whitwell.
These men are the ones wanted.
Will the county court elect these
men in July, or under the direct
ion of it's political bosses, shove
some incompetants into the po-
sition? The people want to get
in on this proposition.
3. An increased mileage OF
road is to be maintained in bet
ter shape than it has been. The
people want to know what it will
cost, and if the upkeep can be
guaranteed. They do not wish
the money expended on roads
that will be allowed to wear out
inca few years.
a. What is the use of bonding
anyway, when the same effect
can be obtained by a direct tax
and thus save interest? Many
people are very tired of paying
an interest exceeding the princi-
pal for roads.
5. What will be the cost of
the fun? County authorities say
the tax rate will approach So on
$1O0. Some of the advocates of
the bill say it will be about $3.50.
the difference being obtained by
raising values to actual cash
value. In view of the limited
agricultural prosperity of this
section, it seems hard to add any
more tax on farms, or on the
small homes of the people.
These are some of the princi-
! pal points now being discussed.
Everybody wants good roads,
but to pay double price for them
with no money for upkeep is get
ing the taxpayers disheartened.
The News would be glad to gel
letters from the people on the
subject, as the matter will be
presented to them for a vote ir
about sixty days.

There is a great cry about rails
ing big crops. If we are not mis-
taken the farmers of this section
try to do so every year but very
often get fooled on the PROPOSE

was never any doubt about the matter.
In fact, Scott's course was clearly in
dicated to his friends more than
year ago when the lola man entered
the race for Il place on the Big -Four
to the Republican national convention.
Scott is regarded as one of the
most able public men in the state.
In the ten years he represented the
Second district in ongress-1901 to
esta blished a nationa,
reputation as a worker and a leader.
He was en- several occasions urged
for appointment to the place as fed

Following the Republican national
convention of 1912, Scott stayed with
the regulars of his party and support
ed Taft for the presidency. In spec
tacu1ar campaign over the chautau-
qua circuit, Scott and Henry j. Allen,
of Wichita, fought over the issues of
the old line Republicans and the new
Progressive party. Allen defended the
cause of Roosevelt and the new party
and the joint debates attracted atten-
ton in a number OF states.

IT'S NEW CHURCH IDEA
Method Bible Classes Combine Enter
tainment With Their Bible Study.

The closing banquet of the 'Tri-
angle" senior and young peoples 81
BILE classes was a genuine innovation
in church and Sunday school circles.
The dinner was held Monday night in
the Sunday school temple of the First
Methodist church.
The whole program was a real en-
tertainment for the members. Glass
yells, rally beans and noise producers
of every description were all there.
It was just like a college celebration.
Each class was pulling for its MEM
bers A program of stunts followed
the dinner Each squad had some
novelty act to present. Judges had been
named and ea ch<class was competing
for a prize. But the judges were all
mixed up and baffled by the variety
of entertainments and were unable
to award the prizes.
The Triangle" meets every Monday
night for a combination program of
Bible work. social entertainment and
literary efforts. The class roll in
cludes 125 names of regular attend
dants. The scheme of combining
social church work and Bible study
has proved more than popular among
the young folks.
Triangle officers are: DIR. H. A.

treasurer; Miss Lima Vesper, SociableS:
