An ERICA REJECTS
IA T PROP0, Al: Of
POPE BENEDICT
WOULD BE FOLLY TO TAKE
PATH OF PEACE, He
POINTS.
ENDURING PEACE DESIRED
Object OF This War Is To Deliver
Free Peoples Of World From Menace
Of Militarism of irresponsible Gov
ernment.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson has rejected the popes
peace proposals.
In note dispatched Monday night,
and made public here last night, the
President says that while every heart
not blinded and hardened by the terri
BILE war must be touched by the NOV
ing appeal of his holiness, it would be
folly to take the path of peace he
points out if it does not in fact lead to
the goal he proposes.
The text of the American reply to
the peace proposal of Pope Benedict
follows:
To His Holiness, Benedict XIV, Pope
'In acknowledgment of the com.
munication of your holiness to the bel.
ligerent peoples, dated August l, 1917,
the President of the United States re.
quests me to transmit the following
reply:
EVERY heart that has not been
blinded and hardened by this terrible
war must be touched by the moving
appeal of His Holiness, the Pope;
must feel the dignity and force of the
humane and generous motives which
prompted it, anil must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he so persuasively points out. But il
would be folly to take it if it does not
in fact lead to the goal he proposes
Our response must be based upon the
stern facts and upon nothing else. 1t
is not a mere cessation of arms he
desires; it is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again, and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment what
will. insure us against it.
His Holiness in substance pro
poses that we return to the status
quo ante bellum, and that then there
be a general conformation, disarma'
ment and a concert of nations based
upon an acceptance of the principle
of arbitration: that by similar con
cert freedom of the seas be estab-
lisl,ed; and that the territorial claims
of France and Italy, the perplexing
problems of the Balkan states, and
the restitution of Poland be left to
such conciliatory adjustments as may
be possible of the peoples whose polit-
ical fortunes and affiliations will be
involved.
at is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante furnishes a firm and salts
factory basis for it, The object Of
this war is to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace and the
actual power of vast military estab-
iishment controlled by an irresponsi-
bic government which, having secretly
planned to dominate the world, pro-
aeeded to carry the plan out without
regard either to the sacred obligations
of treaty or the long established prac

COUNTY DEMO GRAFT c
COMMITTEE CALLED
MEET SEPTEMBER 8
CHAIRMAN WHlTTHORNE RE-
sPoNDs TO PETITION OF PROS.
PEcTlvE CANDIDATES.
WANT An EARLY PRIM RI
Opposition To Movement May Develop
When Committee Meets to Consider
Proposition--Majority Of Candidates
Favor Movement.

The Maury County Democratic
Executive committee was called today
by Chairman w. C. Whitthorne to
meet Saturday, September 8, for the
purpose of considering whether or not
a primary shall be called this year to
nominate candidates for county Offices
and if the primary is called to set the
time for it. ..aa..
Activity on the part of prospective
/ candidates for various Offices, who
yesterday presented to Chairman
Whitthorne a petition asking that the
primary be called early this fall be,
fore the bad weather of winter begins,
prompted the call. The petition asked
that the committee meeting be held
on the First Monday in September,
but Chairman Whitthorne felt that
Saturday, the eighth, would be more
suitable day for it. A full attendance
of the committeeman is urged as this
will be matter of much import to
the welfare of the party. No proxies
will be allowed.
i 1t is advocated by the prospective
candidates that an early primary this
year would enable them to avoid a
! campaign during the bad weather OF
winter and at the same time settle
the question of nominating so that
there would be no agitation of county
politics for nearly year. The peti
tion for primary was signed by a
dozen or more prospective candidates
Divergent Opinions.
Comment on the streets regarding
the proposed early primary is of a
divergent trend While many persons
favor the primary this fall, there are
some who think that it would be I'M
wise from the standpoint of party
welfare to hold the primary so early
They claim that it would be a viola
tion of all precedent, no primary, in
recent years at least having ever
been held earlier than February pre-
ceding the regular election. Those
of this opinion also hold that with the
democratic nominees determined so
far ahead of the time for the regular
election, the republicans would be
given abundant time to organize and
form alliances with persons who failed
TO enter the primary.
Evidently both sides of the ques-
ton are going to be advocated before
the controlling board of the party's
affairs when it convenes on Septem-
Der s, and it is a safe prediction that
whatever is done by the executive
committee will be with a view to the
welfare of the party. At present the
advocates of an early primary appar
emily have an advantage in the situa-
tion and their wishes may be acceded
70 by the committee. But some of the
prospective candidates may change
their views before the committee
meets and in that event there will be
spirited contest over the PROPOSE

ANNUAL COLT DAY
NO SPECIAL PROGRAM PREPARED
FOR THE OCCASION AS
HERETOFORE.
An old ESTABLISHED CUSTOM
Streets Will Be Filled With Mules
And Horses of all kinds-Many Buy
ers From South and Other Sections
Here.

For more than fifty years the first
Monday in September has been desig-
mated as Mule Colt Day in Columbia.
Up to the present time there has been
much made of the day, but owing to
the big corn show and stock show
days to be held in October under the
auspices of the county demonstration
agents, the first Monday in Septem-
ber has been neglected.
1t is question as to the advisable
ty of this. An old custom of many
years standing so unceremoniously
discarded is apt to work a detriment
to the county, but however the mule
colts will be here next Monday, and
/ the buyers will be here. There will be
no blaring of trumpets, and no parade,
but the old custom will be just the
same. Court square, the streets lead
ing into court square will be a seath
t ing mass of colts, mules and horses
of all kinds.
Buyers will be here from all over
the south and as far north as Ken
lucky. Not only will there be buyers
here for mule colts and horse colts
but there will be buyers here for cat
tie of all kinds. Columbia is a ready
market for all kinds of live stock an(

ducing only the best has reached tt
