THE P0PE'S SUGGESTION.

LuS NUIlU war Will attract LuG attention
to which a proposal from such a high
source is entitled but that they will
never be carried out as outlined is
very certain. We are quite sure the
allies are not ready to make peace up
on the terms stated by the head Of the
Catholic Church, although the Pontiff
is unquestionably sincere in the protect
he makes.
The Pope speaks for Austria and
Austria speaks for Germany and the
Kaiser And the terms outlined are
not such as will appeal very strongly
&c those who are fighting, not merely
to establish the lines where they were
before the German dechshund started
out upon his mad career They want
more than that, There must be some
assurance that Germany cannot run
amuck again, and there should be some
method Of having the smaller countries
so ruthlessly outraged and ransacked
reimbursed for the damage that has
been done.
All of us will wait with Impotence
for the full text of Pope Benedict's sug-
gestions, but it would appear now that
he has not yet found the key to the pal
ace of peace.
1t is not likely the allied powers will
get the Pope's point of view The
whole world is today in an agony OF
suffering, because. of the ambitions of
a small ruling class who have managed
to dominate the people of Germany and
attach unto themselves certain allies,
who have found no way to break from
the thraldom of serving the German
Emperor and his militarist encourage.
The blight of this wicked outreaching
for power and more power has fallen
upon the most distant lands and the
battle against it is not to be stopped at
this point.
/ What the free peoples of the world
want is the assurance that 70 such out
rage can again be suffered We have
all waded too deep in blood and trag-
cry to turn back until we know that lib
erty and fraternity have been safely
/ secured. Something more than the re
storation of devastated territory is
needed to still the spirit of refusal
which has risen up to deny this audac-
ious group of Teutonic plotters theie
will
The question involved in this war is
not one of European boundary lines
but that of the sacred right of all PEG
pie to liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. This can never be gained by
rolling back the past three years and
iapportioning to each country its form,
or territory.
Reduction Of ornaments, freedom of
the seas, and the assurance CD that
there shall be no retaliatory struggle
after the war for world commercial su-
permacy are regarded as the founda
ton stones of the Pope's plan.
These are high sounding specifca-
tons, but they will never be achieved
by peace proposals.
Let Germany speak for herself and
tell the world and her enemies what
she is willing to offer for peace and
what guarantees and assurances she
can give that peace will not again be
overthrow by assaults upon other ma
tions.-Sayannah Press.

WHAT MAKES MILITARY
SUCCESS.

The qualities that make one
man a military success and anoth-
er man military failure are rath-
err obscure. Some Of the finest
drill-masters West Point ever
turned out have not won out in
actual fighting. They knew the
theory Of war out of books, but
lacked power to command.
On the other hand, there have
been ne 'er do wells who never
succeeded in business, but were
great soldiers. Gen. Grant was
somewhat in this class. He was
failure in business, careless in
money matters, becoming in
volved in debt, until finally his
father took him out of the wet
and gave him job at $15 per
week. It is hard to account for
it. One would think that the
man who was careless in his bus
mess would display in his army
work similar carelessness that
would be ruinous.
Yet the minute Grant got COM
man of body of men he woke up,
displayed a gift for determined
action, followed up with stub
born pertinatcity, and governed
by a far reaching foresight. 1t
seems to take the intensity Of bat
tie to arouse some natures from
their torpor.
For the army men to pick from
the mass of raw material now in
training, the fellows who have
this exceptional gift, is a task
calling for fine discrimination.
The old standards won't count u
these days of trench warfare. II |
will not necessarily be the man |
who can make his company pro-
duce the best appearance in dress !
parade.
A certain habit of positive COM
mand will be large factor. The
officer must have the ring Of an
Ehority in his voice, almost the
note of severity. 1t takes the
spur to urge on the laggards TO
action. Strong and forceful
characters are needed, men with
quick perceptions and common
tense to size up situations. But
perhaps the first quality is the
power for domination, only

MOVE THE SKELETONS.

No farmer would let the skele.
ton Of hog or COW lie around
the house, and yet in travelling
over the South it is amazing t.
see how many other offensive
looking skeletons" are left ly-
ing around. There are skeletons
of dead buggies, wagons, plows,
wheelbarrows, farm buildings,
etc. Just as soon as any farm
machine, vehicle or building is
definitely dead-that is to say, if
it is so broken up that it is not
going to be alive and in actual use
again-every farmer should be
quick to move the SHELTON some
where out Of sight.
Yet it is too often the case that
the hopelessly crippled old buggy
is left in sight till it rots; the
broken moving machine is con-
spicuously in evidence, until it
rusts to pieces; a last years hog
pen is left just as it was when the
opening was made to take the
hogs out, while even a wind
wrecked barn or smokehouse may
be left to disfgure the landscape
and dishearten all beholders for
an indefinite period.
"Mend or end i" should be ev-
cry farmers motto in all such
cases. If the wrecked thing can
be mended, do so quickly; if it
can't, then save the useful pieces,
storing in some suitable place,
and destroy the worthless parts.
The first rainy day let's look
around and see what skeletons
are in evidence on our farms and
make way with them. To have
them lying around is taken by the
passer-by to be an advertisement

Finished.
The story goes that the little
child who found it passed it to
one who became convert to the
Christian faith. He failed TO
have the letter published. He
kept it, however, as sacred me-
mento of Christ and it passed
down to different generations of
his family.
During this period the family
suffered repeated misfortunes,
migrated to different countries
until finally one Of them came to
America, bringing the letter with
them. They settled in Virginia,
then moved further south, still
followed by misfortune when
finally the last member, a daugh-
ter. approached her death bed
and called a neighbor, Mrs.
Thompson, giving her the letter
and related its history for more
than one thousand years. The
Thompson woman began the at
tempt to have it published and it
first appeared in the Rome, Ca,
Tribune on Oct. 81, 1891. It then
appeared in the Dalton, Ca, Cit
izen and Mrs. Workman, now
living in Marion, Ind, clipped
it and kept 1t in her possession
for many years without an effort
to have it published. She was
followed by misfortune which she
attributed to her neglect in try
ing to have the letter published.
Mrs. Ruby Crutchfield of Ire
zavant, Tenn, is also said to have
had copy and failed to make an
effort to have it published for
three years, and was followed by
a varied lot of misfortunes which
she attributed to the fact of her
neglect in this respect.
