At Greenwood Park.
Nashville, Tenn, July S.-The Ma
rooms won a double-header from the
Swifths today. The first game was a
good and well-played game by both
the Maroons and the Swifts ALSO
The Swifts took the lead on the
Maroons and led them to the seventh
inning, when Hall threw wild to Cole
and pass ball by Cole allowed Brit
ton to cross the home plate, the Ma
rooms winning to 3.
The second contest was not played
out on account of the strike of the
McGraw bunch who could not agree
to finish the contest and then I'm
pire Grady announced to the fans
the game would go to the Maroons
8 to 0. Come out on next Sunday,
July 18th, and see the champion
Black Sox and the hard hitting Ma
tionals in a double-header. Both
teams are in good condition and you
will enjoy yourselves. Stratton and
McGavock are back and will be seen
in the Sox lineup with big VIM. Frye
on the first corner as doorkeeper.

THE raising of the tax levy OF Polk Gounly
to $2.4O again illustrates the way Demo-
cratic promises are carried out.
DEMOCRATIC energy in voting sick men IN

THE sinking of another American vessel Dut

WHAT blessing that redistricting bill has
w proven to the taxpayers OF Polk County
They are now permitted to pay more taxes than
ever before and the end is not yet.
DY THIS time, it would seem that Mr.. BRYAN
- would let the gentle fact penetrate his
supposedly classical dome that the American
people are not with him on any proposition
THAT resolution by the Tennessee Legislature

hardly be of interest to Congress, as that body

TN case of war, can you imagine WOODROW

did the President of France or as would Col.

LNOR patriotic reasons, the great St. Louis

CTEP LIVELY! A Democratic County Court
- has placed upon you a tax levy of $40,
with, possibly, more to come.
IF WE have to buy everybody's friendship-as
is proposed in the case of Colombia-where
is the taxpayer going to get off?
TT THE military victories won by the United
States in the past few years do not impress
Germany with our prowess, what will!
THE Presidents policy of not doing today
what he chooses to put off indefinitely will
probably not work well in case of war;
DR. HUGH BLACK says: "Indicision is the
II peril of the hour" Some say about four
years and one month would state it better.
MIR. BRYAN'S fear that some are for war for
lVl financial gain may be superinduccd by the
fear that none will be left for the chautauquas.
THE personnel of that tariff commission shows
the ratio of Democratic Snon-partisanhip -
five free traders and one lukewarm Republican.
MIR. CRAYSON will come about as near fill
lI ing the shoes of the late GEORGE DEWEY
as Woodrow WILSON docs those of the lamented
LINCOLN.
GAYS the Denver Rocky Mountain News:
- DANIELS orders submarine chasers built for
delivery in sixty days." Why didn't he order
them sixty days ago?
T OVAL Republicans having no rights that the

bound to respect, all they want to know is who
this bunch is for in 1913.
THE grand stand plays made by the Prcsi-
dent in the past four years have been
unique, but future historians may not be SO
charitable in naming them.
IF ALL of the Presidents actions in the way
of preparedness have been along the same
lines of efficiency as that of the appointment of
Rear Admiral CRAYsoN, the country is safe.
WHAT has become of those Democratic cam

that the Underwood tariff was bringing in
enough revenue TO pay expenses? Most OF
them are in the lame duck" class.

lose no time in answering
WHEN red tape-of which Mr.. DANIELS is
w such an exponent-can close the mouth OF
man like Rear Admiral FIsKE, either the red
tape or the Secretary should be canned.
WOULDN'T it be just as we'll for the County

meeting the existing deficit instead OF spending
the peoples money to light the streets OF
Benton?
DOTH Senators STONE, of Missouri, and HITCH

cater to the German element of their respective
States than to uphold the honor of Old Glory.
ROus NIT 'cm
WHEN the Cincinnati TimesStar says that the
w word cpaci6st is only polite way OF de-
scribing motley array of cranks, dreamers and
traitors to the United States, we do not think it
overstated the case.
WHILE it is not contended that a revolution
w is the best means of changing govern
ments, vet one can not help wishing that little
more common sense could be displayed when
change is made in this country.
THAT Benton attorney who paraded up and
4 down the depot platform at Etowah, telling
how he was going over to Nashville to have the
Ducktown Law Court abolished has probably
come to the conclusion that his intentions had
come in contact with U-boat.
CONSIDERING that the Tennessee Power Co.
~ has as much money invested in Pelk
COUNTY as either the D. S., C. & |. or the Ten

cal reason why it should be assessed at less
han one-sixth of what these companies pay on!

The Strike Settlement.

The settlement of the railroad
strike is marked by two distinct
phases; victory for the brother
hoods and the fact that the plea of
the President for patriotism was
heard and needed by the railroad
managers.
The strength of the union is made
doubly apparent because of the fact
that their victory came before the de-
cision of the Supreme Court was an
nounced on the Adamson eight-hour
lava decision which settles the
matter finally. But the position of the
brotherhoods in the matter becomes
an embarrassing one by the very de-
cisiveness of their victory. Memory
will always credit them with using an
International crisis needless1y, to at
tain their ends. a.
There is little doubt but that there
was considerable pressure brought to
bear upon the railroads in order to
avert the strike. and that the enor-
nous profits which they are receiv-

The Press in Berlin.

When the news from Russia rang
through Germany, the Socialist organ
Vorwaerts in Berlin propounded the
following query to the government:
Shall the world say that all the
nations on earth are free except Ger
many"
The Socialist leader in the Reich
stag, Philip Scheidemann, followed
this up by these significant words in
the same journal:
at does not require many words to
explain why almost all the whole
world is arrayed against US. The an
swer is given quickly. The world
sees among our enemies more or less
developed forms of democracy, and
in US it sees only Prussians. We have
always answered by referring to the
absolutism of Russia, but now Car
ism is gone and the Emperor's sue
cessor is to accept the throne only
if the representatives of the people
agree"
To realize the significance of these
words it is necessary to know that
the Socialists are the largest and
most powerful single political unit in
Germany. They bear no relation at
all to the comparatively undeveloped
socialism that is known in the United
States. When newspaper like Vor-
waerts gives utterance to sentiments
like these, despite the rigid censor
ship, it means something. Ruthless
suppression of such opinion would be
seen under normal conditions, but
not now.
The whole internal situation in
Germany has changed within a week.
The amazing upheaval in Russia has
influenced it profoundly. A new light
is breaking through the bonds Of
Prussianism. Within a few months,
perhaps-well, we shall see what we
shall see.
