DOING FINE SERVICE.

Charles T. Gates, Jr., has been rem.
dering some effective service to the
nation In the Liberty Loan drive. He
has spoken number of times in all
sections Of Tennessee and has al
ways been heard by large audiences.
Gen. Gates is strong and forceful
speaker. He Is an intense patriot,
and from the very beginning OF the
war in August 1914, felt that Amer
ica's participation in 1t was newt
able. He was intensely pro ally from
the beginning and had little patience
with those selfish individuals who
sought to keep the nation out of the
war on the ground that its business
interests might suffer through an
appreciation Of its duty to humanity
and realization of its obligations to
the principles that gave 1t birth.
Gen. Gates will probably begin his
campaign for the senate soon and
when he does the people of the state
will hear one Of the finest orators and
best students of governmental affairs
who has appeared on the hustings in
recent years. Gates was born to the
forum. He has striking personal
ity; a splendid vocabulary; all earn
est and impressive delivery. He will
not only instruct but ne will entertain.

SUGGESTS PRAYER LEAGUE
DR.. w. T. uSSERY WOULD MAKE
effective DAILY RINGING
OF PRAYER BELL.

To the Herald:
. In accordance with the counsel and
approval of the minister's association
propose the following religious work
in our town, and bespeak the hearty
assistance of every loyal Christian. 1t
is now known that our city bell
strikes at high twelve" for prayer.
We are requested and admonished
thereby to offer at least a fugitive
prayer for the soldier boys and the
triumph of righteousness. Now, to
chrystalize and develop this solemn
derge'' into a more tangible and ef-
fective phase, is the object of this
move.
l suggest, therefore, that we call
this combination, The Columbia
Prayer League" and that anyone may
become a member thereof by promis-
ing to observe the demands of the
bell" and permit their names to be
inserted once in public print.
Persons desiring prayers for their
soldier sons or brothers should give
their names to me.
Now, this is not merely a nominal
affair, and yet it is not doubled and
twisted organization encountered with
multitudinous details and specifica-
tons. Neither does II require any
time, labor, nor money. but II pros
ecuted sincerely, and faithfully fos-
tered. 1t may and will result in much
(spiritual) good. What do you say?
Now with unflickering faith in our
"faithful Cod, and His Columbia peo-
pie submit the above-asking every
praying person that will join. to send
names to Herald OF phone to me on
Citizen 270. l intend personally to
perambulate the prayer meetings and
town generally, but let no one wait
for anything, but act at once in good
faith; for 1t Is said that at Is too
late to pray when the devil comes"
but maybe we can defeat him.
IF there's a time when Satan yields
In dart and deep despair.

kneels
Within the tower OF prayer"
Resist the devil and he viii free

AFTER THE SLAckERS

AFTER THE SLAckERS
The board of mayor and aldermen
are on the right track in their pur-
pose to enact an ordinance that will
compel every ablebodied man in Co
lumbia to be able to show evidence
that he Is regularly engaged in some
useful occupation. Columbia has not
yet been confronted with disas-
trous labor shortage and the farms
round about this city are not yet suf-
fering as much as In some sections
from lack of man power. But that
is no reason why we should 60 to
sleep with the thought that this short.
age is not going to come upon US. 1t
is but another Of the many blessings
that we are permitted to enjoy.
Preparedness" has become the
slogan Of Americans everywhere. The
war has taught us that the way to
avoid difficulties is to prepare in ad-
vance to meet them. The patriots of
Maury county are ready to undergo
any hardship and to make any sacri.
flee to help win the war, but they are
not willing to do these things while a
few no-account, contemplate idlers
shuttle about the streets and loaf
around their fav0rite haunts doing
nothing either to compensate for the
food they consume and the clothes
they wear or to help in any of the
numerous activities that mean so
much in putting the nation on max
imum basis of production for winning
the war.
The Herald has been commenting
mildly for some time on the need of
more stringent regulations of slack
ers from work. What this paper has
had to say has been more in the way
OF admonition than of condemnation,
but the time is coming quickly when
we cannot refrain from expressing
more vigorously the sentiment of the
public on this subject of labor slack.
ing. and We propose to see to it that
II the city administration needs any
publicity to help the officials put into
operation and enforce an ordinance
against idhng and vagrancy this pa
per will be at their service. We have
published honor rolls of all kinds,
names Of subscribers to various war
funds. Liberty Bonds. signers OF
pledges for war service, and the
names Of those heroic young men who
are going out from week to week to
don the uniform of their country and
face the fire of the enemy in defense
of their homes and the liberties of
their people. It won't be amiss now
to begin the publication of few dis.
honor rolls bearing he names of
those who have failed to do any of
those things that are essential to sue
cess in the war. The proposed city
ordinance will make such list avail
able.
The honest, the Industrious, the pa
triotic will have nothing to fear from
this ordinance. 1t canot be made too
drastic. No law that will ferret out
the slackers, who are but one class
Of traitors, can carry a penalty too
heavy. No one who is honestly do.
ing all that he can do for himself and
for his country will have any misgiv.
ings about the effect of such a law.
The others should be rounded up and
put to work under guard. The Jail
would be too comfortable for their lazy
carcasses. 1t would be unneighborly
to drive them into some other com.
munity.
We commend the city council upon
its plan and entertain the hope that
the passage Of the ordinance will be
not long delayed.
