looks like the man who is needed for
the position, and we believe that he
will fiji il in capable and painstak-

the state Legislature from his district,
and during both terms was on the job

himself, rejecting great credit upon
his home county also, as result of

MR.. FORD AND THE SENATE

Ii would be great pity If the
Government were to lose the benefit
Of Henry Ford's skill and ability, as
it would do if he were TO be elected
10 the Senate. Mr.. Ford would have
10 give up all his contracts with the
Government. He would have TO stop
doing all the work he is so well quail
lied 10 do, so qualified above other
men. The law forbids any one inter-
osted in Government contracts from
holding office. Even if Mr. Ford
could find way around the law, pub
He opinion would not tolerate his do
q it; il would be a scandal. 1t is
not ,1nkable that he could put his
interests in some one else's name.
If the Government were to sacrifice
all this for a greater gain, it could
be endured. But there would be no
greater gain to offset it. There would
be no gain at all There would be a
loss Mr.. Ford is a man of lovable
qualities, but there are many men of
lovable qualities who are not qualified
for the United States Senate; and Mr..
Ford is disqualified by possessing a
kind O mind which. no matter how
well he might apply himself to study,
would leave government and politics
sealed book to him all his days. His
entrance into the Senate would create
vacancy both in the Senate and in
the automobile business, and from the
latter Mr.. Ford cannot be spared

a Statewide effort to meet imme-
diate demands for more meat, Ben
ton County will hold a big hog
production rally at Camden on
Friday, January IL, 1918. This

important events that has occurred
in this county since the beginning

This county will have a part in
that work, and the popular gather
ings here on January IL will work
out plans. Farmers, bankers, mer-
chants, teachers, county agents, and
in fact all who are interested in
community development for the
sake of war winning, will be expect
ed to at attend the meeting and take
part.
This effort is being directed by
the State Food Administration,
with which is cooperating the Di-
vision of Extension, the College of
Agriculture, of the University of
Tennessee, the State Council Of
Def nse, the State Department of
AgricultureIand others. Within
the county the Chairman of the
County Council of Defense will
make arrangements.

MODERN CIVILIZATION

There is mighty chasm, in
which the waters of mediaevalism
flow as they rush on toward the.
eternal vale; which chasm stretch
es away in the distance bounded on
this side by the beach of modern
thought and culture and on the
other by the barbayism, we might
say, of the ancient peoples.
Our educators almost all over
the world are tolling the bells that
tell in joyous tones to tue world
the advances of the Present over
the Past. 1t is true that German
imperialism and despotism exist
in Europe. But that does not
mitigate the fact that modern civ
ilization is far superior even to
the pioneers of our country. Be-
sides, the federated heads of our
Government tell us, SO the papers
say, that we are fighting in order
to gain universal peace. If that
be the end and fighting will gain
it, then where there is a lack of
perfect civilization, our rulers
would see it supplied.
Now, let's put aside the question
of German militarism aud take a
Retrospective view of the growth of
nations Take Holland for in
stance. 1t is on record that no
longer ago than 1913 a woman of
that country charged with being
witch was drowned because of it.
Such conditions do not exist to-
day, Is not that an advance in
civilization?
Again, look at the schools of our
own nation. We have buildings
we'll heated and ventilated. Quite
a contrast to the poorly. equipped
log houses where our fathers used
tc study. Of course, the merits of
such men as George Washington,
men who lowered far above their
fellows. But when better general
conditions are brought about all
over the country it ought to be ex-
tolled in the hearts of our country
men.
