Spetiai 10 the MtaUs.
Esteemed editor and readers,
am trying again to pick up a few
items that may be of interest tc
some of the many readers who
may read it.
The busy time has come again
for farmers and gardeners.
Tuesday Invent down to see my
daughter, Mrs. j. G. Payne.
passed thru some of the best
truck farming country to be
found anywhere, and everybody
is busy planting and preparing to
plant large crops. All kinds of
vegetable seeds and seedpotatoes
are very high priced, but that is
not holding people back. Every
one seems to think they just have
to have them, and one hears but
little complaint. Lots of things
are up now and looking fine.
On a little further south wheat
and oats look fine. Lots of corn
is being planted this week. The
peach trees are in full bloom. 1t
rather puts new life in one to get
out and see everything looking so
well. and everyone trying to do
something to help along.
received a letter Thursday
morning telling me of the sick
ness of Sam H. Bracken, of Es-
till Springs, Tenn. He is getting
pretty old now and it may go
pretty hard with him. Sam is
about 70 years of age. If / was
able to stand the trip, | would go
to see him, but | hardly think
that it would be advisable to try
it. | will think it over and get
advice, and the first of next week
if he does not get better may at
tempt to go. He has many rela-
tues and friends in Sequatchie
Valley. But the old ones are go
ing, one by one, and soon will all
be numbered with the past. All
we can do is to be ready when
the summons come.
| am glad to see the correspon-
dents getting in line. hope we
will have some good, newsy let
ters from them this spring.
AS | am feeling rather poorly,
/ will close and hope to do better
next time. l wish all the great
est of happiness and prosperity.
AS ever, Lone Star.

ICES his announcement this week

Foreign Secretary 8aIfour Says Brit,
ish Will Not Consider Such
Proceeding.

London, Oct. 24.-"Under no cir
cumstances is it consistent with the
safety, security and unity of the Brit
ish Empire that the German colonies
should be returned" declared Foreign
Secretary Balfour, speaking at a
luncheon in the Australian and New
Zealand club.
Mr.. Balfour said it was absolutely
essential that the Communications of
the British Empire should remain SAFE
He asked if the German colonies were
returned what security was there that
their original possessors would not use
them as bases for piratical warfare.
The doctrine that the colonies should
not be returned, Mr.. RalfOur claimed,
was not selfish and ilnperia1istic 1t
was one in which the interests of the
world were almost as much concerned
as the interests of the empire itself.
If the empire was to remain united
it was absolutely necessary that CON-
munication between the various parts
should not be at the mercy of an un.
scrupulOus power

ternal situation III Germany, and that
complete dismer berment OF the Ger

ment when the Entente Allies are
bound more solidly together.
1t is not surprising, the dispatch
adds, to find the German people alone
in imploring their own. salvation.
'ln three weeks" it says, Ger
many's allies have fallen under NOR
tai blows of the armies Of our Allies
and the iron logic of President Wilson.
That the last of the three fall mortal

every equivocation. The German gov
eminent, while accepting Wilson's de;
mands, along with a tardy defense Of
it's own crime, has shown it's teeth for
the last time.''
It is said to be the unanimous
thought of the Italian people that the

APPROVES PRINCE
MAX'S STATEMENT
RElCHSTAG ADOPTS RESOLUTION
AFTER INDUCING IN
BRIEF DEBATE.
LONDON PAPERS SKEPTICAl
Standard Sums Up Press Comment on
German Chancellor's Address by
Saying "There Is Much vaaue
Talk, but Nothing EIse."

London, Oct. "a. - The German
re1chstag, after short debate, adopt
ed unanimously resolution APPROX
ing the statement made to it by Prince
Maxlmllian, the chancellor, according
to an Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from Amsterdam. The resolution also
expressed confidence in the new chan
cell0r.
The opinion Of the London news
papers on the speech of Prince Maxi
milan before the reichstag is summed
up in this comment by the Evening
Standard:
There is much vague talk, but
nothing else.
Constitutional Reform-Maybe..
Copenhagen, Oct. "a. - Light upon
Germany's claims for constitutional
REFORM" by which the people would
rule is shown in Prince Maxinlilian's
speech before the reichstag. II de-
velops that the constitutional reform.
by which the people OF Germany them
selves are to have the sole power Of
declaring war or peace, will be made
when the League OF Nations shall
have been established.
This naive admission on the part of
the chancellor. to whom was directed
the task of conducting Germany's
peace offensive through conmunica-
tons to President Wilson,, is at abso-
lutte variance with the reports on the
constitutional reforms made by the
German press and implied in Berlin's
last communication to President Will
son.
The chancellor merely made the an
nouncement that q bill would be intro
duced making the reichstag respon-
sible for war and peace, the measure
to become effective when the League
Of Nations project shall have been &C.
complished.
Prince Says Crisis at Hand.
Peace conversations between Berlin
and Washington have reached a crit
lcal point. according to the prince. In
the course of his address he urged that
debate on the situation arising. in ex-
change Of notes between himself and
President Wilson be restricted as
much as possible.

The Wadena Pioneer-Journal attempts
to palliate Burnquist IS appointment of

Of the state labor department. This is
disingenuous, 20 say the least. any
one familiar with the politico-appoin

appointment of even the humblest hang

he delivered himself Of this sentiment
after America had entered the conflict
and before he was appointed to state
office.

"What the people OF Minnesota de-

least dotbt Of this. Had Wheaton been
governor during the days following oar
decision to defend the national honor
there would have been no ''aloofness'

Minnesota today would on doubt be
more definitely and decisivcly American.
We doubt that he would have found it

the right Of public assembly within the
