Governor Rye's Mistake

Gov. Tom G. Rye has made a
mistake in entering the senatorial
contest. He will make still
greater one if be continues in the
race. Benton county, you might
say, is the home OF the governor,
and Benton county gave to Tom
Rye, in 1916, for governor. more
votes than she gave Woodrow
Wilson for president, and in ordi-
nary times and under ordinary
conditions, for an ordinary office,
he could rally around him his old
time strength, but it is apparent
to even the casual observer that
even his home people and old
friends will fail TO answer his APP
peal for votes in this contest. Be-
cause they believe that it is not to
the interest Of the general public
to dispose of Senator Shields.
The people of this county just
as they do in all other counties of
the state recognize the fact that
Senator Shields is a man of great
ability. They believe that his
long term of service on the SUI
preme bench Of Tennessee and his
FIVE years. experience in the SEN
ate, render him more capable Of
administering the duties of the
great Office he now holds than a
man who has neither judicial nor
legislative experience, and in the
senator's loyalty they hayean abid-
ing faith.
They view with pride-just as
they do all other Tennesseans-
the very remarkable rapidity with
which Senator Shields has during
his first term, reached so promi-
nent a place in the councils of the
nation. They know that as a
member of the committees of iu-
dietary and foreign relations he
has been of valuable assistance to
the president in the framing Of the
great war measures and naturally
think his experience will be of in
calcuable benefit to the country in
supplementing and in executing
the laws.
The people of Benton county
approve Senator Shields staying in
Washington and attending to his
duties and in refusing to be drawn
into personal factionaI discussions

FRIDAY. JULY 10, 1918
CHURCH INDIFFERENCE

vi A6OlA 4AA AAE ANAN ~ ID
One cannot fail to be impressed
with the indifference Of the people
Of Huntingdon toward our church
services. We have great things be-
fore us. Our boys are being taken
across seas to fight for our liber-
ties These personal and religious
liberties and church privileges are
sacred to US, or should be, and we
are in danger of losing them, or
our boys would not be required to
make so great a sacrifice.
One of the great privileges won
by our forefathers in the war of
the revolution was the privilege to
worship God according to the die
tates Of our own conscience. For
ages that privilege was cherished
aud all people felt under a sacred
obligation to attend the house of
God when services were being
held. The best blood of our coun-
try is drenching French soil that
we may maintain that privilege.
Is it worth the sacr6cel Do
we appreciate the mission of the
church enough to make its privi-
liees a part of the great cause for
which the world is sacrificing to-
day. If we do we have a mighty
poor way of showing it.
God is the head Of the church
and He can solve.all problems, but
He expects his church to be alive
and active. There is Bible quo
tation something like this: Woe
to them that go down into Egypt
tor help and stay on horses and
trust in chariots, because they are
many, but look not to the Holy One
of Israel, neither seek the Lord"
In our opinion, people of all
faiths should realize that God
should be taken into the count,
that his house of worship should
become a more sacred spot, and
prayers for the victorious close of
the war and the early return of
our Boys should crowd the throne
Of God. We fear that, before this
war ends, the situation will grow
so serious that many of those who
are now SO careless of their church
obligations and so Indifferent to
the service Of the house of God
will be willing to get down in sack
cloth and ashes and call nightly
for help from the Holy One of
Israel.

jackson style, and they will show
them the American style, which is
a composite of all these and others
1t is we'll that the allies have con-
cluded to turn the Americans loose.
1t is no use to keep a giant in
leading strings. Let the boys have
their way, and they will take care
