WHY HESITATE9

Why de so many of our people
hesitate when it comes to doing
things for the warY If our sol
der boys deliberated as long over
doing their duty as some Of our
people at home hesitate over doing
their duty the victory for which
so many are hoping, praying and
laboring, would be in great doubt.
When it comes to doing things
to aid the war, to help make more
baarable the sacrifice being made
BY our soldier boys, there should
be no hesitation upon the part Of
any American citizen.
Every American who econo-
mics in consumption Of materials,
who increases production, who
saves and lends savings to the gov
eminent, does something to win
the war.
Every person who contributes
to the Red Cross or 70 the Y. NJ.
9. A. helps to make life more
home-Iike on the field Of battle
and in the camps, and does a part
in caring for the sick, bringing
the wounded back to health and in
many ways ameliorating the con-
ditions of the soldier boys as they
sacrifice for US and for our liber-
ties
We should not hesitate in the
of our duties along
these lines.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

Thursday of next week the dem
ocratic primary will be held. This
is an important election and one
that should command the earnest
attention of every democrat in the
county.
Candidates are to be nominated
from a United States senator down
to members of tile legislature.
State committeeman are also to be
named. This is every democrats
opportunity of saying directly who
bis choice is for the various Of
fees to be filed BY the November
election.
Go to the polls, vote your choice.
If a mistake is made the respon-
sibiliry rests upon the people, the
individual members Of the demo-
cratic party. Vote for the candi-
date you honestly believe will make
the best officer and do the most
for his country in these trying
times, and you will have done
your full duty.
A primary should be held in
every district. Officers have been
named, they will be paid for their
services and they should not hest
tate to act. There should be a
full vote, and every democrat
should do his full dnty.

edict against her was: Sci
FISH"
A man went drunken with his
boon companions, grudging his
wife or his mother or his children
a kindly word while they ground
the mill Of household cares and
eked out bare existence And,
Oh, the Recording Angels face
was hard as granite as he wrote the
fataistic letters: SELFISH"
And the day wore on and the
flying pen never stopped, and the
record was made for eternity. And
ever and always it was the same
thing over and over, for selfish
ness eats down into the heart of
man as a moth frets a garment,
and the wool of truth and helpful
ness is frayed away. Everywhere
it shows itself-in the carelessly
withheld word Of praise, the ne
elected opportunity to lend a lift
ing hand; the sheer of lip; the
shrug of naughty shoulders; the
cold stare; the snobbish "cut;" the
unpaid for service; the grinding Of
the faces Of helpless workers; the
unshared toll of toll; tile starving
of souls that have the right of
succor.
All of these are written close on
that scroll that gives up its record
only at the judgment day. And
BY that record will we stand or
fall when the judge shall pass his
sentence for the endless years.
Deep into our hearts let US look
this day, searching our souls for
the faintest flaw that may widen
under the angels gaze into the
blot that sears the world with pain
and sin. For out of selfshness
comes pain and tragedy and crime
unbelievable.
And few, indeed, are the names
it does not follow ia that sorrow
full list. And those that bear not
its blemish be they yours or the
beggra's in the street are as
golden texts that shine forever as
jewels in the crown of peace.

ROBERTS SPEAKS HERE
Makes Fine Impression Upon those
Who Heart Him


Judge A. +. Roberts spoke to
small audience here last Saturday
night. He made fine impression
upon those who heard him, and we
believe his visit here made him a
number Of votes. He was introduced
BY q ~ Watson, Mayor Of Hunting
don.
Judge Roberts reviewed his early
life and tod Of his work as chancellor
and the actions that lea to his an
nouncement for governor He said
the race was between him and Mr..
Peay; that Mr.. Shropshire could not
be elected if no one else was running,
that the scattering vote would beat
Shropshire.
Judge Roberts declared that he was
for prohibition and other law en-
forcement laws now OH the statute
books Of the state, and that if elect
ed they would be enforced to the ex-
tent of his ability in city and country
alike. He advocated many reform
measures to meet the financial condi-
tons in Tennessee. Some Of them
were to make the Tennessee Indus
trial School, the Tennessee Reform
School for Boys and state mining de-
partment self-sustaining. TO CONSOLE
date the Offices of the state which ex-
famine the books of the various depart
Iments of state and county offices with
the state banking department and re-
duce the expenses of the state in
this particular; that he would recon-
mend an increase in inheritance taxes
SO as to make large estates that have
escaped proper taxation pay their pro
portional part of taxes. He said he
was for retaining the present appro-
priation made by the state for public
schools and Confederate pensions, ana
if he was elected he would see that
the old Confederate soldier was not
left to suffer from want in his last
days.
Judge Roberts discussed at great
length the remedy offered by Mr..
Peay for the financial conditions, and
said that Mr.. Peay had announced
that it would not do for him to state
his position, for if he did he would
lose votes. He said he was not
afraid to state his opinion, and if
the crowd he intended to cut loose
from their jobs wanted to fight him
they could do so. He ridiculed Mr..
Peay's position Of fixing tax rate by
executive proclamation. He said
King George could not do that, and
this was democratic government,
and that one man did not fix tax rates
in Tennessee. He referred to the
present war and the duty Of each
citizen in this time to help win the
war and stand BY President Wilson,
declaring he was the greatest presi-
dent we had ever had and that he
believed that the great Father Of all
was directing him at this time.
Judge Roberts had made two or
three speeches Saturday before reach

About John K. Shields

In view Of the developments
some Of which have been brought
right home to US here in Henry
county Senator John X. Shields
does not deserve and should not get
a single vote in Henry county from
the red-blood patriotic citizens and
voters who favor the application
of the draft laws without discrim-
nation.
Il has been proven by actual
correspondence on file and pro-
duced, that Senator Shields has
aided "slackers;" that he has used
senatorial influence to circumvent
the draft act; and that be has aided
and abetted sons of wealthy men
and influential politicians within
the military draft age, in securing
places of safety beyond range Of
German guns.
Several hundred Henry county
boys have gone to war With a
f,w exceptions they accepted tie
provisions of the draft laws and
proceeded to comply with them
without a murmur. These boys,
most of them, have left behind
them fathers and brothers who are
voters in Henry county.
Under the circumstances there
is not one of these said fathers and
brothers that should vote for Sen
ator Shields, because be has dis
eliminated against them because
he has used his senatorial cloak
and the usual prestige that goes
with such an official position to Sc
cure discrimination against them.
1t is nothing more nor less than
a crime against the very purport
and analysis Of the draft laws a
discrimination that was never in
tended, the laws were drafted to
place the rich mans son and the
poor mans son and the farmers
son on the same military basis.
Any father or brother in Henry
county who has son in the army.
who was indicted under the draft
laws, certainly cannot have the pro-
per regard for bis son or brother
if be votes for Shields. Paris

OMINATE STRONG MEN

OMINATE STRONG MEN
Every den ocrat has a right to
vote bis choice for a member Of
congress in the primary next week,
His personal choice, however, may
be for one candidate when his bet
ter Judgment, everything consid-
cred, would indicate that the cleo
tion Of another candidate would be
better for the country. In this in
stance be should not fail to vote
for bis country.
Tremendous interests and inter-
national problems will come before
the next congress. Great respon-
sibilities will rest upon that con-
gress, and every democrat who
casts vote in the primary next
Thursday should make sure that
he is doing bis full duty toward
selecting men best able to meet
thearesponsibilities. The country
should send its best and most
thoroughly equipped men to con-
gress this year.
The country is facing a great
crisis and this crisis should be met
by men Of high standard Of vision,
balanced judgment, sound com
mon sense and broad legislative
experience. They should be in
sympathy with Mr. Wilson and
his efforts to win the war, and
their past records should stand as
an evidence Of these facts.

BABY BONDsn POPULAR

Taken as whole the people Of this
country have not been nation of
savers. True there are large saving
bank figures, and building and loan
associations can make good showing.
Then there are other institutions for
the savings and thousands have turn
ed to life insurance. A few years ago
the government instituted the postal
savings bank scheme. But taken as
whole the depositors of all represent
ed but a small per cent of the popu-
lation of the country.
Then take the war savings stamp
move. Though it was instituted to
secure for the government $4,000
100000 for war purposes, and to
gather that amount from the small
savers, it did not meet with the res
ponse that it should have done on the
part Of the small savers. Instead Of
their taking advantage Of the oppor-
tunity, the government has had to
urge men to go out and make an
appeal for the sale Of the stamps.
But the war savings stamp scheme
has been a great thing for the nation.
It is turning thousands to saving,
tina never saved a nickel before.
Whether or not the entire proposed
issue Of thrift and war savings stamps
were pledged in the recent drive by
the registrants in the deferred classes
has not yet been made public. But
if they did not, it is likely the entire
amount will be sold long before the
year is up.
There has been nothing made pub
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1918-07-26

lie as to whether this savings stamp
sale win be repeated next year or
not. But it is likely it will. Whether
the war comes to an end next fall or
not, the government will have large
expenses to meet for months after
it closes, and one of the best modes
Of meeting that expense would be
through the war savings stamps.
They promote thrift and it will
probably be easier to sell second
issue Of these stamps than it has
been to dispose of this issue. The
people, because of the war are turn
ing to matters of thrift. Greenfield

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN

from his high place to see what be

was to set down, on his endless
scroll, the wonder words Of com

through the day and the dusk.
And as he looked be saw ID
myrid places the same dark blot,
and in the sorrow Of his heart he
knew it was the thing unpardon-
able, and his hand trenbled as he
wrote.
A man, wealthy beyond his needs,
held on to the earnings of bis cor
poration, paying the men who
made his gold starvation wages,
cheating them of their honest due.
