The Polk County Republican. (Ducktown, Tenn.) 1914-191?, 1918-03-01

MEN who are favoring no Republican nomi,
INl nations for the Judiciary are not noted
for their loyalty to the party
uAD Republicans been in charge, plans that
III are now in the chrysallis stage would have
been in operation months ago.
TTOW is it that we only have Deficiency Bills "
IL under Democratic Administration, and
always in amounts that are staggering!
THE charge that there are "hogs on Hog ISL
and ought to cause no surprise. SWlll IN
Democratic trough always brings 'em out.
THE Republican party saved the country in
l86l-65, and if it is to be saved for hu-
manity, that party will have to again step into
the breach.
THE Manchester Enc.) Guardian says there is
no limit to what Americans can do. May
he: but there seems to be limit to what few
Democrats can do.
WHILE the masses of labor are prating about
w their Loyalty, it is patent that most OF it
measured bv the number of dollars that can be
extracted in the meantime.
THE need for greater cooperation in the con-
duct of the war has been seen by all ex-
cept those whose business it was to see that we
had in the fullest measure.
WE are just in receipt of the Year Book OF
w the Department of Agriculture for 1918.
True to form, Democracy is doing in 1913 what
should have been done two years ago.
WITH the New York mails one to six days
w late, it looks like Mr.. MCADoo's graspon
the transportation problem has been slde-tracked
in favor of political train of his own.
THE difference between the treatment meted
out to American citizens who evade the
draft and lesser infractions and that given spies,
anarchists, etc., is beginning to attract attention
GENTLE C9 criticism given the Administration
" from various sources has, seemingly, had
more and better effect on the Presidents vision
thpn resulted from all his visits to that Phiadel-
occulist.
TN 1916, the Democratic party handed the
L railroad brotherhoods something like sixty
millions year. Now it will have to find the
wherewith to pay it. Is this the first step toward
reducing the high cost of living?
IS Secretary of the Treasury, M. McADoo is
n engaged in finding the coin whereby MI.
McApoo. Director-Ceneral of railroads, can
raise the wages of railroad men SO that the Po-
Itcal aspiration of Mr.. MCADoo, candidate Tor
President, may be furthered.

IJAD the Democratic party been as true TO tne
Il l. Flag in 1861 as it now tries to be much
could be forgiven and forgotten,
WHEN Mr.. CoMpERs decries the Kaisers
w "unholy lust for power" he ought to take
a squint at what is going on over here @a ~
CPAIN'S feeble protestations against subma-
- rne depredations reminds us OF the day
when those we're our principal stock in trade.
HISTORY may give the President place on
Ill his merits, but not by the side OF WASHING
TON and LINCOLN as is now sought to be DONE
A DEMONSTRATION cuckoos are learning their
n lesson we'll When in doubt, blame 1t on
the railroads is doing duty now. What next!
THIS UNDERWOOD person from Alabama seems
L determined to impress the fact upon the
public that he expects to be around mere III
1920 sa.d
WE sincerely hope the next generation OF Re-
w publican voters will have higher conceP-
ton of what Republcanism means than the
present crop. '..'a 4A -
DEPORTS from that South Pittsburg conven-
IL ton indicate that Polk County Democrats
are as loyal to convention instructions as some
of our alleged Republicans
hid Congress exempt its members from the
- provisions of the income tax from con-
1iction that the money paid them could not be
properly classed as earnings" me- 'a" e
IN 1914. the Democrats made no nomination
for Trustee That year, the Republicans
lost the Sheriff and County Court Clerk. Will
history repeat it itself in 1913? And how!
THE attempt to defy the President and place
a halo upon the brow of Son-in-law Nc
ADoo by lickspittle organs brought from Marse
HENRY WArTERsoN bit of sarcasm as biting as
it was merited.
THE idea of taking the money belonging to
the children of the Fourth Fractional lown-
shin for distribution below the mountains does
not seem to appeal to, Democrats up here any
more than it does to Republicans. oE.. a''.
T TNDER Government ownership, the men who
y would hold the big positions would be
those who couldn't make living in any capacity
which required the use of brains. Plenty OF
Democratic precedent for this statement
WE presume it is the intention of the Demo-
w cratic party to pay the war debt, buy the
railroads and keep all deserving Democrats in
Office out of the excess profits produced by the
Underwood tariff law. Still, it reduced the
cost of living and,kept us out of war!e
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1918-08-01

When the Red Gross Chapter was in-
augurated here IN the spring of 1917 a
ways and means committee Was desig-
mated to, in a large measure, provide
funds for the support of the Chapter,
which on is face, was not an easy mat
ter Of accomplishment
Among other methods of raising
money the committee adopted a sug-
gestion of one Of IT'S members. 1t
started a rlmmage sale. Most Of the
inhabitants of our community have
heard of the financial success thus at
tanned. | am pleased to say that the
ways and means committee and helpers
We're able, by their close attention and
efforts to turn intojthe treasury Of our
Chapter a sum i'm excess Of 81 .U00 for
the work they did during 1917 from the
rummage sale alone, and for the year
of 1918 they are Well along toward an
other Thousand for the same purpose
Ii has of late come to my attention
by anonymous letters and by word of
mouth that the prices that were being
asked for some articles were more than
they should be- which criticism to my
mind is unfounded as Well as unfair.
1t should be borne IN mind by those
who have made such statements that
the rummage sale was not started as Il

for a specific purpose, practically to be
used as a clearing house between per

COMMUNITY
CHORUS TO Be
ORGANIZED
Committee Hopes to Have Great ChO-
rus In Which Every County Pre-
clnct VIII Be Represented For
Labor Day Picnic.

A committee, interested in forming
a community chorus, met at the
Chamber of Commerce Friday after
noon and laid plans for the initial per-
Torrance which will be given at
Beechwood Park, Labor Day.
The following people were appoint
ed to assist with the organization
work and arrange to have the sing
ers of their respective districts. at.
tend the first rehearsal which will be
held next Saturday evening:
Mrs. Jennie Zeigler as chairman of
the county outside Of town; Mr..
Wadsworth Clark as chairman in the
first precinct; Miss Margaret Smith
in the second; Miss Pattie Quaintance
in the third; Miss Mary Wilson in the
fourth; George Royse in the fifth; ].
H. Richardson in the sixth; and Mrs.
Gertrude Fettears as chairman Of the
Eastland neighborhood.
The community chorus is proving a
very POPULAR movement these days
and there is no reason why Mason
county cannot have a community
chorus that will rank among the best.
We have some very good singers and
there is no reason why we should not
have a big chorus of one hundred
voices, ready to help with every pa
triotic endeavor. There is great
deal of work connected with the or
ganizing of chorus and those who
are planning to give us such valu-
able organization, should be COM
mended and receive the support of ev-
cry citizen in the community. If you
are glad that we are to have such an
organization, just say so to all your
friends and 1t will help a great deal.
Encourage every person who sings, to
attend this rehearsal and you will
render a great service to the organi-
cation. This is to be strictly a COM
munlty affair and no partially will be
shown. We are sure that the con-
templated organization will be a
source of much enjoyment and good
to Mason county when It becomes an
active force.

ONE more YOUNG WOMAN
MUST VOLUNTEER
Mason COunty's Quota Of Ten Young
Women For the q. s. Student
Nurse Is still One Short
Committee Hopes to
Secure Several
More.

Up to Saturday Mason county was
still short one young woman of the
quota assigned her for the United
States Student Nurse Reserve. The
county was called upon to furnish
ten young women and SO far only
nine have volunteered.
The campaign seems to have been
very draggy but the women
who are in charge Of the campaign
should feel proud of the splendid
showing thus far made for in some
of the counties of the state which had
even smaller quotas than Mason coun-
ty only two or three young women
have enlisted. In one county,
neighbor to Mason county, where the
quota is but about five there has not
yet been single young woman to Of
fer herself
The women In charge of the Mason
county drive are feeling very much
encouraged and feel certain that in
the next day or two they will secure
their quota and they will then devote
their attention to securing even more
to make up for the backward counties
in the state who have never shown
the same patriotic spirit that Mason
county has always shown.
