Moreover, it is impossible to fore
see the expenses involved in the army
arrangements pending the conclusion
Of peace and the establishing Of order
in Russia and other ravaged coun-
tries; even conccivably including
Germany. In that country, moreover.
there is apparently state of semi
bankruptcy. though the natural re-
sources and the industry OF the pco-
pie promise ultimate prosperity.
Hence it seems probable that Ger
many'S financial reparation must be
aided by the Allies in the shape of
providing foreign credits and enabling
Germany to make rcmittanccs abroad.
Otherwise the German exchange
would be- unable TO stand the strain
The Basis of Prosperity.
According to opinion here, it is un-
likely that Government restrictions in
your country or in Europe will be re-
Taxed for some time Otherwise it
will be impossible satisfactorily to
organize both the military and finan-
cial rehabilitation But, in spite of
the compleXity of the peace problems,
there is felt general and justified
optimism because the result of the
war means complete triumph for
those principles which are the true
foundation of the credit system.
While the war involved huge losses,
it has set in motion forces which will
ultimately bring unprecedented pros
pcrity of worldwide character.
This should be especially the case in
America, which is about to experience
extraordinary demands for foodstuirS
and raw materials and in the field of
finance.

PROSPERITY

London Expects Unprecedented
Era When Problems of Recon-
structiOn are Settled

New York, Nov. 25th.-A London
cable message to the Evening Post
says:
Rejoicing over the accomplishment
Of satisfactory peace is tempered
by the belief that the real cost Of the
war. which must be little short of
100000, 100000, will now be felt. II is
not believed that there will be any
immediate material decrease in Gov
eminent outlay, apart from actual
munitions. Our original budget csti-
mates of war expenditure to the end
of the fiscal year. next March, will be
fully justified, especially if to the cost
Of rehabilitation there be added war
bonuses and pensions. Even the dis
banding Of the munition workers will
be costly, for il is impossible to turn
them suddenly adrift.

THE SENATORIAL RACE.

1t is not the purpose of The
Partisan in this article to abuse
Gov. Rye nor Gen. Gates, but to
simply make some comment on
their entry into the Senatorial
race at such a critical period as
this. It is said that there is a
time for all things" and this is
undoubtedly a time when politics
should be adjourned" and the
best efforts of every citizen be
aimed in some way towards help
ing win the war. 1t is our sim
cere opinion, and that of quite a
number of people of this county

tics be adjourned" then why
should anyone fail to back him
up in this as much as other
things he has asked? Senator
Shields is needed in the Senate
as he can better serve the in
terests of this country now than
any other man in Tennessee,
who has tor might offer for the
seat. Senator Shields is an able
man, a man whose opinion on
any question of law is accepted
as authority, and in our opinion
it would be very consoling to
Germany if we were to defeat
such man as Senator Shields

RYE'S ANNOUNCEMENT

Gov. Rye's announcement of
his candidacy for the United
States senatorship puts a new
phase on that especial feature
OF the political situation, but is
not an event likely to alter the
primary result. 1t affords no
reason why Senator Shields
should not be returned to the
place he has so ably filled with
eminent credit both to himself
and to the state.
The President has said that
politics is adjourned" and he
evidently desires that the Con-
gress he now insists should now
devote itself to the important
work the war now imposes, be
not disturbed by the personal
turmoil and personal scrambles
for office that usually character
ize the biennial election periods.
Certainly there should be no
such disturbance for any light
reason and there are no reasons
for changing the senatorship in
Tennessee, outside of the politics
the President says lis adjourn
ed" and the personal ambitions
some gentlemen may entertain
and are not willing to suppress
for patriotic requirement.
Gov. Rye's announce ment, it
is believed, will be followed by
the withdrawal of Hon. Charles
7. Gates, whose candidacy failed
to awaken the response expect
ed and was "queered" from the
start by the manner of support
given it by the Nashville Ten
nesseean and American.
There is no difference in prin-
ciple, so far as the Banner is
able to discern, between Senator
Shields and Gov. Rye. Both are
war Democrats with clear re-
cords so far as this paper knows.
Senator Shields having been
from the first in the limelight
that a place in the Senate i'm
poses, this paper can speak by
the card in regard to him. 1t
has no sort of doubt of the en-
tire patriotism of Gov. Rye.
Gov. Rye in his brief announce
ment gives no indication of his
standing on any national issue
and as he has never been in
Federal politics and is a man
notably -committal in most
matters, the public must guess
and take on faitn his position in
that respect.
In his announcement the Gov
ernor seems to consider that he
is answering the call of the vox
populi. Wiser and more exper-
fenced ears have suffered such

delusion only to find later, as a
Tennessee candidate, tradition
says, once on a time calculated
when the votes had been count
ed, my God, the people are in
the minority!!'
The race, the Banner takes it,
will be on the personal qualifi-
cations of the candidates, there
is no issue of principle. The in
ventions of Senator Shields ene-
mics are too easily oyerthrown to
impress the public. The Banner
doesn't hesitate to say that it
regards Senator Shields as much
the better qualified man. In a
merely personal contest he
should, if for no other reason,
be reelected as a matter of
courtesy and endorsement, as
Gov. Rye was given a second
term in the state executive Of
flee.
The Banner has absolutely no
personal feeling against Gov.
Rye. He is an amiable man of
good intentions and limited ac-
tivity who does not awaken
strong antagonisms. His char
acter and temperament are de-
cidedly passave inclined to easy
methods and procrastination. He
can be credited with a more
sensitive conscience than the
average politician and usually
does what he believes to be
right if he makes up his mind
to do at all. AS man and a
citizen the Banner respects the
Governor and has found no SER
ious cause of quarrel with his
public career, though for sins of
omission rather than commits
sion, for negative rather than
positive reasons, his admins
tration of the Governors office
has been by no means above
criticism.
Gov. Rye has kept the faith
in the promise he made respect
ing the enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws. He had his re-
ward for this in his election to
a second term in the Governors
office. In other respects, espec-
tally the fiscal affairs of the
state, the Governor has been far
from strong, but it is not intend
ed here to go into any detailed
criticism of his administration.
The Banner does not consider
that Gov. Rye would show to
any advantage in the United
States Senate, 1t sees no sort
of reason for displacing Senator
Shields to put him there. 1t is
a generally acknowledged fact,
one that the record makes clear,
that Senator Shields has front
rank at Washington. He is one
of the Senate heavyweights "a
lawyer of great ability, a man
of high character and one whose
opinion on any question carries
much weight. Few first-term
Senators have attained to such
high rank.
1t is a good policy for a state
that has a good man in the Sen
ate to keep him there. The

state when he would have shown
a far more patriotic spirit had he
nursed his political ambitions
until after this dreadful war
was over; and as to Gen. Gates,
ne absolutely has no strength in
this county. The United States
is in a great struggle, one which
will decide the future destiny of
this country. Tennessee is one
of the greatest states in the
Union and is doing as much as
any and more than many in pro-
portion 10 her size. Her people
are as patriotic as can be found
on the face of the earth and the
Government is looking to us to
