National league left off-with a

hotel. Much less talk and slightly
improved action is expected to come
from the younger major league.
Connie Mack, manager of the
Philadelphia Athletics is expected to
have something to say when the
league finishes it's session. Most
folks seem to think Connie will have
real surprise for baseball fans. He
has yet to announce what players he
will demand from the Red Sox in
return for Stuffy McInnis, and in
addition he is expected to give pub
licity to some other deals. These,
it is declared, have been completed
and only await announcement from
the sad faced leader of the sadder
Philadelphians.

Resolutions.

At a call meeting of the Bar AS
ISOLATION of Obion County held pur-
suant to call on April 5, 1918, in
the Chancery Court room at the
courthouse in Union City. Tenn, the
following resolutions were unani-
mous1y adopted:
Whereas, the Hon. Colin P. Nc
Kinney has presided over the Chan
Gerry Court of Obion County, Union
City, Tenn, for the past eight years,
and is now the Democratic nominee
for the office of Justice of the Su-
preme Court; and
Whereas, we, the members of the
Obion County bar, practicing in the
Chancery Court of Obion County
have observed the uniform courtesy
of our distinguished Chancellor,
coupled with his dispatch of bust
ness and impartiality in dealing out
even-handed justice to both litigants
and solicitors, and his marked abili-
ty in applying the law to the facts
in each case.
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Obion County bar assembled that we
hereby express our deep apprecia-
tion to the distinguished Chancellor
for his patience, fairness and cour-
tesy in the dispatch of the business
brought into his court, and our ap-
probation also of his profound learn
ing in the law, and we ask that this
resolution be spread upon the min
utes of the Chancery Court of Obion
County, as a permanent memorial
of our esteem of the Hon. Colin P.
Mckinney.
"Be it further resolved that while
we regret very much to lose the
services of the Hon. Colin P. McKin-
ney as Chancellor, yet we commend
him to the people of Tennessee as
one learned in the law and whose
devotion to the truth
eminently qualities him for the posi-
ton of Justice of the Supreme Court
of Tennessee.
BE it further resolved that we
request the Clerk and Master of the
Chancery Court to furnish a copy of |
this resolution to the local papers,
also a copy to the distinguished |

thing-and the least important
thing. The Government must have
it, but the individual who holds il
back is boarding something that will
profit him little unless Prussian
militarism is crushed for all time.
1t was no holiday war upon which
the United States entered a year
ago to-day. The American people
are facing one of the great crises of
all history. and whenever their Gov
eminent calls they must respond
without hesitation or their cause is
lost
This is the decisive year. 1t may
not bring victory. but it will de-
termine whether victory is possible.
1t will determine whether this mon
ster of militarism, this "intolerable
thing" as President Wilson has
called it, can be crushed. 1t will de-
termine whether democracy can sue
coed in "the eliminating and final
war for human liberty" If it can
not, the world must remain an arm
ed camp thruout the lifetime of all
this generation.
Thus far the great resources of
the United States have hardly been
touched. The American people have
known none of the sacrifices that
are now part of the routine existence
of the French and the British. They
have given out of their abundance,
but that abundance is still over
whelming. Nowhere else in the
world have people suffered so little
from the effects of this war as in
the United States, although it is a
year to-day since Congress formally
declared that state of war existed
with Germany.
1t is not enough that this Third
Loan should be subscribed.
1t must be oversubscribcd. 1t must
be more than a revelation of the un-
touched financial resources of the
country. 1t must be a reinsurance ,
to the war-worn French and British
that they are to lack for nothing
that we can bring them. 1t must be
a new expression of public confidence
and public determination. 1t must |
be new demonstration of the mind |
and purpose of the American people |
10 see this war thru to the end, cost |
what it may.

Change of Time.

The Government had purpose il
setting the timepieces forward one
hour and many of us have been very
slow to understand the importance
of it. The idea is to utilize as much
daylight as possible and save the
cost of coal necessary for the genera
tion of light. We are expected to
open our business houses an hour
earlier. We are to begin work an
hour earlier. ALI this is done to
save coal. 1t takes coal to generate
electric light, and tho Government
is now allowing us to take our full
quote of coal for home consumption
next winter. In return for this we
are asked to use daylight for our
work. We are expected to hold even
ing church services an hour earlier.
jIf we arc truly patriotic the social
calendar is to be governed by this
change. The use of daylight for
social functions is requested.
Now then, since the order has
been promulgated, it becomes us to
be governed by it, and in doing so
we should have the cooperation of
every kind of business. If we come
down town early we should find the
other places also open so that there
be no hindrances in business. If we
want shave, the barber shop should
be open. If we want a plow point,
the hardware store should be open.
If we want some gasoline, the deal
er should be at his post. If we want
some dry goods, the store should be
open. If we want some groceries
(there is very little trouble on this
point here) we should be able to
get them. If we want some medi-
cine, the drug stores should be open.
In other words, the order for chang
ing the time cannot be altogether
effective unless everybody observes
it. Because one business depends
upon another, and they should all
together be open early.
Cooperation has been the watch
word for years. Now, of all times it
is needed. Every effort should be
made to cooperate with the Govern
ment in it's work of preparedness
and everything that leads up to it.
There may be much that we feel
like criticising in this work, but,
Notwithstanding, nothing, good or
indifferent, can be effective without
a concert of action-without COM
plete support.
The necessity for this is seen at
a glance by taking look at the
Western front. The condition of
Russia is enough to awaken us to
our duty.
