HeIium-Another War Wonder

One of the most amazing scientific achievements of the war, and one that will have a tremendous influence on the future of mankind, is the production of noninflammable gas described by A. Russell Bond in Everybody's. Before the war" says Mir. Bond, "helum was one of the rare gases. Its cost per cubic foot ranged from $1500 to s6000 To fill large Zeppelin with helium at even the lowest market price would have cost s3.- 000, 0o0i But then there was not that much helium in captivity, No laboratory in the country could boast of more than five cubic feet.
 The war came to close before the helium-filled airshp had been produced. Some helium had been manufactured, enough to fill some of our observation balloons on the other side But the most as.onighing fact was that our chemists had brought down the cost of n1anufac- ture from $500 to 10 cents per cubic foot, And the prospects are that even this fig ure may be lowered when the $2, ,000, 900 plant, which is to be completed this spring, is operating under full swing Bal loon fabrics have now reached such d stage of perfection that there would not be loss of more than per cent of the buoyancy Of a large airship in a month, and with tanks of compressed helium to make Yp the loss an airship could stay up indefinitely

The municipal election at Camden
and Obion have brought a new phase
to Tennessee politics since equal suf-
frage has been made a law in Ten
nessee. Quite a number of women
voted at Camden. We are not ad-
vised whether or not they voted at
Obion. 1t is presumed not, as the
vote was comparatively small. The
thing we are prompted to say, how
ever, is that those who expect to vote
hereafter in Presidential and munich
pal elections must have their qualifi-
cations. For instance, in towns where
registration is necessary this paper
desires to inform the ladies that they
must have their registration certifi-
Gates. These can be obtained the
next time the registrars meet and
registration is held, notice of which
will appear in the papers. The first
opportunity of enjoying equal suf-
rage here will probably be in the
next Mayor and Aldermen's election
to be held the first Saturday in Jan
uary, 1920. Twenty days before that
time registration must be held and
those who want to vote in that cleo
tion must secure their certificates.

Before leaving last week for New
York City, Mayor Pittman asked ue
to state, for the benefit of the people
of Union City, that he will have
something to say in defense of the
water meter system, now being in
stalled in Union City. We are ad-
vised that the board did not con-
template this step until after some
investigation and mature and imper-
sonal elaboration and that it was not
adopted until safety and economy
seemed to demand it. The Mayor
led us to believe that he would take
up the question of meters in Union
City in a statement to be made next
week and would discuss the question
wholly from a public and economic
viewpoint.

Slandering Washington.

The Father of his Country was one
of the most sagacious of men. Com
mon sense was developed in him, as
in Franklin, to point that amounted
to sort of genius. But some dis
tinguished persons nowadays are try
ing to make him out a blockhead.
A century and a quarter ago the
United States was new, small, weak.
The Atlantic was a great gulf whose
passage required several weeks.
Europe was set of monarchial
states constantly embroiled in the in
trigues of kingcraft and in wars Of
dynastic ambition. Predominantly it
looked with no friendly eye upon re-
publics anywhere. Washington adj
vised his fellow countrymen to let it
alone and avoid entangling them
selves in its greedy broils and wars.
Sounder advice, on the body of facts
which then existed, was never given.
But to infer, as many critics of the
League Of Nations do, that because
Washington advised a given course
to meet given set of facts more than
a century ago he would advise the
same course to meet an entirely diff
ferent set of facts to-day is to imply
that he was one of those rare block
heads who think in vacuum by rule
of thumb. If he had been one of those
blockheads he would have been as
much opposed to American independ-
ence in 1875 as he was two years be-
fore, when the facts were different.
When a nation has just sent two
and a half millions of it's sons to fight
on European battlefields warning it
to eschew the affairs of Europe is a
bout as useful as warning a man who
finds himself in midocean in leaky
boat to stay on dry land. The choice
before us is between throwing our
weight to make those affairs least
dangerous or most dangerous to us.
Washington never in his life gave
/ counsel of cowardice or of that lit !

RECRUITING STATION NOTES.

Ernest E. McAfee, of Kenton, was
examined at the Army Recruiting
Station, this city, last Sunday and
left us as U. s. Infantryman.
One of Mr.. McAfee's brothers has
been in the fighting service for some
time.
There are few more ex-soldiers
that have not received the $4,000
bonus, due all honorably discharged
soldiers. If you haven't applied for
yours, you should go to the Army Re-
cruiting Station, this city, and make
your application at once.
There have been as many as four
applications filed in ono day since the
last issue of this paper, and some of
the boys have already received their
checks,-get yours and buy bond,
it draws no interest until you get
it and put it in circulation.
To the men that are wearing the
overseas uniform, but have not been
overseas:
Here's tip,-you are not fooling
any one,-and some of the men of
the A. E. F. have asked me about
the regulations, concerning the I'M
authorized wearing of the uniform.
There is law against wearing
any decorations or uniform that your
Military Service does not warrant,
and some of the boys that have
'been across" might do something to
embarrass you,-the Same as would
be embarrassed il my Commanding
officer should visit my Station and
find me in the uniform of Major
or Captain.
Hoping the girls don't find that
you are just foolin', am yours truly,

In the controversy between Post
master Burleson and the newspaper
and press associations we are not par
tisan. There are serious inequities
as far as we are able to judge, on
both sides. In the first place Post
master Burleson and his political
cohorts in Washington are trying to
revolutionize the country with Gov
eminent ownership and socialism, and
the consequence is that public service
specifically, railroads and wires), is
going into decay. The way things
are going it will be but short time
until it is actually and totally rotten.
On the other hand the publishers are
fighting selfish battle. There is no
reason at all why the taxpayers
should be burdened with the expense
of carrying New York and San Fran
cisco papers across the continent
when there are papers published in
the accessible zones just as capable
and competent of handling the news
The magazines neither need bounty
to distribute their publications. 1t
is all wrong and all socialism-the
whole business-when sifted down to
facts. For newspapers to set up de-
Tense of democracy is impossible. The
second-class rate of postage was be-
fore the zone system already an ex-
pense and burden to the taxpayers
and there is no use to abuse the priv
ilege At the same time God save
us from the political ruin of Govern
ment ownership and socialism.

For Sheriff.
Opportunity Knocking.

We are this week publishing the
Reelfoot Lake road bill, all except
that part of it which has reference to
the process or formality of issuing
and selling bonds. This is the bill
which was finally passed in lieu of
the bill first proposed by our Senator
and Representatives.
The bill passed and approved by
the Governor provides that Obion
County must guarantee its proportion
of the cost of said road. There is,
however, available from the Federal
road fund for Obion County at pres
ent $4,000, which the State High
way Commission can turn over to the
county when the County Court has
complied with it's part of the con-
tract. We understand that this sum
of $65, 900 is to be increased and may
reach approximately 100000. The
State and county then are expected
to produce the balance of the cost of
said road.
AS seen from the text of the bill
the road is to begin from the Lake
County part of the road at Whites
Landing, running to the Washout
thence around the foot of the lake
and up the east bank to Shaw's Park,
thence to Hornbeak, Troy and Union
City.
1t is estimated, with gravel avail
able in the lake hills, that the road
can be built for $4,000 mile. If
that Is true, then, and the State High
way Commission gets 100000 from
the. Government for Obion County,
the State and county sharing equally
the balance of the cost, our part of
the expense should not be more than
thirty or forty thousand dollars, and
Obion County can well afford twice
that amount for good road thru the
heart of the county.
There is another feature connected
Will LulO mdILcI WHlCu dp-
peal to every citizen who under
stands the ms and outs of public
construction. The bill provides that
the road must be built under Govern
ment specifications. No Government
money can be otherwise secured. This
is to be done in cooperation with the
State Highway Department. That
that no road can be built I'M
less it has the width, grade and other
standard road specifications. No grav-
eled, hard surface can go on a mar
row, old-time winding country road, |
and that is the reason we have always
been afraid of Independent road
building.
Now, will Onion County have this
road? We have already bond issue
of only $4,000, very, very small
matter for a county rich as Obion.
Can't we make this few thousand
more and get real sure enough road.
