PASSED US BY.

A fourth candidate Tor foater
has appeared in the person of
John Scheidegger, of Franklin
county, a republican. Charge
has been made that he is a Ger
man, but that is not 80, as he is
a Swiss by birth. and the people
of Switzerland who settled in this
country are recognized as most
excellent people.
The News has been expecting
q visit from Mr.. Scheidegger, but
he has not yet appeared in our
sanctum. We have seen all the
other candidates, and thought we
were worthy of a visit from him,
also, but probably he thinks we
are German sympathizers-as do
some misguided peuple-and
thought it wouldn't do, politi-
cally, to call on US.
Mr.. Scheidegger is slightly Wis
ionary about schools and dog laws
and woman's suffrage. The re-
Publican platform has always de
clared for woman's suffrage, and
she should be accorded the right
to vote according to the provis
ions of the Vermont law, which
says if she holds real estate, she
shall have the right of suffrage.
This is plain justice to women.
The only successful dog law we
know of is the shotgun to work
on ours attacking sheep. AS to
schools, when the population
grown in the country remains in
the country, then we will have
good schools and not till then.
Just now the country is merely a
nursery for the city because of
the tendency to centralize wealth
and manufactures to the cities.
Mr.. Scheidegger says nothing
about the bond question for Mar
ion county, whether he is for or
against it, or will give the people
the right to vote on the question,
nor does he say anything about
returning Marion to political
freedom by according it repre-
sentative. However, as a re-
publican it is expected he would
work for this last point. although
he would probably not get it, as
our political freedom. taken a.
way bv a democrat will have to
be restored by the magnanimity
of some democrat.

THOU SHALT NOT STEAL

From 300 to 400 families of
this county. we have a firm con
viction, are regular borrowers of
the News, and are reading the
matter contained in it without
paying a cent. This hits both us
and the subscriber, for it de-
frauds us of money, which if we
had, we could use to make the
paper better and more interest
ing. The subscriptions of 300 to
400 families is just the difference
to us between a good paper well
supported. and the best we can
manage to put out one badly
supported.
This borrowing feature is dis
tasteful also to our subscribers,
who world like to read the pa
per themselves, after paying for
it. We have had subscribers
discontinue taking the News for
the simple reason they could not
get to read a paper which they
themselves paid for.
We nope our subscribers will
fatty refuse the borrowers. Tell
them to subscribe for themselves
and not depend on thieving from
a newspaper the product of the
brain, time and capital of its
proprietors.

Tennessee today enters upon the
last half of the campaign Of the Amer
lean Committee for Relief in the Near
East for 100000 from this state and
$30,000,000 from all the states in the
Union.
This drive is conducted for the pur-
rose of obtaining funds for the saving
OF the lives of millions Of such pitiful
individuals as this picture shows. Hun
dreds of thousands of lettering men,
old before their time because of the
suffering they have undergone at the
hands of the Turks during the war
are dying daily.
Men young in years, but Old in ahil-
ity, women and the little children, of
the Western Asiatic countries are
pleading. begging, praying that Ten
nessee and America would not let
them starye They have nothing. They
know America has much. Tennessee
must not fail. The Volunteer State is
recognized as one that never has fall

He has no one to help him. No one

buzzards hate him. They flap their
wings angrily and rush at him with
fury as he reaches out to grasp a
handful of decaying animal flesh that
he may have moisture in his mouth, NO
matter how foul, just so he can reach
yonder relief station.

Yes, it is horrible. 1t is more terri

Tennessee's relief fund be delayed BY

TO CORRECT AN EVIL.

The County Court acted wisely
when it authorized the passage
of an act requiring the county

standing, and for how much. 1t
is a known fact, however, that
some districts are largely over
drawn, and that more warrants
are expected to appear from these
overdrawn districts
The following is the resolution:
Whereas. it appears to the
C,unty Court of Marion County,
Tennessee, that The County
Judge, as financial agent of the
County, hasn't sufficient authority
under the law to properly keep
account of and supervision over
certain of the County Funds, to
wit: Common School Fund,
High School Fund, Road Fund,
Pike Fund am, Bridge Fund.
having no way to keep check OF
these funds except by copying
the Trustees record of cancelled
warrants, and.
Whereas, it further appears
that the County Judge, as such
financial agent, is held account
able to this Court and to the peo-
pie OF Marion County for the ex-
pendltures of al County Funds
and that the above named funds
can be expended and overdrawn
without the knowledge of the
County Judge, under the present
system, and,
Whereas, we sincerely believe
that our State Senator, Hon. w.
NJ Cameron, is willing, able and
and anxious to do all in his DOW
err for the hetterment of the
County and its people;
Therefore, Be it resolved by
the County Court of Marion
County, Tennessee, assembled in
regular session for the January
1919, That we r1ost respectfully
petition out STATE Senator. Hon.
w. NJ. Cameron, TO prepare and
have passed at the present ses-
Of the Legislature an Act pro-
viding that all County Warrants
for all funds drawn on the Coun-

Pleasure in
Common Things

We have had big snow this
week. In fact, the ground has
not been clear of snow since Jan.
liz. | was inclined to feel grouchy
when | saw the snow was stay
ing for | had planned a cornstalk
cutting campaign for the week,
but away with sour complaints
and grouches. There is One
who is all wise Who sends the
weather. If we had anything
to do with it, bad matters would
be worse So l just determined
in the outset to thoroughly enjoy
every inch of the snow, Iand |
have. We have coasted on the
slope at the north side of the
cabin until there has been al
most shield of ice there. Then
there has been snow cream, thai
all who have eaten any can testi-
fly to its goodness, We do not
see very much snow and it is a
treatlif any one will just try to
enjoy it and not complain. Peo-
pie are inclined to worry 100
much over trifles anyway.
Things of the least Importance
can be brooded over and magni-
fed until they become the pro-
verbal mountain made IF a mole
hill.
| am not the most amiable per-
son in the world nor an example
to be followed, for domy share
of nursing petty grievances and
excusing self. But there is a
remedy for all these things. We
all know the good old sayings
our ancestors have handed down
to US, namely: Think twice be-
fore speaking, and "bite the
tongue rather than utter harsh
and angry words. If everyone
would do that, strife and bitter
feelings would soon be a past
thing, for words are sharper
than swords. I"
There's always room for i'm
provement. Homes can be made
happier. A happy home is the
goal of mortal ambition, and
next to a good character is the
greatest thing one can gain in
this life. That is what We are
all striving for, both now and
hereafter.
Good deeds and kind words go
farther than money in making
true happiness. Money is not
the only factor to be considered
in building a happy home. OF
course, money is of paramount
Importance. for there can be no
real happiness where poverty is,
but there must be a sense of rest,
security. reverence and unity EN-
bodied in the one word to make
home,
am just beginning to realize
what home means and to love
the name of it. Children do
not know, they cannot appre-
ciate things until they grow up.
Now, | do not mean to convey
the idea that am suddenly be-
coming mature in years, for |

ture age for me. Sometime |
