the cleanest record. Will his in
fluence in office be exerted for
the law-breaker? Will he pro-
test and shield the juries from
improper influences Do you
want your juries bribed? Do you
want them given drink while
they are celebrating over your
life, your liberty and property?
Do Lincoln county voters place
greater stress upon money than
upon character? Will they sell
their birthright for a mess of
pottage? Vote for the man
whose record is clean.
How does the candidate you
are going to vote for measure
up? How do you stand with re-
spect to a clean government for
Lincoln County?
1t isn't the environment of a
man that controls him. It's
what he is in spite of circum-
stances.
Choose between the two can
didates as you compare the life
record of each and vote from the
high standard of a clean life and
the qualifications of an upright
citizen who is not a politician
nor the son of one,
The growing sentiment in Lin
coin county is against perpetu-
ating office-Rolders from term to
term regardless of the princi-
pies and qualifications of COM
petitors who are worthy of the
suffrage of the people.
Do you believe in giving an
opportunity to a thoroughly
qualified young man or perpetu-
ating in office a chronic office
seeker who wants, it seems, to
forever feed from the public Of
flee trough?

1t was generally observed that all
of the candidates who were defeat
ed took their failure to land in the
second primary with extremely good
grace.
THAT
Two per cent beer is causing a lot
Of discussion, but it isn't attracting
any more attention than some of the
two per cent bathing suits the girls
are wearing at the city beaches.
THAT
The reason the President is not
going to make speaking tour of this
section is because the folks here
might ask him why he killed the re-
peal of the daylight saving clause.
He sure did spill the beans" in the
farming communities on this subject.
THAT
Being bachelor may have its dis
advantages, but the chap who has to
keep an auto, garden, a wife, a
lawn, talking machine, an automo-
tic piano and a couple of lodge mem
berships all going at the same time
hasn't any soft Job, either.
THAT
One candidate for county office,
on election night, taking his defeat
with good grace, jocularly remarked
that he was going to advertise for the
name of the one lone voter who
marked his ticket in favor Of the de-
feated one at a certain voting pre-
cinct. This candidate said he want
ed to get closer acquainted with this
man SO he could be his lifelong
friend.

Good roads are one of the greatest
economic factors in accelerating pros
perity and reducing the high cost of
living, but, in the excess enthusiasm
of the moment, some highway off-
cials are prone to build roads that
look good on paper and issue speci-
fications hurriedly in order to ret
roads built. Roads are a necessity.

Everything turns out well in the

will not be too much to pay if Amer

and know something about it as cit
liens of other nations do. The aver
age American has confined his poll

get ready for work the coming term.
Very respectfully yours,

Demand Stirring
For Naturalization
(By United Press

LONDON, by Mail. )-Nationali-
cation! This is the great cry of Brit
ish labor, whose consistent and con-
tinual demand of shorter hours and
increased wages is taxing the
strength of the British government
to its utmost,
Labor leaders declare it is the only
solution of British labor unrest.
And not only do they dmand ma
tionalization of all natural monopo-
lies, but they demand an equal share
of lite management.
To support their demand for par
ticopation in the management, they
point to the position of the post of
flee workers, who, they declare, are
middle class and care more for the
looks of their fnger-nails and the
wilderness of their cuffs" than they
do about hours and wages.
The above is from a statement
made to the United Press by Robert
Williams, head of the British Trans
port Workers Federation, having a
membership of three hunder thou
sand.
post office employees lack morale.
They haven't interest in thir work be-
cause they think they are satisfied"

Commission Form
OF Government For
Johnson City


JOHNSON CITY, Tenn, May 7.
BY vote of nearly two to one,
Johnson City today at the polls APP
proved the adoption of commission
form of government. The final re-
suits were 244 for commission form
and 100 against.
The election was held to deter
mine if the present city charter
should be amended and the govern
ing body made up of three paid of
ticials to succeed the present board
of mayor and aldermen. The vote
was comparatively light and may be
taken as an expression of the senti-
ment of the largest property owners
and tax payers who were almost
unanimously in favor of the adop-
ton of the commission form plan.

NEW YORK, May 7.-One thou

Germany, sailed today for Brest on
the steamship Agamemnon. These
volunteers, the first of $4,000 volun-

have been in action may have the
privilege of an early return home,
are mostly under the age of thirty
years and have been recruited within
the past six weeks in the middle and

in service in camps in America when
the armistice was signed and are on

industry would have resumed anC
Bolshevism would have been kept gu
of western Europe.
"The close of the war,found nearly
all the belligerents in a state of Fl
nancial collapse. In four years En-
gland spent all her excess wealth &C
cumulated during 500 years of com
merce. France and Italy are finan,
cially exhausted. Only the United
States and Japan are able to finance
reconstruction on their own account
"How are these financially broken
countries to rehabilitate themselves?
There is not enough money in the
world to Immediately meet the debt
under which Europe is staggering.
Germany is ruined and cannot at
once pay an enormous indemnity
though she can and must do so even
tually. Besides, to attempt to strip
her bare at once would force her in
to Bolshevism and end all chance of
her paying anything.
$50 the powers must help Germany.
They must loan her money, not be-
cause they pity her or condone her
crimes, but because they must loan
if they expect ever to get large in
demnity from her. Germany is the
international tramp-a tramp who
owes much money, but has no food,
no business, no job. Before the
tramp's creditors can hope for pay
ment, they must provide the tramp
with work, time to meet his debts
and the opportunity to earn money.
$50 it is with Germany. 1t is nee
essary to provide her an opportuni-
ty to resume her industry, to rehabil-
ltate her commerce---to ggt on her
feet.
"To raise funds for such an un-
1ertaking, a world loan seems essen
tial. This would be for about TWEEN
ty-fve billion dollars. Let us say
England takes 20 per cent, the
United States 20 per cent. France,
italy and Germany large shares and
the other powers smaller amounts.
'This money put into central
'und administered by the League of
Nations, could be loaned to various
powers to enable them to pay their
