FOR REAL AMERICANISM

The speech of acceptance of the
Republican nomination for the presi-
dency, delivered last week by Senator
Harding, should strike terror to the
hearts of both the opposition candi-
dates, Governor Cox, Democrat and
Editor Christianson, Socialist.
The document, when published, was
strong appeal for American rights
1t told of a policy of which America
should be proud; it was a warning to
the world that American rights must
be respected.
But perhaps one of the strongest
features of Mr.. Harding's statement
was that the laws of the ma,
ton would be upheld, and this state
ment was direct particularly to the
18th amendment.
The Republican candidate too, call
ed attention to the fact that no one
man was big enough to direct the
policy and government of the United
States. He was straightforward in
his reference to a government by the
people, system which has beer
ignored for the past eight years OF
Democratic rule.
Mr.. Harding's statement was q
direct rebuke to the administration o.
Woodrow Wilson. 1t carried a telling
wallop on the Wilson League of Ma,
lions plan; it means that with the
election of Mr.. Harding in Novembe,
the government will again pass from
the hands of chosen few into the
charge of American people.
Republicans and Americans arr
proud of the stand that Senator
Harding has taken in this campign
His speech was a keynote Of vic
tory for Republicans. 1t was mas
ter-piece which the world must OBJ
serve as a return to Americanism By
Americans.

MAKE RECKLESS DRIVING
EXPENSIVE

AS one watches the reckless and
fast driving of automobiles up and
down the main thoroughfares of
Sank Centre the marvel is that
there is not a large toll of life and
limb exacted of terror stricken
public.
One evening the latter part of last
week, except for the car being in the
hands of an expert driver, an aged
lady would have been killed outright.
The Herald understands that this car
skidded IA feet after the brakes were
applied before the car was brought to
a stop. This happened on the main
street of the city, and the victim
luckily escaped with only minor
bruises.
Many of the auto drivers appear
to be obessed with the idea that they
have the right of way over every
thing else and that the pedestrian is
on the street or crossing at his own
peril. The facts are, of course, that
the law gives the pedestrian the right
of way over all vehicles, the horse
driven vehicle coming next and the
automobile last.
Times almost without number the
mayor of the city has in past years
issued published warning that auto
speedster would be prosecuted, bu!
as far as the Herald has been able
to ascertain none of them have been
brought into court.
Usually stringent legislature does
not follow until a serious or fatal
accident has resulted. Of course
something may happen before the
City Council could enact an ordi-
nance that would be effective. The
Herald has talked to many citizens
relative to the needed legislation ant

system in Tennessee is top l.eavy-
that is everybody but the salaried
school men. Some CT them may know
it. Governor Roberts stated in his
speeches here that he is in favor Of
an eight months scioo, every year
for all tie Children of Tennessee.
Now with three State normal schools
continually asking for appropriations
and the University of Tennessee en-
dowed with a million dollar bond is
sue the higher education of the State
is lavishly provided for. Then if it
is fact that in portions of the State
the children cannot have an elemen-
tary school eight months in the year,
the school system in Tennessee is not
by any means what it ought to be.
Now the suggestion that keeps
forcing itself upon us is whether or
not we receive advantages common
surate with tao cost of higher educa-
ticn in Tennessee and whether or not
this higher education is appreciated
by those to whom it is given.
Going further with the point, if
young men and young women have
not the personal ambition and the
moral courage to educate themselves
for the higher stations of life what
dees it profit the State to keep them
in high schools and universities.
Boiling it down still more, the young
man or young woman who deserves
an education will get thru college
without free high schools and col
leges, and tie others will seldom, if
ever, reflect the advantages that are
offered them.
Therefore isn't it mooted ques-
tiCn, after the State has protected its
people with elementary schools
against illite-acy, whether or not the
free school system should extend to
the higher and more expensive
branches of education; and if this is
s. what good Offices are tc be served
by the educational lobby?
Henry Arthur Jones proceeds as
follows:
1.-THE dominant staring fact that
meets both educational experts and
politicians is the fact that nearly ev-
cry manual worker in tle kingdom is
in angry revolt against his daily job;
does not merely take nc pride in do
ing it well, but hates it, shirks it,
performs it only by the stimulus of
bribery, performs it only as duty
and service to the community, of
whom the immense majority are his
fellow workers
Our masses are wasting the
greater part of their evening leisure
at entertainments that, with rarest
exceptions, may be described as rosy |
twaddle, amiable falsities, crude SEN
sation and, most popular of all,
gaudy exhibitions of undisguised Ii
and imbecile tomfool-

Educational Economy.

Henry Arthur Jones, the distin-
guished Britishcr, facing the labor
conditions in England, makes the
statement that ''only fifteen per cent
mentally capacitated therefor should
receive the benefits of the higher ed
ucation now provided for all who
care to avail themselves Of it,"
Half a million ccal miners are out
on a strike and a general tie-up of
railroads and transportation is also
threatened.
And from this Mr.. Jones makes his
deduction, and this declaration
moves us to say that we have
been mulling the question over for
some time. You remember land it
was not so long ago. the charge was
made that the most powerful politi-
cal lobby in Tennessee was the edu-
cational lobby.

for higher education having both lit
erary and theological departments to
begin with, and it is the purpose of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
to put at least one million dollars
into its endowment. 1t will be the
best investment that Union City ever
made since it will bring a properly
endowed college to the very doors of
its citizens. 1t is not to be merely
a preacher factory but an institution
that will prepare and equip men and
women for all walks of life. With
the location of the college the pub

no doubt go and it may be that 1

Political Treachery.

The League of Nations was the
work of men who are not simply col
lege graduates and those who have
prepared themselves for the ordinary
pursuits and activities of life, but 1t
is an instrument upon which has
been devoted the wisdom of the ages
handed down to the present genera
ton thru accredited human agencies.
1t is an instrument conceived and
wrought by statesmen and scholars,
men who have made the study of his
tory and government life work,
men who have been leaders and rep
resentatives of their respective coun-
tries, actively participating in and
directing their governmental affairs.
Such men have agreed on the League
of Nations and the only protest comes
from the United States, where the
covenant was rejected by that an
cient and august body, the United
States Senate.

understanding what reconstruction

fold more important in meeting the
crises of a world war-understand-
ing what the ordinary human intel
ligence has never realized-met and
formed a League of Nations, not as
a sentimental idea, not as Quixotic
fancy, not to crown themselves with
political glory-but to answer the
human cry for peace, to meet the
direst need of a world torn with
tragedy. This was the mission of the
men of Versailles, the greatest minds
of the age, he leaders of the great
nations of the world. THIS mission
was to counterfeit the untold horrors
of reconstruction. These men under
stood the Importance of the occasion.
They understood what the narrow,
bigoted, provincial minds of the OBJ
jecting Senators were net able to
understand. They understood the
universal conditions ana demands.
They understood what real states
men only, not envious, pig-headed
politicians, could understand.
These men met and formed what
the wisdom of the ages taught them
to be magma charter of the world
and league of peace. They met the
superman needs of the hour. Shall
these objectors who have played false |
to the allies, who have broken their
pledges, who have disgraced their

themselves about with the cloak of !
hypocrisy and selfishness-shall they !
