BoLsHEVIST HYPoCRACY
What They Promised in Russia
and What They Have

In the beginning the Bolshevist.
pretended to be opposed to militar
ism. They were tired of the bloatet
armament which the Car had main
tanned. They purposed to disarm
and set to the world an example o1
disarmament which other nation:
would for very shame be forced tc
| follow.
Yet presently Lenine and Trotzky
transformed all Soviet Russia into
such an armed camp as no Gar had
ever known, and subordinated all
other activities and interests to the
raising or armies and the waging of
wars. And today they are proposing
the establishment of of compulsory
military training, even of young
boys.
In the beginning, the Bolshevists,
with their Soviets, pretended to be
seeking the emancipation Of labor
from the oppressive wage system.
No man should be asked to work
more than eight hours a day, and if
ne preferred not to work at all, ttat
was nobody's business but his own.
Men mad been required to ,<ork too
much, and they purposed to usher in
an era OF increasing leisure.
Forthwith al op.t own Wont
Work army ace aimed the new dis
pensatloH' ana involved it's estab-
lishment ere. But now Trotzky
favors t.W "mobilization" of labor.
under str military discipline, MAX
ing every r.an work whetAer it pleas
es. him OF not, and making the mini
mum working day one ef at least ten
hours. In brief, he proposes uni
versal slave labor.
In the beginning the Bolshevists
pretended to believe in the rule Of
the people. There should be no
more Cars. There should be ne
more personal authority. Every
thing should be done by the people,
through "PeoPle's Commissaries." "
And now Trot9ky declares that Rus
.*ia must have personal rather than
collective administration" and GEN.
tralization of power under a strong
Government. peoples Commissa-
ries are all right, provided always
that he and Lenine and nobody else
are the People.
That is to say, having gained
power and the spoils of power on
platform of anti-militarism, OF free
labor, and of popular sovereignty,
he deliberately repudiates every
plank in it and goes straight in for
militarian., wage slavery, and Car
ism. Crude persons would say that
this is pretty rough stuff.-Harvey's
Weekly.

RAILROAD PROSPECT
Preliminary Survey Being Con-
Quoted to Devil Step Hol-
low Region

VIM. Dunlap, Of Bristol, has been
here for few days spying out a
route for railroad for the Pierpont-
Paxton Company from Crossville to
their 3,000-acre tract of fine timber
in Devil Step hollow, some nine miles
southeast Of Crossville.
Engineer Dunlap has made sever
al hurried lines which are more of
the character of determining the
topography of thee ountry than with
the idea of permanent location. Up
to Saturday night he had run about
six miles of line but was unable to
determine anything of really defin-
ite nature as to the location or max
imum grades.
By the time the Chronicle rasscres
its readers Engineer Dunlap will
very likely have secured such infor-
nation relative to the lay Of the
country as will enable him to deter
mine the most feasible route. Just
what the maximum grades will BE-
will be determined by the expense
and quality of the road that the
company may finally decide to build.
Representatives of the company are
expected here early this week to con-
suit with Engineer Dunlap, after ne
has secured the desired data, and
thereby determine as to the expense
they deem advisable to assume in the
construction Of the road. It is not
known yet even if a road will be
built at all as all depends on the ex-
pense involved. The length of the
line is expected to be about ten
miles
When it is remembered that the
fierpont-Paxton Company have 25
million feet of lumber on their $1,000
acre tract it will be seen that quite
an expense would be justified in road
construction. If built the road will
be standard guage but may have such
heavy grades as will necessitate the
use of side-gear engine that will
climb grades that an ordinary rail-
road engine could not travel over.
A large acreage of the Company's
property is underlaid with coal but
that has not yet been sufficiently in
vestigated to determine if coal de-
vslopment will be justified. At
present all their energies are being
directed to getting the lumber on the
tract on the market. The coal de.
velopment will be considered after
the timber business is gotten we'll un-
der way.
E. P. Melvin is actively directing
the work of locating saw mills, cut
ting logs and constructing a store
building and Office buildings Many
men will be given employment when
the work gets fully under way.
The proposed line will connect
with the Tennessee Central near the
corporation line on the east side of
town.

AN ODiTY INDEED

A certain major in speaking of the
great number of foreign birth who
served under the stars and stripes
made the statement, that in each of
his commands there was large per-
centage over half who were foreign
born and in one battalion he had
one man who could not speak En-
glish and they never did find out
what language he spoke or in what
country he was born, but he made
good soldier.

OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS
A Word To, and in Behalf OF,
The Teacher and His
Problem

Now, while the state school exam
nations are being held, this is tn
time for the prospective teachers t
think of another prospective tes
which they must undergo when the!
enter the school room.
That test is, as to whether theil
influence over the impressionablt
mind of the child in their charge vii
be good, bad or indifferent?
wonder how many have seriously
considered this question, or how
many are entering the life of 6
teacher on the basis of SO many hour:
in the school room for so much mon
ey, regardless as to whether those
hours are all that they should be to
the child, mentally and morally?
Not long ago I read magazine
article which said at is a fact,
however deplorabie, that there are
still parts of the country where cor
poral punishment is the only form of
discipline known in the schools.
wonder how many schools IN
Cumberland county are in this class?
The whipping post, the stocks, the
pillory, placsrding in public and
other forms Of barberisnn, were dis
carded from civil life a century ago !;
yet customs almost as barbaric still
exist in some of our schools.
The teacher whose power of moral
suasion is so low that he or she can
not command and keep the despect
of the child in his or her charge, will
never win this respect, or bring order
out of,chaos, by corporal punishment
or ridicule.
I wonder how many teachers IA
Cumberland county have used the
honor system and have fully ex.
planned to the children all that the
term implies? How many have in-
stilled into the minds of the children
the fact that their. conduct at school
forecasts the kind of men ana wom-
en- they will be later: and that the
self-respecting citizen does MT have
TO be punished to make him ebey the
laws of his country?
Once appeal to child's reason
and let him understand that he ia
obeying the laws of the 5ck9ol be-
cause it is dishonorable an1 dis
grace on himself not to OBEY them,
and the teacher can he assur, / Of 4
successful school.
New a word in behalf of the
teacher:
There are several schools in Cum
berland county, in such is Pomona
included, with sixty or more children
enrolled where only one teacher is
employed. Including the chart class
and up to the eighth grade, there are
about thirty-ive classes each day;
and if the eighth grade is included,
more than forty.
The teacher must hear all these
classes; make all necessary explain
ations; taking time, if she is consci-
entious, to see that each child under
stands; and at the same time keep
order over room of sixty children,
with ages ranging from six to
eighteen.
Any reasonable person can see
that it is not within any humans
capacity to conduct school like
that as one should be conducted.
No man can do the work of two men
without jeopardizing both the sue
cess of the work and both his own
health.
With the impossible demanded of
them, and the pay they receive in re-
turn barely covering their living ex
penses, is it any wonder that so many
teachers have abandoned the school
force for other work?

Buenos Aires, Dec. 20.-Earthquake
shocks which destroyed several towns
along the Argentine slope of the An
des mountains were the most severe
experienced in this country since 1869,
when half the city of Mendoza was
laid in ruins.
Reports from the area where the
shock was heaviest indicate great loss
of life and property, upwards of $50
bodies having already been taken from
the wrecks of buildings.
At Tresportenas more than 100 per-
ished, and at Costa de Araujo 81 were
killed and so seriously injured.
1t is feared that more victims still
are buried under the ruins in each
town. At Tresportenas, Lavalle and
Lacentral, not house was left stand
ing, and those not destroyed We're
left in dnbly damaged condition. No
estimate of the total number of per-
sons injured has yet been made.
Minor shocks continue throughout
the district, one particularly strong
tremor being felt in the towns of San
Martin and Rivadavia. The people
are reported as being panic stricken.
The city of Mendoza was shaken but
did not suffer any extensive damage.
In the town of Costa de Araujo the
seismic convulsion opened great crev-
ices out of which hot water is spout
ing The water from one of these gey-
sers reached height OF about fifteen
feet and formed pool in which two
persons were drowned.
A Red Cross ambulance reached the
village and set to work TO rescue any
sufferers still alive in the ruins.
More than 10000 persons inhabiting
little towns along the eastern Andean
slope, and as reports continue to add
to the long list of casualties, appre-
hension is felt that the final figures
will be very high.
The earth movement during the
tremor was from northwest to south
east, and Il number of small shocks fol-
lowed the principal concussion, which
lasted thirty seconds.
The latest reports from Mendoza
said that the shock at Tresportenas
had assumed tire proportions VI u
catastrophe. Three relief trains have
been rushed to the town, from which
thirty dead and as many dying have
been brought out At Costa de Arau-
10, which was virtually isolated, anoth-
er shock of the most violent character
occurred. AT La Vale terrible scenes
were witnessed. The relief work was
most difficult, owing to the condition
of the roads, which had been broken
up and covered with water. The
church at La Vale was laid in ruins
and the municipal buildings walls
were cracked
