CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE OR :?

Commenting upon the two articles in these
columns yesterday and Friday, which repro
duced from the columns of the Memphis CONNER
cial-AEpeal, Mr.. F. G. Emery, who has returned but
recently from Europe, Informed "The Oasis" that
within few weeks he has seen stacked up in the
battle fields Of France thousands of tons of pro-
visions that the American army had gone away and
left behind without any effort to for them and
he remarked that he was informed that he had seen
only part of what was there
In gathering all that great volume of supplies
the Service of Supply of the United States army
made remarkable record for efficiency and
thoroughness. What has become of that efficiency
and horoughness that those vast quantities of SUBJ
siStence should be left neglected in that way when
the whole world is pinched for foodstuff? Is is
criminal negligence or what is it? Would it inter-
fere with the robbery perpetrated upon the public
by profteers should all the supplies described by Mr..
Emery be salvaged and put upon the market?
Reading Of such things, hearing Of such things,
when he is simply driven distracted to find subsist
ence for himself and family, is sufficient to drive
into Bolshevikism the mildest and most placid cti-
zen.
Theodore Roosevelt is credited with having told
Edward Hartman that it was such men as he who
made Anarchists. And men who perpetrate such
criminal negligence as Mr.. Emery relates, daily
making Bosheviks by scores and hundreds
It is related that one of the most eXtravagant
and unprincpled Of Kings of France, with con-
temptible cyncism, speaking Of the indifference of
his nobility to the sufferings of the people, said
"After us the deluge" That "the deluge'> came we

Parents of this community cannot
take too much interest in our public

to just let things rock along, trusting
to the teacher to do that which should

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

England is building the biggest
fleet of war planes in the world, and
borrows the money from America with
which to do it. France is making
desperate efforts to rehabilitate her
self now both economically and from
a military STANDPOINT, and she borrow
ed from America in order to do it.
Italy and the other nations are doing
the same, and they borrowed the
money from America in order to do it.
There has been much borrowing and
very little paying back. In time,
if the world blows up again, we may
see the results Of generosity turned
against US in the shape of hostile
army, unless we have a navy and an
air force of sufficient strength to
keep them away. Our money is over
there, and We cannot get it. But the
material for an adequate army and
navy and air force is here, and we
should get it. The getting would be
comparatively easy now, but the
Lord only knows what it will be I;
we sit and twiddle our thumbs until
we need it in hurry.
The mighty have fallen, and they
nave fallen hard. In Austria and
Hungary the nobility are in desper-
ate financial straits, literally paup-
arized, many Of them, not knowing

Summerfeld Dec. 10, 1919
To the Editor of Mrs. Grundy
Tracy City Tenn.
Will yoW please be kind
enough to publish the following
letter to the public:
have just finished reading an
article published in Mrs. Grundy
Of Jan. l, entitled "Bloody Muir
der at Summerlield." We have
lived in Summerfield for more
than six years, during that time
we have grown to love the COM
munity, and to feel very much
at home. With only very few
exceptions We have been most
kindly and ,courteously treated
by the entire neighborEood.
People who have visited us
from other parts of the country
have been astonished that we
'. leave our windows open and
doors unlocked, and that all leave
home with no fear of finding any
thing disturbed when we return.
1t has been a matter of pride
to US that we have had such
neiehbors Last year when our
little community was In the
midst of the fearful epedemic
which took the lives of some of
our dearest ones. / being q

more lives could be saved.
The situation was heart break

babies were starving for the care
which their parents were too i'll
to give them.
Just when the situation seemed
hopeless: There came to me

Within an hour a generous
citizen of Tracy City had loaned

ask you law abiding citizens
of our county to answer these
questions.
What would you, il some one
out in the dark fred into the
house of your feeble aged par
ents?
What would you DO if your
sister lived all alone and was
doing every thing one human
being could do to help in educat-
Ing the children of the commu-
nifty and some one in the public
road in the darkness of night
fired bullets iuto herhome.3
What would pou do if your
little girl was struck in the arm
by shots fired from your neigh
bors yard, and no apologies made
think it over honestly and fairly.
And a few mere questions.
If you knew something was
being pade and sold in your
community which would slowly
and surely undermine the well
fare Of your children and destroy
the peace of the community, and
bring death and disgrace to some
of our men and women. Would
you sit quietly by and not inter
fere?
If your government employed
man to see that the law was not
violated and to help make your
house a safer place to live. If
that man shot a man who had a
gun aimed at his young brothe
would you call that man a bad
character?
Do you advocate the open de-
tiance of the law?
