LOWDEN'S FAIRNESS

Former Governor Herbert S. Had
ley, of Missouri, who was one of the
Roosevelt leaders in the turbulent
Republican national convention of
1912 in Chicago, recently paid tri-
butte to the fairness of Gov. Frank o.
Lowden, who as member Of the Gre
dentials committee in the convention
voted to seat number of Roosevelt
delegates.
Mr. Hadley said:
"Let there be no doubt as to Gov
ernor Lowden's actions during the
1912 convention. | was present be-
fore the credentials committee in
behalf of all the Roosevelt delegates.
| have no criticism whatever of
Governor Lowden's action or his vote,
He was entirely fair to all concerned
in my judgment"
Mr.. Hadley now lives in Colorado.
and it is possible he may be one of
the Colorado delegates to the Chicago
convention next June.

EXPERT SOON

The Blount county court went or
record Saturday by vote of 26 to a
granting an appropriation of $2400
to be supplemented by $4,000 from
the state and the Rockefeller founda.
tion, for the eradication of disease in
the county, and other health work as
outlined in the program of the state
board.
At the January term of court, the
magistrates killed the appropriation
resolution with only one vote being
cast for it. However, the Kiwanis
club of Maryville got busy on the job
and with united effort on their part
and that of the physicians in present
ing the cause to the magistrates the
appropriation was granted by nearly
unanimous vote.
DR.. Bryant, who did three months
work here, is expected to return soon
and take up the work for the year, as
the appropriation will care for twelve
months work.
The need of this work is evident,
and the court has the approval Of the
tax payers in granting this appropria-
tion, as expressed by many citizens
from every part of the county.

THE OLD CHURCH BELL
By T. McMurry

Hark, sweet sound | hear,
Tis the old church bell
Ringing, ringing loud and clear,
Calling out the hour of prayer,
Bidding the'servants of the Lord
To gather in the sacred pews,
And worship Him with sweet accord
Trusting in His power to Save.
They come, DER hill and dell,
Young and old, rich, poor together
Marching to the music of the bell.
Their faces shining and bright,
They listen to the story of Love,
AS told them from the sacred word,
About the bright city above,
That beautiful home of the soul.
Ended, the sacred hour,
They each with gladdened heart,
Trusting the word Of his power,
Move from the sacred place,
Thinking of the heavenly home,
Where they will hear him say,
eye blessed of my father, come,
Inherit the kingdom prepared for
you".

many new businesses are opened
here, if the health of the people is
endangered and disease breeding
centers are allowed right off the
Main street, there links on every
hand that danger which may produce
an epidemic of sickness, dwarf lives
and make unhappy people who
otherwise would and should be happy
The thing the people in these COM
munities need is cooperation in bet
tering their conditions. 1t is the
best they can do for these are the
best places in which they can find to
make their home. House builders and
home renters should give their ten
ants decent places in which to live
and according to some of them they
pay enough to have more decent and
commodious surroundings.
Maryville's housing problem is a
proposition confronting the citizen
ship of the town. Something must
be done to remedy conditions. A
man cannot do the most effect work
of which he is capable when he lives
under conditions as they exist in
some of these communities. Clean
up week is coming soon, and it is as
necessary that these unsanitary
places be cleaned up as that any
other place should be cleaned. Con-
ditions are unsightly, dump piles are
near residences and places where
folks work, the atmosphere is con-
taminated with disease germs, and
these are some of the reasons Blount
county has such a high death rate.
And these conditions exist in the
heart of Maryville.
A church cannot appeal to a man
to live Christian life when church
members permit of such unwhole-
some surroundings in a mans door
The town cannot expect to develop
able bodied citizens as long as some
of her children must grow up under
conditions such as exist here in our
midst. The schools cannot expect to
help these children to any great ex-
cent unless the teachings of the
schools are carried into practice and
cleanliness in community life is
taught.
Maryville has her problem, which
is a social, an economic, health, an
a moral and a religious
problem, and it is up to the people of
Maryville to solve it.
If you think these conditions are
as recited herein, 90
with Miss Hanson, and she will show
you conditions which beggar descrip-
5lon-conditions which will bring
ears to any mans eyes who loves
little children and is jealous of their
future.

;he court members spoke on the
esoiuticn, those speaking in opposi-
tion to it being ESQ. w. W. Peery
md Esq. jenkins, the latter having
'ecently been nominated as the re-
publican candidate for tax assessor.
Others who addressed the court
were M. H. Gamble, T. N. Brown, R.
r. Kramer and DR.. McCulloch, all
favoring the appropriation.
The great applouse of the crowd
illing the court house, representing
every part of the county, showed
the unanimous approval of the courts
action in granting this money to
preserve the life and health of the
citizens.

of dirty hungry children, all crowded
into one, two and sometimes three
rooms. What do these rooms look
like-Look, this room was papered
ten years ago, but now hangs in wide
strips from the ceiling, partly gone
from the wall. Another may be
plastered, but after years has grown
black with smoke and dirt. Another
is boarded and still another wall has
only the single sheeting, with wide
cracks between. Some with windows,
some without; others filled with rags
or pasteboard. Wide cracks in the
floor, wind blowing through, chill you
to the bone.

LITTLE CHILDREN PLAY
ABOUT OPEN CLOSETS
Conditions in Battle Branch Neighbor-
hood are Repulsive and Dangerous to
Health of the People.

Maryville is the best town in the
south. Of this we all boast and are
proud. But in our pride and boast
fulness there are conditions prevalent
in this town, which, if known to the
citizenship generally, would be brand
ed as a menace to our public health,
conditions which are dwarfng little
children, breeding disease in the
bodies and homes of our citizens, and
which are too rotten for any self
respecting and decent people to per-
nit. Of.
Miss Hanson, Red Cross nurse, has
for months been working in the slum
districts Of the town, In some of
these novels there live as bright and
virtuous people as are found in any
homes. In some of these novels into
which she goes are little children
with bright eyes and intelligent
cohntenances, but under conditions
as they exist and in which they live,
these lives which are full of promise
and which should become an asset to
the town and county, will become
liability, and detectives, dependents
and delinquents, will be the harvest
to the county.
Within two or three blocks of the
Main street of Maryville, so nearby
that in the hot summer days, the Of
fensive odors from these localities
reach on to the Main street, are con-
ditions which are a menace to the
lives of the people and which should
be eliminated as soon as possible.
The town has laws which should pro-
hibit such conditions, but public senti-
ment is the great court which must
back public officials, and unless pub
lie sentiment compels the enforce
ment of laws prohibiting of these
conditions, the town will reap sick
ness and death as a result.
The accompanying pictures will re-
veal to the minds of readers some
thing of the conditions as they exist.
Only a stones throw from Main
street, in a thickly settled block, are
number of small houses, some in
good repair and nice places to live if
conditions surrounding them were in
viting, some unfit for a man to keep
his hogs in. In one center, are To-
Gated two houses within few feet, |
perhaps fifteen feet of three outdoor
closets. These closets set close to !
each other. They are open closets.
No pits under them. One of the
dwellings is situated just below them,
so that when heavy rains come, the
refuse from these closets washes to
the door of the house. Little child
rem play around these open closets
which are disease breeders and whose
foulness will dwarf their bodies and
make of them men and women unable
physically to bear life's burdens, as
will be the boys and girls who grow
up in more sanitary surroundings.
These three closets are in a com
munity where there are a dozen or
more out door closets, the backs of
which are open and the refuse from
which is rolling down the hill into
other yards. 1t is a condition which
any decent loving town should pro-
hibit today, and which officials we

the condition and appreciate the
awfulness thereof.

mails to live in. One house of which
note was taken, has two rooms. the
kitchen stove pipe runs out the enc
of the building, and the end of the
pipe is only few inches from the
weather boarding, absolutely unsafe
from fire danger. There are cracks
in the walls almost large enough for
birds to fly through The ventila-
ton is unfit, the rooms are small, anG
the industrious family living therein
ioes the best it can under such con
Iitions, but would do better with &
more decent place in which to live.
We do not pose as building inspect
ors, but we are of the opinion this
building should be condemned, before
it falls upon the occupants or before
4 stiff breeze carries it away before
it, condemned as an unfit and unsafe
place in which to live.
There are other two-room houses
which bring fairly high rents, with
only a half-window in each of the
rooms, insufficient for light and
ventilation. But it is home to those
occupying them and who are doing
their best to make an honest living
and train their children up properly.
But the odds are against them for the
environment is too repulsive and of
tensive for the children to be inspir-
ed with the lovely and the beautiful
and the good in life.
Closets over Branch
And then again, from these hill
sides on which the open closets are
located, water drains into the creel
which skirts the foot of the hill.
Open closets set above this creek in
some instances. Families in the
neighborhood get water from the
creek to do their washing, and per-
haps to do the washing of families in
the town. Water unfit for hogs to
wallow in, and through which disease
germs are carried.
Houses in these communities
some of them, are within the specif-
ed limit for sewer connections, and
the city laws say that they shall be
connected, but water connections are
not made, and water for cooking and
must be carried from the
spring at the foot of the hill.
These houses should have water
connections, and if sewer connections
cannot, for any reason, be mare. pits
should be dug under the closets and
The sanitary ordinances complied
with. If the town will enforce the

communities, water connections anG
