BACK POSTAGE.

A peculiar thing happened at
Mr.. Burleson's post office here
last week. The postmaster was
informed that he must pay-out
of his own pocket if the publish
er didn't-back postage on pa
pers sent by the News to South
Pittsburg since that place put on
city delivery. Of course the
News paid, although not having
actual date at hand when that
place became so exalted. 1t is
now expecting a demand for
back postage on papers on rural
routes since they were inaugur-
ated, which would be just as log
ical, since it must cost more to
deliver the mail on a rural route
forty miles long than a city de-
livery route four blocks square

quarrels of Europe is unfair to the
peace loving citizens of this
country, whether they be native

it must look particularly hard to
those who have come here to avoid
the fighting and the bloodshed of
feudist powers. Certainly this
great nation. with aspiration for
peace and brotherhood with the
countries of the world can gain
nothing in its influence for peace
by becoming a party to the feuds
of European countries.
This great Republic must con.
tinue as the exemplar of all the
governments of the world, erect
and strong in its civilization, ex-

selfish leadership to the end that

THE TURTLES NEST

One day n early summer lady living
in western Maine noticed aturtle acting
strangely in her garden Going out to
it, she found IL had laid a dozen or more
eggs under bit Of bank, and was cover
ing them with sand. Though the sand
about nest was packed bard, the old
turtle would work ~ nifty loose with
her claws; rn ~A.u Err uind feet she
would push ,4,e.uuy over the eggs.
When they were completely covered
she departed to a stream at the foot of
garden. Sne had chosen the spot we'll,
for oyerhanging turf effectually protect
ed the eggs from harm by weather or by
the feet of passers.by.
A guest, to whomthe secret OF toe nest
was revealed was much interested in
it, and before leaving exactel a promise
that he should be told when the eggs
hatched, meanwhile, be asked various
people how long turtles eggs usually
ncubaLed, but got no satisfactory ans.
wer
On September s, exactly three months
after the turtle laid the eggs, the guest
came again. Learning that the eggs
bad not patched, be concluded they
had spoiled. Removing a portion OF
the earth from the nest, he broke one OF
the eggs, which were about thr ee-tourths
Of an inch in diameter, light colored
and incased in covering similar to
that of soft.shelled hens egg. He
found live turtle, but it was not fully
developed and lived only few days.
On November II the guest returning
TO his homo, after an absence OF a few
days, found small package in his mail
1t contained live turtle with a she'll
about the size OF a silver quarter. The
little fellow had been in the package
three days. The eggs,a note explained,
bad hatched at last, and all the young
turtles, except one in the package, had
made their way to the nearby brook az.
soon as the we're safely out of the SHELF
The period of incubation was a little
more than five months.
The lively little captive flourished
in vessel Of water, provided with an
islet OF rock and moss. 1t ate fish, either
raw or cooked, and any sort OF table
scraps. But invariably 1t took the bits
OF food below the surface of the water
before eating them.

The Cannon Fodder
of Europe
BY JOSEPH c. MANNING

European countries have no
more been without wars tkan
have our cities and towns been
without fires. Every now and
then there breaks out the seeming
ly inevitable conflagration of
warface in Europe. 1t has ever
been thus throughout the centur-
les.
The rearing of boys for service
in the armies of the Old World
has caused the peoples of the
foreign countries to grow weary
of the hardship and sorrow of
human slaughter until the tide
of immigration to the United
States has been augmented
because the horror of these wars
more than for any other reason.
Those coming to America have
aought asylum from the repeated
strife and bloodshed resulting
from the quarrels of foreign
powers and to avoid having their
sons become, cannon fodder"
for contending rulers of warning
countries. 1t is, therefore, no
wonder that those who have
sought peace in the United States
should shrink from the entang-
lement of this great nation in a
scheme of superworld govern
ment such as is the Wilson league
of nations, which would mean
again subjecting those who have
come here to escape foreign con-
flicts to being drafted to fight in
these same old European slaugh-
tiers of mankind.

Wrong Guarantee

''0" AmbsSsad to F,a1 se Pss7 isS
How can an American citizen one who really loves his
country vote for Cox for president when the following
points regarding the league of nations considered!
AT the unwilling of the John Barry monument President
Wilson, ardent supporter of the league OF naons
idea and the who practically alone secured the nser
ton of this plank in the democratic platform, said:
America need not, and should not, form an alliance
with ANY nation earth. -
That we believe, means precisely what 1t says WIZ no
alliance with any foreign nation.
But now President Wilson is completely reversed from
his position that this country should not make an ddCe
with ONE foreign country, but urges to make 1t with
THIRTY ONE nations, and this alliance with thirty one
nations will bind America quoting from the covenant to
Preserve against external aggression the territorial
integrity ... of all members of the League.
Then the official senographc report OF the eighth Pe
airy session of the conference quotes PRESIDENT WIZ
saying thiS .
You must not forget that it is FORCE which the final
guarantee of the public peace the world is again
troubled the guarantee given you means that the On
tied States will send to this the European side Oh the
ocean their army and their fleet.'
At present there number of conflicts gong on IN
Europe and adjacent countries authority having sew
enteen enumerated.
+bis he soand we have no reason doubt that it is
so will the man. or the woman either, who is going to
vote for the Wilson candidate Cox figure out for us how
much will this nation in blood and treasure the
league of nations is signed.
YOU are such voter imagine that the November cleo
ton is over and that Cox is elected. democratic con-
aress would probably follow the election of democratic
president Then the treaty would be Immediately rat
fed and what would be the result?
IT is difficult to tell but very probably there would be at
once heavy demands this country for soldiers and
money.
President Wilson himself admitted this when he said,
speaknp for mandate for Armenia, that 60 600 Ameri
can soldiers and $7OO,OOO,OOO would consummate the
end Military experts said would take 200 900 soldiers
and several billion dollars instead of million.
And this is only example, for there seven
teen other chances to sacrifice men and money.

WHO is JOE BROWN?

Who is Joe Brown? He is the
son of Hon. Foster V. Brown.
and probably the ablest Of the
younger lawyers of Chattanooga,
and he is a candidate for cen
gress in this congressional dis
trict.
Everyone who knows Joe
Brown knows that he is sble and
besides possessing ability, he is
young and vigorous, not having
been like another on the sands
of time" so long on the job that
he has forgotten he has a people
or that he ever had a people =
except around election time.
The News is also of the opin-
ion that he is American. BY
American we mean a man who,
when an issue arises concerning
his country, Immediately reflects.
is it of good to my country, or
will it do it harm? This is the
true type of patriotism, not the
whoop and holIer kind, but the
sober, rational, thinking citizen
kind. So, il Joe Brown is elect
ed to congress, and it looks very
much like the. people in elf-de-
tense are going to put him there
we will not be cursed with any
eccentrlcities for the benefit OF
foreign lands and laws that will
add burdens to American citizens
for we feel sure that as far as
Mr.. Brown is concerned they
will be opposed, and that's what
all want.
