Is the tide beginning to turn?
Young men in some of our big
cities are yearning for an oppor-
tunity to get into the farms, and
the press is advising such acourse.
The wild dissipation and profiigate
spending of the cities is palling
upon them. They prefer the free
dom and greater security of coun-
try life, even if the hours are a
little longer and the work a little
harder. They have come to realize
that their earnings In the city are
eaten up in the profiteering prices
now being charged for everything
they buy, both essentials and lux
uries. They see nothing ahead of
them but ceaseless repetition of
earning it today and spending it
tomorrow, and having brains they
are beginning to employ them to
advantage. Being but a little cog
in a big wheel in the cities, they
would migrate to the country,
where there is room and oppor-
tunity for all. Dunlap Tribune.

Judge Gary, of the United
States Steel Corporation, recently
mentioned a list of the articles in
which the United States with 7
per cent. of the land of the world
and 6 per cent. of its population,
has more than its share, from 20
per cent. of its gold to 85 per cent.
of its automobiles. And these
with constitutional freedom, and
assurance of protection of life
and liberty. This is an excellent
reason why union with nations
which are so greatly our interiors
in wealth should be made, so as
to make US a stepping-stone for
their future greatness. 1t may
not be democratic charity to those
nations. but it is charity to our
own people. and true charity
begins at home.

The statement announcing the
fall of Rev. Parsons is regretta-
BILE, as it puts a man who was
esteemed here in a bad light.
1t is almost unbelievable that a
man who took the high position
he did should have slipped down
the ladder. However, it is a
certain fact that the devil always
aims high in his efforts to pull
down and it takes a strong man.
indeed to resist his allurements
to the end. Human nature is
weak and the bigger the crash he
can make the greater the havoc.
Rev. Parsons, however, is not
the only minister who was ever
in Sequatchie, who is guilty of
the same sin.

be encouraged, but let the fact
be distinctly understood that no
young man who aspires to play
good ball can smoke cigarettes
and last long at the game. Sooner
or later cigarette smoking affects
his sight and nerves and then it
is all off with him. The News
hopes to chronicle the playing
of many pleasant games this
season by the professor and his
student team.

The News does not understand
it, but why was dependence plac-
ed in D. A. Tate, of So. Pitts
burg for the delivering of that
message to the miners. Is it be-
cause the miners unions feel that
the republican party is the one
they must lean on for help? If
not, why did they not ask that
mighty man who put a great
road law upon US. and who en-
dorses labor with his right hand

proved himself equal to the e.

MILITARISM NOT WANTED.

training, compulsory or other
wise, as an argument against
him. The general. however, is
now pretty we'll weaned of that

THE fight to retain at least a
germ of militarism in the army
measure was very persistent,
but the people were watchful and
would have none of it. Some OF
the artifice resorted to was not
very creditable to those who pro-
fess to represent the people.
Finding public sentiment like a
stone wall in opposition to COM
pulsory military training, certain
senators then proposed to provide
for voluntary training, but even
this had to be given up. When
the people rose up against

provision was inserted which

people of the Old World were as
sick of war as the people of these
United States are of the little
dose they got when $4,000 of
their sons fell in battle, there
would never be another war on
earth. The esteemed Chattanoo-
ga News need never fear that
republicans will nominate a man
who will force militairism on an
unwilling people or will insert a
plank in their platform to that
effect. Republicans detest Ger
man mllitarism. If their leaders
were to thus err at Chicago this
week, endorsing militarism, a
third party. an American party,

and by the people, would rise up
instanter to administer rebuke.
No attention would be made to

platform that would mean peace.

Special Session of Council

The general collapse Of the city adrninistra-
ton, arising from the resignation of the presi-
dent of the board of works and the city attorney,
as we'll as from the absence of city court judge.
resulted in the calling Of special session Of the
city council to meet tonight.
The purpose Of the meeting, says the notice
served on the city clerk, is to inquire into the
conduct and actions of Mayor Zimmerman
No one will deny that municipal affairs in
Richmond are in a bad way, and that the city
lacks capable executive. The city council
should be encouraged by citizens generally to
ask for the resignation of Mayor Zimmerman.
The man himself, whose physical condition
initiates against successful administration of
public affairs should realize that he owes to the
city, which has repeatedly honored him with
election to office, the duty of quitting.
The situation is approaching serious crisis.
Council should not halt with halfway measure
but theoretically proceed to provide the city with
executive head. The municipality cannot
wait for 80 days before it undertakes the task of
Reorganization. Council should follow at once
the legal steps necessary to declare the mayor
altys office vacant so that successor can as.
sumo the executive duties.
In the meantime, city officials might well
heed the warning issued by President Gilbert
when he criticized what he believed to be ex
travagant expenditures in the city affairs. The
city has need to practice economy of the most

Today's Talk
NOTHING COLLAPSES.
BY George Matthew Adams

In city where I was on business
recently, the entire town was startled
by the death of prominent man who,
in moment of great encouragement,
had taken his own life. His only rea-
so given for the act, was that the
country was about to collapse.
But nothing collapses!
The greatest lesson that history or
science teaches is that nothing ever
really goes to pieces. Change is al
ways going on. No single day presents
the same man or woman, or tree, or
house, or machine, in exactly the same
state. All the time something Is
crumbling-but always to form some
thing different-and better.
The walk of the world is forward and
outward-into the whole.
When one civilization goes down, as
is written, it really falls that some
thing greater may take it's place. If a
thing cannot stand on It's own legs
other legs will have to come-and
maybe new and different body
While writing this little talk, look
over the waters of a beautiful lake
rich in historic incidents. Beyond its
edges are great mountains, steel grey
against the sky, and tall pines reach
hundreds of feet into the air, forming
wonderful lace-like fringe at the foot
hills.
But a few centuries ago, this spo
was a fiat plaintiff great glaciers
grooved it and formed what is here
today
Nothing collapses.
Not even behind the curtain O
marching armies does utter COLLAPSE
come, terrible as is their devastation
For the same God who makes tn,
yellow and white and purple flowers
and warns the floor of the earth will
His carpets Of green, also "keel
watch above His oWn'-and is not &C

Care Need in Drafting Home Rule Bill

Citizens Of Richmond, convinced that a
change in the FORM of municipal government IS
desired, must not deceive themselves into believ-
ing that this change can be put into effect at
once.
Even if the special session of the legislature
would pass law giving cities home rule, the
present city officials would hold their office
til their terms expired, which is next year.
Immediate remedial changes, therefore, are
impossible. The present system will remain for
year. But that does not mean that capable
mayor should not succeed the present incumbent
Mayor Zimmerman should be asked to quit
the office.
If the legislature should pass bill giving cit
les the right of determining the form of govern
ment they want, the election determining this
change would not be held until next year, and the
new system could not be inaugurated until the
present administration has served the term fol
which it was elected.
A home rule bill will demand careful study
and should not be enacted until it has been thor
oughly analysed. There are as many pitfalls ir
managerial form of government as in the ole
system. These can be obviated only by the care
full forethought of the people who draft the
measure
