FEW ROAD SHOWS THIS YEAR

Mr.. Phillips, manager of the Will
son theatre says there will be few
road shows this year, on account of
the high cost of transportation, and
the cost of production, and the pre-
valent idea that business is poor in
the south. Last year there were 35
bookings of shows for this city
while this year there are only half
as many.
Nightie Night is the first road show
coming to town and this is due here
September 18th. Mr.. Phillips says
this is a high class attraction and
worthy of your patronage.

Skull Broken.

Horace Council, young son of Mr.
sCheatham Council. who is connected
with the delivery service of the e. P
Grissom grocery store, was kicked by
"a horse Sunday afternoon and the
skull of the forehead was broken
The horse had been turned out of
the barn, and the boy jumped out OF
the wagon too close to the horse, and
as the horse kicked up his heels and
began to play he struck the boy in
the forehead knocking him down and
indenting the skull of the forehead.
The boy was taken to the office of
DIR. H. w. fQualls and the physician,
with the assistance of Drs. Park and
Latimer, removed that part of the
skull which had been broken loose,
something like two inches or more
in length and over a fourth of an inch
in width. The wound was very Sc
rious, but perhaps by the prompt ac-
tion and surgical. skill the little fell
lows life is saved.

ly advice to set the erring feet back
on the right path almost before they
have left Really you would be sur
prised to learn how much unadver-
tised good an efficient police organi-
cation can do in an ordinary year.
Turn back to the picture of the viii
lage, though, and you will find a stu
alton which leaves about everything
in the world lacking.
The home life of our fathers he's
disintegrated, and nothing has been
brought in to take it's place. The
corner gang" which is being cxter-
minated through the combined eff
forts of the police and the social
worker in the city, has transferred
its operations to the Yillage-and
there is no force here to cope with it
or counterfeit it.
Young men race madIy about over
three or four counties in high-pow-
cred motor cars-and there are no
traffic or motorcycle loops" to see
that the rules of decency and safety
are imposed. Mixed gatherings are
more frequently unchaperoned, and
the comparative lack of organized
amusements forces these young peo-
pie to just keep company" for lack
of something better to do-a situa-
tion full of dangerous potentialities.
These are only suggestions, and you
who are familiar with current village
life can complete the picture of So
cial barrenness.
The child who is going to have to
struggle for all he extracts from ex
istence will possess some special adj
vantages if he be born in the city.
If he is below par physically it will
soon be discovered. Whether he is
rich or poor the physical examination
at school will detect his lack, and If
subsequent inspections fail to show
evidence of proper treatment under
the care of the parents the city will
take matters into it's own hands and
see that the condition is corrected.
Compare that with the laissez faire
policy of the village authorities and
it will not be difficult to understand
why the draft calls into our war
time army showed a greater per-
centage of unfit from the cities of
5000 and less than from any of the
crowded industrial centers.
At this period of our national and
racial development when every, mind
and every arm which cannot reach
full efficiency is drag on the nation
at the dawn of an era of the most
bitter and relentless International
trade and Industrial competition, 1t
is folly to longer ignore the tremen-
dous waste which occurs when we
permit preventable cases of moral,
mental or physical deficiencies to get
past childhood uncorrected
This is not sermon, it is a ques-
tion. Does it apply to Union City?

City Municipal Ticket.
Try Again, Mr.. President.

1t looks like case of political
irony, but what ever it is we must
admit that practically all the great
national issues arise in the minds of
Democrats and then the Republican
party returns to power.
The issue that has ruled since war
is that of League of Nations. The
United States Senate did its level
best to minimize the Importance of
this great issuc-to discredit it and,
if possible, to smother it with dis
repute. That effort failed ignomin-
iously.
And now the President and his
camp followers are racking their
barren brain for something to take
its place The Republican party has
been floundering around ever since
the Versailles conference for some
thing to wipe it out, but the more
they try-the more they muddy the
waters-the bigger they magnify
*'The handwriting on the wall
which has been reflected to the ut
termost parts of the earth.
The ASSOCIATE On of Nations!"
How tame-how infinitely, small.
What a grotesque caricature of an
immortal conception! 1t is indeed a
painful comparison.
And how absurdly presumptuous
the thought that the Association Of
Nations will dazzle the minds of
European statesmen into scrapping
the League of Nations" for the
sum total privilege of immortalizing
the Republican party of the United
States. What an ass we are to ig-
more the work of Europe at Yer
sailles and undertake to prescribe
for them.
Gosh all hemlocki
{, But to take up the thread again,
we. have had several notable exam
pies of the appropriation of lpolitical
thunder by Republican Founders.
One of the most striking of these was
Col. Roosevelt's progressivism taken
bodily from Bryans life in American
politics, without change but with all
the swashbuckle and camoufiage ever
comprised in one mans brain and
Drawn. Bryan was the exponent,
but the referendum and recall and
all the popular theories of franchise
and government came from a man
named Uren, and Roosevelt with the
big stick placarded every town and
hamlet in this country with the hot
stuff"
Since that time we have had the
Federal reserve and the Federal loan
systems, and almost invariably these
things are followed by Republican
success at the polls
Every good issue, it seems, as well
as every bad one, brings defeat at
the polls. True it was that Mr.. Will
son was elected twice, but his return
to the White House was brought
about by the unexpected woman's
vote of California. The final issue at
the ballot box was a cataclysm.
There are in the philosophy of
Bryan's socialism some good things,
but much of it, like government own
ership, is strictly idealism. 1t is not
of earth, but of state or condition
which cannot survive on earth.
The league of tho nations of the
earth is in its final analysis the full
fillment of the divine order and no
ordinary mind has been able to COM
prehend the scope of its magnitude

her. He said his name was Walter

Anna, who is nineteen years old,
was in the employ of the Albohns for
three years prior to last July. Her
parents, known to the Abbohns, were
named Dresmeyer and lived at 155th

Bronx. But in July Anna left her
employment and nothing OF her
whereabouts was known to the Al

NEW NEGOTIATIONS
FOR CONCESSIONS
TO PACIFY IRELAND
Hope Ulster Will Persuade
South to Accept and Work
Under Partition.
MAY FREE PRISONERS.
Reputed Full Fiscal Autonomy
to Both Sections Is to
Be Offered.

DUBLIN, Feb. 7.-Belief is growing
that an important development may
come to light when Parliament recon-
venes, looking to a settlement with
Southern Ireland.
According to one report, the Gov
ernment is trying to bring the Ulster
leaders into line with a well formu-
to accept the partition provided for in
the Home Rule Act and work under
IT. This version OF the reputed plans
has 1t that the prize to be offered for
acceptance is a grant OF full fiscal
autonomy to both sections of Ireland.
This would be coupled, 1t is said, so
far as the South is concerned, with. an
offer to release the political prisoners
and grant amnesty to Irish Republl-
cans generally, including members OF
the Irish Republican Army, and even
men "On the rum"
Negotiations TO this end are report
ed to be now proceeding between
Mr.. Lloyd George, and Sir Edward
Carson, Ulster leader in the British
Parliament. Concessions are said to
be contemplated with regard 10 the
amount Of taxes payable TO England
under the new act.
1t is reported from Belfast that
one constable was killed and two
others wounded by the explosion of
bomb thrown at them while they
were on duty at Warrenpoint, near
| Dundalk. last night.

taclos or ambushes within a mile OF
the town.
Threats are made that IL not volun-
tarily Joined men will be conscripted
between the ages OF seventeen and
forty-five for such services. Refusal
will be regarded as an offense. The
idea is the guards should report all
suspicious movements and prJpara-
tions for ambushes to the military
or police, but the popular inclination
is to reject such work as being spy
work and to take the consequences OF
such refusal.
