THE NATION WANTS PEACE.
There is nothing to get excited about in the
destruction of the American steamer Evelyn by
a floating mine. Nobody knows and nobody can
ever know whether the mine was planted by the
Germans or the British, and everybody under-
stands that neither of the countries would delib-
erately destroy an American ship.
This is no time for the United States to be
captious and quarrelsome. The warring nations
are fur from normal. In sociul life no one holds
to strict account a friend with a fever or an ac-
quaintance with an overload of alcohol, and allow-
ances must be made for our friends across the
ocean on exactly the same basis of reasoning.
From a selfish viewpoint, the United States, by
keeping out of this war, will win an infinitely
greater and more material victory than if it could,
single-handed, whip all of the fighting nations.
And from the higher standpoint of humanity the
argument for national peace is even greater.
This country wants no part in the hideous
struggle on the other side of the Atlantic. The
United States wants peace—and must have peace.
Bonimm’s street car has been consigned to
tlie scrap heap. Bonham had only one street
car. It was an old 18H8 model and it made
about three trips a week from the depot to
Russell Heights. The system was inaugu-
rated back in the early days when the old
Fannin County Fuir was in progress and a
dummy steam engine was used. Later Bon-
ham people learned of the electric car and
their enthusiasm led some of the more weal-
thy citizens to invest in one car. The track
was laid through the square and the business
men on that side raised a mighty howl. The
car scared the fanners horses and threatened
to drive all business to the other side of the
court house. Mass meetings were held and
later an agreement was reached by which the
tracks were laid around the square, permit-
ting the town to have a street car without
showing favoritism. This plan made it cer-
tain that every man’s business would be in-
jured alike, and the little car made a trip
every once in awhile for u time. Later the
schedule was changed and the car was left
standing on the corner of the square until a
passenger showed up. During the last few
years the man who played the role of motor-
man-conductor has been farming out at the
edge of town and the car was operated after
his crops were “laid by” and on rainy days
when no work could be done in the field. Now
the little vehicle is gone. The Favorite makes
no boast of its departure. It makes the fol-
lowing meek confession: “The jitney car has
no further terrors for the Bonham Street Car
Company. The street car heard the little
jitney car coming and died of heart failure.”
—Clarksville Times.
Yet, we are bound to confess that it is better
to have tried and failed than to have never tried.

is Italy making ready to plunge into the war
for profit? The Giornale d’itaiia, of Rome, a
supporter of the policy of Premier Saiandra, says:
“The time has come to make it clear to the
people that the present state of things cannot last
indefinitely. Italy cannot emerge from the ter-
rible European crisis as she is today. She must
therefore be ready, for it would be suicide to let
the crisis pass without improving her frontiers,
realizing her aspirations, raising her prestige and
assuring her future. Action is life.”
To some this war is a national tragedy. To
others it seems to be a political and commercial
opportunity.
An eminent Boston authority says a family
of five can live on $17 a week. It is a safe wager
that there are thousands of such families in thi
broad land of ours that are existing on a great
deal less than the amount mentioned.
Doubtless there are men who imagine they
eould induct* George Washington to change his
mind about some things, if they had him on earth
long enough to talk to him in an earnest and elo-
quent manner.
A lady writer says that the ease with which
one can secure a divorce causes many men to
say: "Oh, well, if her beauty fades and she
isn’t congenial, there’s a way out.” We had
no idea there was a woman in the world who
had accumulated that much lack of informa-
tion about matrimony. The idea of a man in
love saying such a thing! In the first place,
he knows—positively knows—that she al-
ways will seem beautiful to him. He is cer-
tain that he will never tire of being in her
presence. He could ask no greater blessing
than to sit eternally and hold her hand. The
thought never crosses his mind that he may
tire of the queen sent him by kind fortune.
People often marry without giving the sub-
ject enough thought, but no man thinks there
is even a possibility of a divorce when he
stands trembling and unseen at the marriage
altar.—Claude Callan, in Fort Worth Star-
Telegram.
If the husbands were, as a rule, half so good
to the wives as the wives are to the husbands,
there would not be near so many family jars aired
out in the courts.

Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
luster to the hair when faded, streak-
ed or gray; also ends dandruff, itch-
ing scalp and stops fulling hair. Years
ago theonly way to get thu mixture
was to rnuke it at home, whicn is mus-
»y and troublesome. Nowadays, by
ashing ut any drug store for “Wyeth’s |
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy,”
you will get a largo bottle of this fa-
mous old recipe for unout 60 cents.
