Hendersonvilti, Thursday ge&., 8,' 1917 WHAT KID OF COUNTY COMMIS SIONERS HAVE WE? The county commissioners have been put to the test. A large delegation met with them last Tuesday and put the matter of a farm demonstrator for Henderson county squarely up to them. ' They are the executive com mitteemen of the county; therefore it it is up to them to decide whether the county shall go backward in this work or start forward along with seventy, other counties of the state that already have the demonstration work going on. .' Should they decide that the demon stration work ought to be carried on -u the county, two thirds of the citi zens of the county will consider them PROGRESSIVE commissioners, men who are alive to the needs of the coun ty. If by some reason they do not give the county the much needed demon strator then these two third of the cit izens of the count v cannot heln hut " " I "fAAl that thc nTTTYliffcirtTiiiTci VAm I progressive and are men who have no desire to promote the best interests of the farmers of the county.

The Senate committee reported the Oates bill favorably and the same will come up for consideration in that body on Friday of this week. The suggestion of minority leader McCrary before the joint committee of the House and Senate, to the effect that 120,000 Republicans and many , Democrats are clamoring for the right to elect their boards of education, and the note of warning sounded by him to, the Democrats of these demands should be ignored, must have been amusing to the Democratic members - of the committee. Some of them should have reminded, Mr. McCrary that when his party controlled the legislatures of 1895 and 1897, no ef fort was made -to -give the people the privilege for which" he feigns so mucn concern now. On the contrary, they changed the method so' that boards of education were selected by county commissioners and superintendents were- appointed by clerks of the supe rior court. V " j " . Furthermore, Mr McCrary's" party changed the name of county superin tendent, (or rather abolished the office .of super jnlendent), and called that; of. Sclal by an entirely new name Coun . ey Examiner, in ' order tfiat ; they night beenabled by law to take charge of the schools. And yet some . cf that very same crowd ..are now shedding tears about- being deprived of the right to solect vheir school officials. Bah. ' :3 PARTING OF THE WATS.V On Saturday morning, February 3. diplomatic relations with Germany were severed by the President of the United States, when Count Von Bern- offlces and Fatherland. : The public has long realized that a break with Germany was inevitable and when the note giving, warning that the Berlin government had re- moved restrictions on submarine war fare appeared in press dispatches jfew days ago, all hope of continuing friendly relations with . the Imperial government was dispelled. But no other alternative was left to the Unl iea estates, without, a surrender of honor and self-respect. A few of President Wilson's advisors counselled against assuming that Germany's sub marine notice, in itself, meant inva sion of neutral rights and urged that diplomatic relations be continued un til some overt action of a submaine compelled the severance. The Presi dent himself suggested the sending of another note of warning to Germany, but this Idea was looked upon with disfavor and the position of this Re public made plain by the action taken In severing diplomatic relations. , Unquestionably, this break means that a very serious situation faces this country. It may not mean . . actual war, but nine chances In ten similar . V t " i , ' - . s- S.QndiUons. have hitherto resulted in hostilities. That ihis ' country will soon be in actual war with Germany there is little doubt. The severance of diplomatic relations generally marks tne beginning of serious conse quences. The , recent past shows no instance of' a diplomatic break be tween two first class powers that has not been followed by hostilities. It is not probable, therefore, that strained relations between the United States, ad Germany will continue for any great lapse of time without provoking jnore serious consequences than would result from the mere severance of re lations. However, under the laws 01 nations,' 'the rights of Germany In the United States and of the United States In Germany will not be seriously af fected unless hostilities are aetually begun. No treaties are terminated or suspended by the severance of rela tions, but remain in full force and ef lect unless either the United States or Germany shall decide to denounce them, which, under international law3 and usages, calls for a year's notice. If the break means war the fault does not lie at the door of Prefident Wilson, who" has been patient and long-suffering He has endeavored, in every, possible fcianner, 'to avoid a break with' the Central' ' -Powers. - He has come the President may confident and his party on account of the con ciliatory spirit shown in his .dealings i with Germany. Now,, tnat me Dreait ha scome, the President may confident, ly rely upon the: coufage and patriot ism of the American people to sustain him1 In the position he has taken. He win, have a united peop? , . v, further, action in the r interest . oi , an-?, manity and to maintain the honor and dignity of the United States. The action that other neutral coun tries may take is problematicA major portion of them will probably announce their sympathy with the United States and thus aid in hasten ing the conclusion of the war.
