Sam Venerable, an aged colored
man. for 80 years a familiar figure in
Paris, died at his home in this city,
writes Tom Bodine, in the Paris (Mo)
Mercury. and 1t is not out OF place
TO say that former Paris people, wher-
ever they be, will pause with little
touch OF regret on reading the an
nouncement. Sam stood for much that
was distinctive in the life OF the old
er Missouri towns like Paris 40 ears
ago, and Is elshrined In the memory
OF multitude. He was hideously
ugly. yet very beautiful by reason OF
the unfailing courtesy he showed on
all occasions. Sam liked everybody
ana could be happy under the direst
circumstances.
Back In the days when cordwood
was not a curiosity he oficiated at
every woodpile in Paris, and his COM
ing was always an event to the chill
uren OF the family, whose sast friend
ne was. Never was prettier music
than the ring OF Sans double-bitted
ak on a frosty morning. and. as we
recollect now. lobby could talk In
dian half so well as he or awaken
laughter more eager or more Joyous.
All In all. those were famous au.
tumn mornings. and looking back now

'sninenykoss" was Indian, Bulgarian,
Plattdeutsch, or Just nothing at all.
we don't know and we don't care
IL expressed something that was in
the heart, and that sufTices. Roots
and stems are immaterial.
True. Sam got drunk, but SO did
the white folks for that matter
drunkenness was associated with
gentility not so long ago-but one
thing could always be said in Sans
favor. The drunker he got the hap
pier he got. and the more courteous
and deferential he became. True also
that on such occasions, though not
often. he yelled" But still, how
ever, notwithstanding, every man,
colored or white, bond or free, is en-.
Titled to yell now and then. whether
ne really has anything to yell about or
not.
AS for Sam, we are quite sure he
Is walking up the golden streets this
autumn morning, smiling happily on
old friends.

INAUGURATION OF NEW CURRENCY
SYSTEM
SYSTEM.

On November 10th, the new Currency sys-
tenn will be put into effect all over the country.
The II regional Government controlled banks
will begin business banks for bankers This
system contains the best and most valuable fea-
lures to be found in the banking systems of the
entire world and it will be the beginning of the
greatest era OF prosperity known, and it will
be an era that panics will be able to puncture
The great benefit to be derived from these new
banks is easily explained. For instance, suppose
bank loans 100000 to the business men of its
community, and more business men wanted an
other $4,000 which the bank could not spare.
Under the old or present system the last set of
men would go without the loan and so business
and industry would suffer accordingly, in that
town or county. Under the new system, the local
bank would deposit the securities it received as
for the first loan, with the Government
Regional bank and borrow the SIS, 900 therefrom
at about four per cent and then lend out at about
5 per cent 50 under this system no legitimate in
dustry can never suffer for want of money and +
financial panics will be impossible

THE CRIME OF THE AGES.

Three million Belgians now are face to face
with starvation. Thousands of them are perish
ing from hunger and the food supply of the re-
mainder is exhausted, or nearly so
The condition is appalling It is unthinka-
bic that such condition could occur in the tven-
tieth century. The Belgans among the
thriftiest people of the whole world They were
industrious, economical, law abiding. They
wanted war with nobody. When they had great
strike year ago, the workmen carefully protected
tie property OF their employers from harm in any
scrt of way. If mines had to be kept pumped out
= Pevent deterioration, the miners, without cost
- the owners, kept the pumps working day and
night. 1t was the most remarkable, the most in
telllgent, the most successful strike that ever oc-
Cured in the history of the world
Yet, because of a war for the making of which
they had absolutely responsibility their proper
ty has been destroyed, their savings taken from

THE CLAYTON ANTITRUST LAW.

The Clayton antitrust law clears the Sher-
man law of ambiguity. 1t tells business, big and
little, what it can and what it cannot do. 1t
strengthens the hitherto existent antitrust legis-
lation, by that prime requisite of effectiveness
clean-cut definition.
How important that function is, how neces-
sary to proper enforcement of the laws against
trusts and monopolies becomes evident from an
examination of the history of antitrust procedure
in the courts.
There has been no hiding place in which ac-
tual incipient monopolistic conspiracy has
sought refuge often, than the claim that it
required actual trial by jury, and after that the
decision of an appellate court, to determine in
specific instances, whether or not the antitrust
law had been violated.
Though this assertion was in many cases pal
pably subterfuge, put forward to make profess
ed ignorance the cloak for misdong sometimes
it advanced with at least the appearance of sin
cerity-it assumed the g11ise of real desire to
know what the law meant, and was accompanied
with avowal of a wish to obey the law, provided
the meaning of the law could be definitely settled
Whether sham as it usually was, or genuine,
as it now and then gave tokens of being, this in
sstence, that the antitrust law was inadequate as
an explanation of its own meaning, had tendency
to impair the efficacy of the law as a working
instrument.
woodrow Wilson, coming into the White
Rouse, resolved to grapple directly and boldly
with the conditions which njuring the eff
cheney of the antitrust law in its practical oper-
alton The Clayton bill, which has just received
the Presidents signature, and its corollary, the
Trade Commission bill, are the logical results of
that resolution. Henceforth there will be no
doubtful in the Interpretation of the antitrust
law This clarifying of the law will be an immense
benefit to the business community. The honest
man, the honest enterprise, will be sure of their
footing The dishonest, either in organized ag-
gregation, or Individually can no longer avail
themselves of obscurity of the law to escape the
OF dishonesty.

Them their houses burned, their crops pilaged
and trodden down by masses of cavalry and in
fantry, the young men have been killed and wound
ed and children driven into exile or left in their
ruined country to starve.
The spoilation of Belgium is the blacklist
crime that ever has been perpetrated in the history
OF the world and somebody will have to give
fearful for it before the bar of eternal Jus
tice.
But what is occurring in Belgium sooner or
later will occur in other countries of Europe
When hundred million people are hungry the war
will end soon, because human nature will not per
init such outrages to continue. 1t has the power
and will it to topple monarches, if necessary.

As TO THE GOVERNOR.

The voters of Arizona on last Tuesday re-
buked Governor Hunt for his policies, SO far as
his reprieve power has been exercised and repudi-
ated his sentimntal argument m favor of the
abolshnnt of capital punishment. That the Cow
ernor was returned to office is accounted for by
the fact that the opposing parties offered weak
candidates for the position and at the same time
the republicans were divided The people of Ari-
iona have declared in favor of the enforcement Of
the law by the Chief Executive of the State as he
finds it written in the Statutes of Arizona regard
less of his personal sentiments His duty is to
execute them; not place his personal opinions
above the law We hope the Governor will read
the returns Alright Any further attempt his part
to the necks of the red handed assassins now
confined in Florence will not be tolerated by the
people.

That the real meaning, from legal stand
point of the Prohibition amendment will be test
ed in the courts is certainty. The movement has
already been launched. 1t is natural that men who
are being deprived of their business, amoutningto
hundreds of thousands of dollars, should fight to
the last ditch But all we can see in the test is
delay The majority sentiment in Arizona is dry
and at the end of the legal procedure Arizona will
be found IN the dry column of states which in the
election just closed increased by three, Colo
RADIO and Washington having gone dry along with
Arizona The fact that Arizona went dry, under
the most drastic law ever drawn bearing upon this
subject, shows the trend of public sentiment

The county officials for the ensuing two years
have been chosen We hope that each any every
one of them animated by the laudable ambition
to so conduct Ills office that the expense Of county
administration may be placed at the minimum
The present industrial conditions in the state call
for the strctest economy in public as well as pr-
vate affairs. The newly elected legislature has a
great work to perform in the interest of the tax
payers of the state. We hope they will undertake
their task in serious and painstaking manner and
WELD the of economy without fear or favor and
in non-partisan manner

If conditions in Sonora is a sample of the poll
ces General Carranza has been trying to naugu-
rate throughout Mexico there is no wonder that
the people of that country won't stand for him.
The principal effort in Sonora since Carranza has
been in power has been to depose Governor May
torena; who was elected as chief executive of the
state at the same time the lamented Francisco Ma
dro was elected as president of the republic. There
has been no oher reason for the elimination of
Maytorna except to make grating easier in the
state What would the people of the United
States think OF an effort in this country to de-
pose governor of one of our states simply be-
cause he differed with the views of President Will
son.

The big surprise Of the election from nation

The big surprise of the election from nation
al viewpoint is the big republican gain in congress
.Old line republicans including ''Uncle Joe'' Can

democratic majority in congress has dwindled
from 40 to approximately "a 1t was in truth

IN the face of the fact that the present Congress

presented herself to their Office and
