EDITORIAL. NOTES
Ey 3. ID. w a us ON

WHILE so many Of our statesmen are tell
ing US so much about what help the new
currency law has been. let's look into it little
and see.
Let us take hypothetical case, for instance,
and see how much the National bankers and
spectators prospered under the help given
them by the Democratic Administration.
Last Fall, New 7 ork City Bonds were sent
down to Atlanta, Ga, for sale; these bonds,
drawing per cent interest, were offered for
sale at par-100 cents on the dollar
hr. A, an Atlanta National banker, bought
about $500 900 worth Of them. These bonds
coming under the head ofapproved securities,
Mr. A takes his $500 600 worth Of bonds and
goes to Mr.. McAdoo, and tells him he wants
$500, 900 in new currency.
are O. K, and gives Ar. A $500 900, for which
he charges Mr. A 3 per cent interest
So far Mr. 4 has bought 5000, 900 worth
of bonds, paying him 6 per cent interest; he
has taken these Same bonds to the Govern
ment, and borrowed back the $500 900 that
he paid the City Of New York for them, on
which he pays the Government 3 per cent
interest, thus leaving him clear proGt Of 3
Per cent simply for buying the bonds and
having the Treasury Department issue him
other money in place of that that he paid for
the bonds
But Mr. A does not stop heve-he takes the
$500 900 to Atlanta and tells the cotton specn-
lators, here is 100000 that you may have for
Z or s per cent interest to go out and buy up
the farmers G-cent cotton with.

tra1 Albert Pike, and Of James D. Richard.
son!
They were Christ hating Jews, who loved
and worshipped the Devil.
Qulgley's organ said it, and no Catholic
editor can tell lie
Archbishop Quigley's organ described the
master of the Inner Circle as "periured
creature enthroned in the Black Lodge, su4-
rounded by assassins.''
The editorial turnkey of this vile Chicago
archbishop says further
"The brethren of the Masonic craft may be
unwilling to accept the idea that the dev1
IS the real head Of Masonry; but if he is not,
then it is a hannana deU1 acting e1nQe7 the IN
str'uctaons Of satan.
"In that case, it is quite probable, that thts
hao''oa1o deviz IS Christ hating, God-hating,
hating, apostolic JEW"
So says the official organ Of the Romanist
high-priest, Qugley; and Quigley threatened
the Masons and Catholics generally,
scit1 TIE guns of the Knights Of Columbus
WHENe
One year after his organ had published
that horrible and murderous attack on Free
masonry-"the open door to danereotton"
And yet these Los Angeles boobies and
stool pigeons have the efrontery to tell us
that they believe they were shown the secret
papers of the fourth degree-the noizitno~y or
der eohose rifles end sqoords are ready for use
against Na8ons and other q1o1a-Catboz;c8, "at
the beck and the nod" of the Pope>s American
Quigleys, O'Connells, Tumultys' and CALI
vans
QUIGLEY SAID SO, HIMSELF, PUB
LICLT, K 1911.
In the public address alluded to, Quigley
threateningly said the knights Of Columbus
and other secret military organizations Of the
Italian papa, were ready to attack us, "the
enemy" ''at the beck and nod" Of the heads
Of the Roman church.
After that, do you suppose thai anybody
but an idiot would believe one Of those secret
military organizyations would reveal its secrets
to q real Mason?

American flag at Vera Cruz. after we sent
our fleet and troops there to force him to do
it, but he now has the audacity to visit this
country and air his views on the Mexican sit
uation in New York City
When the Venezuelan revolutionist. Castro,
wished to visit New York City, some months
ago, he was compelled to seek the aid of our
courts to do so-the Democratic Administra-
ton taking the Cement Trusts view that Cas-
tro was an undesirable citizen-but when
Huerta, the cid murderer and bandit. who had
lnsultcd us III every way possible. wished to
land in New York, he did so without any
trouble.
President Wilson's language is confusing.
e he meant it to pertain to political enc
mics, he should have selected another occasion
to throw down the gauntet-if he meant to
convey his attitude toward the European ma
tions he should have cat few Of the personal
pronouns out and substituted I'VE" for 81"
So much "" from the President upon such
an occasion smacks little of the German
Kaiser's "God and me-"
And now comes Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan
declaring for publicity as to government mat
ters because they are matters that concern the
publlc-the somewhat forgotten and discred-
tied Secretary of State declaring that such
publicity is as necessary as rs the Freedom of
the Press.
If there ever was a Secretary of State who
failed to win the confidence of his people by
keeping matters, on which the public should
have been informed, a secret, Mr.. Bryan is
the man.
But to do Mr. Bryan justice, it is quite
likely that he did not realize that he was pur-
suing d course that was taxing the patience Of
the country, because it is doubtful whether
he understood the questions Of interest with
enough intelligence to enlighten the public
Hon John Bassett Moore had quit the State
Department at this time, and Hon Robert
Lansing had not then been employed to look
after the duties required of competent Sec
rotary Of State, at time when it required
real secretary to run the department. so Mr..
Bryan had only his own ability to call upon.

profit of 3 per cent On his deal with the
Government, but added to it the or per cent
paid by the Spectator, which makes the total
10 or II per cent that Mr. A cleans up.
Then comes the spectators turn, and he
does not fail to take advantage of it.
He takes the money that he has borrowed
from Mr. A at or s per cent, goes out and
buys the farmers cotton at cents per pound,
sells it in Liverpool at - to Is cents per
pound, or ships it to Germany, where it brings
from Is to % cents per pound, and Mr.. Spec
ulator cleans up his pile.
But before the Spectator ships his cotton
across the waters he must make himself secure
by insuring it, and as the regular insurance
rates are high on account of the war, he per-
suades our Government to go into the insur-
ance business and insure this cotton for him
at $40 per bale--the Government charging
him about one-ffth the rate of insurance that
the insurance companies would have charged.
The regular insurance companies were
charging rate of about % per cent, while
the rate charged by the Government was
per cent, and this insurance was issued by
your Government on the very same cotton
that they refused to lend you money on when
it was stored In some safe warehouse.
No wonder the National bankers and spec
ulators are bowling a return Of prosperity,
for under this administration they have had
the most unlimited opportunity to practise
robbery that ever set of men had.
This administration has been godsend to
the national banker and the soeclHator, while
grinding the farmer between their mill
rocks.
To lend the farmer money on his cotton to
save him from ruin, was what President VIII
son termed paternalism that did not make
for sound government while to insure it fter
it left the farmer hands for more than twice
as much as the farmer received for it, was
good business that encouraged shipping.
This administration took the position that
the farmers did not need the rural credits
Legislation promised by the Baltimore plst-
form because the regional bank system filled
all the needed relief. and it did-for the Ma
tional banker and sDeculator-wl it forced
thousands Of cotton farmers to sacrifice their
crop at half price.
In addressing the members Of the Associated
Press, Tuesday Of last week. President Will
son made Use Of the following language re-
garding our neutrality:
My interest In the neutrality Of America
is not the petty desire to keep out Of trouble.
I do not want to walk around trouble. If
any man wants a scrap that is an interesting
scrap and worth while, I am his man. warn
him that he IS not going to draw me into the
scrap for his advertisement, but if he is look
ing for trouble that is the trouble Of men in
general, and | can help little, why then, I
am in for it,"
Just what the President meant by the above
language, is not made very clear, because his
policy has 50 plainly bel,ed his language.
sShe is referring to some political enemy,
the Language, as well as the subject, were i'll
fitted to the occasion, because he was discuss

The residence Of w. e. Rankin,
OF TamasSee, was destroyed by fire
late last Wednesday afternoon, en-
failing a considerable loss on Mr..
Rankin. The smoke and a bright
light could be seen from Walhalla
while the fire was in progress, but it
was impossible to locate the fire un-
til telephone messages came stating
that the fire was at the Rankin home
Practically all the household goods
were saved except from the dining
room and kitchen, and fortunately no
one was in any way injured. Mr..
Rankins loss will foot up TO 900
or more, and he carried insurance in
the Oconee Farmers Mutual Insur-
ance Association to the amount Of
5000. The friends Of the family
here sympathiZe with them in the
loss of their home. II is thought the
fire originated ny a spark from the
kitchen flue.
This section has been visited for
several afternoons by quite high
winds and heavy rains. No damage
Of any kind has been reported in or
around Walhalla so far as we have
heard, but in other sections the quick
storms have been more severe. In
the Fairview section. for instance,
Sunday afternoon last, the home Of
John d. MaXcy was blown over, be-
ing thrown from it's foundations and
badly damaged. Fortunately no one
was injured. On the same after
noon, in the same section, Mrs. L.
VI. Berner, while entering her home

premises in buggy, sustained Sc
we're bruises. She had just driven
into the house lot, but had not alight-
! ed, when the heavy wind lifted the
buggy from the ground, throwing
her therefrom and so badly fright
ened the mule that was hitched to
the buggy that it tore loose from
the vehicle. The buggy was blown
over and over and almost completely
demolished. Mrs. Berner was badly
seriously injured, and it is thought
that she will be all right within
short time. 1t was a close call for
her, however. A report Of injury
that comes from territory quite near
to Walh ALA had its origin at the res
! idence Of Mrs. NJ. A. Pool, who lives
| about two miles southwest Of town.
| In this instance the residence was
| ing the house and the shock render
ing two members or the family un-
conscious. All Of the occupants Of
the house-Mrs. Pool and three
aughterS--were affected by the
shock. Mrs. Pool and one daughter
were able yesterday to be up and
about, but two Of the family were
still suffering from the effects Of the
shock. Physicians have been attend
ing the injured members Of the fam
lily, and it is thought that all will
be entirely well within a few days.
Their friends here sympathize with
them in their unpleasant situation,
! but rejoice that what might have
been fatal stroke proved only one
OF minor injuries.
