Russia is very wabbly on her feet,
and unless she strengthens up and
does her share the war is likely to be
much prolonged. There can be but
one outcome of the desperate strug-
gle of the Teutonic autocracy to over
come the rest of the world. The only
in the matter appertains
to the length of time to bring about
the inevitable result.

Students Enlist for War Service.

One hundred and seventy-four stu
dents at the Louisiana State Univer-
sity have enlisted for war service Of
various kinds. This patriotic spirit is
in keeping with the traditions of L.
S. u, and is what was expected by
those who know the response her stu
dents made to the calls of 81 and '98.
Of the above number, 90 are enrolled
in the officers training camp at Fort
Logan H. Roots, 16 are in the national
guard, one in the marine corps, and
65 engaged in farm work.

T. D. Sullivan, trusted clerk in
the New Orleans postofice for fifteen
or twenty years, was arrested last
week for alleged embezzlement of
government funds and confessed to
Postmaster Janvier the loss of about
$500 in betting on the races. This
is but one of many like instances Of
the pernicious influence and deplora-
BILE effects of the race horse game"
which is claimed to be necessary to
the business prosperity of the biggest
city in the south.

Lest we forget that New Orleans
was threatened with bubonic plague
menace which Uncle Sans public
health doctors tackled and throttled,
it may be well to mention that a
plague infected rat was found there
as recently as April 8. The pernici-
Gus critters are getting scarce as hens
teeth, nearly, but there should be no
let-up in the ratproofing campaign
until the city is rendered as impervi-
Gus to recurrence Of the malady as
is humanity possible.

The governor of Pennsylvania has
refused to sign extradition papers for
the transfer Of Harry X. Thaw to
New York, where the miserable per-
vert is wanted for trial on a charge of
assaulting a Kansas City schoolboy.
Thaw having been declared insane by
a Pennsylvania court, the governor
properly contends that the interdict
should not be surrendered to the au-
horities of another state, but is re-
CURED to be confined in a lunatic
asylum.

Versus Delinquent Tax Debtors, Parish of Ascension
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1917-08-31
THE RIOT SITUATION

The feeling throughout the Leat
Belt regarding the industrial unrest
is with each succeeding day, becom.
ing less tense. There is a well defined
reason for this in the growing i'm.
preston that both parties to the con,
troversy are apparently showing 8
disposition to. recognize some meas,
ure of blame for the cause which led
up to the outbreak. This assures a
starting point for an amicable ad.
justment which we believe can be
worked out if both the men and the
companies will recognize that both
have rights which must be respected
and carefully considered.
1t might be argued that the trouble
is about all over and that what little
remains is gradually wearing itself
out. This apparently is true on the
surface, but beneath there is room for
doubt, and this doubt will remain until
some definite understanding is reach
ed. The question then arises, how can
an adjustment be reached when only
one party to the controversy is organ
lied? Who has authority to speak for
the men, and after they have spoken
what assurance can be given that the
agreements reached can be carried
out?
The only solution of this knotty
problem is a community organization
led by men in whom the great major
ity of the people have the utmost con-
fidence, and who would be in posi-
ton to guarantee that every interest
would get an absolutely square deal
An effort is being made now to work
out plan for an organization of this
kind. Whether or not it will be sue
cessful is problematical, but at any
rate it is worth trial.-Lead Belt

of the people of the United States.
The money is to come from the annual
income and production of the country
which now amount to fifty billion. The
yearly agricultural production of the
United States is more than ten bill
lion dollars and the mineral produc-
ton three billion. The profits of con-
yerting raw material into finished
products amount annually to ten bill
lion dollars. These are just some of
our main sources of annual income.
The raising of money by the sale of
bonds and the expenditure of that
money for purposes of war are not
going to injure or destroy the produc-
tive capacity Of our fields, factories
or mines. There is waste in war, and
a great deal of waste, but war is not
all waste. The actual waste in this
war may be more than made up by
the speeding up of our industries IN
der the stimulus of the war.
There is going to be loss by reason
of this war-wealth shot away in
battle and wealth sunk at sea. And
there is going to be loss Of some of.
Americas bravcst sons. But the price
is one that America is willing to pay,
that her fighting men and her people
are willing to paw, for the maintenance
of our rights and of our national hon
or, the cause of democracy, the pres
ervation of liberty and civilization and
humanity. The loss caused by war
will be small, indeed, compared to the
worth of these things, to America and
to the world.

Plan for Advertising Next. Liberty
Loan--Big Papers Favored

A detailed plan for advertising the
next issue of Liberty Loan bonds in
newspapers and other mediums OF
publicity to cost from S1,000,000 tt
100000, and to be paid for by the
government, was presented the other
day to Secretary McAdoo by the ma.
tional advertising advisory board
with the recommendation that it be
adopted.
On the basis of an expenditure Of
81 100000 the following distribution Of
the fund was suggested: Daily, month
ly and weekly papers, including those
printed in foreign languages, 100000;
farm papers, S100,000; small town
dailies and weeklies 100000. The
mediums which the board proposes to
use are detailed as follows: Newspa-
pers, magazines, farm papers, bust
ness press, painted bulletins, bill
boards, street cars, DETERMINATIONS
house organs and factory bulletins.
In commenting up this enterprise
Wright A. Patterson, editor-in-che
of the Western Newspaper Union,
very sensibly says:
The national advertising advisory
board in proposing to Secretary Nc
Adoo that the government spend ST.
100000 in advertising the next Lib
erty Loan would give of this sum to
the country daily and weekly press the
munifcent amount Of $100,000-one-
tenth of the total.
At the same time it would spend, ac-
cording to the program submitted,
100000 with the metropolitan daily,
monthly and weekly publications. 1t
would also spend, still according to
the program, 100000 with the farm
papers, and another 100000 for bill
board advertising.
The proposition, so far as it ap-
plies to the country daily and weekly
press, is an insult to the publishers
of these papers.

PROPOSALS OF LEAGUE
TO ENFORCE PEACE

We believe it to be desirable for the
United States to join league of ma
tons binding the signatories to the
following:
First: All justiciable questions
arising between the signatory powers,
not settled by negotiation, shall, sub
ject to the limitations of treaties, be
submitted to the judicial tribunal for
hearing and Judgment, both upon the
merits and upon any issue as to its
jurisdiction of the question.
Second: All other questions aris-
ing between the signatories and not
settled by negotiation shall be sub
mitted to council of Cancellation for
hearing, consideration and recommen-
dalton.
Third: The signatory powers shall
jointly use forthwith both their eco
nomic and military forces against any
one OF their number that goes to war,
or commits acts of hostility, against
another of the signatories before any
question arising shall be submitted as
provided in the foregoing.*
Fourth: Conferences between the
slgnatory powers shall be held from
time to time to formulate and codify
rules of international law, which, I'M
less some signatory shall signify its
dissent within stated period, shall
thereafter govern in the decisions of
the Judicial Tribunal mentioned in
Article One.
*The following Interpretation of Ar
ticle 8 has been authorized by the EX-
ecutive Committee:
"The signatory powers shall joint
ly employ diplomatic and economic
pressure against any one of their
number that threatens war against q
fellow signatory without having first
submitted it's dispute for international
inquiry, Cancellation, arbitration or
judicial hearing, and awaited con-
clusion, or without having in good
faith offered so to submit it. They
shall follow this forthwith by the
joint use of their military forces
against that nation if it actually goes
to war, or commits acts of hostility,
against another of the signatories be-
fore any question arising shall be
dealt with as provided in the forego-
ing"

Stop for q moment and figure il
out. There is a total Of more than
$1,000 country dailies and weekly
newspapers in the United States. Di-
viding 100000 equally among all of
these would mean approximately 1926
each. It is safe to say, however, that
the country daily press would get a
larger proportion of the total than
would go to the country weekly press,
and it is doubtful if the weekly papers
would get more than an average of
$500. Out Of this sum would come
the usual agents commissions and the
cost of preparing plates, and with
these deductions the publishers Of
weekly papers would be fortunate if
they received as much as So each, or
about enough to pay for one column
Of advertising at the average price of
the country weekly papers.
There are something like 500 metro
politan papers published in towns
ranging from $4,000 upward. If $780,
coo of the proposed 100000 was set
aside for the national weekly and
monthly publications it would still
leave approximately $1,000 for each
Of these metropolitan dailies, and af-
ter paying commission there would be
enough to buy an average of more
than two full pages of space in each
Of these 500 papers at their average
rate.
If it is advisable for the govern
ment to spend sufficient money to pay
for two pages of space in the metro
politan press at their rates, it is equal
ly advisable that the government
spend a sufficient sum with the coun-
try daily and weekly newspapers to
buy two pages Of space in each Of
these publications at their rates.
1t is very evident from the proposal
that the national advertising
advisory board is not friendly to the
country daily and weekly newspapers.
