| When the republican party returns
to power with the first session of the
Sixty-sixth congress it will be con-
fronted by the most serious problems
of financial reconstruction in the his
tory Of governments. During the last
Is months the American government
has expended about twice as much
money as any other for the same per-
iod. The greater portion of this mon
ey, however, was collected on loans;
despite enormous revenue bills, the
government is still spending nearly
three times as much every month as
it gets in taxes.
In the United States treasury at
the present time is $3.50, 000, 900 in
gold; more gold than was ever there
before; twice as much gold as was
ever assembled in the treasury of any
other country known in history. But
for every dollar of gold the govern
ment owes to private creditors about
$40. And in the face of this enormous
and constantly increasing indebted
hess the democratic majority in the
last congress celebrated it's demise by
passing a rivers and harbors bill
which is said to contain more swag
than any of it's long list Of infamous
predecessors. The deserving demo-
Gratis realized that power was slipping
away and they assembled for one last
big raid On the treasury before re-
publican watchdogs could be placed
on guard.
Never in it's history has the republi-
can party failed to honor a trust re-
posed in it; never has it flinched be-
fore it's plain duty by reason of OBJ
stacles in the way. But it is a labor
of Hercules to reduce the cost of gov
eminent to an equilibrium between re-
ceipts and expenditures. Great emer-
gencies are said to create great men
but to this rule the financial follies
of the sixty-fifth congress present a
glaring exception. Chairman Kitchin
of the Ways and Means committee of
the house of representatives vas hon
est and sincere; but he lacked alike fl
nancial genius or financial sense. His
attempts to coordinate income and
expense at times approached the gro
! tesque. He was a few degrees less
practical than Mark Twain's famous
Mulberry Sellers" AS a watchdog
of the treasury he proved a bowling
farce. When Mr.. McAdoo resigned

"FALL OF BARBARY COAST"
is FILM SENSATION

NJ
The first public showing of the
"Fall of Barbary Coast" the Rev.
Paul Smiths dramatic motion picture
triumph, was staged in San Francis
co, amid scenes and conditions which
write a spectacular page in the book
of motion picture history. 1t was
significant that the first showing of
the Fall of Barbary Coast" was held
in San Francisco. The film is based
upon Mr.. Smiths successful fight
which closed the notorious Barbary
Coast in that far west metropolis.
The city flocked to see it. Powdered,
painted and perfumed, habitues of the
tenderloin crowded their way into the
theatre. They jostled members of
the church. Vice sat side by side with
virtue. Responsibility and dishonor
actually rubbed elbows. Silently this
strange audience viewed "The Fall Of
Barbary Coast" Swiftly the story
sped on. The audience sat spellbound.
Then, as the closing scene faded out
and the lights flashed on the audience
presented a unique psychological
study. Many eyes were wet, painted
women wore scornful sneers-that is,
some did. Others were openly, cry

and show him to the people his true
self-a grating b~row-beater.
Every radical extremist, atheist and
I. w. W. has rallied to his call. But
through the referendum. his pet leg
islation-to mobilize his subsidized
J newspapers; his immigration bill-to
, extort 5000, 900 from the state treas
ury: his educational bill-to place the
schools on a par with the alms-house,
the reformatory. asylum and peniten-
tiary, have reacted and the boomer
ang has returned with increasing We
locity and struck his political anat-
omy a fatal blow.
However, the organization founded
by the theoretical socialist and prac-
teal gambler, though it has been cost
ly to the producers, has accomplished
something.
Emboldened by the well stick" slo-
gan of it's leaders a number of trait
ors have thrown off the mask of
Americanism and, during the war dar-
ed to preach their enemy doctrines,
only to meet condemnation in public
opinion if not in courts. 1t has eN-
emplified to the anti-American that
he cannot hide behind a political bar
rage. 1t has shown the p%rofiteer that
his armor is not invlunerable. 1t has
established the fact that the press
the moulder of public opinion-camnot
be entirely corrupted by promises of
quick-gained wealth or threats of fl
nancial ruin.
Lastly, but not the least important,
it has proven to those who pledged to
"stick" and shut their ears and eyes
to everything but Townleyism, that it
is much safer and less costly to put
more faith in the American people
proper than it is to bestow autocratic
powers upon one social Performer
whose political creed is mere political

ARTILLERY FIRE VAST.

Washington, April 19.-Further evil
dence Of the tremendous Importance
of artillery in modern warfare, shown
by official records of the war depart
ment, was made public today. The av-
erage rounds fired monthly, according
to these figures, increased from $3.50
in the Crimean war, to 12,71O,OO0 IN
1918.
In 1864 the entire union forces ex-
pended 100000 rounds of artillery
ammunition, while in 1918 the combln-
ed British, French and American bat
teries shot away 16O,615,ooo rounds
In the same period the approximate
number of rounds per gun per day
has increased from four in the Civil
war to 35 in 1918.

PALMER DECLARES PEACE,

Attorney General Palmer doesn't
seem to count the fact that we are
not at peace with Germany. Several
sedition charges against magazine
writer's indicted under the espionage
act have been dismissed. Mr.. Palmer
having suggested that the ends of JUS
tice would thus best be served in view
of hostilities with Germany having
ended. 1t would appear on the sur
face, at least. that whether HOSTILE
ties had ceased or not should have no
effect ON these cases. The result
should rest on whether or not the in
dicted persons are guilty. Just be-
cause the war is over" is no sign
their seditious utterances did no harm
before the armistice was signed. Such
action on the part of the attorney gen.
eral is a bad example to set for the
future.

ANOTHER THRONE HAS

After having held the state IN the

ed up to with so much confidence as
was this tall, thin Creosus, who I'M

flimflammed Twin City business men
out of a quarter of a million and left
them no comeback; who tried the IA

itors out of $4,000. who was at one
time state organizer for the socialists;
who never made a success Of anything
in his life until he organized a new
political party.
With an iron nerve, shifting eye and
grand-stand display of oratory, he be-
came idolized by thousands. No sooth-
sayer of olden times, black witch of
darkest Africa, or Confusion jade jug
gler ever so beguiled, dominated and
%plundered their ignorant, simple-mind-
ed followers as did this colossal bluff
fer beguile, dominate and plumber an
intelligent, shrewd and prosperous
people of a progressive state.
He was both oracular and ridiculous
and a keen judge of human nature.
But, his shrewdness was enveloped in
cunning. He revelled in the limelight
and "played to the galleries" at all
public functions. On more than one
occasion he has appeared in the aud
n which he was about to address
and, from some unsuspecting individ-
ual, borrow a white collar, shirt or
coat and appear on the platform with
patched knees on his trousers and his
feet showing through his shoes. On
these occasions his speech was that
of the dow%n-trodden, enslaved tiller
Of the soil. 1t is said this also was
his apparel and vernacular, when he
made the much advertised visit to the
nations capital.
Yet, when seen in western Montana,
Nebraska, Texas or New York, he
is again the suave promoter, immacu-
lately dressed, with the bearing of a
Pittsburgh millionaire. He writes
checks for thousands which are always
honored. When not transforming
against "Big Biz" and counting checks
for league membership, store stock,
bank stock, ETC., or planning more rad
ical legislation, he adjourns to his
country home at M%innetonka.
Alas! He may still write checks
for thousands, possibly a million or
two; he may still appear in immac-
ulate apparel-there is need for little
else. But what the maid Delilah did
to ancient Sampson is as naught com
pared to what the Car of North Da-
kota is having done to him by the
men whom he once domineered, bull,
lied, cajoled and whom he directly
placed in political control of the state,
no wweary of his tyranny.
Not only do these members of his
pet legislature scott at his threats,
. but use his own newspapers to strip
him of every vestige of redemption

Some people play a lone hand. They
do not form much attachment to the
place where they live, and do not par
ticularly regret leaving it if they
have to move. And no one weeps any
tears when they pack up and go. They
respond to no calls for cooperation.
And no n feels any particular de-
sire to help them along. The COM
munity gains little from their pres
ence. And a town made up of that
kind of people is a dead me-.
Then there are those who feel an
intense loyalty to their home town
and all the people living there, to all
its undertakings and enterprises. 1t
is partly sentimental affection, partly
a keen sense of practical business val
ue in cooperation and team work.
Glasgow has a lot of these folks. Its
progress is due to them. They feel
a cordial interest in all our towns
people. You a depend upon their
hearty support for any community eff
fort, for any community project. Ev-
cry local enterprise has their backing.
In so far as that idea prevails, the
town will realize it's possibility.

The Grenada sentinel. [volume] (Grenada, Miss.) 1868-1955, 1919-04-04

For the years there have been a coterie of men in the United
States Army which have been trying to inocuate the country
with the virus Of universal military training. The war with
Germany has served to increase the volubility of this crowd.
They are now camoufaging many things with this countrys
"unpre-paredness" when we entered the war. But they will
not put it over"
One Of the chief reasons why we say that universal military
people do not want it and the main reason for their not want
ing 1t is that the country does not need it and, too, that this war
has taught that there are too many jackasses among Army Off
GERS.
We hazard the statement that there has hardly been a bigger
lie published than the one sent out from Washington and which
appeared in the daily press on the 18th, to the effect that the
selective service men of Camp Devens, Mass, had been POI
and that a vast majority of the 18th Division favored universal
military training.
We are from Missouri. If the 18th Division signed up as ia
vorlng universal military training, it is dollars to d%oughnuts
them the paper, and while they knew that he could not make
them sign it, yet they thought that he would make them darned
sorry if they did not sign it. Those boys wanted to get out,
and that just as quickly as possible, and they thought signing
was the best way to keep the officers in a happy and discharg-
ing frame of mind. .~--A f=s-
Recent disclosures about court martials and Army orders

Tire order, which appeared in the Congressional Record, of

ing at a social function where the privates were being enter
tanned, is repulslve to the spirit of a true American. This is
but one of a thousand similar instances of Army autocracy.

How Diphtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression.
"My child caught a severe cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and keep him
off the street until fully recovered.
as there is a hundred times more dan
ger of his taking diphtheria when he
has a cold. When Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given it quickly
cures the cold and lessons the danger
of diphtheria or any other germ di-
sease being contracted.
