business, and others will have to go
out OF business through inability to get
paper even at the advanced price,

Several joint resolutions have been
in the house and senate
looking to the submission to the peo-
pie Of the question Of callingia a con-
stitutional convention. So Ear, no
good reason has been advanced why a
constitutional convention should be
held. About all the information that
can be gathered is that certain people
want the convention because they want
1t. All such bills have to go to the
the judiciary committee Of the house
and 30 far that committee has not
looked favorably upon the proposition.
One Of the members puts 1t like this:
1.-The supreme court has just about
finished the Interpretation Of the con-
stitution Of 1895 until we understand
1t. The people have so far ratified ev-
cry amendment to the constitution
that the general assembly has seen
proper to propose and there is no rea-
SON to suppose that they will turn
down any other good sensible amend
ment that may be necessary. The
holding Of convention would mean a
lot Of profitless agitation and in the
event it should be called lot Of heavy
expense. There is not single sug-
gestion before the people that would
seem to warrant. serious consideration
along this line" Such is now the
view of majority Of the judiciary
committee. and SO far as can be learn
ed, there is no reason to anticipate that
this view will be changed.

The news print paper situation is
steadily and surely growing more des-
perate than il has ever been. When
the Federal trade commission some
time ago fixed the price of print paper
at 1910 t. o. b., manufacturers openly
declared that they could better afford
to close their mills than try to sell pa
per at less than 81. They gave as a
reason increased cost of chemicals,
higher cost of labor, and Inability to
get labor at any price. November re-
ports showed that eleven of 81 news
print producing mills had gone out of
business. and many other maRufactu-
rers are saying that they do not see
any way Of continuing to live except by
converting their machinery to other
kinds Of paper. The production Of
news print in 1918 is said to have been
1000 tons short Of what would
have been expected in normal times.
Authoritative statements are to the ef-
feet that many large papers are max
ing contracts with the paper mills at
"a per hundred, and usually such con-
tracts involve the entire output of the
mills concerned. 1t is freely predicted
that many established papers will have
to still further raise prices or go out of

DIR. Karl Ldebknecht and Rosa
lLuxemburg, leaders Of the Spartican
Irevolutionaries in Germany, were
llynched in Berlin last Friday night.
lIiebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg are
held responsible for the uprising
against the Ebert government, which
uprising resulted in much street hight
ing and several hundred deaths on
both sides. When eventually the gov
ernment got the upper hand OF the SIT
uation and dispersed the Spardcans,
DR.. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg
were not to be found. There was tre-
mendous excitement against the two
and there was no reason to doubt that
that they would be lynched II the mob
could lay hands on them. Detectives
listening at tapped wires overheard q
telephone conversation between DR..
ILebknecht and Rosa Luxembourg,
making an appointment to meet at the
house Of q man named Morcusson,
where the Sparticans had been holding
meetings After their arrest they We're
started to prison by different routes In
automobiles guarded by soldiers. The
automobile in which 'Lebknecht was
riding, broke down from punctured
tire. It was necessary to wait for an
other car. Liebknecht tried to run and
was shot between the shoulder. The
car in which Rosa Luxembourg was De-
ing carried to prison was stopped on
the street by great bowling mob. A
man climbed into the car and shot the
woman through the head. The body
was carried away, and the soldiers
were unable to find any trace OF 1t.
DR.. Liebknecht was a native Of Ger
many, and Socialist He was violent
ly opposed to the war and as q mem
ber of the reichstag voted against ap-
propriating money with which TO carry
It on. BY this act he sacrificed a large
part of his Socialist following. which
had become imbued with lust for. con-
quest. He tried to keep out OF the
army; but was made to serve In the
engineers on the Russian trout until
I'M jured by falling tree. He continu-
ed his agitation against mflitarism and
kaiserism while in the army, and be-
cause of speech made In 1915 against
kaiserism and >militarism was convict
ed of gross insubordination and resist
ance to the authorities and sentenced
to four years imprisonment. He was
released from prison early In Noyem-
ber and Immediately resumed his ac-
tiyites, taking the lead Of the ex-
treme element Of Socialists, under the
name Of Sparticans. Rosa Luxemburg
was a Pole, graduate Of Heidelburg
and an economic student in Switzer-
land. She married "Dr." Lubbock In
Germany, mainly for the purpose OF
acquiring German citizenship. Because
of the violence Of her Socialistic actty-
| tiles she had been in prison until early
| in November; but 1t Is said that she
had almost everything to do with
bringing about the revolt among sol
diers in the army and among the sail
ors at Kiel. It is said that she had the
power to set men afire with her ora
| tory. She is commonly credited with
having been the brains Of the Sparti-
Gus movement the real man In the
movement instead Of Lebknecht.

General elections of delegat IS to the
proposed constituent assembly were
held throughout Germany on Sunday.
and were attended with much disorder.
There were serious election riots
throughout the rural districts all over
the empire and much other disorder.
The killing Of DR.. Lebknecht and Rosa
Luxembourg in Germany recently. fg-
ured largely in these disorders, Social
lists generally and Sparticans especial
ly, accusing the government OF mur-
der. 1t is not yet clear what the out
come Of the elections will be; whether
they will be regarded as sufficiently
representative to command confidence
or whether they will leave the situa-
ton less chaotic than It was before. 1t
is suggested that the Eber- -Scheide-
mann government may change its
mind about the call Of the constituent
assembly appointed for Febr aary Is.

The report of the French commits
sion, consisting Of Ferdinand Larnaude
and DR.. A. G. Laplaw, appointed by the
government, to investigate the criminal
cuipabiiity of Kaiser William. etc.. has
been filed. The report holds that as
the head of the German nation. with
individual authority, claimed to be de-
rived only from God, instead OF the
people. the kaiser should be held tndt-
vidually responsible for all the offenses
against right, justice and the laws q
God perpetrated by his direct comS
mand. Orders Of the kaiser are quoted
to show that he ordered murder, ra-
pine and arson. The commission holds
that the kaiser should be tried by tri-
bunal especially constituted from
among the nations that are at war with
Germany.

Governor Manning has sent to Il

Governor Manning has sent TO the
senate with his veto Senator BanKs's
bill to insure cotton in state ware
houses by the sinking fund commits
sion. The idea of the bill is to give
cotton farmers insurance at nearly
cost. and also make a fair profit for
the sinking fund capital employed in
the business. Also the bill contemplat-
ed taking away from the insurance
companies the power they now have
saying where cotton shall and shall
not be stored. Governor Manning
gives 6 number of more or less specious
reasons for his veto, as was fully an
ticipated he would do. Nobody expect
ed him to sign the bill and the only
way he could have surprised anybody in
connection with it would have been by
vetoing it last winter. But the men
who pull the strings for the governor
were too smart for that, as to have had
such an issue in the campaign would
have been awkward, to say the least Of

Tho Business Of II.

The farmers Of York county are bet
ter off right now than they have ever
been.
We mean the farmers as whole
and from financial standpoint.
But the reason the farmers are bet
ter Off is because they have given more
attention to the production Of food
stuffs during the past two years than
they have ever given before.
War conditions have induced people
to make at home many of the things
they have previously been buying from
abroad. and they have been able to
save the money that they would have
otherwise paid out for these things.
= The lesson Of the situation Is to keep
on with the practice Of the past two
years.
Raise all supplies at home and then
raise all the cotton that can be raised
as surplus.
This plan will. II followed out, DOM
mate the situation for every man who
practices it.
