Mr.. Fry, who has been for ten years deputy
warden at the state prison, has resigned that
job to become city manager for McAlester

THE DAYS OF DOUBT,

just little more than year ago linden
burg started his last big offensive against
the French and British fronts. With all the
might of his terrible battering ram he drove
them backward, crumpling them up day af-
ter day until it seemed that there was no
stopping them-that France was doomed
Germany knew that America was hasten
ing her forces forward, but also that they
were not yet on the ground in force sufi-
cient to be of effective help. And the whole
German aim was to finish the job before the
Americans arrived.
Those were the days when the world stood
in doubt.
But the French and British fought on, val
iantly, doggedly. They held at every point
until it meant humiliation to hold longer.
Then they drew back and dug in for another
defense. They lost miles and miles of terri
tory, but they kept on fighting, taking ter
rife toll for every foot they gave
All the while American troops were arrv-
ing, and were being given intensive training
in the newer arts of killing And finally they
took their places in the trenches. Then came
Verdun, Chateau Thierry st. Mihiel The
Argonne. And then the armistice.
Today we are in the midst of the DAYS of
doubt once more.
The big victory has been won. America
has been saved from the Hun menace, Eu-
rope rescued and peace is ours again, but its
debts are still unpaid. And once more the
issue depends upon the Americans-not the
Americans in name only but the loyal, ever
dependent, red-booded true-hearted fellows
who are Americans in very truth, the pillars
Of our government.
There are thousands of others, the croak-
ers and claquers and shirkers who are doubt
ing that the Victory liberty loan can be put
over, who claim that they have gone the
limit; have loaned all they can; who loaned
grudgingly as long as they felt in danger,
and quit cold once the victory was won;
who have this excuse or that. but who
will cross the street before they will meet
a man in uniform and tell him why they are
breaking faith with him.
But don't be alarmed. This Victory loan
is going over.
The Americans will do the trick once
more.

TOO MANY SPENDERS.

1t is greatly to be hoped that these
tax equalizers" will accomplish some
thing. And they, certainly, are entitled
to full cooperation on the part of the
public-Augusta Chronicle.
For years there has been constant effort
in legislative bodies to find more revenue"
without regard to the interest or welfare
of those who furnish the revenue-the pay
ers of taxes.
Legislative bodies have been getting con-
stantly more extravaganza year after year
They have been spending money at a rate
excusable only on the assumption that some
where the nation and the state possess
ed inexhaustible reservoirs of wealth which
no one had to create and everyone might
spend. When the time comes to make APP
preparations the heads of departments and
others who spend the money are heard. Sell
dom is a voice lifted in behalf of the com
mon citizen, who pays the freight"
1t is to be hoped that in the legislature
which is soon to meet there will be at least
one man who will speak out in meeting and
plead the cause Of plain John Smith and
Mary Jones, and thousands of others who
are in reality taxed without representation.
1t is everybody's business to spend public
money, but nobody's business to save any

WOMEN AND THE SALOON

The most remarkable feature of the re-
cent Chicago election was the overwhelming
number of women who voted to retain the
saloons compared with the number who vot-
ed to GUST them. The saloon rallying cry
was, "Let congress hear your protest" The
purpose of the vote in favor of retaining
the saloons was to influence congress to re-
peal the war prohibition measure under
which the country will be dry from July list
until the prohibition amendment becomes
operative. The advocates of dry city made
no campaign.
On this issue PATH women voted in
favor of retaining the saloon and only 49,
1926 voted to Dust them. All the supporters
of the saloon voted All the women of the
underworld were at the election booths
Thousands of good women did not vote. But
the moral influence which the showing might
have on congress and the country was strong
enough to have rallied the good women of
Chicago to vote against the retention of
grog shops. The good women the home max
ers, did not go to the polls, and the result
in Chicago has not strengthened the equal
suffrage cause.

MECHANICAL OPINION MOULDERs

The discussion of the league of nations
will, as has often been the case when a cues
ton was up for settlement, lead to an ava
lanche of kilograms to members of congress-
to reams of resolutions, and innumerable
communications all couched in similar Ian
guage and showing the handiwork of the
mechanical moulder of public opinion. Ex-
pressions of public opinion on any question
and the right to petition for a redress of
grievances or for the adoption of certain
policy are rights which are inherent in the
people. But the spirit of democracy is that
such petitions, whether of the Individual as
in the case of kilograms or letters or in
groups as in the case of resolutions of
bodies or assemblages, must be spontaneous
and self-initiatory. If they are not they be-
come mechanical, and lose their force as ex-
pressions of public opinion.
When a formal telegram is distributed
and individuals are asked to sign and trans
nit the same to their congressman and sena-
tors the real spirit of the sender is destroy
ed 1t is not his desire expressed and con-
veyed as his view of public question, but
the mechanical desire made by some other
individual and placed before him for action.
Public gatherings called to ratify and pro
mulgate resolutions prepared in advance be-
come artificial purveyors of propaganda in
stead Of spontaneous opponents of public
sentiment.
The will of the people to be effective must
be such as arises cut of the inclination of
the public mind towards any question. Peo-
pie sign petitions without considering their
merit. 1t is told of a learned Judge who
signed official documents without considera-
ton that when his own death warrant was
placed before him with a request for his of
fetal signature he added his name without
hesitation. The same spirit is found in in
strumentalities for shaping public opinion.
People endorse them on an exparte presen-
tation. The opinion of the public, if worth
anything as guide in shaping public poll
cy, must be that which comes from a fair
study of both sides of the question and a
judicial determination of its merits upon all
the facts. Such opinion is not expressed in
kilograms ready made resolutions and
standardized communications These express
sions destroy the merit of public opinion
in the matter, and leave nothing but skele-
ton to guide those who it is sought to IN
fuence.

COL. WATTERSON IS OUT

The announcement of the retirement of
Colonel Henry WattersOn as editor emeritus
of the Louisville Courier-J ournal ends the
journalistic career of great editor and
sounds the death knell of individual journal
ism. He is the last of that school which in
Guided Halstead Dana, Prentice, Greedy,
Campbell, Abel and their lesser contempo-
raries. The individual opinion of the editor
was the policy of the paper. 1t was not what
the Courier-J ournal said, but what Colonel
Watterson said that left its impress on the
public mind. Watterson was the brains, the
Courier-J Journal only the vehicle of those
brains.
Colonel Watterson has always been a free
lance in journalism, He stood on his own
platform, and upheld his own opinions If
they were in accord with any party or poll
cy we'll and good. If they were not the edi-
tor cared not one whit. He retires from the
fiction of place on the staff because his
ideas are antagonstic to the policies of the
paper under its present commercialized
management Now, when he nears the four
score line of life he stands upon the honor
which has marked his entire career and re-
fuses to be part of an enterprise he does
not approve.
The Courier-Journal will flourish as a
business institution because it now occupies
a great industrial field in which it has been
taking root for a half century. But it will
never be the national journal of free thought
and vivid mentality it was when the scin-
tilating pen of its builder filled its columns
with his gems Of matured wisdom, ingratiat-
ing humor, pungent wit and caustic INJECT
i've. The spirit has departed from the body.

PUSSY DID HER "BIT."
Half Million Cats Were Sent to War
Zone and Used as Gas Detectors.
From the Boston Herald.

Since the British war office discovered that
cats could be modified for service on the
battlefront pussy has made a distinct ad-
vance toward rehabilitation in popular es-
TEEN. AS pet she never lacked favor, and
today, many centuries after the Egyptians
first gave her shelter, few homes are regard
ed as complete without a cat But outside
domestic precincts the feline still has need
of all her mine lives"
Stoned by urchins hunted by dogs or
snapped up by S. P. c. officers to be ''hu-
namely destroyed,' the houseless cat has
but precarious existence. Even as a mem
Der of the family she is suspected with pred
atory habits, with the result that every
now and then the cry goes up that she must
be licensed, collared and labeled. Our very
proverbs disparage her, and the cartoonist
loves to picture what Shakespeare called the
harmless necessary cat" as bellgerent by
nature, very fury of the animal world,
with raised back, fur on end and widely
distended eyes.
Who would believe, without evidence of
chapter and book, that such creature would
be useful IN war, and that in the war Just
closed an army of 100000 cats helped to
defeat the Hun? We have read of dogs and
pigeons being employed on the western
front as messengers; what could cat do,
except with teeth and claws, likely to make
any contribution to success in human COM
bat? Two years ago the war office was in
formed that this animal is peculiarly sensi-
tive to poison gas and notices its presence
in the atmosphere long before the senses of
human beings are affected. On the test be-
ing made pussy struck an attitude of protest
and whined her displeasure so Enthusiastically
that the war office Immediately accepted her
as recruit.
In all the newspapers appeared the ad-
vertisement, Wanted, common cats-any
number" At once the country was secured
for cats, and they literally rained in upon
the Bethnal-green bird dealer who had been
appointed to receive and dispatch them
