Senator Borah of Idaho who is mall
ing speeches against the league OF
nations as proposed and advocated Ly
President Wilson is quoted as say
ing: GA mere statement that the
league plan would transfer sovereign
ty over American interests to the
hands of European diplomats has
suffced in most instances, he said, to
turn audiences against any wish for
such a league" Wonder if Senator
Borah believes that the American
people will swallow any such state
ment, without Investigation, and be
lieve it.
And we wonder if the statement
that the league would guarantee
peace to the world for all time would
not be as readily accepted as the
statement that the league turns
America over absolutely to the dip
lOuudtS VI GulOpC. We wv hoI ouk
pose that either statement would be
justified by the league itself but the
more reasonable to believe is that it
will at least have tendency to Sc
cure peace to the world and that is
what the peoples of the world want.
We are satisfied that the people them
selves have enough Of war.
At any rate we are satisfied that
the people not only of America bIS
Of the world are going to accept the
league as the best way to secure
peace to the world and that President
Wilson is going to have a very big
part in the making of the league and
the people of America are going 10
be as they are now with President
Wilson.

From 134s to 1850, 25,0OO,O0O deaths
from the plague or 'black death" oc
Cured, which was one-fourth Of thu

The average length of life in tn
sixteenth century was only Il years

There is still some talk of the gov.
ernor calling an extra session of the
legislature to have the question OF
road building discussed and to taae
some action on the cotton situation.
We can see no good in calling the
legislature together for both of these
questions were before the body when
it was in session and it is not likely
that the legislature would now reverse
itself and do anything on either
There is no more constant and earn :
est advocate of road building than
we are, but we can see nothing to
be gained by calling an extra session
of the legislature. We tried some ID
years ago to get the legislature 10
permit the people to pass on the
question of issuing bonds for the
building of roads and 1t would not.
There is no better investment than
money put in road building, if it IS
properly spent, and we would be glad
to see something done, but the trouble
with the present proposition the
people have an idea that there will
be only one or two roads built if the
bond issue is adopted, and they are
not yet exactly ready to see the Wis
dom of such a plan, and yet It would
be a great thing to have at least one
or two good roads built through the
counties of the State, and such roads
would be of incalcula:le benefit to all
the people whether they all lived on
the road or not, but we fear the peo-
pie ere not just yet N th3 frame IT
mind to see it that way A good sys-
tenn of good roads connecting all the
county seat towns would be a good
investment of public money for all
the people. All of them can not hive
on the same road and we must build
some one road first We can not
build all of them that we would like
to have at the same time. A start
must be made and the plan of con-
Meeting all the county seat towns. is
a good one. -.
The idea now is to put up some
money so as to share in the federal
appropriations for this purpose. That
is the argument for an extra session
of the legislature, but the same argu-
ment was used when the legislature
was in session.
In the meantime if the people will
just use the split log drag we can
have some pretty fair roads in all
parts of the county. Try it.

Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf--The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South---Will SpenS Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand SOL
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not s.gn their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light a con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illi1erates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, has intro
duced a bill in the Senate ITO promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per,
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
OF Alabama.
The Introduction of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for illiteracy out of proper
ton to that of the rest Of the coun-
{ try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas.
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work on the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being
matter of first Importance with all OF
them. One of the most significant
movements Of the times in this con-
nection is that OF the Centenary OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South. because that denonination will
expend within the next five years over
s3,O0O,OO0 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of s35. 100000 in an eight-day drive in
April. the financial campaign being
part of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination. The money is be-
ing raised with view to putting the
work OF the church on business
basis. the church considering its duty
to the iiliterates here in America to be
among the matters Of first Importance
which it should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result OF the
campaign will be the apportionment OF
SO 900. 600 among the various illlterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation, s75o,oo0; immigrant, 100000;
negroes, s5OO,OOO; Indians, $3.50 600;
cotton mill population, s15O.OOO; Chris
tian literature for all Of them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington. with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur.
thering the work among them, ano
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf. it is more than possible that
the illiterates of the South are in a
fair way to soon become educated cit1-
zens of the United States.
