PEACE OR ANARCHY?

The year 1918 was the year of Victory. Will
1919 be the year of Peace or the year of An
archy?
Whether Europe is to be republican or Bo-
shevild is almost certain to be determined by
the events of the next six months, and in par
ticular by the deliberations of the Peace Con
ference which must deal with the most compli-
Gated problem of human relationship that has
ever confronted Congress of the Nations.
The greater part of Europe has collapsed po-
litically as a result of war and is without gov
ernment that possesses the elements of perma
nence or established authority. All of Europe,
including Great Britain, is exhausted ecOnOmi-
cally and must resume the arduOus task of re-
creating the wealth that has been blown from
the mouths of cannon during the last four years.
Although Germany is beaten and has surren-
dered, the German situation today presents pos
sibilities of danger that are quite as disturbing
as the menace Of Prussianism itself. A Boil
sheviki Germany may easily mean Bolsheviki
Europe. The forces that German autocracy
financed and set at work in Russia are re-
acting upon the German people, and if they sue
cumb nobody is wise enough to foresee when and
how this anarchy can be checked in its advan-
sweep.
The doctrine of the confiscation of property
was never before so auring as it is now when
millions of men have been engaged for years
in the work of systematic destruction of prop
erty under the direction of their own govern

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York. Jan. 14.-The cotton
market opened steady today at ar
advance of 16 to % points. in re-
sponse to relatively firm cables. but
quickly weakened under a renewal of
scattering liquidation and Southern
and Wall Street selling. The drastic
cut reported in some of the leading
lines of bleaehed goods seemed to en-
courage the selling movement and be-
fore the end Of the first hour active
months weer some 15 to 20 points
net lower, March having sold off
from 26.17 TO $3.50 and Nav from
25.05 to 2465.
The market remained very nerv-
Gus and unsettled during the entire
morning. There was some scattered
covering on the declines and little
trade buying, but each slight bulge
seemed to meet increased offerings
from one source or another. and the
market was about 30 to 43 points net
lower around midday. The cut re-
ported in cotton goods seemed to
strengthen confidence in the theory
that all commodity values must be
adjusted to peace levels, and sellers
also found encourageme in reports

no became less active and there were

ments and when they have learned from per-
sonal experience the full meaning of organized
force While Americans still persist in discus
sing the situation in political terms, Europe it
self is thinking in economic terms, and inev-
tably So for the problems of peace are basicly
| economic.
There can be no guarantee of political sta
bity until the economic foundations of the
world are again laid. Even the very idealism
that is insistently pressing its demands at the
peace table has an economic origin which is to
be found in the intense desire of the masses in
Europe to emancipate themselves from the bur
den of arnaments and war and to have peace
that will guarantee to them the fruits of their
labor Unless these demands can be satisfied
at the Peace Conference the Bolsheviki move
ment will receive an impetus that may make it
uncomfortable
In so far as the war was conflict between
democracy and autOcracy, it has been won but
out of it has come war between democracy and
anarchy which threatens every institution of
modern civilization. Never in all history has
there been mghtier need for wise statesman
ship and sure political vision than now. Never
did heavier responsibilities rest upon the lead
ers of political and economic thought in every
country.
For good Or evil, the year 1919 is bound to
mark the beginning of a new era. That was
settled when the guns ceased firing and the Ger
man plenip0tentiares signed the armstice that
was drafted at Versailles. It will be no neutral
year that determines the new destiny of man
kind with all that that implies.

CITY WILL PASS

If Selections by State Board
Not Approved Litigation
May Result.

Prof. Wharton 3. Jones on Monday
evening will present his analysis OF the
selection Of books for the city schools
made by. the state textbook commission
to the city board Of education. So far
as he has gone in the analysis of the
list the superintendent Of city schools
stated Thursday that the selections APP
parenty were well advised, but" he
added, IF on more thorough and COM
plete examination as TO prices Of books
selected and comparisons with other
books Of equal merit, the Judgment Of

action Of that body and recommend to

chosen by the state"
Thia is the first year that the state
textbook commission selected the books
for the schools In the big cities OF the
state under the recently enacted uni
form textbook law. The board Of edu-
cation of Memphis operates under a
ss-year charter granted In 1869 and its
members declara they nave the right
to select the books themselves If they
choose regardless of the action of the
state commission.

public instruction, Prof, Jones stated
that he as well as the board OF edu-
cation would welcome the uniform text

were deemed economical and wisely
made. But, he told the state superin-
tendent, II the selections were not APP
proved by the city board that body
would not hesitate to go to law y
necessary to uphold the rights claimed
under the charter.
The only drastic changes In the school
books as chosen by the state board are
the adoption of the Edmondson sys-
tenn Of penmanship for the Palmer sys-
tenn now in practice and the adoption
of new arlthmetics, geography and
grammar books in the elementary
schools, In the high schools the books
remain practically the same, II there
is any objection in regard to the state
commissions selection 1t is more apt
to come over the question OF the pen
manship system than anything else.
The Palmer system has been In use In
the schools for the past year. 1t is
possible the Palmer system may be
retained under the new ruling and the
copy books OF the Edmonson system be
used, That question will be settled after
