BOLD WORDS.

Senator Gronna of North Dakota, one of the
little group of wilful men, who violently op-
posed our war with Germany because Of pro-
German or German-vote leanings, now feels at
liberty to stand up in the United States Senate
and boast of his record while assailing the treaty
of peace. He not only feels at liberty to boast Of
his record but to characterize those Americans
who demanded hostilities early in 1917 as de
mons of war; Apparently, in the view of the
North Dakota Senator those demons brought
about a mOnstrously unjust war and now they
wish to dictate an equally monstrous peace Wis
iting penalties on Germany. Presumably the Sen
ator thinks that, having mistreated Germany in
the first place, we should now not only visit no
penalties upon her in defeat but place her IN the
highest seat of honor among the nations.
This astonishing incident would be of slight
Importance in itself were it not an Illuminating
revelation of what has been brought to pass in
this country by pro-German propaganda, Sim
Fem anti-British propaganda and bitter partl-
san strife between Republicans and Democrats
The country reached lofty patriotic and mora
heights during the war, but thereafter descended
so swiftly into the pit of individual self-seekine
that we are now robbing each other through q
practically universal system of profiteering. AS
if this were not degradation enough, our partl
san strife opens all doors to pro-German propa
ganda and permits this with the assistance O.
Sim Fem agitation) not only to create a country
wide GOODNESS toward our allies in the war but tt
fill a vast percentage of the public with doubt a.
to whether we should ever have made war upol
a predatory Germany burning with the lust O
world-dominion. Gronna's bold speech is an eye
opener to the American capable of seeing beyond
his n0rc.

A COLORED MANS COTTON BALE.

Mound Bayou, MISS, Oct. ~, l9lU.
The Commercial Appeal:
We have noticed in your columns recently re-
port of a bale of cotton selling at Clarksdale, Miss.
for SAIL, and purporting to be the most expensive
bale of the season. During the latter part of the
past week Anthony J. Taylor, a buyer operating in
our local market for Mr.. Guy E. Waldrop, paid D.
J. Franklin $412.3O for a bale of cotton, and also
paid R. B. Randall S4,138 for IL bales Of cotton.
Both of the sellers are industrious colored farm
ers. Yours very truly,
ISAIAH T. MONTGOMERY.
All the black people in the south and all the
white people should read this tatement Of facts
made by Isaiah 7. Montgomery. Isaiah T. Mont
gomery is a wise old colored man. AS a boy he
was intimately associated with the family and
fortune of Jefferson Davis. twenty-five years
ago he was a preacher for levees. When the Re-
publicans held a majority in the national assem-
bly, Isaiah T.. Montgomery, on more than one oc-
.cassion, appeared there in behalf of his white
friends and neighbours, urging the cause OF the
delta.
Isaiah tells US that D j. Franklin, a negro
man, received $412.3O for a bale of cotton.
Hats off to Franklin.
This means that Franklin paid attention to his
cotton when he was growing it. He worked his
hoe and his plows in the field instead of working
his Jaw around a railroad station. 1t also means
that Franklin saw that the cotton was picked
when the weather was good.
R. B. Randall sold IL bales of cotton at 1914 a
bale. Randall is a colored man. Randall had his
mind on his crop during the summer instead of
longing for imaginary f%leshpots in some other
country.
The Germans fought 5 years for what they
conceived to be a place in the sun. They lost their
fight, and now they are in outer darkness.
The negroes have a place in the sun in the
Mississippi Delta, and they have a place in the sur
in the entire south. They can make their places
comfortable by bringing to bear industry and in.
t%elligence on their work in the cotton field and
other fields.
Mississippi is to be congratulated that it has
negro farmers who can grow a bale of cotton tha1
:, will fetch $412. This sort of men are worth while
They are worth encouragement. When they arr
Industrious and obey the law it is the duty Of TIN
!, white men to see that they are protected in thei
rights and are secure in their property and oppor
e tunity to accumulate:-Commercial Appeal.

ERRORS

Criticism of newspapers is often heard De-
cause of errors which creep into print. The critics
little dream how unmerited is much Of this crltl-
cism. When the error is actually made by the
paper, when it is considered how many distinct
items of news is handled in a single issue, 1t is
remarkable that there are not very many more.
But, as a matter of fact, those from whom the
news item is learned are at fault and not the pa
per in most instances.
Last week the Reveille had four or five diff
erent items which were furnished the paper III
correctly by people directly Interested. The err
rors went to press, but as there was no power
with which to operate the typesetting machine,
they could not be corrected. Of course, the pa
per got the blame.
Errors are made in courts of justice where
DAYS are spent in an endeavor to get facts. A
newspaper has neither the power, the means nor
the time which are given the courts, and yet,
numbers of items considered, the papers make no
more mistakes than do the courts.
Some one has said that the paper that makes
no mistakes prints no news, and this is absolutely
true. Every paper makes mistakes, but remark.
ably few compared with the large and varied
amount of matter handled in each issue.-Port

Good Cough Medicine for Children

Mrs. J. w. Phillips, Redon, Ga,

THE CRY is STILL THEY COME.

We had hoped that as time went by there
would be less of the "free publicity stuff to clog
the mails but it appears to be getting worse in
stead of better. Every mail brings to The Watch
man office a lot of junk that is not worth opening.
Greensboro Waterman
The tide indeed continues to flow land we Won
der when some newspaper man will pass the hint
to the senders that their efforts waste time and
money. Another point to be noted, If there IS
really any practical thought given to this bust
ness, is the wholly unserviceable matter that is
sent in this publicity mail. Even should the
editor be sympathetic, he has no room for long
expositions of the various topics and no time to
reduce them to disable shape. Why is it that the

to notice the kind of matter that is printed in
the newspapers and seem oblivious of the fact

have recently given their unqualified endorsements to Tanlac.
The word of men whose records for honesty and uprghtness has

ETC. ETC.

A man sat in a barber shop. He was getting
a haircut and reading a paper at the same time.
He needed a pair of shoe laces. He wore low cut
shoes. He asked the porter to get him a pair of
shoe strings. The porter went away and came
back with the strings. He put them in the shoes.
The man gave the porter a dime for his work.
The porter then modestly said that the strings
cost Is cents.
The man yelled. "Shoe Dealers" he said, Gus
ually give away shoe strings; men on the street
used to sell them two pairs for a nickel"
The porter said: Mr.. Blank charged me Is
cents for these strings"
Mr.. Blank is a haberdasher. He habers anc
dashers over a store as big as a barn.
The man gave the porter Is cents, the price
of the strings, and a dime to boot. The porter
earned the dime. There was no profiteering III
thta. A man always slips a gaad porter a dime
for the brush and a grin.
But that is the way it goes. Fifteen cents fol
shoe laces. They cost the storekeeper one cent
maybe two cents.

A man drives a 5OO-pound steer to the Men,
phis stock yards. He sells the steer at five cents

tered. He sells the hide for SIS cash. The steer
dresses about $50 pounds of meat. If he sold that
