H MILLIONS FOR PERMANENT CAMPS

Secretary Baker, who is a pacifist of the worst kind, or
was before the war. is certainly not buying those large army
tracts i'm the soith out of his own convictions. The southern
interests must have persuaded him to proceed in such a way.
and has the government as yet committed itself to standing
armies or universal training that makes the acquisition OF
such vast areas necessary? In one Georgia camp they
absorbed 10000 acres and drove the people from their lands
by processes of evictions. How many soldiers do they expect
10 keep on that 10000 acres of land and how much Is 1t
going to cosl TO keep up such a reservation?
We are afraid that there is much more real estate con-
Germ in that Georgia deal than there is military concern.
Those southern chaps have not been asleep at the switch
They have boosted thai during the war, while they were Ill

The year around. to the sea coasts of the Carolinas, money

squelched by being called pro-German. 1t has been a Sreai
game and it has been played in a great way-at least III a
fearless way. They have gotten away with it and defleo
criticism.

WHEN HARVEY M WOODROW DISAGREE

The president, in signing the peace treaty, according to
the dispatches. has decided to use his PERSONAL seal, instead
of the seal of the United States. 1t is explained that THIS per-
sonal seal was made of a nugget of California gold presented
to him by admirers in that state and it bears the INITIALS
Nv. W. instead of the initials ~. s." Just why it should be
wv. W." instead of III. S." may puzzle some, but we mao
already read. in earlier dispatches, that the inscription on
the treaty reads like this: 1.-The Honorable Woodrow Wilson,
president of the United States, acting in his own name and by
his own proper authority"

allels the two phrases, "In my own name and by my own

seemingly, objects to regarding the personality of his former
friend as super to the United States itself. He fears that some
one may introduce a bill to change the name from The United
States TO Wilsonia. Isn't there something musical about
that tn ome ears? When two such eminent democrats as
Wilson and Harvey disagree, the rest of us must remain
quiet.

WOOL GROWERS CRY "A-BAS"

The wool growers have a grievance of their own to
which they are giving a great deal of securing, with more
promised. They say that in the midst of the war they were
appealed to to help the government which needed wool.
they said they were willing to cooperate, for they believed in
winning the war. A board was arranged to regulate prices
That should be just to all. The growers accepted around 10
cents as their share of the "spons,' and for doing that they
were called patriots.
But after they had sold their clips they found that the
government paid as high as $l.7S a pound, and the fellows
that had helped the government to stabilize" the prices of the
wool growers were among the men wha drew down the Sis
for themselves. 1t was then claimed that the growers sold
their stuff with the grease in it, while the government paid
the higher prices for secured" woods. But upon investigation
they say. it is a lie, that the government purchases had not
been secured.
Now the wool growers believe that they were euchered
and that the government was defrauded out of milions-and
who got the profits? They want to know and they are insist
ing that there shall be an airing and also a securing and that
some profiteers-who acted as go-betweens-- shall be brought
to justice and made to disgorge the wealth they secured by
trickery.
Such is their story. 1t seems an impossible state OF
things. That is, it does not seem possible that men who were
entrusted with such high responsibilities by the government =
probably at 81 a ~year-should play two such tricks, one on
the wool growers and the other on the government which was
then in the throes of a war, with patriotic people everywhere
Offering up all they had to buy liberty bonds.

SAVING THEIR ROYAL RABBIT

We read in the dispatches that a "kaiser movement
has taken the edge off the signing of the peace treaty. This
movement has Tor It's object the saving of the former kaiser.
All the men who We're officers in the war of 1919 took the
oath of allegiance to the monarch and they are now banding
themselves together to redeem That oath. They p loval to
Wilhelm, the royal rabbit who is now in Holland in a place
of refuge. Brave men they will defend him with their
bodies" they say and they will die for him as for their God.
Good. and let it be plenty. If The million officers will all die
Tor the one VINO was thelr KAISER 1t will mean a million places

TO destroy the liberties of the world and who raped women
and girls during the war.

former kaiser is saved in some manner. We have n n doubt
that the gang would place the arrant and cringing coward ON
the throne again, had they the power to do o And why
shouid hey MOI nave such desires for were not their minds
and morals formed in the mould of their WIIbolm 90 no
cause of that while pretending to be brave and fearless they

THE STRUGGLE TO LIVE WITHOUT WORK

II may moi be sacrilege to say that there are a great
many people in the world these later days who are living
under the impression, or delusion, that it is no longer
necessary for them to work. That is the basic RUSSIAN
trouble. After centuries of semi-serfdom they get what they
called their freedom and the first thing they thought OF IN
connection with it was to live without ever working again.
They imagine that they can live forever on what the other
fellows, the rich and the bourgeois have saved up and>have
stored away somewhere. They think that all they have to DO
is to go and loot that.
That is the primary delusion of Russia and it is a deltslon
that easily spreads itself to other peoples and has beeh
spreading until we have some in even this country, where we
are somewhat used to freedom and all its works, who are
tainted with such notions.
But all such men will live long enough and it will not be
very long either, to learn that they are mistaken. They Will
learn that the so-called up stores in the world, the saved up
portions, will not last a hundred days all told and after that 1t
will be the same old problems that will face them starvation
ar labor. The problem is as old as the human race and one
tribe has driven out or murdered another tribe. in a long
succession of ages, without coming to any other solution than
that of going to work and conserving some of their own
.roducts. The modern spasms of socialism and anarchy and
all the isms that are deluding the minds of men will all
come TO naught. And so will the races that practice them
come to naught.

In one of his recent addresses the governor OF Illinois.
Frank o. Lowden, said:
I'VE have given too much liberty to the professor in
the class room.
I'VE admit that if there be any professor anywhere who
believes in the doctrines of free love there is no way you
can control his belief. If he thinks that in order for his soul
to attain its fullest and most perfect state, whatever that may
mean to a professors soul, you cannot change him in thai
respect.
II admit that you cannot control views upon political
science of any member of any college faculty. am III FAVOR
of The most absolute freedom of thought on the part OF the
professor. but if he believes that the doctrines of Lenine and
Trotzky are a beneficent philosophy of government, while
he is entitled to those views, it is still a part OF the liberty OF
the management of the educational institution to invite that
professor to vacate his chair"
He might have made the illustration more potent by say
ing that no man who has discovered a new poison may place
4 in a we'll to try it out ON the people. The poisons are not all
physical, some of them are of the mind. In TINS age OF
unrest. of diseased minds of many and OF all kinds, 1T Is not
The right of men so afflicted to pour those things into the
minds of the young. No man is entitled to teach his peculiar
views to the children of others without the consent OF those
others. no more than the man with the new polsons nave Il
right to put them into the wells.
1t is not right to say that we must permit "hal Is
academic Freedom" the freedom to teach what this or that
professor may have evolved out of his own CONSCIOUSNESS, or
absorbed from foul surroundings. Every nation has certain
ideals. One of our ideals. for instance, is the sacredness OF
the family relation, and no professor in a public institution,
or i'm any sort of an institution, has a right to teach that
some sort of free love" is a substitute for the national family
ideal-and professors have done that, as witness the fellow
named Heron who founded a socialist colony in New Jersey
before he was compelled to flee to Europe to escape the con-
demnation of the American people.
A man who accepts the trust of a teacher is not privileged
to teach what he pleases, for ne may be half INSANE ana II IS
no denial of academic freedom to say to him that he may not
do so. No man is privileged to tamper with the minds of
other peoples children, no more than he may debauch their
bodies.

THE LEAGUE NOT THEIR RELIANCE

The British empire is not using the league of nations to
reduce its ornaments. On the contrary, we are told that
they are figuring on an army of one million men, against two
hundred and fifty thousand before the war. But in England,
MIR. SimOnds has told us, the league of nations means nothing
except an arrangement that is tantamount to an alliance which
holds the United States in.
And what are we doing in this country? Are we not
figuring on an army of 4OOOOO-and does not the cry go up
for more and hasn't the pacifist Secretary Baker over the
protests of congress bought tracts of $4,000 acres in Georgia
on which to train armies?
And isn't it the truth that while we are all giving lip
service to an imaginary league, we are none OF us sitting
down and relying on it to keep the peace. In Europe, accord
ing to Mr.. Simonds, it is the farthest from their thinking
that the league will get for them what they want or what
they need-they are going to get it for themselves in the good
old way and the league is to them simply a device to hold
America i'm tow.

ancient times when all elephants were covered with thick mar
tc resist the cold of the glaciers among which they roamed
when the world was new. Gradually the hair disappeared
because they had no need for it in the warmer climates.
Nature adapts life to its surroundings. In human beings the
same fact occurs. Most men still have hair on the tops of
their heads, while at one time, without a doubt, they were so
covered from head to feet.

The news Of another sad death reach
ed lis as we were going TO press last
week, when word was received that Mrs.
Walter H. Thomas died following an
operation at one OF the hospitals in
Washington. Mrs. Thomas was taken
suddenly i'll with appendicitis last Tues
day, and when her family physician,
Dr.. Speake, was called in, he advised
that she be taken to a hospital for an
operation. She was Immediately rushed
to the hospital and operated on in the
evening of Wednesday and died carly
Thursday morning. Her remains were
brought to the county on Thursday eve
ming and her funeral took place from her
late home on Saturday at o'clock.
Her death is distinct shock to her
relatives and many friends, who ap-
preciated the beautiful and lovable
woman that she was, possessing high
character and a sweet and amiable dis
position that won and kept for her dur
ing her entire life many warm and
devoted friends. Hers was another one
Of those sad and most heartrending
deaths that have occurred in our county
during the last twelve months, being
snatched away from the enjoyment OF
sweet and lovable home like a bolt of
lightning from the sky. Her death is
even more sad because OF the fact that
besides her husband she leaves three
little children surviving her who, besides
missing a good mothers gentle and re-
hning influence, will miss happy, cheer
full and devoted companion and guar
dian. She was a daughter of former
County Treasurer and Mrs. Thomas
Norman, who, with several sisters, also
survive her. We extend our deepest and
most heartfelt sympathy to her bereaved
family May her soul rest in peace.
