Stiff Barriers
Needed

We have also and thnK TINS .s the
greatest Of all duties to fulfil aur promise
to liberate the small peoples Of Europe. not
merely as an act Of justice, not merely az
piece Of charity. but as the sole permanent
guarantee against the return of Germany
TO her old pathways. If we leave the doors
to India and to ASIA Minor open to Inc
Germans there IS certainly nothing IN
human history TO suggest that the Germans
Will not seek TO tread those pathways Il
we leave Germany opportunity and ability
to realize the dreams she narrowly escaped
realizing in this last war We shall fail al
Paris and the German Will after all win
the war. He will find himself in the brief
est period Of years greater than ever before,
having added millions to his population ~
his attack upon ciNinzatlon and having sue
cessfully abolished the obstacles TO his
eastern expansion
1t seems TO me that these are c.rcum-
stances which must be in the minds Of
Americans now in the difficult weeks which
are before the Paris conference. and It
seems to me that the key to the Whole thing
must be found in the fact, the incontestable
fact, that UP to the present moment Ser

must seem very strange to the rcmoter
American audience, may be found in any
examination of progress and conditions of

forth something OF the view to be found
here as to what must be done if the war il

nize that we are still at war with Germany
and that Germany has so far come practi-

The greatest single danger that one fears

idea that the league OF nations covenant.

In an address at Hot Springs, Ark
ansss. last week Col. W. J. Bryan,
several times Democratic nominee for
President, declared that the next plat
form of the Democratic party will carry
favor for all that organized labor asks
and more. We cant see where Mr..
Bryan has much more right to state
what the next Democratic platform will
carry as its provisions than any other
Democrat has, but we believe this. that
if 1t does carry such provisions
as will give ALL ORGANIZED
LABOR ASKS. the provision
will drive from the, party hundreds of
voters who have never known a thought
except loyalty to the Democratic party.
Labor on the one side and capital on
the other must be curbed by the great
middle class, the class from which De-
mocracy has always drawn her strength.

Sugar 81 rs cents per pound in Som
erville and l2 cents 10 Chicago. Does
that strike local citizen as fair and
square dealing? And yet District At
torney KYser says he can find no signs
of profteering in his district. Truth
is the profteering begins with the
hoarder of sugar in the sugar producing
district. not the grower but the spec
ulator there. and lasts to the door Of the
local retailer. II seems there il little
prufiteering in this commodity by re
tailers in the tenth congressional de
ttict because the price was so high
when the staple reached the district
that ii could not go higher.

The Falcon has said before and says
again that Somerville should have a
night policeman. The proposition has
been talked and the city authorities say
they have no funds to meet the salary
of such an officer. If it is not possible
TO have this officer otherwise, we pro-
pose that the salary be raised by sub
scriptlon among business men. The
Falcon will pay its share and believes

say nothing of the effect it would have

Recently authorities in Washington
promulgated an order reducing the
price of cotton seed meal from S72 per
ton to SOS per ton and the howl sent
out by seed mills resounded turnout
the country. Their strongest plea was
that they would have to reduce the
prices being paid for seed. Their ar
gument prevailed and the order was
rescinded and mills are allowed to fix
their own price for meal. But seed
prices paid the farmers have been re-
duced from "a per 100 pounds to 81. so
per 100 pounds, just the same. Re-
scinding the order seems to have had
the effect both ways. reducing prices
on seed ard raising prices to former
levels on meal. Aud this is a good

The Ess, Tennessee Teachers A.
soclation recently passed resolut on
declaring that they believed GRADUATES
With degrees from first class colleges
ought not to teach for less than $l00
per monlh, graduates from Normal
schools not for less t1an $50 per month
and graduates of first class high
schools not for less than $50 per month.
They have set this as the standardto-
ward which they propose to work for iE-
cresses in salaries thru friendly chan
nels. And with all other things cost
ing as thev do and other labor costing
as it does. these figures are entirely
within the limits of reason and we
hope Fayetts county can be the first
in the state to meet these figures with
her teachers. No county in the state
is nearer to this limit and no county
in the state sets higher standard for
its teachers than does Fayette, But
it remains true that teachers are not
being paid ad. quate salaries in most
OF the schools of this county and 10
few schools turnout the state. And

A large committee Of citizens has
arranged for an extensive entertain

It is probable that the troop trains
will arrive at approximately the same
time, but owing to depot facilities, it
will be necessary to unload the troops
and have them parade at once to

A BATTLE IN THE AIR

Did you ever see two exalted kings
Of the air in mortal combat? No?
Well, then, near the corner Of Ninth
and Military avenue there is pole ex-
tended into the air, on top Of which
is q box with openings to the east and
west. The west side is occupied by
the Blue Martin specie Of bird, long
known. as. the king Of the air. The
east side is occupied by. that little
fighting English sparrow, and the
writer il not quite certain which is
going to be the mastery Of that home.
Recently q royal b&ttle took place
there with the sparrow on top-that
is, on top Of the martins back as they
fiuttered and fought and pecked and
scratched from the box to the ground,
and then rolled over and over. The
eye of the martin seemed to be the
favorite spot of combat with the spar
row, while the martin was satisfied
with an occasional bunch Of feathers
pulled out Of the sparrOw's back.
The Blue Martin Is one of the pret-
test birds of the air while the English
sparrow Is one of the ugliest and
meanest, and we sincerely hope the
war will end with victory perched on
that box for the Blue Martin.

EMPLOYMENT SUNDAY

May 4 has been chosen by the
churches of America as Employment
Sunday. On that day, in response to
a request by President Wilson, the
problem Of unemployment will be dis
cussed from the pulpit, special pray
ers will be offered and a movement
started in each church toward the
placing of men not now employed and
the listing of places open to them.
Churches, religious orders and well
fare organizations of all kinds have
responded nobly to every call during
the strenuous times through which the
country has passed IN the last two
years, and doubtless valuable and
helpful work viii be done in answer
ing this latest call.
Nothing could mark more plainly
the new era in church development
than this handling Of an industrial
problem as a part of the church's ma

Faith without works is dead" In
the olden days that was taken TO mean
without works distinctly religious and

of these days does not devote itself
to the preparation Of the human soul
for death. It helps in the common,
everyday problems Of living, and helps
broadly and wisely, bsedng its pray

Quaint Customs Of the Red Man
In Baxter After the Fun

COldsprings

After Walter Coldsprings' funeral
at Baxter Springs, says 4 writer in q
Sunday st. Louis paper, the ouapaw
Indians, who had gathered TO perform
the last sad rites, motOred to the
Devils Promenade for the usual feast
and football game that follows such
an occason.'
On the arrival Of the band at the
famous stOmping ground Of the Qua
paws, tarpaulin was spread on the
ground and feast spread for all pres
emit, about 100 Indians.
At the conclusion Of the feast, the
football game started. The bucks
lined up on one side and the squaws
ON the other. Goals, similar to those
Of the regulation game had been
placed at either end Of the play
ground and 1t was the duty Of the diff
ferent sides to put the ball over the
opposite goal, the squaws throwing 1t
and the bucks kicking 1t.
The sight that followed the begin
ming of the game Is one never seen
outside Of the Indian settlement. Wo-
men In modish gowns, men In modern
suits and army uniforms, tussled and
struggled for the ball as the lines
swayed to and fro. Diamonds flashed
and silks rustled in one Of toughest
Of games but all Of the players held
their temper and the playing was
clean throughout.
Outside the enclosure where the
game was held, motor cars were
parked. Practically all Of them were
high-priced, high-pOwered machines.
Only one little car was among them.
The shouts Of the players and
their smiling faces made q strange
contrast to what il seen at . white
mans funeral. When asked by spec
tator why the Indians held such q
hilarious ceremony after burying one
Of their number, an Indian answered,
Forget troubles. Get over It sooner"
