Good Weather Prevails in
South Today.

NASHVILLE, Tenn December c.
If there is fair weather in the south
tomorrow the Baptist $75.000,000
campaign will reach it's goal by Monday
morning, in the opinion of DR.. L. R.
Scarborough, general director.
Seven states and two foreign fields
are already over by good margins,
seven other states are in close strik-
ing distance of their goals and ex-
tremeiy unfavorable weather has de-
layed the drive in the other four
states during the past week.
Saturdays returns brought an ad-
vance of more than 100000 from
Texas.
Native Christians of south Brazil
have cabled they are over the top on
their quota of s450.000, as did those
of central China. Every foreign field
is expected to complete it's drive by
Sunday night. Georgia and South Car
Dina are racing for first honors in
oversubscriptions. Georgia reported
an oversubscription of $1.750.000 to-
night on a quota of s7,50O.00O, while
South Carolina, with quota of So
100000 is also $1,250,000 beyond that
sum. Proportional increases are re-
ported from the other states that
have surpassed their goals.

Robins Lecture on Soviet

MADISON. Wis, December (by the
Associated Press).-A gathering of more
than 500 persons, who had jammed into
the engineering auditorium to hear Col.
Raymond Robins tell about soviet
Russia, were pulled to their feet in
excitement during the closing min
utes of the meeting when u group of
soldiers who had served at Archangel
hotly challenged Robins statement
that, as an indirect result of the al
lies' policy in failing to recognize the
holehevik government. American SOL
diers in Russia had mutinied.

for that statement" declared Capt

ground at the time, and will swear
there was no mutiny of American

out proof of such charges, we object
TO the idea of an audience being al

the impression that any of our SOL
diers in Russia refused to obey or

One of the soldiers asserted that
his Army unit was fighting boisheviks
at ArchanGel on the date given as
that of the alleged mutiny.
Tension frightened as the colloquy
warmed, and Col. Robins said he was
convinced of his facts, which never
had been challenged in any of his
previous lectures. At the suggestion
of one of his hearers, however, the
speaker said he would not include the
,nutiny charge in future presentations
of the Russian situation until he had
had further opportunity to reconsult
his original informantS.

PREACHING MURDER.

The apologies offered by so-called Socialists. Anarchists and Bolshevists for recent bomb out rages are more disquieting than the explosions
 Victor Berger, convict Congressman elect, while protesting to deplore violence, says it is the direct result of the suppression of speech and press. Yet in New York alone, as The World has shown, there are forty y-five publish ing houses disseminating revolutionary litera- ture of one sort or another, and Berger him. self does not hesitate to threaten that terrible retribution will be meted out to the capitalistic class''
 ngernon Lee, New York Socialist Alder man hastens to explain the presence of ten bombs in eight widely separted cities at the same hour with the assertion that they were the result of "a frame-up on the part of the police, ," who, in the interest of capitalism, want excuses for the denial of popular right \ Yet the men who operated in Washington and else where with dynamite left vertable proclama- ton signed ''The Anarchist Fighters, '' in which their action was made to square precisely with the utterances of Mr. Lees victims of police op pression.
 The fact is, and it should be understood that murder is being preached in the United States openly and defantly. Murder has ac- cess to the mails! Murder is openly advocated in public assemblies. The organs of murder are sale in the streets. Murder is rampant, and 1t means the murder of government as we'll as the murder of men. There has been no sup, pression of murderous speech except as it interferred with war.
 Perhaps it is not wise to have many murder presses and murder forums, but they exist, and the Bergers and Lees who try to find excuses for their natural consequences know that they exist, practically without restrain.-New York World.

HOW MUCH WILL PRICES GO DOWN?

Statement by Maj. Gen. George w. Goethals.
 The immediate problem that confronts us is the resumption of business, including particul- arly construction, manufacturing, and mining
 Business is being retarded because we are hoping for, or fearing, lower prices Whether these fears, or hopes, are ever going to be real ized, no one can say but above the maze of conflicting arguments that are being applied to the situation one fact stands out premin- ently:
 ~+'We can return to neither prewar conditions nor prewar prices"
 Every thoughtful employer of labor realizes that the wage earner is entitled to proportion- ately more of the comforts and conveniences of life than fell to his share before the war. Every thoughtful buyer should realize that the price he pays for goods must be in proportion to the increased cost of labor. Also that labor cent of the cost of most products of farm for est, mine, factory, and laboratory.
 The manufacturer, employer, or individual who is selling his own labor, brains, product at high though reasonable price should not expect to buy cheaply from others. Let us be careful, in our cry for lower prices, not to forget that permanent improvements of living conditions is effected only by increased eff ciency of the forces of production. And ex- perience shows such increase of efficiency"is at best slow process process of years and per- haps decades.

LEAGUE WILL BE AN ISSUE IN 1920

Regardless of the outcome in the United States Senate with Reference to action on the Covenant of the proposed League of Nations, it now seems certain that the matter will con- stitute one of the main issues of the 1920 Pres idential campaign This will probably be true regardless of whether the Covenant is approv ed without amendment or reservation, or is approved with amendments reservations as a part of the Treaty; or is absolutely separted from the Treaty and radically amended or en- tirely rejected. For the Covenant to be ac- cepted as it is, or with but slight amendments, would be regarded, in political circles at least, as decided victory for President Wilson and might cause many to urge him to run for a third term; while on the other hand, the de- feat of the Covenant would cause great pres sure to be brought to bear upon him to run again and thus try the League issue out in popular election.
 As regards the Republican party, at present all clements seem to be standing firmly togeth- CT on the plan of refusing to approve the Gov enant without material amendments, and, un less there is some break in this solid Repubh can anti Covenant front the chances of an ly disposition of the League matter in the Sen ate are Dy no medns eHcourdgiHS. Il OJ any chance there shouldd be serious break on this question there are signs that new Third Party would be formed, made up of both Demo crats and Republicans, and passing ts plea for support on unqualified Americanism as disting uished from internationalism. If there should be any such break, it is probable that the rem nant of. the Republican Party favoriing the League of Nations would nominate MT. Taft, because of his strong stand in favor of the Gov enant that the pro-Covenant element of the Democratic Party would renominate MT. Will son and that the New Third Party would nom- mate Lodge or Borah or one of the numerous other strenuous opponents of the League of Nations plan. In such an event it would be very difficult to make a safe prediction as tol the result

The work done in preparing the journals of the legislature for publications has been costly jobsto the state and judginig from a column editorial in the Arizona Republican last week this piece of petty grafting will most likely be expensive to the democratic party Whoever is responsible for providing an ap- propriation of the thousand dollars to pay for work which had been done the past, for seven hundred dollars is not good friend of the demo cratic party Those who stuck like teaches to the appropriated fund until republican gov ernor was afforded the opportunity to call a halt should be denied another feed at the poll tical hay stack.

Loss of Appetite

As a general rule there is nothing serious about a loss of appetite, and if you ship. meal or only eat two meals day for a few days you will soon have a relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that at least five hours should al- ways elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period of rest be- fore a second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take a reasonable amount of out door exercises every day you will not need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by constipation as it often is the case that should be corrected at once. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do it.

THE AMERICAN LEGION

The formation of the American Legion on a large National scale is sure to have great influence on the future of this country when once the organization is in active operation.
 So far, except in isolated cases and in confi- dential relations, there is a curious lack of knowledge by the general public of the point of view of the returned soldier and sailor; the formation of great legion of men, who have borne arms and who animated by common undertow of feeling which they do not to express individually, furnishes a means of collective expressions, through great national organization which cannot fail to have trem- endous influence on public opinion and action outside its own ranks. Once the point of con- tact has been established and the home folks know what the body of soldiers and sailors think and want, a common ground will have been found for united action all around. This common ground somehow is wanting at pres ent and the Legion will be in position to per form great servce in civil life, not by parti san politics but by helping to mould public opinion.
 The potential power of four million men ganized into a fraternal body to uphold Ameri- can ideals and maintain and enforce them is great and carries with it a heavy responsibility.
 Primarily the legion is formed to preserve the relation of comradeship among its mem- bers, uniting them with common tie of mu- tual interest and of Americanism 100 per cent strong.
 As long as this is the dominant idea, vigor- ously advanced and consistently lived up to- the members of the American Legion will be a strong factor in the national life for years to come and leave permanent impression on the national character.

The abrupt announcement on the part of the Carranza Government that Mexico will not join the League of Nations is not surprising In the covenant it is provided that ''any fully self-governing state" may become member, provided it shall give effective guarantees of it's sincere intention to observe its international obligations The author of this clause is not known but he must have been thinking of Mexico.
