Not a school was in session. Not
one house on all that journey was
occupied. Not one building but
what was smashed beyond repair.

we passed thousands of human be

The cows we passed belonged to
them. The grain we saw and the
gardens we saw belonged to them.
But the people who once lived and
loved there-who owned their little

but misery and ruin and death are
left.
And now. may I not tell you the
beautiful part of this awful story?
Out from England and Holland

there Is heard the tramp of many
feet Slowly but surely an army of
occupation is on the way to the de-
vastated areas of France. They carry
no implements of war-neither of

uished by the broad motives that
have prompted it. Progressive de-
velopment along all lines tending
to increased national prosperity has
characterized the laws the Repub-
licans have placed on the statute
books.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
while looking after their cotton
crop and the dredging of some of
their Southern sloughs and bayous,
have let the country as a whole drift
along, with little attention to its
future welfare. When confronted
with real catastrophe, as the pres
ent war. the country pays the price
of the shiftlessness of it's national
administration. Hysteria seizes those
in power and they try to accom-
plish in a moment what they should
have been prepared for long be-
fore. Enormous extravagances,
costly delays and general ineffi-
cheney is the result.

PANHANDLING FOR ADS

m HE Southern press, nearly all
Democratic, stands by the ad.
ministration until it's own in.
terests are injured. Here is one il.
lustration of it's refusing to acquiesce
in the administrators plans.
When the railroads were taken
over by the administration practical
ly all railroad advertising was dis
continued as a needless expense.
Now the Southern District Traffic
Committee has circularized the
Southern press with an inquiry as to
its willingness to print, gratis, certain
announcements the Railroad, Admin
istration proposes to make from
time to time concerning rates, rules
and regulations.
A Mississippi paper indicates the
attitude of its contemporaries by
saying that now that the war is
over there is no reason why the
Government should be asking for
free space.
IF we should ask the Railroad
Administration for passes from here
to New Orleans, it would laugh with
scorn." And again, "if the govern
ment pays for rails and cross ties,
why not for advertising
In order to make a good showing
in the operation of the railroads, the
Government managers strive to get
advertising free. There is no more
reason why the government should
get railroad advertising free than
there was for the private operators
getting it without paying the usual
rates.

PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE

THE public school is the place in
which to counteract the false
teachings that are being taught
by the forces of disorder through
out the country. A little less at
tention to nonessential studies and a
little more concentration on the ele-
mental principles of political econ
omy and the United States govern
ment would help greatly. No voter
can exercise the functions of the
ballot intelligently unless he knows
the fundamentals of government and
any man who does not have this
knowledge is at the mercy of the
first disciple of revolution who
crosses his path.

THOSE WHO DID NOT GO
TN HIS last editorial, published in
the March Metropolitan, Colonel
Roosevelt said: -.,e s .. --...

lllc luSI publlSllSu III
the March Metropolitan, Colonel
Roosevelt said: ,s .. --..
There are in this country, how
ever, many regulars and many
volunteers who did not get over
into the fighting. who bitterly re-
Sret this fact and who would
welcome the chance to see some
service overseas under the Ameri-
can flag no matter what form it
might take.
This statement made before the
resumption of recruiting by the
Regular Army has been proven true
by the recent influx of recruits who
have been accepted at the local
Army Recruiting Station to go over
seas and see what really happened
over there. There are many SOL
diers overseas who, due to business
reasons, must come home; conse-
quently, it is the policy of the War
Department to replace these men
by volunteers.
The recent success obtained
throughout the country by army re-
cruiting has demonstrated that
Americans are still eager to travel
and take advantage of the many
other opportunities that the army
offers.

SENATOR KENYON'S CONTRAST.
ING VIEWS.

Just what Is the purpose Of the
Kenyon bill now in hearing at Wash
ington would be hard to deduce from
Senator Kenyon's own statements. In
the bill itself the purpose is set forth
as follows: "To stimulate the pro-
ductior, sale, and distribution Of live
stock and live stock products, and for
other purposes" This stimulation Of
live stock production may be well
taken as a bid to the consumer to hope
for lower meat prices.
But he has different thought to
present to producers. In letter ad.
dressed recently to the Wallace Farm
er he says: II do not believe myself
that the situation as to restricted
consumption is going to be changed
very much, and there will be the neces-
sity Of less production" OF course
less production would supposedly mean
higher prices for live stock, but also
higher prices for meat.
Are either the general public or the
farmer going to be fooled by this
method of playing up the one against
the other? It is not likely. Farmers
and consumers are both coming to the
realization that hampering the pack
ers Is not going to bring higher prices
for live stock nor lower prices for
meat, but quite the opposite.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Vigorous op- position was voiced in the Senate to- day by republican leaders to the plan for dealing with captured German colonies and occupied territories in Asiatic Turkey. which press dispatch es from France yesterday said had been presented to the peace confer ence by President Wilson.
 Democratic spokesmen said they could not believe the reports that the President had proposed permanent in- ternationaliGation of the territories and urged support of the American peace delegates. Some republican Senators pointed out that the official communique issued by the conference said plan for disposition had been provisionally agreed upon.
 The debate continued for two hours and during it's course republican leaders renewed their criticism of the plan for league of nations, the de- lay in concluding peace with Germany, "secret diplomacy" and other ques- tions connected with the peace confer ence.

 Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, as- serted that the internationalization plan proposed "a stupendous and pre- posterous undertaking" while Sena- tor Johnson, of California, declared he would not vdse for a treaty requir- ing American troops to be sent to Asia or Africa. Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi, Democrat, suggested that the Senate would reject such treaty.
 In reply to the republican attacks, Senator Lewis of Illinois, the Demo- critic Whip, said he doubted authenti- city of the Paris reports and declared that disposition of the German colon ies as suggested would violate the fundamental principle of self-deter- imitation of peoples. He said he be- lieved the actual agreement merely was for temporarily administration of the German colonies by the league of nations until their permanent status could be fixed
