AN EXPENSIVE EVIL

The authorities are displaying great energy and activity in
pursuing and running down the elusive and fugacious bootleg
gers, and they are to be commended for it; but there is another
evil OF long standing, and one that seems to be growing, and
that is the dismanting of vacant houses. If a family leaves
home for a couple Of days, or if a house is left untenanted
vandals enter it and carry off everything that is portable
mirrors, NANTES and everything that may be detached, and the
plumbing is cut away and carried off from garnet to ceiling
This plumber is sold to junk dealers, who drive a profitable trade
in selling it, and some Of the holder ones are said to furnish
the thieves freight wagons to haul the plumber away. There
has been a scarcity Of houses in Memphis amounting to a
famine for some time. There are not enough houses to supply
the demand, and many that could be occupied are rendered unin-
habtable by thieves, who break in and carry away all convent
enceS.
Not content with carrying away contents that cost thousands
OF dollars, these evildoers, in a spirit Of wanton vandalism,
destroy what is Of no use to them. Windows are broken, door
knobs battered off and even the paper and plasterng torn from
the walls, and left to litter up the floors. Rental agents never.
know when they have a house ready for occupancy. The best
appointed building at shutdown one evening may be a wreck the
next morning. The thieves know where to find a ready market
for their loot, and there seems to be no way Of catching them.
If public sentiment were aroused, and every citizen made to feel
that it is his duty to assist the authorities in guarding property
and bringing the thieves to justice, the evil practice could be
abated and the wrongdoers punished. So long as the practice
remains profitable it will continue, but it can be broken up if
people will make up their minds to do it. There are not enough
police to guard vacant houses. They find more than they can
do in guarding occupied houses against the raids of burglars
and porch climbers. Conditions are so bad in Memphis that
property owners must provide themselves with protection if the
constituted authorities cannot give it to them. This expense will
fall on the tenants, and increase the high cost OF living, All OF
which keeps people away from Memphis, and INJURIES the city,
both materially and in good name.

The Democratic party may not have enfranchised the
women, but it is very gracious to them i'll anticipation Of their
enfranchisement. And, after all, what more pleasing demonstra-

The Democratic national organization has authorized each
member of the committee to appoint one woman member from
his state. There is nothing in the nature Of auxiliary" and
nothing perfunctory in the appointment. The women members
are entitled to the floor, to vote in the meetings and to all
privileges that the regular members have,
The Republicans have done nothing OF the kind for the

TROUBLESOME

There are a number of different opinions as to what Ger
many intends to do with the peace terms, all of them interesting
and none Of them important.
The Germans may sign at once or they may not. If they
do sign the people back home will denounce the delegates. II
they refuse to sign out OF fear of the sentiment OF the Germans
at home then the allies will make a demonstration and the
Germans will sign. So it is sign eventually and regardless of
what may happen. In any event, sign or not sign, it is begin
ming to be quite clear that the Germans do not intend to carry
out any part Of the terms. Considerable pressure will have to
be brought to secure a full settlement, and the allies will have
trouble with the Germans for many years to come in the mat
ter OF collections, Rigid as the terms were, the best thing that
happened to the Germans was the signing of the armisticc
when the allies might have pressed to an unconditional sur
render.
But the burden and the worry and the annoyance have ther
recompense ip the number Of lives that were spared by the sus
pension of hoSiliueS.

PROPAGANDA

Dispatches from Switzerland indicate that the German intel
lgence system, the greatest espionage organization of the war,
with its propaganda, is again busy. Dispatches from Berlin
carry evidence of the same thing.
Almost daily the newspapers are carrying stories OF the
German appreciation OF the proves OF the American soldier,
The statements are most fattering and almost irresistible, 1t
must be remembered that the German high command spoke quite
contemptuously Of the Americas soldier in the beginning of the
war, and while there was every reason for the German to change
repeated tributes that he now persists in bestowing upon the
American army. The real reason, of course, is to ingratiate him
self in the esteem of the American people. The German perhaps
cares as little for the American now as he did seven months
ago, though he may respect him more. There is nothing he can
gain from fattery. He will make better progress by saying
little and deporting himself better.
