THE INTERESTS

Senator B0rah IS greatly per-
turbed because of fear that the
interests" are backing the League
Of Nations. What and where are
the interests We know where
they were 10 the good old days
when the republicans ruled the
lagislatine roOst We know that
|ftom Wall street. they financed
elections all the country over and
made tariffs and created panics.
But since Woodrow Wilson came
in the interests are elsewhere.
They are in the grain fields of Kan
sas and the Golden West; they are
in the cotton plantations of the sun
ny south; they are in the coal and
iron mines of Alabama and Penn
sylvania; they are in the water
melon patches and peach orchards
of Georgia; they are in the vine
yards of California; they are in the
orange groves of Florida; they are
in the forests of Michigan and
Texas; they are in our cOrnhelds,
in our cabbage patches; they are
wherever honest industry has en-
pIoyment and where labor is re-
warded. 1t is in such places that
our wealth is produced and from
which it is distributed to the banks
aud thence into the broad areas of
commerce, to come back with the
myraid blessings that honestly be-
gotten increment purchases. Wall
street can no longer, if it would,
buy anything iIlegitimately. It,
can no longer dictate who shall
be president or who shall not.
no longer Is more potent then a.
other interest 10 framing legislation
The farmer is not dependent upon
Wall street for favors. He goes
to the government and if
be needs loan gets it. Wall
street can no more create a money
panic than can Pennsylvania ave-
nue. in Washington or Chestnut
street. in Philadelphia, State street
10 Chicago or Union street in
Nashville. Great wealth will
always have an influence; but the
wealth of the country is more
nearly today 10 the hands and
under the control of the American
people than ever before in the
republics history. Wall street
is to an extent the banking center
Of the country. But those who
operate the banks are servants, not
masters Senator Borah's talk.
therefore, of the terrible, the
the remorseless interests
is mostly popycock. Nashville

LOST OPPORTUNITY


When the republicans elected
control of the present congress,
defeating the democrats, who had
been 10 charge for q number Of
years. things looked gloomy for
the future of the latter party.
Democrats we're discouraged and
more or less disheartened.
At the converting Of the 66tb
OOHgrnssthadsmDerats surrendered
party control of both hOnses The
republicans were igN0uslE jubiIant.
and promised greattl things for the
country.
The extra session of congress
faced momentous issues. The war
was ended and important recon-
struction measures had to be con-
sidered. 1t was a fine opportunity
for a congress to do things of great
benefit to the country. No party
ever had a finer chance to prove
its capacity to enact constructive
legislation Of a helpful nature. It
was very generally believed that
the republican party would meas-
ure up, in a very great degree at
least, to the demands of the hour
and democrats recognized a situa-
tiop anything but fattering.
But what a change has been
wrought9 The months of respon-
sibilities. bright and encouraging
prospects have changed conditions
and the republicans have failed to
measure up to the expectations of
the people. These months have
brought no promised reconstruct
i've measures. Big issues are al
lowed to wait, and the country is
permitted to remain in uncertain
expectancy. They have spent their
time criticizing and complaining,
trying to find fault with the con-
duct of the war and the peace
treaty and league of nations agreed
upon BY the leaders Of the allied
nations in their great conference
in France.
So selfish and partisan have the
leaders grown that they have be-
come more or less churlish and |
cynical and distainful Of each
other. III fact, internal strife has
broken out among them, and their
most cherished plans for legislat-
i've enactments that would shame
democrats and fasten their hold
upon the country bave been BAN
ished.
President Wilson returns from
France TO find democrats optimis-
tic and decidedly hopeful The
country endorses bis efforts to
bring about q just and permanent
peace, and democrats, everywhere,
are encouraged, and believe that
the country will not only endorse
the president, but will recognize
the constructive force Of the dem
Ocratic party.

matter up. The war will soon be
over now and the matter of road
construction will be taken up in
earnest.
The project the President of the
Jefferson Davis Highway Association
is advocating is most commend
able one. The volume of traffic
from this section to the Delta is in
creasing daily and if such a high
way is contributed there would be a
large volume of eastern traffic
which would take advantage of this
route. No east and west highway
spans Mississippi now and one is
badly needed to care for the con-
stantly increasing automobile traf-
fie between these sections.
The suggestion of DR.. Dean about
statues marking the crossing of the
Jackson and the Last Chief Choctaw
route is not inappropriate and finds
ready support now. The route is in
iniation; it is being boosted by
Greenyille, Greenwood, Winona and
the biggest and best city in East
Mississippi should cordially support
it.

TEACHERS THREATEN 70 STRIKE
Porto Riean Educators Insist on In.
crease in Salaries. -


Z Correspondence Associated, Press.1
San Juan, May 26.-Portof Rico Is
threatened with strike Of $500 school
teachers unless the legislature makes
provisions for an increase in teachers
salaries. The teachers are expected to
refuse to sign contracts for the next
school year at the present scale Of
salaries.
Francisco vicenty, president Of the
teachers association started the strike
campaign this week,
Commissioner OF Education Paul @.
Miller put the question OF raising
funds to pay teachers adequate salaries
squarely up to the legislature.
IF the legislature takes the view
that there is no money in the. treasury
with which to pay teachers. the am
swer is that the legislature is the only
agency in Porto Rico that can put
money in the treasury by proper rev.
enue measures said Commissioner
Miller. 1T Is high time that teachers
should have an addition Of real cash
rather than mere words or praise"
Rural teachers are receiving $40,
graded teachers $50, principals and
teachers Of English SIS month. This
is far from what they should receive
for their services in view Of the high
cost of living and especially in view of
the fact that Porto Rico has been
highly prosperous In recent years. Not
only has the assessed valuation of pro-
perry been Increased from $1s2, 100000
to $243,736,000 but our merchants have
made handsome profits due to war
prices and our planters have sold their
products at prices never received be-
fore.
On the other hand teachers salaries
were materially reduced by the leg
islature in 1914. Rural teachers have
since received an increase. Of 81 q
month which Is insignificant.
