Vernon sailed from Brest there
were certain congressman men
on board who insisted on taking
the places of soldiers. The con-
gressmen had done no military
duty, but they wanted to get
home. So did the soldiers, who
had been thru bell and out again
that congressman might live and
draw fat salaries and talk inter-
minably in a comfortably uphol-:
stored council chamber.
The soldiers were left behind.
Some soldier were allowed to
come-after the congressman had
all been assured that room would
be made for them. But the SOL
diers were not allowed to keep
the quarters that had been as
signed to them. Army officers
who had been thru the fiercest of
tie fighting were compelled to
give up their staterooms Ito pro-
fessional politicians who found
Prince Alberts more mfortable
than khaki. The officers were
not eager to make the change,
but the politicians insisted.
The matter is trivial, and yet
it has it's bearing on philosopy.
1t rarely pays to be a hero-in
some one else's behalf. The
world has changed very little
since the days Of Sennacherib.
We speak of the recent war as a
holacust, a catalcysm. We give
it several of the names that are
the commonpIaces of bromide
journalese. we declare that the
world has been revolutionized-
human nature is now me:amor-
!, ',Csed. transformed.
It isn't much transformed. 1t
will take US about a year to real
ize what singular durability the
more nauseous traits of human
character have shown in surviv-
ing a purging process (which
should have eliminated them.
1t will be chiefly noticeable in
those who did not really 90 thru
the purging process at all. Any
congressman whose natural vuI-
garjty formed the keynote of his
character before the war Nill con
tinue to exhibit that yu!gsrity to
the end of his political activities. $.

The Government Owner
ship Farce.

snip + Fafce.
If the government operation
was to be made the lever to make
government ownership of rail-
roads possible, it has resulted in
a farce,
That is a mild term for it. as
it is more than likely to prove a
ira sedy, or at best I. tragic com
ely, with the public at least.
Congress is asked to provide
1900 millions to carry on the
farce for the current yer, the
deficit the first four months be.
ing greater than the deficit for
the past year.
A total of 81, ,7O0,O60. 900 has
been necessary for taxpayers un-
der government control-a sum
beyond the grasp of the ordinary
citizen, and he can only grasp for
wind, and face the taxes.
1t is now expected that the
railroads will be returned to pri.
vate management by the first of
October, and so there are no ex-
tentions planned for this year by
the big systems.
Railroad development has pra
ctically been at a standstiIl for
two years, and the only big di
rect effect of government oper-
alton has been artificial stimu-
lat;on of payrolls.
The railrcal properties face
the two prongs of Gilemma-to
reduce operating expenses to
their ncomes, or to ask rec .iver
ships and raise rates all around.
Either proposition will meet
with reducing wages
will be resisted by organized la
Dor ar d political infiueuces that
want the labor raising
rates will be resisted by shippers
and producers.

for higher pay, and freight goes
up. Every one of these strikes
pinches the physician. the farmer
and the bookkeeper; but if these
also strike, prices will merely go
higher s,ill.
The money that is to provide
all these wage increases must
come from somewhere and we
are told that that it mnst come
from the capitalist. But there
isn't capital enough now to f.
nance industry; so eventually 1t
will not be obtainable from this
source. The farmer has fairly
clear conception of these things;
though one of the middle class, he
is capitalist himself.
The physician and the book
keeper are at present squeezed
between capital and labor, but
they have the intelligence to see
that if they form independent
unions they will simply increase
the general scarcity. So the
whole middle class has federated
in Great Britian, and determined
to vote solid against any legisla-
ton that favors any defined class
whether capitalist. professional,
clerical, or industrial.
There seems to be logic in tn S
move. We haven't come to it yet
in America but we can't fail to
notice that legislation appears in
creasingIy to be designed for the
benefit of this or that social grade
rather than for the nation as a
whole. And the only effect of it
is constant diminution of products
and distributed wealth while
the dollar sinks steadily to half
the value that it represented six
years ago.

Cause For Candy Consumption.

Cause For Candy Consumption.
Prohibition has encouraged the
manufacture of all kinds of sweet
foods and drinks to take the
place of the huge sums formerly
spent for alcohol.
The consumption of candy and
sugar in various forms is increas-
ing and the simple fact is that
chocolates and bonbons contain
more "calories to the pound'
than booze.
Young and old crave sweets
simply for the stored vitality and
concentrated food value, because
the cheapest forms of candy con-
centrated food value, because
the cheapest forms Of candy con-
tain l4OO "calories to the poun.
what are "calorins to the
pound. Simply so many units
of life giving heat or energy.
sugar being exceeded only by
rice ard corn, and even milk is
left far behind.
While there has been a nation
lie prur"grsn.la to create great
vr con. unipticn of milk and
prices of dairy products have
gone yv;.rd, sugar has not
climbed.
The special 5 per cent excise
tax on candy should he repealed
us adding to cost of living. There
is not tax on milk.

Parlor BoIshevisn1.

Dangers of revolution in our
country emanate from two sour
ces-the er-educated college
theorist and the ndcr-educated
toiler who takes all his ideas from
the >oapboxers. Neither of them
is a taxpayer.
The great middle class, who
have homes and pay taxes, who
reads and think for them selves,
who earn their living by labor or
carry on business by their own
initiative do not accept the doc
trines of Bolshevism.
The son Of a college professor
at Boston. who is master of five
languages has been arrested for
bolshevism and for the use Of
language which consigned the
American flag to the hot place.
He graduated from Harvard
at Is and now is twentyonc years
old and a fulfil ,dged Bolshevik.
Chances are he would not
know a pick axe or a crow bar it
he met them on the street, and
could not distinguish the differ
ence between Il trowel and a
dornick.
He is a horrible example of the
kind cf "worknen" who do all
their lahoring with their mouths
and who absorb fantas tic notions
about labor.

Rv Associated Pres,

Sporting circles in Paris are ex- pectant in view of the official chal- lenge by Descamps, Carpenters man ager, to Dempsey through the 1nterna- ti5nal Boxing corporation yesterday.
 Carpenter told the Associated Press yesterday that he was not concerned about the arrangements and was leav- ing for England Monday.
 The general opinion in Paris IS that Dempsey would not be willing to come to France, while Carpenters expressed willingness to go to America or Aus tralia has caused renewed enthusiasm.
 q wish that this matter could be ar ranged as soon as possible" said Car pentier today, "so that I might go to work.

PRED BASKETBALL
 PROSPECTS GOOD

Anniston December Especially Wit hthe football seaso mover and the reverses suffered at the hands of stronger teams throughout the year forgotten, the Preds have taken up basketball with the prospect of turn ing out a formidable team Practice has been held daily for about two weeks. and the first game is sched uled for next Thursday evening. A game was to be held Thursday of this week with the St. Clair County High school of Pell City but the opponents called off the cotnest at the last min ute, postponing it until next Thursday when they will meet the Preds at the Anniston Athletic club. Coach Rives announced Saturday that should the Pen City team again cancel the game another team will be brought here in- stead.
 The basket ball squad is composed of practically the same men who made up the football team. Capt. Statom- of the football team and Edmondson, who played an end, are the leading candi- dates for forward positions. Cockrell Phillips and Turner are showing up best at guards, and Sanders and Car michael are making strong bids for center. Beck, who was counted on strongly for the basketball team. has not recovered from a severely sprained ankle suffered during the football sea son It will probably be some time before he is able to play regularly.
 Coach Rivers. who played football and basket ball four years at William and Mary college, and who coached the Pred Reserves during the football sea son. turning out a team that did not lose game, is well prepared to handle the basket ball squad. He expects his team to turn in good number of vic- tories before the season is over.
 So far the schedule has not been completed, but games will be held on the local court with Pell City, Talla- dega, Calera, Opelika Oxford and oth CTS, according to present plans. A road trip is being arranged which will in clude games at Birmingham, Tusca- loosa Meridian, Hattiesburg, Mobile and Montgomery, if plans for the schedule materialize.
