AMERICA FIRST CONCERT CO.
GAVE FINE ENTERTAINMENT

3 The entertainment furnished by the
America First Concert Company, under
the auspices Of America First Associa-
ton, on Monday evening and on Tues
day afternoon and evening, of this
week, was Of a high order, equalling, If
not SURPRISING any number thus far
given in the University Course. DR.,
F. Osten- Sacken whose fame as speak
err on loyalty and community interests
is well nigh national, proved himself
equally forcible in presenting the sub
ject of Americanization and good citi-
zenship He condemned severely the
lawloss and radical element in our
country which is spreading the spirit
of discomfort and advocating principles,
which if adopted would mean the death
blow to orderly government. No one
who heard the doctor but were stirred
to greater appreciation Of their
duties and responsibilities as citizens
of this republic. In these days of un-
rest and reconstruction it behooves all
good citizens to take an interest in
civic affairs.
& The musical part Of each program
was most excellent and delighted all
present. All members Of the company
are artists in their line. Miss Amy
Dorith, directories, proved herself a
sweet singer and a skillful vi0linist.
Miss Edna Lee was great favorite
with the audience as a cellist and con-
tralto singer. Mr.. j. Fleischman is a
most skillful performer on the flute and
Mr.. Robert Souther proved himself y
master il manipulating the keys Of the
piano. Every musical number on the
three programs was well rendered and
most Of them were enthusiastically en-
cored. High class musical entertain
ment and the preaching Of the gospel
OF Americanizat1on and good citizenship
is a combination that appeals strongly
to- any Intelligent audience. Should the
America First Concert Co. come this
way again they can be assured Of even
a larger audience than greeted them
here this time. ss 3 80

been spent in improving the chan

from Coblenz is a big fortress, the
strongest before-the-war fortress in
Germany. 1t commands the highest

the surrounding country can be
seen from there. On a tall flagstaff

SOME WORK UNDONE

SUME WONA ONDOINE
Governor Brough has decided not
"a call special session Of the leg
Mature.
If is remembered that the last
6eueral assembly made appropria-
Hons that exceeded the incoming
eyeuue 10y something like $6OO,0OO,
and Gov Brough, quite naturally,
Wanted the general assembly to
make some provision to meet the
appropriations that body had made
with such generous hand.
Gov. Brough put the matter Of a
apecial session TO remedy this con-
t3ition up TO members of the leeis
lalure themselves, with the result
HAT a great majority OF the lesisla,
fors we're found to look ON the spec
ial session with great degree OF
dlsfavOr.
The Record said in this column
Two weeks ago that the legislature
ls too cowardly to meet the respon-
abilities and results of its own acts
lace to face, and evidence of the
fruthfulness of that statement con-
finues to accumulate.
M We repeat that it is a mystery
10 US why members of the legisla-
lure will sit day after day and vote
Tor one appropriation after another
bntil the appropriations far exceed
The revenue, and then deliberately
Throw up the job without having
provided for payment of the con-
tracts it has made.
There is no bay-horse sense in
an action like that. There is no
display of ability of any kind in a
+ thing like that.
H We tell you again, members Of
The legislature know that they
must do either one of two things:
MTney must keep the appropri-
y Eations within the revenue or plunge
@tne state into debt. They IauSt,
when they make appropriations in
excess of the revenue, raise the
ate OF taxation TO meet the appfJ-
priations, or plunge the state into
z4 debt.
That is the proposition in a nut.
shell. The legislature prefers to
make appropriations that exceed
|fathe revenue by $60O,00O, and then
gthrow their hands in the deck and
quit the game.
Ef WhyY Because, while members
of the general assembly are willing
| TO say by their votes that the ap-
Preparations are necessary, they are
not willire to say by their votes
W that taxes ought to be raised to
provide money to pay the appro-
N ptiations.
| The legislature Is too cowardly to
M raise taxes, That body knows
M what the people would say about
that.
Everybody knows that the appro.
priations should be kept within the
revenue. Why will the general as
sembly not put that knowledge to
practical useY
To relieve the financial situation
created by the last general assem-
N bly, Gov. Brough has exercised his
veto power and deducted $500,00O
from the appropriations to be paid
out Of the general revenue fund,
That was a good deed, and the
governor could do nothing less and
deal fairly with the people, Even
at that the governor did not veto
all the amount Of excess appropria-

We are not a farmer, and are
not advising those who till the
sell what to plant, when to plant or
how to cultivate after they have
planted, but we do know that the
wise farmer this season is going to
make an energetic effort to raise
the food crops that are needed to
support his family and winter his
stock, and to keep free from debt.
" hile one never knows about the
market in advance, there seems
now to be no probability for the
price of cotton to rise very much
above the cost of production 10
these days of high prices, and the
prudent farmer is not going cotton
crazy this year. Statistics show
that the production of grain crops
in the South last year was two
hundred million bushels short in
comparison with the yield of the
year before. We have seen and
felt the effects Of this grain shortage
in the South.

ing the state debt by making appro.
priations that cannot be met by the
revenue, and calls upon the news
papers Of the state to lay the facts
before the people. From observa.
ton it must be admitted that the
newspapers of the state are not 80
ing to do anything like that. So
far as we see the newspapers Of
the state, but two have offered the
slightest criticism of the legislature
fer the methods II uses ia financing
the state. One of these is the New
ark Journal. Men differ about
what the mission of a newspaper Is
