What Other Editors Saw
THE REBEL YELL.

A fakir, in New York, remembering Barnum' S
famous remark that the world loved to be hum
bugged is advertising to teach the rebel Yell
in three lessons for the modest consideration of
three dollars.
Speaking of the rebel YELL the battle cry of
the bravest army that ever went down in defeat,
tn Norfolk Leader says:
"A hard school was that in which that yell
was born and it closed when the storm was ended
that beat with such ptiess fury upon these golden
shores. The last echoes of the yell died among
the foothills beyond Appomattox, passed with the
last rattle of musketry. 1t was yell Of fierce
conflict, a shout of defiance, cry surcharged
with emotions as incomprehensible to the Staten
Island peddler the mysteries of the universe to
drowsy child.
That yell is gone forever. 1t was the school
boys shout Of mirth shout of exuberance no
melody of happy days that nger to regale the lag
ging hours of age. Upon even the resolute lips of
other years that once sounded it, when the grapes
were of iron and the vintage of blood, there
comes now reminiscent smile when noisy fakirs
talk it. There was no graphophone that caught it
and for its reproduction, in these days of frater-
nifty and peace, the shepherd boy with his lutte
might well be summoned to sound the defiant
cry of the stormy petrol that swels only above the
raging waters. "-Montezuma Georgian

AVIATION APPROPRIATION FAILS.

Owing to the refusal of the House members
of the Conference Committee to agree to the ap-
preparation of 81 ) 100000 for the army aviation
service that item has been dropped from the gen
eral deficiency bill.
In commenting on this matter in the Senate
Senator Wadsworth, of New York, chairman of
the Military Affairs Committee, made plea for
separate department Of aeronautics to lift avia-
ton in the United States out of what he called
the shameful position" it has fallen into since the
arrnistce He asserted that the United States could
rot put three squadrons of airplanes into the air
should necessity demand them, and that if
existing conditions are allowed to continue it will
take twenty-five years to catch up with other
powers. Continuing, he said
The British and French governments have
c,eated government departments of air SER
vice They recognize that aviation has a trcmen-
dous commercial value that it is new department
If transportation as important in its element as is
maritime transportation in another element. 1t is
absolutely necessary that Congress establish sep
aTate department in charge of aviation.
Before the armstice, although it is true there
great waste, we had nevertheless established
huge industry and were at very high point of
production of planes and engines Immediately
all contracts were cancelled, establishments closed
and nothing has since been done to keep this
producing capacity organized. Congress has not
appropriated the money necessary to keep the
plants running. Why in July of this year just
fourteen airplanes were made in the whole United
States, while in the same month Great Britain
produced 1000. That shows how we are stand
ing still while others are going ahead.
There has been extravaganza and waste, but
it should be said that responsible men are now in
charge. The men who perpetrated the extrava-
gances and waste have been retired | have all
confidence in the present director of air service and
his leutenants"

"THE GREATEST MOTHER"

They called it the greatest mother in the
world" and never was title more richly deserved
for no small boy, sobbing for the parental arms
because he had cut his thumb turned to his mother
more instinctively than did the American soldier
turn to the Red Cross in his hour of pain and suf-
fering.
Such is the unanimous testimony of every
man returned from overseas and we at home may
well believe it, for we too, have sought instructive
ly the Red Cross when disasters have overwhelmed
our communities and whole cities have been ravag-
ed by fire and flood
Mother always made that cut thumb WELL
She bound it up, she wiped away the tears and
perhaps if it hurt particularly much, she kissed the
place-whch always seemed to help most of ALL
The greatest mother in the world" has been
no less successful. No soldier ever came to her
In agony that was not cured were curing possible;
no community ever lacked for her assistance. She
was there at the first cry.
What would we do without her? We would
be as lost and lonely as those who have cut
thumbs with to cure and comfort.
For two years she has been away and we
have missed her-ministering to the needs of our
cwn unfortunates and the unfortunates of other
countries. Now she has come back-the Mother
Of America and it is for us to strengthen her
arms for that great work for others that only
mothers do.
We salute her and we pledge our best
Mother of America, the greatest in the world.

A Bit of This and That
A NERVE-SHOCKED NATION.

This may offer real diagnosis of our present
acute national ills
The American people, individually and col
lectively hguratively and literally, are suffering
from bad case of nerve shock, in the opinion of
the most noted surgical and medical men of the
country, now attending the American College of
Surgeons Clinic, at New York.
The war, high living as shown by the unpre-
cedented business being done by restaurants, cab
arets and dance has-and general nervous tension
are exacting their toll, the doctors declare
Nervous disorders, arising from conditions
growing out of the war, have affected thousands of
men and women. In some cases, as with returned
soldiers, it manifests itself in what is called rest

and asked no injunction against the miners to pre-
vent them from doing so. But the government
does dispute the right of any men to organize
and lead a conspiracy against the welfare of the
country-aganst the people at large-and conse-
quently proceeded protect itself in its own courts
as the attorney general put it, IF the dispute had
been matter concerning only the miners and
operators, of course, the government would not
have acted at all. Or, had the public been con-
cerned only incidentally or even to the extent of
being inconvenienced, it is probable the govern
ment would have taken no cognizance of the strike
But in this it is the public which is vitality and
most interested and afected-and the government
has acted.
The attorney general in choosing to follow
the unusual course he has adopted, has proceeded
on the theory that strike can last long without
leadership, which explains his reason for enionng
the leaders
If Mr. Palmer plan brings early peace in the
dispute it will be a most happy solution Not
only labor, but the whole world will be the loser
if this unhappy struggle cannot be settled quickly
and peaceably.

PALMER'S NOVEL MOVE.

Apparently all the reporters covering the
injunction proceedings against the coal miners
union heads in Indianapolis Friday missed the
whole point of the governments contention. It
now develops from statement issued bv Attor-
ney General Palmer in Washington, that the gov
srnment's injunction was brought not against the
strike but against the union heads to prevent their
encouragement and leadership of the strike In
other words, the government does not dispute the

THE CHEERFUL GROCER.

GROCER Johnson is peach, and he should
be hired to teach optimism to his kind; he's
a man of hopeful mind In the thronging marts
of trade optimism seems decayed; nearly every
merchant prince seems to think that life's a
ounce, and he tells me tales of tears and of
doleful doubts and fears. Every day hear
spiel from the dealers as they DEAL hear
narrative of woe, and of commerce lying low,
lying prohtess and dead, and of frghtful times
ahead. Every day hear such bunk when go
to spend a plunk in the thronging marts of
trade, where the hams and spuds are weighed
But in Johnsons moral shop | have heard no
doleful yawp johnson skips around his store
leaving smoke along the floor and he murmurs
cheerful tunes he weighs his boneless prunes
Tired of hearing people beef. it's to me a great
relief to encounter, then and now one who has
unfurrowed brow and who chortles as he sells
hard boiled eggs and oyster shells Far too
many people whine in this little grad of mine
putting up doleful wheeze, when they should
be on their knees, thanking Providence all day
for the good that comes their way
