The action of congress. or rather OF
the house, in passing the bill introduc-
ed by Congressman Stevenson to give
warehoused cotton and other non
perishable agricultural prouucts more
liberal treatment in the banks, is ali
event of unusual significance. There
is special, or class legislation in the
proposition; but it is in the way Of just
evening up rather than in the direction
of favoritism. From all time down to
present, the banking systems have
Disseminated against the many in
favor of the few, and the farmers es-
pecially have been called upon to bear
the heaviest burdens. The effect of the
bill now in the way Of passage, If it
becomes law, will only be to put the
farmer where he will have something
like an equal show with other business
people.

Bella Kun. the Bolshevik dictator of
Hungary, has stepped down and out.
He did not give up voluntarily. The
Allies gave the Hungarian people to
understand that they would not make
peace with Bella Kun and that unless
the BolShevik leader should get out of
the way, no food wosld be allowed to
go into Hungary. Then, also, the
Roumanians have been getting the best
Of the Hungarian armies and it was
looking as if Hungary could no long
er stand alone. There was another
consideration. Although Bella Kun
himself was resolved to hold on till
death, believing that he would one
day wear a crown of martyrdom, the
health of his wife was such that it
was clear that she could no longer
stand the strain. The Bolshevik leader
made a speech in which he warned the
people that their surrender now
would result in their -snslavement
by the nobility and capitalistic class
es, and with sobs in his voice and his
eyes streaming with tears. he gave it
up. He was taken to Vienna where
he will be held in internment.

Information comes from the Amer
lean intelligence department at Cob
lenz that the Germans have made con-
siderable progress in evading the con-
dition of the peace treaty that limits
their army to comparatively unim-
portant force for possible offense. There
hundred thousand men was the limit
fixed. 1t was specified In effect that
no more than that should be enlisted
in the national army. But now 1t de-
velops that most of the able bodied
men of the former German empire are
being enlisted as local militia formed
to serve only in the keeping Of order
about their respective home cities.
They are not required to take oath to
serve the fatherland in case CT inva-
sion. It is realized, however, that upon
the completion of the organization Of
the local forces, in case Of need 1t will
he easy to bring ali these forces to-
gether into one big army.

found recognition and instead of the

found recognition and instead Of the
two countries flying at each others
throats, they settled their differences
amicably, and the monument just
mentioned was erected in commemo-
ration Of what Is entitled to be re-
garded as one Of the greatest Of human
victories.
Intelligent and truthful analysis of
business and economic conditions in
connection with selfish ambitions as
exploited through governmental agen-
cies one hundred years ago and now
will show that they are practically the
same France was trying to win COM
mercial and industrial asceri ncv over
the world, just as England then as
now, was trying to maintain what she
had. This time, it was Germany in
stead Of France that was trying to
establish for herself the place at the
top.
AS England fought France then she
was fighting Germany now, and II
things continue in the way they are
bent, in the next war which is as sure
as were those that have already come,
it will be England, France, Germany,
Japan, or some other country, that
will be striving to establish its domi-
nation over the others.
So that old Lion Of Waterloo may as
well be left as he is for If he Is
changed now because Of present con-
ditions the time will come when it will
be equally appropriate to change him
again.
Ii the nations would erect monu-
ment with possibilities of permanency,
they must take their idea from the
statue m the mountain divide between
Chile and Argentina and live up to the
eternal principles it is calculated to
inspire.

The principal reason why the gov
ernment had to take over the railroads
was because they had been all but
wrecked by the financiers AS to
whether the railroads can now be sue
cessfully managed by the employees
there is room fer more or less doubt;
but at any rate the employees cannot
do much worse in the long run than
the "inanciers'' have done. And II the
railroads are to be wrecked again won't
it be just as we'll to have the wreckins
done by the employees as the "fnan-
eiers." Anyway we take 1t the eco
nomic problem with which tae country
4. confronted in this connection Is very
serious.

their former control. Congress is in
formed that unless the government
purchases the railway systems and
makes provision for their operation on
a basis which will give the employees a
share in the earnings, widespread eco
nomic disaster will follow. The
American Federation Of Labor, through
President Samuel Gompers, has given
its full endorsement to the programme
by the railroad employees. 1t
is estimated that the proposed ar
rangement will add at least s1,00O,00O
a year to the cost Of operating and
maintaining the railroads. The ulti-
matum thus submitted is practically
the same as that of September, 1916,
when congress was compelled to enact
the eight hour day law, and there
seems to be a general realization
official Washington that
the situation has got to be met.

said that the only thing lacking abou.
the barbecue Saturday was brass
band and pot Of coffee; but the en-
ployees Of the mills who were the
guests of the occasion thought that
nothing was lacking.
Following the sumptuous repast
short talks were made by Col. Arm
strong, and Mr.. w. d. Grist, editor Of
The Yorkville Enquirer. Col. ARM
strong wanted the employees Of the
mill to understand that the manage
ment was interested and vitality so in
Its employees, was anxious to see them
take more than a mere wage earners
interest In the business and the
management proposed to take more
than a mere employers interest in the
employees.
No man who Is content to work for
a salary all his life need ever hope to
be any further along on Saturday
afternoon than he was on the previous
Monday morning. II he expects to get
along IN the world he must save some
thing, at least a part Of what he
makes, and among the ways to do 1t
Is to take stock in q building loan as
|sociation, or II that Is not convenient
to buy war savings certificates any
thing to ensure the constant laying up
Of a part Of your wages, the accumu-
lation Of capital for the future.
Get acquainted with your banker,
the colonel urged. Open up accounts
with him, a checking account and q
savings account and look after both OF
them. Go further than that. Borrow
money at the bank. Even IL you do
not need the money, borrow 1t any
way. Borrow 1t to prove to yourself
what you can do. Leave the money
In the bank, check 1t out and put 1t
back, meet your interest payments
promptly, and keep up the operation
until your banker Is able to take your
measure for promptness and reliabili-
ty. You will do this against the time
when 1t will be to your advantage to
have standing at the bank. i would
not like to tell you how much have
borrowed since, but was forty years
old before I was able to convince my
selr and the banker that my note was
worth thousand dollars, and before
/ I learned by experience that good
credit rightly used affords the surest
road to prosperity and success.
Then there Is another thing that
would like to impress. If there are
among you any who are dissatisfied
with this business, any who are not
convinced that this Is the best business
in. the world for you, you are doing
yourself "a grave injustice. No man
should follow business or occupation
in which he has no confidence, and IL
there are any who hold that view OF
this business I advise them to get out
Of it. I say to everybody here that IL
| II Is in him this business offers as
much promise of opportunity for him
as any business In which he can ever
expect to be engaged. or as does any
other business. But no one Of you
must be content to continue for
ever in your present position. You
must aim higher than that. Set your
ambition on one day being superin-
tendent, and every honest effort you
make in that direction will lift you
further on the way.

Congress Is seriously considering tn,

Congress Is seriously considering the
question Of reducing the amount of
currency in circulation as a means Of
reducing the cost of living. Many au-
thorities in monetary science hold to
the idea that the tremendous imitation
OF the past two years has resulted in
the cheapening Of money. AS money
would become cheaper prices would go
higher and wages would become in
adequate to meet living conditions.
Since each increase of wages is follow
ed by still higher prices, hope Of ul-
innate stabilization of prices is set
forward that much in the future, and
it is believed by many that curtailment
Of the volume Of currency in circu-
lation will serve as a corrective. Very
few, however, think that this curtail-
ment can be effected without very
considerable temporary hardship.

The common information from the
recent wet season over the> county is
that it was beneficial rather than
harmful. This is with the exception
of the sandy lands and the blackjacks
especially the low, fiat blackjacks In
the southeastern part of the county
There most of the cotton and corn has
been badly hurt-some people say as
much as 80 or 40 per cent.
That was some golden advice that
Col. c. B. Armstrong gave the young
folks Of this county at the Lockmore
barbecue in Yorkville last Saturday
afternoon. and coming as it does from
a man who has made good over all
manner Of adverse conditions, Is en-
titled to all the more thoughtful con-
sideration. The suggestion that alb
scessed with the idea that the business
he is in is not as good as some other
business should get out of the
business he is in and go into the busi-
ness he thinks Is better, is absolutely
sound, and II Is just as applicable 10
any other business as it is to mill
work. The moral which the colonel
intended, of course, and the moral
which will be understood, is that the
secret of success lies in faithful in
telligent application to whatever
work, and that no man is likely to
make much Of success of anything
except by faithful and intelligent ap-
lication. But nothing the colonel said
was wiser or more to the point than
his urgent advice as to getting ac-
quainted with the bankers and max
ing use of the banks. No man has
ever become a business success with
ont first having learned to save and
rare 1. deed is the case Of boy who
has learned to save ever being busi-
ness failure.
