In Light of What South
Did, Germany Can Pay Up

physically and financially TO an extent
infinitely beyond anything seen in Ger
many. So fearful were the conditions
brought about by the war and the 10
years Of reconstruction n Of negro
domination that between 1865 and 1900,
and very largely in the earlier part Of
that period, 5000. 900 whites emigrated
70 other sections, including about 1907
600 to Texas and other parts of the
Southwest. About $4,000 900 went en-
tirely beyond the borders of the South.
In 1850 the South only had about $780,
900 white people, Therefore, the emil
grafton between 1865 and 1900 Of $780,
600 whites. largely of the more ener-
getic element, which went out to make
a home somewhere else, was almost as
great as the total white population of
the South in 1860. This drain upon
the Mississippi river. This movement
of population poured into the North
west and into the Southwest and out
to the Pacific coast, and also largely
into New York andNother Northern cit
les, in which Southern men found an
opportunity for employment which they
could not find at home.
Despite this unprecedented condition
of IA years of war and reconstruction
and the years of emigration of many
of its best people, the South in 1915, or
at the end of so years after the closeE
u lHt Wal Hdu u larger output IN man
fractures and in agriculture than the
entire country had in 1880, though the
population in 1880 exceeded the popu-
lation Of the South In 1915 by II, 900, 900.
Germany was not invaded during the
war. Its arms and factories were not
destroyed. It's whole life went on act
lively and aggressively with the excep-
ton of its foreign trade. Germany
maintained it's millions OF troops at the
front, and yet continued its vast bust
ness activities at home, Its people
gladly subscribed more than $50, 900, 000,-
900 for the purpose of carrying on the
war, expecting to loot the world and
become enormously rich through rob-
bling others.
From the day when the Southern
states were readmitted into the union
they began to pay their share of the
taxation for the pensions to union SOL
| diers and for the maintenance of the
government. They were at the end Of
the war without capitat, with a disor-
ganized labor system, with their agri-
cultural and manufacturing interests al
most completely destroyed, their coun-
try drained of livestock to feed the
armies, and with every dollar of Sc
curities issued for carrying on the war
wiped out Of existence. But the South
heroically met these appalling condi-
tons, and within so years attained its
marvellous production, surprising in
many respects that Of the entire coun-
try in 1880.
In this fact may be found a sugges-
ton as to why Germany could within
the next so years easily pay an indem-
nifty far beyond anything which So
called political economists and finan-
ciers who do not looK to the future
would think possible at present. The
entire cost of the war could be placed
upon Germany, and Germany could in
time pay it, and the best moral inter-
ests of, civilization demand that this
shall be Observation-Disclosures Record.

The lawyer was sitting at his desk
absorbed in the preparation Of a brief.
SO intent was he on his work that he
did not hear the door as it vas pushed
gently open, nor see the curly head
that was thrust into his office. A little
sob attracted his notice and, turning,
he saw a face that was streaked with
tears and told plainly that feelings had
been hurt,

YES. What do you WANT"

years old and well known throughout
the state and county in banking cir
cles. His death came as a great sur
prise to the community.
Mr.. Wardell had the custom of go
ing to New York City every Wednes-

would go on the trip. Yesterday as
usual he went to the city and return
ed last night on the 6:2S train. He

To Ask Amendment to State
Constitution Next Year

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Nov. 20-In view Of
the apparent legal inability of the
state courts to do other than dis
charge patients from feeble-minded
institutions or those caring for idiots
and imbeciles, when they talk coher-
emily and appear rational. when APP
plications are formally made for
their discharge by parents or guar
dams. It is likely that the Department
of Institutions and Agencies will ask
the next Legislature to take steps
looking toward an amendment to the
state constitution TO remedy this sit
uation. 1t is claimed that in many
of these cases the patients are really
not fit to be free from the custody
OF the institutions in which they are
confined and to be at large and that
their offspring inherit the anne de-
fscts with a consequent detriment to
social conditions and the welfare of
the people generally.
A resolution to the foregoing effect
was presented by Commissioner or
Institutions and Agencies Burdette G.
Lewis to the New Jersey Conference
for Social Welfare held here yester-
day. 1t is hoped hat legislation may
be enacted to cure the situation, but
in view OF the fact that the courts
have taken the position that the
fault lies in the State Constitution. it
is believed the remedy Will have to
be in hat direction.
