The most discouraging condition dur

in the report. has been the great In
crease In our costs of smelling and refin-
ing. while the company was without
power to correspondingly increase the
charges TO the mines for doing this
work. But these costs are already con-
siderably decreased. and although pre-
war costs may never be realized again
the board does expect that pre-war
profits per ton on ore smelted will be
obtained as soon as normal business is
resumed.

ABUSE OF THE PRESIDENT


In recent speeches Chairman Ho-
mer S. Cummings, of the Democratic
national committee, has called at
tention to the coarse and abusive
language in which many Republicans
afe COUGHING their criticisms Of Pres
ident Wilson. Not for decades has
an American president been subjected
10 such vituperation as that which is
now being leyeled at the cOuntry's
present chief magistrate. Two spec
linens from among many will not
only corroborate what Chairman
Cummings has said, but will also
serve to illustrate the way in which
Republicans are attempting to sub
stitute billingsgate for argument.
From the Kansas City Star, Re-
publican journal, we quote this ref
erence to President Wilson as com
ing from the mouth Of Chairman
VIII II. Hays, Of the Republican ma
tional committee:
1T has been said that his (Presi-
dent Wilson's) name will 60 down in
history linked with that of George
Washington. I will say that it was
a wise bird who picked out the
steamship on which President Viii
son sailed"
Even partisan like Mr.. Hays
ought to feel shame at the nasty i'm
plication in that fling. Does he
think that the average American
whatever his political creed - will
brook, much less enjoy, an attempt at
joking about the possible drowning
Of the president?
Taking its cue from Mr.. Hays,
seemingly, a sheet issued by the Re-
publican national committee repro
duces from the Salt Lake Herald,
Republican organ, a crude but IN
tensely malicious diatribe of which
President Wilson is the subject, One
extract from this effusion will furthel
exeinplify the animus and tenor Of
the presidents critics. Under the
title, king of the World" the pres
ideht is made to say:
Chin music hath power to stir
the savage beast, and my records are
now being played by Lenine and
Trotsky. The ape and the anarchist
understand my philosophy better
than pcaple who attempt to gain
knowledge from books and newspa-
pers.'
If Republican orators and newspa-
pers are unable to be fair, can't they
make an effort at least to be decent?

OIL IN WEST TENNESSEE ?

The organization in Somerville a
few days ago of a company to make
a test boring for oil in this county
has in it wonderful prospects for the
town and county. The existence Of
oil in the depths of the earth under
the county is said to be sure by those
who have studied oil and its exist
ence and channels. If this
test proves successful the county viii
be many times multiplied in riches
and will make veritable "land Of
milk and honey" if it proves unsuc-
cessful these men will have lost what
they put into it. Which it may be,
none can tell. We are on the oil
line from northeast to southwest and
those who know tell us the oil is
here. Only the test can answer for
us, and we propose to make the test.

We hope our brethren to the south
Of as will have better success than
did many Of the best and most pro-
gressive citizens Of our county, who,
a few years ago, formed stock COM
pany, bought machinery and bored
for oil in the southwestern part Of
Upton county. Oil was found, it is
frue, but not in sufficient quantities
TO be profitable. The trouble about
stock companies in this country dur
ing the past few years has been in
most instances that only the fellow
who sold the stock has made any
money out Of the project.

By the Secretary.
Z. W. Bringle, L. E. GwiRn, L. X.
Baird, o. 3. Tenant, r. V. Downing,
Heber Green and j. W. Darby went
to Dyersburg Tuesday night to meet
with the state highway commission
and the representative Of other coun-
ties along the JEFF Davis highway.
The object Of the meeting was to
learn the, plans of the state commits
sion regarding the improvement of
our highway, to ascertain the amount
Of state and federal aid available and
to find out Just what will be expected
of the counties.
The meeting was in every sense a
satisfactory one. The plans of the
state highway department are about
as follows:
The Memphis Bristol and the
JEFF Davis highways are to be built
at once according to the most approx
ed standards of permanent roads.
Work has already begun, and will
be pushed to completion as soon as the
engineering can be done. The state
and federal governments will pay
two-thirds of the cost Of the work,
and, to comply with the requirements
Of the government, the work will be
done under the direction Of the state
highway department. If perma-
nent type Of construction is used ii
is the plan of the department to
maintain the road after it is built.
The engineering will be done at the
expense of the state. The counties
have only to furnish the right of way
and One-third of the money.
Now, by way of comment, we
might say there are great many
good roads enthusiasts in Upton
county, but we venture to say that
none Of them have dreamed that we
would get two-thirds Of the money
necessary to build our roads furnish
ed from outside sources. Lauderdale
and Dyer counties have already made
their appointments to meet the
state and federal aid, and our guess
is that Upton county will not be left
in the mud when our people come to
decide the question. AS soon as these
main highways are completed other
roads are to be taken up with the
same state and federal aid as these
roads get. This is the promise Of the
state commissioners, and we are sure
they know what they are talking
about. A letter recently received
bv them from Senator Mcclellan
states that even larger appropriations
for road purposes are being planned
by the next Congress than were made
by the last Congress. Let us keep to-
gether and get our part Of all that
we are entitled to, for we may rest
assured that our brethren in the
northern states will "get theirs"
The commissioners reported at the
Dyersburg meeting that in East Ten
nessee the people were so enthusiast
tic on the question Of road building
that they would take every dollar OF
state and federal aid available on a
basis of one to one, and not even ask
for the rate of two to one.

Men Hard To Get

One of Alaska's big war sacrifices
was the delay in the work on the gov
eminent railroad. During the war
men were hard 10 get as they were
needed in France ships were wanted
to carry troops overseas instead of
railroad supplies to Alaska and rail
road materials were sent from the
states to the battle fields instead of
to the north.
But now that the war is over, Alas
ka hopes to see the work on the road
pushed. The road would have been
completed in 1921 If Congress had
appropriated the s10.00G,000. Mana

GRATIFYING RESULTS.

It is exceedingly gratifying to the
people of this city. especially those
who are sick. that the ahominablo
muffler nuisance has been almost
abated. The police force has worked
hard 10 stop il. persuing course OF
personal solicitation rather than the
quicker and more effective method
of landing the viulators before the
police judge. We have felt all along
that there has been no wilful disposi-
ton on the part o. the average auto
list TO ignore the law. but he has per
mitied himself TO be led into the
practice by those who have no regard
Tor law or anything else. There are
still a few OF those running automo-
biies in the city, and out OF c0nsid-
Grafton for the men who have listen
ed TO the suggestion of the officers
no exception should be made. Suffi-
eient warning has been given. The
Law should now take it's course. In
the meantime the public certainly
appreciates the progress that has
been made.
