OVERALLS PRO AND CON

Nashville Tennessean: The Overall cIub

 Nashville Banner: What will it profit

 shirt, s20 shoes, an imported hat and
 smokes 25-cent cigars?
 Baltimore American: The manufactu- rcrs of overalls, particularly, will view the popular movement to get into denim
 as splendid exhibition of common sense.
 Chicago News: The adoption of over
 alls as a uniform. however, speaks we'll

 are made to work in not to play in. Let
 the consumer put his overalls to their logical use and work at productive labor in them and he will quickly insure him
 self abundance as well as annihilate the
 profiteers. If he merely parades in
 them. shouting ferocious war cries and neglecting to produce anything worth while, his revolution will not get very far.
 Selma Times Journal: The wear over alls'' campaign which has broken out in Gadsden, Birmingham and other places as protest against the high cost of clothing, like many other similar cru sades against a universal economic tel< dency will prove shortlived and a5ortive because it is illogical and promises no remedial results It is not shown any where that the prices of clothing prepor- iticnately are any higher than the prices of other things. and if the reason d'etre of the movement is resentment at the | fabulous sums the clothiers want for their merchandise it would be a simple proceeding to enlarge the list of alleged 'sprofiteers' to include, practically all
 other retailers and wholesalers who sell for profit.

More Thrift

"BenjfYfin Franklin, because of hls saying that a penny saved is penny made, is receiving considerable adver- tising at the hands of government thrift stamp agents. a package of pie lures of Franklin having been received at the Birmingham postoffice yester- day afternoon" said Ed Norman. as- s'stant postmaster. MT. Norman is keen for the thrift club work and says that all the ills the flesh of commerce is heir to is caused by not taking Franklin's advice.
 "The new thrift stamp advertising is for the use of places that sell war savings stamps and can be pasted on glass by first wetting the glass and sticking the advertising on the wet surface"

 Birmingham men are wearing overalls to cut down the high cost of clothing. But what are the women doing in saw ing way? They probably cant wear any fewer clothes. but gingham or calico dresses and cotton stockings, like mother used to wear. and sunbonnets might help some.

Another Bloody Incident
 of Russia's "Red Terror"

1T " caused by bolshevik rule in Russia is related in delayed dis patch from Bucharest. When the yacht Ostara, stranded at Sulina, one of the mouths of the Danube, was searched by soldiers, the bodies of eleven noted Russian men and women were found floating about in the cabin, which was half filled with water. Each of the victims had been shot n the head. They were members of the two famous Russian families of Falzfein and Skadowski.
 No living person was on board the derelict, but a fortune of fourteen million rubles in gold, paper and jewels, which was found, would seem to indicate that robbery was not the motive of the person or per sons who killed the Russians. They might, it is believed, have committed suicide after their yacht had become separated from a steamer which was towing it to Constanza, and after they had made unavailing attempts to beach the vessel.
 The two families fled from their estates to Odessa and when the bol sheviki arrived there in February, got aboard the Ostara to continue their flight. Nothing much is known of their movements until they were discovered in the cabin of the de- serted yacht, the elder Falzfein still clasping a pistol in his hand. The Falzfeins had befriended the King and Queen of Rumania.
 How many stories, even more tragic and baffling, could be told of unhappy Russia, since the downfall of the Car! There were tragedies enough before, yet the bulk of the Russian people knew no such hor- TOTS as they have experienced since Lenine and Trotzky got control and the country became shambles, with murder, rapine, disease and hunger pursuing the miserable peo- pie no matter where they turn.

 American Government Should
 Be Represented at San Reno wv HAT a contrast between ''., the w sessions of the allied pre- miers in Paris when MT. Wilson was present and the meetings of the su- preme council which have just be- gun at San Remo! America is con- spicuous by its absence from the council board, although the all i'm portant question of the Turks flu tue is being considered, besides such other matters as the allied oc- cupation of the Ruhr basin and the treaty with Hungary, which the Hungarian government may refuse to sign.
 There was time when we liked s to believe that President Wilson was the dominant figure among the "Big Four," or the Big Five" ii we include Japan. Perhaps Eu rope's willy diplomats dA succeed Ito a certain extent in defeating the lofty purpose of MT.
