VETERAN EDITOR DEAD

Morristown, N. j., May 17.-Wm.
Dalton Mann, former member of
Congress from Alabama, and for
some years editor and owner of The
Mobile Register, died at his home here
today. Mr.. Mann was editor of Town
Topics, and, with Arthur Grissom,
founded the Smart Set Magazine.
Death was due to influenza. Mr..
Mann was in the eighty-first year of
his life. He is survived by the widow
and one daughter, Mrs, Elizabeth
Mann Dynne.
Deceased was born in Sandusky,
Ohio, September ~, 1899, and was
educated as a civil engineer. Upon
the outbreak of the civil war he en-
tered the union army as captain,
and subsequently organized and COM
manded the Seventh Michigan Caval-
ry with the rank of colonel

CLOSING UP THE WAR

The most important and far reach
ing step, since the signing of the
armistice, looking to the closing of
the war, was enacted the past week
at Hythe, England, when Lloyd
George and Millerand met to discuss
and arrange for the reperation which
Germany is to pay. No specific amount
was agreed upon but financial experts
are To- consider Gemany's ability to
pay now, as well as her recuperative
power and paying ability in the flu
ture and these factors will largely
determine the amount, The plan
The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1920-05-23

The commission should be composed
Of men and women who are trained
sociologists, imbued with the loftiest
ideals Of home and citizenship, and
should be paid prineely salaries, ae-
tuated BY no motive save the perform
ance Of their conscientious duty. One
picture, it is estimated, has produced
more than ten million dollarsl Don't
you see the colossal extent Of the
evil?
The laws enforcement is democrat
lied, like everything else is demon
allied. The whole world is undergo
ing a psychological change, and where
it will land God only knows. Right
here in Columbus we are doing things
and tolerating things which in the
past would have been regarded as an
offense against good citizenship. II
is all in the tendency Of the times,
which are demoralized, responding to
the changed conditions following the
war. The pendulum's swing may
bring us to anything before the final
adjustment is made.
The thought which occurs to every
man is, what is duty in this period ?
The reply is to stand for righteous
ness and right in everything. Con-
science easily draws the line of de-
marcation--the way is clear. The
moral forces of the world must be
marshaled for the conflict which is
going on all around us today. And
of the outcome there can be no ques-
ton. Truth and Justice and Godli-
ness and Morality will be enthroned
in the hearts Of men. Else the world
will be lost.

seems to tax her to the limit Of her
paying power without destroying her
ability to pay
But the plan Of payment is the
thing. Her initial payment Of gold
viii 90 10 Belgium Then comes
England, France and the other coun-
tries. England, which generally gets
hers at any council, has generously
consented to be satisfied with As per
cent of the first gold payment. Then
comes the bulk Of the debt to be paid
by long time German securities.
England and France have virtually
consented TO accept these provided
they can be unloaded on the United
States in payment for the debt they
owe us, some ten billion dollars. If
they succeeded then the war in so far
as Germany is concerned will be over
for when Germans obligations are
held in the three countries, the United
States and England and France, the
war enmity against her will be amel-
iorated and all three will be anxious
to see her recover her economic
freedom.
But if America refuses to enter into
the plan-that's another story.

SLIM CHANCE WE'LL SAY

Former President William Howard
Taft must have taken to the use OF a
queer connection since John Barley
corn was driven out. Taft deposes
and says that the republican party
has chance to carry Virginia, North
Carolina and Tennessee in the NO

VICE AND CRIME

The Baptists, in their Southern Con-
vention at Richmond, blamed the
picture shows and the lax enforce
ment Of the laws for the vice and
crime increasing in America today.
Both are true.
The picture show, abandoned to the
cupidity and greed of INSCRIPTIONS
capital, without regard to the moral
welfare of the nation, is doing more
to beat down the standards of moral
ity and Righteousness than all other
agencies combined.
And it is such a colossal evil, per-
meating every nook and corner of
America. Billions are invested in it,
and millions pay tribute daily. There
IS not hamlet where its degrading
and demoralizing influence doesn't
extend. There is not temperament,
from infancy to age, which is not UNI
consciously influenced by it. And the
results are showing now. The
Sociologist who counts its influence
m the future generations of our cit
kenship is bound to tremble for the
consequences.
The regulation of the picture show
presents national problem of such
tremendous import that it should be
solved before ii is too late. If another
generation comes into citizenship
under its baleful influence, it may be
too late. Congress, the only author
ity vested with power enough to reg.
ulate it, ought to undertake its solu
ton now. Some central authority
Should grip the evil at its source anC
license only such pictures as ar,
wholesome and clean. A commission
Should pass upon every pictur,
turned loose to prey upon the inn
pulses and passions of the nation

ALL ABOARD FOR EUROPE

Five thousand passengers sailed
out Of the Port of New York on fast
ocean liners, one day last week, bound
for Europe. 1t is estimated that one
hundred and fifty thousand more will
go. They will spend five hundred
million dollars in pleasure seeking be-
fore they return. This amount will
pay the refunded interest on Europe's
debts to us for the present year. In
anticipation of the coming of these
new-rich, Europe is licking its paws.
It is to be a gold-feast in celebration
of the end of the war and the return
of Americas survivors.
In fact, European capitals are al
ready over-run with men squandering
war profits with a prodigality never
before equaled. One poor absinthe-
soaked simp the other day in Paris
threw away five thousand dollars to
the street urchins Of that city and
imagined he was having good time.
The chances are that if the folks back
home had asked him for three-dollar
contribution to the Salvation Army
Drive he would have darkened up like
smoke screen. Another liquor-lit,
thinble- brain tipped Wagnerian
waiter one hundred bucks for
bringing him crab meat and cocktails,
mostly cocktails. Back home, no
doubt he said, "This giving is getting
my goat"
A little frizzled Flosse Pound and
Half came wigglng down the
streets of Parie the other day, lead
ing a pen-wiper pug attached to an
elongated gold chain, and said: ooh,
deah, Paris is so dull" The chances
are that if she had been asked to can
vass the twelfth ward back home for
the Red Cross she would have said
at that hour she had not had her
morning "bawth."
And so it goes-America handing
back TO Europe about all she got out
of the war--money.
This republican congress up here
at Washington is skedaddling and
skirmishing around trying to locate
sources Of untaxed wealth with which
to pay the soldier bonus, and a lot OF
other things that they are throwing
morey away for. Here's a source
Nail every one of these departing
patriots with good fat fee ar
emigration tax. Make it a hundred
dollars per, straight. Then wher
they get over there, double the tax
TO get back. The government coulC
pick up $6O,000,000 with which tC
pension some poor "Hog Islander
and the way congress is spending the
peoples money it looks like they vii
need it,
Seriously, why should all these ben
eficaries of Doodle be allowed to de-
part from their native shores t
squander their money without tn,
government extracting some of it foi
the privilege? If man has money
enough to throw away in Europe, hi
ought to be made to throw some of il
at the government that gave him tht
opportunity to make or steal it. Thai
is nothing but justice.

Just All The
Delight Soda
Can Possess

Most people imagine when
they drink Sodas that the
sole purpose is satisfying
thirst. This is right, but
paradoxically it is wrong;
thirst is an inducement
only but the real appeal is
to satisfy the taste for
sweets. You want richness,
tastiness, sweetness - you
want a drink, but you want
it appealing. Our soda pos
sesses all the delight i'm
aginable in cold drinks.
Richness, purity, and with
every ability to satisfy.
Clean products, Clearly
served and further appeals
here. Make an early ac-
quaintance with our foun-
tain and know a new de-
light and new joy of bet
ter drinks better served.

The Church Needs You

The church stands in the com munity as servant of all, with out reference to conditions in life. But it needs no demon stration to show that an empty church cannot render service in any adequate way. it is a we'll known fact that we get benefit from the church in exact proportion to the service we give the church. There are some lines that run something like this:
 For life is a mirror of king and
 slave,
 It's just what you are and do. Then give to the world the best
 you have
 And the best will come back
 to you.
 They apply to the church just as we'll as to any place else in life.
 And in a still broader sense the church needs you for it can serve the community and the world adequately only as you give 1t your moral, material and personal support.
 The church needs workers. If you think your services are not needed and will not be wei comed you are mistaken. Of fer your services to your pastor or the leaders in your church and see how gladly they will be accepted. The church needs you. Contributed

FOR ICE
 HARVEST IS POOR

The zero weather of last week froze about five inches of good ice on local reservoirs, but the temperatures of the pres ent week have done little to. add thickness to the ice. Eight inches at the least is needed B the ice is to keep at asE weH- Another cold storm such as that experienced last week might yet give a good yield of. ice, but present indications point to warm weather instead
 Another difficulty confront ing those desiring ice, is the low water in the various dams unless ice can be cut twice from the same surface, there will not be ice enough for all, even tho the desired thickness be eventually frozen.

A Week of Fair Weather

Except for a little cIOudlneS last Saturday with very slight precipitation, Williams has had a week of uninterrupted fair weather. The local weath CT bprophets are prognosticating and from the wide variances in their predictions it can be seen that one or more of them are almost certain to guess right. A few are looking for a dry January. Many more, howev- CT forecast plentiful moisture during the latter part of Jan uary and February. One profit is confident that the back of winter is broken and that we will see no more weather this year that will chase the mercu- ry below zero. Instead, ac- cording to this prophet, Janu- ary is to be mild and during the latter part of February and the early part of March we will ex- per1ence unusually cold weath- CT for that part of the year.
 There is a assaying that no one but a fool or newcomer will attempt to predict the weather. in Arizona. Ask one of the old timers about the weather and he will pro ably reply with this old saying. Then after a few minutes he will loosen up and tell you all about the weather that is to come.

NO. 21 GOES OFF RAILS

Due to the breaking of an ax- le in the engine, passenger train No. 21 went off the rails near Chalender early Wednes- day morning. The train was stopped very quickly-in ten car lengths one witness estimat- ed and this alone accounts for the fact that none of the cars turned over. None of the passengers received any serious injury. The track for a short distance was badly torn up.
 Traffic was delayed for a few hours as result of the accident but the wrecking crew made short job of putting the track back in order.
