Country VS.. City.
From the Omaha World-Herald.

Sound common sense, spurred by the in
stinct of self preservation, should give I'M
petus to an early and earnest effort to
restore the equilibrium between the city and
the country. Either there must be halt
to the shortening of hours and increasing
of wages and earnings in the cities, or
there must be commensurate shortening OF
hours and increase of wages and profits
in the country. And when farmers begin
to work their hands" in two shifts in
stead of one, and to double their pay on top
of it-then we shall have to look out for
such an increase in the cost of living as will
make our present grievances seem trifing!
The easy remedy for that would be still
higher wages in the cities, whereupon the
farmers would have to raise their rate OF
wages still higher also. And so we would
be at it over and over again, with con-
ditions growing more and more unendur-
able as we ran frantically around in the
vicious circle. The man trying to lift him
self by his bootstraps would be a sage by
comparison.

PEARY'S DEATH.

The death is announced of Admiral
Robert E. Peary, whose laconic message
from Indian Harbor, 'Stars and Stripes nail
ed to the North pole," announced the first
touch of the foot of man upon that part
of the globe, to reach which men have sui
fered hardships and have died in the mhos-
pitabe cl mate which the Almighty has not
prepared for the abode of civilization. Inc
honor of being first to reach the North
mole VIII be accorded this intrepid American
who forsaking the comforts of civilization,
made EIGHT attempts to reach the apex OF
the earth. fighting his way along the roads
strewn with the skeletons of hundreds OF
other daring men who had defied the hmlta-
tione or the frail efforts of man which the
Arctic holds, never relinquishing the one
purpose Of his life to carry the American
flag to the top of the world.
People will wonder in the years to come
WIN -,,ch sacrifices should be made to find
that which was known to exist, and which,
when fo,rd. was known to be the Miltonian
vision of desoIation. Rewards were those
of an undertaking achieved, the knowledge
of havino done that which was undertaken
Pecuriorv rewards were not expected, TOT
the ro'-~4ffc world already knew the region
of desolation held no treasure worth the
STRUGGLE of man to secure.
H vae one of the fearless souls OF the
bet e. centuries who have pushed the
lines of civilization forward on the face OF

A SOUND DEMOCRATIC VIEW.

From the Maultrie Observer.
Is Mr.. Hoover a democrat? The state
democratic executive committee is seeking
information along this line. Mr.. Hoover
has been rendered to the democratic party
in Georgia as a candidate for president,
and before taking him in the party leaders
and officers wish to know what flag he is
sailing under and what has been his flag
in the past. They do not care to furnish
machinery for a candidate to run for the
presidency in Georgia when there are posi-
bilties that he will turn up at the republi-
can convention as candidate. Neither
is it advisable that the republicans should
have two candidates for the presidency;
one nominated at their own convention and
another nominated by the democratic con-
vention.

FLU AND KISSES.

From the Triton Gazette.
That Thomas county health officer is all
wrong when he jumps on the kiss as a
spreader of infiuenza-that is, if the kiss
is of the right kind. That kind of kiss has
enough heat to burn up the flu germ or
any other little old germ that may be hang
ing around, except the matrimonial bug.
Besides, what do doctors want to waste time
giving people that sort of advice for? A
couple ready to kiss has no time to be think
ing about danger of disease germs, and it
is doubtful if they would care if they had
time to think. Besides, isn't The prize
worth the risk?

Our Riot In Documents.
From the Kansas City Times.

How many speeches have been sent you
in the last year under government frank
and how many have you read? The treas
ury department alone sent out 25,000,OOO;
The railroad administration distributed
100000 copies of Secretary McAdoo's
Altoona speech. An address by Rev. W. l:
Weinmann was supplied to the tune of
100000 copies by the same administration.
Day after day the government printing office
is kept busy printing documents most of
which are franked through the postoffice
to persons who never read them: Every
newspaper office can testify to the waste
baskets of documents that busy publicity
agents in Washington devise daily to vex
the soul of the public. Of courses the
amount used by the public printer, about
$11, 100000 for next year, has come to seem
a neglible sum in an era of vast spending
But if the government really desired to
economic, as it is advising the rest of US
to do, why shouldn't it do some pruning on
the riot of useless public documents?

The streets of Dawson have not escaped
criticism, which seems so easy for the aver
age American to indulge in these unsettled
times. Many are asking when the big banks
of red clay which line the streets in every d.
rection, due to excavations for new pipe for
the city's water system, will be thrown
back into the mile or two of big bitches
from which it came. One citizen suggests
that it will probably be about the time the
peace treaty is ratified.

Million Phones in

Says Bell Engineer
Untitled Demand Indicates
Great Increase, He Tells
+. 5. c.; To Spend on Inn
provements $2O,5OO,OOO

r Iestfying before the Public Service
commission, I'd District, at the third
MNeaI'ng on the application of the
New York Telephone Company for in
creased rates, which was held in the
nan m of Records yesterday, G.. w.
hltmore, valuation engineer for the
telephone company, said that there
would be million telephones in the
cry before the end of next year.
Mr Whltmore said his estimate was
based on the untitled demand for serv-
ice this year and the probab bility of
continuation of this demand next year
There are $4,000 telephones now in
use IN the city, he said.
The engineer testified that, according
to present plans the company would ex-
pend SIG, 100000 for additional plant
equipment this year.
Large as this expenditure is" Mr..
Whitmore testified, "the company
panned to make it even greater. We
actually apprep epriated s33 500 900, but
physical limitations, such as getting
materials and labor, have prevented do
ing the larger work contemplated. Be-
cause of the diminished purchasing
power of the dollar, this $4,000, 900
will buy only about the same amount
Of material as $4,000 GOO would have
I"tcndSed IN 1910. Inc result has been
that only about half Of the equipment
has been produced which ordinarily
this investment would buy"
A. d. Welsh, representative Of the
Commercial! department OF the com
pany, testified that from August 25.
1920, to October 27, 1920, the telephone
company spent SOB 96SS3 for special
advertising relative to its appeal for
increased rates. He further testified
that, with the cost for printing pam
phlets and circulars relating to this
matter, the grand total was sl29 .537.24.
