take four or five hundred dollars at
least to send boy to good prepar-
atory school away from home. No
man in the county pays taxes for
school purposes to this amount. But
two men paying this amount, and
they will pay it if the boys are
sent away from home, may almost
as well employ a teacher of high
school subjects in their community.
An eight mill tax will secure the nee
essary preparation for every pupil
in the district insteas of the one or
two sent away, and the cost to the
individuals will be much less than
the costs of preparation away from
home.
We are on that account in favor
of an eight mill levy in every district
in the county. We are in favor of the
employment of two teachers in every
school where there are pupils being
taught in subjects above the seventh
grade subjects as now taught. With
this arrangement we will begin to
make progress. Without it we Will be
far behind other<counC1es and not

here there is no sign of a continual

True, there are hopeful signs.
Forsaking our metiphor and deal ling
with plain fact. we may say that
silk will certainly be cheaper. Japan
has had lesson. Silk went to SIS

reductions are real enough for the
present. Probably the Wanamaker
and Losier examples will be follow
ed by other stores. There are
rumors of IS 1-2fcent sugar.
The public will certainly welcome
these signs. 1t should, nevertheless,
accept them with reservations.
Frank H. Sisson of the Guaranty
Trust Company states presumably
for the benefit of the business man
that "this is a time for caution"
The consumer may apply these
words to himself. "There is still',
says Mr.. Sisson, "a world shortage
of necessaries." The probability is,
therefore, that any reduction in
prices will be gradual. The consum-
er should recognize that a situa-
tion which so protects the merchant
is one which can send the cost of
living curve upward at any sub
stantia encouragement. Business
men say prices are dropping be-
cause the public refuses to buy. If
the public rushes out with shopping
bags at the first sign of a weaken
ing market, prices may have it in
them to rise again. No one wants
to let even the profiteer down too
hard. The nation might suffer in
the satisfaction of his ruin. Judici-
Gus buying, however, is sensible
and possible. This while furnishing
sufficient demand to sustain busi-
ness, may prevent sudden come
back of mounting costs which has
been observed too often to be in
credible.
We are high and cold up among
these rocks and wind-warped
trees, and maybe we have passed

thing.

If there is a political certainty
this year it is that no fight will be
made on President Wilson's clear
cut issue of the treaty unamended
and unlimited. Despite the impress
sive popular support rallied by Sena-
tor johnson, the spokesman of the
irreconcilables; the Republican con-
yention is certain to adopt some
thing like the Lodge programme,
with condemnatory clauses of just
sufficient acerbity to hold the Hira-
mites within the party, coupled with
a iudicious wish that there shall be
no more wars and that the lion and
the lamb shall after taking the pro-
per mutual precautions, lie down
together.
The Republican spellbinders will
be for peace and league. Even
more, they will point out Mr.. Wilson
and his supporters, as Mr.. Taft does
this morning, as the real enemies OF
the league. "Mr. Wilson" says Mr..
Taft, "is the greatest obstructionist
in Washington. He desires to destroy
all if he cannot ge; all. =. All
the other countries IN the league a"c
bound by Articles X. but are never
theless willing to allow the United
States to enter under the reserva-
tions proposed. Mr.. Wilson, however,
refuses" These words will be seized
upon. We may expect a plank in the
Republican platform condemning in
no uncertain terms Mr.. Wilson's ,op-
position to the treaty-that is, to
the only form in which the treaty
can possibly pass.
But if the Republican opposition
is thus diabolically qualified, so will
be the Democratic SUPPORT. Mr.. viii,
son cannot count upon his party to
back him up in his uncompromising
insistence on the letter of the Treaty
of Versailles. Millions of Americans
recognize him, or will come to recog-
nize him, as the leading proponent
of an idea of incalcuable value to CIV
ilization but there are few people IN
America who will maintain, as he
still seems to do, that the Treaty of
Versailles is the apogee of human
wisdom and goodness. In that posi-
ton he stands alone. The constitu-
tion of the League of Nations is not
sacred nor binding upon our honor.
What is binding is the Obligation to
ioin with other nations in so limiting
national greed and national ambition
that civilization shall not be sub
merged in a new and probably fatal
war. Mr.. Wilson sticks to the letter
rather than to the ideal, and in this
attitude he is alone. Yet if he could
bring himself to yield the letter the
ideal might still win.-New York

MISTRIAL ORDERED
IN GOSNELL CASE

Grccnville, Nay 18.-After a
deliberation of Is hours a general
sessions court jury failed to agree
on a verdict in the case of the
State against Jake Gosnell, deputy
charged with the murder of Sheriff
Hendrix Rector, July 4, 1919, and
Circuit Judge T. J. Mauldin at
1908 today ordered mistrial.
While no member of the jury
has made any positive statement as
to how the jury voted on the sew
eral ballots taken, it is understood
that they stood eight for acquittal
and four for conviction of murder.
When the first ballot was taken
the vote was for acquittal and 3
for conviction, but later one of the
Jurors for conviction switched over
to the acquittal side and no fur
Their change could be brought about.
The question of politics, it is de-
clared did not enter at all into the
deliberations of the jury.
Will Arrange Bond.
Judge Mauldin stated this morn
ing that he would give the defend
ant the opportunity to give bond,
but as yet he has not decided what
amount shall be required. Gosnell
can arrange bail for considerable
sum Ind it is believed he will be
released from Jail as soon as
Judge Mauldin decides on the sum,
probably b. tomorrow.
The case went to the jury at
CHS o'clock yesterday afternoon
and at 10 o'clock last night the
foreman notified Judge Mauldin
that an agreement seemed lmpos-
sible. He sent the IL men back
telling them to try to reach an
agreement, but at II o'clock they
retired without having come to-
gether. Upon the convening Of
court at $3.50 this morning the
foreman again stated that agree
ment was impossible and Judge
Mauldir ordered the mstrial. Fail!
ure to agree has caused little sur
prise to those who have followed the
case.

 FACING REVOLT AMONG FOLLOWERS

Washington, D. C.-It is apparent that the Republican Old Guard is threatened with a new Bull Moose uprising. Senators Borah and John son have maneuvered the Lodge fac ton out of the advantageous posi- tion it held for months. The little band of party wreckers are busy un- dermining the Hays organization. The Borah-Johnson coterie is asking. Who in the devil is Will H. Hays %
 There are stormy days ahead for the Penrose- Hays ring. The Borahs and Johnsons are riding hard and will run over the Old Guard if pos sibIe.
 The apprehension that Messrs, Penrose, Watson and others of the Hays faction felt over the early speaking tours of MT. Johnson seems to have been well grounded. The Republican 'irreconcilables'' have collected the discordant elements of their party and the opponents of the ] treaty and are making a showing. Most of the woes of the Republican i organiza ton at this moment can be i traced to the stacking of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee
 against the peace treaty
