Sir Edward Carson, the ring-leader
Ulsterite, who was in open rebellion
against the British government in l9-
Ia, is continuing to take an active
part these days against any sort OF
Irish freedom and last week indig-
nantly declined to come to the United
States to appear before the American
Commission at Washington investi-
eating the Irish question. Carson
concluded his curt refusal by saying
II am certain that true Americans re-
sent such unwarranted interference in
the affairs of friendly state" Had
the Irish leaders in their recent trou-
bles made the same declaration of re-
bellion against the 6ritish govern
ment that Carson made in 1914, they
with their women and children would
have been huddled on ball ground or
some other place and butchered with
machine guns. No "true American"
should want the "Yaller dorgp over
here for any purpose.

1t has been given out from Wash
ington that Ex-Governor Benton Nc
Millin, now minister to Guatemala,
may enter the race for the United
States Senate against Kenneth D. Nc
Kellar in1922. In fact it is said that
Gov. McMillin's friends in Washing
ton have received word that he al
ready plans to enter the primary race
against Senator Mcclellan. AS minis
tiers and ambassadors usually tender
their designations under an adverse
administration, Gov. McMillin will
probably return permanently to the
United States next Spring. The same
batch of news from Washington also
stated that former Governor Patter-
son will also be candidate-and his
candidacy with Mcclellan and McMil-
lin in the field will be dangerous, for
the junior partner in the former po-
litical firm Of Cooper & Patterson
never did sink low enough, low as he
got, to lose all of his followers.

The Associated Press carried sto-
ry from New York last Saturday that
Allen A. Ryan, the capitalist, was re-
ported on financial shoals"-or rath-
err that was the headline made by the
Nashville Banner, and in the body Of
the article the statement was made
that Mr.. Ryan's liabilities were re-
ported to approximate sixteen billion
dollars, while his assets were twenty
to twenty-five millions-some bust,
that. However on the next day Mr..
Ryan laughed at the report of his be-
ing in financial difficulty and said "If
I'm broke, all the banks are broke"
We can say for Mr.. Ryan that he is a
dandy financier if he can get into
debt sixteen billions, with fortune
of but one hundren and fortieth part
of that amount.

At a meeting held recently in the
office of State Superintendent Will
liams, the salaries Of teachers was
discussed and some Of the members
of the committee of 100 appointed at
the recent state meeting favored the
Legislature fixing the minimum salary
to be paid. All this is well enough,
but it should be understood that the
teacher who can not stand the exami-
nation and come up to the demanded
standard shall not be entitled to the
good salary. The money Of the people
should not be paid to evident and self
confessed failures in any line Of pub
lie service,

The Nashville Tennessean, in very
interesting editorial last Sunday
stated that a certain Tennessee farm
err, whom it was answering, and the
farmers of the great Western states
have either ignored or failed to take
into consideration the fact that the
United States annually produces a
surplus of foodstuffs and that unless
the markets of Europe are opened to
hs, we are in for a long period of low
pricese. The Tennessean goes on and
says: "The League of Nations pro-

Taking into consideration almost
every wheat growing country in the
world-the United States, Argentine,
Australia, and Misunderstanding
the surplus each can spare out of the
1920 crop, and estimating that Eu-
rope will take six hundred million
bushels, as it did last year, there will
still be surplus of sixty million
bushels-and that does not count the
East Indian crop Of over ten million
tons nor take into consideration the
probability that a part of old Russia
may export some wheat of the 1920
crop. Hence, unless wheat should be
kept up in price, at the point of the
bayonet, as it were, something in the
wheat line had to "drap"-and as
nearly ninety per cent. Of the people
are flour buyers instead of wheat
sellers, that "drap" was very well
come happening.

Keith Collins, said to be the last Of
the several men wanted for the rob-
berry of a mail train near Council
Bluff, Iowa, nearly three weeks ago,
was arrested last Sunday morning in
Westville, Oklahoma. This robbery,
which was done by a bunch of young
men, was perhaps the largest ever
known in the United States, the
booty, in money and bonds, approx
mating three and a half million dol
lars. One of the fellows arrested
said he burned eight hundred thous-
and dollars worth of bonds in a
kitchen stove. Such robberies by
young men are attributed to a great
extent to the moving picture shows
which have melted the minds Of the
young and reckless to such deeds Of
daring.

The break in prices has come-and
you will do better to accept the de-
cline than to fight it. Farmers can
not hold up the prices Of their staple
products-and business men ought to
be willing to help bear the losses-so
that we will not read of &c sugar in

another.

, We read in the city papers funeral
notices, accompanied by the request,
mo flowers, please" How sensible
that is--how much more valuable to
do something for the needy living.
Many flowers, with no heart back of
them, are given at funerals and even
the most grateful when living can
know nothing of flowers bestowed
when dead. A kindly word, little
helpful act to the living is worth
more than whole flower garden to
the dead. This is plain talk-but if
it is not the truth, then we had as
well burn the Bibles and forbid under
dain of death, any quotation from it's
sacred pages.
