profiteering in North Dakota. In

tina the merchants Of North Dakota
are not making more than five per

that not much fault is to be found

BRYAN INVITED
TOSPEAK HERE
Commoner Urged to Come to
Pensacola in Interest of Pro-
hibitiOn Enforcement.
CAMPAIGN OPENS FRIDAY
One Week to Be Spent During
February Speaking ExcIu-
sively in Florida.

Invitations have been extended to
! William Jennings Bryan to include
/ Pensacola in his itinerary for his series
/ of addresses in the interest of the pro-
hibition enforcement campaign which
/ he will begin Jan. Is. ThougfTno def
I mite answer has been given from the
headquarters of the campaign, it is ex-
pected that Mr.. Bryan will make Pen
sacola one of the cities in which lee
lures will be given.
Mr.. Bryan is honorary chairman of
the campaign of the prohibition law
enforcement league and has consented
to deliver a series of addresses in sew
eral cities in the south in the interest
of the campaign. The campaign of
one week for funds for the enforce
ment begins Jan. 10, the day the
amendment goes into effect. His speak,
ing tour will begin that date and will
continue through Jan. 25. He will de-
vote one entire week during February
to making speeches in Ftorida exclu-
sively. besides the 10 days in January.
Mr.. Bryan has winter home in this
state.
Mr. Bryan's attitude toward prohibi-
ton from political standpoint is very
clearly expressed in the following ex-
icerpt from his address at the Jackson
Day dinner in Washington:
Il assume that the party will accept
prohibition as the permanent policy of
the country. Three-fourths of the
democrats in the senate and two
thirds of the democrats in the house
voted to submit the national amend
ment and every democratic state
voted for ratification, and every re
publican state except three. 1t is in
conceivable, therefore, that our party
should antagonize the moral sense Of
the nation Jonn Barleycorn is dead
The democratic party cannot tie itself
to a corpse or become the champion OF
an outlawed traffic.
Mr. Bryan's addresses in behalf or
prohibition enforcement will be free
and open to the public. He will speak
on the effect the sale of liquor in other
countries will have on the United
states and is expected to make some
startling statements in connection with
the illegal importation and sale OF
LIQUOR from the countries 10 the south
of the United States, including Cuba
Mexico and the British West Indies.
The prominent position Mr.. Bryan
now holds in national politics will lend
increased weight to his expressions re-
garding prohibition and law enforce
ment and assures him of large and in
terested audiences wherever he ap-
pears.

HARD TO REVERT TO
OLD STANDARDS
(By HARRY b. HUNT.)

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE man
whose income has. temporarily in
creased and who has adjusted his
habits and tastes TO a lavish scale of
expenditure, finds 1t mighty hard to
restrict himself to anything like his
old outlay when the time comes to be
gin sane living again.
The same holds true with the gov
ernment. Uncle Sam got the spending
habit during the war. His income was
limited only by his demands. Every
wish. every whim. every proposition
that promised even remotely to help in
winning the war, was backed by thou
sands and millions OF dollars. He was
playing every chance. If the money
wasn't forthcoming by direct revenues,
he raised it by loans
But now that the war is over, and
the people are beginning to count their
dimes and dollars more carefully. con-
gress faces the necessity of forcing
down government expenses TO some
where near the old normal or to give
way to a congress that viii.
But how is it going to do it? That
is the puzzling question that keeps
members of the appropriation commit
tees awake O. nights. The govern
mental establishment of today is not
that Of before the war. Not only have
the varied departDsent< expanded their
activities and Increased their person
mel but new boards, commissions,
councils and bureaus have been Gre
ated which cannot be Topped off sum
marily. Although for the most part
created to serve war function, they
have so intertwined their existence
with the other governmental organiza-
tions that they now appear, at least.
to fill a desirable field in our peace
organization.
The job of cutting expenditures is
also complicated by greatly increased
fixed charges accumulated during our
period of war spending. Interest must
be paid on the cash borrowed, and a
sinking fund created ultimately to pay
off our debts.
Provision must be made more ade-
quately to meet our obligations TO the
wounded and manned of the war, and
to meet every real work OF rehabilita-
tion and reconstruction.
Also certain great enterprises, like
that of the shipping board, which was
building ships and shipyards in a race
against the U-boat, cannot economical
~ be cut off short. They must. for
the time, at least, be carried on to the
completion of the projects undertaken
if there is to be the minimum of loss.
All these things must be weighed by
the public when it compares the pro-
posed appropriations for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1921, which are to
be passed on by the present session Of
amounting to s4,473, ,696,35S.

pay for government employees, with the

RADICALS PLAN
RULE in MEXICO
American Army Draft Evaders
Blamed for Much of Dis
orders Over Border.

San Antonio. Texas, Jan. 11.-Infor-
nation regarded by government agents
as evidence that Carranza government
officials are countenancing a plan ia
establish boIshevik rule in Mexico and
that the radical program is supported
largely by American army draft evad-
ers, will be given to the senate sub
committee investigating Mexican af-
fairs at hearing here this week.
Senator Fail, chairman of the com
mittee. is expected to arrive here to-
morrow. More than two hundred sum
mons have been issued for witnesses.
Not all testimony offered will be un-
favorable to the present Mexican ad-
ministration. Supporters of the Car
rama government placed before the
committee names of many who, they
assert, viii be able to counter at least
some of the statements of special in
vestiga tors, refugees and ordinary OBJ
servers.
Investigation of radicalism in Mex
leo have shown it will be widespread,
according to government agents. An
appeal of the communist party in Mex
leo, recently published, says, accord
ing to government agents, that for
eign interests are trying TO start war
between the United States and Mex
leo. so they can seize Mexican riches,
and punish inhabitants for not par
ticipating in the world war;
Another publication appeals TO neg
roes of the United States to revolt
against the American government and
states American negroes are most
miserable and oppressed element of
the American proletariat."

Germany is not forging guns or

Every German I met voiced to me
his hatred of France. Every misfor-

been laid at the door of the French.
Premier Clemenceau is hated in Ger
many as no other man ever was. The
mere mention OF his name brings forth
direct threats OF what is to happen to
France.
How They Look at II.
The evil propagandist is doing his
