TWO GAMES
Paige Detroit and Republics in Dou-
Bile Bill Sunday.

The Republic Trucks will meet the
undefeated Paige Detroit team on
Republic field Sunday in a twin bill,
the. first game being scheduled to
start promptly at 200 p. m. The
second battle will start Immediately
following the close Of the first game.
The Paige Detroit team won the
industrial championship of Detroit

honor this season. The fact that the
aggregation has not been defeated
this year and that it won this honor
last year marks the nine as one of
the strongest in Michigan, and it is
expected that the fans will see two
red hot battles on the Alma field.

political, economic and financial stu

Richard Calwer. who. as editor of
Die konjunktur, has won nation
wide reputation as one Of the sharp
est witted political economists in
Germany:
| ."The present government is made
up Of dilletantes who are blundering
along in the most cheerful way pos
inevitable consequences and really
do not seem to care what happens:
Why worry" is what they say. III
the worst comes to the worst we can
resign very easily and turn the whole
business over to our successors. and
they can see how to get out out of
this mess. In the meantime we will
| Just trust to luck Really SO much
faith have they in their lucky stars
that they feel no compunction what
ever when they give orders tnat the
printing presses shall turn out more
Last month 5000. 100000 or 4.ooo,-
0O0.O 900 new marks were issued
without security at all I have rea-
son to believe that instead of stop
the government is speeding up the is
suance of paper money. What the
director of : the Netherlands state
bank said is only too true: Unless the
government stops printing money
Germany will be exposed to starva-
ton. But the government does not
heed the voice of reason and keeps
| on giving the people paper money in
stead of bread. The men at the head
are doing their best; I do not deny
that But in the first place they have
no business in the government of
great country. Matthias Erzberger was
| a school teacher before he entered
politics. What does he Know about
economics and finance? Robert
iSchmidt. minister of food economics,
Twas something or other before he
got his post, but his knowledge of
the economic situation of.Germany is
very limited.
what can you expect from men
like that? Erzberger is shrewd and
all that, but when it comes to evolv-
ing schemes to save Germany from
bankruptcy he hits upon the widest
plans which on their surface are al
ready failures. The final collapse will
bring a new government. perhaps
radical, perhaps conservative The
one is sure to be followed sooner
or later by the other. Our only
that is capable of coping intelligent
ly with the almost superhuman prob
lens with which we are confronted.
Otherwise the German republic will
go bankrupt and that means that the
mark will be worth from 10 to "a

knows what sort of a government will
arise from the ashes of a bankrupt

HE TELEPHONE COMPANY WILL
ASK INCREASE OF RATES.

The reading public is aware of the
fact that the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company will ask the
Mississippi Railroad Commission fol
the authority to increase it's rates at
the meeting to be held in Jackson
next Thursday.
Looking to the creation of senti.
ment to back a rate increase, the
Telephone Company has been running
a series OF ads in the newspapers of
the State setting forth the reason
why the proposed increase should be
granted. The advertising of course
has been appreciated by the press
and possibly has made some converts
among the newspapers to the idea OF
a needed increase. One of the mos
persuasive arguments for the in
crease is that a large per cent of it
will go to the employees. In answer
to this it might be asked: Where did
the revenue for the other two in
creases given since we entered the
war go?
Speaking for ourselves, we do not
know whether the company is en-
titled to ar increase in rates or not.
If it is entitled to an increase, it
should be allowed to make it. But
we are frank to say that the out
