In Berlin the foreign pauper can go to a theatre every day and pay out much less than a single theatre visit would cost him in New York The best seats in the best Berlin theatres cost from 24 to 30 cents. box for five persons costs s1.7O. The best seats in the best picture shows cost around cents; in inferior shows they cost 2 cents, sometimes less.
 The morning and evening editions Of the Berliner Tageblatt, Vossiche Zei- tung and other Berlin newspapers are delivered at your house for cents a month; and the colored comic papers ike Lustige Blatter and Jugend cost IF cents a copy, which is relatively dear!
 You can get 20 leather bound, gilt edged volumes of Goethe, Schiller or Heine for about s1SO I bought new thousand page book of calculation ta-
 bles for TIE cents.
 Postage on a letter for within Berlin costs 18th of cent; a letter to any
 where else in Germany costs 310th
 of cent; telegram from one end of Germany to another costs 18th of cent per word. To mail ten pound
 parcel from Berlin to Copenhagen costs Si5 cents for 2-5th of cent you can go by street car from one end of Der lin to another; and you can drive in motor taxi all around Berlin at cost of 20 cents an hour.

ONE BIG UNION WILL INCLUDE
 ALL CITIZENS

NEW YORK, May 20 (by Associated Press) An investigation of the "One big union of citizens" idea and it's feasibility in protecting American communities from possible fuel or food famines during strikes, is now under way by ten members of the New York State Chamber of Commerce recently appointed by the president of the or ganization as "committee on public welfare"
 Revolutionary labor upheavals and strikes designated as "OutlaW" walk outs by union officials and the employ ment of volunteer Americans in keep ing the channels of communication and transportation open, are the objects, it is said, of the chambers present in has been listing and classifying volun, teers who, with no antagOnism toward unions or partisan interest in labor quarrels, obligate themselves to Oper- ate motor trucks or do any other work necessary to keep the nations com mercial arteries open in times of stress. To prevent the "tieing up and thrOttling of whole communities" the committee has received hundreds of responses to blank questionnaires specifying the ability and equipment of the various volunteers. Their oc- cupation, home addresses and tele- phone numbers together with other similar data are in possession of the committee which, in time of crisis, may be utilized.
 The chamber at recent meeting authorizing the appointment of the committee by President Alfred F. Marling, passed resolutions in which it said that fertilization is now men, aced by false and distorted and pOIit- ical ideas and the public welfare de- mands that the men and women of the nation, who hold to high ideals of personal and political conduct, who believe in sound economic principles and in constitutional government, shall undertake more resOluteIy to tul- fill their civic duties.' The res0Iu- tions further declared that the struc- ture of government and society as a whole" was imperilled by the interrup- tion of the normal channels of com- munication and the public service due to "an irresponsible minority of the population of the United States" It further stated that the duties of the committee on public welfare should be to draw up "a plan of organization and cooperation whereby the public may, by volunteer service, aid in main taining the uninterrupted use of pub lie utilities and assist the duly con- stituted authorities in preserving law and order"

TAKES 4 RAP At RUSSELL.

IhNLU n I'M III IlUuUllL.
Several weeks since a member
of the Mississippi State Senate,
who resides in one of the Gulf
coast counties, was indicted for
! >embezzling about five thousand
dollars of school funds; he was
placed ondtriah plead guilty, and
was senteneed to brief term OF
imprisonnent and also to pay Q
fine, The culprit made good the
amount he had stolen, and also
resigned his seat in the state sem
ate. The news was published Ut
the time of the trial and the pass
ing Of sentence, that pardon
had been issued by Governor
. Russell, for the criminal, even
before the sentence was proDoun-
ced. The governor was some
what sharply criticised for this
anticipatory pardon and it was
char ed that he had thus blocked
the enforcement of law. The
Coast Beacon, conservative pa
per, however, did not criticise
the governor for his exceedingly
prompt pardon, but the Beacon
did criticise him for issuing the
pardon at all, on the ground that
the pardon was unmerited in
every particular, and thatittend-
ed to bring law enforcement into
disrepute.
This pardon did not attract
much attention in Vicksburg be
cause the beneficiary lives in q
distant part of the state, aud also
because our people were not ia
miliar with the crime and its at
tendant circumstances.
But the release OF the negro
convict. Goldsby, on the 2lst OF
May, by Governor Russell, has
evoked almost universal attention
here, and also wide criticism. 1t
was not known in Vicksburg un-
til last Saturday, -Juue 10th. that
Goldsby had been temporarily re-
leased by the Governor. APP
parently there was some secrecy
connected with the transaction
Goldsby was charged with re-
ceiving large quantities OF stolen
goods, and the evidence against
him was conclusive. He was
said to be well-fixed financially
and employed an able counsel to
defend him, But Goldsby, thru
his COUNSEL, plead gnilty to the
charge, and was sentenced by
Circuit Judge Brien to serve a
term of FIVE years in the state
prison. After staying a few
months at the state prison farm
Goldsdy was temporarily released
by the Governor, and hied him
self to Chicago.
And when this news reached
Vicksburg last Friday morning,
there was great Indignation
among our citizens. The Post
Immediately sent the following
telegram to Gov. Russell, but no
answer has yet been received
from him:
"Gov. Lee M. Russell, jackson
Miss:
"Can you wire us briefly sta.
tus Of Goldsby pardon case; Why

tremendous interest here.

The same day The Post received
the following Telegram from it's
Jackson correspondent:

vestigation at the prison Office

The foregoing charge made by

appalling. 1t would seem to be

his assistants, aud the jury. How
ever, these faithful officials are

Undoubtedly Judge Brien and
the other officials connected with
the trial of the case. performed
their duties in very efficient and
lawful manner, and now if Colds

all their labor and efforts have
gone for naught in SO far as en-.
forcement of the law is concerned
An able writer says; sunless the
law binds all and is upheld against
all there can be no such thing as
liberty. It is q safe proposition
that the law should be upheld by
all in the Goldsby case, the Ev,
ans case, theWatts case and all
other cases.

manentrelease and is . matter
for the thoughtful consideration
OF al good and law.abiding citi

! Evidently there has besn q
"miscarriage of Justice" some
where in this case. In the ab-
sence of further explanation BY
the governor, it seems that he
has been interfering with the
enforcement of the law.

1t is all very difficult. The easy way is to stand

THE SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.

Governor Cox has accepted the democratic nom
ination for president. Thus our last anxiety as to
whether not we will have a political campaign
this fall is
1t was really great speech and will raise the
estimate OF the people regarding the craftsmanship
of Governor Cox.
The candidate stands squarely by President Will
sons League of Nations Senator Hardings pro
fessed anxiety that Governor Cox do this and sc
draw the league issue closely, has been gratifcd
The governor argues his we'll
The democrats will have the advantage of fight
ing for ideal and appealing TO the nation to sec
our allies through the aftsr-war problems. Theh
appeal win be to the higher instincts. The repub
licans will have the advantage of an appeal to Am
ericanism and to national safety and prosperity.
1t is rather an odd coincidence that the conditions
of 1916 exactly reversed Then the democrats
appealed to the look after America first and ma
tiona- prosperity" instincts while Hughes and Roose
welt appealed to the higher sentiments of honor sac
rfice and service.
1t is prediction that this exchange of posi-
tons will cause considerable readjustment of party
algnments by the more independent voters With
what result, time alone tell.
Senator Harding starts with the advantage OF
the offensive The democrats will be put to it to
defend the Objectionable phases of the Wilson ad-
ministraton. More particularly his personal con-
centraton of power will be difficult to defend.
Upon other issues Governor Cox is clear-headed
and patriotic His speech has the dynamics of an
emotional quality which senator Harding failed to
attain.
We predict that Senator Harding will be on the
defensive over his government by party" declara-
ton before long in view of the governors and
more historic position of personal responsibility un-
der his oath. If he avoid the master mind
position of President Wilson and successfully
press the senatorial cabal" stigma upon Senator
Harding, that issue will become important.
Governor Cox has undoubtedly improved his posi-
ton by his speech of acceptance.
