GREAT WASTE OF PAPER

Congress has taken note of the
 shortage of print paper, which Is ex- 'tremely serious and threatening, and we are glad to see that some of the members realize that conservation should begin at home. Senator Shoot for instance, advocates the immediate suspension of the publica- tion of all public documents. con sgressionai and departmental. If this were done the savings of valuable paper would be literally enormous and the loss to the country virtually nothing. The mass of public print ing which comes to an editors desk every week is astounding. Most of it is absolutely useless to everybody. 1t is turned out in these vast quan-
 titles for two reasons, because it Etickles office holders vanity and be- cause the preparation of it makes jobs. Anything of importance which lis done or said in Washington, the newspapers print and this time o1
 stress all public documents should be dispensed with, their publication to be resumed, perhaps, some time later on a reasonable scale. The
 humblest country newspaper does more good in the world than the most
 pretentious public document.-ohio

British Discuss
 Paying Debts to the U. s. in Gold

London, Feb. 12-The question was raised in the house of com mons today whether the government had under consideration the sugges- tion of Carter Glass, recently retired secretary of the treasury of the Unit ed States, be paid her International debts in gold. It was asked also whether, in order to, help meet this request, the British owners of orna- mental gold, such as trinkets and plate would be invited to hand them to the treasury in return for inter -bealing bonds and thereby assist the position of exchange between England and America.
 To these questions, Austen Nham- berlain, chancellor of the Exchequer, replied that he had taken steps to have the proposals indicated careful ly examined.
 k Premier Lloyd George was asked whether he could see way to en- force drastic reduction in the inn portation of luxuries. The premier replied that the, government was not in position to enforce any restric- lions. upon importations of foreign goods. He said that less than two per cent of the imports from Ameri- ca, were articles of. ulxury.

Warns Prosperity. and Progress May
 Become Artificial

Washington, Feb. 12.-Warning that the prosperity and progress in- dicated by banking futures may be- come artificial and deceptive was given today by John Skelton Will Hams in his annual report as comp troller of the currency.
 Remarking that in 1919, there was not national bank failure involving loss to depositors and that the bank ing power of the country has in creased 900 per cent in the last 80 years, MT. Williams added: <
 "A large volume of money cannot mean increase of real wealth while there is decrease of production and the accumulation and movement of securities and currency represent abnormally inflated values put on diminished supplies of essentials y
 All the. gold in the world, aside from 3,135, ,0OO, ,000 dollars held by this country was estimated by the comptroller at 5000, 100000 dollars or only about per cent of the credit balance of this country in the last six years. For that reason, he urged that this country should adopt a policy of reasonable help and en- courafement toward debtor countries with no assets immediately available, but having fair prospects of being able to pay out in given time.
 Praise for the part played by the national banks in financing the world in time of stress, was given unstintedly by the comptroller. He expressed hope that the conservative influence of the banks would lead manufacturers and business men to accept for the present smaller pro fits with . view to building up gen. eral prosperity and the habit of thrift and economy among the mass es of the people.

LINCOLN.

He belongs to the ages, not mere ly to America, nor to . period, but to the wofId.'' l1
 Thus is the terse eulosy bestowed upon Lincoln by John Drinkwater, English dramatist and actor.
 ITO me he has always been one of the finest characters in history" !" says Mir. Drinkwater. "He was the the guiding and compelling figure in the critical epoch of the nations life. He stood for the complex moral idea of national unity and individual liberty; but the marvel and miracle of the man was that he never lost touch with, nor thought of the in dividuals that form the mass"
 Throughout the nation, tribute is being paid to Lincoln. It is beeom- ing a more and more unanimous tribuet each yeAf, as ,Lincoln's true greatness becomes more generally admitted, and with the distance Of years, appears in it's best light.
 In the days when the isues for which Lincoln fought were live is- sues and itt the days following when bitterness had not died out Lincoln and his critics, bitter and many. His tory repeats itself with Lincoln. Most of our great men have been maligned during life; their greatness recognized only after they were gone.
 Of@late Lincoln's fame has grown to be international. The French, with their readiness to recognize worth, long ago placed Lincoln on the pinnacle where he properly belongs; the English have gracefully conceded this worth, and from far out of the east. indapah, cones | message much like Dfinkwater's- -"he belongs to the ages, to the world; not to Amer sica alone.'

Pine Bluff people are becoming impatient with the closing ban es- stablished because of the influcnza iepidemic. Many want it lifted forth with. It is pointed out that because Little Rock has lifted the ban Pine Bluff should do likewise as if con lditions at Little Rock had anything ito do with conditions here.
 The restrictions here should be raised when the local health authori- ties decide that it is thoroughly safe 10 raise them. They should not be raised until then.
