THE GREAT COST
OF AUTOMOBILES.

Careful estimates reveal the fact that
the public is spending over $6.00O,-
100000 a year, or $3.50 per family,
for operating and riding in automo-
biEes, 81 per cent of which are pas
senger cars. With the road-building
and maintenance cost added to the
above. automobiling will likely foot up
as reat as sum total to the American
public as the operation of the rail-
roads.

and the balance BY the state or local

crease by 1000 miles the total Of a.
600 miles Of hard-surfaced roads in
the country. In the past four years
the Government has spent more money
on its roads than it put into building
the Panama Canal.
In these brief four years there has
been greater progress in road building
than in all the previous history Of the
country. 1t all goes to show that joy
riding must be maintained, and the

unable to secure in order that agri-
culture might be successful. are now

THE METHODS OF PRoFITEERINc

Raising the prices of goods on ac-
count of the increased freight rates"
is a process that doesn't hold water
According to the statement of one of
the big railroad magnates, flour shipp-
ed in carload lots from Minneapolis to
Philadelphia on which the forty per
cent increase is paid, will amount to
80 cents barrel Of 200 pounds. On
24-pound sack Of flour, this will be
just little less than four cents. The
increased freight on a pair of shoes
shipped from Boston to Philadelphia
would amount to six mills; on crate
of 30 dozen eggs from Chicago to Phil
adelphia. twenty cents, or three-fourths
of cent per dozen; on a bushel of
potatoes from Exmore, Virginia. to
Philadelphia. S. cents. These repre-
sentative instances indicate that the
dealers who attempt to raise prices on
account Of the increased freight" are
pretty apt to be found doing an mar
tistic piece Of profiteering.

In June. 1914, the loans and dis
counts Of all national banks aggregated
Sc. 430.O69,0O0. Today more than
.$l2.0OO.O0O,OO0 represents the bank
loans. which have grown over $4,000
.000.0 900 in the past year. Thus it ap-
pears that there has been a perfect riot
of money filling peoples pockets, and
a large part Of il has represented Dor
rowings.' Liberty bonds have fur
nished the necessary security for a
great deal of this.
Expansion and Imitation are
thus traced to the banks and their OPP
erations. and since this way of getting
easy money has about run its course,
times will not be SO easy .as they are
now.

THOUGHTS ON LIBERTY

Thomas Paine: TO deprive half
the people in a nation of their rights
as citizens is an easy matter in theory
or on paper; but it is the most dam
gerous experiment. and rarely practi-
cable in the execution. In my APP
prehension, a constitution embraces
two distinct parts or objects. the prin-
ciple. and the practice; and it is not
only an essential but an indispensable
provision that the practice should eman
ate from, and in accord with, the prin-
ciple."
George Washington The price Of
liberty is eternal vigilance. Ii is ever
in danger. at times, as now. from
the growth Of corruption, irrevenence
for right as right. materialism. defying
everything, destroying true manhood,
disgusting true manhood with public
affairs. and leaving the esate to be man
aged and directed by the cunning for
profit, scoffing at duty-in a word,
from moral rottenness.
Thomas Jefferson; About to en-
ter, fellow citizens, on the exercise Of
duties which comprehend everything
dear and valuable TO you. it is proper
you should understand what deem

ment. and consequently those which

Through an age of revolution and re-

THE wisdom Of our sages and blood

GOVERNOR WILL EN-
FORCE TICK Law

AT meeting Of the Louisiana Live
Stock men held in Baton Rouge on
tuesday. Governor Parker said that if
the present cattle-dipping law were not
enforced, that he would call special
session Of the General Assembly, inn
peaching the judges and District Attor-
neys who fail in the enforcement Of the
law.
The Governor was the principal
speaker. He reviewed the great
amount invested in the livestock IN
dustry. much Of which is endangered
by the failure to enforce the tick erad-
ication law.
The Governor said che has written
courteous letters to the judges and dis
trict attorneys Of the parishes in which
the law is not being enforced. From
many he has not even received a reply.
Unless there is a speedy change. the
Governor says he is going to call a
special session of the General Assembly
to either repeal the tick law. and aban-
don the effort to develop Louisiana S
livestock industry. or impeach the
judges and district attorneys that are
not enforcing the law.
John H. Cockersham. president Of

GEORGE w. YOUNT TELLS
OF RAILROAD PROBLEMS

Last Thursday afternoon, George w.
Yount of Trafford, Pa. dropped into
the Colony and in a speech mace to
the colonists in the evening, he told of
the troubles of the railroad men, Civ
ing many inside facts of the struggle
which are very contradictory to the
newspaper reports from the East.
Mr.. Yount is organizing the men in
the railroad industries in Pennsylvania
and is well informed on the inside af-
fairs of the railroad situation.
He tersely told the story of the
strike in which, according to his fig
ures, as they have been reported to
him from railway centres throug ghout
the United States. at this date, about
100000 trainmen are taking parts, de-
termined to hold out until April !, 49,

that he had travelled from the Atlantic

THE COTTON COLLAPSE

There is no dodging the fact that
the Southern cotton producer now
faces a serious calamity; for with an
other short crop, it will take thirty
five cents per pound for the lint and
$45.00 per ton for the seed. to enable
them to meet the actual cost Of produc-
ton, and anything less means actual
disaster.
The immediate cause Of this condi-
ton is the uncertain financial situation
and the ruthless attitude Of the Fed
eral Reserve Board in restricting cred
its on cotton. Their idea, perhaps,
was to restrict credits as far as posi-
bic without creating a panic. with the
view Of reducing the high cost of liv-
ing, and the first stroke was at the
South. as is usually the case. and the
only possible relief is a definite, un-
equiyocal and convincing assurance
that sufficient credit will be extended
to the cotton trade to enable them to
handle the crop. so as to realize the
cost of making it. Otherwise, there is
bound to be dump sale, and general
bankruptcy in this Southland. Our
banks can do nothing as against the
policy Of the Federal Reserve Board,
and the South stands helpless in the
hands of a relentless foe, who seems
determined to relieve all other indus
tries at the expense Of the cotton pro-
ducers. The South seems to cut no
figure with this government, and like
sbepchild, seems helpless to ward off
the threatened calamity
SeIfishness is the best known and
most horrid sin in the world. and poli-
tics may have much to do with the pol
icy of the Federal Reserve Board in
their discriminating against the South S
greatest and only money product; for
our vote in all national contests is al
ready cast. even before the candidates
are named. and the politicians realize
that there is no necessity to consider
the South in any public matter, and
hence the cotton producer is the first
to suffer in the effort to reduce the
high cost of living, by curtaiIing cred
its on cotton. OF course, the same rule
may be applied later on to the pro.
ducts Of other sections, but it can't be
done until after the election. for feal
Of losing votes in the North, where the
vote can not be safely counted until
after it is cast.
In verification Of the above conclu
sions, we quote as follows from tn,

ablest publication in America, as fol

More than SS per cent of the homes in New York City are rented. In the Borough of Manhattan the percentage rises to ST.
 Nor is this condition limited to the Metropolis. 1t is common to most cities. The people of the United Sta<es who live in rented homes are in excess of b4 per cent of the popuia- ton, according to the latest govern ment returns. About 45 per cent own the houses in which they live.
 These statistics have been collected for the survey of city life now being conducted by the Interchu-ch World Movement to provide a practical pro gram for closer cooperation of Protes- tant churches in America. And the survey already reveals one of the grsvest problems now confronting the church.
 Rented homes. the survey shows, mean migrant families. for the day of the long lease is passing, and increases in rent cause increases in moving The migration of families has shifted and changed the congregations of urban churches And too often the family that moves beyond the reach of one church does tot transfer it's member ship to another. even though it attends that other.
 The moving family, say the workers on the survey. leaves the church letter.
