BORROWING AGAIN.

The treasury department has again asked
the banks for another hundred million dol
lars with which to meet government ex-
penses. These treasury notes are not IN
anticipation of taxes. They are not substi-
tutes for anything else due the government.
These notes are nothing more or less than
calls on one creditor to pay another be-
cause income is less than expenditures.
The big problem at Washington is to
make income meet expenditures. Our gov
eminent is still on a war basis SO far as
expenses are concerned. 1t is still carry
ing contracts that should have been bought
off, and establishments in which men and
women are running over one another to
keep up the appearance of being busy. There
are 100000 clerks on payrolls today, KEPT
there for political purposes, for whom the
government has no more use than a cat has
for so many tails.
All this makes the treasury department
hustle for money, and as there is too little
coming in, to borrow the deficit It's notes
pay coed interest so that the banks are ready
to accommodate, but this borrowing cannot
go on forever The treasury department
would become no better than a check kiter
and government credit would suffer accord
ingly

SOME CHURCH CONDITIONS.

The survey of the religious conditions of
this country, which is a part of the inter-
church campaign, brought out some interest
ing facts. For instance, one village con-
tanning 88 people has five churches. Some
rounding country but that is a community
of large farms and few families One coun-
ty with a population of 5000 people has
1876 churches. 1t is in mountainous re-
gion, the report being silent on the geo.
graphical location, where isolation develops
creeds as it develops individuality. In one
state ten counties with a total population
of $4,000 do not have a single church.
Some anomalies in church and moral rec
titude are reported One county in one of
the larger states, the name of which is not
included in the survey report, outranks all
other counties in that state in the number
of churches. 1t also outranks all other
counties in that state in the percentage of
illiteracy, illegitimacy and tuberculosis But
not one of the churches of the county has
resident pastor, a fact that seems not to
have attracted any attention until the sur
vey was made.
The pictures from the great cities are no
brighter than some of those from the coun-
try. Within a radius of half mile of Times
square, New York. 100000 reside, and of
this number 100000 go to the theatre and
movies during the week, and by actual count
on a Sunday evening during the survey only
1917 people attended the less than score
of churches in this section of the city.
Pastors salaries in most of the states
average below $1,000.

No Formula For Love.
From the Vinton Eagle.

A Chicago preacher is telling the youth
of his flock how they may know if they hap
pen to fall in love. Anybody who falls in
love will know it, all right, without any dia-
grams or signboards from either priest or
pagan. Reminds us of the seasick man: His
wife asked the doctor what she should do
for him, and the man of medicine replied,
Don't do anything; he'll do it." There is
no formula for love. 1t is as perennial as
the flowers in the springtime, and like the
Bind it bloweth where it listeth. It's symp-
toms are so natural and yet so uniform as
to absolutely preclude the possibility of a
wrong diagnosis. In variety, however, love
is cosmic. 1t ranges from the puppy sort of
our extreme youth to the staid affection
mingled with reverence which we obtain in
our old age. In either, or any case, it is the
best and finest and noblest of human emo
tions

Political Railroading Expensive.

Lyons Progress: The $636,0O0,OOO lost
by the people in political operation of the
railroads, and the billion-dollar annual in
crease in freight and passenger rates is not
the biggest part of the bill to be footed Tor
this experiment in state socialism. The
decentralization in the railroad service, the
overlooking of the railway payrolls with SUI
perfluous employees, the increased costs in
operation all along the line and the depre-
citation of all equipment makes the problem
of reconstruction under private ownership
staggering and almost impossible task.
The railroads have been reduced to the point
where what they need now most is a
Iwrecking crew.

Georgia Sanctums.
Paying the Fiddler.

Jackson Progress 1t is rather in style
these days to obtain money from the state
and government for almost every conceiv-
able purpose. Many people proceed on the
idea that there is an inexhaustible mint in
the public treasury. AS matter of fact
there is not a cent in the treasury of the
county state or government except what
the people themselves pay in the form OF
taxes. So when you speak of tapping the
treasury you are simply digging at the tax
payers. Simple, old-fashioned economy
will do the country more good than any
other one thing now. Law making bodies
should be careful how they appropriate and
spend the public money wrung from the
people.

Cut Out the "Colonels."
From the Moultrie Observer.

A movement is interesting the entire
Georgia bar to stop the promiscuous use of
titles in this state They want to ''cut out
the colonels'
They suggest that such titles as colonel
Captain" and "judge" be applied to only
such persons as have actually earned them
on the battlefield or in military service, or
on the bench.
For many years past it has been Gus
tom in Georgia as in other southern states
to call every lawyer Colonel after he has
reached middle age and reasonable amount
of distinction-except in the event he wears
whiskers, when he is called "judge" instead.
Many of the gentlemen on whom these titles
have been thrust by usage are far from de-
string them, and are really embarrassed by
their use. - The class of people who want
such titles without meriting them is so small
as to be negligible. The type has passed
who used to sing or think,
81 want to be colonel
And with the colonePs stand;
A cockade on my hat,
And cocktail in my hand"
Most of the spurious colonies of today
have not usurped their titles They have
had them simply thrust upon them by a
usage which they deplore. In fact, the lead
ers in the movement to do away with the
general use of the titles are we'll known
attorneys whose friends have been for years
calling them colonel against their wishes.

That's true. 1t is a fact, too, that the
man who is always knocking his town is
the one who has the least property He is
the man who does the least work, both for
himself and the community. He is the man
who throws cold water on every enterprise
that would help build the town. And last
the man who is always knocking his town
would not move away from it under any
consideration. But he would help it by do

BILL UP AT HEARING

Leaders of the women's organiza-.

heads of government bureaus testi-
fed before a joint hearing OF the
House and Senate Committees on
Labor, yesterday, in favor OF the
Campbell-Kenyon bill to establish
woman's bureau in the Depart

would be the protection Of women
in industry.
DR.. Roy L. Meeker, chief Of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, said
that the bureau as organized at
present is inadequate to cope with
the problems of over 14,ooo,eo
women.
He said a bureau such as pro-
posed in the bill would in no way
overlap the work OF other depart

industry from hong hours and from
work that makes them old At 30
years"
Mrs. George Bass, chairman OF the
women's bureau of the National
Democratic Committee. said:
"Our plan is to make permanent
a bureau that has already been
formed to protect women war work
ers. 1t is not partisan and is i'm
tended to protect both Democratic
and Republican women. The num-
Der of women in industry is now so
large that a special bureau is need
ed to handle their interests"
Jessie r. Haver, of the National
Consumers League, said:
Women Buyers Want Facts.
The great army Of women buy
ers want an opportunity to- know
what industries are guilty of Of
fenses against womanhood so they
may refuse their patronage"
The bill was introduced in the
House by Representative Campbell,
of Kansas, and in the Senate by
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa. 10 pro-
vides that the duty of the bureau
shall be to formulate standards and
policies which shall promote the
welfare of the wage-earning wom-
