Evening, March 5th, Presented
by American Legion Post
of Lamar.

The Tennesseean Jubilee Singers,
the greatest organization of negro
melody singers on the stage for years
has been secured by Walter L. Bennett
Post, American Legion, for an enter
tainment at the Victory Theatre on
Saturday evening, March 5th. This
company has visited Lamar in past
years and never failed to leave an
enthusiastic impression behind They
are kept right up-to-date with the
latest talent from tht negro colleges,
and have never failed to be the lead
ing attraction on any circuit they have
travelled. The American Legion Posts
in a number Of leading cities have put
them on the past season and all re-
commend them in terms of the highest
praise. Here is some recommendations
from other sources also:
"The Bucllner Tennesseean Jubilee
Singers WAS the first number on the
Lyceum Course Wednesday night and
brought glee to the hearts Of an aud
itorium full of people, who had gath
erred to hear the dusky sons and daugh-
ters from the Sunny South. The Buck
ner Tennessceans are excellent sing
ers, brim-full Of Spirit and Southern
vivacity-putting much fervor and
spirit into their works Whether in
solos or choruses, duos or quartettes,
they seemed equally at home. The
committee is to be congratulated upon
the splendid selection Of this popular
company for its opening number
Beloit Sentinel.
The Buckner Tennesseean Jubilee
Singers gave an entertainment in the
First Congregational Church last even
ing before an audience that taxed the
seating capacity OF the church audi
torium. and everyone who heard them
were extremely well pleased. Each
member of the troupe is an artist in
his or her particular line and every
number on the long program received
an encore and many of them from
three to four. The program was vari-
ed. including songs of Slavery days.

future.-The Rochester News.

At the taxpayers meeting on Feb
ruary 10, few made the proposal
tnat we either do with less police force,
or let the merchants pay for one,
which sounds to a careful thinker TO
be about the most foolish thing the
town could do.
so far Lamar has been lucky, but
We can't tell what day the crime wave
Will sweep upon US. 5. IL. Dunn
deputy sheriff OF otero county, said
last week that La Junta had enough
work for dozen police. That police
and sheriff and deputies were being
Overworked, and La Junta is less than
6O miles away.
The truth Is the extra expense and
raise in taxes, is not due to the sal
aries Of the night police, as all think
ing people know, and there is no use
to try 10 divert the mind from the
real cause, but such propositions as
proposing to do with less protection.
Another man suggested that the
business men pay for sprinkling Main
street, which was another attempt TO
divert the minds from the real cause
OF high taxes.
Just q moments reflection will put
YOU wise. When was Main street
sprinkled last? And how much time
did one man spend on the job? And
lust think how few are the times you
have noticed during the past year that
Main street got bath at the hands
Of the city sprinkler. And you can
easily see that the increase of taxes
is not due to bathing Main street un-
less they paid too much for each job.
And why ask the business men to
sprinkle the main Travelled street of
the city. when all the town use said
street? Even the man who proposed
it, and who is also a member of the
council, runs his auto up and down
Main street about as often as the men
that drive jitney busses. Such un-
wise suggestions to divert the peoples
minds from the real cause of high
taxes is rotten bunk of the worst kind,
and not even good for fertalizing. The
truth is the city government has been
run too slack. Perhaps partially due
to the fact not many of the members
of the council give enough time to the
job. to obtain the best results. In
which case they should frankly admit
the real cause.

IN his native state in 1881, he opened
a small office and practiced in Atlanta
for two years and then in 1883 praC-

a great creditor nation. She has lent
certain governments of Europe more
than $9,000,000,000 and as a result of
the enormous excess of our exports
there is an additional commercial in
debtedness of foreign nations to our
own of perhaps not less than $4,000
100000. There are only three ways in
which Europe can meet her part Of her
Indebtedness, namely, by the estab-
Hshment Of private credits, by the
shipment of gold, or of commodities.
1t is difficult for Europe to discover
the requisite securities as a basis for
the necessary credits. Europe is not
in a position at the present time to
send up the amount of gold which
would be needed and we could not
view further large imports of gold
into this country without concern. The
result, to say the least, would be
larger disarrangement of international
exchange and disturbance of interna-
tional trade. If we wish to have Eu-
rope settle her debts, governmental or
commercial, we must be prepared to
buy from her. and if we wish to assist
Europe and ourselves by the export of
food, of raw matrials or finished prod
ucts, we must be prepared to welcome
commodities which we need and which
Europe will be prepared, with no little
pain, to send US.
Clearly, this is no time for the
erection here of high trade barriers.
II would strike blow at the large
and successful efforts which have been
made by many of our great indus
tries to place themselves on an export
basis. 1t would stand in the way OF
normal readjustment of business con
ditions throughout the world; which
is as vital to the welfare Of this c0un-
try as to that of all the other ma
tions. The United States has a duty
to itself as well as to the world. and
it can discharge this duty by widen
ing, not by contracting, its world mar
kets."
