 In his recent visit to England and Scotland, pr. Glenn saw many drunk en people in the different cities, but seldom heard of a murder. He said it was due to the fact that there was no law against drinking and that they refrained from murder because of their regard for law and order. He said there were more murders in Birmingham in one year than in all England. He urged that a respect for law and offices of responsibility

Alter ne nad dWelt at length on what he thought of MT. Burruss' lack of business ability, MT. Broyles launched into what he probably> in- tended as an Illustration of why he thought as he did.
 Makes Accusation
 "A man asked me to sell him q pair of mules," Broyles began. q told him he could have his pick of 25 or 30 first-class ones at $150 each. He declared he could buy them much cheaper by going down to the city hall and telling Professor Burruss that he and all his people were for him. He said in this way the mules would cost him far less than mine would"
 MT. Burruss interrupted at this juncture and declared that this state ment was false. MT. Broyles contin- ued to speak. saying Mir. Burruss had forgotten the rules of decorurn.
 That statement is false," shouted Mir. Burruss, referring to the mule story.
 Don't say that again or you're liable to break up this meeting right now" retorted Broyles.
 Burruss jumped from his seat and advanced across the platform, strik- ing bis hands together.
 Do you mean to charge me with dishonesty" demanded MT. Burruss a6gresslvely. He repeated his ques- ton two or three times, while the crowd began to hiss and hoot. Sew eral men gathered around the con- troversy principals.
 Order Restored
 When order was restored. MT. Broyles declared that he had found his figures in the book and that if anything was wrong the book was wrong. He referred to the comp troller's report, which he picked up and threw dewn on the table. He said he meant no reflection on MT. Burruss' honesty.
 Mrs. Myrtelle She'll candidate for associate commissioner, rising to point of personal privilege, asked that MT. Burruss be given the oppor- tunity to discuss the charges of MT. Broyles. The crowd vigorously ap- plaudeG. Thomas Dozier, chairman of the meeting, declared MT. Bur russ could reply to MT. Broyles.
 WI do not care to discuss matters further with the gentleman?' stated Mir Burruss. amid prolonged ap- plause from the crowd, which had given him only lukewarm reception a short time before. Il will not take up the time
 MT. Burruss stated after the meet ing that the record spoke for itself and that he had received record price for secondhand mules when he sold the ones alluded to. besides sav- ing feed from fall to spring. He stated that he bore no malice toward Mr. Broyles. although he would not enter into debate with him.
 Candidates present at the meeting and persons in the crowd of l50 per sons condemned the actions of MT. Broyles almost to a man. They de- clared such an attack was out of place at a meeting of the nature of this one. All were sorry that the incident occurred.
 Discuss Auditorium
 Delay In beginning construction cf the auditorium and the smallness of the structure planned were criticized by D. E. McLendon. candidate for president of the commission. MT. McLendon declared an auditorium was needed which would seat 10000 to 15,000. rather than one seating 5000. He outlined the auditorium project from the bond issue, when $500, 900 worth of bonds. dated De- cember l. 1919. were sold He. saiu the city has received thus far ss5.OoS

Princely Jobs
In Jeopardy
! ITY the plight of the Maharajah
of Kolhapur!

VI NoluoPul'
All India is being stirred by
the teachings of a wonderful agita-
tor, Mohandas Gandhi. He does not
advise the use of force against the
British invaders, for he knows that
lit is not now feasible to assemble a
force sufficient.
He is preaching, instead, native
boycott. He tells his countrymen to
deal as little as possible with the
European invaders; to keep out Of
the British-controlled courts, to keep
their children out of British-con-
trolled schools and to organize
courts, schools and other institutions
of their own, much as Dali Eireann
has done in Ireland.
Against this doctrine the Mahara-
iah of Kolhapur protests. He pleads
with the British Government in In
dia to "abandon it's passive attitude
and smash the non-co-operative
movement" or, he declares, if non
cooperation succeeds "the whole
system of ruling princes will dis
appear"
For once the princely mind func-
tions correctly. If the autocratic
structure of privilege is once breach
ed there is no telling where the in
novation will stop.
The Maharajah of Kolhapur is
twin brother to parasitical privilege
holders everywhere.
But to "smash" an instructive
aspiration of millions of oppressed
people is more easily advised than
achieved.
Britain has tried it in Ireland and
is wise in not taking on the infinitely
greater task among 300,000,000
awakening inhabitants of India who
are becoming equally determined to
govern themselves.

France Wise to
Send ViUiani

n RANCE is sending her former
Prime Minister, M. Viviani, to
America as a special represen-
tative to secure from America GER
tain considerations and concessions
which the French people desire and
require.
This move on the part of the
French Government is wise. There is
no country in the world so important
to France as the United States of
EAmerica, and there is no country in
which they have had such made
quate diplomatic representation.
M. Jusserand, the Ambassador of
France at Washington, although a
worthy and well-meaning man, is
not equal and has not for years been
equal to the large task that con-
fronts him. He is old, he is old
fashioned, he is Grabbed, he is un-
diplomatic, and he is unpopular; and
these are hardly the qualities re-
.quired in the representative of a
great and friendly nation which has
the friendship and admiration and
desires the cooperation of so popu-
lous and powerful country as the
United States of America.
The advent of NJ. Viviani, there
fore, will be welcomed by friends of
France in this country, and in due
course of time, when M. Jusserand
passes away or is retired, we may
hope for a more up-to-date Ambas-
sador from France.
M. Jusserand is the sole survivor
of the old-fashioned school of di-
plomacy or rather lack Of diplo-
macy, among the ambassadors tc
America. Spring-Rice was such a
one in his time-quite as narrow,
quite as prejudiced, quite as antag-
onistic and antagonized as M. Juss-
Grand.
He was retired by the British Gov
ernment in its wisdom and a most
popular and capable Ambassador in
Sir Auckland Geddes has taken his
place. England recognizes the ad-
vantage of up-to-date diplomatic
representation in this country.
Perhaps in due time France will
do the same. At any rate, the send
ing of Viviani is a hopeful sign.

a BLIND TIGER"

Q. Why is a man who sells whisksy
called a blind tiger?"
a. Because he's blind to everything
good and pure; blind to the commands
OF law and order; blind to the inevit-
able consequences that follow; blind
to the miseries and anguish OF
mothers, wives and starving children:
blind to every feeling except his de-
sire to grasp the almighty dollar.

that "bootleggers" are the cause OF
many of the murders of policemen and

The Bolshevik government sends
out to peasants and city workmen
by wireless a sort of political cate.
chism. Here is sample:
"Whose money is fighting our
government
"Answer: The money of London
and Paris stockholders.
"Who rubbed their hands with
Joy when we we're attacked!
"Answer: Landowners, agents,
priests, bankers, shopkeepers, and
spectators. y"
A new idea in government to
talk direct to peasants and work
men by wireless, and not a bad
idea. Caesar himself took the peo-
pie into his confidence, and did
pretty we'll until power went to
his head, He established the first
newspaper by writing on the walls
of Rome what the Senate had done.
That was the "wireless" of his
day.
There are "three movements for
Irish peace" One of them would
give the Irish the right to control
their own money. That, however,
is not what the Irish want. They
want to control Ireland.
Austria, where the children are
starving (you know about the ap-
peals for money and food), is in
formed that she must send twenty
thousand head of cattle, including
six thousand mich cows, to the
Allies. That seems like "taking
food from a sick child
Some American farmers, SYM
pathizing with the German chill
dren, have sent twelve hundred
cows to Germany. But they do not
give or sell them. They rent them
for mark per year, which would
be a cent and half. By renting
them they establish and retain
American ownership in the cattle
and in calves that may be born.
The idea is to make it impossible
for the energetic Allies to seize
those COWS. They can't seize Ameri-
can property. Rather ingenious.
Henry Ford says the worst of

perity barometer. In, all directions

Every employe on the Pennsyl-
vania system is notified that his
wages will be cut. All other rail
roads are doing or planning the
same thing. They will give you a
hundred good reasons for cutting
the wages of the men. And they

tears if you talk about cutting the
vastly increased rates that they
charge the public.
