other two members, and these warrants
are the only records of the transac-
tions they represent.
The county treasurer, of course, pays
all warrants that are made out in regu-
lar form and properly signed. That is
his business and there is nothing else
for him TO do. But he has the war
rants for his vouchers and is able to
make proper showing. The commits
sioner however, in such cases, has
nothing, and if called upon to make a
showing would be unable to do so.
1t will be good business on the part
of the legislative delegation to amend
the law so as to require every claim
for service or. material for q township
to be approved by the township COM
missioners and duly audited by the
county commissioners just as is the
case with claims against the county.
Possibly the delegation can find some
better, safer and more systematic
method than the one we have suggest
ed; but whether It can or not sooner OF
later the present method is going tc
result in confusion and embarrassment
because it is not sound in either theory
or practice.

The liquor element of congress Is
still working at the idea of trying tc
tie light wines and beer to the bonus
bill, figuring that by this means they
can more easily induce the government
to violate the prohibition amendment
TO the constitution. AS IL matter OF
fact, If congress could be induced to
violate the constitution in the matter,
there are only about four OF five states
in which liquor could be sold because
of the state prohibition laws. To be
sure the boys are entitled TO adjusted
compensation; The government owes
1t TO itself TO give them adjusted COM
pensation, and the boys are going to
have it too. But the government Of
this country is not going to stoop to
any such low, contemplate way of
getting the money. We can't afford TO
pay the adjusted compensation in that
way, however easily we can pay it by
legitimate means.

. Legislative plans for the present
session of congress are for the enact
ment of bills to encourage the mer-
chant marine, to provide some sort OF
bonus payment to former service men.
enact permanent tariff schedules and
provide the regular appropriations
which sustain the government, Repre-
sentative Mondell (Republican), house
leader, said Monday on leaving the
White House after on hours confer
cncc with President Harding. There
are no definite proposals on the mer-
chant marine or soldier bonus which
can be said to have the approval of
the ajority ut this time, Mr.. Mon
dell said, but the outline of subjects
to be taken up includes both matters.
Every cndeaVor will be made in the
house, he added, TO have all the appro-
priation bills which originate there en-
acted by April so rs TO give the SEN
ate time 10 consider them ON final
passage and adjourn the congress in
June. The Question OF finding tho
source for funds with which to pay
the soldiers bonus, the honse leader
asserted, was the chief stumbling
block of proposals for such bill.
Enactment of such n measure, he add
ed, probably would require simultan-
eous creation OF special tax TO meet
the outlay Mr.. Mondell said he did
not discuss with President Harding
the Remuneration plan" for subSidiz-
ing merchant ships operation and he
expressed the view that considerable
discussion would be required before
congressional leaders could adopt a
plan on such measure.

Release of oebs.-Despatches from

Release of Debs.-Despatches from
Atlanta represent the departure of Eu-
gene V. Debs from the Federal peni-
tentiary as the most unusual event in
the history of the Atlanta prison. AS
is generally known, during the three
years he has been in prison Debs has
consistently shown the utmost sympa :
thy with and. consideration for his fell
low prisoners, Regardless Of race, col
OF, or the crimeS, for which they have
been deprived Of their liberty. He held
that bankers wRre in prison mainly be-
cause they wese broke, and that other
offenders were as often sinned against
as SHINING. Thefe was one, sam Moore
a negro, in the prison who was serving
a life sentence for killing a fellow
prisoner. This, negro. who had been
in Jail for thirty years was as incorri-
gible as a wild beast, until he had met
Debs, who treated him as man and
won his love. as Debs left the prison
1900 convictsu pressed their races
against the bars of all the windows IN
all the stories that permitted view
and set up q shout Of joyous congratu-
lation and good win that could be
heard more than half mile. Debs
burst into tears. and said that he mas
made a pact with God to clean up the
prison system: that there are better
men inside of the prisons than there
are out; that the ms are there mainly
because they are poor. On being ask
ed by the warden just before he left
the prison, If there is anything espe-
cially that he would like, Debs made
request to see Sam Moore. and when
sam was brought, Debs hugged and
kissed him saying that he proposed 10
do what he could TO sec that the negro
got one more chance. Under the prlS-
on rules Debs was entitled to railroad
and Pullman fare home and So in cash.
He gave the IS to the Sacco-VenZetti
defense fund and the Pnllman fare he
gave to Russian famine relief. He went
TO Washington in Il day coach. saw the
president and Attorney General Daugh-
erty; but did not talk to the pubic
n bout what was said. DcbS is very
much disappointed that his re!rnse
from prison is only on parole and that
il does not restore citizenship.

What Congressman Stevenson to

What Congressman Stevenson told
them about the negro vote last week is
quite true Republicans seem to think
that it is all right for the negro to have
office over white men in the south; but
in the north the negro vote is purely
and simply for the use or abuse of
white men. Although the negroes may
be able to put up and elect negroes to
office, it is white men who fill the of
fce. The northern Republicans are
willing to allo wthe negroes to vote
but they are not willing to count those
votes for negroes. ..t

Americas billion dollar paper max
ing industry is asking for protection
against the competition of Germany
and Scandinavian countries. and we
suppose the protection will be granted;
but il will be a most Internal outrage
against the American people. The
Yorkville Enquirer believes in reason
able and just protection; but not IN
protection for thieves like the Inter
national paper company. Some two
years ago, by means Of propaganda and
otherwise, there was created nation
wide concern for the future of the
American paper supply. 1t was rep
resented that available American TIM
ber had been all but exhausted. In
some way the Canadian government
was induced to virtually prohibit the
shipment Of paper pulp from Canada TO
the United States There was no such
thing as getting German paper, or
even Scandinavian paper. The news
dispatches were telling Of the suspen- :
sion of numerous newspapers because
of inability to procure supplies Oh
news stock. The supply of The York
Vile Enquirer was running low and
from old presumably reliable dealers
from whom we had been getting sup
plies for years, there came teiegrams
Offering paper at 16 cents, II cents and
even 20 cents pound. This was
paper for which the pre- war price was
less than cents. IT began to look
like q question as to whether the
newspaper business was at an end. the
Yorkville Enquirer had to have paper
or stop publication: but paper at the
price spelled ruin or something so
nearly like ruin, that it was difficult
TO distinguish the difference. we
bought the paper and raised the sub
scription price to help pay the cost OF
it: but not enough to leave even the
narrow margin Of profit previously
realized. The transaction came near
nutting The Yorkville Enquirer into
bankruptcy; but somehow 1t pulled
through. 1t was the sorriest lot or
paper we ever bought from anybody.
We still have some 10000 pounds OF
it that we would be glad to sell ut less
than the present market price FOR good
news. But since that transaction IL
has turned out that all the propaganda
bv which the scare was created had
been manipulated out of the whole
cloth. 1t was only a smooth scheme
to swindle the public through the help
less publishers. Last week, we got III
a new lot of paper at less than one
fourth the cost of the last referred TO.
II is Scandinavian paper, and 1t Is not
only of far better quality but i'll much
better condition. We paid more than
twice the pre- war price and we believe
that is a plenty for American paper.
In view of the consciencelesS manner
in which the American people were
swindled by the International paper
company, we do not believe that the
American paper industry is entitled to
any more protection--not until 1t has
been forced to disgorge large part OF
the money it has recently stolen from
the people. But we fear that 1t VIII
soon Get the protection it is now de-
manding.

County Finances.

We beg leave 10 call the attention ol
the legislative delegation to the reeo
for n more systematic method of hand
ling certain of the funds of the county
especially those now under the contro
of road, bond and township commits
sionerS.
We want il distinctly understood
that we disclaim any intention to re-
feet on the personnel Of any of the
commissions referred TO. So far as VIC
know. and we know most of these com !
missions quite intimately personally
they are as good men as there are III
the county, and that is only the moro
reason why we are calling attention to
this matter.
AS the thing stands now, the various
township road commissions are paying
out township funds on warrants on the
county treasurer without even vouch-
els to show for such warrants. There
are cases where each member OF a
board of commissioners carries a
bunch of warrants duly signed by the
