FORMER PRESIDENT HELPFUL
TO THIS ADMINISTRATION IN
FOREIGN RELATIONS PROBLEMS
Republicans Know and Admit American Economic
Prosperity Depends On Stability
Europe

ernment Is giving most concern. and
which, incidentally. is giving most con-
Germ to our government. There is no
Inconsistency in this. and it is probabl
entirely according to schedule. Hard
ing undoubtedly regarded it as his first
business to get it clearly into the un
derstandng of Europe that the verdict
Of our people on the League of Nations
had been such that his administrati ton
must stay out of it. and that Europe
. must adjust herself to this condition
before HardinE's administration could
make any progress with Europe toward
a different sort of understanding.
Anyone who wishes short cut to
understanding of the administrators s
position can get it In way, by re
mem mbe ring the distinction between n
what is political and what is economic,
Politically we will have nothing to do
with Europe. economically, all our con-
Germ is with Europe. Politically. We
will take no hand in the stabilization
of Europe or in the maintaining of
any OF the political entities of Europe.
economically, all our concern Is in the
direction that Europe shall be stabil-
lied as quickly as possible and that the
various nations Of Europe shall arrive
as soon as possible at a state where
the world feels secure about their per-
manence
Tho Republican leaders know we'll,
and frankly admit that our economic
prosperity is dependent on the stability
of Europe They know that practically
every European country wants to buy
goods and credits in America They
know IT is TO Americas interest to sell
goods and credits to Europe. In fact.
they know that We can't begin a new
cycle Of rising prosperity until We be-
gin to ship goods to Europe. They
know this would come sooner II the
United States would Join the League
Of Nations. or would In any other way
help to guarantee the stability of
the new and old political entities of
Europe. They know that II We insist
on policy Of isolation. tho date of
stability for Europe and consequent
prosperity for us may be much longer
postponed than II We were willing TO
take hand in cuarant seing the sta
b,lt,y of Europe. But however great
the economic motive may be toward
going In. the political motive for stay
ing out Is the greater.

AUTO COLLISION

In a collision Tuesday afternoon
at the corner of Broadway and Main
between an auto driven by ]. M.
Harvey and a motor truck driven by
j. r. Dejarnette, both cars were
slightly damaged. Mr.. Dejarnette
was driving down Broadway and
started to turn into Main street just
as Harvey passed the corner. The
Dejarnette truck was turned half
way around and the tenders bent,
and the axle of the Harvey machine
was bent. The drivers both escaped
injury.
Joseph Frakes, the well-known
stockman was slightly injured We'd
nesday night in an auto accident
which occurred on the Georgetown
road, near Paris. Mr.. Frakes was
driving a bunch of cattle belonging
to Calvin Jones, when an auto ap-
preaching unexpectedly, struck him,
knocking him down, and inflicting
slight bruises. The driver OF the
auto continued on his way unheed-
ing the PROSTATE man, and made no
offer of assistance. Mr.. Frakes, who
was only slightly injured, was able
to come to Paris. The identity OF
the driver was not discovered, and
the machine was going so fast that
the license number could not be read
on the tag.

FORMER PARTISAN IMPROVING

August C. Goodsight formerly
Quietly a former resident of Paris,
who accidentally shot himself at his
home in Los Angeles, Cali. some
weeks ago, has so much improved
that he will be moved from the Los
Angeles Hospital, to his home in that
city this week. Mrs. William A. Nc
Dowell, who has been with her sister,
Mrs. Goodsight, during Mr.. Good
sights illness, left yesterday for her
home in Lexington.
Some time ago THE NEWS TOOK
the Lexington Leader to task for
alleged mispelling of the name of this
popular former Partisan, but 1t
seems The Leader is right. During
the world war Mr.. Goodsight, who is
as loyal an American as ever lived,
petitioned the Legislature to have his
name changed from Gutzeit to Good
sight, which is now the proper spell
ing. We tender our profoundest
apologies to The Leader, and give
this Information for the benefit OF
Paris people, who had been wonder
ing if "Gus Goodsight" could posi-
bly, be our own popular "Gus Gut
zeit."

The whirligig of time-and poll
tlcs-brings about many remarkable
and startling changes. This saying Is
peculiarly applicable just now in the
light OF events and the shadow of
others to come.
Several weeks ago, an ordinance
was passed in the City Council TAX
ing from the voters of the city of
Paris the right to say who they pre-
ferred for the Chief of Police, and
vesting the power Of naming that
official in the persons of the City
Council. That it is the intention to
go step further and make the office
of Police Judge and perhaps that of
Mayor, appointive ones, is the mes
sage borne on the wings of rumor,
with a suggestion of plausability in
the way. It was rumored yesterday
that the City Attorney had been in
structed to prepare an ordinance in
cooperating this feature, and to have
1t presented for consideration at the
the next meeting of the City Coun-
Gil. The possibility of such action
has deferred the announcement, or
at least deferred the hopes Of one
aspirant for the Office of Police
Judge, who after hearing the rumors,
renconsidered and decided to remain
outside.
