THE SITUATION AND OUR
PROBLEMS

The United States produces more than
half the copper used by the world, nearly
half the iron and sixty per cent of the
cotton. We have coal, zinc, lead and
multitude of other things which are listed
as raw materials.
Europe would like to buy our copper at
twelve or fourteen cents pound and sell
it back to US in electrical appliances at
from two to twenty collars pound.
Europe would like to buy our raw cotton
at twelve cents pound (about the pres
ent price, and sell it back to us in gloves,
hosiery aud cloth. Europe would like to
buy our iron at low price and sell 1t
back to US in cutlery, guns, and other
manufactured forms, even down to tlsh
hooks Europe would Ike to buy all our
raw materials, pay for them with part
of the goods made from them and sell US
the rest for the gold we are digging from
our mines England would especially
like this because most of the transporta-
ton, both going and coming would be IN
En- plish ships, oil burners, using another
of our raw materials.
Ours is the richest nation on earth
in fact our wealth is considerably more
tina one third that of the entire world.
We have gained much of our wealth by
selling raw materials, but the greater
part of it has been attained by manu-
featuring developed and carried on by
people who have genius tor organiza-
ton. invention and skilled workmanship,
Not Withstapding all our natural advan-
Gages business in this country has peeh
.sbrink in volume for several months.
The first reason given for this is that the
cost of labor is much too high. In many
lines of industry we believe this is true.
In many others employees have accepted
a reasonable reduction. Ii wages were
i'm mediately reduced to the level OF ten
wears ago immediate business disaster
would follow and even the most ardent
advocate of near free trade would be able
to comprehend that if American labor Is
forced to compete even handed with
foreign labor wages will be lower than
the have been since the days of James
Buchanan,
1t is inevitable that wages will fall to
level lower than at present, but reduc-
tons cannot be safely made without due
consideration of, at least, the actual
needs and rights of the millions who
work and whose earnings pass quickly
into the channels of business In other
words, all the penalties which are to fol-
low our orgy, of waste and extravaganza
should not be paid by labor. Monopolies
must be put under control. Capital must
cease to profiteer at the expense of labor
and of the public. Both private and pub
lie graft must be made impossible. Econ
omy i'll the expenditure OF public money
should be more than a soothing phrase to
cover extravaganza. Our system of tax
alton should be revised and in piece of
the Welter of these aud other faults eX-
listing in our business and governmental
allah there should tie evolved system
of reform which would restore the pros
per.ty of former days.

divided into 81 sections Profteers and
those who had army contracts can afford
to hire a lawyer 10 accompany them when
they go motoring, but there are few of
the readers of The journal who can do
that. We advise them to procure a copy
of this law and begin to study it at once.
Most of its provisions will take effect
soon after the fourth of July. All the
time an otherwise busy man can spare

NAVAL DISARMAMENT.

This country has 80 battleships and
battle cruisers built and building. Great
Britain has IS ships of the same charac-
ter. When we have completed the pro-
gram authorized in 1916 we shall have a
decided advantage over the British in
tonnage, on an average about sc 0 tons
per ship. In our main batteries we shall
have $40 guns to 3l4 for them. Our guns
will average little larger in caliber than
theirs and if all these guns were to be dis

In the secondary batteries our guns will

number 494 to Britain's 500, but our guns
will be larger and more effective. We
are to have 1922 distroyers, Britain will
have $50. Each will have about $50 sub
marines. Assuming that the personnel
of officers and men are equal in skill and
courage we would have a considerable
net fighting superiority.
AS long as we are leading any other ma :
ton in naval strength it is plain that we
ought to take the lead in the way of naval
disarmament at least to the extent of in
viting other nations to join us in consul
tation for the purpose of making agree
ments which would reduce the number
of war vessels and the immense naval
budget. The first step has been taken in
this direction Representative Rogers of
Massachusetts, has introduced a resolu-
ton urging President Harding to invite
Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan to
disarmament conference to be held in
Washington. We have no doubt that
the resolution will pass both houses of
Congress and the President will doubtless
invite the powers to send representatives
to the conference.
Of course no nationwill consent to a COM
plete naval disarmament, and we think
there are some fundamentals on which
the United States should insist in any plan
FOR II Ifot s al &c
the American navy should at least be the
equal of any other. The United States is,
today, the foremost world power. This
and the necessity of protecting our Paci
tic coast, the Panama Canal, our island
possessions and our Atlantic coast must
be taken into account To defend these
from even the navy of third class pow
er would require strong navy. No ma
ton in the world has a coast line on
wealth as in this country of ours. Sec
ond, the American navy should always
be superior to that of any Asiatic power.
The outcome of discussions regarding ma
val arm aments will depend almost entire
ly upon positions taken by those nations
most powerful on the seas, the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. If an
agreement between these can be reached
large sums Of the peoples money can be
saved. The logical and proper course to
bring about reduction,o of course, will be
to stop building new ships and retiring
the older types of vessels from service.

CROP INSPECTION TRIPS
PLANNED FOR JULY 22, 20

The agricultural committee for
Weakley county is planning, series
of crop inspection trips over the
county. Two have been arranged
for July % and 20. On these trips
an entire day will be spent in visit
ing some of the most attractive
farms in the county and seeing the
country in general. Every one in
terested in taking the trips is invit-
ed to be in the party. In the be-
ginning some judges will be appoint
ed to decide who has the most at
tractive farm on the route and the
most attractive farm at which stops
are made. 1t will be impossible to
make stops at every attractive farm,
but due consideration will be given
to every farm that attracts the COM
mittee's eyes. These announcements
are given in advance of time that
those desiring to clean fence rows,
lawns and other places you may have
planned to do, can do so before
that date. The trip on the 22nd
will be over the Palmersv.lle road

Mr.. Oscar Wash and sons, in the
New Salem community, have allotted
part of the land intended for to-
bacco this season for red clover to
be seeded the last days of August
Mr.. Wash's success last year, and
Of previous years, with seeding at
that date warrants his continuing
the practice. On his farm can be
seen a. good demonstration Of how
it pays to thoroughly fix the pota-
to land before setting. Adjoining
his potato land was piece of land
intended for tobacco which had
been worked three times, where the
potato and only had one working
previous to setting. Both were set
the same time. On the well worked
land full stand Of potatoes was
obtained, against two-thirds Of a
stand on the other land, and the
condition of growth was 20 per
cent better on the well worked land.
Mr.. Wash has six acres of new straw
berries and plans to set two acres
of black berries.

Prominent Citizens
Resent Criticism

To the Editor Dresden Enterprise.
We noticed last week in your pa
per and also in the Martin Mail some
criticism Of our sheriff, growing out
of the Milan case. We think this
criticism wholly unjust, for undoubt-
edly the cOol-headed judgment dis
played by Sheriff Bullock averted
lynching, and anyone who has ever
witnessed anything of this kind must
know that such must be avoided.
We know that no man ever made
a better sheriff than our present one.
Every citizen that loves the law
and wants see crime suppressed is
bound to admit our sheriff has spared
no pains in bringing the guilty to
justice. And in the Milan case we
must remember that no murder had
been committed, and if a mob should
have had its way, what would it
mean to the ones taking part with
Mrs. Milan today getting well? We
are not attempting to uphold any
one when in the wrong, but we do
want to commend our splendid young
sheriff for doing his duty and for
the judgment he used in this case,
as everyone knows that if he had
brought Milan up into the presence
cf the excited crowd he would have
been taken from the officers and
lynched.
Now, we feel that the writer of
the article in question felt at the time
that he would like to have seen
speedy punishment dealt out to Mi
lam, as the writer of the article is
closely related to Mrs. Milan, and
we know did not look at it from a
cool point of view. So we will close
by saying that if we can rely on all
the officials as can on our present
sheriff the crime wave will be over
before court breaks. This article is
unsolicited, but is written in vindi-
cation Of one of our best officials
from the burning thrust Of a mad
dened mind and discourteous pen.
We are for Bullock.
