QUIT SENDING FLOWERS AND
CLEAN UP

When Kelley and the Shaws, whom
the Memphis papers named DANDY
Bandits" were on trial here some
months ago, the Commercial Appeal
had something to say about "mawk-
ish soldering" that was in "evi-
dence" about our courthouse. Now
comes Inspector w. T. Griffin, of the
Memphis police department, in his
report to the Chamber of Commerce
Law Enforcement Conference, say
ing: 1--WE spend days, and even
weeks, in running down criminals,
and when we finally land them in
Jail, the first thing the public does is
to send them flowers"
Now, "mawkish SOLDERING" over
criminals is bad if it occurs in Tip
ton county and it is bad if it occurs
in Shelby county, but Inspector Crit
fin gives that and the fact that good
men shirk jury duty in Shelby coun-
ty as the reason why crime is not
suppressed to a greater extent in
Memphis.
Just at this time we do not know
of anything that needs to engage the
attention of the good citizens of
Memphis more than the suppression
of crime and the punishment of
criminals. Memphis is our city. In
many ways it is our buying and sell
ing market Our people like to 90
there, yet its daily crime record, as
given by its newspapers, is such as
to deter even the bravest from being
in the city, especially after nightfall.
In the past, our people have en-
joyed driving down to Memphis dur
ing the day, shopping in the after
noon, getting dinner at a good cafe,
going to the theatre and then home
by way of the pig stand, stopping, of
course, for a sandwich. Now it
seems that this is not safe program
unless one is escorted by a military
company.
We congratulate President Walker,
of the Chamber of Commerce, in his
efforts to enlist the business men of
the city in the solution of this prob
lem. We wish the federal agents
well in their efforts and we hope that
the police department and the sher-
ifs office will decide to cooperate
and use any means, even the most
drastic, to make Memphis safe
place in which to live and visit.
We deplore the fact that Memphis
has so many "mawkish slobberers"
and "flower senders" to criminals
among its citizens. For the sake Of
the city, its young people and its
neighbors, we say clean up-at
whatever cost, clean up

WALL STREET JOURNAL
ON COAL PRICES THIS FALL

For several weeks Mr.. Two McFad
den has been waging a campaign il
which he is seeking to get the Gus
toners of Mr.. H. B. Shelton to place
their orders for their winter supply
of coal now. Mr.. McFadden has beer
investigating the coal situation anC
has been giving the public the results
of his Investigations in advertise
ments in the Leader and in circular
letters.
The following letter was written
by Mr.. McFadden to the Wall Street
Journal, one of the foremost finan-
cial journals Of New York City
We have been reading in your pub
LEGATION concerning the coal situation
and its probable future for the winter
1921-1922, and we, as coal dealers,
write to know if you have facts or
evidence that has led you to an
opinion as to probable prices for the
next few months.
Curl reason for this request is that
we would like our customers to
stock their winter coal during the
summer months while coal seems to
be rock bottom and while good SER
vice can be had from the railroads,
but nearly everyone of them is ex-
recting coal to decline on account Of
rumored reduction in freight rates to
come soon, and for that reason we
are unable to impress upon them the
Importance Of stocking their coal
now.
The Journals reply to Mr., Nc
Fadden's letter is as follows:
There is no evidence that blum
nous coal will be cheaper this fall,
at least in the markets for Pennsyl-
vania coal, and consumers have no
good reason for not buying now to
full storage capacity. Purchase of
reserves has been urged by respon-
sible men familiar with the situation
in the coal industry, but public re-
Spouse is practically nil.
Coal users principal argument for
delay in buying, that freights will be
lowered, is disposed of by statements
of government railroad officials that
in view of the large revenue from
coal tonnage and the poor financial
condition of the railroads. no re-
duction in coal rates can wisely be
made for a considerable period.
Cost of labor, which, with freight
charges, constitutes the biggest part
of retail coal cost, can not be reduced
owing to the wage agreement extend
inc until the first of next April.
1t is quite probable that the fall
months will witness a very strono
market for soft coal. particularly if
industries begin to do more. Pro-
duction in the year to date is "a
per cent. below 1920. ami stocks Of
coal throughout the countrv. which
were higher than reserves of a yeor
400. are substantially decreasing. IF.
there should he an inadequate number
of cars this fall, another coal short
ago is REGARDED as within possibility.
The chairman Of the Interstate
Commence Commission rpcentIv caus-
ed letter to be sent Frht and power
rlants and street RAILWAYS calling at
tenfion to this possibility an1 uroing
nlli1p m reserves now. This anrpql
was backed nv Secretary Hoover. who
said he had investigated ard found
resent mine prices fair and reason
able.

HUGE METEOR FALLS

A meteor weighing 600 pounds,
fell in Hatchett's orchard on Mis-
sionary Ridge early Wednesday
morning of last week, says a dis
patch from Chattanooga.
The meteor made swishing noise
in its passage through the air and
struck the ground with a loud crash
that was heard for a distance of
several blocks. The missile tore down
section of the orchard fence and
partly buried itself in the ground.

PREPARE FOR AC

PREPARE tOk ACOLD ONE
An extremely cold winter is pre-
dicted--more severe than any we
have had for many years past, they
say.
If such be the case would be wise
for our home people to make prepara-
ton for it in advance. not only that
our families may live in comfort, but
that live stock and poultry may not
suffer.
1t would be we'll to go over the
barns and poultry houses and close
up all cracks and holes where the
air could drift through, with the ex-
ception of the ventilation space, and
that should be covered with canvas.
A poultry house lined with tar paper
would be vastly warmer and the egg
yield would be much more satisfac-
tory.
With depressed business conditions
prevailing generally it would be the
height of folly to allow an extreme
winter to render them worse when a
little forethought and energy will
provide against such possibility
Do it before the cold weathr comes,

THEY DO SPEED

If by chance you imagine that our
Amrcan women are lacking in speed
your imagination is clearly at fault
Speed is one of their long suits. In
fact, they are becoming so speedy
the men are gasping in amazement
and CONSERVATION over the possi-
bilities of the next fifty years.
Only a few years ago we alughed
at the "absurd idea" of any woman
ever being allowed to vote or hold
public office on par with men. But
they are doing it now, and it doesn't
seem to have sent either the country
or the people to the bow-wows.
Now the women are preparing to
have congress amend the constitu-
tion in such manner that they will
be given equal rights and privilege
and be placed on a par with man in
every respect and in all things. II
other words. if they are successful
in their present undertaking the mat
ter of sex will disappear ntirely 50
far as il relates to rights, privileges
and responsibilities.
That would mean the eligibility
of women to boone mayors, COVER
nors, congressman. senators. judges
and even president Of the United
States.

WE DON'T KNOW

The chief of police of Chicago says
one-half of the policemen in that
city are booze runners or bootleggers
or engaged in some manner in the
Illicit handling of booze.
Conditions may be loose in other
cities-we don't know, but we dc
know that conditions are not the best
in Hayti and Pemiscot county.
They may be as bad in the less
populated parts of the country-bu,
still we don't know.
Even the man we meet on the
street may have flask in his pocket
and again, we don't know.
But we don know that in the en-
forcement of prohibition Uncle Sam
is up against the hardest job of his
whole career
1t has been the boast of the proud
old gentleman that he has never yet
met defeat
He may make good. that boast In
the present case, but
