If speeches were bullets or If
addresses were treaties of peace
the world might more easily right
Its wrongs, and rest upon far
different foundation, says the
Pittsburgh Leader. But We have
the Judgment of Prince Bismarck
that speeches are not bullets but
harmless things that mean little
ii anything under all save extra
ordinary circumstances. And we
have the history of the conference
at Versailles that addresses and
rhetoric aud idealistic phrases are
not peace treaties or even the APP
proach to peace.
If conditions were otherwise
the addresses made at the com
menccmcnt of the American uni
Versity at Washington by Presi-
dent Harding, Hon. Newton w.
Rowdcll, Kings Counsel, OF Tor
onto. Canada, and Jules Jusser-
and. Preach ambassador. would
be guidcboardS to a happy future.
If that were the case the world
would look forward To an endless
era OF peace that would not be
merely technical and perfunctory
but profoundly fratcrnal and sin
Cere.
The thin edge of the forensic
wedge was inserted and give,
some sharp driving blows by
Hon. Mr.. Rowdell, who set out
the relations of Canada and the
United States as an example of
what might be and what should
be il the pledges of statesmen did
not fail i'll sincerity. But since the
long example OF the United States
and our friendly neighbor to the
north seems TO be insufficient. the
Canadian advanced step fur
ther. He asserted that if the war
makers of the old world arc de-
termined 10 persist in the course
that has SO often demonstrated It's
only consequences 2s disastrous
the sane, clear-headed men OF
North America. the citizens OF the
United States and Canada. should
bond themselves To compel the
peaceful settlement of all intcrna-
tional questions.
Hon Mr.. Rowdell and Prcsi-
dent Harding were emphatic on
the point that what Canada and
the United States have done TO
maintain peace and promote pros
perity, can be done anywhere ii
only the interests concerned are
willing. That they have not dis
played this willingness must be
interpreted as meaning they do
not want peace when their selfish
agereSSions can be served as well.
perhaps Better. through war. This
is the tendency which Mr. Row
dell declared would be brought to
an end if the United States and
Canada joined hands to compel
peaceful settlements OF all inter-
national questions.

THE RISE AND FALL OF SUGAR

With sugar down TO about
seven cents and would-be prof
teers in that commodity reported
as having been compelled to un-
load large amounts of it on the
market the condition OF which has
been such as to wipe out all gains,
consumers arc in a position to do
a little gloating. They will re-
member how they were compelled
to stand high with their grocer
in order TO get this staple and
then accept doles OF half-pound
to a pound at all too infrequent
intervals and pay from % to 80
cents a pound. They will remem-
Der how they often were required
to purchase various articles they
did not want in order 10 be priv
ileged to buy as little as a pound
OF sugar at price far in excess
Of that warranted by the supply
had that supply been made avail
able instead OF being held by
greedy persons who saw chance
to make the consumer pay eXor-
bitant profits. They will remem-
Der these things and they will
gloat.
Few people like to see others
suffer. but scarcely anybody will
have any sympathy for the sugar
prodtecr who has found himself
out OF luck instead OF rolling in
the wealth he cnvisioned when he
was at the height OF his opera
tons. II the proftecr has lost his
all but the clothes on his back the
consumer will consider that he
has not been made to suffer in
any degree whatever but is in fact
getting off easily. Housewives
will say the large hoardcr for gain
should hold himself to be fortu-
nate i'll that he is not called upon
to serve a Jail sentence i'll addi-
ton TO losing all that he may
have acquired in the early stages
of his market control.
But there is more solid rea-
son for rejoicing, that being the
likelihood that the former victims
may now regain what they lost.
Owing to the high price and linn
tied quantities available at a
time not So far back the majority
of persons were able to- obtain
such small amounts of sugar that
the total paid in excess of normal
profits by any family probably
was not large. 1t was but nat
ural that there should have been
some increases and even now. all
things considered. sugar should
be higher than it was before the
war That il is not is due to the
overrcaching greedy ones and
their losses now give the CON
lsumers opportunity to rccoup. a
few cents at a time, what they
overpaid in tens of cents.

Is This Negro Dead or Alive? Sheriff
Fails to Hang Him on Date Set.
New Orleans, Feb. 8.-Is Lon
ME Eaton. negro. Of Monroe, who
was convicted Of murder and
sentenced to hang, legally dead?
Eaton's execution date was set
for Friday. February 4. 1921.
Tuesday morning Governor Par
ker received a letter from Sheriff
T. A. Grant. of Ouachita parish.
explaining that Sheriff Grant
has been so rushed with work,
civil and criminal" that by
oversight, though unintention-
|al. !" he had dismissed the exc
cution date from his thoughts
and permitted the day to pass
without executing the negro.
Would Governor Parker please
advise the sheriff what to do?
An added reason why the execu-
ton date had been dismissed
from his mind. wrote the sheriff,
was that efforts had been made
to have Eaton's death sentence
com muted to life Imprisonment.
Meanwhile Eaton is very much
alive in the Ouachita parish pris-
on. He with negro named
Flournoy. was convicted of MUIR
dering a white man. Flournory
was sentenced for life.

ecutive Above Average.

ecutlye ABOVE Average.
At a meeting last week the
parish board elected Prof. j. N.
Warner, of Colfax, La, as super
intendent for the next four years.
This comes to most Of our people
as surprise. Only few knew
that the service of this man could
be had at all.
He has been superintendent of
Grant parish for II years and
the splendid school system built
up there during his term Of Office
stands as a monument to his ef-
ficiency and efforts. Mr.. Warner
is a college bred gentleman of
long teaching experience aside
from his work as superintend-
ent. He is we'll known in school
circles as a man of business abili-
ty far beyond the average school
man. So thoroughly organized
is his system of management
that he has every feature of the
work, supplies, employment, etc.,
at his command any time.
Union parish school board is
to be complimented in securing
the service of this able man just
now as we are merging into
greater things and awakening to
a vision Of what our schools
should be. The Journal being
personally acquainted with Mr..
Warner bespeaks a school career
of which every citizen will be
proud. -Bernice Journal.

Boil Weevii Can't be Gassed Out says
Expert.

Washington, Feb. s. Its a
mistake, the boil weevil is not to
be "gassed" out of the cotton
belt, as suggested by army folks
recently. No plans for such an
enterprise are in contemplation,
according to j. L. Webb, in
charge of anti-insect crusading
in southern fields for the depart
mdnt of agriculture.
For one thing, Mr.. Webb's
statement today said, it can't be
done. Apparently boil weevils
are equipped with gas masks.
Observations have indicated they
can stand more poison gas than
any human and to try to gas
them out of their dugouts in cot
ton bolls would menace the lives
of humans and animals in the vi.
cinity. Instead, Mr.. Webb said,
the government experts will
stick to the safe and effective
method of busting little arse
nate of lime discourager on cot
ton plants as a measure of con-
troll"
Eradication of the weevil, he
added is impossible. 1t is posi-
ble,- however, by this poison to
keep down the number Of weeviIs
to such an extent that a good
crop Of cotton can be raised.
