They have not only forfeited the right
to draw interest payments from the

have also released the new countries
from the necessity of paying interest,
and that means that these countries
will employ their SURPRISES in building
| up their own industries with their own
capital, or in building up the industries
of other countries. AS they are nearer
to the source of raw materials, these
countries will have an advantage in
their competition with European coun-
tries, and will, therefore, further un-
dermine Europe in the markets of the
world. European countries will not
permanently attract the investment
funds of their former debtors, for, un-
less these former debtors are willing
| to send their raw materials to Europe
to be converted mad SIT at home and

/ to collect the interest that would be

the creditor nations on this side of
the Atlantic cannot be increased ex-
cept at the risk of substituting Euro
pean manufactures for American man

markets. The debtor countries of Eu-
rope must find new and non -competi-
tive things to do, or face a long drawn
out period of excessive hardship. 1t

hardships under the best of conditions.
They are already curtaiIing their pur-
chases abroad and are concentrating
their efforts toward recovery upon

time in her history France is selling
more than she is buying. England,
even, is almost balancing her imports
of goods with exports of goods and
Germany is making most of the will
ingness of her people to work and of
an artificial advantage arising out of
her position in exchange. Germany is
apparently trying to maintain her ex-

preciating her currency at home to
prevent it's appreciation abroad

her favor. Europe's immediate credit

is grub staked" she cannot recover at
all. But Europe must paddle her own
canoe as far as she can. 1t is not in
cumbent upon the new world to restore
the old world to its former status of
trade domination. She gave her place
of power as a part of the price she
paid for the war. 1t was her choice

| 1t is this face which has led some
historians to allege that Thomas Paine
may have had hand in the writing Of
the Declaration of independence, for
without doubt there were expressed in
some of his previous writings ideas of

animated many of the sentiments en-
bodied in the document as written by
Jefferson. But there seems to be no
adequate foundation for the truth of

Jefferson set forth in precise terms

jefferson wrote it.
Jeffersons own account of the draft

PAYING A WORLD FOR WAR.

Europes recovery from the effects
Of the war will take years, and it is
to be doubted if she will ever be able
to win back the position she held be-
fore the war. That is the price which
Europe may pay for her failure to
foresee and avoid that frightful ca
lamity. In the four years from 1914 to
1918 Europe shot away the accumu-
lated savings of centuries and forfeited
a dominant position in the economy
of the world. Unfortunately, she for
feited her position before it was to the
interest of the world that she should
forfeit it. Industrious as she was be-
fore the war, Europe was never able
to do quite enough for the rest of the
world to pay her debt with goods. The
balance of trade in her dealings with
the American, for example, was always
in recent times against her. Her $780,
100000 inhabitants took more by bill
lions from the 250,00,00O in the Amer
icas than they ever gave. even though
they doubled and trebled the value of
raw materials in the process of con-
verting them into manufactured goods.
They made up the difference by lend
ing their accumulated savings to the
undeveloped countries of the new
world and maintained and even
strengthened their position. Other SER
vices than the labor expended on the
raw materials produced in America
were given in part payment, but the
interest drawn against investments in
the transportation systems and indus
trial machinery of the new world en-
abled them to balance their exchanges
and keep dominant place in the world
of economy. France, England ard
italy each showed a debit balance at
the end of every year of over $1,000
900 900 in their trade with the rest of
the world. England p>-id with ship
ping services, insurance and interest
France paid largely with the interest
on her investments, and Italy to
great extent paid by sending her Ia
borers to the source of production. OF
the three Italy has been least IN
jured for she can still send her labor
ers forth to do the work of the world.
England has perhaps retained some of
her investments, possibly great deal
OF them, but what she will draw in the
future will largely be offset by what
she will have to pay. She owes US
about $4,000, 100000. although her own
Investments abroad are much greater.
Frances position viii be partly re-
paired by the German indemnity, but
it is to be doubted if any of these
countries can hope to get back to nor

generation. 1t is even doubted If they

HENRY,s DEFIANCE.

The house of burgesses of Virginia,
of which Patrick Henry was a member,
went into a committee of the whole
on May 20, 1866, to consider the Stamp
act, seven resolutions We're introduced
on that occasion, which brought forth
a bloody" debate. Five were passed.

the resolution. says, Reaching the Gil
max of a passage of fearful invective
on the injustice and the impolicy of
the Stamp act, he said in tones of

It is not generally known that in the
first organization of the Revolutionary
army in Virginia, the chief command
was given to Patrick Henry. However,
he saw no action, because the commit

resign.
He was an inspiring and prominent
member of the second Continental
congress. In the Declaration Of
Rights passed by the Virginia con-
vention in June II, 1775, it is interest
ing to note that the declarations hav-
ing to do with political and religious
rights were drafted by Patrick Henry.
This convention drew UP constitu-

As governor a second time he had
the opportunity to prove his undying
loyalty to General Washington when
some few people plotted against the
supreme commander as head of the
armies.

PRESS COMMENT
Cured Sweet Potatoes sell Wen.


That curing of sweet potatoes TO
prevent spoilage is very profitable, GER
tain facts and figures stated in the
weekly news letter of June %, pub
lished by the United States depart
ment of agriculture, abundantly prove.
For instance, the first car of the cured
potatoes shipped by a curing company
of farmers in an Arkansas county from
their recently built plant brought $3.50
a bushel, whereas when first dug they
could have been sold on the local mar
ket for only so and so cents bushsl.
Less than 2 per cent of the potatoes
were found to be damaged.
In one Louisiana parish 100 barrels
of kiln dried potatoes sold at $3.50 a
barrel. Another man in that parish
whose potatoes were not cured was
able to get only So a barrel for them.
The man who sold the first lot at such
a good price remarked after the sale,
mo more cotton for me-" Kiln drying
had enabled him to procure price $50
per cent over the local market price

derived from curing the sweet potato

Where kissimmee Could
Make Good.

Tampa has laundry that has intro
duced new plan of caring for custo-
mers. 1t is new in Tampa, apparently,
although the same plan was used in
Jacksonville ten years ago. This Tam
pa laundry furnishes a bag to each
customer, and the dirty clothes are
weighed when the wagon calls for
them. The clothes are returned
promptly, the flatwork run through a
mangle, and the other work ready for
the starch and iron. The charge of five
cents the pound is made-and the rate
is making SO many new customers that
the other laundries will have to get
down to bedrock to keep running. The
prices in Jacksonville used to be three
cents the pound, and the company
would pay express charges one way On
the baskets If within $50 miles. Pos
sibly that price could not be main
tanned this time-but the five cent
rate can be made TO yield a good pro-
fit. Kissimmee, where rents are not
high, where water is not expensive,
and where the cost of production is ats
low, or even lower, than in many
places, could make a splendid reputa-
ton for herself if some laundry should
take up this plan and duplicate it,
Such an institution would take the
trade that now goes to at least hun
dred colored women, who seem to be
in a combination, and appear to be
very careless as to whether or not
they work. It would be a splendid
thing if someone would buy the I'M
used laundry and start a business that
would bring traffic from other COM
munities. 1t could be done-and would
yield the proprietors good income
