A Mans a Man.

A Deadwood dispatch records the death
of Wing Tsue, long resident of the Black
Hills. He had returned to the land OF his
fathers two years ago to die, his health hav-
ing failed. He was SO years old. Wing Tsue
arrived in the Black Hills with the earliest
gold hunters. He located in Deadwood gulcn
in 1876, where the city of Deadwood now
stands. He was shrewd business man, and
he engaged in numerous enterprises. AT the
time of his death he owned heavy interests In
mining ground and real estate. 1t IS SAID OF
him that his word was as good as his bond
He was public spirited, a supporter OF Chart
able enterprises and a patriotic citizen. He
left sons and daughters to whom he had
given a good education, two of the sons be-
ing university graduates. He was the only
Chinese ever admitted to membership in the
Society of Black Hills Pioneers. He was
highly esteemed by all who knew him. Worth
makes no distinction of race or creed; no
bilitv is the heritage OF all men. Wing Tsue
was man in all that manhood implies.

Sad, But Hope It's True.
turn

The foremost exponent of what is euphe-
mistical1y called the manly art OF self defense,
William H. Dempsey, other wise known as the
worlds heavyweight champion pugilist, has
woefully expressed the opinion that never
again will he be able to receive as much as
$50OOO0 in another boxing contest. That is
very sad news indeed, but the hope that it is
true will surely be held by everybody except
the boxers, the promoters and the hangers-on
A half million dollars for ten or thirty min
utes' boxing seems to indicate more than any
thing else that the people who have an in
terest in boxing and money to spend have
taken leave of their senses. No boxer ever
lived who was worth that much for single
performance, and the amount could be cut
in two many times before being brought down
to a reasonable sum.
The prize fight promoters, OF course and
the general public, the fight fans, are to blame
for the condition even more than the boxers
themselves The promoters may be excused
on the ground that they are doing what has
been the style or fashion in this country tor
some years, prohteerng; but critics might as
well understand that promoters could not
have paid fabulous purses to fighters and
made immense fortunes on a single venture
if the public had not been willing So it is
that even the promoters really can be elimi-
mated, with only the public lett to take the
blame for the gigantic prizes for which pro-
fessiona pugilists fight. If the public wishes
to be imposed upon prize fight promoters
always can be found who will oblige it. 1t
has been claimed frequently in the past that
here in America "a sucker is born every
minute" prize fighters and prize fight pro-
motors are in position to know how true
that is. From the way fight fans have been
pouring gold into the laps of the boxers and
promoters it is considered very likely that
more suckers than one are born every min
ute, ard that lot OF them find their way
to the ringside.

HIGH Taxes and Shrunken Values.

The fact that the value of our agricultural
manufactured and mineral products has
shrunken from ninety billion dollars i'll 1918
to perhaps less than fifty billion dollars in
1921 while the government is to collect tax
of five billion dollars for this year and state
county and city governments are also taxing
people to the limit, leads the Manufacturers
Record to point out that disaster faces this
country unless there is change toward high
er prices and larger profits. And this paper
we'll states the case, observes the Augusta
Chronicle, which says continued low prices
will lead to national and state conhscation OF
property or reputation OF obligations. When
people are making money they can pay taxes
and do not complain, but when they are not
making money they cannot continue to do
it, The Record writes so much to the point
that we reproduce in part what it says;
The business of the country cannot pos
sibly stand such a strain under low prices.
Present prices mean StagnatlOn, poverty,
unemployment and little or no profit to
the vast majority of the agricultural and
industrial interests OF the country and to
very large proportion OF the general
mercantile trade Counting all taxation
state, county, city and national, we will
this year have to collect between Is and
20 per cent of the total output OF all the
country's agricultural, manufacturing and
mining interests. Continued much longer
that would mean bankruptcy OF all pro-
ducing interests and ultimate national re-
pudiation of obligations
There is only one way to escape this
inevitable outcome and that is by higher
prices and larger profits, and these can
only come through enlarged credits from
all financial institutions, from that OF the
small country bank to that OF the greatest
dominant power of the country the Fed
eral Reserve System.
Continued low prices will lead to ma
tional and state conhscation OF property
or reputation of obligations.
1--WE cannot continue to collect IS to 70
per cent of the total value of output es-
pecially when this output is on an I'M
profitable basis to start WITH without 60
ing straight down the toboggan to inev-
table ruin.
"The nation has followed the political
economists. so-Caed and the financial in
fluences which have been fighting for low
prices until the nation is beginning to
realize that it has been blinded by false
teachings and led by blind teachers, and is
headed for the abyss unless change IS
made very quickly.
UNLESS the treasury department, the
federal reserve system and our bankers
and political economists generally right
about face, and do it quickly, the nation
will have to pay within the next few
years tremendous penalty for blunders
of finance unreasonable in their evil con-
sequences Fortunately there are indCa-
tons that these facts are at last being
driven home into the federal reserve sys-
tenn and fnanciers generally"

The Expert Fad.

Were it not for the experts lots Of
things could be done for good in this
world. They are beginning to tackle the
American proposal to junk battleships
now-as if the simple plan OF putting them
out of commission could not be carried
out by any man willing to keep bust
ness agreement. Away with the experts.
On general principles they are always too
smart to be practical,-Cordele Dispatch
The country is over-run and badly afflicted
with so-called experts of every kind. Every
where we go and everything we do one OF
them is at our elbow to tell us how to do it.
The other day one of them actually used
column of good newspaper space to inform
the public that rabbit makes good eating.
Our observation is that great many of them
are more expert at drawing their salaries
than at anything else 1t is a fad that is cost
ing the public lot of money for advice that
is often impractical and worse than worthless.
1t is one of many things that are making taxes
burdensome without giving anything in re-
turn

Justi6able, But Must Pay; Conflicting
Decisions by Georgia Juries.
From the Savannah News.


ii YOU kill a man and jury finds you not
guilty and then his widow sues you and gets
a verdict for $4,000, which verdict is upheld
by the state court of appeals, and two men
who were on the jury III the criminal case
were also on the jury in the civil case-mayDe
it would discourage your use OF firearms in
future Is the tendency now in Georgia to dis
courage homicide by routing the penalties
through the civil rather than through the
criminal courts? The case that suggests this
idea is that of McCranie against Williams.
Williams, of Pavo, killed McCranie and went
free in the criminal courts Mrs. McCranie
brought suit and was given a verdict tor SZO-
O0O The case was appealed and was decided
in the widows favor by the court OF appeals.
1t will at once strike the reader as very
strange that the slayer should have been held
guiltlcss of any offenSe in the criminal courts,
where he claimed he shot in Selt-detense, and
should be mulcted for such heavy damages
on the civil side Was it a question OF legal
talent? Or new evidence? Or is it the custom
in Georgia to be mighty light on the survivor
when two men meet and only one comes away
alive, in so far as penalties for murder or
manslaughter are concerned? The criminal!
verdict seems to say Williams had the right
to kill McCranie The civil verdict seems to
say he was very much to blame and that he
was $4,000 in the wrong. Has new method
been discovered for correcting, in some meas
ure the mistakes OF criminal court Jures!
Down in Mississippi and Louisiana some time
ago the state paid a large sum to man VINO
had been wrongfully sent to the penltent1ary
for long term. With these two cases in view
is there being worked out a plan to correct
mistakes both against and in favor OF defend
ants charged with crime!

A Hint to the Wise.
From the Triton Gazette.

Corn, syrup, hay, velvet beans and peanuts
are begging for market and sweet potatoes
are in but little better shape. But we see no
turkeys for SALE and chickens and eggs are
so high that the average man can afford them
only as luxuries. Butter is still selling for IS
and 40 cents a pound and milk commands
good price. Corn, hay and peanuts can be
fed to stock and the stock sold, but what the
average man needs now is something that
will bring the ready cash. 1t is easier to raise
chickens and turkeys than it is to grow corn,
sugar cane or peanuts, and if people pay more
attention to the production of these so-called
side lines they will live easier and have more
money to spend. Chickens, eggs and dairy
products bring in a little money all the time.
They enable the producer to pay cash for
what he or she must buy and to lay little
something by for a rainy day.

The Dangerous Poppy.
From the Savannah Press.

There is a side to the poppy question which
has cropped out in Washington
A member of congress has suggested the
distribution of the seed of the red field poppy
with dissemination of information regarding
the culture. This was a sentimental sugges-
ton so that the people of this country might
show their appreciation of the heroes who
fought and died in Flanders Field.
But the department of agriculture, looking
at the matter through less sentimental eyes,
has negatived the suggestion and has laid
down the broad, general, automatic PROPOSE
ton that the more peoples country has the
worse off that country is. In other words, the
poppy beautiful where it grows in riotous pro-
fusion, and symbol of patriotic devotion, is a
pest to agriculturists and may become bane
to tillers of the soil if brought into the Unit
ed States on large scale.
A number Of protests have come against
the indscriminate planting of peoples for fear
that they may become noxious weeds

Here's One for the Dear Consumer.
From the Bainbridge Post-searchlight.

You hear so much about the dear consumer.
He is useful part of the commerce. but our
experience with him is that he usually wants
anything for less than it costs to make it..
Why, we have even heard them kick like
steers on paying little $3.50 for county
paper and talk as if some big corporation was
choking them to death. The average consumer
wants all things that he has to buy at less
than cost of production, if you want to know
the truth about it. Let him have something
to sell and he wants the earth for it, and is
just as grasping as the "souless corporation"
Brethren, it is grab game between 'em all.

The Flapper.

A newspaper Of one of the big cities dis
covers Dr. Henry Noble McCracken, presi-
dent of Vassar college, using the word fiapper
without quotation marks. 1t assumes that Dr.
McCracken would not so use the word if it
were not correct etymologicaly and consul
tation of the dictionary supports that view.
One of the definitions of happer, as given by
Webster's dictionary, is as follows: "a young
bird, especially duck not yet able to fly
we'll" This definition reveals that the term
1apper as applied to young girls whose in
clinations and aspirations are those OF their
elders is quite apt. They are indeed young
birds not able to fly we'll, but essaying to fly
Notwithstanding. 1t has been somewhat Gus
itomary to regard the happer with displeas-
ure, if not opprobium, as if it were discredit-
able to be fapper.
Flappers have been considered vain and
silly, if not worse. 1t is to be questioned,
however, whether there is anything abnormal,
or subnormal, about the fapper. Our contem-
porary is inclined to believe that the t1apper
is wholly normal that it is better to let her
flap bit and enjoy herself than to expect
all healthy, virie girls to be sensible and pro-
sale. All girls must live through the fapper
years. and it is surprising Cor is IT'D how
many girls emerge from these years to be-
come sensible, charming women.
