Small wonder thac the Scenic high
way is being cut to pieces so that even
Fords get stuck in the mud. Trucks
as big as freight cars, loaded so full
that baby tractors and heavy farm
machinery protrude from every open-
ing, pass through town every day
bound for some northern destination.
No clay and gravel road, softened as
is all the soil in this region when the
frost is coming out of the ground,
could stand up under such traffic.
Contrary to all the views Of the wise
heads who watch with trepidation the
squanderings Of the highway depart
ment, such a road as the Scenic high
way will eventually have to be paved
If it is to remain public highway
open to all traffic .a..

So Eugene Debs has been to WASH

So Eugene Debs has been to Wash
ington, given Attorney General
Daughcrty the information he re-
quested in order to be able to review
his case, and returned to his cell in
the Atlanta federal prison. The con-
vict was permitted to make the trip
without guard-a very risky propo-
sition we should think-'upon his
word of honor" While there is no
question of the authority Of President
Harding and the attorney general to
grant Debs permission to travel I'M
guarded, this is a proceeding which
President Wilson would not tolerate.
Daugherty's excuse that Debs was al
lowed temporary liberty to travel
alone because he has had no attorney
to plead his cause is a weak one. He
preferred to conduct his own case,
and had he requested the services of
an attorney the government would
have made provision therefor. Neither
the American legion or the great ma
jority of the public takes very kindly
to the action of the administration,
and should the prisoner be pardoned
as result of review of his case the
sentiment will be one of general con-
domination.

HarVcV's Weekly: Human

Harvcy's Weekly: Human gener-
osity and chivalry could no further
go, even at the hands of gallant
Frenchmen, than in the act of Gen
eral Gaueher of the French army at
Neuss in placing memorial wrcaths
upon the graves of German soldiers,
both of the war of 1870 and of the
world war, with the tribute, "They
died in obedience to military orders"
The magnanimity of the deed was the
more emphasized by the conduct of
the German civilians who witnessed
it, who removed their hats while the
wreaths were being placed and a
prayer was being offered, but instantly
clapped them on their heads again the
instant band begin playing the
"Marseillaise." Only the narrow
Rhine is the boundary between the
two peoples, but the whole range of
humanity is the distance that separ-
ates their souls.

From a London paper we learn that,
at national conference of British
trade-union officials and representa-
tives, proposal to call gen
eral strike in order to force
the government to modify its an
nounced plan for relieving the unem-
pioyment crisis" was rejected by an
overwhelming majority. Even the
suggestion of single days strike Ito
influence parliament" was voted down.
Strikes, as the speakers who opposed
these suggestions declared, are an alb
surd remedy for unemployment. The
evils of involuntary idleness are not
cured by increased idlcncss and the
suspension of production. So-called
protest" strikes are rather popular
with extremists, but, common sense
perccivcs their folly.

In the death of Cardinal Gibbons,
archbishop Of Baltimore and primate
of the American Catholic hierarchy,
the United States loses one of it's
most ardent patriots and one of it's
ablest and most devoted churchmen.
He2was: #beloved by people of all
creeds and his loss is felt throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
Once upon time he is quoted as
saying: "Religion teaches US that we
are all children of one Father. We
are all brothers and sisters of the
same Redeemer and, consequently,
members of one family. Religion
teaches me the brotherhood of hu-
mainly" And this was the doctrine
that he preached and practiced daily
during his long and useful life. He
was ordained a priest at the-beginning
of the civil war and was in his
eighty-seventh year when death ended
his labor of love among his fellow
men.

our local houses arc willing to do q
cash and credit business but none Of
them will be so imprudent as to at
tempt to transact business on the
credit system only.
The buyers and the local business
houses themselves know that it pays
to be loyal to home institutions.
Boost for those things that will make
for more business in your home town
and do not be afraid to practice the
modern business gospel, the gospel Of
enlightened selfshness. Business is
not done with dollars and cents only,
it is done with good will also, and the
man who adheres too strongly to tie
theory that for every dollar he puts
out he must see two or three hopping
back in return is apt to lose out in the
long run.

1.-THE relation and Importance of bird

A story was published in Paris
newspapers a few days ago to the eff
feet that Charles E. Hughes had re-
signed as secretary of state and the
hopes of the French government,
which considers Mr.. Hughes a cham
pion of measures beneficial to France
went aglimmering. OF course the
story was untrue. Mr.. Hughes would
not have accepted the secretary OF

sign his position within a few DAYS.

William Scott of Stockport, manu-
facturcr of rope and Irvine, says there
are great possibilities for raising
hemp in Minnesota. That is doubt
less true, but the demand for it would
be somewhat lessencd by tthc action
of the fool Minnesota legislature,
which decreed, figuratively speaking,
that no murderer in this state shall
stretch hemp. It has been estimated
that it would require annually 10000
feet of hempen rope 70 hang the
murderers in Minnesota.

Sweden has found new job for
airplanes-thc laying Of land tele-
graph cables. The plan has been sue
ccssfully tried over a six-milc stretch,
which was laid in eight minutes.
Great possibilities, both military and
commercial, are seen by the Swedish
government in this enterprise, and
what can be accomplished in Sweden
can also be accomplished in the United
States. The possibilities of the air
plane, which is virtually in it's infancy,
are innumerable.

NOnpartisan Bunk.
The Nonpartisan News publishes
story to the effect that the reason why
A. H. Turrittin resigned IS private
secretary to the governor was because
of the suit brought by J. M. AFRO
wood of Kimban against Turrittin and
others. The News probably does not
know that this is the third suit
brought against Turcittin by AFRO
wood. The first was dismissed on mo-
ton of Arrowood's attorney, and in
the second suit. judgment was given
Turrittin by default, Arrowood failing
to appear. While the Journcl-Press
is not handing out any vcrdicts in
cases before the court, it does not be-
lieve that the pending suit had any
thing to do with Turrittin's rccigna-
ton. He has plenty of business of his
own which he decided needed his SER
vices more than he needed the position
