VICTORY MEDALS.

Ex-service men should, without fur
Their delay, apply for and receive their
victory medals. The former sailors
and soldiers are apparently Indifferent
to these medals, but as the years go
by they will have much greater af-
lection for them and they will be priv
ed above many earthly possessions of
much more substantial nature. The
old Confederate soldier prizes his
cross OF honor above anything that he
has ever received in the way of a
trinket or emblem and the veterans of
the world war will have the same sen.
timent in future years for these victo-
ry medals. They can be obtained now
without any difficulty and they should
be secured and kept as treasured me-
mentos of the most trying times
through which their possessors will
ever pass They viii be to them con-
crete evidence of their devotion to
duty when humanity and civilization
called.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS,

Defending the appropriations made
by the recent legislature Senator Full
Ter, of Memphis, declares that an in
crease of $G50,00O for the bi-ennia
period is not extravagant, on , the
ground that Tennessee is a progress
sive state and that expenses of gov
eminent must necessarily increase
Normally that would be quite true but
it must be remembered that compar
lson of appropriations made now is
made with those of two years ago when
the nation and the state were enjoy.
ing the greatest degree of prosperity
ever known. 1t should likewise be re.
membered that dollar during the
coming biennial period will be worth
much more than 1t was during the
past two years. This Is a fact that
was never apparently considered by
the law makers.
For ways that are devious, for pro.
cesses of reasoning that are difficult
to appreciate and understand the av.
erge Tennessee legislator is and will
remain mystery. An increase OF
more than ten per cent in the appro.
priations made for the running ex.
penses of the government will be diff
ficult to justify. Everything that the
state has to buy should and will cost
less during the next two years than
it did during the past two years. Ex-
cept in some unusual and isolated
cases, there should be no salary in
creases for the reason that the man
who enjoyed during 1919 and 1920 a
salary of say $4,000 year will find
that in 1921 and 1922 that sum will
be equal to $500 or $4,000 year.
Moreover the state Is under peculiar
obligation to set an example for the
reduction of expenses.
The taxpayers must during the com.
ing year and for several years proba-
bly,. curtail their expenditures be-
cause their incomes are bound to
shrink. The dollar is apparently has.
tening on to normally. II you don't
think so read The Herald's quotations
on the prices that our farmers are re
ceiving for their products and then
compare them with the prices of 1916
and you will soon ascertain that the
purchasing power of the dollar is now
equal to what It was In 1915 at least
so far as the acquisition of farm pro
ducts is concerned. 1t stands to rea
son that in these circumstances even
the same taxes collected in the recent
past will be burden this year. There
are two things that must be reduced
before burdens are equitabiy adjusted
and they are taxes and the charges
for transportation Of freight.

TRIUMPH or. JUSTICE.

Georgia has probably the most unen
yiable lynch record in the nation. Fol
several years there have been more
victims Of mob violence in that state
than in any other OF the South. II
Is very seldom that, no matter what
the circumstances there. is ever ar
arrest made for participation in q
lynching. Punishment of white men
for any violence done negroes is al
most unheard OF.
Hence there was not only general
surprise but almost universal com

half score of negroes. The convic,

Time. and again The Herald has

its vengeance exclusively upon those

which the citizens of Georgia viewed

causes to the horrible crime unearth.

SEES NO EXCUSE
FOR RDIPHTHERIA
Health Commissioner Says
Disease is Easily Con-
trolled
SUGGEST CARE
FOR SORE THROATS

"Diphtheria is one Of the most easily
controlled Of all diseases in its early
stages" said C II. Wells, OF the State
Board OF Health, this morning, in dis
cussing the Increase OF this disease,
and yet there were sixteen deaths In
Inc city OF Wilmington from this dis
ease during the past year.
There is no more excuse for diph-
iberia than there is for accidents
Both are preventable with the proper
care.
Parents should closely watch their
children for the FIRST signs OF the dis
ease and take no chances. Many cases
OF so-called sore throat are nothing
less than diphtheria in a mild form,
and yet may be the cause OF an cpl
demic in that neighborhOOd.
When a child develops a sore throat
keep it isolated from Othar children
until the case has developed sufil-
ciently to determine whether or not
1t IS diphtheria or simply due to a
cold.
An in1amed throat. either with or
without a fever, is one Of the symp-
toms Of diphtherla and should be
promptly treated.
Many cases Of dlphtheria have beI'
cured quickly by the prompt Use OF
antiioXin, and 10 is better TO take the
treatment at once. even though il is
not needed than TO wait and give the
disease a chance 10 develop. The
treatment is harmless, and its prompt
use has saved many lives.
THE best physicians make early
use Of the antitoXin wherever there ID
reason for believing the case may de-
velop diphtheria, and their success
proves that dlIhtheria can be con-
trolled II the physician is called in
time and takes prompt action.
