of dollars from the government.
A strong committee representing the state
of Alabama, the American Cotton association
and the Farmers union is at work organizing
this state under the new law which provides
for businesslike marketing associations. This

NEW REGENT OF JAPAN HAS
DEMOCRATIC IDEAS

Prince Hirohito. the new regent of Japan, an
nounces that he intends to cultivate friendly
relations with other powers. He is popular and
has better ideas of democratic institutions than
any of his predecessors ever had.
The Crown Princes recent tour abroad was
the first ever taken by a member of the Japa-
nese royal family. 1t was an excellent way TO
prepare himself for assuming the regency
change in Japanese affairs which had been
expected for some time because of the Emper-
or's failing health. While Hirohito's tour was
short, he gained some first-hand knowledge,
particularly of England and France, and if he
is as intelligent as he is said to be, he no doubt
profited by what he saw in these two countries,
both democracies and radically different from
Japan until comparatively recent times.
Hirohito seems to be we'll aware of the mod
ern tendency throughout the world to make
rulers accountable to their subjects. He has
not the democratic ways of the Prince Of
Wales, but he seems to be trying to initiate the
Prince in counting public favor.
This 20-year-old youth becomes regent at a
critical period in his country's history. If he
and his advisers take the right course, the bur-
den of militarism, with its consequent dangers
to world peace, will be lifted from Japan, VINO
will achieve her true destiny as great indus
trial nation.

A MAGICIAN

Mark Stuyvesant in The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is generally recognized that the hearts Of
"show people" are at least one-fifth sympathy
and two-fifths charity. The many '.benefit
performances" for every sort of good work is
ample proof. And so it must have been with
particular delight that conjurer stranded
without cent in San Francisco met Artemus
Ward
This conjurer declared he had just arrived in
San Francisco after some astonishing adven-
lures in the orient. The tales he told delighted
Artemus Ward and DIR. E. P. Kingston, who
relates the incident in his "Artemus Ward as a
Lecturer The magician's adeptness at story
telling endeared him to Artemus, who said to
Kingston:
"He has that sweet respect for truth which
noble conjurers have. If he can force a card
as well as he can lie, he's lovely artist"
The joy the conjurer's tales gave Artemus
was repaid by the interest the humorist took
in seeing that the conjurer had his chance in
San Francisco. To assure success. Artemus
prepared the advertising for the magician
"The Renowned Observation-Disclosures
was the title Artemus coined for the conjurer.
Following this awesome, name was list of far
eastern potentates and notables the magician
was supposed to have entertained and the list
ended with the selectmen of Waterford, Me.
Artemus Wards humor was taken seriously and
the conjurer achieved success.
So certain was the conf rer that success lay
within the aura of Artemus Ward that he fol-
lowed Ward wherever he went This constancy
resulted in competition between the two
shows. At last Artemus, as well as Kingston,
began to realize that their own success was
jeopardized by the division of possible patrons.
Where there was population scarcely large
enough to pay expense of one show though all
attended, two shows would starve.
So Artemus called upon the conjurer and
said:
professor, two iconthraumaturgists can
not get on together in one town. If you don't
keep off my track shall turn blood-red wristist
myself and do it in my lecture"
You see, in those days one of the favorite
tricks of conjurers and spiritualist mediums
was to make letters in blood appear on the
arm. 1t is trick startling to the credulous,
and surprising even to those who today know
little about the tricks chemicals can be made
to play, and the patter of clever magician can
make it to appear as though literally by magic.
The threat was sufficient to cause the con-
jurer to mend his ways.

NAKICHEVAN
From the New York Tribune.


Nakichevan? Yes, Nakichevan
1t might be new one-half of l per cent
"thirst quencher," and it might be the name of
a new Broadway musical show. But it is nei-
Their. 1t is the name of the latest member of
the family of nations.
According to news just at hand Nakichevan
was born on October 13 last, of a treaty be-
tween the Turkish nationalist and the soviet
republic of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia.
1t is part of old Armenia and is to go for
ward or backward "autonomously" under the
protection of the republic of Azerbaijan.
The treaty creating Nakichevan recognizes
in its preamble 'the rights of people to sef-de-
termination and thereupon proceeds to bust
ness, which is the Selling by the Turks OF about
half of Caucasian Armenia and large tracts of
Georgian territory. Further, it abrogates all
prior treaties concerning the trans-C Caucasian
republics, excepting the so-called Russo-Tur-
kish agreement signed at Moscow last year.
How many states national entities
have come into being since 1918? Who can
name them offhand, along with their capitals
and oundaries-Azerbaijan Anatolia, Arme-
MIA, Constantinople, Czecho-Slovakia, the east
ern republic, Esthonia, Finland, Georgia, the
Kingdom of Hedjas, Jugo-Slavia, Lthuania, Lat
via, the Kingdom of Mesopotamia, Nakichevan
and Poland?
Are they all there? We doubt it.

SOME ROT BY HENRY CABOT.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, who is men,
Der of the conference for the limitation of ar
mamerts, has written to screen actor who had
sent him revolver that had been used in movie
plays, that the gun play in moving pictures
''tends to breed the war spirit by making
shooting at other people appear to be spirited
and exciting form of activity"
Shooting at other people is a somewhat spir-
tied sport and if the shooter be new at the
game it is exciting. Usually it is exciting for
the person at whom the shooter shoots. 1t is
difficult to be calm and composed when some
fellow is pumping lead at you and the lead ia
whizzing near enough for you to hear it whine
Lead pumped from pistol sings fearsome
song. 1t screams it passes and it causes its
intended mark to be enveloped with vast de-
sire to go away from there.
But for delegate to the armament confer
ence to declare that shooting in moving pic
ture plays tends to breed the war spirit is rot
raised to the nth degree.

PAUL COOK.

And no one can accumulate great fortune
quick by mechanical operations without con
ferring great benefits on mankind The fliv
yer means of locomotion is of far more
value to the world than to Mr. Ford
Now he wants the Muscle Shoals plant, bull
at enormous cost to the government, which can
do nothing useful with it. Ford says that Il
can be utilized, and that he is ready to do it.
If he can, and by the established Ford methods,
the profits to the people will be enormously
greater than any possible profits to Ford, no
matter how big.
Conceding that there may be things even in
mechanics which he has not discovered, Mr..
Ford is to take Mr.. Edison down to Muscle
Shoals to look the thing over. That is a great
combination. What Mr.. Ford and Mr. Edison
cannot think up in a mechanico-financial way
probably isn't.
Not satisfied with Muscle Shoals. now Mr.
Ford offers to buy all the naves in the worle
and pay cash for them, at discount, Of
course. He get steel from them for fliv
vers and things cheaper than from the ore ir
the ground. And that does look reasonabr \ X
Mr.. Ford seems to be in way to own aos
things in this country. Hugo SHINES seems l..
way to own most things in Europe, and
good deal in other continents. 1t might be well
if they could unite, take in Mr.. Edison, and
operate the world. Herr SHINES would sup
plement Ford in fine shape. AS journalist,
for example, Mr.. Ford has much to learn from
Herr SHINES. But Ford, SHINES and Edison
would be mighty alliance.

HOW THE QUAKERs HELP RUSSIA

From The New Republic.
Hundreds of children in Russia are develop
ing tuberculosis each week because they lack
the most vital necessities of an adequate diet.
Except for the babies, the children receive from
the government absolutely no ration of milk,
and it is to supply this demand that the Quak-
ers have established 20 milk stations through
which, they attempt to feed 10000 None come
to the feeding points as is the case in the work
of the American relief administration, but each
milk depot sends its product to the nearest
children's institution. For this work the Quak-
ers supply altogether an average of 1928, 900
tins of milk month.

SIXTY-FOUR MOPLAHS DIE
IN RAILROAD CAR

Another shocking example of British official
a Madras dispatch to the London Times. An
investigation is being made of the suffocation
of Cd Moplah prisoners who were being trans
ferred in a closed railroad car in the Madras
district.
According to the Times correspondent, when
the car was examined it was found that the
ventilating panels had been recently painted,
which closed their mesh and prevented the I'M
fortunate natives from getting air. The Mop
labs were in the five hours. No exami-
nation was made of their condition after they
were locked up and when a conductor of the
train went to give them water he discovered
most of the Moplahs dead and the others uncon-
scious. Only SO out of 100 in the car survived.
1t is said that there were evidences of terrific
struggle, some of the prisoners severely injuring
another in their attempts to get air.
It seems that the Moplahs were not only
placed in this dungeon on wheels without suf-
fcient ventilation, any provision for their
comfort. but had been previously weakened by
malaria and were entrained after spending
three months in the jungle.
1t is just such deplorable "muddling" as this
which makes it increasingly hard for the British
government to maintain order in India. The
Moplahs are said to be the fiercest and most
ndomitable of all the native tribes with which
the British have to cope. They are utterly
without fear and sacrifice their lives with the
utmost recklessness in battle. While they may
be troublesome and dangerous, there is clearly
no justification for treating them as little bet
ter than wild beasts
1t is not to be wondered at that the native
press has made the most of the affair, nor is it
strange that British newspapers, with one or
two exceptions, has ignored it. The suffo-
cation of these Moplahs was no doubt uninten-
tional, but such stupidity and carelessness on
the part of British officials cannot be excused
on the ground that the victims were enemies 20
the crown.

ERROR IN PAINTING

~ noticed so many of the residences along
Highland avenue that the house numbers have
been painted the same color as the house which
makes it practically impossible to it from
the street." said V. O. Moss of Meridian, Miss.
Recently while visiting in your city I had an
occasion to call on friend living on Highland
avenue. / got into taxi and started out and
we got to the block in which the house was but
we rode up and down the street eff that block
several times before we located the exact
house. The number had been painted white
just as the house and it was necessary for
the driver to get out of the taxi and walk
nearly to the step before he could distinguish
the house number"

Drennen, who is member of Highlands Meth
odist church. "Most of the guesses have CEN
tered about r. S. Munger, who is such gen.
erous contributor to the church, while T. H.
Notions name has frequently been mentioned.
Senator Conner has been mentioned as the do
nor, although he is not a member of Highlands
Methodist church, but of the First Methodist
church and it is improbable that if he gave
such gift that he would give it to any other
church than his own. Whoever the donor of
who gave the beautiful chime on thing is certain
the beautiful chimes one thing is certain
thing, for not alone will Highlands Methodist
church enjoy the gift but the entire community

BELL TOWERS AND SILOS

From the Savannah News. rsA
See where 200-ton silo was dynamited at
Mooseheart, ILL.,, to make way for campanile
in honor of James ]. Davis, Secretary of Labor.
A campanile is bell tower, and bell tower
presumably would be used to house bell to
call the cows home. But with the silo gone,
what would the cows eat when they answered
the bell? Monuments these days ought to be
service giving. A silo is better monument
than is campanile.
