CANCEL THE WAR DEBTS.

In his speech at SpartanbufS last
week Gov. Cooper is quoted as say
ing that the best thing the United
States can do is to cancel its war
debts against the allied nations OF
Europe. Gov. Cooper takes a bold
stand in advocating so sweeping a
measure, but the position he takes
can be sustained by the soundest OF
logic and reason.
If the allied nations are not able
to pay the most sensible thing to do
is to cancel the debts they owe
us. A people heavily in debt are
pretty apt to lose all interest in the

BANKS AND COTTON.

The reported widespread combina-
ton of bankers to refrain from loan
ms money to cotton planters except
when the latter agree to curtail cot
ton acreage IS another instance of
the power of the banks to bring about
what is deemed an economic essen
tial. 1t will be remembered that back
to normalcy" and "readjustment'
was precipitated largely when a great
many banks began to curtal loans.
Some persons take exception to this
system of banking censorship in in
dustry. but why should not a bank
ing institution exercise exceeding care
III how it uses the money which
does not belong to itself, but belongs
to depositors? If economic condi-
tions are such as not to warrant in
discriminate loans then it would ap
pear wise to refrain. The main point
however. is that such power must not
be exercised unless there is no reason
abl doubt about its propriety and nee
essity.
Banks make their profits from
leaning money. If they did not do Sc
they would evaporate. 1t is illogica
to assume that they would curtai
loans-on which they earn money -
without mighty good reasons.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic.

vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons, a
grocer Of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and

Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black

valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.

Back to Town Crier

How many residents Of any small
community have ever considered what
might happen If there were no news
papers? Just previous to Sub
scribe for Your Home Town Paper
Week." which is to be observed the
country over November 7-l2, is Ii good
time to recall the plight of Macon,
Mo, not long ago, when fire put the
Chronicle-Herald out Of business for
two weeks.
According to The Publishers Aux
Hilary, the old town crier. relic OF
many years back, was yanked from
his hiding place, busted off, and put
back on his job, with jsnging bell,
megaphone, and fog horn voice only
a little worse for long disuse.
1t may have been a novelty for two
weeks. But think Of community
without printers ink, compelled to get
its announcements Of auctions, sales,
court sessions, births, marriages,
deaths epidemics of sickness, dog Or
dinances, board meetings, commence
ments, tax notices, advertisements
of help and situations wanted, acct
dents, and the rest, through a shouted
word like that of the ordinary train
announcer in a city depot. The town
crier was romantic figure in his day,
but few towns would like to return to
his mlnistratlOnS row,
When one thinks Of the temporary
plight Of Macon, and that it might
become the permanent handicap of
many towns, it is well to think Of sup
porting the local paper.

Here are some random observations
OF man who has visited and studied
a good many. small communities: If
you read your local paper you will
not miss much that is happening
around home. There is no use saying
that you wish your TOWN had paper
like one in The other town, for the
other fellow there is saying the same
thing. The man who reads his local
paper thoroughly is usually pretty
good citizen and has it all over the
fellow who does not. Local papers,
when all is said and done, do more to
uphold the institutions Of this state
and country than any other known
contributing force in the worlds work.

IN MEMoRIUM
Gditor Dresden Enterprise:

/
AS former resident of Weakley
county and of Dresden, permit me
space to freely tell Of my sincere
sorrow for the death of so good a
man and citizen as Walter R. Bob
bitt, who long with, has recently
been called from you.
It is the due of him who is now
no more that more than passing an
nouncement be made Of his life and
virtues and his death. The mer-
| chants of Dresden did themselves
honor when they closed their stores
during the hours Of his funeral.
Very little can be said and less
done to or for the dead, and yet, we
feeble creatures crawling helpless
ly, as it were, on and through this
earth and life can not help and
should not try to help doing what
ever little things may be done to
evidence our admiration of the liv-
ing and our respect for the worthy
dead.
have known Walter Bobbitt for
long years. / knew and he knew
when last l saw him and bid him
goodbye, that it was not probable
we would ever meet here again. |
remember his courageous words,
touching the final call, that he ap-
pretended | remember his cheer
fitness, notwithstanding, and l can
see the smile of contentment and
readiness for the great summons,
play upon his features. He did not
trembe or murmur. Like the brave
virtuous, true man he was, he dem
onstrated feeling of fearlessness
and readiness to leave this world
when the summons came, and he
knew the summons was not distant.
| can feel the warm grip of his
hand shake, which told me that it
was the last one for me from him.
He was such plain, simple, UNI
pretentious, virtuous kindly, gen
erous and manly deserving man! He |
was so charitable and free from
hatreds, prejudices and so ever
ready to scatter sunshine and rem
der kindly and useful service to his
fellows.
/ remember a time, long ago,
when a poor man lay deathly sick,
out beyond the town limits of Ores
den, one very cold December night.
The sick man was a member Of
some Paternity, and it appeared
that the fraternity had overlooked
to nurse or see to his wants. Wal
ter said to me, "Will you go with
me out there and sit up and help
the family with the poor man, to-
night; we might be greatly needed"
| said we will 60 We went. The
man was very sick, and died near
dawn, at an hour when had sought
a moments rest, in another room,
but with Walter Bobbitt by his side
comforting him and serving him, to
the extent of his ability. No others
were there but Walter and l, and
we remained till up in the day; and,
in fact, / left Walter there, assist
ing and ministering. And so he did
and SO he served and so he lived,
naturally humane and kindly, nat
urally honest, sincere and truthful,
naturally affectionate, unselfish
and thoughtful of others and by
practicing for years these natural
virtues, he became marvelously
gentle and good and faithful to
duty and helpfulness; and whether
or not life's span begins again in a
new world or ends in death, his SER
vice and work and Illustrations will
live in the memory Of every one
who knew him forever. I
Very Respectfully,
