WHERE is TRUTH?

People who read some of the large
city dailies, and especially the Wash
ington dispatches, are becoming some
what befuddled over the conflicting
news from day to day.
One day we are told that the presi-
dent is lending a synmathetic ear to
Germany, and the next we read that
he is strong for the allies.
One correspondent sends out a story
that all is. peace and harmony between
the administration and congress, and
the same day another writer has them
on the brink of an unbridgable chasm
1t is so with much that we read.
1t is one thing today, another to-
morrow, and the day after neither is
correct.
Truth occasionally slips in, but we
are unable to recognize it when we
see it.
We never know what to believe.
1t is becoming a common occurrence
for people who think to read a news
dispatch and then cast it aside with
but one thought newspaper bunk"
The trouble is with large proper
ton of the city population as it is with
the managing editors of the big pa
pers-possibly more so.
A plain, dignifed statement of fact
no longer satisfies the public. 1t
wants thrills, excitement, sensations
If there is nothing of "spicy" nature
in a paper the sheet is too tame-not
worth reading.
Managing editors are up against
this modern degeneracy Of human
nature. They have no choice. 1t is
case of furnishing what the public de-
mands or quit printing newspaper.
Reporters and correspondents must
dish up what the editors require to
satisfy the public craving-or hop of
the payroll.

NASHVILLE MAN AGE 69,
GAINS TWENTY POUNDS.
Night Waterman Luckett Says He
Feels Like Different Man Since
Taking Tanlac.

1t certainly is remarkable that a
man sixty-nine years of age should
gain twenty pounds in weight, but
that is Just what Benjamin A. Luck
EFT says he did by taking Tanlac
Mr. Luckett is night Waterman for
the White Trunk and Bag Co., and
lives at 1901 Tennessee Street, West
Nashville, Tenn. To quote his own
words:
my health began to fail about
two years ago. | had no appetite,
and what little | did eat gave me con-
siderable discomfort afterwards, es-
pecially from gas that formed in my
stomach, and gave me tight stuffy
feeling. / had an awful pain across
the small of my back and my kid
neys bothered me a good deal.

lac when I did, for it suited my case
exactly. I am feeling like different
man now. I have such big appe-
tite l intend to get bigger lunch
basket. Everything | eat agrees with
me and I have gained twenty pounds
in weight. I'm on the job every night
now feeling fine.

Tanlac did for me is taking it too, and

LOWREY IS CORRECT.

In his speech in the House of Con-
gress, the Hon. b. G. Lowrey, Con-
gresham from this the secon district
of Mississippi, pointed out some facts
which our lawmakers at Washington
would do we'll to remember.
Mr.. LoWrey put himself on record
as being opposed to wars and big
standing armies; he is in favor of
reducing all needless expenditures.
He is eminently correct in his position
in this matter.
His speech is given in full else
where in this number of the Eagle
read it. 1t is full of truth and good
sense.

The cat hoped out of the bag the
other day, and now our suspicious are
verified.
Paris newspapers came out boldly
and demanded that French troops
seize the great Ruhr basin in Germany
"on any pretext. THE basin is rich
in coal and it's value is beyond COM
Ipute.
The press demanded the seizure re-
CARELESS of whether Germany met the
Preparations demands of the French or
not. Seize and hold them on any pre-
text!
Millions of Americans will lose faith
in the honor of the French because of
this exhibition of greed. They will be
long in recovering the position they
have lost in the estimation of the
world
Seizure of the basin would be a
justifiable retaliatory act in the event
of Germany's refusal to make restitu-
ton
TO seize it on "any preteXt, re-
CARELESS" would be beyond the realm
of reason and justice. 1t would be
idiotic, and eventually suicidal.

AFTER THE
BILLBOARDS.

Unsightly billboards, which are be-
coming something of an eyesore to
many country towns throughout the
United States, struck an energetic and
husky snag in Carmen, Okla, recently.
The snag was Frank A. Salter, editor
of the Carmen Headlight.
Mr. Salter, in order to rid Carmen
of the Objectionable feature, caused an
ordinance to be adopted by the NUM-
cipal council making it illeged to erect
any billboard larger than six by eight
feet or within six hundred feet or less
of any building.
Exit the billboards from Carmen.
Visitors to some of the larger cities
are amazed at the number and size OF
the billboards that are in evidence
They are everywhere, often unsightly
and generally obscuring the view.
Let the cities have them if they
want them. But there is no need fol
them in any small town or rural com
munity. There is nothing for the
community to gain by their presence
that can not be secured through the
columns of the local press.
Enriching outsiders at the expense
of home people should not appeal tf
any loyal person.

and also editors-have appetites that
must be appeased They can not
masticate empty pay envelopes,
1t is all rather disconcerting to peo-
pie who respect right and justice, who
believe in truth and veracity.
The possession of scrambled brains
favored with the spice of life may be
very satisfying to some people-even
to many of them-but there are few
who dissent.
Where is truth?
Far in the rear, trying to keep pace
with bunk.

Big corporations are voclferousiy
demanding a reduction in the price OF
labor. They can not understand why
the laborer should object to such a re-
duction-or perhaps they perfer not
to understand.
good captain in time of war does
not ask his men to go where he is not
willing to lead That would be cow
wardice and poor judgment, and Meth
or would last long in the army.
The chief officials are the captains
of industry. Craftsmen and laborers
are the under-officers and men.
Captains of industry should emu
late the captains of the army. They
should learn to lead instead OF drive
Americans will follow good leader
but they object to being driven IKE
sheep.
When the captains of industry pc
gin the downward trend by reducing
their own salaries in proportion to the
reduction demanded from their men
there will be less objection voiced by
labor.
