UNEMPLOYED.

lhG Secretary OF labor estimates
the number OF persons ont Ot en-
ployment in all the industries Of the
country rs 3,I3J.OUU.
This is far in excess Of all The
armed forces that the United States
Government moboiizcd during tine
war. TO find anything that COM
parcS with it as Il record Of econo-
mic collapse We must 80 back to
the troubled months in 1914 which
followed the German declaration
of war, when American finance,
commerce and industry were sud-
denly paralyzed by the TRANSFORMER
ton OF Europe into an armed camp.
1t is easy and usually foolish to
blame government for unemploy-
ment, but in this case there is a
clear and unmistakable relationship
When the Republican Senator's UNI
der the leadership of Senator Lodge
began their fight against the Treaty
Of Versailles they began also TO re-
cruit this vast army of unemployed.
AT the time these Senators organ
lied their intrigue against President
Wilson, American Labor Was al
work and American factories were
all running full time. American in
duStry was looking forward TO Il
long period Of prosperity in which
1t was to reap thc reward OF lis
participation in the reconstruction
Of wardcvaStatcd Europe. Ii WAS
plain enough that American pros
pcrity hung on The rehabilitation
and Sterilization OF political and
economic conditions in Europe.
Amarican interests were encXtrica-
bic involved with European inter
csts. To- get the world back on its
feet ii was imperative that the Unit
cd States should ratify the Treaty
OF Versailles and exert all its in!lu-
rnce and power to rc-cstablish Il
real peace in Europe.
Instead of doing the obvious
thing The American people permit
ted the Republican Senators to
wreck the treaty in order TO CRAFTY
their hatred Of Woodrow Wilson,
and when the treaty was wrecked
by the Senate, Europe was given
over to economic disintcsration.
Not satisfied with this exploit in
malicious destruction, the Rcpub-
lIcan leaders in control of the Re-
publican Congress that was elect
cd in the fall of 1913 refused to re-
wise taxation and refused likewise
TO reduce expenditures 10 a peace
time basis. Their answer to every
plea for action was that il the coun-
try wanted them to revise taxes it
must give them complete control of
the Government in 1920. The coun-
try. gave them complete control Of
the government and they have fail
ed to carry through a single pledge
that they made.
American foreign trade has stead
lily diminished since it became evil
dent that the Senate would moi
ratlfy the Treaty of Versailles.
American industry has steadily de-
cllned under an unbearablc burden
of taxation. Hundreds of Amcri-
can merchant ship are rusting
away because American commerce
has been slrangled by Republican
polliicS, and now Rcpublican
Secretary of Labor admits that D.
'3o,00O American workmen are
walking the streets because they
can find nothing to do.
This is the supreme achievement
OF normalcy.

1T comes from Washington that
Mr.. Harding has conferred broad
powers upon Ambassador Harvey
as his personal representative at the
Paris meeting Of the League Coun-
ell. These powers are said to be in
addition to his authorizations to
discuss mandates, which means Yap
and Mcsopotamia, and disarma-
mcnl.
The Importance of Colonel
llarvcy's duties, officials pointed
out, has increased since his ap-
pointmcnt to the Supreme Council
because the President has made
these questions gern1ane to the
work of the DISARMAMENT confer
cncc, soon to assemble in Washing
ton.
If the League of Nations has been
scrappcd, as MIR. Harding has told
us over and over again, what bust
ness has Harvey or any other Amer
! ican at this or any other meeting
OF the Supreme Council? If there
be no League how can there be a
Council OF the League?

&sDlocHiTY IN WASHINGTON.

Tie Boston Transcript, Senator
lodges own m0uihpiccc, has the
following TO SAY:
III is not surprising that the
present house should take Il cynical
view of Secretary Melons faith i'll
the common sense and common pat
riOtiSm of his cOuntrymcn, because
Il large number Of mediocriticS i'll
Congress today owe their election
10 the fact that they were able to
misrcprcsent themselves us men of
real ability. disintCreStcd and de-
sirious of an opportunity for ma
tional service. They hope to be re-
elected next year by rcsortins to
the same deception"
Thus does Republican author
lily reflect our own opinions and
those OF hundreds OF thousands of
Americans. 1t is Il frank character
iZation of many men in Congress
and how they slipped in by misrcp-
rrSentinS the Democratic admins
iraiion and holding out allurcmcnts
reducing expenses and taxation if
they should be elected. Now thai
their party power, and they arc
called upon to make good their
pledges, they are IT a complete loss
to know what 10 DO. They rcpu-
diatc Secretary Melons suggestion.
but. like small men, have 10 pro-
gram of their own.--E.r.
What the Republicans need in
Congress is a brainy. broad-mindcd
trusted leader in whom his co-work
ers and his countrymen have faith
and confidence. They have found
Lodge Il lame duck whose passions
and preiudiccs override his patriot
ism and principles.

Foll"wing the meeting of tax payers
In the Court House Monday morning
the farmers OF the county went into
immediate session to discuss the ques.
ton OF cotton reduction the COMING
season The meeting was presided
| over by Mr. w. ID. Byrd, chairman of
1hls county for the American Cotton
Association. In stating the cause of
the meeting Mr.. Byrd said that he was
oppoSea 10 any resolutions being
adopted unless the farmers were de-
terminod to stand by them. Short
talks advocating a restriction OF acre
age next year were made by Mcssrs.
W. l.. Gray, DR.. w. II. Dial, H. S. Bolt,
II. ID. McCravy, j. l.. NJ. Sumcrel, ].
\. Coats, B. f. Copeland, and Others.
MY Copeland struck the Keynote OF
the meeting and created considerable
amusement when he said that if the
farmers didn't reduce their acreage
they were a gone gosling"
In opposition to the general senti-
ment the first part Of the meeting
mat no binding resolution should be
adopted because they would not be
adhered to, Mr. Sumercl said that the
meeting should go on record as at
tempting to do sorn~,''"., ,.-hcthcr II
accomplished 1t or not. 1t would be
better he said, to try and fail than
not try at all. Therefore, he intro
duccd resolution advocating a rcduc-
tion or the acreage by fifty per cent,
out later consented to a substitute
resolution which was suggested bv
Er Dial and adopted by the meeting
rs follows:
Resolved 1t is the sense of this
meeting that IIaurens county should
be organized to reduce the cotton
acreage in the county fifty per cent"
The object or the substitute was
not only to express the sentiment OF
the meeting, but to put it into effect
~ a thorough organization.
In order to put the resolution into
effect another motion was adoptcd to
organize every school district in the
county and to secure pledges for re-
duction. Trustees of each school dis
trict we're requested to call meetings
and secure reduction pledges from cv-
c'y cotton grower. Mr.. BYRD stated
that he had on hand pledges made out
~ the American Cotton Association
and they could be secured by calling
npon him. They read as follows
