In Memory

The death angel visited the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Green of Nash
vile on May 9Th and claimed as IT'S
victim their darling daughter, Viola.
She was II years, months and Is
days of age. She leaves a mother,
father, 2 brothers and sisters and
host of friends to mourn her going
away. She suffered only 2 weeks with
heart trouble and pneumonia. She
was brought to Carthage May 9TH and
laid to rest on Turkey Greek at the
family graveyard.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. Grin Lynch. A very large crowd
was present.
A precious blossom from her home has
passed away,
She has gone to live in heaven where
our Saviour is today;
Oh, don't weep for that blossom,
For it surely was the best,
Or our Saviour would have left her
Here on earth with the rest
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A, place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled

Controlling the Criminal Class.

NJ EW YORK has section known as "Hells
Kitchen" This is a refuge for criminals
of all classes. 1t also has dead line marking a
section of the city in which, by an unwritten law
of agreement criminals not to ply their trade.
New York is not peculiar in this. 1t is but model
for all other cities. The police of every city, it
on to their job, are supposed to have census
of all criminals within their boundaries. Wise
criminals live up to the police rules.
These usually require that they live quietly
as respectable citizens in the city of their residence,
and operate somewhere else. Or that they only
operate in districts which are known as unsafe
for respectable people who have purses or jewelry
and are recognized as strangers. They take
hers into forbidden precincts at their risk
and are frequently we'll known that the mere
and recognized as strangers. They take
technique OF job brings them under suspicion.
Why do the police authorities permit this sort
of arrangement? Because it is the easiest way. 1t
gives the required measure of protection to those
who demand it. 1t leaves other sections to those
classes more less familiar to each other, and
who form mutual alliances from which grow
gangs and feuds 1t is but another form of the
familiar method of handling tramps who were
never arrested nor put at work. but made to move
on" 1t is like the prayers of Kansas which sent
the grasshopper scourgc to Nebraska.
When wave of crime comes, it is usually
because the criminal class gets gay, breaks its
agreements, takes fling in forbidden places and,
in fact, runs amuck. Or perhaps new blood un-
dertakes to make easy money" by breaking all
the accepted rules OF honor among thieves. Just
now it is popular among the thirsty to charge
our domestic wave of crime" on prohibition.
1t is said that sober clever crooks and
harder to catch than drunken ones Also that de-
MED loquor, there is an increase of doping which

harder to trace criminals to their haunts.
But "Hells Kitchen" is still there. So the
dead lines, and from Europe where prohibition
is unknown, where the thirsty have no occasion
for troubling and the drunkard is of course there
is this same increase of the of narcotics and
like wave of crime. The cause of crime is deeper
down in national life than drink narcotics or
police rules. 1t GIBBS and flows not alone with
economic conditions 1t is the product of the aver
age of national conscience of citizenship; of the
attitude of the average man toward business and

Fixing Her Own Penalties.

Is Germany responsible for her financial
i wreckage? If she is, she will be her own pay
master. Germany started with the avowed purpose
of not fulfilling the treaty. The Wirth govern
ment is the only one that has ever attempted to
stem this tide of opinion. 1t alone seems to have
made an honest effort to fulfill the national OBJ
legations.
From the first, the German leaders have de-
clared they could not make the reparations pay
ments But they did make the first after protesting
as loudly that they could not as they now protest
they cannot pay the second installment The
French advance in the Ruhr was the compulsion
in the first instance; possibly further advance
may be the effective prod in the second.
The one financial objective of France, Great
Britain, Italy and Belgium. has been to balance
their budgets. Germany has not even pretended
to do this. She has even seemed to avoid it and
make it increasingly impossible. She has kept a
food of ofhceholders. She has paid doles and
subsidies. She has kept the printing presses busy.
She does not lack financial ability, but when any
spoke the truth, he was deposed from Office
degraded disoyal or assassinated.
Yet Germany must balance her budget before
she can stop her presses and begin a gradual
retirement of their now nearly valueless output.
She must cut expenses to the quick and increase
taxation to more than meet them, to avoid her own
collapse from which she would be the chief, if
not the only sufferer. Every other great power
of Europe has used heroic measures to preserve
its financial integrity. She was in the better posi-
ton with neither army navy to support and
with her industries all intact,
Nor is it probable that anything she may do
will save her from paying reparations. What she
does not pay France can and probably will take
German ruin would not be displeasng to France
II self-imposed, it would be quite as acceptable
to her enemy. who would gladly undertake to make
it complete and as permanent possible. Ger
many would seem to have everything to lose, which
she has left. and nothing to gain by following
this course. and wehave great faith that the common
sense of the great body of her people will her
from that sort Of wild-horse leadership.

mum, Notwithstanding the fact that
the annuity fund made up of con-
tributions by civil service employees
of 211 percent of their salaries from
the date said act took effect down
to the ninth day of September.
1921. amounts to over $16,000.000.
1t appears to have been agreed
by the steering committee that no
pension legislation increasing the
present rate of pensions should be
enacted at the special session An
nuitants were then classed as PEN
sioners and they were informed Of
the decision taken with regard 70
pension legislation. This action was
based upon the misuse or mIscon-
ception of the meaning of the word
"annuitants" and classifying them
as pensioners" thus disposing of
their application. as set forth in the
Townsend Maloney bill, S. 1852. II.
r. 6433.
Annuities are based upon contract
and a valuable consideration. /. e..

time as held by the United States

Pensions are the bounty OF the

On the other hand annuft,es are

at common law their payment could
be enforced by suit at law under
Writ Of Annuity" and in the
United States they can be enforced
in an action Of covenant, debt or
assumpsit.
No suit. however. can be main
tained in any court for a pension.
and the only court in which a
claimant could possibly be heard
would be the Court Of Claims where
he would unquestionably be advised
that he had mistaken his forum and
that the proper forum in which TO
apply was the Pension Bureau, and
that the only man who could pass
upon his claim would be the Com
missioner Of Pensions
Another distinction between a
pension and an annuity is that a
pension claim is not a claim against
the government in the sense in
which that term is used in the Law
which prohibits a government en-
ploye from prosecuting "a claim
against the government" until after
the expiration of two years from the
time he leaves the government
service.
A claim for pension is merely a
claim on the part Of an individual
to establish his or her identity as
the beneficiary specified in the pen
sion appropriation bill which pro-
vides for payment.
Let us hope. therefore. that these
distinctions will be borne in mind
by our legislators when considering
the claim of these annuitants under
the Townsend-Maloney bill. S. 1854,
