Is universal peace to come cut of the
great Var 1t is net. Even as
dream it is fading away.
Governmental greed in Europe is
the rock upon which it was wreck
ed. International hatred and dis
trust will keep it submerged.
On the surface diplomacy maintains
a fiction of unity, but underneath the
fires of imperialistic passion are rag
ing unchecked.
Dreams come and dreams go, but
peace for this world will come when
we are all gods, and not men.

THE PUBLISHERS
RESPONSIBILITY

Much demoralizing reading is print
ed on the plea that "the public wants

that of the preacher or the teacher
This, at any rate, is the view of the
Publishers of The Youths Companion
From its first issue to the present it
has been constant force for character
building. And with all that it has
been so wisely edited that no publica-
ton exists of more varied charm, more
inexhaustible and refreshing sources
of interest
The So issues of the coming year
will be crowded with serial stories,
short stories, editorials, poetry, facts
and fun. Only $3.50 for an amount
of reading equal to thirty-fve volumes
of fiction, humor, etc.

As THE
EDITOR
SEES IT

When a man exhibits extraordinary
intelligence and progressiveness the
world looks up to him as man among
men, His father comes in for a good
share of credit for having produced
such a son. The mother is generally
forgotten. Women usually are, where
credit is to be given.
And yet it is the mother who brings
him into the worldwide is his con-
slant teacher from infancy to maturity
who starts him on the road which
he travels with such distinction and
success.
Women have never been accorded
their just dues in this world. 1t will
be many years before they ever re-
ceive them, although each one brings
US little closer to the goal.
Man is quick to take but slow to
give.
Woman waits for her own.

Modern man is great on noise.

Modern man is great on noise.
A short time ago five hundred prom
inent people in New York attended a
banquet to aid the cause of Irish free
dom. The price was $4,000 a plate.
The press made much over it, and the
people who couldn't eat a hundred dol
lars worth of food were satisfied. 1t
satiated their craving for the lime
light.
If the same men had been asked to
contribute 500 each to the Irish fund
without any noise or publicity, we
fear the response would not have been
quite so generous.
Occasionally we hear of some men
who goes around doing good unbe-
known to his fellow men. But he
is like a rusty pebble on the beach.
The glitter of the bright ones attract
our attention and we pass the subdued
one by, although its value may be
many times as great.
Glitter is akin to noise, and modern
man likes both.
Irish freedom, if it comes, will be
won with some thing more substan-
tial than hundred dollar feeds.

The council of the league of nations,
breaking faith with Mr.. Wilson, has
handed it over to Japan, although its

Washington, Feb 7.-Suggestions by certain allied governments that the United States cancel outstanding loans have been made to the treasury department, Secretary D. F. Houston told the senate judiciary committee to- day. The committee is Investigating international financial relations for d recommendation to be submitted Presi- dent-elect Harding.
 "Certain allied governments have proposed to the United States that this country cancel allied loans and other indebtedness, Mr. Houston told the committee. Such proposals were unthinkable and all such requests were refused by the treasury department" "
 MT. Houston declined to name the governments which had sought to have their debts cancelled as a gift from the United States.

JOINT COMMITTEES 10 MEET TUESDAY ON ACREAGE REDUCTION Farmers Meeting Saturday Favors Strict Enforcement of Memphis
 Plan in County.

A committee of merchants and bankers, appointed at the request of the farmers convention here Satur- day to meet with a committee named by the convention, was announced to- day by Pres. P. F. Cleayer of the Commercial Club. It consists of Frank Farris, chairman, G. W. Ad- kisson, Jo Frauenthal, Charles Frau enthal, s. c. Smith, B. L. Harton, D. o. Harton, V. D. Hill, Tom Davis, w. M. Harrell, J. A. Mode, (. H. New bern and W. B. Mills. President Cleaver was asked to appoint a com- mittee of seven, but named a larger number in order that all the credit mercantile and banking interests of the city might be represented. The executive committee from the con- vention is headed by J. F. Raney, but its complete personnel could not be secured from the secretary, Charles Lienhart.
 The two committees will meet to- morrow (Tuesday) afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the purpose of devising plans to insure whole-hearted CO., operation of farming and business in terests of the county in carrying out the program known as the Memphis plan, which restricts the cotton acre. age to one-third of the land in culti- vation in 1920. This plan was favored by unanimous vote at Saturdays convention, and it was apparently the sense of the convention that every legal means be adopted to enforce a universal observance of the plan. As one speaker expressed it, the farmers want teeth" put into the plan and desire restriction of credit by mer- chans and bankers upon such farm CTS as are unwilling to reduce their cotton acreage.
 At tomorrow's meeting it is expect ed that joint executive committee will be named to organize the entire county and secure pledges from bank CTS, merchants, landlords and farm CTS to carry out the provisions of the Memphis plan in the 1921 crop.

o resign before Saturday.

Hobbs was taken from his bed last night and driven Tn an automible to the woods, where he was tarred and feathered and then his hair closely clipped Returning to Houston, the party of five masked men forced him to leave the automobile near the post office. He stood in the postofflce doorway until he was noticed by 9 passer by, who summoned police.
 Only one clue to the identity of the masked men was left. A card in Hobbs clothing :ntimated that violence would be visited upon other white men accused of a5sociating with ne- groes of the opposite sex, actions which would be summarily punished by the Klan. Warnings of the same kind have been posted on telegraph poles in various parts of the city.

(Py United Press)


 Dublin. Feb. 7.-Dublin expects the major offensive against the British by the Sim Fein to materialize this week. Officers of the British govern ment declared they would welcome decisive conflict as the quickest way in which to end hostilities.
 Last week the Sim Fein took the offensive and precipitated battles with the British military forces in which II were killed and 16 wounded. The expressed purpose of the Sim Fein is to force the British to place Dublin under martial law They believe the enforcement of martial law would help their cause politically.
 Non- -partisans in Ireland would also welcome a decisive conflict between the Sim Fein and the British. Months of desultory fighting and skirmishes have left the contestants at the point where hostilities were started and have not improved internal conditions in Ireland.

EXCHANGES WIFE
 FOR CHICAGO LOT
(By United Pressy

Chicago, Feb Marie Johnson, 20, the wife of Eric Johnson, was traded to their butcher, Berger Peter son, for a vacant lot valued at $500. Mrs. Johnson was arrested in police rain on a local hotel and she told this story to account for her presence there.
 The trade of the woman for the lot was drawn up in flawless legal style, she declared. A Chicago at torney drew up the agreement of sale No evidence of the transaction might have been uncovered had not Johnson attempted to regain possession of his wife. He went to the hotel after her and was given a beating by Gus Pet erson, brother of her owner. Their fight caused the police raid.
 Johnson also had story to tell in police court. He declared that his wife deserted him at Rockford, H., and left with Berger and Gus Pet erson When he located the trio Tn Chicago, he arranged for the exchange, he said
