PROFIT SHARING is COMING

The dav is coming when pract!-
cally all of our great railroad
manufacturing and other corpora
tiCls will be run on profit Shar-
ing basis. When that time does
come it will see the end of strikes,
lockouts and all other forms OF
labor disturbances.
1t is doubtful, however, if we
see such a day until some great
upheaval or disaster has knocked
a reasonable degree of reasoning
and sense into heads that now
seem to be practically devoid OF
both.
The tendency today is to skin
every penny possible at the ex-
pense of somebody else, irrespect-
i've of the moral or legal rights
of others.
This tendency is not confined
to any one industry, or to any
particular class of people, 1t is
everywhere, and is on the in
crease.
We will have lulls between our
periods of strife, but as long as
systematic grab rules the com
mercial world we will have no
permanent stability in business
only a condition of wondering to-
dav what the morrow will bring
forth.
Profit sharing on an equitable
basis is the only salve that Will
heal the national wound.

The county paper is an edu-
cational institution and 1t
should, therefore, be read by
every pupil IN the county. Boys
ana girls should be trained
early in life to read about things
thao are happening today, on,
in other words, to learn history
in the making. The paper
should, therefore, 90 weekly IN
to every school. There should
be a correspondent Tor the
paper in every school COM
munlty. Every county paper can
be made a great asset in the
efforts of the citizenship TO
bring bout better economic,
educational. social and religious
conditions. If the county paper
is not what it should be, the
people of the county should
help to improve it.-W. +; Bond,

AS THE EDITOR SEES 1T

It has been state9 that England
will cancel the war debt owed to
hel by France. 1t has been
.ulther -tatsd that she will remit
aen poluon of the German repa-
4aCions.
This, it is understood, is con-
ditional upon financial and other
arrangements being made whereby
Germany may be enabled to wealth
er the storm and avoid total
collapse. England knows that
there can be no European restora-
tion with anarchy prevailing IN
Germany.
Many months ago, and more
recently it was suggested by Eu-
rope that all of the allied govern
ments cancel their war debts to
each other. This was very proper
ly opposed bv the press and peo-
pie of the United States for the
simple reason that preponder-
ance of the burden of cancellation
would have fallen upon this coun-
Try.
But if France, Italy and the
other nations of the conquering
group meet England in the same
spirit, and take action that is
required to restore the stability
of the world, then it would be
quite proper for our government
10 take similar action in SO far as
Justice will sanction.
We cannot permit ourselves to
be charged with dog in the
manager attitude, neither can we
tempted to pull other peoples
cheStnuts out of the fire.
We can afford to remit as
much, dollar for dollar, as any
other government, all conditions
being equal.
More than this Europe can not
in Justice ask.

81 do not think there is any question about the
Honorable Jimmie Cox being brought to Jackson
last week ostensiby to talk to the legislators, but
in fact for the purpose Of calling the attention OF
the people of Mississippi to Woodrow Wilson and
reviving the memory of the questionable part he
took in the campaign for the Senate in 1918. The
people Of Mississippi understand very we'll that
Cox not sent here to teach democracy and
the blessings which flow from democratic govern
ment. He is very pleasant man, but he knows
very little about the science of democratic govern
ment and less about the history of his country
He sent here by John Sharp Williams and Pat
Harrison who hate Vardaman and will do every
thing in their power to defeat him in the August
primary. Cox does not leader, but rather
as tool of a political faction. -Vardaman's

M. Cox came to Jackson in response to practically
unanimous invitation from the Mississippi Legisla-

Congress is still talking about
the soldier bonus. Talk is cheap
except to the tax payers.
Every time there is a possibility
of a bill being enacted into law
somebody throws a monkey wrench
into the machinery.
Soon, we fear, the bill for
wrenches will be greater than the
total cost Of a bonus.
Anyway, congress is long on
talk and short on bonus.

issue with each passing week and
Chas. Foreman, whose home is in
Vernon county, across the line, is the
latest to make substantial contribu-
ton to the public treasury for his
still investment. Foreman made
the mistake of coming into the village
of Viola to make sale for his product.
He sold some to Ed. Powell, who has
had something of an experience along
the booze line before. Powell got
gloriously drunk and when taken in
to custody by the local officials, did
not care what they did with him, even
extending an invitation to hang me
boys" But after few hours behind
lock and key he concluded that he
should not be the only one to suffer,
and came across with the information
as to where he got the joy juice.
Under Sheriff Stuart was on the
grounds at the time and acting upon
information secured from Powell,
put Foreman under arrest. Monday
Foreman appeared before Judge Lin
coin in county court, entered plea
of guilty as charged and was given
fine Of 5000 and costs, the total being
1925, with the alternative of six
months in jail. He paid with alacrity.
