The Review issued by the Ameri-
France is carrying on a very Sanger-
Gus propaganda against the proposed
tariff bill for the protection OF the
business interests of this country.
II would seem hardly necessary to
warn French. as we recently had to
warn England manufacturers that
the people of this country will not
look with favor upon any propa-
ganda carried on by the manufac-
turers or merchants of those coun-
tries against the nscai policy Of the
United States
This country is abundantly able
to settle It's own tariff policies with
out any advice or suggestion from
foreign countries. Some months ago
we vigorously criticised the action
OF Sheffield manufacturers In send
ing representatives over here to APP
pear before Congressional commit
tees In order to protest against our
proposed tariff on steel goods. and
fortunately, some English and Ca
madam papers had the good sense
TO take the same position and criti-
else their own people for this ef-
fort. The Review Issued by the
American Chamber OF Commerce in
its November 18th issue states that

United Daughters
To Give Legion Flag

The expressed purpose Of the
United Daughters Of the Confederacy
of Columbus to present handsome
American flag to the Tombigbee Post
of the American Legion is a very
commendable enterprise. The Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, generally
speaking, love the Confederate Flag
above all flags. 1t is right that they
should. He who writes these lines
occupies a seat in the same boat. The
fact that they are to present to the
soldiers of the World War an AM
erican flag shows fine spirit, the
spirit of united country.
Under the folds of the Stars and
Stripes, the soldiers of Uncle Sam,
boys from the South, the North, the
East and the West, marched to vic
tory on the bloody fields Of France
to make the world safe for demo-
cracy 1t was not "a sectional army,
but the victorious hosts of a united
country, that filled the soldiers Of the
kaiser full of lead and crushed Prus-
sian tyranny.
Mrs. Battle X. Sessums, president
Of the Daughters of the Confederacy,
informs the Dispatch that the flag
will be presented to the Tombigbee
Post on Decoration Day. 1t will be as
a golden chain, uniting an organiza-
ton that perpetuated the valor of the
heroes with another or
ganization that perpetuates the cour-
age of the soldiers of united coun-
try. 1t is a graceful thing to do.
