REPUBIICAN ECONOMY PRAISED BY DEMOCRAT
MANAGEMENT OF the Budget Bureau under the
IVl Harding administration has been satisfactory
to win the approval OF staunch Democratic
paper the New York World. 1t will interest Della
that in issue that paper said
editorially:
Federal budget for the fiscal year beginning July
next submitted by President Harding,
reflects great credit the administration for its
effort economy and business methods in tho govern
ment"
This is considerable concession coming as It does
from a paper whose partisanship is widely known. Re-
suctantly the World would acknowledge real Repub
lcan accomplishment It qualities its commendaton

will stand when Congress gets through with 1t is

holding endorsement the appropriation bills

sitted by President and heartily commended by
the World will not be increased when takes Legislative

In that event. hope to all Democratic papers fol-
low New York daily give the Repub-
lcan party all credit due
THAT economy will be practiced by Congress is
strongly indicated by the attitude taken

heads the appropriation committee House. Mad

But Bonar Law realizes that tht
British must make a sacrifice to ac-
complsh this end comparable to the
sacrifice which France would have
to make to accomplish It. Il
Frances war debt TO Great Britain
is cancelled. the latter country in ef-
feet pays a part OF Germany's obli-

German reparation account, to a
moratorium and to other measures
enabling Germany to re-establish
her credit.
What Europe needs and aims at IS
financial recovery. Her financial
system has been deranged more seri-
ously than her economic system. II
this recovery can be effected throuss
self-help the better It will be for al
concerned. Should the leading Eu-

On the Right Road
(From the New York Tribune).

Bonar Laws victory at tho polls
was rightfully interpreted as a ster
toward the tranquilization OF Eu-
rope. Its soothing effects were evil
dent the morning after the election
They are still more evident today,
for under the new Premier's leader
ship Great Britain has taken a
stand In the London reparation con-
ference which holds out the promise
OF practical and friendly settlement.
In the first place. Bonar Law has
discarded the policy Of the Balfour
letter. That letter blocked efforts
for a purely European solution by
dragging in the United States. It
predicated British action in scaling
war accounts on an American par
ticipation, which is at present out
of the question. II Great Britain,
France. Italy and Belgium, the coun-
tries most directly interested in a
readjustment, can formulate a plan
which will help them, and inciden-
tally write off some OF Germany's
obligations. the first long step will
have been taken toward European
recovery. The vicious circle in
which reparation discussion has been
travelling for three years or more
Will have been smashed.
Il am prepared to reconsider the
question OF cancellation of debts"
the British Premier said, 'If such
would insure a settle

ernment" Great Britain wants to
see European entrance revived and

oANADA's IMMIGRANT

CAMPAIGN
From the New York Herald.
Canada has again launched a cam.
paign TO attract American farmer,
TO the Dominion. BY newspaper ad,
vertising and by the direct appea
OF travelling agent the agricultural
advantages found there are being
described and inducements to I'm
migrate are being offered.
Excellent grain growing land al
low prices and long time payments
is the basic attraction. Climatic dis
advantages are minimized. As a
matter OF fact winter contrasts be-
tween our northwestern tier OF
States and the country little fur
ther north are not marked enough
to be serious handicap. Campaigns
similar to the one now under way
have been conducted in the past.
They were reasonably successful.
Many American families trekked
northward. Some of them remain
ed in their new homes. Not a few

That Canada's situation as regards
population is unsatisfactory has
long been evident. Latterly the
subject has been engaging the very
serious attention Of Dominion au-
thorities and business interests. In
October last there was an import
ant conference on the subject. In
response to a Government summons
representatives of transportation
companies leading immigrant off,
cials and heads of the newly organ
lied Canadian Colonization Associa-
ton assembled in ottawa.
The facts they laid before the
Minister Of Immigration were dis
turbing The Canadian Pacific and
the Canadian National railroads, the
Canadian Pacific steamships and
three great transatlantic steamship
lines were all represented by sin
gle spokesman. At the outset he
made the broad statement that in
the decade 1s11-1e21 Canada lost
to the United States every immi-
grant that came to her shores and
nearly 100000 persons besides.
He estimated the population OF
Canada in 1911 at 1906. .643. BY nat

TWELVE YEAR OLD
GIRL WAS MARRIED

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe French have en-
tered suit in the district court of this
county to annul the marriage Of their
daughter, Miss Terrell, to Chester
Wilkin. This young couple were mar
ried here on November End by County
Judge j. M, Grigsby. The license was
issued by County Clerk David D.
Shanks, and the Wilkins boy and .
young man by the name of Raymond
Rider both swore that the girls age
was eighteen years. Now comes tao
parents in their petition and swear
that the girl is only twelve years OF
age and that both of the parties
swearing to the girls age knew that
she was only twelve.
AS soon as the facts in the case
were known, Sheriff Talley put the
Oklahoma officers on the trail of the
young men but to date they have
evaded arrest. The girl is with her
parents. Mr.. French and his family
live in the southwest part of Texas

among the most prosperous farmers

which appeared on the opening night,
speaks we'll for the work of Mr.. Rice
and the committee, which consisted
of Miss Freda Eldridge, Mrs. F. W.

Mrs. Ebersole is deserving of espe-

is Mrs. John King and Harlow EN-

No meeting ever had a better or
more faithful corps Of ushers. They

Luther Cox and Chas. Kennard
were chairmen for Farmers Day.
These committees deserve especial
mention for the success of their I'M

The ladies of the churches served
two banquets and contributed WON
derfully to the pleasure and success
of the campaign.
There are no doubt dozens and pos
sibly hundreds who had some part,
which deserves special mention, but
this is impossible. Many helped to
build the tabernacle, large number
assisted in raising money to defray
the expense, and hundred and one
little things, taken as a whole to
make success. We would be glad to
mention each one, but memory is a
poor recorder and the campaign was
of such magnitude that it was impos-
sible to cover every detail. How
ever each one who had even a small
part in the conduct or arrangements
can feel that they have rendered a
service which is to their credit and
to the good Of mankind.

Months before the meeting was an

Rev. Pennington is hard worker and
he was on the job from the start to
the close. Upon his shoulders rest

were carried out, and there was not

be more appreciative of him in the
