comment in several morning news
papers. A French semi official says
that the American claim comes exactly
at the moment when the accord based
on thesCahnes project was about to be
realized, and that it tends to destroy
the whole system of reparations so
laboriously elaborated by the Allied
experts. The Echo De Paris declares
it is undoubtedly too late to give the
United States it's share Of the billion
gold marks paid by Germany on Au-
gust 80 last as Belgium and England
already have received their allotmcnts
The allies certainly cannot refuse to
give the United States its due, the
newspaper adds, but This question
must be determined-of what utility
is an American army on the Rhine If
it isn't in political cooperation with
the allied governments" The Matin
declares that if the United States per-
sists in this claim the Belgian priority
and the sums of the French govern
tment experts are appreciably dis
counted

The city of Florence has won the
next annual convention of the South
Carolina division Of the American Le-
gion.
Some people are just waiting and
waiting, while others are working and
working. 1t is the worker who is to get
there.
The ground hog is supposed to have
had his full forty days today, and from
now on the weather man will have an
opportunity to behave himself If he so
desires.
The real solution of the economic
problems ahead of US Is going to come
out Of the brain and energy Of individ-
ual farmers. These farmers can get
ideas from other people, if other people
have ideas, brt they alone will solve
the problem.
The radio telephone has come. Re
ceivers are spreading all over the coun-
try and it will not be a great while be-
fore the wireless telephone has as little
novelty as the wire system. Many of
the towns surrounding Yorkville-
Kings Mountain, Chester, Gastonia,
Gaffney and Rock Hill have either in
stalled wireless telephones or are ar
ranging to install them.
Political announcements are now in
order, and before the expiration of an
other month there will be a pretty good
idea of the field. There is some little
talk of a few women as possible can
didates for various county offices; but
nothing definite along that line. So far
as The Yorkville Enquirer has infor-
nation, direct or indirect, no woman OF
the county has authorized a word that
indicates a probable candidacy.

Of course there is a limit to the value
o. printing press money that is based
entirely on faith in the government.
When the government makes promises
in excess of it's capacity it is not better
off than the individual who has done
the same. But the credit of this gov
ernment is easily equal to the par value
of sufficient printing press money to
pay the bonus and within a few years
this money can be retired. The expense
would fall on all people alike, and it
would not hurt anybody. But serious
consideration of this proposition is idle,
Tor the government is not going to pay
the bonus that way.

enabled Great Britain to build up the
greatest empire that has so far existed
in the world. ~ .sE
> It was not the German army but the
German merchant marine that develop
ed Germany into the greatest manu-
featuring and commercial nation Of
modern times. It was that merchant
marine that made her such a formid-
able aspirant to world conquest in the
late war, because ii was through her
merchant marine that she was able to
acquire the wealth and power through
which she so nearly brought all Eu-
rope under her subsection. And not
all the power Of America
had it not been for the British mer-
chant marine, Germany would have
been the winner, because otherwise
America would never have been able
to get there with her supplies or her
armies.
Little Japan has become a mighty
nation that is able to run rings around
our foreign commerce simply because
from the beginning she realized the
value of a great merchant marine and
has used the means with which to build
it up.
America spent millions, yes billions,
after the beginning Of the world war
in a desperate effort to build ships
upon which her very existence seemed
to depend, and would have depended
except for the alignment that threw
her in alliance with Great Britain and
the Circumstance that England hap
pened to be able to furnish the ships
that she should have been able to
furnish herself.
Now we have hundreds Of ships lying
idle and we are unable to handle them
in competition with the foreigners be-
cause the foreigners have the adVant-
age in the way Of organized trade,
trained sailors and proper appreciation
Of the tremendous importance of the
ocean carrying trade.
American ships by the hundreds are
lying idle in numerous ports while
foreigners are manipulating the greater
part Of the world carrying trade in
cluding our own. And it is all because
we are sleeping over our rights and op-
portunities and quarreling with each
other over the wisdom and expediency
of doing what the foreigners are doing
in the way of giving our ships such aid
as will enable them to get their shape
Of the worlds trade.
1t is an indisputable fact that the
German merchant marine was built up
by subsidy until it was able to stand
alone. Great Britain has given tre-
mendous direct or indirect assistance
to her shipping wherever assistance
was needed and France has done the
same thing.
It would pay the United States to
carry her own goods and foreign goods
too, for that matter, free If there is no
other way for it, until she can get her
ocean carrying trade established and
by all means she should give such sub
sides as are necessary.
By not giving subsidies we are ieaV-
ing the foreigners to build themselves
up at our expense, and we are acting
like a lot of dumps, while Great
Britain, Germany, Japan and Italy are
1ouohipo at us for simpletOnS.

That script plan of paying the bonus
looks like a good way of teaching boil
shevism in this country. OF course the
average young solder will pay no at
tention to the matter now. He will
merely take what he gets and be glad
to get it; but in later years when lie
realizes how he was given a fixed sum
by his government by way of apprecia-
ton of service performed for his coun-
try, and more than half of that sum
was taken away from him in the form
of interest for the benefit Of people
who had performed no service, he will
wonder what it was all about anyway.
He will have a practical lesson in boil
shcvism that will be more impressive
and costly than anything he is likely
to get through bolshevist propaganda.
The people who stand for this scheme
of giving income to the money lenders
on pretense OF largess to the service
men are sowing to the whirlwind.

The senate a few days ago amended
the general appropriations bill so as to
prohibit the teaching of Darwinism as
a cult in the public schools. 1t is not
intended to prohibit the telling Of what
Darwinism is; but to prohibit any
teaching that gives sanction to his
theories of evolution. This is all right
and proper. OF course the legislature is
not going to try to prevent any indi-
yidual from studying evolution as much
as he wants to; but no teacher should
be permitted to try to teach it in the
public schools. AS has been said by a
profound philosopher of a hundred
years ago: "a little philosophy inclineth
mems minds 10 atheism; but a depth in
philosophy bringeth them around to a
knowledge of the true Cod There is
nothing particularly wrong with the
study of evolution; but the man who
tries to teach it to anybody, especially
children, is treading on dangerous
ground.

In support Of his bonus bill the other
day, Chairman Fordney said that if the
Germans had won the war the tax
would be twenty times more than the
bonus. That has been said many times,
and no doubt it is true; but there is
very little appeal in that to the man
who made heavy profits during the war
and who wants to hold on to those
profits.

1t is said in Washington unoffcially
that the president will veto the insur-

shall be passed by the house and~sen-
ate. The, president stands for sales

a bill that will provide for the raising
of the bonus money in that way.
Though bad enough, the sales-tax plan
will be of more advantage to the SER

- Here, ladies, you might want to
vote in the coming municipal election
and you might not. Just now, perhaps,
you see no reason why you should want
to vote. Things may be going accord
ing to your notion and you might be
feeling that it will be all right to let
them remain as they are. But just re-
member this: There is going to be
wonderful change in the political at
mosphere during the next few months.
People who now think that things are
put" will begin to appreciate that they
are not so certain about that. We are
going to hear all about what the other
fellow did do, or didn't do and what
should be done. We are going TO hear
some things that will rile us more or
less and stir us to partisanship one
way or the other. We are going to see
the time when we will want to vote.
But to vote you must be regularly pre-
pared. You must have state regis
tration certificate and you must have
municipal registration certificate.
You cannot get municipal registra-
ton certificate unless you have a state
registration certificate. You are going
to have only two more days on which
you can get state registration certifi-
Gates. These are the first Monday in
April and the first Monday in May. If
you have a state registration, certificate
you can get your municipal registra-
ton certificate any day you apply for
it. All you will have to do will be to

show your state registration certificate
and receipts showing that you have
paid all past due taxes.

as-replying Saturday to the written
suggestion by Democratic members OF
the Shipping Board to Democratic
committeeman that they withhold
Judgment on ship subsidy legislation
until after hearings, announced that
they respectfully refused to be bound

. The letter sent by DR.. Chamberlain,
Mr.. Thompson and Rear Admiral Ben

stated that the board had unanimous
ly recommended direct and indirect
aic. to American shipping, as proposed
in the bill prepared by the board and
introduced Immediately after Presi-

Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Hardy conceded

Having as he believes successfully
lined up the Republican members of

ter added, Chairman LaSker has ap-
parently assigned to you gentlemen
the task of lining up Democrats on
the committees. However, you may
tell Chairman Lasker that we are not

respectfully refuse to be bound and

advocates of this iniquitous slip sub

your receptive propaganda and lull the
people and congress to sleep while you

Mr. Davis and Mr.. Hardy contended
there is less excuse for ship subsidies
now than ever before by reason Of the
fact that our immense government
owned fleet can be purchased by prl-
vate operators at considerably less
than world market prices"
yet the bill you now propose" they
said, would take more. than fifty mil
lion dollars year out of the pockets
of taxpayers and put it in the pockets
of a few private ship lines, after
amending the present law so that the
government ships may be sold to them
at ridiculously low prices"
