REPUBLICAN, PROSPERITY;
DEMOCRATIC PROSPERITY

Contrasting the Republican adj
ministration with tn previous Demo-
cratic administration, Senator King,
Democrat, of Utah, said:
Business men are discouraged
and will not incur the hazards fol-
lowing extensive borrowing for i'm
provements and development. Men
having money to loan are afraid to
invest in corporate securities or
stocks in industrial plants. The Re-
publican party has thrown the en-
tire country into a panic, and those
who have money for investment com
pete for securities which are tax
exempt. This has brought munich
pal and state and national bonds to
high levels.
"Instead of there being competi-
ton for business investments, there
is competition for only tax-exempt
securities and for jobs by the hun
CRY and starving wOrklngman. III
the Republican party is to be credit
ed with the rise in Liberty bonds, it
must be credited with the fall in ag-
ricultural lands and products.
''When the Democrats were in
control of the executive and legisla-
tive branches Of the government cat
tie and sheep and all kinds of agri-
cultural products possessed value,
and their production and sale
brought prosperity to the farmer and
to the livestock men. The manufac-
turers, and, indeed, all classes, have
seen their prosperity vanish, the Ia
borer has sen his. scale reduced, the
owners of Industrial stocks have
seen them in many instances wiped
out. hese conditions have occurred
under the present administration.
ut is time for the appraisement
of Republican rule. The people are
awakening, thew erdict will be
against the party in power"

P0SEY UNDER 18TH AMEND
MENT

1t was a nice day in October,
Last September in July,
The moon lay thick upon the ground,
The mud shone in the sky.
The flowers we're singing sweetly,
The birds were full of bloom,
So / went into the cellar,
To sweep an upstairs room.
The time was Tuesday morning,
On Wednesday, just at night,
/ saw a thousand miles away,
A house just out of sight.
The walls projected backwards,
The front was round the back.
1t was moonlight on the ocean,
Not street car was in sight,
The sun was shining brightly,
And it rained all day that night.
1t was summer in the winter,
= And the rain was falling fast
A barefoot boy with shoes on,
Stood sitting in the grass.
1t was evening and the rising sun,
Stood setting in the night.
And everything that / could see.
Was hidden from my sight.

Sheriff III. L. Roberts and his chief
reputy, G. U. Valid, raided the
Three Lick section Of the county on
Saturday night and captured a so
gallon moonshine still, destroyed $50
gallons of mash and five gallons Of
moonshine whisky. They arrested
the operator, young man named
Caldwell, and landed him in jail.
Very much to the regret Of at
least 80 per cent of our population,
A. w. Fraley resigned the position
Of night policeman. His resignation
was brought about by a bunch of lit
tie fellows who hate him as the dew
il hates holy water. They petitioned
the council, setting up that Mr.. Fra
ley did not live within the town
limits, and Mr.. Fraley being advised
by some lawyer friends that the law
was against him on this account,
promptly resigned, leaving the boo
zers and bootleggers to enjoy their
nightly revels without hindrance.
Taking advantage of Mr.. Fraley's
absence from the street, we are told
that there were a dozen or so DRINKS
Saturday night.
Mrs. Nelson Caudill, prominent
woman of the town, sister of At

night at IL 80, leaving a husband
and three children-Roy Caudill, of

and Mrs. Bernice Cottle, of West
Virginia. Mrs. Caudill was a most
excellent woman and her passing is
mourned by host Of relatives and
friends. The body will be buried in
the Caudill graveyard at Brady on
Tuesday. On the same night at s 80
the wife of her brother William, died
at her home in Oklahoma.

PREPARING FOR RETIREMENT.

Authorities on business conditions
claim that an accurate barometer OF
industrial affairs can be found in the
large insurance companies. The man
agement Of our leading insurance
concerns keep a close watch, and
check on financial conditions, and
when they prepare for big business
in their line, the rest of the country
may look for a general increase in
all industry.
If this be true, the following re-
port of Pres. Burton, of one of oul
largest Southern companies, should
be good news to every merchant in
Louisiana:
Mr.. Burton says that the Life anc
Casualty Insurance Co., Of Tennes-
see predicts a gain Of twenty-five
million in business during 1922.
1--WE base this prediction" said
President Burton, ION the pledges Of
1900 field men, and the past history
of the Company"
This company does great deal OF
business in the South, and this
breath of optimism is welcomed by
those who have suffered from bust
ness depression.

crease in capital stock this yea,
from $3.50, 900. 90 to $500, 100000, ant

SYSTEM is ALL WRONG

The great difficulty that stands IN
the way of discussing Uncle Sam as
an employer is that there is no such
person. The men who stand In the
relation Of employer to their subordl-
mates are nothing but employees them
selves, and temporary ones at that,
with a very f1eeting tenure OF once.
Cabinet officers and members OF con-
gress, to whom the rank and f1le or
employees look for guidance for
solution of their problems, are simply
fleeing figures that come and 60, with
their own interests to- serve. They
testify freely enough as to conditions
Of government employment. Senator
Carter Glass, recently secretary of the
treasury, for example:
"The largely multiplied business OF
the government cannot be conducted
with efficiency and economy unless
there be attracted to and retained in
the public service group of highly
trained, well-paid and permanent OIL
Gals OF supervisory grades. Uncer-
tainty Of tenure in some instances and
inadequacy Of compensation have
closed the public service to many men
of the best type or forced them out of
government employ at the moment OF
their greatest usefulness.
"The war has increased the public
debt more than twenty-five fold and
has augmented the functions and &C.
tivities of the government In many
ways. The duties are greater and the
responsibilities are larger than those
Of other days, to the standards Of
which 1t Is not to be expected that
the government will ever return. The
conditions are such that failure to take
the necessary action to invite and
hold in the public service men of ex-
ceptional ability and of real distinc-
ton In their fields can result only in
grave burdens to the taxpayers Of the
country and In possible disaster.
ALREADY the transaction Of the
business of the government is ham,
pered by deficiencies of personnel due
to the return to private life of many
men Of large capacity who during the
period Of active warfare were willing
and glad to serve their country at
great personal sacrifice. have come
to learn that there are heroes in the
civil establishments as well as in the
military services, self-sacrificing pa
triots who toll year in and year out for
a bare pittance when they could COM
mand salaries double or treble the
amounts they receive from the govern
ment, but who, for the love of their
country and for the love Of their
work, have rejected alluring offers In
the field of private enterprise. They
were too fine and too patriotic to leave
their posts.

EVERYBODY HAS A KICK.

Would YOU like a barrel of fun
and at the same time learn some
thing of the inconsistency of human
nature?
The circus is free.
All you have to do is to watch the
antics of the various interests" as
congress wrestles with the problem
OF providing the funds necessary Tor
the financing of the proposed soldier
bonus.
Everybody has kick, and the
burden of his wall is soak the other
fellow"
The poor man thinks the rich man
should bear the burden, while the
rich man is not averse to having the
poor devil hit often and hard.
The manufacturer is opposed to
| having the burden saddled onto him
and the retailer can't see where ne
should pay.
The farmer has already been hit
SO hard he thinks another whack
would be too great an honor for him
to even consider.
Transportation companies can't see
| it at all, while automobile owners
claim they have been taxed for ev-
erything except the bonus, and that
this latest distinction belongs t.
somebody else.
The laboring man objects to being
the goat, while the gilded gentleman
Of leisure has an inherent aversion
to anything that would interfere with
the pleasures of life.
The ordinary consumer has beer
squeezed already until he could craw
through a clothes wringer without
touching the rollers, and he can't see
how he could cough up something HI
doesn't possess.
Then the secretary of the treasury
is opposed to the bonus entirely, but
that is probably because he is not 8
candidate for office or has acquired g
digniied crouch.
Every way you turn its royal side
step, with everybody stepping in per
| feet unison.
Somebody has to pay the bill, but
nobody wants to be somebody.
And still the possibilities have MOI
| been entirely exhausted.
We might tax the new babies, be-
! cause they are not yet born and can I
| register a kick.

STUDY THESE FIGURES.

If the average Iberia man were
told that railroad crossing accidents
took the lives of 1000 people and
caused property damage of $4,5O0,OCo
in one year he probably would shrug
his shoulders and say "it serves 'em
right"
For the average man does not see
the personal side of the warning. He
sees carelessness in others, but fails
to see it in himself. Nevertheless,
the same figures show that one mot
orist out of every three is careless
at railroad crossings, approaching
them in haste and not looking for
trains.
On the line of the Southern Paci-
fic last year 1909 motor cars and
trucks were wrecked at crossings. In
400 cases motorist ran into trains,
and in 1872 cases machines plunged
through crossing gates. In the 97O
cases in which drivers ran into
trains 1876 people were killed AMI
405 injured.
The note of warning in this re-
port should be taken seriously by
you, Mr.. Reader. The other fellow
always is reckless, in your opinion,
and when you have an accident you
are the reckless chap to the other
fellow. The railroad grade crossing
is a death trap. 1t should be regard
ed as such and approached carefully,
watchfully and with lots Of caution.
1t may take a moment longer to
make safe trip across, but this
moment lost may mean the saving
of life and property. The chap who
rushes across occasionally reaches a
distinction he had no intention of
seeking when he started out. "Make
haste slowly" is mighty good plan
when you are driving an auto near
railroad crossing.
