1t is long, long way to Tipperary
and far cry from Debs to DR.. Cut
ten. Debs breaks out in Chicago and
DR. Gluten in New York. Everybody
knows who Debs is. DR.. Gluten is
president of Colgate University and
has string of degrees.
Debs says: II opposed the war and
still oppose war. l would not go to
war at the command of any capitalist
country on the face of the earth.
would have saved the lives of the
sixty thousand American boys who
persisted on the battlefields of France
to create 10000 new millionaires in
this country"
Dr. Cutten says: ''If the war had
been fought to make the world safe
for democracy, the success of that
purpose would have been itself a
CHASTITY failure Fortunately, no one
thought it was fought for that pur-
pose except those who were unfit to
be part of Democracy"
DR.. Gluten says that democracy is
a delusion and that one-ffth of the
voting population of the United
States is not mentally capable of
knowing how to vote. The only in
telligent government possible, says
DR.. Gluten, is autocracy.
Proceeding says DR.. Cutten: "The
widespread delusioh that democracy
is possible Except for small groupsy
arises from the notion that man
hood suffrage constitutes self-gov-
eminent Merely to have the priv
ilege of voting does not mean self |
government. In large populations it
becomes at best the privilege of del
egating authority to others, and in
the United States it becomes, in emer
gencies, the authorization of autocra
ey. AS matter of fact the only pur-
pose of elections, nowadays, is to cap
ture the mob vote"
The idea proposed by DR.. Cutten
that suffrage should be determined
by mental test is strictly in line
with his argument that all men said
to be born equal politically is a
failacy. He says that everyone knows
they are not born equal mentally.
Therefore manhood suffrage should
be by mental test.

Edison himself, by the way, is one
of the greatest Navy Training School
boosters in the country. He declared
in recent Navy Day address; 1.-THE
system by which men are trained in
the United States Navy IS more sue
cessful than the American University
system"
Killinger, agrees that Edison is
right. He, Killinger, now has a
trade. 1t has cost him yerylittle. He
has saved money besides and will
soon be retired
Mr.. Killinger will be in Dyersburg,
Tenn, Dec. s, 1922. He will be glad
to explain while there on his short
visit anything that is not understood
about the new Navy policy. He is an
authority on the 5-5-3 pact, the
three power treaty.
He is one of the hundreds of men
who are going about the country en-
deavoring to bring the various peo-
pie in sections where Recruiting Sta
lions have not been placed in close
touch with the Great American Uni
versity-the good old U. S. Navy.

Spirit of Industry.

Like water seeking its level we see
a good omen in the division of man
ufacture into branch plants distrib-
utcd all over the country in the
smaller towns or eenters of popula-
ton. Even tho these branches cost
the various localities something IN
the way Of a bonus the benefits ac-
cruing from the industry are not by
any means lost to these localities. A
considerable amount of cash goes
from one pocket to another, but in
the main it remains to be invested in
the plant and in the community by
the natural processes to be paid out
in wages, and, like bread cast upon
the waters, it returns to those who
gave it maybe with liberal interest
many times over.
But the most encouraging feature
of the movement is revival of activ-
ity, a return of prosperity, a renewal
of interest in local affairs and a gen
eral awakening Of dormant spirits.
For years industry has been NOV
ing to the big cities and centors OF
population, absorbed by capital and
monopoly. Institutions thus formed
have been known in many cases as
trusts, and these corporations have
controlled to the exclusion and dis
advantage of those localities which
have been deserted either by capital
or labor.
We expected some day probably to
see home-brand manufacture-that
is a springing up of local industry
with local capital. Maybe that is not
to be, but in the absence of these
things we can not really object to
the advent of corporation capital as
a contribution to local industry.
Maybe corporation investment is able
to give us greater interests, more
permanency and better results in a
general way.
The thing we have found so troub-
lesome and disheartening is, perhaps,
about to be overcome, but not in the
way we were looking for it. If only
the good work goes on and the big
establishments continue to pursue II
policy of parcelling and reach
ing out for now and unoccupied ter
ritory. Capital itself will find it's own
level wherever it goes. 1t may be
to endowments for Amer
lean colleges; it may find expression
in foundations of different kinds; it
may go to Europe to be traded for
titles, or wasted on courtesans.
Wherever it goes there is still q |
chance in this country for the Amer !
lean youth with the ambition to
achieve; and we hail the day when
the spirit of industry is heading our
way.

Navy Training.

With the passage of the recent
treaty between the United States
Great Britain and Japan, the three
naval powers have begun race to
increase the efficiency of the smaller
navies.
From the present time, or rather
from the time that the treaty was
! passed, our Government has started a
campaign to bring their Naval Train
ing Schools to a point where they
could well be called the best in the
world England and Japan have
taken similar action.
Even before the passage of the
pact, the Naval training departments
were considered good, but hardly bet
ter than her two close competitors
Congress has allowed this year a
smaller amount of money for the en-
largement of the schools. Conse-
quently, the Navy Department has
issued orders that only men of the
very highest type of intelligence be
allowed privileges of enlistment.
Instead of charging the number
of students on a smaller appropria-
ton, the policy will, in the future,
be to limit the schools to the training
of only clean cut, partially educated
men.
Policy adopted previously in Ma
Wy Drive was to enlist the number of
men for which the Navy Department
asked their Recruiting Service-with
no respect as to the character of the
personnel of the men. Now it is
A man must be q MAN to
become sailor.
Seven different schools of the
United States Navy Department have
elt the reaction of the new orders.
A man with an ordinary amount
# Common Horse Sense" along
With a common school education,
nay now become a student in the fol-
owing Departments achinists, cleo
ricians, radio, coppercmiths, clerical,
musicians, and hospital corps.
Enlistments in these departments
will probably be open, according to
fficiaI announcements received at
he Memphis Station, for only few
1onths. The first demand of the Ma
y under the new orders is that a
nan be healthy both morally and
physically.
A. l.. Killinger, water tender, chief
'etty officer, a sailor of no mean abil
ty, tells a number of good yarns
bout his experiences on series of
ravels that include ports from San
francisco to New York-the long
way around. Killinger declares that
lie could not have done better than
lie has done had he taken college
instead of entering the
Navy.
Contrary to the general consensus
II opinion, it is fact that over SO
yer cent of the college graduates in
his country make less money than
he average citizen; taken from sta
istics compiled by a department OF
'homas A. Edison's training schools.

our democracy, but everyone knows
that the system which would make
| part of the family eligible to the bal
| lot and disfranchise the other part
would create no end of trouble. And
besides, Dr. Cutten has not counted
on the cratic genius who could pass
any sort of mental test and still not
be fit to vote intelligently. There
are numbers of smart men who are
not fit to determine the merit of po-
litical measures.
This idea of DR.. Cutten's is about
as full of inconsistencies es Debs' is
of hate and hell. They ale both
totally unsafe.
AS we have been saying in this
paper, we get very much out of
sorts and impatient with the way
our Administration and Congress car
ry on, but there is no place in this
country for either Debs or Gluten.
One is a Canadian monarchist ana
the other is a bomb throwing radical.
1t is stated that the appointment
of State Game Warden is to be
made soon to succeed the present in
cumbent, whose term of office expires.
The principal State reservation for
hunting and fishing in Tennessee
being Reelfoot Lake and the opera
tion of the fish and game laws being
principally on this lake, some of our
citizens have become impressed with
the fact that the home of the State
Game Warden should be in Obion
County and that an Obion County
citizen should have the appointment.
If that impression is to be regarded
by the Governor another suggestion
is that T. r. Reynolds, who is both
peculiarly fitted by nature and quail =.
ifications and thoroly familiar with
the lake, should be selected for this
position. Mr.. Reynolds is
a man of fine moral courage and
character and no doubt would make
a State Game Warden who would de-
mand and command a proper respect
for the fish and game laws of the
State. The Commercial thinks these
suggestions are all we'll taken. When
ever the appointment is made we are
convinced that such appointment
should come to Obion County and |
that Mr.. Reynolds would make one
of the best Wardens the State ever
had.

French Ambassador to the United
States, has sent a communication to
his government urging it to send a

ure of Americas demand that the
European allied nations make arrange
ments for the payment of the $10,-

HEAVY DAMAGE BY HAIL
AND WIND IN CHESTER

Chester, June 15.-Between 5 and
6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, ter
rife wind and hail storm swept the
northeastern and southeastern Sec
tion of Chester county in the Evans
section. Reports from there tonight
stated that had it not been for the
wind the hail would not have been so
ruinous. Until tomorrow the full
damage cannot be ascertained. How
ever, from tonight's reports much
damage has been wrought, it seems.
Reports state that the hail was heavy
in the Lewis and Smith sections;
north of Chester.

JUDGE ERNEST MOORE.

The passing of Judge Ernest Moore
our old preceptor, takes from the
bench of South Carolina one Of the
most learned of the circuit judges of
the state. Judge Moore succeeded to
the large practice of his father, who
was fine lawyer, and early became
a leader at the Lancaster Bar. He en-
joyed a large practice in his county
from the time he was admitted to the
bar until he became a circuit judge.
His ability was recognized at home,
where he was man of standing as
we'll, and over the state at large, as
was evidenced by his being often
called upon to preside as special
judge.
When Judge Gage was elected to
the Supreme Court, Judge Moore was
made the judge of the sixth circuit.
He carried to the bench his great
learning as q lawyer, his habits of in
dustry, and these with his unblem-
ished character, his judicial bearing,
his manly courage and gentlemanly
attitude towards the bar and the
public combined to make him one Of
the best of the circuit judges.

Cotton crop conditions in Laurens
county are rather spotty, but the
general condition may be summoned
up as backward because of the rain,
