WHITE PALLBEARERS
AT NEGRO FUNERAL.

The other day down at Moul-
trie a faithful negro Of that
town passed to his reward, hav-
ing served for long ne as sex
ton of the white Presbyterian
church Of that city Of which he
was a member. The whole town
paid tribute to honest Nose Har-
rington as he was carried to his
last resting place in the ceme-
terry, some of the foremost BUSH
ness men of Moultrie acting as
pallbearers with white minis
ter in charge of the obsequies.
The Moultrie Observer, from
which paper we get this story,
goes on to say that there were
manyl floral offerings-large
numbers of white people who
had known Harrington, sending
flowers. The mayor and mem
bers Of the city council acted
as honorary escort, white folks
from all walks of life attend
ing the funeral services.
This is not an unusual in
cident-in the South-but it
only goes to show how the south
mn people regard the faithful
negro. Such an incident would
be impossible in any city Of the
north where many are now
flocking, only in time to be dis
satisfied with the rigors of that
bleak climate in the winter time,
There are many Nose Har-
ringtons living in the south who
have so comported themselves as
to win the admiration of the
white folks among whom they
move. To such the south bids
them stay and are assisting
many to build comfortable
homes and earn competence
for themselves in a land where
they are appreciated as was

Andy carried the mail to

was bringing the casket for the
burial and also had a lady passen-

modate her exepet the top of the

GROWTH OF GOVERNMENT
OUR LEADING INDUSTRY.

The growth of population, in
dustry and wealth in the United
States are subjects frequently
paraded, but we have overlook
ed the real phenomenon, which
is the growth. of government.
Americans are perhaps the most
governed people in the world
says tre Yakima, Washington,
Daily Republic.
Nation, state, county and city
all bestow a share and take a
share of tribute.
And government makes bust
ness for itself. Whenever we see
it, we see it growing, expand
ing, reproducing itself. When,
ever a seed of it falls, in soil
however barren. It shoots up
and flowers, a full blown plant
almost overnight.
Millions of Americans live
on government; derive their
support from the organizations
society has formed to collect
and spend the public revenues,
to make and enforce laws and
to administer the common af-
fairs.
Government, then is a lead
ing American industry, a con-
temporary concludes. No other
industry receives and spends a
revenue, employees such num-
bers or contributes so little to
the national wealth.
Probably America will have
! to find a way sometime to
check the growth of government
or it will monopolize the soil
and choke ALL other growths.
The wealth-producing industrie,
cannot keep pace with it. Sena.
tor Smoot has said that if con.
| gress sets up a new government
bureau with three officials anc
| $4,000, it will, within a very
short time, grow to 20 times
that size and require a million
dollars.
To have more government
than we need is just as wastefh
as to prepare more food for din
ner than we can eat.

evil man out of the evil treas

that which is evil; for of the

REED SEES TREND

missouri Senator Regards
Drift to Capitalization
"StartIing and Dangerous"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, December 1.-The drift
toward Capitalization is the most
startling and dangerous development
or the hour. Senator James A. Reed
of Missouri declared last night be-
rore the annual meeting of the ILL.,
nois Bar Association.
The tidal wave toward centrali-
1atlon has now swept on past Wash
ington,' Senator Reed declared, "vnd
the demand is for world courts and
world tribunals to regulate the affairs
OF all creation"
Men proposing sucn courts and will
ing TO repose the power hey must
nave II they are to be effective, Sen
ator Reed declared, ''are poor repre-
sentatives of that patriotism which
Abraham Lincoln taught"
IL was undoubtedly the purpose of
the trainers of the Constitution that
the states should remain complete
sovereignties. save as TO those par
ticular powers expressly delegated 10

Offensive to Civilization.
"Dockets of our federal courts now
are crowded with cases hitherto cog
nizable by state courts he said.

right of espionage and arrest repuE-
nant 10 the genius of our gONernmt r I,
ana offensive to our civilization.
Regulation of transportation en-
rely within the respective states has
Seen TO all intents and purposes taken
over by federal tribunals.
There is scarcely any activity in
nfe. from the rearing of babies to the
rassing of armies. which is not now
subject to the surveillance and juris-
diction of government officers, agents,
spies and courts.
Thousands of millions of dollars
have been, under tariff laws. taken
from the pockets Of the American
people in strict conformity with the
intent and purpose OF Congress, but
in utter disregard of the fact that no
power was ever intended to be grant
ed to Congress to tax one part of the
american people for the support of
another part OF the people"
Sees Cause of Discomfort.
Chief Justice William NJ. Farmer of
the Illinois supreme court in an ad-
dress declared that the fact that
abuses that many complain of in our
government is no argument in favor
of changing the form of government.
but of changing the men selected to
administer its affairs.
Justice Farmer blamed the political
partiSanship of men elected IN Office
in part for the cOuntryS discomfort.
In this, he declared, he saw little diff
ference in party, adding that both
seem to be more interested about the
effect proposed policies or legislation
will have the result of the next
election than whether they will favor
ably affect the public welfare"
