TWO SIDES TO TRADING
AT HOME
(Quitman Free Press.)

(Quitman Free Press.)
There are two sides to the trading
at-home proposition.
The Free Press has been very ener-
getic and enthusiastic in urging the
people of Quitman 10 patronize home
merchants. The Free Press believes
in the principle of trading at home.
But it should never be overlooked
that the merchants owe the trading
public duty to make it possible
and profitable to buy in local stores.
When a loyal trader makes TIE tour
of the town and fails to find the ar
ticles which are usually carried in
trading centers, it requires more
than patriotism to substitute some
thing not desired or be denied entire
ly.
1t is always in order for the mer-
chant to sidestep by answering that
certain articles have SO long been
bought at distance that it has be-
come Improbable to carry this line
locally; but that is not meeting the
customer fifty-fifty.
Some traders have informed the
Free Press that they would always
trade at home if they could find what
was desired; some merchants have
said that they would always have
these articles in stock if there were
any sale for them.
1t seems the trader and merchant
should get together on a better UNI
and that there should be
more cooperation on both sides of
the counter. 1t issmore than like
ly, fNwever, that if everybody would
trade It home, the local merchants
would increase their stocks and their
lines to meet the demand.

TEACHING BOYS, NOT
BOOKS
Savannah Morning News)

A veteran teacher-who has relin-
quished the task of actual teaching
for another calling late IN life-said
the other day in Savannah: "After l
had been teaching for some time |
changed my method, the technique of
the profession, the entire spirit back
of my work: l quit teaching books,
and devoted myself to teaching boys"
The remark is an epigram full of wis
dom for parents and teachers and
leaders of young life and especially
appropriate to reflect upon in the
approach to Education week. he wax
speaking of his long service as a
teacher. He had taught Latin and
Greek to boys for thirty years. He
declared that he taught Vergil, for
example, for all that time and found
every year a greater interest, this
ever-new glow of enthusiasm. And
from that self-discovery came his
new method of teaching. 81 teach
boys, not books"

PROHIBITIONS ADVANCE
mobile ReRister)

The true measure of prohibition
enforcement is the comparison of the
situation today with that of the sue
cessive years since its beginning.
Has enforcement gone forward, or
backward, or has it stood still? If it
has gone backward, it has been a
failure. If it has stood still, it has
not been a success. If it has pro-
crossed, it has been a success to the
extent of its progress.
Judged my items of personal OBJ
Servation and of current conversa-
tions, some may be led to the con-
clusion that prohibition has at least
made no advance. Such authority,
owever, is neither accurate nor re-
able. Only the official records ard
cures can be a reliable guide as to
rohibition's status. A contributory
.Suide of some value also would be
the official attitude towards en-
forcement. The official attitude has
grewn steadily more strict as the
increasing number of arrests and
seizures attests, as well as the con-
tinually increasing expression of of
fetal resolution to bring offenders
to trial and punishment.
Figures given out at Washington
and other centers of official activi-
" show that the consumption of PRO
hibited beverages is annually dccreas-
ing. The figures also show that the
amount of distilled or brewed drinks
is increasing as the amount of dis
titled or brewed drinks decreases,
though not to compensating
amount. This condition in itself
shows that the leaks are being plug
ged, for synthetic liquor is a final
resort. 1t is not in demand in COM

A BLOT ON THE NATION
(Athens Banner1

The refusal of the Navy Depart
ment to pay the funeral expenses of
the men who lost their lives on the
i'll fated Shenandoah, stands out
prominently as reflection on our
government and one for which there
lis little, if, any excuse. 1t has been
stated by the officials that the Navy
Department was not supplied with
funds for the purpose OF defraying
funeral expenses of its men. If this
be true, Congress should at the ap-
preaching session, provide ways and
means and authorization for the Navy
Department to meet such emergen-
cies.
The New York Sun IN comm enting
on the occurrence, takes occasion to
make the following editorial criticism
of the action of the officials of the
Navy Department:
"The Navy Department had funds
with which to build the Shenandoah,
even after millions had been burned
up in the R-34 and the Roma.
"The Navy Department had funds
with which to send the Shenandoah
westward on a circus sturt trip for
the benefit of home state fairs.
"But when Lansdowne and his

MINDS HIS OWN BUSINESS

IF every fellow would attend to his
own business as well as the farmer
dog does when he cones to town it
would be a better town in which to
live" No doubt you have observ-
ed that the farmers dog attends
strictly to his own business when he
comes to town. In the old days when
he trotted along under the wagon
from home to town and back, he US
ually remained under the wagon
while it was in town, unless some
city dog molested him, which almost
always happened. 1t is a splendid

All of the income tax is paid by
small part of the people, none of
them poor, ana most of it is paid by
those of liberal means. 1t is, more
over, the ony tax most of which is
not shifted to others.
And it is tax which costs the
people, above the proceeds available
for government uses, only the bare
cost of collection.
A man with fifty thousand income
pays 800 times as much income tax
as the man with five thousand. He
could not possibly consume three
hundred, or ten times as much mild
booze. And both of them on what
they did consume, would pay out sew
eral dollars for every dollars the
government got.
No beverage would produce that
result if it were really "mild." Peo-
