A Sign From the South.

From the Los Angeles Times.
Mississippi. q typical representative
State of the solid South, has by q
large majority declared its adherence
to the dry cause. 1t has decisively
defeated a proposal to repeal the
States quarter-century- prohibi-
tion laws. The State vote auto
matically nullifiies the sale of beer,
which had been carried Oh since the
ratification by the Nation of the
tWenty-first amendment ia some Of
the counties.
Temperance advocates have reason
TO be pleased with this test of the
continuance OF dry sentiment in
States that were opposed to legalized
liquor IN pre-prohibition days. Mis-
siSsippi was one Of the States which
called no convention To vote on the
repeal amendment. It is now evi-
dent that It is as strong as ever in
its anti-liquor stand.
1t may quite reasonably be in
ferred from this showing that other
dry States in the South are still op-
posed TO the liquor trafic even those
which under the spell OF Demo-
cratic President-such as Alabama,
Arkansas and TenneSsee-helped to

Americans Assail German
Evasion of Bond Payments

American editors echo the rebuke
given by Secretary Of State Hull TO
Germany for proposing to make pay
ments on bonds of the Dawes and
Young plans held by American in
yestors dependent on trade conces-
sions. 1t is recognized. however, that
the Germans favorable action toward
British holders was Influenced by the
British trade balance.
by law American holders Of Dawes
loan and Young plan bonds are en-
titled to equal treatment with Brit
ish holders" says the Wall Street
Journal, '"but on balance the United
Kingdom is q market for German
goods, whereas the United States is
not. And necessity knows no law"
The New York World Telegram also
sees significance In the fact that "our
trade balances are In Berlin, and thus
we have no big stick. as Britain has.
to force Germany to honor her debts.
Secretary Hull's rejection Of Ger
many's tentative offers Of payment In
return for trade concessions, accord
ing 10 the Los Angeles Times lis
eminently correct, and the only thing
to do under the circumstances. The
United States Government is not d.
rectly concerned with whether Amer
lean holders OF German bonds get
their money or not. Purchasers
bought on their own risk, with no
guarantee expressed or implied on the
part Of this Government. But 1t IL
concerned when American citizens
are Disseminated against and should
and must take energetic measures
to remove the discrimination. On
the other hand, 1t should not puF-
chase the removal by special conces-
sions favoring German businesses
above those of other countries"
THE United States feels there can
be no Justification for Germany's dif-
ferentiation between her creditors In
different countries" declares the
Nashville Banner, while the Salt
Lake Deseret News observes that mfr.
Hull speaks decisively when the debtor

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES z. TRACEEELL.

Soms Of the precepts Of modern

in the world by offering ready ex-
cslsses to minds willing TO distort
them
An example is the persecution
complex" or mania, so-called which
has to do with something which may
or msy not have real elements In it.
The mass OF the people have been
only too willing 10 accept the latter
idea. thus creating q wholly new con-
cept. that any one daring To speak
of personal persecution Is suffering
from q disease

ture of brain work in considering
the wrongs Of other human beings.

In many such instances there is

there are other and less complimentary
words and phrases. well known in

"Grouching" Is another word for
il. The man who "grouches," or
"gripes," Is threatening TO disturb

If one listens to the complaint. one
thereby admits that something or

Now there are many situations in

Should an actor wish TO peep through

"ASides" are spoken to the audience
