Amerlt'ii'M Deadly Menace.
The part of wisdom In the Individ
ual is to keep him house in order
lest at an hour when he may not be
on the alert some dire calamity may
befall him. There used to be a trite
saying "Constant vigilance is tbe
price of safety" and in lute yeurs a
favorite slogan is "Safety First."
A rule that is good for tbe indi
vidual may also be good for the com
munity the state or the nation. It
has always been the policy of tbe
United States to throw open her
ports to all persons who might desire
to come to America to seek liberty
happiness and fortune. No ban Is
placed on the thoughts words or
ctlori of any. They were guaran-
teed freedom of thought action
creed and conscience. America has
ben the asylum for the world. Any
people oppressed by tyrant or en-
thralled by poverty might find pro-
tection and opportunity in "the land
of the free! and the borne of the
firave."
The American policy in our earlier
history served to bring to our chores
many honest worthy sturdy people.
They came from England France
Germany Poland Norway Irelund
and other countries of Europe. They
settled homes built towns erected
schools colleges and sanctuaries.
They have established and operated
factories and railroads and steam-
ship lines. They have contributed
of brain brawn and money to es-
tablish a common country where all
nationalities might enjoy peace and
prosperity. These early peoples be-
lieved in God and righteousness and
there has been less of distress crime
grief and woe thun in any of the
countries of the old world.
But now. hew !o:ir may we hope
for these blessings to continue If th
institutions of this country nre to
fall to the level of the ungodly and

A news Item sent out from New
York on Aug. 5 says:
"Continuance of the tendency to
ward increase in the country's busi
ness mortality is reflected in last
month's Insolvency statistics which
disclose the largest number of busi
ness failures of any month since No
vember. 1918 and the heaviest
indebtedness excepting that of June
this year of all back to January
1916."
This is a natural result of frenzied
living. People have been going u
blind In buying and trading in reck-
less disregard of the certainty of a
pay day. A common laborer has
been receiving unprecedented wages
business deals have been made In
fabulously big figures. Everything
bought and sold has been going at
unreasonable prices. The crash had
to come on somebody and the last
man to load up has to hear the brunt.
The fel!ow who could get from under
before the drop fell will congratulate
himself on his good fortune. The
cautious man who has seen war-time
Inflation and the inevitable collapse
and has kept his bont close up to the
pier is in good condition to face the
future. Failures are due to over
reaching.

hv? A chain is no sirnnt'-r than
its weakest link. Things that ap-
riiial to the same thing lire eipial to
each other. A little leaven leave l-
eth the who'e lump. Mr. Bailey
has been antagonistic to the Wilson
administration he is not in harmony
with the Wilson war policies the
parcels post the federal loan sys-
tem the Pan Francisco platform U
not at all to his notion and Mr.
Ilailey boasts that he never changes.
Now It stands to reason that the
man who votes for Bailey votes for
the things Ilailey stands for.
Frankfort is a small mining town
in Illinois i.nd Italians are there in
great numbers as coal miners. Re-
cent ly there was a robbery commit-
ted and then two boys who knew
abott the robb' rs were murdered.
The 'Incur people charged Ita'ians
with these chimes and a mob riot
was started. Several people were
killed and many injured. Late re-
ports say the Italians have been run
out of the town.
The Cotton Market.
The present status of tho cotton
market Is to he deplored hut what
Is more dep'orablo is the fact that
one-tlfth and perhaps more of the
entire last season's cotton produc-
tion in this county is still on hand
unsold. In other words about one-
half million dollars of last year's
crop Is out of circulation which cost
morn In ratio to get ready for the
market than the early gathered
stuff. The tall end of the cotton
season found the cotton farmer In
early spning; he had remnants of
last season's stock on hand. From
long experience the merchant has
found It profitable to clean up by
quick ruVs and to take a loss if
necessary rather than to take
chances of coming out next season
especially If some of his goods were
shoddy. Falae prophets advocated
the holding of the low grades and
last of the crop with the result that
todny Scurry county farmers are
holding the. bag. It is to be re-
gretted that during this time of
tight money our farmers should be
paying interest on last year's assets.

llretiham Texas. Farmers and
business men of Washington county
alarmed at tho exodus of laborers
from the county recently met and
adopted resolutions declarlm; they
would regard It as an "unfriendly
act" on the part of employers living
outside the county to Induce men to
Viive this county.
The resolutions declare that Wash
ington county need a ull its young
men in harvesting Its own crops that
it will furnish employment to all at
remunerative prlceB and that any at-
tempt to induce laborers to leuve the
county will be regurded as "unpa-
triotic and showing a spirit of hos-
tility toward this county." A commit-
tee was appointed lo assist In con-
serving the man power of the county.
SHORT ORDERS
Place Credit Where It Belongs.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram in
reporting a speech made In Fort
Worth by W. H. Slay nays:
"Sluy denounced attacks on Bal'-
ey's1 war record and pointed to the
fact that he sent two boys to the
army.
That was certainly a worthy con
tribution butl the honor belongs to
the two boys. They were 21 years
old and accountable for their own
actions. It Is to their credit tnat
they had the patriotism to defend
the flag while their father was hold
ing to the doctrine that this country
should stay out of the conflict.
"Another means of silently lessen
ing the Inequality of property Is to
exempt all from taxation below a
certain point ar 1 to tax the higher
portion of pro;i riy in geometrical
progression as they rise. Whenever
there is In nny country uncu'tivated
ands and unemployed poor it is
clear that the laws of property have
been so far extended as to violate
natural right. It Is none too soon
to provide by every possible means
that as few as possible shall be with-
out a little portion of land. The
small landholders are the most pre-
ious part of the state." Thomas
Jefferson.
Suppose your Liberty Bond should
be worth less tbau par you liave
done well to let your government
have the money to heNp win the war.
If Germany had triumphed . your
bond might have been worthless be-
cause Germany would have domina-
ted this nation hut now be assured
that the power of the United States
is behind your bond and your bond
will be worth all It calls for and tbe
Interest. American patriotism saved
it even though there are Americans
who opposed the war against Ger
many.
