Nobody has any right to disagree
with what tho editor Hay?. Every
body ought to think J?i?t like bo doea
about every thing. And anybody who
doesn't think exactly like the editor
(h<>s about every thing ought not
to bc allowed to have the editor's
paper. Tho editor ought to cut off
every subscriber who il*" . not think
Just Ihe does abpukj every thing.
Tho very Idea of anybody daring to
disagree with the editor. The ?-d?(or
know? it all. therefor?', nobody eise
knows tiny thing.
Perhaps, gentle reader, you arc
wondering ere this If we uri- not bead
ed for thc asylum. No, not exactly
that; we're merely trying to B?IOW
Hourn one risc- that he is headed that
way. <ir ought to be. In other words,
we arc arguing from thc standpoint
of th?* fellow who t'oits halting the
patter because he disagrees with the
c?IHor'.s vh'WS.
yesterday wo receivod a letter
from a subscriber notifying us to stop
his paper, ile told us In plain Eng
lish that wo dldftU have "any brain.-?
at all." untl he wasn't going to take
tin- paper any longer. He eit?>?j four
reasons why we didn't have any
brains, and here are his reasons: (1)
because we criticised William Jen
nings Bryan for resigning as secre
tary of state at the time he did; (2)
because wo defended Governor Slaton
in conunuting Frenk's sentence
(which wo didn't); (3) becuuso we
defended Governor Manning In offer
ing a reward for thc capturo of a
negro who slayed a w .te man in Ab
beville county and made his escape
out of tlic Siatc and didn't offer a re
ward for tho slayer of the venerable
Mr. Dodd when rewards aggregating
$1)00 were already up nnd before thu
authorities herc had been given u
chance to 'show wheUior they could
catch tho murderer; and (4) because
Senutor .Smith "promised IB cents for
cotton and at thc show down give us
C and 7 cents."
Now ?if those ure?vt four conclusive
n anons why thc editor hasn't any
brain? at alb, wo'll eat our shirt. We
could take thoso same four "proofs"
of idiocy and wc could prove to you
that 98 perceut of tho editors In tho
country and 95 percent of the intel
ligent thinking people - arc without
"any brains nt all."
But returning to our original
thought-you know there isn't room
for but ono thought at a time In an
editor's hoad-everybody ought to
think like tho editor does about every
thing. No ono lias a right to think
for himself. Because the subscriber
referred to doesn't agree with tit -J
editor, lie stops .bis paper. . And just
because this subscriber doesn't agree
with thc editor he cannot have tho
paper-unices, of course, ho recon
siders and tells-us to start lt again.
Newspapers aro beginning to print
resumen of "Year-old War News."
Lot's hope that, alongside of thc cur
rent dispatches weil never road "The
War Five Years Ago", or "Ten Years
Ago." lt has already lasted longer
than anybody thought so great a war
could last, and now nobody ventures
to prophesy tho end.
An American attache at Shnnghal,
reporting on business opportunities in
China, reminds his fellow-countrymen
that lhere are about 400 000,000. peo
ple over thero who might be taught
to chew gum. iSlnce thej garo up
opium, it aeems, they crave a subsl
tute tc steady their nerves. Ameri
can ci^arotes havo mado considerable
headway. Chewing gum would be less j
harmful and might bo welcomed. The
thought of 400,000.000 men, women
and children all busily shewing is
surely a glorious vision for our chicle
companlos. But whon you como to
think of lt, has anbody ever seen a
Chinaman -In this country succumbing
to the gum habit?
PRICKS AFTER TUE WAR.
Everybody 1s entitled to his own
opinion regarding tho econon:'.cs ot
the war. The professional econo
mists have already been proved wrong
in so many particulars that nobody
has any more confidence In them, and
they have litt e In ^themselves. An
utterance from Dr. Slater of Oxford
University, England, forecasting con
ditions after the war. i ,>y therefore
lack convincing power. Lot it ts in
teresting nevertheless. & ,
This expert declares that, contrary
to the usual opinion, the war will
probably be followed by no period of
poverty. At least, he says, "there
will be no necessity for poverty, and
sueh poverty as there is wilt be due
to misapplication of the productive
powers which will Lc available. It
will bo the poverty which comes from
wasted resources, and not from inad
equate resources."
Prices, boosted by the war, will
remain high. And "that means there
wilt be a permanent readjustment ot
our method*. There will have to be
u permanent rise in wagea, and other
permanent re-adjuHtmeuts, to meet
the higher prices."
Thc proper policy for the -trade
un lona, hr; Hays, lu to accept the war
bonuses and wage increases "not for
Ihe dur.ilion of the war, hut for the
duration of higher prices."
Thia look? reasonable. Pri?e?-ln
. bidna' tho price of labor-have been
rising pretty Bteadlly for ihe laut de
cade or two. owing apparently to the
great increase of tho gold supply,
which has lowered tho intrinsic value
of a dollar, nuking more dellars nec
essary to buy Uie same goods. It la
evident that the war ls using up tho
world'? destructible weulth at a tre
mendouK rate. But the gold isn't be
ing destroyed, Gold and land arc two
forms of wealth that are sure to sur
viv?-, lu fact, after the war there will
he more gold in the world than ever,
while there will he leas of nearly
every thing that gold buys-?Includ
ing labor. Why, then shouldn't abe
sumo old law work, with still great
er effectiveness, raising higher tho
pri?es of the necessaries of life?
This theory has u practical inter
est to all creditors, including sub
scribers to government bonds. Ob
viously, if prices are going to go up
and stay up. tho money they have
loaned will bo worth less when they
get it back, becauso lt will buy less.
The envied creditor is UIUB ait a dis
advantage, and tito long-term debtor
wtins. There should be some comfort
in that to those who owe money, and
to statesmen who feel the recpousi
bllr-ty of the tremendous national
debts their governments aro assum
ing. It in possible, however, that this
future cheapening of money <B al
ready discounted in tho abnormally
high rates of interest the belliger
ents have to pay to float their war Is- !
sues.
As far as the average man ls con
cerned this forecast doesn't seem to
indicate much change In bis situa
tion. He may be a little wor?e off,
becauso bis higher wages may bc eat
on up by Ht?l higher prices und taxes.
It's reassuring to hear that 400.000
horses and mules sold io belligerents
in the past year have not been our
best stock, it would be criminal to
sell first-class animals for the fate
that they're B?ro to find at the hattie
front. Although, when you come to
thing of it, maybe lt's JuBt aa criminal
to send first-class men there.
CERTAINLY, ENGLAND DID IT!
It seems strange that Dr. Oswald
Flamm's explanation of the Lusitania
disaster has received so li.tu- cred
ence outside of Germany. Dr. Flamm
(whoso middle name is not Fllmml
hns absolutely proved, in a Berlin
newspaper ithat it was 'tito British
who sank thc Lusitania, and anybody
who rejects lila reasoning is incap
able of logic, of is unneutral at heart
First, hr proves lt by abstract rea
soning, hugland cauBed thc sinking
nf tito Lusitania because that would
have been a natural thing for her to
do. "She had the very greatest In-'
terest in causing thc loss of a really
important ship, with simultaneous de
struction of numerous American lives,
by a German submarine." England
knew, of course, that thero would be
an ultimatum from Washington and
England would ?gain American moral
support or even i American participa
tion in tho war.
So England plotted deliberately to
bring thc Lusitania within range of
a German submarino and made it as
easy as possible for thc subuanine to
torpedo her.
Dr. F mm reinforces this conclu
sion wi:h an argument based on cir
cumstantial evidence. The "abject un
scrupulousness of the English gov
ernment" ls shown by the fact that
tho well-built Lusitania sark "with
in (the incredible space of twenty
minutes. "After a careful analysis
of the ship structure and the whole
situation, he concludes that the dis
aster was caused not by the German
torpedo 'that hit the Lusitania, but
by a second explosion, "srtldcially
and intentionally caused by some paid
Individual on board for the purpose
ot insuring the certain destruction of
the vessel."
And isn't it possible, too, that Eng
land ls deliberately plotting against
Germany by always having women
and children where they will be kill
ed by the bombs dropped by the Zep
pelin airships?
Oar national debt ls only two-thirds
of one per cent of our national wealth,
and only $11 per capita. It's already
the smallest debt In proportion to our
wealth a&d population of any Impor
tant nation In she world. The only
reason why we have any debt at all
ts that* lt's useful aa the baals of our
banking system. Even If lt should
have to be doubled or trebled because
ot emergencies created by. Mie war,
we'd attil be in tar better shape than
4
any oilier power belligerent or neu
tral.
EQUAL PAY FOB KW AL WORK.
The State of Illinois has derided
that a piece of work done for lt hy a
woman 1B worth Just as much as tho
same piece of work done equally well
hy a man. Any rational and disin
terested ?niluan being would probably
say that tho fact is self-evident, but
very few communities in America, or
anywhere else, have yet recognized
it.
Meginnlng September 1, all women
employees of the ?State will receive
the samo pay as men doing th?vsamo
class of work. This step, derided on
by tho State 'board of administration,
affects directly 3,500 employees and in
directly some 20,000 warda in State in
stitutions.
It is regarded as an act of simple
Justice. "There is no reason," ex
plains the president of ibo board,
"why a woman nurse in a State In
stitution should not receive as high
wages as Ute men attendants for tho
same class of work." It is the same
view taken In New York when that
city broke tho ancient, unfair rule
by paying women teachers the sanie
salaries that men teachers received
for the same services.
Ifs all a part of the big question of
' democracy. If a woman ls paid less
i than u man for doing thc same work.
?simply because Bbc's a woman, then
thc sex Is in a state of serfdom, ex
ploited by man to Hie extent of the
difference In wages.
If this is really a democracy, and
women aro people, then men and wo
men should have equal opportunity
to earn a living, competing in busi
ness and Industry on thc same basis
and being paid according to their
earning power.
