v-rSt!^e deati Jaody.jof ?obip J. Cooper
of Ndshville, Tennessee, was found in
ftldhland Creek^near his home in a
fOfctlionable section of the city last
Saturday. Cooper was a prominent atforney
of Nashville, who with his
father. Col. D. B. Cooper, in 1908
killed SertfM ^arfoack on the streets
of the city. . He and his father were
convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment;
but were shortly after
ward pardoned Dy uoveraon i-awer.
son. nThe killing of Cooper is a mys>
* tery. It appears that the deed must
vw?' - have been done on Thursday night. It
is "known that, on Thursday he drew
$10,000 in caah from the bank. Exams'
.-[nation of the body showed that there
was no water in the lungs and a
trushed skull disclosed the real cause
of death. Blood marks on a bridge
dver the creek and other evidences of
a violent struggle seemed to indicate
that the man had been dragged into
the creek after being done to death.
The absence of Mrs. Cooper on a visit
jM to her father accounts for the delay in
discovering Cooper's absence from
home. There was no evidence of robbery
in the house; but Cooper's empty
pocketbook was found in the rear of
his automobile which stood near the
creek. There are different theories
about the affair, some of them holding
that $10,000 was the motive of the
murder and others inclining to the
. view that the man's dentil is the rcw
Bujt of the Cooper-Carmack feud. ,
? Richmond, Ya? Aug. 31: Efforts of
+* ^he 'government to restore normal
r?eife conditions will fail so lontr as a
* ^financial autocracy is kept in power
through the inflation of prices a nil
v values," Glenn E. Plumb, author of
the proposed tripartite railroad control
plan, declared tonight in addressing
a meeting of the organized railroad
employe^ of Richmond. Mr.
Plumb added that the time is at hand
^ .to "strike out bravely in the direction
<f fundamental economic reconstruc'
tion." As received for "a bankrupt
Europe", Wall street is selfishly concerned
in keeping up this inPMion, asserted
Plumb, adding that the "hazardous"
investments of the United
States in Europe weie protected "only
If Europe pays exorbitant prices for
what we sell." The speaker likened
Europe to a "rundown railroad," staa.
... gering under the burden of a heavily
Si; watered hook value," as a result of
. i
other money centers." With the cost
of high prices worldwide and fundamental,
does the president believe that
the value of money can be restored by
setting lip temporary chain stores under
government supervision, or by
punishing Individual hoarders of
food?" asked Mr. Plumb. 'To be asked
to wait on the success or failure of
this campaign as though we were toid
to suffer in silence while an unhcnltny
financial process continues, its operations
unchecked and unchallenged"
Declaring that the labor before
America was not 'intrinsically a wage
issue at all," Plumb said that if a
strike vote were returned by the railroad
shopmen in rejection of the president's
oecision on their demand for a
17 per cent, increase in wages, the issue
would "almost inevitably" extend
beyond the field of wage adjustments
and"into the field of "economic reconstruction."

Secretary Glass is insisting that the1
way to fight high prices is with patched
clothes and the like. The secretary
is absolutely right.
The first issue of the Daily Gazette
of Gastonia, came out yesterday with
eight six-column pages, wen nueu wim
reading matter and advertising. A valuable
feature of the paper is an excellent,
telegraphic news service gi\*ing
a suminaiy of the day's happenings all
over the world.
A drop of a cent a hundred in the
price of hogs the other day was hailed
as a precursor of a slump in the
high cost of living. What the incident
really means is winnings by the
gamblers and more profits for the
packers.
In its search for new subjects for
taxation the Gennan government has
hit on the idea of making each of the
6,000,000 able bodied Germans who did
not don the uniform during the war
pay 20 marks a year. To be sure the
idea is not at all popular with these
6,000,000 men peace.
If the billions of public money that
went for stealage in connection with
the war were recovered, the public
debt would be reduced by half, and If
the scoundrels who did the stealing
were sen^ to the penitentiary, the
country would be more pleasant for
honest^men. , v .-? $
The judge advocate general has

> An big delegation of representative
Irishmen from all parts of the country
went bofove tfye foreign relations committee
last Saturday to protest against
the ratification of the treaty. The delegation
argued that the ratification of
the treaty would forever fasten the
yokd of British oppression on the Irish
people, and also it would ensure perpetual
domination of the seas by (Jreat
Britain against the best and highest interests
of the United States.
The .congressional committee charged
with the investigation of the operations
or tl^o spruce production division
of the war department during the
year has reported to Secretary Baker
that the Milwaukee, railroad has
squandered approximately *3,000,000 of
government money. So far details of
the charge have not been made public
and there is nothing to indicate
whether the committee has solid
foundation for its charges or whether
later developments might show that
the report is with but small founda
tion.
The execution of Miss Edith Cavell,
the" English nurse, which aroused the
indignation of the civilized world was
justified by the laws of "civilized"
warfare, according to a minority report
of the committee on military law
of the American bar association. This
conclusion of course, is the result of a
careful investigation of the facts,
without prejudice. It does not pretend
to suggest that the German military
authorities would not have been
fully justified in exhibiting a little
magnanimity in the case.
A few weeks ago it was announced
that there would "be a sale of several
million army blankets at around six
dollars each." The ordinary commercial
price of a blanket of the same
value is something more than twice
that price. It is understood that hundreds
of thousands of people were
waiting to gobble these blankets up
as soon as they became*.available. The
sale of the blankets has been withdrawn
cr as some statements have it
postponed. There is a state of uncertainty
about the matter, and nothing
positive is known as to whether
the blankets will be offered. Among
other suspicions on the part of the
public is that the woo! trust has taken
a hand to hold up the sale.
According to the despatches, the
Hungarian cabinet problem is far
from settled. Bela Kun was an extreme
radical, and the moderate radicals
who are in the majority would not
sU'ul ^or him. Archduke Joseph with
a following' of aristocrats was able to
slip in because of the dissatisfaction
of the moderate radicals; but it immediately
developed that the moderate
radicals did not need any more of
Archduke Joseph than they needed of
Belu Kun. The peace conference
committee told Joseph to step down
and he did so. Now the peace conference
are trying to get the moderate
radicals to divide up with Archduke
Joseph's aristocrats; but they won't
do it. They say that Archduke Joseph's
crowd must get entirely out.
The New York World and other
newspapers having recently announced
their purpose of publishing a story of
the war by ^en. Ludendorf, quartermaster
general of the German army.
Senator Chamberlain, 'Democrat, of
Oregon, took occasion to remark in
the senate last Saturday: J'I hope the
newspapers will, without any act of
congress, decline absolutely to print
this story of the German general so
largely responsible for the kind of
warfare conducted by Germany."
Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts,
said he also hoped that It
would not be done. As to whether
the / newspapers directly concerned,
will pay any attention t<^ the wishes
of Senators Chamberlain and Lodge
remains to be seen; but it is quite
sr?fe .to say that even if ihese newspapers
should refrain from publishing
Lfudendorfs story, the story will no
doubt be made available in book form
to those who desire to read it. But
after all, why should it hurt anybody
to read this story if they want to?
Senator La Follette, who was all
but suppressed during the war, with
his St. P*ul speech as a, pretext, but
really because he sought to ^nake the
wealth of the country pay a fair share
of the war's expenses, is to the fore
again. This time he is fighting the
passage of what is knowlt^as the lease
bill for public lands. He claims that
this is a bijl ^o allow Standard Oil and
other big interes^, including-the British
government to get perpetual control
of oil and other mineral lands in
the United States. H9 talked against
the bill for foyr days last week and
was still holding it up when the senate
retired from business Saturday
night. The bill has been amended in
several particulars, one of the amendments
providing that no boy under 16
years of age and no woman or girl of
any age shall be worked below ground
on any mineral property leased from
the government. The fate of .the bill
is still more or less uncertain; but
there seem3 to be a strong probability
that the powerful interests behind it
will be strong enough to put it through.
It seems to be generally conceded
thaU.thc most objectionable feature of
the peace treaty is comprehended In
that agreement to give the Shantung
peninsula to Japan. This territory
was taken from the Chinese by the
Germans some years ago and early in
the world war the Japanese took :t
from the Germans. Of course the
Japanese wanted to hold Shantung and
the Chinese wanted it back for themselves.
The agreement of the Chinese
was that since the Germans had never
acquired a rightful title the Japanese
title could not be1 better than th =
Germans. American sentiment has
always upheld the Chinese contention.
No other provision of the peace treaty
has been attacked with more powerful
effect. It is now being represented by
American correspondents in I'aris, that
Col. House and not the president was
responsible for the Shantung agreement,
the alligation being that Col.
House allowed the Japanese to work
him during the absence of the president
back in the United States.' As a
consequence of this very serious mistake
on the part of Col. House it is
being represented that an estrangement
has grown up, between the colonel
and the president. But then,
while the correspondents are telling
all this it is by no means certain that
the story is altogether (true.. Col.
House is quoted as saying that so far
as he knows there is nothing to it.
It is not to be expected that the
element which has been making millions
out of the railroads will be in
favor of government ownership. It is
not to be expected that any individual,
who is getting a better thing out of the
railroads under corporate ownership
than he would out of government
ownership would be in favor of the
change. Wonderful are the arguments
such people can put up, and strange
are the parrot-like repetitions that
come from people who know nothing
about the matter; hut who arc so
prone to serve as echoes of seemingly
wise sayings they hoar. Most reasonably
well-informed people know of the
hundreds of millions of dollars, the
billions of dollars that have been taken
| out of the railroads by hordes of financial
sharps in times past. Much of
it has been done in accordance with
forms of law, and much of it has hern
done in defiance of law?at least without
any direct sanction of law. The
only restraint on such men is the
shadow of the penitentiary, which
shadow is so far removed as to afford
but little protection to the public. I'ut
the public has to make pood all this
stealing just as it has to pay as it
should pay for the honest service of the
various kinds of employes. The principal
effect of government ownership
would he to remove the opportunity
for so much private stealing, and that
wnuld vpi-v materially lessen the null
lie burden. Mr. Bryan is exactly
right when he says that there has
never been a trial of government
ownership. There was no intention
(of giving government ownership a
j trial. Those who were in financial eonjlrol
of the railroads saw the opportu-I
jnity that the war situation furnished
took advantage of the necessities of
the people for their own benefit and
availed themselves of that opportunity.
That is about all and unless the people
decide otherwise, which is not
likely, these people will soon receive
back the roads rehabiliated financially
and with ample rental. Who receiving
the benefit of a graft like this
would be sufficiently in favor of government
ownership of railroads to be
willing to help make such ownership
a success?
With a view to getting public sentiment,
on- its side the Southern Public
Utilities Company is publishing a letter'
over the slgnaturt? of Jqscph M.
T3,.svt.,r> nf 'Vfollottn Cln dfttiniinplnp
the Amalgamated Association of
street car employes as Bolsheviki, 1.
\V. W. anarchists, outlaws,, etc. The
letter dated, Aug. 26, begins by referring
to "one man killed, and twelve
injured" in the Charlotte strike, and
all the responsibility is put on the men
who not willing to work for the wages
and under the conditions prescribed by
the Southern Utilities Company, will
not permit others who might be willing
to accept those wages and conditions
to come in. This letter makes
the position of the street car men appear
very unjust. The probability is
however, that a large part of the public
will undertake to lpok at both sides
of the question. Foik one thing it will
reason that if street car managers
generally have combines that take if
the whole country, street cau employes
also must do the some. It will reason
also that the strikebreakers, who came
in to take the places of the union men
are not so much people who are hunting
work as they are employes of the
associated street railway operations
organized for the purpose of thwarting
the efforts of union men to get
a fair deal. It is well understood of
all intelligent people that nothing is
ever saftsfactorilv settled by unlaw
ful violence, and while it may be
made to appear that these street car
workers and their friends are responsible
for the violence in Charlotte, it
can very well have been that the
responsibility for that violence really
lies with the other thing:. Most men
ilnderstand the laws of self-defense.
It is a very well understood task by
which an assassin desirous of making
way with a victim, contrives to make
.it appear that the victim provoked the
difficulty, and the assassin was acting
in s^If defense even though the facts
were exactly the contrary. If it is a
fact that the Southern Public Utilities
Company so seriously objects to outside
interferences why does it go away
off to Marietta, Ga? to get a letter
from Mr. Joseph M. Brown to hold up
its case? In our view the people cjjf
Charlotte, themselves were the folks
to decide who vfaa right and who was
wrong in this matter, and^thc Southern
Public Utilities Company might
very properly have taken vthe position
that it would leave the case at a standstill
until the! general public was
ready to come in and decide who was
^ight and who was wrong in the dispute.
By this .means the difficulty
could have be/?ft. settled and settled
right, without bloodshed.

Foundation of the Trouble.
Wo arc unable to .quite follow the
president in his declaration to the effect
that the only thins necessary to
restore pre-war. conditions is immediate
ratification of the peace treaty.
Of course we would like to sec the
treaty ratified apd out of the way,
not that v/c consider it just or calculated
to any lasting: peace or anything:
of that kind;, but rather because it
would give our law-makers opportunity
to devote their full attention to
the various domestic problems with
which we are confronted.
Technically the country is still in a
state of war; but acutally it Is not.
The war endetL-with the signing of the
armistice, and actually the country is
now at peace, as much as it has ever
been or it win over oe.
The country recognizes these facts
fully, and since nobody is concerned
about the technical state or war, it Is
di(!icult to see how or why the mere
formality of ratifying the peace treaty
is going to satisfy labor or expand
business.
Surely the president would not have
us infer that unemployment is the result
of technical rather than actual
conditions, because if this is what ho
would have, it seems impossible to
square such a theory with sound economics./
The most universally accepted system
of economics teaches the enhancement
of the value of raw materials as
unfavorable from business expansion.
In tvying to save ourselves by saving
Europe, we have drained this
country of surplus capital as well as
of raw materials and gone into debt
up to our eyes. There is no use in
trying to escape this; because it is a
fact that cannot he escaped.
During the time the exigencies of
| war were making demands upon us
faster than we could supply these demands
as normal capacity of production,
it was necessary for us to
borrow by means of mortgages on the
future, and the future is now crowding
us for payment.
The only present way out is ny
means of a replenished treasury, and
the treasury can be replenished only
through the production of soil, factory
and mine, through the application of
industrious labor.
In times past, under similar conditions
labor could be made to function
with a whip; but the whip does not go
any more ifnd the only effective means
of securing proper functioning is
through just and reasonable satisfaction.
Labor is dissatisfied and demoralised
now not so mucli because of the
number of dollars it is getting for the
service it rendcis as because of the!
jdecreased purchasing power of those!
I dollars.
We would TOo to see the peace treaty
ratified at once; but we are not expecting
any general or immediate improvement
of existing industrial conditions
as the result of that, ratification.

The issue of The Yorkville Enquirer <
from a bis perfecting press which is
achieved for the first tjme with to
day's edition may fairly be said to_ mark
a new epoch in the progress, 1
prosperity and general development of
the whole section of country that is
now r^ore or less completely covered
t>y the steadily growing circulation of
the paper.
This announcement is not intended
a? a self-praising boast to the un- 1
thinking; but as a serious statement
of fact to thosie who comprehend and
appreciate all that we arc here endeavoring
to make understood. Just
at thki time, we have not "in mind so'
much such small or great credit or
benefit as might attach to the owners
and makers of The Yorkville Enquirer
as we have the unquestionable potential
benefit that is opened up to the
public as a whole.
Here is the proposition: There ife
no other element irf wholesome human
development that is more important
than publicity. This is true of develonment/of
whatever nature, moral.
religious, intellectual, material or otherwise
and of all the various means of
publicity known to mankind there is
none that is more effective than ^.hc
printed word. Thi3 means of publicity
is not only the quickest and most far
reaching;: but it is the most nccuratc,
and beyond question the most satisfactory
means of circulating the printed
word is through the newspapers.
The Yorkville Enquirer had reached
the limit of its mechanical facilities.
This occurred a year ago. The circnlation
had outgrown the capacity of the
press, and the advertising patronage
had begun to displace the news, editorial
and other reading matter that
makes the paper desirable. This paper
had reached a grave crisis and the
publishers had been forced into a
choice between settling down to their
own comfort and convenience on the
one hand or of incuying dangerously
heavy flnanelhl obligations in the effort
to keep open an almost vital
means of public progress on theiothcr
hand. ,
Tho mere statement of the case
makes the situation clear to many':
but there arc others who Require further
explanation. A circulation of
three thousand on a basis of the service
that was being given was about the
llwttf n/lif/kxf lotniy nf tpoofrt/l Ku
that-circulation had hrcun to curtail
the service. There was not sufliciert
room to supply the demand for advertising
and at the same time to keep
the paper up to requirements for service.
Crowding out of the reuding matter
service would necessarily mean the
loss of circulation, and the loss of circulation
would mean the dropping out
of advertisements. The logical result
would have eventually tycen the dropping
hack of(the paper into the standard
of a few years ago when it;; Circulation
was about 1,E00 and its advertising
somewhat in proportion.
This situation, especially since it
could involve no ru.k or considerable
loss of income would have been all
right for the publishers;' but what of
the public? There Is no better or more
infallible index to the commercial, industrial
and social progress of the public
than is to he found in the columns
of a newspaper sufficiently large broad
and progressive to furnish facilities to
carry adequate expression of progress
along these lines of endeavor. As has
been pointed out and explained the
publisher? of The Enquirer have considered
very gravely as to Irhw
their comfort and the welfare of
their business might be affected; but
they have not hesitated in what they
conceive to he their dut / to the public.
They have incurred the heavy
obligations necessary to moot, what
they are convinced is the public need
and except, for whether lliey have succeeded
in doing what they are trying
to do they have no further concern.
The capacity of the press that Is being
discarded, a Whitlcck equal to the
best of its class is about 800 complete
S-column 4-page papers an hour. That
does not permit of the handling o" the
circulation and advertising of The Enquirer
with sufficient expedition to
meet requiremnets. The capacity of
the perfecting press now installed is
4,000 7-column S-pagc papers per hour,
and by the use of it, it will be pracdt
cable to print even a 11-page paper in i
about one-third the time that a C-page
paper could be printed on the old
! press.
The perfecting press i:? capable of
handling papers of any si?c from ! to
R pages at one impression, against
only 2-page papers at one impression
by the old machine.
Ac long as.conditions seem to justify
it is expected that the regular size of
The Enquirer will be eight 7-column
pages containing an aggregate of 1,120
running inches against the four 8-column
pages heretofore containing an
aggregate of , 720 running inches.
If the demand seems to requirh still i
more pages they x-ill lie* fortheoin- i
ing, and likewise if the demand is less !
the number of pages will be reduced i
accordingly. :
The subscription price of the paper i
is now very low considering the cost j i
of materials and the service rendered; !j
but there is no present intention < f In- ; j
creasing this price.
