OUR POLICY:
To support sueu measures as are unquestionably for the good of
.V.ason County as an entire community, rather than such propositions
as are in favor of the individual interest, or of one sectton as . against
another.. And likewise to earnestly and consistently oppose all things
.bat are not for the good of the county as a whole.
STRAIGHT TALK ON WAR DEBTS
An effective presentation of the American attitude toward the
question of the war debts due to this country by European nations
was recentiv made by Representative Theodore Rnrton, of Ohio, be
tore the American Chamber of Commerce in London. In the audi
ence were many prominent British officials and financiers, including
ir Robert Home, chancellor of the exchequer, who is due here next
month for a series of conferences on the debt problem. All listened
with the greatest intentness to the pronouncement of the Ohio rep
resentative, and all. it is reported, were profoundly impressed. But
a lar larger audience than those present was reached, for the British
press bv report and comment has given the views of Mr. Burton a
wide circulation. The Loudon Times of Wednesday devoted its lead
ing editorial articles to the subject and expressed warm appreciation
... . J.J i- ..4 -m;sMi rf till
of the speech, which it earnestly commenueu io me i"'-""
T.i jni.nm f tViw pnimtrv. as emanating from
1. u ! ujnru n ucvu'io v. ...... - .
'one of those
thoroughly American Americans from beyond the Alleghenies who
know Europe, particularly England, almost as well as the I uited
States." ,
The notice the address has received is all the more remarkable
because Representative Burton took care to stress the fact that he
was speaking neither as a member of the American debt funding
commission nor as a congressman, but simply as an individual. Dis
carding all post-prandial pleasantries, he applied himself throughout
to a frank discussion of the theme he had selected. He laid down
the Drincinle. from which there can be no legitimate grounds of dis
sent, that international credits, and especially the debts of nations,
have a certain degree of sanction or even of sacredness. Speaking
to a lareelv English audience, he strangely emphasized the proposi
tion that, cancellation or repudiation of debts not only would create
confusion and distrust in the financial world and seriously impair
development, but would also bear with special weight on Great Bri
tain vchere far centuries English currency and English obligations
have been the verv. svnonynis of stability and assured payment.
Not the least telling of the arguments was that a considerable
proportion of the advances was made after the close of the war for
the purposes of rehabilitation and the creation of new enterprises,
and that the American people could not agree tb cancellation, because
the adoption of that plan would allow resources, which otherwise
would be applied upon payments of just debt, to be diverted to the
expansion of military and naval establishments and to the conse
quent production of an ever-present threat of conflict and destruction
Equally cogent was the reasoning that, in order to make these
loans, the American government itself had to become a debtor to its
own people, and that, to meet the liabilities thus incurred, a burden
of taxation had to be imposed which is quite as heavy if not heavier
than that in the European countries whose obligations are held by
the United States.
It is encouraging to find that among the results which immedi
ately followed this straightforward speech was the expression by
British bankers and representatives of leading financial interests
of an anxiety to see England's debt to the United States paid and
to find a method by which that could he done to the satisfaction of
both countries. Washington Post.

MR. GOMPERS ON "AUTOCRACIES.
Mr. Gompers asserts that American labor helped depose a military
autocracy and now opposes a political autocracy. His meaning seems
to be that any statutory method for informing public opinions of the
merits of an industrial dispute, and providing for labor's compliance
with impartial decisions, is a political means of reducing labor to
slavery. He objects to the Railroad Labor Board, as a plan under
which labor is required to submit to a body standing between employ
ers and employed. As it happens, scores of railways are now negoti
ating with their workers direst, and reaching agreements with them
daily. Many railways are promising their men better pay than the
Labor Board schedules, and the men are producing better results than
under the Labor Board's national rules. The moral of the railway
strike is that agreement between the parties is the way to escape the
alternative which so displeases Mr. Gompers,
For another specification Mr. Gompers said: "The Industrial
Court in Kansas has been a fiasco and has accomplished nothing ex
eopt to widen the chasm between employed and employers." But
Governor Allen has been giving a different account of the working
of the Kansas plan. Under it 90 per cent, of the cases are brought by
the workers. The court has rendered 45 decisions, and 43 have been
accepted by both sides. Mining is not one of the four industries de
clared essential by the law, but in the last two years there have been
more mining cases than in any other industry. In the year next pre
ceding the law there were thirteen strikes in each month, on an
average, and the miners worked 141 days in a year. Since, the min
ers work 256 days a year, and Kansas exported coal during the recent
strike. When Ilowat was sent to prison for defying the law he said
that there would be no mining while he was shut up. But before
he had been in prison two months the payrolls were normal. On
the day of the Herrin massacre Kansas was operating 300 deep-sliuft
mines, with only ordinary, police guards,
Under the Transportation act there is implicit recognition of the
right to strike. Under the Kansas law that right is explicitly as
serted, together with the right of every man to work on terms nego
tiatted by himself, but not by "outside" unions. Mr. Gompers eon
aiders such laws failures because all strikers cannot lie imprisoned
But it it only necessary to Arrest a few to persuade those not arrested
