The Record would be g.'ud to an
nounce pretty soon something new
and good for Hickory. It is about time
something else was stirring.
iJy their nature they seem mor

other tributes to Wilson, are begin

SAVING IN THE SOUTH
Referring to clipping inclcsed, cut
vom Observer of December 3C!th: If
you have not a copy of Charles Dick
ersons American Notes borrow a copy
and read of his trip to Lowell, Mass.,
'n 1842. He says that in July,
1841, no fewer than 978 girls, textile
operatives, were depositors in the
Lowell Savings Bank and the am
ount of these joint savings was esti
mated to he one hundred thousand
dollars. Something ought to be done
to textile workers of the south. You
cannot say too much along this line. j

WILL Hl'RY SLANDER
Soldiors hanged in France by order
of court martial may have had the
nooses and black caps left on them,
na twv witnesses before the senate
cemmitteo yesterday stated, but no
evidence has been given of any il
legal executions. It might be cus
tom to leave the marks of dishonor
on an executed soldier, but thove
marks should be removed if therv is
my chance that relatives intent see
them later. Probably there was no
thought that the btules woijld be
removed and brought tc' the Unite!
States for final burial.
It has been suggested that the Wat
son charges were not without value
to the country. If disgruntled men
have been mouthing about what went
on in France during the war, their
imaginntUns would grow as time
passed, on and later much discredit
would be east on the service. While
most of the participants are alive
and while there is opportunity to re
fute charges is the time to mako
them. That was ncl Watson's idea
fit all, but it was not altogether bad,
from the nation's standpoint, what
ever his motives.
It has been shown that there wetv
no , illegal executions. - :id witness-ex
who have appeared thus far have
been more nr. ted' for their desire for
notoriety than to nive actual facts.

The Record has hopes- that the
arms conference, in which there has
teen mote or less disagreement,
will resolve the various agree
ments in principle to agree
ments in fact on paper, and
that real progress will have I ecu
made towards a lasting peace infere
the delegates leave for home about
the middle of this month. If somfj
progress is made, and we are confi
dent this is the case, more progress
"an be made in the future; but if
nothing comes of this conference,
v e had as well be ready for another
war in-a few yews.
A gifeat doal of the lawlessness
hVoufthcAit the country is due to the
utter failure of parents to train
fheir children correctly. In some
fascs tfiift may be' impossible, but in
others the parents are thinking of
other matters and neglecting their
deivost charges. Of course it is hard

1921. The five chief ceieal crips weie
in the aggregate about up to the five
year average, th it is to say, nearly
5,300.000.000 bushels. Hue in marke:
value the story was uifl'evont. Com
pared with the "peak'' prices of two
years ago, theiv was a shrinkage of
about $X,000,000,000, or nearly (iO per
cent, and. compared with last yoa
year there was a shrinkage of almost
$.'U"0,0()0,o!0. worst of it is
that tliese clops weie raised on a
ccmnarativelv high cost level, si that
agricultuie, being left with high cost
crops to market at low price
burdened with debt and with
impaiied pui chasing power.
The economist or financier, taking
a detached view of situation,
reasons that time will effecc a curv.
Two or three new crops raised at a
low enough cost to be profitable avid
liquidate bank credits would eltect a
wonderful change. But meanwhile
the terrific shtinkage in crop values
within two years has been a tragedy
to hundreds of thousands of indivn
ual far me i s in. the United States, and
the wholesale catastrophe gives .'hiv
ing power to the farmers' movement
in politics.
A UNIQUE EX-PRESIDENT
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
It is already evident, and will be
come more so, that Woodrow Wilson
is not as other ex-presidents. After
Grant's time ex-presidents were gen
erally by the world forgot, unless
somebody started a third term boom.
Roosevelt was an exception to the
lule, as to- all rules, but he differed
from the place Wilson hods in that
he made his own place for himself,
while the place thatis being made
for Wilson is being made without the
slightest effort on that statesman's
part. There is something Brahman r
cal about it. Nothing like it has been
seen in the United States since the
years of Andrew Jacksons retire
ment at the Hermitage. As time
goes on, and after Mr. Wilson d'ies.
the two retirements will differ from
each other in retrospect: and dur
is ranking her hi
can commonwealths. She is making
marvelous progress because-, of the
genius and enterprise of her people,
and they are the kind to lie among
and take a hand' within the greater
things that are yet to be accomplish
ed in the future.

All sections of the country have
now hecomo acquainted with that al
most ancient institution in the scath,

at the bottom of most crimes.
Th senate oligarchy, which put
the nomination of Mr. Harding over
