MERE MONKEY WRENCH EXPERT There are times when charity dic tates the belief that Senator Borah is an earnest but mistaken patriot. There are other times, as. for in stance, his stand on Panama tolls, where he seems just plain mischief maker. THE BEST TEACHER Big women make the best school teachers, says Henry J. Gideon, di rector of the Bureau of Compulsory Education. He may easily be x right. The big woman is probably less ner vous than her smaller sister. More over, bulk wins respect from little savages. She can make 'em mind, and if she be tolerant and good natured she may even cause them to ' like the discipline she imposes. What Attorney General Daugher- ty appears 'to have done is to have given .Eugene Debs a chance to play the strong-man act. Which, it would appear to the average man, might well have been foreseen. Admiral Sims says he'll speak a year from now. That is, when he retires he'll advance to the front again And Mr. Daniels, we may well suppose, will think he's in the lion's den again. A Richmond doctor has added one other to'the many theories as to the cause of cancer. Bad teeth, he says. And the layman realizes that every one of the theorists may have the right dope. There is strong possi bility that cancer doeosn't confine itself to the cause. Appalachian foresters report that this year the chtstnut shoots seem to be successfully passing the danger period, and there is likelihood that Nature herself has overcome the blight which ravaged the trees of the Atlantic States. This is really bigger news than anything coming from atheletic fields. J THE NEW RAIL CRISIS Every one. who has tried to locate jthe fundamental causes of the in dustrial . depression of the last few months and the reason for contin uing high prices has had to admit that unprecedentedly high rialway rates on essential commodities like coal, steel and building materials and general freight contribute large ly to the difficulties under which all industries have been laboring. It fs'as well to remember how that the railway executives themselves were the most ardent advocates of 7high rates when questions of revenue jvere being threshed out in Wash ington. They got the schedules that they asked for. Now they have reason" to know that they sought more than the traffic will bear. Naturally, they are eager to bring the rates down. Lower rates are "pcespary not only to the country at large,, but to the salvation of the roads themselves.. The' executives, in looking around for some way of economy, turned naturally -enough to the, employes, and asked that they accept another cut in wages. The employes quite as naturally protested ana called the attention of the executives to the 'continuing high living costs, which ;are due very largely to high railway costs. That is the situation under lying the new talk of a general Strike. Because women farmers wear pants in Zillah, Wash., the town mar shal wrote the State Attorney Gen eral about it, and the State Attor ney General says you can't stop em. durn em. But perhaps the real evil of feminism is not that they wear pants while farming, but that they farm while wearing pants. If as the New York Evening Post estimates, twenty million American Women will each need a yard and a half more cloth for their skirts if the decree from Paris tor longer gowns becomes effective, the twenty thousand more workers needed in the textile mills will be able to buy 20,000 wintexjskirts; and so, far as appearances go, opponents won't have. a leg to stand on. Congressman Jefferis, of .Nebras ka, hasJ?roposed an amendment to the Transportation 'Act to permit railroads to 'cut freight rates on foodstuffs, coal and building ma terial without,; waiting for authority from the Interstate Commerce Com mission. There is here a bold ef fort to cut the red tape which holds staples from -the'markei. because shippers fight shy of nign rates. And that, be it further noted, is but the thiri end bTtlie. wedge. It might eventually mean the resurrection of that healthy competition that fell sick andpdied. when Uncle Sam took charge Vo'f the roads. 0 ug OTTTi SUBSCRIBE VO' PUBLIC LEDGER i BDKONDS SAYS .UNITED STASHES POLICY AS TO k JAPAN THREATENS WAR Drawing "Iron (CUrcleV Like That Which Was Germany's Excuse For War. .. : f .-. (Frank H. Simonds.) There is something almost touch ing on the tragic in the fashion in which discussion in this country of the forthcoming Washington . con ference is. constructed on the so called disarmament reature to the exclusion of the tar graver and more dangerous circumstances which con stitute the Pacific Quenion. The truth is that the United States is em barking upon a policy which almost inevitably ' leads r to war. In my judgment we shall have war with Ja pan within the next five years, un less we abandon ai b-ur v purposes both as to China and as to the Paci fic. The truth is that the United States is embarking on a , policy which al most inevitably leads us to war. The policy the United Stataes has adopted with. respect of, Japan is pre cisely that of Britain toward Ger many which led to the world war. The fact of British policy elored the door to what the German regard ed as his right to expand. Germany deliberately prepared for war to break the "iron circle" which Britain had forged around it. The Japanese have all the influ ences pushing them to use their strength that Germany hau; The World War opened "Japan's eyes to the strength of the United States. Like Germany she, bad felt that this country would not light. Our maneuvers in advance of the Disarmament Conference are calcu lated to appear to Japanese as a re produstion of the British Policy of encirclement. Three possible developments: That the United States will abandon its doctrine! of the open door in Chi na, that Japan will surrender its am bitions in China and Siberia, and war. - s . Where the Palmetto State Leads. (The Statesville Daily) The Governor of South Carolina j suspended a magistrate for failure to properly perform the duties of his of fice. A distillery was found on the squire's premises and he was charged with failure to function of ficially in the matter of prohibition enforcement and other laws, where upon the Governor divested him of official authority and hie will remain an ex unless he can show a clean bill of health. The Governor of - South Carolina has power to suspend and remove from office magistrates not only but sheriffs and other public of ficials who may be .charged with malfeasance, misfeasance and non feasance. The officials, of course, have an opportunity, before the Gov ernor, or in court, toiipresent their side and secure vindication if unjust ly accused. . j: 'f;f $ Here , again the Palmetto State scores over its neighbor to the north. The removal of an unfit official in North Carolina is so difficult that it is hardly ever attempted, and as a result the people are often shamed by the misconduct of their public of ficials and find themselves without 'emedr. al Notices SALE OF REAL ESTATE Pursuant 'to authority contained in a certain deed of trust executed by James Hutcheson and wife and recorded in book 140 at page 55 in the office of the Register of Deeds for Granville County,1 default having been made in the payment of the bonds secured by said deed of trust and being requested so to do by the holder of said bonds I shall ON NOVEMBER 21ST, 1021 sell at' public auction at the Court house door in the town of Oxford ! two certain tracts of land situated in said county and bounded and de scribed as follows: ;.

Paris observed the centenary of Napoleon Eonaparte's death with elaborate ceremonies a Tew Tree::3 aco. Amid all the pomp in honor of the one-time arbiter or Europe another figure stood out in contrast that of a woman of firty, dressed in black, with a fine, open race, lined by sorrow and the incessant effort to eke out a livelihood, a teacher in an ordinary elementary school near the Boulevard St. Michel. This poor teacher, now living m a tiny apartment with her cat and a few meager possessions, is the grand daughter of Napoleon I. Her father was the illegitimate son of Napoleon and Eleonore de la Plaigne a maid of honor to Caroline Murat. Napo leon gave the boy the title of Count Leon. Born in 1806 "Count Leon" died in 1881 after an exciting and feverish life into which he crowded excessive gambling many duels and love affairs and some mystical medi tations. The count's onlv daughter. Charlotte. Leon, was born when her J father was sixty years old. She be gan life as a teacher in Algeria to support her widowed mother, to whom the count had left but small means of subsistence. After hard years of struggle on a pittance she finally went to Paris, wnere she married a M. Mesnard, taking the name of Mme. Mesnard-Leon. Her husband is now dead and she livesn alone, barely removed from want, meditating on the strange destiny of her grandfather, the great em peror, of her father's wild and stormy life and of her ony son, who died for France at Rheims during the war. .. - ' " Had Not Looked For That.
