According to uu« of the commentators Germany foal 50.000 men by death and Kl.twv injured during the first ten day* of the »a».-—The Pule.- the English and the French have of < nurse lust as many er probably more What a price to pay for power or prestige . or poasesaion and at that rate what will the totals be In a year I or two or three years? It's almost ‘ 100 frightful to think about. The rush of customers to the ’ stores in an effort to lay in al stock of sugar has resulted hi the lifting of the ban on Cuban aur-1 plus, said to be MW.900 ton* and which opened to the market here | will no doubt tend to immediately reduce the price and disperse the s<are of those housewives who l feared a shortage similar to that ot twenty years ago. What will the census of Decatur be lor 1940? That's an Interest Ing thine to guess on There are 1.439 telephones in the city and we deliver about the same number of papers besides about a hundred that are called lor at this oflke Os course these include business house* and tactorie* aud in numerous cases more than one phone and one paper to a residence. During the past three or tour years, several hundred new home* have * been built here and there Is still a shortage We have uo Idea what the population is but we feel sure , we will show a healthy growth for the past ten years. The tai rate la too high to be satisfactory to a majority <>< the people aud it can only be reduced by making the expenditure, leas the next year It we all keep that iu mind when demanding improvements and In favoring those things that mean extra costs, we can have a rednttarn when the various boards meet Hext year That should be our determination for a city cannot afford a high tax rule and when it gels beyond 53 the pubih- generally considers it a high rale. Town* and cities hundreds of years old are being dctnolishrd in l*i>laiai and It must seem like the end of the world tor those who have helped to build them We would think it a terrible disaster If our city Was suddenly destroyed and it would be but over there thia Is happening to so many communities that none ot them will receive mm-h attention It takes many decade* to build a elty that is modem and complete and desirable but with the modern war machines they can be rased in a few hour* with greet km* of Hfe. War is worse than Sherman said It was. If Mr iiernarr McFadden subscribes to a clipping service he will be dls<ouraged by the vigor of unfavorable editorial comment on hie assertion, over his signature in his "Liberty" msgaxltie of August U that The stability of our

Frank H. Lev t 1 tn his Joplin "Southwestern,'* "the 'quotations ranged from a low of 2 103 to a high of 131.39 for u hunl» dred-doilar boud. When buyers 11 pay a premium of 1313 for the » PH vilege of buying a thousand-dob > lar bond, there is no question of • confidence In. or stability of. our ‘ government." To McFadden's I statement that "Previous to the present administration, our govj eminent was an outstanding example of stability aud dependabil- , ity." Sol. Lee call* attention to I the fact that Secretary of the Treasury Mellon had to recall an issue of V. 8. Bouds under the Hoover Administration and that another issue sold down to Ist. I Mr. McFadden called his curious editorial "Put the Government Train Back on the Track." Col. ' Lee says it Is there already. "Just a* soon as reactionaries quit areas-, mg the track." he concludes. "it ; will eclipse any previous record." - — Transfer of the Bank of Eng-' I laud's gold reserves to the British i j government tor war needs leave* the bank iu the unprecedented, | iiositiiiu of having a pure fiduciary note issue secured only by govern-1 i menl obligation* Regarded from I I a purely mechanical aspect, the , bank is in the same position a* i the German Helchsbauk.

It is. however, a fairly I t sate cues* that if there is any one « 'hums i uvunt ries that is likely . to escape the disasters of real curj rency inflation, it is the mother of , the gold standard that we used to know ot before 1914.
