; National Debt Growing ! The Sun and Herald of New York, commenting on the roseate picture painted by the administration of a reduction in the national debt on the basis of the report of June last, shows that the public debt now stands at $24,324,672,123, an increase in one month of $101,756,755,110. The floating debt since June 20 has increased by $345,023,500 and nowstands at $2,830,576,000. "The floating debt is the greatest of all the evils in national finance," says the Sun and Herald. -', "It leads directly to inflation, clogs the banking machinery, absorbs credit that should be
available to productive industry . and hangs a deadweight on the, money market. Yet, under the excuse that railway payments necessitated
it, this form of debt, instead of being reduced,
was further increased by the shovelling out of
treasury bills.
"The statement at the end of June, showing
a reduction ofsome two billions in the national debt since August, 1919, was largely a concoction of figures for 'window dressing purposes. It was
an earnest endeavor to cover up the profligacy
of a spendthrift administration. But it did not
: succeed. It consisted of artistically arranged
balances which were made to show a large re
"The national finances are now appearing in their true colors. Despite the merciless pruning by congress of the proposed appropriations submitted by the bureau chiefs, requests which if granted would have plunged the country between two and three billions further in debt, expenditure still runs far ahead of revenue.' The likelihood that this same condition will continue for some months is indicated in this latest treasury statement, unless the railroads, also victims of the administration's muddling, make smaller demands for overduir payments than are. now expected."
The Small Registration Returns to County Auditor Brooks show that about 50 per cent of the voters of Wayne county
registered last Saturday a small number after
the effort exerted by party leaders and county officials to get a record enrollment.
It is regretable that more persons did not take advantage of the first registration session
to put their names on the books. Jt would have
shown a keen interest in the political affairs of the country and also demonstrated that the com
munity prizes highly an opportunity to vote.
Those who neglected to list their names must dp so on or before the next registration day in
October. If they fail then, they cannot vote.
Perhaps many voters did not remember that
registration this year is absolutely necessary be
fore they can y.ote at the November election.
Some still believe they can vote because they registered at some previous time. This is an er
ror. To vote in November your name must go on the registration books this year.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
FELLOW FEELING Until we are adequately equipped to praise or censure, we must have that ono of so few rare qualities fellow Ifeeling. - Usually people criticise the things fin others which are very glaringly felt 'in themselves. And as easily do we sympathize I with those whose sympathy overflows
land touches ours. Feelings which we share with others ;must of very necessity be a part of the vital fibre of the other fellow. Understanding is feeling fellow 'feeling. And It is this fellow feeling which da a network of power everywhere that makes us and keeps us human and helpful. If you are large in fellow feeling, you are sure to easily and quickly forgive the faults, and failures in others. SFor you are seeing yourself worked out. It is too bad that we see the flaws in our friend all too soon. The spirit of an act is so' much greater than the !ct-entire. One's vast character is Vso much finer than any particular dekeet. xSo frequently a man is sized quickly ior his social or business standing. :As tho teeth, or clothing, or coat of jarma, or fortune, "or position had anything to do with the size or calibre of a iman's heart or brain. '. Fellow feeling alone is able to knit
ithe world into a social unit of lasting
usefulness. '
When folks get down to feeling with the other fellow instead of at him, ; there will be real progress and there
I need then be no fear of world chaos

i Mrs. Smith was all dressed up, and that piqued Mrs. Roger's curiosity as she met her on the road. "Going to town, I suppose," asked Mrs. Rogers. "No," answered Mrs. Smith. "Oh, to see your sister at Blakesvllle?" . "No," was the sehtitlous answer. "Going to see Cy's sister at the Corners, perhaps?" "No, I am not," came the positive answer. "Well, my gracious" exclaimed Mrs. Rogers, impatiently. "Do you think I care a rap where you are going?" The small touring company had found business wretchedly bad.

STATE AID TO STOP TENANTRY IN KANSAS (By Associated Press)
TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 7. Farm ten-1 antry is increasing rapidly in Kansas first reports of a survey by the state board of agriculture Indicate. Scott county, the first to" report, showed 57.4 per cent of its farms were being worked by tenants, an increase of 38.1 per cent since 1910. In 1910 the federal census gave the percentage of farm tenantry In the cpunty as 19.3 and 1900 only 11.1. The trend in the state for a number of years , has been away from farm ownership, census bureau statistics reveal. In 1880 tenantry was 16.3 per
cent, and in 1910 it had increased to 36.8 per cent. The estimated percentage in 1918. was 48. The situation was pointed to by Governor Allen, upon receiving the report, as one of the causes of present unrest and discontent. An amendment to the state constitution will be submitted at the November elections providing for state aid in the purchase of farm homes.
(By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Sept. 7. The attitude which the American Legion should take toward politics and political candidates will be one of the paramount issues to be raised at the next national convention of that organisation to be held in Cleveland, O., Sept. 27. says an announcement made today by the Legion Weekly, after a canvass of members of that body. The official organ of the legion as serts in its statement that "strong
sentiment throughout the country in favor of a reconsideration of the political restriction clause in the constitution of the legion is the most striking feature of a nation-wide survey Just completed. "The sentiment ia widespread that a too narrow Interpretation of the present political restrictions' clause
will work injury to the legion by excluding it from participation in nub
ile affairs o fthe country Many prom
ment legion members believe the existing clause should stand as it is, but a more liberal interpretation than generally has been observed heretofore, be agreed upon." The present clause of the constitution provides that the legion "shall be absolutely non-political and shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles or for the promotion of the candidacy of any person seeking public office or preferment," After quoting this clause, the Weekly continues: "Persons actively engaged in promoting the legion's Interest assert
the demand has been spontaneous for
a new statement of policy on the attitude of the organization." Attention is called by the legion's
organ to a resolution adopted by its
department of Indiana, to the effect
that each post in that state should obtain and disseminate data regarding the stand taken by members of the Indiana legislature and other political
officials on all matters pertaining to
the welfare of the American Legion
The Indiana resolution recommend
ed that similar action be taken by the national convention concerning the members of congress and national
public officials.
To show the views of Franklin D'Olier, the national commander, the legions weekly, quotes a message he
sent, to Basil Stockbridge, commander of the Georga department, concerning a fight the legion In Georgia has been waging against Thomas E. Watson,
candidate for United States senator
Mr. D'Olier said:
"Members of American Legion of
Georgia owe it to themselves and to
the memory of their fallen comrades to use the full power of their ballot
to keep out of public office any in
dividual regardless of party, whose
record during the war was disloya
of unpatriotic. This can be done without conflict directly or indirectly withe either the letter or spirit of our constitutional restrictions against
partisan political activity."
