Tribulations of a Religious Con
temporary.
Reviewing ita luminous operations for
tho first year since tlmt publication was
taken over by the State Baptist Conven
tion, The Christian Index is brought face
to face with tho problems and hardships
with which all its secular contempor
aries have boon struggling for the paBt
three or four years, and it seems rather
downhearted over the situation- Aftor
reciting the fact that fivo thousand Bub-
ecribers were dropped during the your
for failure to pay accumulated arrear
ages, The Index enumerates other sur
prising discoveries incident to printing
costs ns follows:
‘' The cost of print, paper jumped from
6% cents per pound in Jnnunry, 1020,
to 9% conts per pound in February; from
14 cents per pound in May, to 10 cents
per pound in September: to 17^4 cent*
per pound in November, 1020, and stayed
there-
“Tho averago coBt of printing Tho
Christian Index per issue, in the month
of January, 1920, was 5285- This
printing cost climbed steadily through
the yonr, until tho average cost for print
ing per issuo for tho month of January,
3921, was *000.’>
No account is taken of tho value of
the sorvicos rendered by the business
manager and editors, who gave thole
time and talents without cost. Had
their sorvicos boon compensated upon the
usual basis tho expense of producing
the paper in Janunry, 1021, would have
been considerably in cxccsb of #000 per
issue- J
The experience of our contemporary
in the publishing lino has boon for many
months the unhappy lot of ovory news
paper in the country—dallies ns well ns
weeklies. In fact, printing coBts hnvo
mounted so high during tho pnst four
years ns to. forco tho suspension during
that period of nearly three thousand pub
lications throughout the country—mostly
country weeklies, It is one business in
which there have boon no declines either
in Inbor costs or cost of materials-
Unfortunately, tho printing industry
has reached nil apparently Inextricable
inipnsse, and with no relief in sight, turn
- which way wo may-
Mr- Hardwick In committed to a pro
gram of economy, and if he will Oxorciso
the veto vigorously when tho Legislature
rnnkos appropriations In exocss of tho
ability of tho State to pay he may bo
able to get results. There is plfehKv of
interest in the economy administration
which Mr- Hardwick has promised; and
it does not noed to bo stated that tho
people generally hopo lie will be able to
get tho results he sooms confident of—
Albany Herald-
Mr- Hardwick Ims made some rather
brash promises— sumo that will bo dif
ficult pf fulfillment;—but he is nervy
enough to make tho attempt, and may
be able to get across with his economy
program- It- will require scientific finan
ciering, though, to put the old State on
her feet again. A supremo test of his
ability will come when 1m,is confronted
with the necessity of payiijg off throe
and n half millions of tho State’s out
standing warrants (when they mature
next February- How this is to be ac
complished except by a bond issue, or
by lopping off half of the school and
pension funds, Is tho problem tlmt will
be handed on to him by Gov. llorsoy
when tho latter retires from offleo.
Not long since there wore hundreds
of men out of employment in Great Falls,
Montana, and. in order to provide work
for them the city authorities’ announced
that the)’ would begin some public im
provements and furnish work to tho un
employed at $5 por day- But the ‘ ‘ bus
iness agent’’ of tho union to whieli most
of tho men belonged contended for a flat
wage scale of #5-50, and some of tho men
who had already gone to work at the rate
of pay offered by tho city were colled off
on strike by the 1 ‘ agent, ’ ’ whereupon
the city authorities announced that no
more jobs would be offered, and at last
accounts Uie men wore still trending tho
primrose paths of leisure- How they
are subsisting under these utopian con
ditions is not related.
In an address a few days ago Secretary
of War Weeks made the astounding
statement tlmt nearly seventeen billion
dollars must bo provided by the Federal
Government within the next thirty
months to meet its running expenses and
for refunding operations- “This,” 1m
said, “is an infinitely greater task than
was undertoken by any nation of tho
world in time of peace, and there is no
one skilled in tbmncinl operations who
does not view tho prospect with more or
less alarm. With this situation facing
us. it is the height of folly to under
take new commitments if they can be
avoided- ’ ’
The negro population of New York
City at the tune the 1920 census was
taken was 153,379, being an increase of
01,379 as compared with the previous
census-
WHERE HAS THE MONEY GONE?
Commerce Observer-
Most-every day you hear someone ask
tho question: * ‘ Where has all tho
money gone*” And then tho questioner
gOes on to say there should be just n«
much money in circulation now ns in
the post-
One, two, three years ago the South
bad millions of circulating dollars-
Bnnk deposits reached unprecedentedly
high figures; money waH so plentiful
investors found it difficult to keep their
surplus funds working.
During this period Southern people
begnn to suffer from financial intoxica
tion- They couldn't stand prosperity-
it. went to their heads; and when some
thing goes to the head disaster is bound
to follow-
We have not made an inventory cov
ering tho items that figured in the period
of extravagance, but we do know—
That most every man and his brother
bought an automobile.' ■
That homes wore furnished from cel
lar to attic-
That farmers bought more ami blggor
mulos, whetbor they needed them or not-
That silk shirts at eight and ten dol
lars a throw wore substituted for mad-,
rns and cotton shirts; anil that they
wore largely bought by persons loaBt
able to afford them.
Tlmt hay, corn, flour anil meat by
tho car-load were bought on an extrav
ngnnt scalo from tho West-
Tlmt now wngbiis, vehicles and form
machinery wero bought like a hungry
sailor buys hot cakes at a restaurant-
That-oil stock salesmen garnered in
thousands of easy dollars in most every
Southern community, from croBS-roads
towns to lnrge cities.
That salesmen of worthless automobile
factory stock ran the oil stock salesmen
eloso race in the run for Southern
money-
That liquor, ice eroam, soft drinks,
railroad tickets, gasoline, patent medi
cines, (with high alcoholic percentage,)
and about every other commodity and
thing was in such demand dealers could
Bcareoly procure a sufficient supply to
satisfy greedy purchasers-
That agents and fakirs of ovory kind
and description invaded tho South and
took back to their dens huge bank rolls-
It was a saturnalia of revelry and buy
ing—of mnd spending and misspending,
The higher the prices the blggor tho
demand- Cheap prices wore Bpurnod;
quality” wns what counted I
The delirium roachcd its apex in tho
fall of 1010 nnd Bpring of 1920. Every
body wont out to double or troblo the
record of the yonr previous- The - buy
ing public tried to broak its record and
tho credit merchants wore also bont on
increasing their batting average-
Banks loaned more inonoy than ever
before; merchants borrowod moi-o than
over before; tho people borrowed more
than ovor boforo. It wns unanimous-
Truo to tradition, tho South bolieved
cotton would bring 44 edits in spite of
hell nnd high water- Those who follow
demagogues and uso their heads only
for a lmt-rack boliovod cotton would
climb to 50 conts or worse-
Then smash 1 Bnngl ding I dong!
And yet with those facts clearly bo-
fore them you frequently hear men ask,
Whore Ims nil tho monoy gone!”
THE BOY AND THE “GANG.”
Dr. Frauk Craue.
Most boys are more easily handled by
wholosaHi than’by retail; - '
Of all clannish creatures In tide and
apace, the boy is probably the most
clnnnish. Tho Assassins of tho Orient,
the McCanns of Seotlnnd, tho Nthilisto
of Russia, or tho Chinese White Wolves,
nro no more devoted to their follow-
crafts than the boy to his Gang.
About a certain age the boy-bud be
gins to separate from its parent-stoni,
lip until now ho hns no individuality;
it has movgod into tho family. He lias
thought, noted and boliovod ns his broth
ers and sisters did.
But there comes n day whon ho re
turns from Ids play, and it seems ns if
ho wero n new personality. Ho is chang
ed. His mothor is nonplussed. Grandma
wants to know “whatever has cogie ovor
tho child," Tho pious aunt is shocked.
Tho cause is that tho boy Ims made
a now discovery. Ilo Ims found a frlond.
It. is almost ns slmtterlngly wondorful
whon a boy experiences his first com
radeship us whon he first falls in love,
Tho parents cannot understand it.
He seems'to worship tlmt Kelly boy.
Ho talks like him—almost looks like him.
It is a wIbo parent that is careful to
select the child’s “gang.’f It is nl
moat ns Important, ns his family. For
the gang instinct is vory strong.
The boys tlmt lie and steal elsewhere
will be loyal to the gang. Tho gang-
morals nnd gnng-ideuls nro more bind
ing on him than anything that teacher
and Sunday-school can supply.
For tills reason boy gangs should bo
selected enrefully, A woek ( ’s tramp with
n docent lot of Boy Scouts will do more
good than n year’s parental advice.
Do not imagine that you can repress
tho gang instinct in your boy. It is
Nature culling. It- is for you, as your
boy’s best friend, to .help him find the
right gang. For it is truer of him than
any of us grown-ups that the best nnd
the worst, of the individual is the com
pany lie plays with.
OBITUARY.
On Fob- 13, 1021, the tired spirit of
our dear sister, Mrs- Ed Lasenby, wing-
mi its flight to tho realms of the blest.
Our Savior hushed the lips of pain,
closed her eyes, nnd led her o’er the
river into tho mystic land where she
now walks amid celestial spheres ‘' the
golden paths of light-” Oh, how sad
to think of dear sister being dead, how
hard to give her up, she was so sweet
and good; yet God knew best- Thoso
who knew her best loved her most, and
it is sad to know that, we shall not see
her more, or lieur her sweet voice again-
As a- wife she was true and faithful, as
a mother kind and gentle.
She wns the daughter of Mr- and Mrs-
J. T- Lunsford, and was born Nov- 12,
1892. She was a member of the Baptist
church- Her funeral wns conducted te
ller pastor, Rev- F- J. Amis, in tho
presence of a host of sorrowing friends
and relatives, nnd her body was laid to
rest at Emory Chapel- She has gone to
yonder city to abide forevermore—in
that land of fadeless beauty she has
reached a brighter shore- Sister-
NOT THE TIME FOR HIGH TAIFF.
Savannah Press-
We think Senator Hnrris is right
when lie points out that the legislative
program which tho Republican loaders
have hit upon will not give tho benefits
tlmt. tho country needs-
It is a mistake to put the tariff bill
ahead of tax revision. In fact, It is a
subterfuge- While high tuxes last the
country is to bo deluded with tho belief
that the tariff bill will supply so much
revenue that income tax and excess
profits tax may be brought down. These
nro Republican tactics, nnd it is a play
for position. A high tariff bill means
additional expense for Georgia homes-
There is nothing of positive value to
the Georgia farmer in the emergency!
tariff bill, although under the guise. of
protection for peanuts and cotton seed
oil the Republicans hopo to gain support
among the Southern fnrmeri-
The Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, in its Weekly letter, declares 'that
we need European markets to preserve
our national prosperity- Before we leg
islate in America we must remember
that Europe owes ub money, nnd that
tho way to help them pay it is to make it
easy for our products to go abroad- In
this way Europe enn sottlo up with us and
farm nnd factory products can be sold-
We must think of America in terms of
European conditions- While we did not
annex a square foot of Europe politi
cally in tho war, we annexed a large
part of that continent economically, and
we find that wo cannot withdraw from
it if we would, except at a sacrifice to
our own prosperity. We are economi
cally dependent upon other nations to
a larger extent than has been generally
understood- ”
The way to holp our products to go
abroad and to help Europe pay the bil
lions which she owes us is not to erect
a high tariff wall. Senator Harris says
that Democratic Senators are anxious
to serve the new administration by help-,
ing in many problems, but that they
would keep the country Informed as to
the real status of matters-
‘Whqt’s the matter!” inquired tho
foreman, ns he entered the sanctum for
copy and noted the editor’s bleeding
nose, black eye and tattered, dusty coat-
“Fall downstairs!” “No—only that,”
replied tho editor, pointing his finger to
a paragraph in the paper before him-
It’s our account of the Orapley-Smith
wedding- It ought to read, ‘Miss
Smith’s dimpled, Bhining face formed a
pleasing contrast to Mr- Orapley’s
strong, bold pliyijiogoniy- ’ ’ But Bee how
it is printed- ’
Anil tho foreman read, “Miss Smith’s
pimply, skinny face formed a pleasing
contrast to Mr. Orapley’s stony, bald
physlogomy- ’ ’ i
’Crnpley was just in here,” contin
ued tho editor, throwing one blood-
streakoil handkorchlof into the waste
basket nnd feeling in Mb pockets for
a clean one, “and he— But .just send
