GIRLS. BEWARE!

Mrs. Grace Lane. of Los Angeles,
who, after a very brief but exciting
matrimonial experience, says she's
done with romance, desires TO issue a
warning to girls who don't look be-
fore they leap into matrimOny. Be
ware. she says, the man who by some
hook or crook manages not to spend
any money on his wife.
We cheerfully pass the warning
along. A man who doesn't spend any
money on his wife is a wretch to be
avoided by every pure-minded girl.
Moreover, a fellow who doesn't spend
any money on his girl, before she's his
wife. is a measly tightwad, as well as
fool. Can SUCH

GETTING UNDER COVER.

Japan seems 10 be at last awaken
ing TO the realization that she has al
ready gone so far in support Of the
allies that it is essential that she go
farther Besides supplying hundreds
of thousands OF rifles TO the forces in
Gallipoli and providing Russia with
field artillery, even to the extent Of
dismantling some OF her own fort
resses to obtain it. she now announces
her entire readiness to send an army
to Russias aid whenever called upon
TO do so.
Without any prejudice whatever,
but merely from the standpoint of an
observer. one cannot see why the Bal
kan states can fail to do likewise. Ger
tainly, those countries which have
aided the allies either actively or
passively. must be prepared to pay
for their acts, if Germany is VIC
torious 1t would seem, from their
standpoint. better to go in whole
heartedly and help TO bring the war to
a speedy termination than To have the
sword of Damocles suspended over
them indefinitely

TOO MUCH RACE PRIDE.

Was there ever so much race pride
in the world as there is today? The
war originated in pride Of race, with
its progress the sentiment has been
famed to "a conhagration sweeping
Europe. and probably destined TO
sweep the world.
Germany wanted a place in the
sun" for TeutOns Russia wanted
place for Slavs. Now dozen other
races. and offshoots and mixtures
never before dignifed by the name Of
races. are clamoring for recognition.
The English are conscious as never
before OF their Anglo-Saxon blood and
ideals, and their ambition for suprem-
acy. The French today are more

the Serbs. Rumania wants the Ru-
manians OF Pennsylvania and Bess-
arabia. Greece wants the scattered

yearn TO be a nation again. Even the
Czechs are ambitious for separate
statehood. The Jews, scattered
through the world 1000 years ago.
are drawn closer and the Zionist
movement is strengthened.
There are many admirable phases
OF this new racial pride. 1t is the spirit
of liberty. of progress. Of creative zeal.
And vet. there are mOurnful sides to
1t. 1t tends strongly TO racial egotism
and jingOism; It blows the flames of

fostering Of this exaggerated race ego
may postpone universal peace and the
federation of the world" just as it
postpones the DEVELOPMENT of hu-
manizing and unifying World-culture.
We are likely TO have too many 'cul-
lures" and too many ticklish geo.

after all the only race that really

SENATOR ROOT ON THE
SHORT BALLOT.
(TOledO Blade.


Friends of the short ballot may feel
a bit disturbed over receiving Senator
Root as a recruit to their cause, just
as Gov. Wilson was uneasy by the
voice Of Col. George Harvey shouting
his praises.
But Senator Root is retiring from
politics. He is no longer concerned
in keeping the machine well oiled, in
maintaining n good order the tools
and implements which promote the
welfare of the political boss. He can
afford, then. TO do q good turn for
good government, whether or not that
treads on the toes of his friend, Mr..
Barnes, and threatens TO make that
gentlemans job obsolete.
But whatever it may have been that
brought him into the strangers
camp, ii is absolutely certain that Sem
ator Root was right in denouncing the
present unwieldly ballot as an agent
for invisible government" IT is the
best thing the political boss has II
manufacturers power for him and
keeps him supreme though he lis
chosen by no one, accountable to no
one, bound by no oath of office and
removable by no one"
If New York, at Senator Roots
urgency, adopts the short ballot, it
will do much to restore state govern
ment-which for a quarter century
has been steadily decaying-to a po-
sition OF efficiency and responsibility.

The RIG ONES ESCAPE.

The L. s. internal revenue commits
sioner reports that only $6,439, goo of
the income tax yield came from indi-
viduals with net incomes of over
100000
It is not hard to discover in this
that the income tax is a fizzle. In
this, as in other efforts to tax, the
little fish are caught and the big ones
get away.
1t would be mighty interesting to
know what the total of income in this
country is. 1t must be three or four
times greater than England's Il bill

RESERVE BANKS HELP BUSINESS.

(AnderSOn BuleUn.)
Every year the farmer markets a
big crop there is trouble in marketing
it. In some localities this trouble is
marked. In others it is not so much
so. After a winter Of continual ex-
penditure and summer of hard work,
harvesting time comes and finds the
farmer without his means necessary
for sending his crops TO the market.
Bankers and private individuals have
helped out this problem before Now
the government is about to take a
hand. The government has announced
itself as ready and willing TO provide
funds for the farmer to enable him to
send his crops to market. Nor is this
all. The government is also going TO
give it's advice-the advice of its ex-
perts-to the farmer, to enable him to
market his crops most advantageously.
This is in line with bringing the
government and the farmer closer to-
gether The success and prosperity
of the rural community spells the
same for the city and the nation. That
is why it IS vital that the farmer be
given every assistance possible by the
officials.
When the reserve bank was found
ed it was announced that it would be
a boon to the farmer, in that IT would
easier when money was needed. This
is just what the government is about
to make available. Through the re-
gional banks the government has
placed plenty of money at the dis
pOsal Of the farmer, thus throttling
the spectators and the gamblers.
Money and advice will be used un-
sparingly to check any wild variations
in prices, especially in the cotton
