Future Problems.

In Europe they have taken these
questions up In this careful way and
the result has been Of great benefit.
Now, and in the future, America will
have to deal with countries that are
short Of resources through the exhaus-
tiOn Of war and have, of necessity, to
get down to rock-bottOm. The thrifty,
intelligent, industrious European is
apt to be a good merchant, and we are
going to have a hard time competing
with him for commerce and for world
position, so we must consider all Of
our problems more carefully than ever
before and cast aside those men who
attempt to lead US away from
thoughtful, dispassionate view Of great
questions.
Graft and neglect IN local cOmmuni-
ties Of political duties by the average
citizen are responsible for the misgov-
ernment that breeds disreSpect, where
we should have pride because of the
efficiency of our people. The first con-
cern of the citizen in every community
must be to see that it is governed in
of clean thinking men and women
The mechanics governing a city re-
quire the same kind Of clear thought
and careful work as that given to
shop work or farm planning, and every
good American must feel that at this
time there is nothing more worth
while.
If we do these things well, we will
not have to worry about the foreign
born loving America, because living
conditions here will be So excellent
that they simply cannot help it, espe-
cially when they are given not alone
good government and healthy condi-
tons surrounding home and work
shop, but also education, opportunity
and charter of liberties which will
mean happiness to them, if we per-
form our duties as citizens.

1hen, again, the thought comes TO US
of whether or not we have not had
false leaders, and have not clung to
false gods.
Corporation Wrongs.
We all remember the outcry against
vested interests of the capitalists
There have been great wrongs done
by many cOrpOratiOns-some of their
franchises have been obtained by cor
ruption and theft and great injuries
hR$' ofien b.an dene tc Sc -igh of
the people; aud so, when we found
times hard ard things going wrong,
we have vented our anger upon cor
pOratiOnS and upon the capitalists who
controlled them. In many cases we
allowed ourselves to become angry
with a class or with certain individ-
uals and expended our strength on
our temper, rather than upon a study
Of the cure of the conditions about
which We complained; and in many
instances we punished corpora tions
for the wrongs of their predecessors
in ownership, much as sins of parents
are visited upon their children.
Demagogues, knowing the public
mood, appealed to prejudice and ig-
norance in discussing public matters
and made issues like currency, anti
trust laws and the railroads political
footballs, just as If the question OF
money could be saved by
joining together companies and pro-
viding for economy in purchases and
sales was political. OF course It was
a matter Of economics (Which is the
science Of cOmmerce). Such matters
call for a conference between repre-
senfatives of farmers, labOrers, sci
entific students of world conditions,
and manufacturers and purchasers OF
goods TO consider and determine how
goods can be produced with q fair
wage to the employee, a fair profit to
The employer and the maximum bene-

but there were several stock trails
leading in different directions, and the
soil was too dry to leave any distin-
gushing marks.
She waited for an hour or two, SIT
ting in the doorway, ;nibbling jerky and
trying to read a magazine. Then she
found stub OF pencil, tore out an ad-
vertising page which had wide mar
gin and wrote: II don't think you're a
bit nice. Why don't you stay home

depression was now mixed with dis

What Germany Must Be Taught.

I The German negotiations with the
Ienine- Trotzky socialist government OF
Russia last month further illustrated
this amazing paradox OF inevitable
German failure thru the doorway OF
seeming success. Russia for the. mo-
ment was a PROSTATE, helpless giant.
German greed began at once to over
reach itself in its eagerness to despo1l
the giant while he lay broken ana
bound. Vast territorial demands were
made by Germany, and commercial ad-
vantages for long time to come were
to be solemnly guaranteed.
The Russian socialists had begun by
claiming the doctrine Of mo annexa-
lions, no indemnities." If Germany
had now accepted this doctrine in pre-
tended good faith in accordance with
the reichstag resolution Of last sum-
mer, she would at once have withdrawn
all her soldiers from Russian soil as
peace preliminary, and would nave
proceeded to make generous proposals
that would have captivated the simple
Russian heart, impressed the peace adj
vocates Of all other countries. upset
the political balance in Italy, and weak
ered the morale of France.
But touiu 1foI "'oAo
vealing .her true nature and character
in moment when the opponent was at
a disadvantage. Her proposals included
vast Russian annexations that further
exhibited to the world her unshaken
adherence to the doctrine that therers
no law but might. Her terms gave
fresh proof that Germany does not hold
it incumbent upon any nation to ADJUST
it's own ambitions to what is right and
Just for ones neighbors.
These German proposals to Russia
Of last month were the denial OF all
international morality. They serve no.
tice upon the world Of what 1t must ex-
pect from German victory in other d.
rections. And seemingly no large ele-
ment of public opinion in Germany has
fairly grasped the idea that it is pre-
cisely such, attitudes that have led the
world to the conclusion that Germany
must be defeated. 1t must be hui
inflated and repentant German people
that can be allowed to begin over
again, and to resume their places In a
friendly world. The new international
society that Is to set about the up
building Of a fine civilization must, rest
upon cornerstones Of Justice and lib
erty, as we'll as upon those of science
and social order. Only a reformed
Germany can be admitted.-Review or

A Queer World,

Seventy five years Is not a long time
as the world runs. It covers, perhaps
the lifetime of, man, but In the pur-
view which sees the centuries drop
ping like grains Of sand" in the eter-
nal hour-glass it Is not even grain.
Thousands Of we'll preserved men and
women whose BIRTH year is 1S43 or
better, will agree that seventy five
wears Is mot so much,' taken as time
merely.
But when we consider seventy five
wears in the view of the changes they
have brought, thought Is overwhelmed
at the new world Of achievement and
of changed view points on so many
material and spiritual things.
An Illustration Of these changed view
points came to notice in England only
The ether day when an insurance COM
pany searching old records brought 10
light an application for life insurance.
and the remarkable way the applicant
was treated because Of his peculiar
habits Of life and warped views OF
things as they were seen thru the-bus-
mess eye Of 1S43.
This applicant for insurance was
total abstainer-a very rare bird APP
parently in 1913. He drank no alco-
hollc beverage. and so he was looked
upon with suspicion. Was the risk a
safe one? The directors Of the insur-
ance company decided that this
queer person would not be as safe
la risk as the ordinary" man, so they
fixed his premium at ten per cent
more than that Of the persons who
drank! The directors in their decis-
ion used these words:
The. applicant is Of thin and
watery disposition and mentally crack
ed, In that he repudiates the good crea :
lions Of God as found In alcoholic
drinks
Such views are still held in some
quarters. but not in the offices Of, the
Insurance companiea INTACT, the in
surance> companies now reject the APP
pllcations of those who drinkg'to any
great extent, anu they do nc. warn, m

Billy Louise was on the point Of rid

Billy Louise was on the point Of rid
ing away a good deal more hastily
than she had come In the hope that
Ward would not discover her there.
Then her own stubbornness came up
permost, and she told herself that she
had perfect right to ride wherever
she pleased and that If Ward didn't
like it he could do the other thing.
She went to the door and stood look
ing out for a minute, wondering where
he was.
There was a little window behind
the bunk and beside that shelf filed
with books and smoking material and
matches. She knew by the very ar
rangement of that shelf and window
that Ward liked to lie there on the
bunk and read while the light lasted.
At the head Of the bed hung 1our
sack half full of some hard, lumpy
stuff which Billy Louise had not no
ticed before. She felt the bag tenta-
lively, could not guess its contents and
finally took it down and united It..
Within were irregular scraps and
strips Of stun hard as bone, a puzzle
still to one unfamiliar with the from
tier. Billy Louise pulled out little
piece, nfbbled corner and pronounced:
"M-mm! Jerky' I'm going to swipe
some Of that" which she proceeded to
do to the extent Of filing her pocket,
for to those who have learned to like
It jerked venison Is quite as desirable
As milk chocolate or any other nibbly
tidbit.
: The opposite wall had sacks Of -four
stacked against It and boxes of staple
canned goods, such as corn and toma-
toes and milk and peaches. A box Of
canned peaches stood at the head Of
the bed and upon that a case Of toma-
toes. Ward used them for table and
set the lantern there when he wanted
to read in bed. Hes got pretty good
supply Of grub" was the verdict Of
Billy Louise, sizing up the assortment
while she nibbled at the piece Of jerky.
II wonder where he is anyway" And
q moment later: HE oughtn't to hang
his best clothes up like that. They'll
be all wrinkled when he wants to put
them on"
She went over and disposed Of the
best clothes to her liking and shook out
the dust. She had to own to herself
that for a bachelor Ward was very or
derby, though he did let his trousers
hang down over the -four sacks in a
way to whiten their hems. She hung
them In different place.

But where was Ward? Billy Louise
bethought her that Blue deserved
something to eat after that hard ride
and led him down to the stable. There
was no sign Of Rather. and Billy
Louise wondered anew at Wards ab-
sence. It did not seem consistent with
his haste to leave the Wolverine and
