.oltor TIMES.
The world today is like a fascinating
kaleidoscope. Every time it turns
around things take a different form
But recently we were celebrating the
allied victory over Germany. Today We
see all the nations engaged in the
world war struggling 10 their feet.
Germany has been beaten on land. on
the sea, under the water. in the air and
economically. Autocracy has been
crushed an democracy has triumphed.
What VIII tomorrow reveal? A new
and unseen German menace?
Out of the ruins Of the crushed Ger
man empire the new statesmen and the
people are building a new nation-a So
cialist republic. And in this VIC may
find something that may again cha1-
lenge all the governments Of the vic
torious nations. without the use Of
zeppelins or submarines or Big Berthas
or poison gas the new socialist republic
of Germany may yet shake the allied
nations TO their very foundations, in
volving America as well as Europe.
And neither fortresses nor large stand
ing armies. nor powerful n~avies. nor
dominating aerial forces. nor fleets of

Voice of the People

the dividing ocean may serve as sue
cessful barriers against the prospective
invasion.
Notwithstanding all the present con
fusion, strikes and revolts and counter
revolts in that land. Germany is in the
hands of socialists of more or less ea-
treme types. Whatever element ultl-
mately prevails socialist Germany Will
set up the new order of society in
which the workers, in control OF thu
government. will come into direct pos
session of the mines and mills and
shops and roads and forests and land
all the industries and natural resources
of the nation. This IS the chief aim
and object of socialism. 1t would mean
that the workers who no longer receive
merely a fair days wage for a fair
days toll" but they you'd then receive
the full fruits of their toll" tt
workers are entitled TO the profits they
produce" is the slogan of socialism.
That is the measure of Justice as the
socialists view it and measure it. i
would mean that the coal miners. or
those who make shoes. for instance.
who may produce $50 worth Of PROFITS
per day shall receive $40.
And therein lies the greatest menace
to the other nseions-a menace which
will be more subtle and irresistible than
shot or shell. For. how long will the
toilers in other nations stand for the
existing private ownership and wags
system. or for governments that may
uphold that system. when they see their
fellows in like industries in socialized
Germany enjoying all the profits their
labor produces?
The governments OF the allied ma
ions may devise every conceivable dc
vice to solve the problems of their
labor unrest. They may burn radical
literature. they may send the radical
leaders to prison and deport the agits
tors, but these will not save them from
the menace of a socialized German
These are days of the rapid transmis-
sion of ideas. and it is impossible 20
suppress or imprison or deport ideas.

TOUGH ON

Having failed to get the budget system considered
by congress on its own merits. Chairman Sherley Of
The House appropriation committee announces his in
tention of trying to sneak one through as an appendage
to one of the appropriation bills.
If the practice of attaching riders to bills they
have no logical con ion with is ever to be sanctioned,
it is surely in. a case of this kind. According to bust
ness men in and out of congress, there is no greater
standing need at Washington than some rational sys-
tenn of appropriating money for government expenses.
The need has been felt particularly during these war
years, when appropriations ran into tens Of billions
without any machinery provided to keep track of them.
In normal times the need is not so great, but the
possibility of businesslike procedure is much create
There win be ample occasion henceforth for all the
system congress can inject into it's work. The country
will be spending several billions a year for several
vears n come, and will never return TO anywhere near
he old standard Of expenditure. 1t is highly desirable.
then. to have some device by which congress may know
within a billion dollars or so how much money it is go

A proper system of apportioning income and outgo
among the various governmental departments might
easily save hundreds OF millions of dollars a year. Ev-
cry president within recent memory has pleaded for ii.
Yet congress has hitherto shirked this obvious duty

Editor Times:
Below ind to article by Mr..

Times of which I am a subscriber-on
the League of Nations:
These are Gays when the public or
citizens Of this Free Land Of Liberty
are not asked whether they want or
do not want any such little thing as
a League Of Nations. besides many
other rulings. laws and amendments
enacted by Congress- Senate and our
own home states. although all these
bodies OF men were elected by the peo-
pie who had faith in them.
Any broad-minded person who isn't
bound to any political party or pre-
JUDGED, can see the boomerang for
1920 in the League Of Nations. On the
other hand II with q League of Ma
lions created for the purpose Of doing
away with wars with the U. 5. as one
or its members. the public might
change its mind about electing some
one to keep them out OF war.
President Wilson says the League
would be the eyes OF the nations TO
keep watch on the common interests.
Does that mean we are TO watch nor

railways with Japan and be watched
more than ever before by England. so

today? And now after over one hun

NOTHING DOING ON THE ORGAN.

The Indianapolis Star, one of the shafer string Of
newspapers, which includes the Chicago Post, all Of
them. shouting themselves black in the face for Viii
son and the league of nations, calls Senator Borah an
ass and a blatherskite because he opposes tie Shafer
view.
Thereupon the democratic press over the state does
a fandango and adds to the discord by prasing the
Star and calling it the state republican organ.
If the Star is the republican organ of Indiana, the
White House is a last years birds nest. The Star new
er was a republican organ. 1t never was anything else
except a journalistic kept woman.
Senator Borah will go right ahead without caring
what he is dubbed by the Shaferite string. He at least
will not ask permission of the Star TO deliver his mes
sage to the American people. We guess that the
Borah record will stand the spot light. Borah was
never found carrying water on both shoulders and
spining it all. He never supported Beelzebub one day.
Cherubim the next and then Frustrated himself before
Baal. before the cock crew on the third.

EUROPE NEEDS AMERICA.

john Oliver Golf, q young New Yorker who came TO
London several years ago as manager of the financial
department in Europe Of a large American corporation
has been appointed financial adviser TO the American
delegation on the Commission Internationale de Ra
v%itaillement.
Mr.. Cor, whose duties have taken him TO almost
every corner of the European continent, forsees a great
boom for American commerce in the period Of recon
struction to which Europe is now beginnin to set her
self.
America, he says. must rebuild the world
Europe has been bled white of her young manhood, her
industries have been paralyzed or destroyed, and she
depends almost entirely upon America to give her that
helping hand which alone can set her going again.
America must prepare to redouble her efforts, both
as regards the production of foodstufs and the output
of manufactured articles. There is scarcely a commod
iy We grow. or an article we make in our factoriee
which could not be used in some part Of Europe at this
very moment. AS an instance. half of Europe is nov
and has for the greater part Of the war been in dark
ness owing to lack of fuel. People have had TO live a
night by candle light and there is a consequent shortage
of candles. I might mention a thousand other things.
but this will serve to illustrate my point. The fact is
Europe needs America more now than ever before"

Build Bonded Warehouses

Do you know that the cotton which is exposed to the weather is damaged to the extent of 10 to 40 pounds per bale in many in stances for the lack of ware house facilities for the proper storing and handing of the cotton crop? Why not build bonded warehouses and prevent waste and damage of the cotton crop and save millions of dollars to the farmers? Why grow and harvest 8 crop. then waste it? The best thing for the farmers to do to overcome this waste is to invest a small amount in the building of bonded ware
 houses so that his cotton may be stored and handled without waste. Bonded warehouses may be used for the stor- ing and marketing of all farm products: other states are doing it. Why not Arkansas?
 We shall be glad to arrange for a meeting Uto discuss ways to build bonded warehouses in any county in the State. For further information write Jim G. Ferguson, Commissioner of
 Mines, Manufacture and Agri- culture, Little Rock. Arkansas.

Red Cross To Collect
 Clothing For Europe

Again the call comes to the American Red Cross for help for the destitute peoples of Europe and Asia. Clothing must be supplied to the suffering people 8 in Northern France, Belgium. Italy, Roumania, Serbia. Greece, Montenegro, Palestine. Albania. Czecho Slovakia, and Poland. To meet this need the millions of members of the Red Cross will asked to assist by a donation nf clothing. that will prove a verit- able godsend to those people who have borne the brunt of the war. The collection will be made at a time when practically the whole country is discarding winter clothing. much of which would never again be donned by own- CTS. Thus at 8 minimum of sac rifice the American people will be able to show their brother hood to those who suffer.
 An important feature of the present collection is the fact that the clothing will be forwarded to Europe, where it will be sort ed and repaired by the people for whose benefit it has been collected. thus giving the women of these countries employment as we'll as needed clothing.
