WHY WE HAVE NO FRIENDS

Congressman. Campbell, of Kansas
Now that the president is home, ii
is not improper to draw lesson for
future presidents from the expert
ences OF his recent absence from his
own country and seat of government,
and to call attention to some of the
conditions his visit has made pos.
sible that seriously affect the future
OF the republic and the welfare OF
Its people.
The presidents arrival In Europe
was marked with the usual attentions
that have ever been given to princes
of the royal blood, or to emperors
with imperial powers. In Paris, in
London, in Rome, every art of the
entertainer was exhausted upon the
president. He approached royal pal
aces amid the applause of the multi
tude; he entered royal banquet halls
IN ancient and regal professions; he
was wined and dined in royal state
in every capital he entered. He was
fattered with every attention that
mankind can give to man. He liked
1t all.
Diplomats and international states
men constantly attended him and
paid him homage. If he had vanity.
1t was encouraged. Nothing that
could please him was omitted from
the preliminaries that marked the
approach to the peace table.
The statesmen Of other lands. In
tent upon the welfare of their coun.
tries, artfully led him to see their
countries needs. He was easily be-
gulled into assuming the role +bo+
mad been carefully created for him.
The government and people of the
United States are to pay for all these
honored attentions in the years to
come
The president wanted a league of
hations-lt was given to him. Those
VINO sat with him at the peace table
wanted to add more territory to their
domains; wanted more friendly har
bors at the doors, of teeming millions
at the ends of the paths they con.
trolled on the seas; wanted dominion

! and control over smaller and weaker
nations; wanted indemnity for the
losses they sustained in the war;
wanted security and prestige for their
government and people for future
wars, and wanted the United States
to share the burden OF policing Europe
and maintaining the boundaries OF
their nations. and they got what they
wanted.
The peace conference ended part
of this work a few days ago and the
president left Europe amid the silence
OF the multitude and without even the
honor Of attention from his former
flatterers. If Woodrow Wilson only
were concerned, the affair might pass
without serious comment. But every
returned traveller and uncensored re-
port tell from Europe the story of
American unpopularity in every coun-
try overseas.
The cordial feeling for the govern
ment and the people of the United
States that existed six months ago is
wanting now. Civilized and christian
people covet the good opinion Of
mankind. The presidents presence
country, has left the people of the
United States without that good
opinion.
No country can safely permit it's
chief executive to intrude himself
into the domestic affairs of another
country. When the president of the
United States in France. in England
and in Italy mistook the royal re-
ceptfon he had received from those in
high places and the applause that
was given him by the multitude for
an invitation to become their political
master. he lost his own prestige and
that of his country.
1t will require the work of years to
restore the government and the peo-
pie OF the United States to the for
mer cordial and congenial relation
ships with the other countries of the
world and with those people the
president has recently come in con-
tact.

TODAY's BIT OF VERSE
PRAYER OF THE ToILER.

The days crowded, much to be done
Cares claim from rising till setting OF sun;
For bread toll; but to One will l pray
My soul, Lord, deliver from bondage today.
Let pleasures toll not enslave that mine eyes
Forget to look UP and then to Thy skies.
In prosperous days, when troubles appear,
Deliver Lord. lest heart fail to hear
Thy still. voice speaking in tenderest words,
Through of breezes and singing of birds
Jobs spirit; by SORROW lowb bowed
He still the bright light that is in the clouds
/
Lest needless and sordid on earth should plod,
Whilst heavens telling Thy glory, o, God!
Lest following poor torchgleam of mine own,
/ let the stars speak to me of Thy throne;
Lest lose the meaning of flower and tree.
Good Lord Oh. deliver my soul, make me free.

Employer and Emnloxe

Jay e. House. In the Philadelphia
Public Ledger: There is good deal
OF talk about the injustice Of the
employer and the manner in which
he grinds his people beneath his heel.
We have been an employe, most OF
the time, for good many years. and
have noticed very little grinding GO

thing that has always amazed us is
the amount of stupidity. inefficiency,
carelessness and lack of interest the

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Webster City Freeman-Journal
President Wilson did a fine thing
when he made room on the George
Washington for those French brides
But how could even the man who
turned deaf ear to the entire ma.
lions of Italy and China refuse to
listen to the pleas of pretty brides
whose words came from quivering
lips, being emphasized with hot,
salty tears? Mr.. Wilson is not the
man to successfully resist such an
onslaught as that. And nobody will
blame him

peace between nations.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Some of
our democratic newspaper contem
poraries who are now praising Mr..
Taft for his support of the league o.
nations may have an opportunity to
carry on and follow through by sup.
porting him for president. You
know, he is not an impossibility.
even if some do not regard him as
possibility just now. He is a pretty
big American, after all has been said,
and he is that in more ways than
one.

Davenport Times: The melodra-
matte French duel is having a hard

war. Partisans who have been fed
up with four years of real fighting

taking pop at him with a toy pistol.

NO DRY" CHEMISTRY.

The American Chemical society is quick to
move for advantage to chemical industries now
that alcohol is Everywhere but not drop to
drink One great hindrance to the develop
ment of certain of our new dye and medicinal
manufactures has been the high cost of alcohol
during the war. Already Congressman Vol
stead has introduced a bill which provides for
i. the manufacture and sale of high proof spirits
for other than beverage purposes and to insure
an ample supply of alcohol and promote its use
in scientific research and in the development of
fuel dye and other lawful industries -
Alcohol is the great solvent in chemical re-
search. Moreover, it is needed in large num-
Der of processes in actual chemical manufacture.
If so important material is cheapened in cost,
the whole industry benefits This is the SEN
sible argument of the chemists who declare that
"a plentiful supply of pure alcohol for their uses
will do much to enable them to meet German
dive and medicinal manufacture even terms
The manufacturers have during the war been
compelled to meet tax of four dollars and
eighteen cents gallon. They seek material
reduction in this tax now that prohibition has
come and there seems no good reason why the
reduction should not be made

ORDER MORE SACKS

A number of farmers, who did not
Est their orders for sacks before Pull

so placed aggregate a carload or
more, Pullman local will call for
bids again and let another contract.
Unless the orders amount to at least
10000 sacks, no action can be taken.
Farmers can phone their orders to
the banks or to Mr.. Folger,. but each
one must fix the definite number he
will agree to take.

The embryo sign was observed by
