The Farmers Work Day.

The press of the country is filled with ed
itorial speculation as to what would happen
if the farmers should strike for an eight
hour day and extra pay for overtime. The
inevitable conclusion drawn from this specu-
lation is that large proportion Of the world
would die Of starvation, and herein is found
the answer and the remedy for the high cost
of living. When production lessons or sus-
ponds altogether, the scarcity resulting
therefrom is reflected in increased COSTS
That is the trouble today. Production has
lessened perceptibly, and until normal con-
ditiOns have been restored the price eleva-
tons will continue.
The miners of soft coal are demanding a
thirty-hour work week-fve hours a day
and sixty per cent increase in pay. They
are engaged in the production of an essential.
Coal must be had for the comfort, industry
and commerce of the country. If the miners
should strike they would sttfe industry, Grip
pie the railroads and discomfort millions
Of people. That may be one of the reasons
why the miners think their demands will be
met.
But" remarks the New York Sun, what
is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
I1OW WOuIu the coal miners IKE 1t IL the
farmers decreed for themselves half day
Of work, ploughing time, planting time, har-
vesting time, or any time? How would the
coal miners like it if the farmers refused t.
do enough work to raise the wheat needed
to make bread for the general pubIic?"
The Sun puts number of other cogent
questions, and proceeds to answer them:
eff the American farmers went on
strike for forty-two hours of WORK
week, when the needs of the country
clamored for all the work necessary to
do the job, they could produce what
food they needed for themselves, with
sufficient cotton and wool to cover their
own backs. They could produce enough
more to run up fabulous prices for the
few who could pay them. Out of these
they could gain enough to provide
their implements, their fuel and their
other necessaries. They themselves be-
yond question could thrive and fatten
The farmers Of the country of course are
not seriously considering the adoption OF
foreshortened day. On the contrary, most
Of them are working from twelve to eighteen
hours day, trying to overcome the shortage
in farm labor by longer hours for themselves,
in the hope Of supplying the demands for the
world for food and clothing. If all persons
engaged in essential production could be per-
suaded to emulate the farmers industry the
high cost of living would be a thing of the
past, and everyone would be better off.

Il DecpiVe Treaty Vote.

TS Z decisive rejection Of the Shantung
amendment is happy omen in that it
shows the Senates determination not
to endanger the Peace Treaty with textual
changes. It is, indeed, sharp defeat for the
faction bent upon keeping America out of this
compact and upon making a separate peace
with Germany. The Shantung amendment,
which was presented by Senator Lodge, ap-
proved by the Foreign Relations committee
and supported solidly by the Presidents foes,
was not truly in the interests of China, though
it was put forward upon that pretext. It was
in reality but subterfuge through which the
Lodges and the Hiram Johnsons sought to
arouse and capitalize distrust of Japan, hop
ing thereby to keep the United States out of
the Allied settlement and out of the League of
Nations. No discerning friend of China's
would have favored for a moment a. proposal
which, like this amendment would have de-
prived her of the protection that weak ma
tions will have under an international league
such as the pending treaty provides. From
The decisive vote the Shantung question it
cDpears that all teXtual amendments will be
defeated. 1t remains TO be seen, however
what disposal will be made of the divers
reservations which are to be offered

LIFE'S LAGGARDS
BY II. AddinetOn Bruce


ME causes of failure to make Roadway in
4 business life are many and varied. But
there is one which. firmly believe is far
more often operant than any other This is
lack OF really earnest desire to make head
way.
When man really wishes anything, when
the desire for it becomes an obSeSSion with
him, he tries with all his might to obtain it.
He studies, he plans, he slaves. He overrideS
obstacles, he refuses to acknowledge defeat so
long as the wish to obtain dominates him.
This even when the realization of his wish
is sure to be hurtful to him. Take, for exam
pie, the case of the So-called dipSomaniac, the
chronic and exceSsv- drinker of intoxicantS
At no matter what cost or sacrifice he must
have the alcohol which he Graves. He has his
heart set on that above all else. To obtain it
he will even undergo physical suffering of an
extreme sort
story is told of one inebriate Who, unable
to crafty his craving in any other way, frank
the alcohol in which laboratory specimens were
preserved. Another deliberately mutilated him
self in order to get the stimuant he hoped
would be prescribed for him.
We do not often witness anything like such
tervor as relates to the winning OF business sue
cess.
On the opposite many people bviously have
dominant wishes that conflict markedly with
progress in their chosen CALI e.
They may say that they wish to succeed.
they may lament their inability to forge ahead.
But what they really want more than anything
else is to get through life with as little exer-
ton as possible
Others are dominated by a craving for
amusement of one kind or another perhaps of
several kinds, Some have a passion for the
theater, some for cards, some for dancing, some
for outdoor games.
Their minds, even while they are ostenSibly
at work, are fixed on the amuSement-craving
that obSeSSeS them.
When the days work is done, when hours
Of leisure are before them do they give any
thought to the problem of increasing thoi eff
cheney? Not for a second.
They put their work out of mind as thew
would put something unpleasant They are up
and off to anus themselves as fancy dictates
Small wonder that they are laggardS in life S
race. They have no real wish to succeed. And
though they marvel, and perhaps bitterly COM
plaln when fellow workers win promotion, the
fault for their tagging is reall their own
These are the people from whose ranks social
maIcontentS are chiefly recruited. They
harangue and they hurran for a new disu 9nsa-
tom
Yet they would be as badly off--possibly a
great deal worse Off-unde, different social
order Even among barbarianS dominant wishes

appointment and pain
