RELATIVE VALUES.

On certain day short
while ago it became highly
probable that a dirigible bal
loon travelling to this country
would complete its trip success
fully, which it later did. This
may mean the establishment
of a practical method of inter
communication between the old
world and the new at a speed
hitherto unattained.

ed a much higher record of
speed in his nonstop fight, but
it was made by aeroplane. And

qualify pushing a wheelbar-

are not all born equal.
Many socialists admit this,

And if this is socialism we take
off our hat to that part of it.
We have not yet attained to
this contamination, but we
ought to try by Legislation.
Many a mans best faculties re-
main undeveloped because he
has to earn a living at a very
early age. He has no time to
train these dormant faculties,
and is therefore at a disadvan-
tage in competing with the rich
mans son.
1t is unquestionably an adj
vantage to have a rich father,
and there is no sense in taking
that advantage away. That is
bolshevism. Give everybody
the same advantage in educa-
ton; it is simply a matter of
taxation. There is many a
brilliant intellect which, under
present conditions, never works
at full pressure for the benefit
OF mankind.
The truth of the matter is,
that we are still lacking a sane
and sensible creed. If the
best in all parties could be
grouped into one new creed
we might come somewhere
near to the point of Utopia.
But it will never be done in the
life of the present generation.

II is difficult. at times, 10
know whether to speak kindly
or unkindly of socialism. 1t is,
in fact, difficult to talk about
socialism at all.
The reason is, that there is a
little uncertainty as to what
socialism is, at least in the aver
age mind. There are many
doctrines which we once called
socialistic and which are now
part of a conservative policy.
One might almost say reaction
airy, or imperialistic.
The term SOCIALISM," as
generally understood, embrac-
es almost anything, from the
best to the worst. In the So
cialist party there is as much
divergence of opinion as in the
republican or democratic part
ies-probably a good deal
more. II is difficult to deter
mine upon labels for any of our
parties, and to classify each
group under one Of them.
For example. There are
socialists who say that all men
are born equal. This is lunacy.
We are not. Some men are
born transcedent geniusa'.
Some are born imbeciles. Il
is not the fault of the imbeciles
but the two classes are not
equal. That is, unless the
word equal means some
thing it has never yet meant.
One man has the manual
dexterity to make a first-class
paper hanger. Unless a man
can hang a certain number of
rolls day he can not qualify
for the union. II isn't as easy
as it seems. Some men try for
a long time to learn it, and

THE EIGHTH DIS
TRICT CONTEST

The Eighth Congressional
District of Kentucky, as thor
oughly American a region as
there is in this country, has an
opportunity before it in the
special election of August End.
All other political divisions in
the State have a primary to
consider, but the Eighth district
alone has the right to elect a
public officer to sit in Congress
as its representative until the
end of the unexpired term of
the late Harvey Helm. In
Judge Charles A. Hardin the
Democrats have a nominee

native ability, culture and res
possibility it gives The Times
real pleasure to assert.
Judge Hardin leaves practic-
ally a permanent place on the
bench to make this race for a
short term. 1t was a hard de-
cision for him, for all the per-
suasions of inclination and ma
terial advantage were against
it. He is making his fight on
national issues and supports
wholly the Presidents pro-
gramme, both international
and national. His opponent,
Capt. King Swope, is a man
whom The Times would not for
a moment disparage; but il
prefers for Congress Judge
Hardin and his platform as
certain to contribute more to-
ward the achievement of per-
manent peace III that his cleo
ton will be an unqualified in
dorsement of the League of Ma
tons and the work of the Peace
Conference. Such an outcome
will have a real effect upon
proceedings in the Senate and
will also send to Congress a
thoroughly worthy man.

McAOCO AND THE TERMS

The acceptance of the peace
terms by Germany did not
write fms" to the story of
European unrest, but it has
brought one of the ugliest
chapters to an end. 1t is,
therefore, but natural to ADOPT
a retrospective attitude toward
that part of it.
In the heat of the dispute
there has been the inevitable
buncombe on both sides. That
the German army was equip
ped and organized during n
period of ten years before the
war for the purpose of subju-
eating the world is perhaps an
eXageration. Germany main
tanned an enormous army prin-
clpally because she lay be-
tween two hostile powers
France and Russia. There
were other reasons, but this
was plainly compelling one.
Equally absurd, however, is
Germany's contention that the
war was forced upon her. 1t is
waste of time now to recapitu-
late the incidents which i'm
mediately preceded the four
years struggle. Germany pro-
voked the war. She declined
to refer disputed points to ar
bitration when entreated by
the powers to do so.
She must bear her full re-
sponsibility for her act, in the
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1919-07-24

hope that the severity of her
punishment will prevent any
recurrence of such acts in the
future, either on her part or on
the part of any other nation.
One of the most clear head
ed and illuminating comments
on the subject was lately made
by William G. McAdoo in an
address at the Methodist CEN
tennial exposition, in which he
said:
Germany may regard the
terms as harsh, but of one
thing the world is certain /:
That unless the consequences
of breach of world peace by
any nation are made so serious
and so formidable that they
will exhaust every conceivable
means of settlement of disputes
before resorting to war; the
peace of the world can not be
secured in the future"
And it is even doubtful if
anything will prevent future
wars. When the veneer of
civilization is scratched the
beast will invariably roar.

GOODBYE TO WOODEN CAKES
Swedish Authorities Allowing Use
of More Regular Flour.
nv IA 6 Ic<IvI, nI6.nX


Special Correspondence of The Evening
Star and the Chicago Daily News.
STOCKHOLM, Sweden. March l.
When the blockade and a combination
of grain scarcity and brilliantly
misguided inventiveness sprang the
wooden cake on Sweden, the ,corre-
spondents in Stockholm took coun-
sci. Some of the Frenchmen and, l
believe. an Italian. sent that news.
American correspondents did not
ut is good stuff, pour vous, mes
amis," the Frenchmen told u.s. But
we shook our heads and explained
that national credulities are sharply
differentiated. There were some
things that no American would be-
1ieve, things that could not be put
over. One of them was the wooden
cake" The Swedes swallowed it
physically. The French swallowed it
mentally. But it was no sort of
diet for practical people like
Americans.
Still, the wooden cake is an actual
ity. 1t is made of wood cellulose
-four" a preparation of the grated
pulp of the spruce fir. When the
baker has finished with it. it is q
tasteless, spongy thing looking like
cake. A dab of whipped white of
egg or custard dyed in various tints
tops it. Then you make q meal Of
1t. along with corn coffee.
This wood flour is the most gener-
ally used. but other ingredients such
as acorn -four and meal made of
grated dogrose seedpods go into
some of the cakes. The use Of real
flour is forbidden.
But-and f.sre comes the news-the
wood cake is to disappear soon. and
great is the joy wherever two or
three Swedish matrons gather to-
gether. After March 8 Swedish
cakes are to be half wheat flour and
half wood. And after April they
are to contain no more wood at all.

Did the peasants turn in their gold
when the government called for it?"
Il do not believe a peasant in Croa-
tia turned over IA gold piece to the
government. / never heard of one do
ing So
Yet the Austrian war bonds sold
here as they did elsewhere in Aus
trian Jugoslavia. l had been con-
WINGED first of the happiness with
which the Jugoslavs welcomed their
freedom from Austrian domination,
and, second, of their deep hostility to
their Austrian masters. 1t was there
fore difficult to understand why peo-
pie who wanted to escape from Aus
tria should buy bonds. Especially as
the bonds were never looked on as a
good investment.

Just Folks
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
A CURE FOR VANITY.

If | were inclined to be vain,
To think myself perfect and fine
If | were inclined TO maintain
That all of the virtues are mine,
My partner of sorrows and joys
Would speedily puncture the sham
When l stay out too late with the boys,
She can tell me how little / am.
When I'm tempted to show a few airs
l think of the things that she's said
To me from the top of the stairs
When / thought 1 could sneak into bed.
When l promised to get home at ten,
And do not arrive until three.
In language that's crisp, l get, then,
The positive truth about ME.
When I've muttered Il. couldn't get
home"
Or whispered 1.-The last car missed.
No swelling remains in my dome.
No doubts of my standing exist.
1 lose the high notions l hold
And come down to earth with a
slam,
And 1 learn, for in sorrow I'm told,
Just the kind of fellow l am.
