FOREIGN VIEWS.

What the British press has said editorially
md is still saying etfectually disposes of the
lain that opinion in Great Britain condemns
With unanimity the action Of our senate ON the
oeacecovenant treaty. Although the league of
satlons pact was formulated by General Smuts
nd bears Enthusiastically a British imprint, it
as not found universal favor with the British
alton by any means. Here is recent COM
lent from the editorial page of an issue of the
london Post: 'sWe cannot help but admire
he United States senate for the stand it has
AIKEN in defending itself as a sovereign power
nd in its determination to look after it's own
fairs and its own defense. 1t is idle to dis
uise the fact that Wilson's enthusiasm for i'm

RoWDIEs OF THE HIGHWAY.

Santa Barbara News. There are

Cedar RapMS Gazette. William M.
Wood, president OF the American
Wooden CO., Of Lawrence, Mass, has
served notice on the retail dealers Of
Lawrence that unless prices for the
necessities of life come down and
quickly. his company will establish a
great retail establishment, sell neces-
saries at cost and thus put the mer-
chants Of Lawrence out OF business.
He is convinced that the retailers are
profiteering at the expense Of the
employees OF the American Wooden Co..
who make UP the most OF the popula-
ton OF the town.
We have an idea that the prices Of
wooden clothing have risen somewhat
recently. At least it does seem to
cost more to buy a suit Of clothes
these days. Let Wood and the mer-
chants of Lawrence get together,
agree to call In certified public ac-
countant. and make public all the
costs Of doing business. Then. II
Woods American WOODEN Co.. is
found to have reduced profits to the
pre-war level, while the merchants OF
Lawrence continue to profiteer, he
will certainly have 1t on them.
We are certainly against profiteer-
ing by merchants, and we are against
profiteering by the American Wooden
Co. too.

MARRIED MEN THE BEST BET


Kansas City Star: Figures OF the
bureau Of internal revenue show that
married men pay the bulk Of the in
come tax. 1t isn't surprising. In
the first place there are more Of
them, and in the second place their
incomes are greater than those Of
unmarried men, They have to be.
When man gets married he be.
comes a supporter OF government.
There are the city, the state and the
nation. All have to be supported. and
they naturally turn to the married
man because he ia pretty sure to be
home. He isn't so mobile as other
men. He Is an institution, rooted in
the soil. and can be counted on. He
has every incentive to work hard and
increase his income He takes fewer
chances on investments, In business
or In betting on world series, than
unmarried men, As a result he is
the governments best bet when II
wants to collect some kind Of tax.
The day when the income tax be-
comes payable Is married mems day.
Everybody has day, and this is his.
He adds his income up on one side
of the ledger and his debts on
the other. He subtracts the second
sum from the first and pays his in
come tax on the remainder. The gov
eminent knows there Is bound to be
a remainder. for married men cannot
afford the luxury of deficit Only
governments can have that.
We very much doubt II govern
ment could exist, In anything like a
high state OF efficiency at least,
without married men. Without them
government probably would have to
live within It's income.

FIGHTING PATRIOTS

had been loafer, q tramp. a

list. Monsieur Carpenter never
has loafted on any Job. even that
of making hiself a target for
German bullets. He was one OF
the most daring and efficient OF
the avtators OF France and was
wounded twice while flying for
France. For his enc battle with
the eminent Mr.. Willard tho
honorable Dempsey got more
money than General Pershing re-
ceived for all his work in France.
For meeting Monsieur Carpen-
tier the honorable Dempsey de-
mands $1T5.000. And he prob
ably will get it. or more. What
an inspiration 1t must be to the
youth Of the world when a gen
tleman of the honorable Demp-
sey kind commands international
attention and fortune for APP
pearing In the ring, while college
professors get less pay than
bricklayers, and clergymen little
more than street sweepers! We
pirate about civilization, but pay
most for the cave man stuff.

Mr.. Dempsey was doing all that

Des Moines Register: Without
seeking to encroach upon the
privileges and rrcrog;:.tves Of
the hustling young gentlemen
who conduct the sporting page of
this paper, we cannot refrain
from reprinting an interesting
comparison Of the patriotism and
all-around worth OF Georges Car
pentier, Frenchman, and Jack
Dempsey. American, as set forth
in Commerce and Finance. Those
OF our readers who are not init
mate with the sporting pages
there cannot be many-should
understand that Mr.. Carpenter
is Frenchman who recently
gave the count to Mr.. Joseph
Beckett OF England and thereby
became eligible to stand in q
squared ring with Mr.. Dempsey
and fight for the heavyweight
championship Of the world and
several hundred thousand dol
lars In the way of purse and
emoluments. Naturally, the ordi-
nary tendency would be to favor
the American entry. Mr.. Demp-
sey, Mr.. Carpenter being for
eigner. and America being de
cidedly and wholeheartedly for
Americans just at present. But
consider what the fiscal experts
in the editorial offices of Com
merce and Finance think of these
physical contenders:
I'VE may be peculiar in our
view and unpatriotic to boot,
but personally we hope that il
the two come together the
Frenchman wins. There is some
thing about Georges Carpenter
that challenges our admiration.
In the first place he is the small
er man. In the second he put
love of country above love Of
money. He fought for France.
The honorable Dempsey did
magnificent Job of lodging when
we went to war. Carpenter won
the highest honors the country
could bestrow on soldier for
bravery. The honorable Demp-
sey stayed at home and let tho
