verses the fact, as it is the owners of the de-
crepit titles" who come to the United States IN
Isearch of American heiresses to whom they may
sell their empty names. The rich American
girls who marry so-caled ''noblemen" bank
rupt in pocket and in minerals are to be blamed
for making fools of themselves. Their mar
rage formula should be ''My dollars for your
title till death or divorce do us part.
The Chilean contends that the United States
is 'plutocracy" and not a genuine 'democ-
tracy But almost in the same breath he con.
dennis the American laboring man for being 50
arrogant as to believe himself equal to the
upper classes" Apart from the fact that
Americans recognize neither upper" nor
s'lower'' classes, is not the idea that 'one man
is as good as another" thoroughly democratic?
The trades unions are described by our South
American critic as tyranny" because they
g demand that no work is to be given to any
man outside the unions" But this tyranny
is not the "plutocracy'' previously castigated.
We are warned that our democracy probably
will bring in its wake catacysm like that OF
the bolsheviki in Russia" No, the United
States will never be bolsheviki. 1t is an indi-
vidualistic republic where any honest, ambi
tious and capable citizen may hope to die mil

GOOD INTENTIONS.

"Who can doubt our good intentions from
the very first of the war; through our part in it
and all through the negotiations for the armls-
tice and peace9" Thus inquiries former Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, and in
tends the inquiry as an argument to show that
we are really the most trusted and loved OF ma
tons despite the reports to the contrary that
have been plentifully forthcoming from Paris
land London.
Nobody ought to doubt good intentions,
but unquestionably lot of people either do
doubt them or profess to. South Americans
are saying lot of unpleasant things about US.
Certain spokesman for Italy have sought to
argue Interior motives our part France has
some critics who claim to believe that we are
not singleminded and Great Britain has news
papers that openly say disagreeahle things
about American greed in connection with ap-
portionment of German shipping.
Good intentions have never been stable
ground on which to base conviction Of friend
ship. They are so much less ponderable in
practical events than what actually results
from them or in spite Of them that the inten-
ton is lost behind what really happens. We
are likely to be held in regard to world affairs
on the basis Of the satisfaction which our part
in those affairs gives to others. 1t is pity that
this is true for we need most to get rid of sell
fish motives And yet actions are still estimat
ed on the presumption that selfish motives are

A CHILEAN's CRITICISM.

No sane American pretends that the United
States is a flawless nation. But those who
criticize America and the Americans ought to be
free from malignant prejudice. Exaggerated
dspraise is as self-destructive from logical
standpoint as exaggerated praise.
South AMERICANS, who in a strictly geographi-
cal sense may have the right to call themselves
Americans, do not all seem to love or admire the
limited States. The South American, monthly
magazine published in New York City, con-
Itains an exceedingly unflattering estimate of
this country by a Chilean residing in Chi
cago. Some of the things he says are perfectly
true For example he gives a correct statement
,of the actual income of John d. Rockefeller,
Ogden Armour and Prick But when he as
serts that the daughters of our democratic
multi-mil lionaires'' go to the old world to
fight for the decrepit titles of European
counts, marquises, dukes, and princes" he re

Charles Z. Hughes, in Leslie's
Weekly. We have not destroyed the
menace of force because we have
lickd the kaiser; the menace OF fol- &c
resides in every community. The
menace of force is the Hun-like spirit
which resides in every man who
wants to take his little authority or
place of advantage, whether he is an
employer or employe, and by virtue
of force. without inquiry into the
Justice of the demand, without any
solution OF the grave and difficult
problem that may be involved, simply
impose his will because he has the
power to do so. This is the very
essence Of the Hun spirit. Lynching
is the most deplorable and despicable
sign Of that revolt against justice as
such.

BONDS NEAR PAR.

Dubuque Telegraph-Her The
steady upward climb of Liberty
bonds is very pleasing to about 20.
100000 Americans who have never
before paid any attention to the
stocks and bonds market.
Nearly all OF these investors
bought their bonds as patriotic
duty, with little thought of the pre-
else money value of them. 1t was
somewhat disconcerting, however, to
find their market price sinking down
toward so, when the purchasers had
paid 100. There was no diminution
of income from them of course
their profit-paying value remained
the same. But IL a purchaser had to
sell, he was disappointed in the pro-
ceeds.
Financial experts kept assuring
the public right along that this de-
probation was due to temporary
causes-that the bonds fell along
with the general price-level, and fell
less than any other standard securi-
ties, and that they would rise when
the tide turned and other securities
started upward again. This prophecy
is now being fulfilled.
In the last few weeks the war
bonds have risen slowly but surely.
The first Liberty loan issue is al
ready selling in the open market for
a small and diminishing fraction less
than 100 cents on the dollar. The
other issues are crawling toward
100, and 1t is confidently expected
that within few months all of
them will reach par and some will
rise still higher. 1t is merely ques-
ton of the restoration of normal
business conditions.
This fact should persuade bond
holders more than ever to hold onto
their bonds. Their value is shown
not only in the rising market quota
lions but in the eagerness ~ m
scrupulous people to lure them away
from their present owners.

What They Died For.

Chicago Tribune: If Mr. Wilson
had ever served at the front In war
he would not have said that our sol
diers died for cause not strictly
their own, but for the cause of
humanity and mankind. 1t is not that
soldiers are less altruistic than civil
lians. Indeed, in the constant pres
ence of death they reach a spiritual
development that the civilians per
haps do not attain. But to believe
in humanity and to choke to death in
poison gas or to die of agonizing
wounds for 1t are different. Different
to degree that Mr.. Wilson has

Withdraw thee, soul, from strife,
Enter thine unseen bark,
And sail the dark,
The silent of life.
Leave Care and Grief, feared now no more,
To wave and beckon from the shore.
Thy tenement is bare a-ri.:
Shut the burning eyes, 4!tt!A
Ears deaf against surprise = -

The body sleeps, unheeding thee,
And thou, my sailing soul, art Free

To make 1t long short,
Or seek some golden port
In haste, springs the day
Desire is naught, and effort vain;
Here he who seeks shall neer attain.

Where lands lie warm in light;
Or SAIL with silent flight

THE EVENING PAPERS.

Lawrence, Mass, Telegram: The
average newspaper reader of the
United States and the average news
paper advertiser of the United States
is well aware that the evening news
paper is the best paper to read for
news and the best paper to advertise
in for results.
But the slow-going bureaus Of the
wake up to this fact until quite re-
Gently. They had been blowing along
under the belief that may have been
warranted forty years ago that the
morning newspapers were the best
for the readers and the best for the
advertisers.
But after conducting a thorough
inquiry and collecting facts in con-
nection with the matter, correlating
and comparing such facts, the fed
eral trade commission makes re-
port showing that taking the United
States as a whole, the evening papers
represent over the moning issues a
larger net paid circulation, a larger
number Of pages, more news matter.
more avertising matter and larger
percentage of advertising to reading

man, who might be inclined to re-

A BUDGET BILL.

There is good reason to believe that the en-
actment of law for budget system by the
new congress is real probability. Chairman
Good, of the house appropriations committee,
has presented budget bill; and he has been
working on it with members of his committee
for months. No piece of legislation would be
received by the people as better earnest of a
real spirit of financial economy and integrity
than the institution Of federal budget. There
ought to be no two opinions about this A ma
tonal budget has long been one of those ques-
tons on which there has been wide assent by
all sensible people, but no action that produced
results by any of them. The argument for a
budget is an old story and no one is disputing
it, The bill which Mr.. Good has introduced
will serve to focus attention and discussion on
the matter. Out Of this ought to come one of
the most needed pieces of financial Legislation
the congress can pass.

JOKER IN THE PEACE TREATY

Is there Joker in the peace treaty. Sen
ator Moses, of New Hampshire, thinks there IS
and he has discovered clause that certainly
needs explanation This is the clause OF ''Jok-
erlike' aspect:
Industrial property rights to industrial, lit
erary and artistic re-established, the
special war Of the allied and associated
powers are ratified, and the right reserved 10 ln-
pose conditions the of German patents and
copyrights when the public interest Except as
between United States and Germany preWar
licenses and rights to sue for infrlpgemens colh
mitted during the Cancelled
Tt is the last lines of this matter which invite
rareful attention. IF there is reason for per-
hitting special rights to Germany against our
business, it does not appear Senator Moses
saws: 81 cannot understand why citizens OF the
United States should be the only ones Germany
should have the right to sue for infrlngements
of German rights I realize that there may be
some mistake in the way the summary reads.
If there is not, then certainly it seems to me
that the clause ought to be amended" This
is fair attitude and in view OF the status In
which our dye industries and medicinal manu-
facture stands with relation to German patents,
it is no exaggeration to declare that the clause
deserves careful attention on the part OF the
senate and the business interests of the United
States.

The Germans are enthusiastic converts to the
presidents first principle-open covenants open
ly arrived at-for no sooner did they get the
full text of the treaty than they printed it in
pamphlet form. Copies of it have reached this
country and comparison with the official sum
mary is said to reveal the interesting fact that
the abridgement Of the document with which
the United States senate has had to be content
was for political effect in France and England
It is truly ridiculous state Of affairs that all
the rest of the world should have the treaty
text and that it is denied to the senate, which is
asked to ratify it and has sole power to do so.
But this procedure is of piece with much else
that has been done in the last six months which
has made Americans wonder what sort of a
government their republic has come to.
