Uncle Wiggily reached the garden
HIS red tulip had closed up its petals.
Just as he had expected. until the
blossom looked more like a bud than
a full flower. And. as Uncle Wiggily
looked at the red tulip he heard, com

nOWN in Nurse James garden. near

many flowers besides the roses, out
OF which flew fSe black beetles to nip
the noses Of the skeezicIzs. the skud-
diemagoon and the Pipsisewah, as I
have told you
Among the flowers were big tulips,
white, golden and pink. and, best Of
all, Uncle WIggily Lougears, the rab-
bit gentleman, loved a tulip that was
red
"Welis please don't look at it all

Nurse Jane with a laugh. Far be It

and unless you go to the seven and

"Oh, excuse me- III 20 get the
sugar at once said Uncle Wiggily.
Then, putting on his tall. silk hat.
and taking his red, white and blue
striped rheumatism crutch off the
garden gate. Uncle Wiggily started 10
hop to the nine and ten cent store for
some sugar.
But / must take Just one more
look at the red tulip" said Uncle
Wiggily- I want to remember how
beautiful It was as I hop along TO the
store"
So he went into the garden again,
and stood looking At the red flower,
the petals Of which were spread wide
open 70 let the sun warm the heart
Of the blossom.
Then Uncle Wiggily noticed that
some weeds were growing up too near
the red tulip, so he dug them out with
the end OF his red crutch-
Weeds are not good for flowers.
said Uncle Wiggily.
Just then Baby Bunty called 70 him
from the back kitchen window:
Uncle Wiggily, II you don't stop
fussing over that tulip, and hurry /
on TO the store, IL viii be closed-I

strictly matter OF what the MAORI

But from the howl that has been
going up, Mawruss," Abe protested.
1t looks TO me like the majority OF
people wants the sale OF schnapps TO
continue"
''I didn't say It was a question OF
What they want Abe" Norris de-
clared. Il said Il was a question Of
what the majority thinks. and the
majority OF people thinks that while
they can drink schuapps and they can
let it alone. Abe. the majority Of
people also think that the majority OF
people who drink schnapps would be
a Whole lot better off without il. So
that's the way IL stands, Abe. Nobody
wants TO leave off buying liquor. but
nobody wants TO take the RESPONSE
oility OF letting the sale OF liquor
continue" Also. Mawruss, I've been
reading a good many articles in the
Magazines about this here prohibition
lately" Abe declared, and in every
case the writer shows how disinter-
ested he is. y'understaud, by stating
right at the start that so far as he is
concerned, they could leave off selling
liquor tomorrow and he would be per-
fectly satisfied"
How II Happens

Of looking at the liquor question Is
what has brought about prohibition.
Practically everybody who drinks
schnapps and enjoys IL, Abe, is afraid
that everybody else who drinks
schnapps and enjoys Il. is going to
think that ne drinks schnapps and
enjoys IL. 50 he goes to work and
pulls this phouy unselfish stuff about:

England,s National Debt.

As is obvious, no one of the various
economic questions stands by itself.
They are all more or less closely related.
The matters of industry and production
intimately affect the carrying of the
huge war debt, says j. Laurence Laugh
lin, in the August Scribner's. In Austen
Chamberlain recent preference budget
it was placed at S3s,400 100000 If there
be subtracted from this total the loans
to allies and to British dominions, per-
haps s., 400 100000, the annual interest
at 5 per cent on the balance of 100000
100000 is $l,500,000,000. Not only must
Great Britain carry this war debt to-
gether with sinking fund for the ex-
tinction of the principal but she must
meet heavy demands arising from the
war, such as heavy pensions, aids to
families of dead and MANNED soldiers,
and all the outlays of rehabilitation and
reconstruction-in addition to the burden
Of normal budget for the ordinary ex-
penses OF government.
This estimate is the very minimum
for the future For l0l9-l920, however,
the charge for national debt service is
81 ,s00,000,000, while the total expendi-
lure Is Eislf9sJoufuuu. IllutI HiEu PRES
sure of war necessities the total income
for the same year was placed at S6,005,-
100000. From taxes alone, $4,000 600, 900
are counted upon. Thus, in brief, we
get a view of the prodigious burden
placed by the war on British industry.
Can her industry withstand this pres
sure? The war demands can be met only
by taking out of the country's produc-
ton enormously greater sums than was
ever dreamed Of in the past If her pro-
ductiye efficiency can be increased by
greater effort on the part of all the fac.
tors of production, the task can be per-
formed. But il anything should be in.
troduced into the situation which would
lower the output for the same units Of
labor, capital, and management, then the
task may well be regarded as insuper-
able.

THE RACE QUESTION MORAL.
The War Has Made It Acute-Justnce
Only Solution.


That the world war will have pro-
found effect upon The relations between
the white and colored races is generally
acknowledged by students Of this group
of problems. The effects will not be felt
in America alone. Great Britain, the
United States and France all employed
eolored troops in the war zones. Among
the French people there was an absence
OF social inequality as between races
which our negro soldiers especially were
quick to observe, in comparison with the
social conditions at home. They have
come back with more self-eonfdence and
more racial pride The reactions of such
state of mind will be felt from one
end of the country to the other.
The American negro desires to be a
good American As soldier in France
he was apt to regard the French colonial
black as an inferior being to himself. An
Arkansas negro infantryman was heard
to say with real contempt of French
negro soldier why, boss, he can't speak
English" America was to him, after all,
Gods country" He has been glad to
return.
With it all is new sense of manhood
and self.respect, which is to be seen in
every so-calei colored race affected by
the war The Japanese displayed it in
their demand for recognition of racial
equality in the covenant Of the league of
nations. The Nhinese are showing it in
their fight for Shantung which, more re-
motely, is a drive against the encroach-

ment Of all the western nations in China
In India and Egypt there are heard
echoes of rebellion against the white
mans domination. There is danger that
the grave of the white race as a whole
will be dug in Europe as the result OF
the wars between the white nations,
which, in bringing the subject colored
races to their aid against one another
will teach them the science Of arms and
enable them to assert their own mas
terry in due time.
In order to survive and maintain per
manently its leadership of civilization,
the white race must stop this military
crime of self determination, or suicide;
and in its treatment of the colored race.
it must lead by virtue of its moral great
ness and intelligence rather than by force
and cruelty. Racial superiority was new
er permanently maintained through VIC
lence and brutality.
America must suppress its race riots,
ii necessary with an iron hand. But the
white race in this country must, first of
all, give the negro justice. His rights as
citizen must be respected. He must
be allowed every reasonable opportunity
for education and development. The
white race is doomed if it cannot main
tain its position save by mob riot, ter
rorism and massacre. For a civilized race
that must descend to the worst excuses
Of savagery in order to support its pre-
tensions to leadership and dominations
loses its moral capacity for being civil
lied, and gradually sucembs before the
superior capacity of the 'inferior" race
to endure suffering and persecution. The
race question is moral one.--Spring
