"THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED"

Ed Howe's Monthly: A good many
years ago one Of the Vanderbilts was
accused of saying. ''The public be
damned" He never said 1t. but how
Vanderbilt was abused because OF the
rumor that he did say It!
1t was charged that he said 1t In
connection with the railroad business.
Eut now that the government has
charge of the railroads. how perfectly
it carries out policy of THE public
be damned" A gentleman tells me
that in New Orleans he wanted 70 buy
railroad ticket. He took his place IL,
line and waited ffty-fve minutes
before ne could transact his business.
And when he finally reached clerk,
he was told he was lucky to be waited
ON In fifty-f1ve minutes.
This is the railroad reform" we
have accomplished after years OF ef-
ffrt And rates are 25 per cent. higher
than under private ownership, with a
tremendous deficit looming up.
Some Of our wisest men say the pro-
posed league Of nations is a similar
reform"

1t does not matter In the long run
which side was won over 50 long as
we keep Americas fingers out OF
the machinery OF continental imper.
ialist politics. But it does matter
from the viewpoint of justice and
immediate political Judgment that
what has happened shall not be OBJ
scured and that credit shall go where
1t is due. 1t is not Mr.. Wilson. who
wanted the Paris covenant adopted
without amendment, or Mr.. Taft and
Mr.. Lowell and others, who would
have had 1t accepted without amends
ment rather than refused who forced
its amendment in the interest OF
America and thus made 1t possible
for us at least to consider It's adop
ton in the amended form. It was
republican senators who signed the
resolution against adoption without
amendment, facing the abuse of blind
Wilson partisans and Of pacifists
throughout the country.
BY replying to Mr. Wilson's ulti
matum with an ultimatum of their
own, these senator's forced the
changes in the Paris covenant which
have removed most of the dangerous
features and hence naturally. in the
same degree, removed opposition.

WHO WAS WON OVERp


Chicago Tribune: The League to

support of the league"
This is about as disingenuous and
deceptive statement of the case as
could be made The inference in
tended is that the darkened intelli-
gence of the opposition has been en-
lightened and won over" to the
league idea. OF course, nothing of
the sort has taken place. To begin
with, the Opposition" except for a
small minority, was not opposition
to league Of nations. but opposition
to the particular covenant for a
league OF nations which Mr.. Wilson
adopted from its British craftsmen
and put up to the American people
with virtual ultimatum against
amendment.
The opposition to that covenant
has not been reduced" or altered.

IMmIGRANTs GOING BACK.

An unforeseen development is the return of
our alien workers to Europe which is going on
NOW at the rate of one thousand day. Nat
lurally they are taking all their savings with
them, and the country will thus be depleted OF
currency to greater extent than most OF us
had thought possible. 1t is estimated that
isomething like million and a half OF our for
leign-born population are resolved to so back
and cannot be prevented from doing So ana
that they will take about four billion dollars
with them. As this would be little more than
two hundred dollars apiece, the statement seems
reasonable; yet four billions was about four
hfths of our currency in circulation at the out
break of the war.
There are some who fear that three or four
millions of our foreign-born population will re-
turn to Europe in the next few years, and IN
that case the dearth of workers will be serious
La variety of motives leads them to return. Some
Hook for abundant work in their old homelands
at higher wages than were ever paid before
Others are in sympathy with the bolshevik
movement and want to join in the looting and
lust Others from lands where wine is the com
mon beverage of the poorest are disguised with
the lack of personal liberty here; while others
have kinfolk whom they would see, or a pat
riotic interest in their brthland.
/ Many reasons thus conspire to take them
back and there are some to whom we can
cheerfully say good radiance. Yet if the hegira
reaches the proportions feared there will be a
labor shortage in some lines. In that event it
may be that our only recourse will be to invite
some millions of willing workers from the
orient, those patient, frugal, industrious immi-
grants glad of the chance to earn good wages
by faithful toll They keep out of trouble, out
Of politics. out Of anarchistic organizations, out
Of debt and out of jail. They are unexcelled at
farming and do many things in many lines bet
I ter than any other people who seek our shores.
There are no slackers, agitators, disturbers,
syndicahsts or bolshevists among them, and
about the only objection to them is that they
are so thrifty, painstaking, contented and get
ahead so fast. For three quarters of a century
successive waves of immigrants have done the
heavy work in our country and if Europe has
no more of them to send us we must look to
Asia for them; for our native-born Americans
will no longer do that kind of work.

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
IS The best thing to use is just plain null

entirely greaselcss. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
