WHO IS RIGHT,

Who knows best the stand of Sen ator Harding on the campaign issue of the league of nations, Taft or Johnson? Both are campaigning for the Republican nominee and were they to express their opinions from the same platform the same night the partisan might be justified in asking which one is the Republi- can.
 Both the Taft and Johnson skits would be taken from the G. o. P. program were it possible to dispense withs their acts. Surely they are 'cruhbing" the show. Taft in the early stages of the fight for and against the league of nations out lined his position as favorable to the world peace plan. Johnson at the outset became its opponent-the no league at all advocate. Now both are touring the country speaking in behalf of Senator Harding, both claim ing that they know how the nominee stands in the issue. "He doesen't want any kind of league," Says Hir- am. "Harding's election will mean thatseventually the United States will enter into the league," explains the former president.
 Tkere is perfect accord" in this triumphirate in but one respect. They have accustomed their minds to the American shimmy-not admit ting cognizance of the webbing of the senatorial candidate for the pres- idency of the United States.
 The Taft and Johnson factions of the Republican party are trying to follow the same band wagon, but the magnetism is plainly the ear of corn kept before their eyes and lab eled "Fifteen Million Dollar Slush Fund,"-You have noticed the funny
 
 pictures showing Hiram, the own- CT of Maud, the mule, keeping the corn just little ahead of her in order to keep Maud ambulating and to prevent baking? Hirams are all alike in American tradition. S "Insists Harding reject league"- Johnson.
 Harding favors league"-Taft.
 The Senator says it's so and that he is not wobbler.
 How clear and how out in the open is the stand of the nominee of the Democratic party: He says:
 Everyone who is against the league is against me-"
 Inconsistency; of politics is as bad as radickism and the man or wo- man who wears Democratic coat over q Republican heart. or vica versa, should at least refrain from bothering four-square citizens with his or her opinions.

HUSBANDS WANTED

HUSBANDS WANTED
 Out of every three women at pre- sent living in France one of them is condemned to spinsterhood, scient- ists of Europe have declared in an nouncing that six million American husbands are needed in Europe.
 After looking into the records of vital statistics men of European science declare that the situation is both terrifying and alarming. Two million women in France alone are facing single lives by reason of the |astounding life mate shortage-a re- suit, of course. of the World war.
 Because the United States, unlike the many other nations, has every thing in abundance the old world, like she looks to us for finances, food and manufactories is looking to America for these six million hus- bands. The Atlantic ocean is the |gulf then, between six million mar riages and also the protection for American women-those at least of them who are looking for hus- bands, the number of which is not available because scarcely is there a scientists even who would venture to be that indiscreet to name the statistical number who are now in search of better halves.
 It is not at all likely that the six million will cross the ocean, des- pite the tradition and custom of men "chasing women," but there are not d few Americans who would not meet these European hopefuls at the boat were they to immigrate to the United States.
 It might be justifiably assumed that now that the women of America have the vote matrimonial immi- grafton is soon to be hampered with stringency of American law. At least this is probably the belief of the average fellow who can't keep the girls away from him."
 Economists after long perusal of statistics and scientific discussions relative to the proper population of the world have stated over and over that the situation-its solution-is simple. Because there are more men than women in the United States and more women than men in Flu rope why not send the surplus of American men to Europe and the extra women of the old world to the United States they point out.
 Sounds all we'll and good, but it won't work. The American girls can look at the ocean and register a broad and satisfying grin, comment, ing, "Let 'em rave.' Always since the beginning at the settlement of the original thirteen states American girls have been "cooed" by several different men during their eligible ages. There has always been two or three men hanging around every par Tor at some time or other and while the shortage created by the world conflict may have furnished the sta- tistics to .sthrow scare into some, " the ocean is still full of water and on the other side of the pond they don't have the same kind of movies, the jazz dance music is "so differ ent" and what do they want to pro menade" for when they can take a bunch of skirts" out in dads super
 Then, too the women have the bal lot and this is not going to stimuli ate any such hospitality that would compell the U. s. sex to meet the boats from Europe and welcome the husband seekers. If anything hap pens it will be the reinforcement of
 immigration gates at the Atlantic harbors.
