MY HEART IS IN GRVE WITH CAUSE,

COmmoner, However, Declines to Discuss Third
 Party

San Francisco, July 6.-"My heart is in the grave with our cause and l must pause until it comes back to me-" said William J. Bryan, today in giving his reason for not making any extended statement on the work of the democratic national convention.
 "My views on the convention's ac- tion in reference to the endorsement of prohibition are known," said MT. Bryan. q regard it as very serious mistake-it opened the door to the nomination of a wet candidate. l need not repeat here what l have said before in regard to the evasion of other issues."
 Mr. Bryan said he had no selection in mind for the presidency. When asked if he would have anything to do with the third party which begins it's convention in Chicago July 10, or would endorse it's candidate, he re- piled: q do not care to discuss any other movement. It took the demo- cratic convention quite while to de- eide on candidate the individual votes have about four months in which to consider claims of the candidate. I shall use part of that four months fin considering the question:
 q do not care to say anything about campaign plans."

What Is the Use?

The Poindexter antiraroad strike bill passed
the Senate in its regular order while its opponents
not looking Indeed they had not looked or
they would have noticed its place on the calendar
1t did not even come to a record vote.
There is much that may be said in favor Of the
bill in theory 1t is true that railroads common
carriers public servants; they are responsible to
the public; their employees equally responsible to
the same public.
A general strike on the railroads would paralyze
all business 1t would be calamity out of proper
ton to strike in any industry. 1t would bring
almost instant reaction to all industry quickly fol-
lowed by the pinch of hunger.
strike on single system of road, would be
but this localized to its territory Buy why theorze
Why act on the assumption that 100000 Americans
will deliberately become 100000 fends willing to
starve the rest of US?
The fact is also that such law would stop
railroad strikes. Public opinion has done more to
prevent than is possible by any law which would
but aggravate, not plaeate, and which could only
forbid, not stop.
To punish responsible for a strike, there
must be sufficient proof of the responsibility That
is proof almost impossible to get. It is law that
would undertake to skin hypothetical rabbit run
ming at large.
This past year there have beeh as many "vaca-
tons as there have been strikes. Even calling for
strike vote is not Inducing seeking to induce,
persuading seeking to persuade"
In truth there is no other sort of law as easy
to e2ade as one dealing with conspiracy. Corpora
tions, even railroads, have proved this many times
1t marks the failure of the antitrust law which has
been near total
It is one thing to forbid; it is quite another, to
prevent There is enough trouble as it is, in en-
forcing the "thou shalt not" laws already on tine
statute books. Why pass another that all expert
ence the world tells cannot be enforced, and
irritates instead OF piaeates?

The Value of Public Discussion.

The recent open meeting of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce deserves more than passing
notice. 1t was very large gathering of business
men, to whom other business men talked of their
businesses which by law are made responsible to
the public
The heads of all the public utilities responded to
invitations. By this fact alone they recognized
their public accountability AS the head Of the gas
company expressed it, the day of "the public be
damned" is gone, never to return.
The day of answering to public opinion has
come to stay. The lot of the utilities corporation
is far from happy In an effort to honestly
serve, they burdened by the sins of the past
for which their present responsible arrangements
are not guilty, but held responsible.
There was no definite result from this meeting
None was undertaken No decision was reached
None was desired. But the effect was wholesome
and such meetings valuable. if only by the
closer personal touch it gives to hundreds of busi-
ness

This should be the best and happiest Christ

where wealth is more evenly distributed than in

assured. where there is least unemployment and the
only one that is financially sound.
No can feel happy in his own Christmas

less fortunate. No one can have satisfaction
in the joy of his own children who has not helped

to have this happiness and satisfaction in giving
others. They not afford not to give. As man
gives, so he gets; if not in money, in what money

Oh, My Stars!
HOROSCOPE,
December p. 1920.

Many planets frown today on
man's activities, according to astrol-
ogy. Venus, Neptune, Mars and the
Sun are all in malefc aspect. Jupi-
ter and Saturn are friendly.
Disturbing TO poise and serenity
are the mingled influences OF the
stars. From sunrise to sunset the
wise will guard against depression
or irritability.
Women may be especially suscep-
tble to the sinister power of the
planets. Nervousness, WEAKNESS and
excessive sensitiveness are supposed
TO he encouraged by this dav's sway.
Some agitation regarding oil in
terests is foreshadowed and losses
by spectators are strongly indi-
Gated.
There is a sign read as denoting a
peculiar susceptibility to falsehood

Although there are evil omens fol

day subject to the kindly power OF
Jupiter. Merchants and manufac-
turers will profit greatly.
The aged should be pleasantly
stimulated while this configuratior

leniently upon the frivolities of the
young and will be more liberal than
usual in bestowing favors.
Real estate is well aspected at this
time and he who deals in it should
profit.
Honors for an aged statesman are
prognosticated. Respect for men in

do not forecast criticism or harsh
judgment as in recent months.

Reparahons.

There is much reason to believe that France
will a; last come to agreement with Germany on
Tepdrations. There is much evidence of this at the
present Brussels conference, where both are show
ing more OF reason and less of the merely vindic-
live mixed with fear and suspicion.
France is coming to realize that she has moth
ing to fear in war from this generation of Germans
She also needs very much her share of whatever
amount is finally fixed as the total to be paid by
her recent enemy.
In the effort to get "all the traffic would bear"
the amount Germany was to pay was left indefinite
in the treaty. to be readjusted from time to time in
accordance to her ability. Naturally the German
government has not been anxious to make a show
ing that would but increase these penalties
Naturally, too German industry has had no
incentive to push industrial economy while faced
by the fact that the greater this was. the more must
be paid to the vctors 1t beats profits tax
as stupeher, for the tax is, at worst, a specific
amount.
The effort at the first Brussels conference was
to reach definite sum total so Germany would
know exactly what she had to pay. But the sores
too raw, the suspicious too keen and the
hatred too fresh.
. Now, however, the French meet the Germans in
a much mellower temper. They have agreed to the
German proposal that part at least of whatever
is fxd shall be paid in materials such as
France needs. This is considerable concession.
> As soon as Germany knows exactly what she
must pay and when and how, she will settle to the
task of paying it, conscious that when paid, the
same effort will result in her own recovery In
this very effort, moreover. she will recover for her
self the spirit and capacity for industry which char
acterized her people .'- -
: When she knows this total she will arrange,
also her financial and tax system. Then and not
until then she plan stop her printing presses
issuing paper money. AS Mr.. Hoover said cont-
mental Europe has passed the time Of printing"
paper money and is publishing" it,
When that time comes marks will begin to re-
cover value. exchange will drop and international
trade will begin to have credit stability. At the
same time France viii have not promise OF

with assured periods of payment.
