a Slap at Us.
From the Milwaukee Jour-

FROM the Milwaukee journal.
VIII II. Hays, republican national
chairman, recently gave vent to the
petty siieer that the American people are
more interested in their stomacnp and
the clothes on their backs than in Tho
heart of the world.
So this is what Mr.. Hay. thinks of us.
We ore, 1t seems, just L grovclling, ma
tcrialisuc, self seeking lot, satisfied only
to keep our stomachs filled and our
bodies warm. The phrase the heart
of the world" presumably represents the
aspiration of men to see "a better, q less
selfish, mere Christian worid-an
aspiration which is so apparent on every
! hand that none but the blind can miss
it.
But we Americans. according to Mr..
Hays, are not sharers in any such ideals.
We are first, last and all the time for
ourselves and our comforts. We may
once have had some ideals. but those
days are over. NO more altrusm for
US. of clay we are made and above
clay we will not rise.
Mr.. Hays should get acquainted wth
his fellow countrymen.

Two States Gone.
From the New York Time

From the New York Times.
1t is quite possible that Representative
Norman J. Gould, the eastern manager
of the Wood campaign, is Technically
correct when he says he has not heard
and does not believe any reports that q
schism has occurred In General Woods
political family" That is not quite the
point. Sincere and convinced Wood en-
thusiasts will doubtless continue to fight
to elect delegates from Connecticut and
Missouri Just as hard as they did before
John T. King was relieved Of the man
agement Of the campaign. The point Is
that the politicians with whom King
himself established personal relations
because he was King win follow him out
of the Wood camp as readily as they
followed sssiiiii in. This is ssschism,"
whether 1t occurs in General Woods i'm
mediate political family or not.

Tho Chinese Return.
From the Home Sector

IV1u Tile t1OiNe OeCCOF.
Pick and spade heroes of the Chinese
republic, who soldiered so hard in France
for an allied victory, are returning to
the homeland with the choice pickings
OF the salvage piles of Europe on their
backs. Dizzily arrayed in the sartorial
pickings OF ali the earth, they are
fearsome wonder to behold when they
arrive home. American overseas caps
and Scottish kits, French shoes, swag-
ger sticks, a chasseur hat set rakishly
on the ear and birdcage in hand in the
manner Of the native teahouse, some
times even Sam Browne belt-it is a
wild cubist melange Of the costumery
and appurtenances Of all the world and
all times. The little children run before
them In terror. while the aged res.gn
themselves to the coming of the long
foreboded evil spirits wrealsing venge-
ance for the joss stick left to go out be-
fore the village god.

Cupid Worshiped in China.
From the Canton, China, Times.

The seventh day OF the seventh, moon,
being the annual festival in honor of the
weaving girl and the cowboy, the patron
saints of lovers, many Canton homes
with daughters hold celebrations. Their
program usually consists of exhibiting
ernbroideries and other fancy articles tho
young ladies have made for the occasion,
music, worship of the god and goddess
OF love, and refreshments. Nowadays
the girls do mot take much interest IN
the festival, but they do enjoy the en-
tertainnaents. The celebrations are pri-
marily for young women. but most par
ents would be greatly disappointed il
some young men fsiends did not pay
them a visit.

Miles standish Was Manxman.

Evidence that Miles Standish was
Manxman and born into the Manx
family of Standish of Ellanbane, has
been discovered by the secretary Of
the Isle Of Man Antiquarian society.
The family Of Standish probably came
to Man with the Derby family in the
fifteenth century, 1t is stated, for there
is record that they held property
in the capital Of the island in the year
1911. This was seventy-three years
before Miles is supposed to have been
born.

American Dollar o. X.

From Financial Chronicle.
In letter answering communication
from someone who had given evidence
of his efforts to combat the tendency
to speak of a deprecated American dol
lar Secretary of the Treasury Glass
says:
have read with great interest and
pleasure your letters of January Z in
which you combat the tendency to speak
of deprecated American dollar. Your
letters are not only an evidence of prac-
tGal patriotism but they exhibit as well
good sense and clear thinking of stimu-
latin.y kind. ! am in hearty accord with
your view that the practice Of referring
to a 50-cent dollar is bad policy on the
part of our citizens and is provocative OF
an unhealthy spirit of discomfort. The
underlying assertion, moreover, is con-
trary to the facts There is nothing the
matter with the American dollar. Its
intrinsic value is unchanged, since our
currency in the main rests fundament-
ally on gold which, with unimportant eX-
ceptions, is the standard of value the
world over. Naturally, since gold is the
standard, its value cannot change. 1t is
the unchanging value by which the
value of all other commodities is meas
ured. The purchasing power of the
American dollar abroad, as indicate by
the current exchange rates for the cur
rencies of our European allies in the
war has since the beginning of the war
:'ccJ- decidedly Increased. Tho purchase
ing power of the dollar at home is mate
rally less than it was before the war for
the simple reason that the costs and
prices of labor and of most of the COM
nodities in common use have sharply
risen. The causes of the rise in prices
are not far to seek. They are primarily
the excess of demand over supply
coupled with the present tendency to
reckless spending and the apparent will
ingness OF many purchasers to pay with
out question whatever prices are asked

The failure of a. Mitchell Palmer
TO win the Democratic nomination for
president is laid by many Of his sup
porters to his activities in prosecut-
ing the profi,eers. They say that he
has made enemies among big bust
ness" not only in the Republican
party but within the Democratic party
itself. Criticism of Mr.. Palmer is not
confined alone 10 Republicans or big
business" but TO Democrats and the
small fry as well. The complaint
against Mr.. Palmer is not against his
accomplishments but his failures. He
has created great deal Of noise, and
stirred up much opposition to legiti-
mate business. but he has not made
good in most of his campaigns and has
utterly failed in others. Take the case
of the packers, to which Mr. Palmer
as we'll as The Advertiser seems to
be overly interested in. If Mr.. Palmer
had attempted to prove that the pack
crs are getting more !han their share
of this worlds goods and had sought
to make a more equal distribution of
these profits, he might rightly have
claimed share Of public praise. Your
and our share of the distribution
would have been very small. but that
lis beside the yOnt. Mr.. Palmer, how
ever. sought to lay at tie packers
doors the charge OF nrofitecring and
the high cost .: Ewing, charges he has
not made good III spite Of ali the ma
chinery Of the government which he
had at his back. The most that his
investigators have been able to prove
lis that the packers profits now are
about $5S,000,000 q year, a huge sum
to be sure but if divided among the
10000, 900 people Of the country does
not amount to so much after all. A
loss Of 30 cents year per person to
the packers certainly has no bearing
on the high cost Of living. The per-
sistence of Mr.. Palmer and his invcs-
tigators in bringing such unwarrantcd
charges against legitimate business
lost him the confidence Of large part
of the public and took away from him
whatever chances he had for the nom
ination.
