Hoover aAd the Nations Industries.

7 Whether Herbert Hoover is nominated for
president or not, he has made clear his position
on one of the great questions of the day. He
is opposed to the Naturalization" of industry.
mo scheme of political appointment" says Mr..
Hoover "has ever yet been devised that will re-
place competition in its selection of ability and
character" And this is the very element on
which the successful management of business
of any magnitude depends. 1t is in no sense
derogatory to the politician, whose peculiar
qualifications may be given the recognition
they deserve, but the young man who IS build
ing up his career in connection with great in
dustral enterprise seldom if ever has either
time or inclinations to master the intricacies Of
politics alongside the details of his business
Occasionally a gifted individual combines the
two, but such instapces are rare. Aside from
these considerations, the greater danger lies in
the further fact that very often political exgen.
cies, or expedents are diametrically opposed to
sound business policy. This has been very we'll
illustrated in our experience with the railroads
under government management Political rather
than economic conditions have controlled, and
the muddle that has resulted will remain to
haunt the business world for many a moon to
come. Mr., Hoover's s-basic proposition is one
that has the approval of the ages.

Frances Tenth ( President.

Inauguration of Paul Deschane as tenth
president of the Republic of France is sig
nifcant Of something more than the mere po-
litical succession. The event marks the fur
ther continuance of form of government that
has endured for almost half century, and thus
convinces the observer that the French people
have found the means by which their own at
fairs may be conducted to suit them. Between
1889 and 1871 French affairs were in continual
turmoil, one form of government succeeding
other, through all the gradations from the com.
mune, through the republic, the empire, the abb
solute monarchy, another republic and so On,
until under the Third empire the hereditary
institution of government in France crumbled
under Prussian power and the present re-
public arose from the ashes of the commune
that followed the empire but could not live.
Students of history always turn with rever-
to the pages that tell of the first four years
of the present Republic of France. In them is
firmly enshrined the aspirations of great people
for self lfgovernment. During those four years the
national character of the French blossoned and
brought forth the fruit Of liberty. Problems in
herited from older days were solved, new
birth of freedom was enjoyed. and France
moved forward to place that monarch
had ever been able to achieve, because its
destiny was borne by its people. Tested in the
late war more cruelty and completely than can
be understood yet, the French showed stead
fastness that holds the greatest promise for
the future.
Herbert Adams Gibbons sees in France the
salvation of Europe. Just as the French are
strong. so will the continental governments en-
dure and the nations prosper. And France will
recover from its terrible experience, its genius
will arise above the clouds of the present, and
expanding as the years go on, will show the
world the glory of character that can endure

Hopeful Industrial Erperim ents

Almost every day the news dispatches con-
tain reports of new or improved schemes of
proht-sharing copartnership, industrial de-
mocracy," labor councils, labor representation
on directorates, offers of stock to employees on
partial payment plans, and so on Some of these
schemes may develop weaknesses and suggest
notifications All are morally promising They
demonstrate the determination of employers
and managers, and intelligent labor leaders, to
work out a sane, worthy solution of a great
problem.
A scheme truly unique and calculated to at
tract wide attention is that announced by the
Harvard Knitting Mills of Wakefield, Mass In
addition to the familiar features of profit
sharing agreement, this scheme contains an ar
rangement by which the employees are to bear
in equal proportion with the frm any losses
that may result from the operation of the busi-
ness.
The employees thus become partners Of their
employers. They will receive half of the net
profits, and will assume half of any net loss
Only one-half of the employees share of the
profits will be paid over in cash; the other half
will be credited to them as their collective in
vestment in the business. Ultimately the en-
ployes may thus acquire majority of the
stock The agreement, in fact contemplates this
possibility and provides for it-Chicago News

Johnny Bull and the Pussyfooters.

A protest that is deep and loud enough to
be heard across the water is going up in Great
Britain over tthe invasion of the prohibition
workers from Yankeeland. The liquor inter-,
ests of the tight little island feel an apprehensive
dread of the presence of the pussyfooters, who
are becoming more numerous and aggressive.
That cocksure attitude that marked the course
of brewers and distillers in America does not
characterize the opposition to the dry wave
over there. The plan takes the form of in
dignation at the intrusion, resentment of the
presumption manifest in a movement from
abroad to regulate the habits of the native
Briton. As matter of fact it does smack of
impudence, but Americans who have become
somewhat accustomed to being told what is
good for them by the reformers who make it
their business to meddle in and adjust other
folks affairs, will understand that the work
now under way is not to be hushed up by mere
words of protest. When the camel sets his head
in a particular direction, he is very likely to
travel that way, and Englishmen may as we'll
make up their minds to facethe fact. The drys
are after them, and there is only one end 1to
that war. $50

There is food for thought in the fact that
in the big increase in imports from Europe in
1919, as compared with the figures for 1918, the
greater part consisted of luxuries There was
all told, an increase of about 100 per cent in
the amount of imports coming from Great
Britain, France and Italy. But laces, diamonds,
old works of art and similar commodities ac-
counted for most of this increase. OF diamonds
and precious stones four times as many were
imported in 1919 as in 1918; old pictures had "a
triple increase.
This does not show healthfu condition of
affairs. Yet it must be remembered that Amer
leans, who produce such great quantity of
the necessaries of life for. themselves, have al
ways been large importers Of luxuries. 1t is
also to be remembered that the comparison
between l9lo and 1918 is not normal COM
parison; 1918 was year of war, and 1919 was
year OF reconstruction. Notwithstanding these
two facts, we cannot regard last years showing
as satisfactory.-Buffalo Express

The Day of the Ultimate
Consumer

"The expected European demand did not de-
velop." This is the explanation given for the sud-
den dumping on the local market of cold-storage
eggs bought at 50 c..ts dozen and IL oifered
wholesale as low as II cents.
1t is good enough explanation as far as it
goes for other swift downward turns in COM

butter, cotton The list is long one already
and is likely to become much longer and deeper
in its price-cuts before we are through with the
late wild speculative scramble for the utmost

The foreign exchange market continues to tell
the story of why that European demand did

more money borrowed from the United States,
and when it appeared that the United States
itself was so far inflated and extended in credit

FACE MASSAGE AND HAIR
CULTURE
BY BARBARA BOOTH

in 1 ounce of glycerine and add
pint of water. These ingredients
cost little at any druggists, and they
will make more than a pint of mas
sage cream, that will aid inremoving
wrinkles, give. the complexion a
clear, velvety appearance and re-
move roughness.
For Dandruff.
If you are losing your hair
prompt action should be taken,
otherwise badness or partial bald
ness may ensue. The scalp should
be properly massaged, then apply a
good hair tonic. In massaging the
scalp do not let the finger tips slip
along the scalp, but make the scalp
move on the skull, back and forth,
and in circles.
Here is a simple mixture which
you can make at home that will
quickly remove dandruff, aid the
growth of the hair and in prevent
ing it from falling out. Merely dis
solve / dram of powdered sanocide
in 3 ounces of bay rum and add
ounces of water. These ingredients
can be bought at any druggists at
little cost, and mixed at home. APP
ply to the scalp once day after
properly massaging. This mixture
is not only a stimulant and astrin-
gent. but it is a very powerful ger.
micidal agent, and dandruff cannot
exist where it is applied. The hair
will stop falling out and dandruff
disappear within one to three days
after beginning its use.
For Gray Hair.
AS to- gray, streaked or faded hair,
you can gradually darken it with
this simple homemade mixture: To
u pint of water add ounce of bay
rum, small box of Barbo Com
pound and 4 ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any druggists at little cost and
mixed at home. Apply to the hair
every other day until it becomes the
required shade. This is not a. dye,
does not color the scalp, is not
sticky or greasy, and does not rub
off. 1t gradually darkens the hair,
and there are no quick, embarrass-

MADoo's NOTION OF A CONVENTION.

The letter written by William Gibbs
McAdoo to the mayor OF Milledgevile is
likely to enegender quite as much debate in
democratic circles as the one sent by the presi-
dent to the Jacksonan dinner. 1t is another
direct and Unavoidable challenge to William
Jennings Bryan.
Expressing himself as reluctant to doing any
thing that would give the impression that he
was seeking the nomination, and distinctly de-
clning to allow his name to go on any presi-
Dental preference primary ballot the late sec
retary of the treasury goes little further. He
also asks that the delegates who go to San
Francisco be sent there uninstructed. further
than to act for the good of the nation He
would likewise abolish the unit rule. Mr..
Bryan, on the contrary, wants convention
made UP of instructed delegates. He not only
favors expression of choice for candidates at
the primary, but he would like to see chosen
y only. such men or women as will subscribe to
his views. He is early in the field with an out
line of what he expects to put into the plat
form, and naturally looks to the primary tlec-
tons to receive endorsement for these views.
1t is not easy to dissocate Mr.. McAdoo from
the administration. He has made no effort to
further his political fortune. through his rela-
tionship with Woodrow Wilson, but those who
know him we'll are assured of his loyalty to the
president, personally and politically. There
fore. it is reasonable to suppose that the OBJ
lection to an instructed convention has in it
some sanction from the White House.
AS for the value of Instructions, Mr.. Bryan
gave luminous example at Baltimore. He was
casting the vote of Nebraska for Champ Clark
under instructions from the democratic voters.
At the moment when it seemed that Clark
would be nominated, Mr.. Bryan broke away and
eventually turned the tide to Wilson. The
McAdoo idea of an old-fashioned gathering,
where the bargains are all made on the ground,
does not square with Mr.. Bryan's slogan, but
will give the brethren something to talk about.
