THEIR GREAT DRIVE

THEIR GREAT DRIVE
People who stop from their hurry
CT business long enough to think OF
these distraught times and where they
are pointing can not get very far from
Washington, the seat Of government
in the United States. For nearly a
year The United States senate has
been a center of unrest and strife
whose influence has been felt around
the entire globe. There is not wan in
America who knows more than
Henry Cabot Lodge. republican lead,
er. what that unrest is costing the
civilized world Every step. every
move, every stroke is made with that
knowledge glowing and burning at
white heat. but it is burning and glow
ing with an admiXume of an ignOmin-
ious red light of revenge,-and God
only knows what those nations that
suffered and sacrificed long and faith
fully to defeat Germany must yet suf-
fer and sacrifice to pay for that pro
gram in Washington-Itha Republ-
can drive to wipe out Democratic con
troll of national politics.
When President Wilson went to
Paris. he was bent upon making the
terms of the peace treaty without re
publican assistance. 1t was mistake
no matter what the past record of the
two parties. The republican leaders
should have been given a voice at the
peace table and there on their own
brain and craftsmanship Wilson
should have sealed their mouths for
ever as to the principles that shall
guide in the future. We say that be
cause the republicans are part Oft
this republic. men, brain, statesman
ship, intelligence, policy and all
They helped win the war-if they
have untitled all their patriotism in
thCi1 1,,;,,
They should have been at the peace
table.
Wilson'S mistake does not justify
wrecking governmental institutions
as they affect the entire world for
the future They do not justify wreck
ing the peace treaty and overurningI
reconstruction programs. Red revenge
is not the right answer 1t is costing
us another war with the enemy. 1t is
destroying stability OF government
not here alone, but throughout the
world. 1t is blasting the hope of an
early return to peace wherever the
sun shines! These are the prices the
world is paying for the republican
drive in Washington for a return to
power in American politics!
In the House of Commons the other
day Former Premier Asquith of Eng
land told his hearers that the league
OF nations would be Il wohbly thing
without support froA the United
States. He believed the people of the
United States generally supported
the league and brought it
fairly out in his interview
that as great English leader
he thought the republican fight in the
United States senate had made all the
trouble. In France that idea prevails
In Japan it is the same. The blame
is laidat the door of those who are in
the lead of the great republican drive
for power!

Yesterday afternoon I had what
 call the pleasure of witnessing one oi ! the most good -natured incidents that i ever befell in my humble presence,
 said Charles w. Rogers. T was stand ing on the corner of Third avenue and Twenty-first street when 8 young fel- low carelessly collided with a pedes- trian making crossing at that point, knocked him down, and then fell for- ward himself over the bars of the wheel. while the wheel proceeded to add insult to injury by falling heavily on the aforesaid pedestrian. Well, what do you think the fellow did who got knocked down. Probably you think that he got up and landed the young knight of the bicycle q well deserved punch for his very evident carelessness. We'll he didn't. He got up, pulled hiin- self together. helped up the boy who knocked him over and who seemed to be taking his own fall pretty hard, picked up the wheel handed it to him, and pursued his chase for the Highland avenue car, which was now at the crossing. He barely did catch 1t. Tll say that such man makes me almost believe in nearly approaching millen- nium.''

| Considerable help was rendered 10 the opponents of Pittsburg Plus in
 the recent hearings of the federal trade commission by the intervention of the American Farm Bureau federation, the Farmers National Grain Dealers asso-
 citation and the National Livestock ship pers' association said C. l.. Harold of
 the Civic associations.
 ! An extended brief in behalf .of these big organizations was filed by | Clifford Thorne, a Chicago attorney, I pointing out the unequal burden i'm posed by the Pittsburg passing point practice upon the farming and related commercial interests of the west and south, in contrast to the farming sec tion contiguous to the eastern steel
 mills It is urged that discrimination | is thus practiced by charging price for steel going into machinery and other articles purchased by farmers represented by the fictitious freight haul from Pittsburg to destination. in stead of the actual haul on the steel from the nearby mills at Birmingham, Chicago and Duluth. The question at the present time is largely legal one, as, in order to get relief from the trade commission, there must be a prima facie showing that the steel interests are violating either the Clayton antitrust law or the trade commission act. We look for a decision within 30 or 60 days"

V American Dollar Is
 Buying More Coods

1r1HE American dollar is undouht- U edly buying much more than it did this time year ago. The dol lar is now worth from $1.25 to $1.50 compared to last December. This should solace those who must sell their products at lower prices.
 Careful analysis of prices charged in the commissary of large indus trial concern shows that what it's employees require costs the worker less by AS per cent than last year. This finding is based on the cost of the goods wholesale and the customary margins of profit. In making the comparison the same goods and the same system of calculating were con sidered.
 Many men are going to shut their eyes to every other financial item

 If a messenger makes excuses for being late. the retort is: "Tha'rt rect chap to send for sorrow = tha'rt So long uppo' tn road"
 The man who is asked if he could drink a pint invariably replies: "Ay, bud cud drink quart better"
 Brevity is not only the soul of Lan- cashire wit, but also of Lancashire business. It is said that two mer- chants, perhaps jointly worth million or two, will meet on the Manchester Cotton exchange, and that this will be their conversations: 'Mornin'w Morn in'! "OwtY' "Nowt. Morning. Morn inp'

Olive Schreiner, Author
 of Forgotten, Best Seller''

s1T0tERE is one book that used to be
 U found on the shelves of all sec ond-hand book stores. It is "The Story of An African Farm" by Olive Schreiner. Years ago "The Story of An African Farm" was in the "best seller" class, but the author outlived her popularity, as many other writers have done before her, and the an- nouncement of her death in London will come as surprise to many peo- pie who supposed her dead long ago.
 Mrs. Schreiner championed the cause of the Boers and was at one time in high disfavor with the Brit ish government. Her best known work was the result of her intimate acquaintance with the life of the Boers in South Africa, where she was born at solitary mission station. Her father was a German who was sent to Africa by the London Missionary society. Her mother was an English woman.
 "The Story of An African Farm" was begun when Mrs. Schreiner was still scarcely more than child" although she was not quite as young as the celebrated Daisy Asford. She did not finish it for many years, but when it was published it quickly made her famous, and with good reason. It is the kind of book that stands alone, describing a phase of life that no one else has ever written about with equal success.
 Toward the close of her career Mrs. Schreiner delved into politics and feminism, dry subjects, at best, and little suited to retain a popularity that was already fading. She married s. c. Cronwright, writer and legisla- tor, who paid his distinguished wife the compliment of taking her name.

League Supporters
 Welcomed at Marion

7 F we discount the presence of Col. J George Harvey at Marion, who is bitterly opposed to the League of Nations, the most significant feature of Mr. Harding's conferences with Heading minds" is the preference he has shown for prologue advocates.
 Such men as MT. Root and Hr. Hoover are. in a position to plead strongly for modified League of Nations which will permit America to join. Since MT. Harding probably has as high a regard for the ability of these gentlemen as most of his fellow citizens, their counsel will doubtless have much weight in shap- ing his foreign policy.
 At present the prospect is bright for the salvage of the league. MT. Harding and the republican party are committed to some kind of interna- tional association. The groundwork of that association already exists. Prolonged negotiations with European governments could be prevented by adopting notifications that will meet the approval of prologue repub- licans and democrats. The demo- cratic minority will not unite with re- publican "irreconcilables" to hamper MT. Harding. There is an evident de- termination among the leaders of both parties to work together in solving this problem. Such a spirit augurs we'll >for the future.
 Lord Grey has said that America can enter the league on her own terms. That seems to be the attitude of the European nations who realize that the league cannot exist without the United States.
