Florida. senators Dat and Smith of South Carolina. or Senator Glass of Nir- giEia. But he has not inclined his heart and ear to sucn counsel.
 Those democrats whom he has invited to confer with him are as bitterly op- posed to the League of Nations as Ses- ators Borah and Johnson-more bitterly opposed than he himself is Mir. Bryan has attempted to checkmate the Pres ident since the day Congress was asked to declare war agaipsc Germany. EIe was so much in favor of the republican majority of the Senate having it's way respecting the League of Nations that he advised the democrats to sneak out of the Senate, and permit the republican majority to transform itself into a two- thirds majority. In the democratic con- vention, when he could not have his way in the preparation of a platform and the nomination of a candidate he declared his heart in the grave, and refused to assist in the campaign of the nominee of the party.
 BITTERNESS OF REED
 Senator Reed became enpbittered against the President in the beginning ~f his first administration when he refused to let Reed have his way in the dis persation of patronage. The Mssourian imm lately entered the warpath He was intense in his hatred of Herbert Hoover, whom the President appointed food administrator. He developed into d practical obstructionst of war enter prises And no sooner had the President declared in favor of d League of Nations than he allied himself with the repub- licans who were determined for politica.

Solution of today's economic problems is by no
means a one-sided affair. On the contrary the So
luton has several sides. 1t has been pointed out
here that production is one of them. But there are
others.
Workingmen are realizing that production to
the fullest capacity is needed to bring economic
conditions to normal level. But what will be &C
complished toward arriving at the end desired if
the hoarder and the arbitrary increaser of prices
continue to follow their unholy tendencies? This
question is being asked by workingmen and it is
apparent that the question permits of bat an

WORK IN IDLENESS

"They teach us to do different
kinds of things that We can do with
out hurting ourselves. They call 1t
vocational herapy.' whatever that
MEANS" wrote a tubercular patient
to his friends at home.
The idea of Industrial training for
tubercular patients Is not new. One
of the most discouraging phases of
work among these cases has been
that all too often after leaving the
sanatorium, they have been forced by
financial necessity to return to the
old living and working conditions
which first fastened the disease up
on them.
1t Is only OF late, however, that the
work has progressed rapidly. The
gained along such lines as
a resultyof the war has given it great
impetus.
East and west, the great institu-
tions and societies for the aid Of the
tuberculosis are adopting suitable vo-
cational training as part of their
treatment. AS soon as the patients
health will permit, the more modern
institution sets about fitting him for
some work which he may do safely.
The work is doubly blessed. 1t
means q livelihood and the best pos
sible chance for permanent health az
ter the patient leaves the cure; and
during the period Of treatment IL
substitutes light, pleasureable EN-
ployment for the long hours of idle.

active'minded patient fed that he
would rather die Of tuberculosis than

UNFAIR 70 MAJORITY

Among other measures to equalize
the distribution of sugar, authorities
having the matter in charge are ask
ing that big manufacturing and busi-
ness concerns shall stop buying sugar
in quantities for distribution among
their employees They urge that this
proceeding has become so general
that there Is serious DETECTION OF
the supply from its natural channels
TO q few persons, and this makes 1t
harder for the legitimate dealer and
keeps market prices up.
There can be no doubt of the JUS
tice of this plea. Every housewife
who has had repeatedly the expert
ence Of applying to her grocer for su.
gar only to be informed that there is
none on the market, and who knows
that at the same time her neighbor
has just received 100 pounds through
some factory or Industrial channel
not open to her, knows that the prac-
tice, easing the few, Is unjust to the
majority. 1t is all the more SO because
the individuals who have been able
to obtain the quantity supply do not
content themselves with that, re-
framing from further drains upon the
open market. They go on taking from
the grocer's limited store, and max.
ing life harder for the ones who have
no access to the big supply.
The charge that the American
housewife is the hoarder who is max
ing sugar scarce is not true. The fact
that there is a supply which can be
tapped by big private concerns shows
that plainly enough. But every bit OF
private, Industrial greed complexities
matters.
The authorities seeking the real OF.
tenders are painfully slow, but the
more their work is complicated by
private action, the slower 1t will be.
Restoration Of a steady now of sugar
ut fair price through the natural
channels will not be fastened by
abOrtive cooperative buying.

ECONOMY ABROAD

Tho United States, In such econo
my as II entered upon In these last
few weeks, Is not leading the rest of

unions have stopped asking for wage
increases and are making concerted
effort To lower prices. All over Eu
rope people are exercising more care
In buying. A similar tendency is no
ticeable, In Latin America, which has
less reason than Europe for practic-
ing thrift.
A noticeable result OF this cosmit

UNNECESSARY VACATION

Once upon time man decided
that he did not need any vacation, so
he stopped taking them. When there
came lull in his business he took on
outside employment, and he Dragged
to his friends of his imperviousnesa
to fatigue. Whenever one of them
began to plan for the annual fishing
or camping trip he would say, 81 have
not had vacation In seven years.
Not SO bad, is it?"
Now, if his friends were truthful
instead of tolerant, they would tell
him that II Is just as bad as 1t can
possibly be; that in the seven years,
while he has increased his labors, he
has not increased his income apprec-
iably; that from one of the most equ-
able of human beings he has become
irritable and petty; that sense OF
humor SO delicate, yet SO Comprehen'
sive. that 1t was n daily delight to all
who knew him. has disappeared en-
tirely: that he magniles casual re
marks into studied insults, and the
ordinary rieoccupation of people IN
their own affairs into deliberate neg
lect OF him; that his wife has grown
to hate him and is considering di
vorce, and his children. who used tC
adore him as the finest playfellow In
the world, tolerate him as a peevisf
bore who has to be paciiied until hi
gets out of the huose.
