slogan. TO be shorter than three
words, only ONE word.
The three-word slogan is Peace,
Progress. Prosperity"
That's a neat political bromide,
not exactly a slogan"
The single word Improvement on
Peace, Progress, Prosperity" is
the trick word "COXSURE."
. That would be a better slogan with
two words put in front of it,
Don't be Coxsure."
The New York World says, "Big
business for war" 1t .intimates
that big business wants war, there
fore the Republican party is
against the Peace League.
What about the New York
Evening Post, owned by Mr.. La
mont, of the firm Of j. Pierpont
Morgan & Co., supporting Cox and
the Peace League?
1t isn't natural for q J. Pier
pont Morgan newspaper to sup
port the Democratic party. But to
REALLY big finance, the Peace
League this year Is more impof-
tant than party.
Big business now is WORLD
business. A Peace League that
would make it the business of the
United States to act as guarantor
and collecting agent for the enter
prises of big business in foreign
lands would be convenient. The
New York Times also is big busi-
ness paper. 1t wants Peace
League.
1t WOULD. be convenient for
big business, but it won't be, for
there won't be any Peace League.
Write that on your tablets.
Lloyd George has decided that
Archbishop Mannix, from Aus
tralia, must not land in England
or Ireland because of speeches
made in America.
1t Is surprising to see the Eng
lish backing away from the boast
ed free speech.
In ENGLAND you can say about
what you please, but you must not
do it in America.
AS for Archbishop Mannix, he did
not seem such a ferocious person
when, the other day, he spent half
an hour in the Office Of this writer,
studying American methods OF
newspaper production. He said
simply that the English would have
to do something about Ireland, or
get into serious trouble, and so
they will.
Archbishop Mannix sails on the
Baltic tomorrow, anyhow, perhaps
to complete the record.
england has power to keep me
from landing" says he, but not
to keep me from going"

Frau Meyer is spending her honey
moon at Zurich with Fritz Meyer,
her husband. Fritz formerly was
the chauffeur of Prince August
Wilhelm, son of the ex-kaiser,
and Frau Meyer was formerly the
wife of that same Prince August
Wilhelm, therefore daughter-in-
law of the ex-Kaiser. Stripped Of
power, uniform, and medals, royal
ty loses its charms. The descend
ant of the ancient Hohenzollern
family of money lenders looks
much like anybody else, even his
own chauffeur, after an unsuccess-
full war.
The question for Americans is
this:
How soon will this nation, it's
young men. and its money be en-
gagged in another big war?
Western Europe feels that it
must, at any cost, hold back Rus
sia and stop the effect of Russian
propaganda, preaching of Bolshe-
vism throughout Europe.
| Russia does not mean to be
stopped, declares without mincing
words that destruction of "capi-
talism" everywhere, including the
executing OF as many rich men as
possible, is the program mapped
out,
Millions In Germany are said to
feel that the way out Of national
bankruptcy Is to join with Russia,
repudiate the Versailles treaty,
with it's indemnity that would put
a tax on German children unborn,
take back the confiscated iron
mines and coal mines; in short,
throw in Germany's lot with the
new idea from Russia.
There Is even suggestion of an
alliance Of Russia, Poland, and
Germany, with Turkey, Bulgaria,
Austria, and various dissatisfied
fragments added.
1t is not a pleasant situation,
with the constant conquering ef-
forts OF Russia proving how much
power lies back of Bolshevism,
and how stupidity the Statesmen"
of this country misjudge it.

tions are going to pieces, enthusi-
