1t is not true that under our eco
nomic and social system "the rich are
getting richer and the poor poorer
On the contrary, the diffusion of
wealth has been going on apace; the
trend of things. within the past 20
years has been greatly toward dimin-
lshing the difference In the standard
and general way of living between the
various categories of our population.
And our wealthiest men are not those
who Inherited their possessions, but
those who started at the bottom of the
ladder. The eternal law of compensa-
ton works in mysterious ways, writes
Otto I'll. Kahn in Leslie's. 1t Is I'M
~questionably a fact that II is not the
children OF the rich to whom life
yields the greatest measure of JOY and
satisfaction and reward.

ALL Is NOT GOLD
THAT GLITTERS

Newspaper men of a certain class
assert, and have asserted since the
fear One, that a farmer is the most
Independent man on earth, and that
ne has nothing to do but enjoy life.
Perhaps if the farmer didn't do any
nore farming than the newspaper
nan knows about. his job would be

some of him-appears to believe that
when winter comes on and the biz
zard is on the wing, the farmer
casts his feet in the oven and reads
he local paper. the only thing to
'isturb him being a call three times
day to a banquet of mince pie and
9ther Injuries.
We had been thinking for some
inc hat this stuff was all wrong,
nd to prove it we asked a we'll
nown rancher, whom we met on the
treets of Winnemucca a few days
ago, for an opinion on the subject.
bout as nearly as we can remem-
er the rancher's reply, it was some
think like this:

THE HORNS
OF A DILEMMA

1t would appear from the ecent
Greek election that someone had put
the ICON" IN Constantine. There is
some talk now to the effect that the
allies, particularly Great Britain, will
oppose Constantine's re-entry into
Greece. despite the fact that his party
has been victorious in the general
elections. How this attitude can be
made to square with the perfervid
preachments of Europe and Mr.. Will
son in favor of self-determination will
be interesting to note.
1t is one thing to criticize and con-
denim the Greeks for repudiating
V~enizelos, one of the greatest of the
modern statesmen Of Europe, and the
man who restored Greece to the map;
but it is quite another thing to exer-
else external coercion to thwart the
Greek will as expressed by ballot
and at the same time retain the peace
treaty and the sentiment which is
supposed to have created the League
of Nations inviolate. But England is
clever at this sort of thing. Fortu-
nately, we are not. in the coming muss.

OUR BIRTH RATE NORMAL.

The census bureau, on the strength
of registered returns, gives figures to
show that the birth rate In the United
States exceeds the death rate by one
third. which is n gratifying fact. We
are not one Of the nations that need
be anxious on this vital point as Tar
as the present conditions are con-
cerned. One of the most serious trOu-
bles In France is the warning In its
ensuses that In som years more OF
Its Inhabitants die than are born.
Some of its ~neighbors grow much fast
er in population. This disparity was
somewhat noticed In the past. yet with
out fully realizing the terrible men
ace involved. The desolate towns and
farms of France are a monument to
the old census admonitlons and the
awful sacrifice of young French man
hood is far more dreadful than the
devastation, says st. Louis Globe
Democrat. often have the public men
Of France sounded an alarm on the
defective birth rate. II is much dis
cussed now by thoughtful French leg
lslators and writer's. A census always
demands intelligent study. The United
States grows by immigration as well
as births, and our school system tends
TO A~mericanize the whole body Of citi-
zenship. Our schools are a great
melting pot for Americans of the fu-
ture and to Increase their proportion
ate number. Tire welfare of children
is a great national issue. The birth
rate and death rate need continued at
tention.
