Rack TO Peace Tasks.

The closing of the Remington rife
plant near Chester day or two ago re-
calls what a mighty force the United
States brought to the Allies when even
tually we went TO war. The huge plant,
in its brief career, turned out more than
ff1 million rifles that were sent to the men
in the trenches on the other side, and since
the close Of the factory following close
upon the armistice 2,l00 carloads Of guns
have been shipped TO the various arsenals
Of this country. The men and women
working at rush speed at the big plant in
the height Of its activity equalled almost
a division Of the German army-l7, ,5Or-
and these produced 65 per cent Of the guns
used by the United States soldiers against
the foe. The Delaware river section con-
tributed more than any other part Of the
country TO the defeat o. the Hun. With
the manufacture of most Of the guns,
used bv our doughboys at Eddystone, and
with large percentage Of the powder used
against the enemy made in Delaware and
on the opposite side Of the river in New
Jersey and with two shipyards working
on vessels for the war here this section was
a verltable beehive Of war industry With
a prolongation of the war until the big
shlpvards and plants along the Delaware
got 20 full swing. the contributions OF
this par of the country would have been
enormous. However much elated we may
feel over our contributions to the world

Harding and his party. Amerlca, went

Wilson. Where has America been put by
MIR. Harding and the other Republican
Senators?
The puerilitv Of the Republican de-
nunciations OF the League Is apparent
on the least reflection, but MIR. Harding
does not reflect and his associates do not
reflect. They take It for granted that no
body reflects. The obligations which the
peace treaty would impose upon US have
already been assumed by the other nations

CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN GAME.

To consumers there viii be some con-
ISOLATION in the discontinue OF large hold
ers of sugar who have overplayed their
hands and find that they cannot realize
the huge profits that they had confident
" expected. A downward turn IN prices,
with increased supplies from abroad, did
not enter into their calculations.
The soft-drink and candy manufa cturers
among Others who loaded up on sugar at
anv plice and overstocked their store
houses. in the belief that they could sell
at big advance any surplus that they
might have, are learning lesson. 1t has
come as a painful surprise to them that
there is still such thing as natural law
and that its operation cannot be lndefi-
niteIy suspended at the viii of food-specu-
lators and monopolists.
Now they are not only caught with
large quantities of sugar that they do not
need and are trying to unload, but sugar
is pouring in here from quarters on which
they had not counted for further supplies.
The situation produced as result OF an
artificial scarcity and excessively high
prices is gradually working out its own
remedy.
People who set themselves above the
established laws of trade and nature never
acquire wisdom so surely as through their
pockets. The horde of American sugar
grabbers who raided the market few
months ago were cocksure then that they
were not taking even a gambler S chance

has reached the conclusion that sovietism
in the working is ''rotten
Here is a confession by Emma Gold
man that every assailant Of the existing
order in America should read, note and
inwardly digest:
1--WE always knew the Marian theory
was impossible, a breeder OF tyranny.
We blinded ourselves TO its faults in
Ameri a because we believed it might
accomplish something. I've been here
four months now, and I've seen what it
has accomplished. There is no health in
it. The State of Socialism or State OF
Capitalism-call it what you will-has
done for Russia what it will do for every
country. 1t has taken away even the lit
tie freedom the man has under individual
capitalism and has made him entirely
subject to the whims of a bureaucacy
which excuses its tyranny on the ground
it all is done for the welfare of the work
ers."
There are still persons in America, of
both foreign and native origin who imagine
that by the waving of the magic wand Of
sovietism every form of tyranny, poverty
and economic inequality will be banished
from the earth.
Could recantation be more complete
or better for the soul of the most violent
advocate of Utopia founded upon force?

SUFFRAGE IN TENNESSEE.

Former Justice Charles Evans Hughes
is convinced that ratification OF the Fed
eral Woman Suffrage Amendment by the
present Tennessee State Legislature would
be valid. The effect of his opinion may
be decisive. Not only is he pre-emlnently
qualified to pass Judgment on the abstract
merits of the question, but in the existing
circumstances his opinion should carry
great weight with the Tennessee Legs
lature.
The main issue in Tennessee at present
seems 10 be whether favorable action by
the State Legislature would hold good
in the face of the restrictions imposed upon
the Legislatures powers by the state
Constitution. The recent decision OF the
United States Supreme Court IN the Ono
referendum case, in Mr.. Hughes's mind,
disposes Of all doubts on that point, and
other leading legal authorities agree with
him.
Gov. Roberts has already announced
that he will call a special session OF the
Legislature for August 9. The fate Of the
Federal Suffrage Amendment will then
rest in its hands In view Of the fact that
this same Legislature only last year granted
to the women of Tennessee Presidential
and municipal suffrage, the prospects APP
near excellent that Tennessee viii take
rank as the thirty-sixth State TO ratiiy.-

Prohibition and Borrowing.

Strong confirmation of the effect OF
nrohibition in banishing poverty and
promoting prosperity among the working
classes is offered by the record of the
money-lending agencies throughout the
country.
A. tho convention Of the National
Federation Of Remedial Loan Associations
In Newark reports from constituent bodies
revealed a remarkable change in the bor-
rowing habits of the people. This change
IS indicated IN the following excerpt from
The reports of the convention:
srWhen formerly, delegates said. the
.ecrritv offered at loan offices consisted OF
, little furniture, kitchen utensils and
n,her home necessities, men and women
now are offering as security lewelry, or
even automobiles. Hitherto the ma
ioritv of the loans were TO carry desti-
tute family over some crisis. Now, more
often than not, they are for the purpose OF
n home or a plot of ground.
The closing Of the saloon and the ban
.hmcnt Of the destructive commodity
which il dispensed have produced results
that are readily visible even to the casual
eve. They have put an end to the out
aow over the till Of money that was
needed for food, clothing and the COM
lorts az life at home. The national WILL
as exprcsscd by the eighteenth amend
ment. has diverted this current to ITS
legitimate channel, the home.
The man who formerly borrowed
money 10 relieve distress at home-distresS
caused by selfish indulgence and inca
nacity for works now relieved OF th'
oeccs-itv for such borrowing. He does
not have 10 pledge the household furniture

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Guest
THE GENTLEMAN.

Within an elevator he
Is gcntlcmanly AZ can be,
He'll doff his hat, il women fair
BY chance with him are riding there:
He'll prove by almost every test
His breeding is the very best
Yet when he drives his motor oar
Most horrible his manners are.
He viii not crowd you in train,
Nor jostle you place to gain,
In church he'll step aside till you
Are comfortably in your pew.
He'd count it disgrace complete
II he should step upon your feet)--
Yet in his motor car he plays
The hog in several different ways.
He'll cut in where he has no right
And chuckle at your show of fright,
The strangest conduct he'll reveal
When he is Mt the steering wheel:
Though otherwise he will admit
Your right to walk or stand or sit,
Out on the road he thinks that he
Alone has any right to be.
He'll almost take \ fender off,
And then look back at you and scof
Your peace of mind he'll oft disturb
BY orowding you into the curb,
Even the women will not find
This driver courteous and kind
Oh, gentleman, whoe' 'er you are,
Why don't you be one in your car?

The League Plank Amendment.

The San Francisco Convention yester-
day amended the origina. League OF Ma
tions plank with re-emphasis on the point
that there shall be no changes that shall
in the slightest degree affect the operations
Of the covenant rs it was sent to the OBJ
durate Senate by the President.
The change that was accepted clarifics
the purport Of the provisions applying to
the application of the Monroe Doctrine.
Il detracts not an iota from the Presi-
dents position in this direction, but
rather adds emphasis to it.
The change in the plank WIS offered
by Senator Walsh of Massachusetts,
which reads:
"After the words in the Virginia
plank. we recommend ratification OF
the Treaty of Versailles and the League
of Nations Covenant without reservations
which would impair its essential integ-
rity.' Walsh had this phase inserted But
we do not oppose reservations which
make more clear or specific our obllga-
tions to the associated nations.
MIR. Walsh's antagonism to the Presl-
dent. or rather his insistence that the
United States take up the cause OF Irish
freedom, cheered the foes of the President
into believing that the control OF the
convention had been wrested from the
administration friends, but the latter
point out that MIR. Wilson has always
expressed willingness to accept Just
such interpretative reservations as MIR.
Walsh's.
1t is we'll for the people to not be-
come confused on this point, and TO not
overlook the fact that the administration
position on the treaty has been wholly
upheld by the convention and that the
convention is absolutely controlled by the
