 Those who have talent and the oppor tunity to put that talent into practical use ought to begin now; for the very minute you begin that same minute suc cess is waiting for you.
 Dozens and dozens of women of whom the world never hears are sitting com tortably by their own firesides today, earning as much money as those women who are out tussling and worrying with this great, big, old, hard, cold, unsym- pathetic world.
 Many a woman has made her sewing basket, her crochet needle, her knit. ting needle, her talent for making pre- serves and jams and biscuits and pick les, earn her big income.
 There's a sort of protected" feeling about staying at home and working That you don't find anywhere else.
 You aren't in the public eye, the tar get for criticism and unkind comment and the brusqueness and coldness of men who usually treat woman who works like a fellow laborer-sort of a man in petticoats.

for his most productive performance
can be made by some superimposed bu-
reaucracy. i
My emphatic conclusion from all
these observations is therefore, that
socialism as philosophy of possible
human application Is bankrupt.
The paramount business Of every
American today is the business Of
finding solution to these issues.
but this solution must he found by
Americans, in practical American
way, based upon American ideals, on
American philosophy of life.
Again wish to repeat, the obser-
walton Of these forces in Europe has
reinforced my Americanism during
these last ten months Of intimate
contact with them. 1t has revealed
to me the distance of our departure
from the political, social and eco
nolnic ideal of Europe. There has
grown in the United States higher
sense of justice. of neighborly SER
vice. of self sacrifice. and, above az.
Ia willingness to abide by the will Of
the majority in every section OF this
community"
Mr.. Barnes asserted that Herbert
Hoover was genuinely DESTROYS of
placing his ability. experience and
effort in the public service without
thought Of reward" but he was sin
cerly convinced that real public SER
vice can be rendered without official
position or political preferlnent."
Mr.. Barnes preceded his remarks
about Mr.. Hoover with "a detailed
history of the operations of the grain
corporation. He said that he wished
to specially emphasize that the cor.
poration was not price fixing
agency" but great commercial
corporation, which by its magnitude
had dominated the price Of wheat. 1t
was always in the market. he con-
tinued, as an astute buyer or seller,
and not as directing the price at
which other buyers and other sellers
must trade between themselves.

| MINERS HEADS TELL
|OF uuN6 COSTS SINCE 1914
BEFORE GOAL COMMISSION

Washington, Jan. ia third day OF
argument before President Wilson
committee for settling the coal strike
left it practically ready tontsht to pro-
coed to the examination OF fact Of tssue
between the miners and their employees.
The last of six spokesman Of the
United Mine Workers Of America fin
ished the preliminary statement OF the
case and Ralph Crews. counsel for the
operators in the central competitive dis
trict, likewise completed the general
statement in opposition.
Frank Harrington Of the Illinois min
ers' union in closing for the miners q.
timated the advance in living costs since
1914 in Illinois mining centers at from
ITO to 17S per cent. Yearly earnings of
coal miners in Illinois, however. he
said, had increased only from approx
imately 500 in 1913 to $3.50 In 1919. In
the light of these figures he said the
miners claims for 60 per cent. increase
in wages and 30-hour week was justi-
fled.
John l.. Lewis acting president Of
the United Mine Workers gave out Il
statement explaining the 80 hour
week demand az an endeavor by the
miners to distribute their work
throughout the year. Geological sur
vey estimates, Lewis said showed
five weekly operation Of mines for the
80 hours would supply all the coal
the country needed.
Attorney Crews. opened for the
operators with the declaration that
the so per cent wage increase was the
real issue before the committee. He
stamped the 80 per cent increase de-
mand as fraught with staggering
consequences"
Likewise. discussing the 30 hour
week Crews said that 1t was only an
incorrect economic theory which
made the miners leaders believe that
such system could be maintained.

seek LAWS TO STOP
lYNCuING AND RIOTS

Washington, Jan. l4-Enactment OF
federal legislation to prevent lynch
ings and raee rioting was urged at
the initial hearing today of q Senate
judiciary subcommittee conducted
under tho resolution providing for
investigation into resent riots and
a submission to the Senate suggest
ing a means Of preventing recur-
renee Of the disorders Today's ses-
sion was devoted entirely to the ques-
ton of federal jurisdiction.
Senator Curtis. Republican, Kan

the activity Of radical agitators
among the negros in various cities.
where rioting has occurred in the last

in which these agitators have con-
Quoted q propaganda among negroes
for the purpose Of arousing unrest.
U. s. Brattons a white attorney OF
Little Rock. Ark, who said his son
narrowly escaped lynching during
the recent race riots in that state,
argued in favor of federal legislation,
declaring the federal constitutional
guarantees all citizens an impartial
trial which mob rule denies.
He declared, however. that the re-
cent troubles IN Arkansas were not
due to radical agitaters but to the
system OF peonage which lie alleged
prevailed in Arkansas.
THE conditions that exist there are
such as to demand the attention of
the federal government" Bratton
said.
James Weldon Johnson. former
United States consul in Nicaragua,
but now field secretary Of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Kindred People told the
committee. there recently had been
suggestions that the United States
interest Mexico because about six
Americans had been killed while dur
ing the same period So negroes had
been lynched in this country.
Legislation to prevent race riots

death of Senator Martin. He also
emphasizes this defeat might be con.
strued as reputation OF the admin
istration policy as regards the treaty
and might have a harmful effect on
future action.
In behalf Of Senator Underwood it
has been decided that his election would
or could be regarded as reputation OF
the treaty management either OF MI.
Hitchcock or the administration.
The Alabama senator's friends have
insisted that the treaty is temporary
issue which should not be a factor In
election Of a permanent leader and have
emphasized that Mr.. Hitchcock as rank
ing Democrat on the foreign relations
committee would continue In charge OF
the treaty. ALSO Of other questions OF
foreign relations coming before the
Senate even should Mr.. Underwood be
chosen leader.
Another argument has hinged on geo.
graphical considerations. Mr.. Hitchcock
being from the middle west and MIR.
/ Underwood from the solid south.
Nearly all of the Democratic senators
had arrived tonight for the election to-
morrow. a date selected after Mr.. I'm
derwood objected to meeting called
by Mr.. Hitchcock just before the holi-
day recess Of Congress. Absent sena-
tors would be permitted to cast votes

vote Of Carter Glass. senator-elect from,
Virginia. who has not yet been sworn
in, will be received. MIR. Glass is re-
ported to favor Senator Underwood.
