Concerted Effort

The story appearing in The Age Herald regarding the space in the new postoffice and federal building has me wondering" says J. r. Kicks.
 Tt seems almost a crime to build a new postoffice to relieve the crowded condition of the present building and prepare for the growth of the city for a few years in advance, and have it in- adequate to meet the needs of the of ficials at this time. Practically every one who has an occasion to visit the postoffice can readily see how con- gested things are there, and as it is now, it will be necessary for some of the departments to remain in the pres ent building after all other departments have moved into the new building, it is stated
 Tt strikes me that a concerted ef- fort on the part of the people to have an additional appropriation given by Congress for the third story to the building, as was called for in the origi- nal plan, should be made at this time
 With three stories, there would be sufficient room for all departments and those requiring more space would be able to have it."

THE SHAKESPEARE MYTH

he was killed in tavern brawl at Dept ford, June 1, 1564. Suppose he was not killed-that it was the other fellow,' that he-Marlowe-was spirited out of an answer to several queries. It explains why refugee from justice, he could not appear as the author of any more plays; how and why his friend, Shake speare, one of the managers of the Globe Theatre, had need to protect his plays; and it accounts for the misen scene and color of those of the plays which are lo-- cated in Italy and France
 Doubtless Sweet Will" was an engag- ing fellow. But that likewise proves nothing. The three, and only three, known signatures of his, are those of a rustic. His last Twill and testament" is that of a rustic. It is preposterous, in- conceivable that between the years 1886 when he went up to London and held horses in the alley back of the theatre ? and 1e1O, when he returned to Stratford, "a comparatively rich man, he could have written Hamlet and Macbeth and "Othello," the comedies and poems which stand in his name.
 Whoever did actually write them will never be known
 My guess is Christopher Marlowe.

Henry Watrerson, in Reedys Mirror. 6Cl HE debate over the authorship of
 the Shakespeare plays is both con-
 S fused and confusing. It proves nothing. That William Shakespeare of Statford-on-Avon did not write them could by no reasonable conjecture have written them-ought to be, and is, clear to intelligent, unbiased minds. But, his name upon the title page, assuredly to conceal the author of the plays, estab- fishes a claim not easy to upset on the one hand and opens a vista of varied though unconvincing speculation on the other.
 The play actors to man are commit- ted to the Shakespeare end of it. He was a play actor That has given permanency and momentum to the myth. The mutt plicity of claimants has kept it going One theory refutes another theory, so that the general reader is left in a maze of contradictory chatter.

Marring Ben Jonson, he lis the only dramatist of that period whose known production can be called Shake spearean" It is of record that he was bap- tised February 26, 1564. at Canterbury, where he was born. and given out that

There Is Meat in
 Monthly Cotton Data

6FHOSE brief statistical reports re-
 9 garding the consumption of cotton, exports, imports and stocks
 on hand, which are issued monthly
 by the government, shed world of light on the situation that every cot
 ton producer should read, study and assimilate.
 For instance, out of the May re- port these items are gleaned: May cotton consumption more than fifty thousand bales greater than in
 May, 1919.
 Cotton consumption in the past ten months, five hundred and sixty-three thousand bales greater than in the
 same preceding period. Active spindles in May, four hun-
 dred and sixty-nine more than in May
 of 1919.
 Stocks on hand three hundred and ! lfifty-nine thousand bales less than in 1919.
 Experts for the past ten months one million six hundred and ninety nine thousand more bales than were
 exported in the same period of the preceding year. The producer is much better in- formed by knowing this than by mak- | ing wild guess as to mill consump- l tion, exports, the general state of trade and the like. These data show strong cotton
 situation based on actual supply, &C., | tussl mill operation, actual state of the export trade and actual situation of stored cotton coming over from
 last year.
 Producers, who keep regularly in touch with the plain matter of fact contained in these and other govern ment modes of information, are just that much better equipped.

Southern Negroes Will Not
 Listen to Radical Agitators

1.-THE "Abyssinian" disturbance in
 0 Chicago's "black belt" seems to have been due to radical propaganda. It was not clash between the white and black races, although racial feel ing made it easier for an alleged Abyssinian prince" to advocate mi- grafton to Abyshinia, and thus get away from white domination.
 During the war attempts were made to stir up the negroes in the south against the American government. The southern negroes proved their loyalty. German sympathizers and bolsheviks made no progress what ever in fomenting discord between the whites and blacks in this part of the country. The negroes may have felt that they had grievances, but they were not disposed to listen to the treacherous doctrine of strangers who came as mysteriously as they went, with due regard for their own safety.
 Chicago's "black belt" presents a serious problem. It will continue to be hotbed of trouble as long as ne- gro agitators wind it a fertile field in which to preach sedition and war against the white race.
 Powerful factors in creating i'll feel ing and arousing the worst side of negro nature are negro publications issued in Chicago. One of these pub lications is newspaper, several marked copies of which have been re- ceived by The Age-Herald. This newspaper and others like it would not be tolerated in the south. Its sole purpose is to cause trouble be- tween the white and black people of America.

Egregious Folly of New
 York Port Congestion

V1T7 TWENTY miles of freight cars
 0 were in single week diverted from New York to other ports, ac- cording to New York newspapers
 These cars carried goods for ex- port. They were tied up in New York at congested port when oth- CTS were ready to shift their con- tents into the holds of ships, speed this mel chandise on it's money-earn- ing errand and release the cars so that the railroads might also earn money for dividends.
 Sometimes it does seem that rail roads have more ways of wilfully falling down than the most reckless of children. Why President Daniel Willard would continue this conges- tion at New York to the detriment of railroad earnings it is difficult to understand.
 As the Manufacturers Record re- marks:
 'The pressure of war and the volume of traffic following the war lave succeeded in demonstrating be- yond question the absolute economic waste and national folly involved in the attempt of few railroads to concentrate all foreign business in .ne port"
 The nation is proud of New York
 .l wishes it well, out beth the na- tion and New York suffer when strings of cars are tied up there and WE ting ships are held at heavy ex- pense pending ability to load. The uttel absurdity of the proceedings is the loss in revenue to the railroads by reason of the idle and tied-up cars.
 It all comes out of the very fool ish assumption that one benefits by discriminating against ones neighbor. That is the falsest of all philosophies, because the fates of neighbors are interknit in so many ways and by so many cords that dissolution means disremberment.

% g F William F. McCombs Unfair to Wilson

NOMING from man who was for S merly chairman of the demo- cratic national committee and man. aged President Wilson's campaign in 1912, the attack of William F. Me- Combs on the President does not con- tribute to democratic harmony.
 MT. McCombs charges President Wilson with assuming autocratic au- thority. When the fate of this nation hung in the balance, the American people needed leader and they found him in Woodrow Wilson. In all his acts and utterances, President Will .. Son made it clear that he was the spokesman of America, which means the people of America, and there can be no doubt that he honestly believed he-was interpreting the wishes of those who placed him in control and gladly relinquished certain privileges enjoyed under our government that the var might be won.
 It was the exigencies of war that fo, ced MT. Wilson to become virtually a dictator No patriotic American be- grudged him the authority he had at home and through it the influence he exercised abroad. Rather, there was a feeling of relief that there was a strong man, able and far-visioned, on whom we could rely.
 We came through the war victori- ,ous. Much of the credit belongs to President Wilson, who sacrificed his health and endangered his life. that

Harding is thinking of emulat- ing Mckinley by conducting his canvass from his own doorstep, an idea which ap- peals to Marions thrifty soul like a doughnut to hungry boy.

 The circulation of the Marion Star ought to thrive. Doubtless, it can be depended or not to abuse MT. Harding editorially or to run cartoons offensive to the Ma rion candidate The owner and publisher being on exceedingly close confidential terms with the senator, the Star will not even be tempted to reprint it's own editorials of 1912.

 Many prominent citizens attended the luncheon and enthusiasm was marked. One of the best things the mayor has done for New York inas been the spread of good music, and the concerts of this summer are to be performed by wind band, but of symphonic character.

But recently I saw an in- cident which did me good all over. As usual, the church was crowded.
