San Francisco, the most interest.
sng from q purely American point
of view is Senator Owen. When II
comes to ancient American lineage
the descendants of "Mayflower
passengers are mere parSehus
compared with Owen. :,
For he has Indian blood ii his
veins. plenty of II. He was living
here, in the bodies OF his ancestors,
long before Cromwell killed
CHARLES and laid the foundations
of the British Empire; before
william killed Harold and took
England; before Caesar captured
Vercingetorix and took France.
Before there was any such
thing as English, French. Roman.
or Greek civilization. Senator
Owens ancestors were eating
American bison meat, fightins
American grizzly bears. and roam
ing this great continent. 1t would
be a romantic incident In history
II a descendant OF the ancient days
were chosen head OF the white
conquerors.
The Stock Exchange thinks the
war is over, although the Admin
istration says it isn't. Trading in
German municipal government
bonds was resumed In Wall Street
yesterday. This has Importance
because 1t indicates that Wall
Street, we'll informed where money
is concerned, believes first mort
cages on German cities once more
represent actual value.
Germany asks Of the Allies per-
mission to keep an army OF 200,-
600. Two hundred or one hundred
thousand make no difference to
Germany except for interior police.
The Germans have millions Of men
that can be made soldiers, over
night, II inside troubles demand 1t.
AS for outside troubles, Ger
many probably will not be much
disturbed. Whatever was worth
taking has been taken.
With Germany disarmed, the
next-door neighbor of Belgium,
Holland, France, and England is
Bolshevik Russia.
Formerly the military power of
Germany was stone wall stand
ing between western civilized Eu-
rope and Russia and Asia beyond
Russia. The peace treaty has
broken down the stone wall. There
is nothing now between Bolshevism
and western Europe. After a
while the nations that make a
fringe along Europe's western
coast will begin thinking about
that.
The Federal Reserve Board gives
out elaborate reports on business,
saying nothing dafinite. Talking
20 business men now is like going
into the violent ward of an insane
asylum and talking to the inmates.
One tells you, 81 am the Emperor
Napoleon and shall be elected ruler
of the universe tomorrow"
Another tells you, II have a dy-
Mantle bomb inside of me and
shall soon blow up. Do not come
near me-"
If this nation would tend to it's
own business, keep away from
peace league and other nonsense,
Jail a few profiteers and usurers,
and especially REALIZE ITS
OWN STRENGTH, it would have
little worry.
Marvelously good crops, unlimit-
ed wealth, which can be increased
indefinitely by a combination Of
science, machinery, and common
sense, should make pessimism i'm
possible.
The national debt that agitates
some amounts to nothing. It is
less than half of one years in
come in this country. II Rookie
feller lost half Of one years in
come, he wouldn't worry himself
to death about it, well knowing
that he would have enough left.
So with this country. 1t may have
a FRIGHT panic, but not any
other kind.
Women opposing suffrage have
always said, "Women in the home
have all the influence they need"
So they have, as regards home
matters. But politically their in
Huence in the home, being
parasite influence, is harmful. 1t
always has been.
The Manchester Guardian, pub
fishing letters that the Russian
Empress wrote to her husband be-
fore they were both murdered, re-
veals a woman trying to rule her
husband and an empire under or
ders of a half crazy and thorough
ly worthless monk, Rasputin.
Another Empress, wife Of Ma
poleon iii, by her influence, plung-
ed France into the fatal 1870 war
with Germany, saying, "This will
be my war" 1t is better for
women and nations to have women
work with their votes rather than
through the methods of these two
worthless imperial ladies.
The products Of this country be-
long primarily TO THIS COUN-
TRY. There is a shortage of coal
