OPPORTUNITY
ALWAYS HERE

Reading the record of Warren G..
Harding revives the thought that
America is the home of opportunity.
The choice of the Republican party
for the highest Office in the land is
the product of American opportunity.
Twenty years ago Senator Harding
was a state senator in Ohio, having
risen from a farm boy to the editor
of a small newspaper. Harding's
father was unable during the earlier
years of his sons life to assist him
materially, but the youth perservered
working al odd jobs during the sum-
mer so hat he accumulated suffici-
ent funds with which to complete his
college education. As a newspaper
publisher. Mr.. Harding gradually as
sumed a commanding position in his
home state.
There was nothing metoric in the
rise of the Marion publisher. After
election to the office of state senator
Mr.. Harding became lieutenant-gov-
ernor and while In that Office was
elected to the United States senate.
He adhered to party tenets, but he
was not merely a follower after dom
mating leaders. The perspicuity and
perspicacity of the man won %recogni-
ton and in course of time he became
a leader instead of a follower. He
has never been accused of sulking in
his tent, MOI has he been guilty of
presuming that he was greater than
his party. His consistency has been
helpful in his rise.
A review of biographies of pre-
ceding presidents makes it clear that
there is nothing in the customs or
laws of the United States to bar the
humblest citizen from the highest Of
flee in the land. Senator Harding
has made his way from comparative
poverty to a national figure. Per-
severance, honesty and industry have
been his helpers. 1t is a lesson for
those who complain hat opportunity
no longer displays his wares in this
country.-lReno Journal.

THE
OIL SUPPLY

The oil supply of the country is
getting to be a serious problem, and
one that has to be grappled with.
The supply is now way below the
demand, and the production below
the consumption. Hence prices are
soaring and must continue to soar
until the production again exceeds
the consumption-and whether it
will ever do that again nobody seems
to know.
The reason is obvious. There are
1000. 900 automobiles and trucks in
use now, with 1900, 900 being turned
out this year, making in all 9,000,-
600. There is not enough oil pro-
duced in America to make gasoline
for anything near such a number,
and this country produces three
fourths of the worlds supply.
Also, the auto industry now uses
up so per cent of all the plate glass
manufactured, and bureaus with mir
rors are no longer turned out by
the furniture factories.
AS to the oil, a substitute must be
found for gasoline, or else more
wells be struck, or less joy-riding

OUTLOOK
NOT ROSY

Whether 1t BIO spring fever that
makes us more pessimistic, or wheth-
er the war has spread so much
gloom and depression all over the
world, or whether it be really true
that people are getting worse instead
of better, we do not know, but we
do know that our faith in the prog
r,ss of the brotherhood of man part
of the doctrine is getting consider
ably shaken, and we are not suave,
oily, diplomatic and dishonest enough
10 say otherwise.
Those Germans, Austrians, Bull
garians and Turks-Huns all-over
across the water are human beings,
same as we are, with, presumably,
human instincts, and if any of them
are displaying Brotherhood of Man
proclivities it is not visible t the
naked eye.
Russia, claiming a special dispen-
sation In the brotherhood of man
business, overthrow its ~autocracy in
its behalf. This was we'll, but now
look at them. Cutting each others
threats over the distribution of the
spoils, robbing. numbering. plumber
ing. looting and acting like maniacs,
with Dilirium Tremens as their slo-
gan. instead of Brotherhood of Man
Judging from their present actions
they would steal anything % spiked
down, and commit murder to get it

1t seems strange that some of the

fusion of all the worlds religious
bodies, or even the branches of the

sions of single denominations, into
one broad organization which would
stand for everything and nothing.

When the President asks America
to take a mandate over Armenia, he
should also issue a call for volun-
teers to form an army of occupation
and also voluntary contributions to
the funds necessary to pay the ex-
pense. If there are any members of
the Presidents family who wish to
join the army for service in Armenia,
now is the time for them to enlist.

AGRA
"A LITTLE NONSENSE NOW
AND THEN Is RELISHED BY
THE BEST OF MEN,

Some people eat as though it was
a pleasure for other people to listen
to them.
What this country needs right now
as much as anything else, is conserva-
ton of the voice.
TIT
The a who ear a belt and sus-
penders at the same time must be of
a suspicious nature.
TIT
Public favor deserved or not de-
served, is about as lasting as a bunch
of lettuce in a grocery store.
TIT
Reporters must be lenient. A lot
of men who say they don't know any
thing are in a normal condition.
TIT
When a mans feet are cold, he is
cold all over, and when he has a lit
tie yellow streak he is yellow all
over.
To be truly patriotic, a boy or a
girl must love his or her mother, and
daughter must wash the dishes now
and then.
We suspect that if the British gen.
eral in Jerusalem orders all citizens
to take a bath there is going to be
a terrible row.
In the old days a warrior was
brought back from battle on his
shield. Nowadays he is hustled to
a base hospital in a Ford ambulance.
ftt
The activities of candidates for the
Presidency convince one that if the
office happens to be seeking any of
them it will have to get up and hustle.
TIT
Speaking of the eternal fitness of
things. it is interesting to note that
two taxi riders in Kansas City the
other night reversed the order of
things and robbed the driver.
TIT
The price of food can't come down
because the price of labor stays up,
and the price of labor can't come
down because the price of food stays
up. Clear as mud.
TIT
Reason why people don't plant
more trees nowadays is that no
known variety will grow up and give
them shade in sixty days before they
move somewhere else.
The people are more difficult to
understand than their problems;
which might be easily solved, if they
would go about them simply and in
diligently.
TIT
The government of the United
States has proclaimed the fact to the
world that there are only two classes
of men that are fit to live at all-and
one fights and the other works.
TIT
Many of the people who complain
about the cost Of living are the
same ones who regard the garden as
a piece of waste land on which they
have to pay someone to NOW the
weeds regularly.
TIT
The monocle has made it's appear
ance in Topeka, and the Capital ex-
presses its indifference thus: IF any
cook wants to go around with one
pane of glass in his face, looking like
grandfather's clock. that is his priv
ilege."
TIT
Patriotism for personal gain or for
political purposes does not make a
hit around this think foundry. The
more patriotism is dragged into pol
itics and schemes to make money,
the more it is besmirched and
defled.
Nelson Morris says that $40 ought
to clothe a child for a year. Twenty
dollars is a-plenty, Nels, for that
purpose. providing it is a Hottentot
kid. or the child of exceedingly
fashionable parents in the Shirt
Tail district of Mexico.
