New Life for

else" writes G. o. Frappir.
Eatonic is the modern remedy for
acid stomach, bloating, food repeating
and indigestion. 1t quickly takes up
and carries out the acidity and gas
and enables the stomach to digest the
food naturally. That means not only
relief from pain and discomfort but
you get the full strength from the food
you eat. Big box only costs trile
with your druggists guarantee.

His Chief End in Life.

lady, who kept very few servants and
paid them as little as possible.
Among these was an underfed, mis-
erable-looking lad of fourteen, who an
swered the door, did the dishwashing,
waited at table, weeded the garden,
washed the dSg and few other things
One day visitor asked this lad !:
"Well, my boy, and what do you do
around here?'
II do butler, kitchen maid and a

circumstances parents and educa-
tors have had to combat the impa-
tience Of boys and girls to be out
and earning, even when the finan-
cial condition Of the family does not
make it necessary.
To the adolescent often anything
seems better than the dull grind of
the schoolroom, and a job, be the
job ever SO small, satisfies the i'm
patient desire to be grown up.
This is especially true of the boys.
Regrets come later. Then parents
are bitterly condemned for their lack
of firmness, or teachers for their
lack Of understanding
SO, in the end, the responsibility is
thrown back on the parents and the
schools. The abolition of child labor
is a thing to be devoutly hoped for
and obviously much work remains to
be done.

The Sub-Cellar Of the Mind

Primitive negro sculpture from
Africa has won an increasing vogue
in Paris in the last few year.
Small polished wood carvings, sprung
from barbaric ritual, have brought
thousands Of francs from connois-
seurs Of this new cult. The divert
ing discovery has now been made
that there is an amazing resemblance
between these rudimentary idols
from darkest Africa and the last
word in Futuristic sculpture. The
"deformations" are much the same
to the eye. The reduction of the
human figure to cylinders and cones
and planes is the essential formula
in both.
There is humor for the scoffers
IN this queer resemblance. Those
who scorn the whole modern ten
dcncy Of art can have the pleasure
OF lecrlng at it as atavistic art. But
there is another side to the story.
The moral is not quite so simple.
The negro sculptures are not Jokes.
They are beautiful and interesting
Just how beautiful and interesting
can be debated; but their genuine
artistic value is hardly to be contro-
vcrted. So while the likeness be-
tween thc two schools Of sculpture
indicates an affinity, it by no means
destroys the interest Of modern art
or proves it worthless.
There have been many surmses to
explain the coincidence The whole
problem of creative art is SO bound
up in the most dubious portions of
psychology that anybody is entitled
to a guess, and certainty is impos-
sible. But The most Interesting and
likely hypothesis is clearly that
which regards The resemblance Of
CuDist art to c-prim;tivc art as
something more than. coincidence.
Much criticism. favorable and un-
favorablc, has regarded modernism
in art as a conscious ntcllcctualiza-
ton Of art, an application of for
nulas, Of mathematics, special the
orlcs Of shapes and lines and design.
1t is, Of course, just that in the case
Of the initiative camp-followers. But
surely 1T is something else in the
case Of Gauguin or a Van Gogh.
And now, in view Of this primitive
negro parallel, the likely theory
seems to be that Futuristic art is, so
lar from an intcllcctuolization Of
art, u deep dclving into the subcon-
sclous mind and II surrender to the
primitive vision and emotions there

The Silesian Plebiscite

The plebiscite in Upper Silesia
cannot be postponed much longer.
The preparation period of eighteen
months allowed by the Treaty Of
Versailles expires on January 10,
1921.
French correspondents in Silesia
report the details Of what they con-
slider a German conspiracy to colo
nize the voting districts and to In
timidate the German elements.
The treaty gives the right to vote to
persons born in the plebiscite area
but domiciled there since January
1, 1919.
Taking advantage Of these provi-
sions, the Germans have promoted
an organization to return to Upper
Silesia all the native Germans who
had removed to other parts of the
empire and to colonize the plebiscite
area with other Germans instructed
to claim residence prior to January
J last. 1t is also charged that many
Of the colonists are ex-soldiers, or
ganized into military companies and
having concealed stores Of rifles and
machine guns, and that the COM
mission has not effectively inter
fered.
The two premiers have now de-
cided to winnow out the real resi-
dents from the suspected colonizers.
The plebiscitc officials will be in
structed to let the known citizens
vote on one day, those who have only
birth claim on another and the re-
Gently domiciled on third. More
weight will be given to the judgment
Of the first class than to that Of the
two other classes. Should the voices
Of the third class decide the result in
any commune the poll may be disre-
garded. The commission is author
lied to take geographical and eco
nomic conditions into account as well
as the wishes of the majority in any
subdivision.
The long delay in holding the ref
erendum has been unfortunate. 1t
has led to ugly frictioua and repeat
ed disorder. The Germans have been
encouraged to do everything possible
to override opposition and to weaken
the plebiscite commissions author
ity. SO it seems high time to take a
vote and make an award.

A, & and C. Mandates

Secretary Colby's recent letter to
Lord Curzon containe,, a reference
to the Class A form Of mandate
which is to be operative in Mcsopo-
tamia. Probably few readers knew
what the phrase "Class A mandate"
meant.
In Article % Of the covenant
mandates were described roughly rs
of three kinds: "Certain communi-
ties formerly belonging to the Turk
ish Empire' We're mentioned, for ex-
ample, as having reached a higher
state Of development than the Ger
man overseas possessions had. In
this class were Armenia, Kurdistan.
Mesopotamia, Syria and Palestine.
The covenant makers were sanguine
enough to believe that these liber-
Hted territories should be provision
ally recognized as independent
states, subject to mandatory advice
"Other peoples, especially those Of
central Africa" constituted a second
class. Here the mandatory is to
have much larger responsibility.
In the general interest the slave
trade, the liquor trade and the traffic
In arms are to be prohibited. Fort
tications and military or naval bases
are to be destroyed and the military
training Of the natives is to be for
bldden. In these states. equal trade
opportunities also are clearly guar
anteed to all members of the League
Of Nations.
Southwest Africa and "ccrtain
South Pacific islands were put in a
third class. They are to be admin
istered as integral parts of the man
datarys territory. bat with various
safeguards for the protection Of the
natives.
AS to the Class A states, the func-
tion Of the mandatory is limited tc
advice. The mandatory state is 3
disinterested trustee, not an cx-
pIoiter In the case Of Glass A coun-
tries it is not even a full fedged ad-
ministrator, and the text Of the Class
\ mandate should show definitely
that the mandatary's service is an
unsclhsh one, entailing no advan-
tage which other members of the
league may not equally enjoy.

The Short Session

Short sessions Of Congress usually
mark time. All eyes are on the clock
which the sergeant-at- arms is going
to set back with a final mortuary
flourish at noon of March 4.
Even if an expiring Congress still
had the will to work at top speed the
legislative turnover would unavoid-
ably be meager. The appropriation
measures have the right of way.
They all go this year to the single
enlarged Budget Committee of the
House, which is an experiment,
More than ever the great task Of the
session viii be to wrestle with these
bills, since lax and inflated est
mates are sure to be submitted by
the Treasury Department. Congress
will fail Of its duty, and also disap-
point its present hopes, if it doesn't
cut out Of them from half a billion
to billion Of unnecessary expendi-
lures. Everything else will be for
given if the two houses can force
appropriations down this winter to
within hailing distance of a new
peace level
The budget bill, vetoed by Presi-
dent Wilson, has been repassed by
the House of representatives and is
now in the Senate. 1t will be acted
on promptly. Congress may also re-
peal certain war legislation which is
now obsolete and may do something
to regulate the enormous alien in
flow now threatened. Great pressure
will be brought to induce Congress
to relieve the embarrassment of the
farmers, now unable to protect them
selves against a crushing decline
in the prices Of agricultural prod
ucts. The Administration opposi-
ton must be counted on, however. in
any attempted export relief legisla
ton.
This Congress sits in the shadow
of the Republican restoration. There.
fore it will break little new ground
1t will be enough for it to complete
with credit the admirable retrench-
ment and peace reorganization pro.
gram of the last two sessions.
