who lost their lives in the war.
Assaulted and robbed near Union
Station, Washington, while en- route
to Cambridge, Mass, to be married,
Robert Byron Whitman, war veteran,
wandered penniless about the nations
capital for several days trying to
borrow funds to return home. He
made his way to Baltimore and Sc
cured from his brother, Roy W. Whit
man, of that city, sufficient money
for transportation back to Virginia.
He returned to Richmond yesterday.
According to his story he was robbed
of $1,000, representing his savings
since he was mustered out of service.
He said three footpads attacked him,
knocking him almost senseless. The
wedding was set for last Wednes-
day. Whitman made his money at
the Newport: News ,Shipyard. He
says that he will return there in or

again considering matrimony.
To obtain speedy passage to Eng
land; the Rev. J. Compson, D. D.,
rector of the Grace Protestant
Church, of Newport News, signed as
a member of the crew of the British
freighter Middleham Castle. The de-
termination of the minister to reach
his home in England as quickly as
possible, even if he had to work his
way over, was the result of the sud-
den death of his wife and consequent
desire to reach his English home
quickly so as to take care of his
motherless son. He signed up as a
cook and now is on his way. While
addressing the congregation Of the
Grace Protestant Episcopal Church

wife.
With the Monroe Doctrine as his
subject. Randolph Harrison, OF Lynch
burg, president of the Virginia State
Bar Association, delivered the an
nual address yesterday before more
than 200 members of the auditorium
of the Jefferson Hotel. He declared
the principles underlying the doc
trine were passing through crisis
at this time. The issue, he said,
sharply raised. is whether the Mon
roe Doctrine is to lose its identity
as an American policy and be swal-
lowed up in world wide right of
self determination for all nations, as
President Wilson suggests, or is to
be maintained in its integrity as the
fundamental principle of our foreign
policy.
Five of eleven prisoners in the
Rockingham County jail at Harrison
burg made their escape Monday
while the prison was being fumiga-
ted, following the lifting of the
smallpox quarantine. Three were cap
tured within half an hour and the
others surrendered after first tele-
phoning the sheriff that they were
willing to return. Six prisoners, in
GLIDING one charged with murder.

From the time Of George Washing
ton to the present moment 1t has been
characteristic Of the American people
TO demand dignity as an absolutely
essential quality In the makeup Of a
President. The instances have been
30 rare in which an occupant Of the
White House has forgotten the Obliga-
ton he Is under to the nation to main
tain his poise under all circumstances
that II requires close historical inves-
t1gation to come upon them. Our
Presidents have been, no matter what
may have been their shortcomings as
executives, worthy In their outward
bearing OF the eminence to which they
had attained.
It Is a serious handicap to James NJ
Cox that he has displayed, in his
Presidential campaign, lack Of dig
nifty that has been. IN some Of its
manifestations, actually shocking. It
is not demanded, Of course, that a
Presidential candidate shall go about
his campaign activities with book Of
etiquette In one hand and box of
sedative pills in the other. The Amer
lean public, with its usual sense Of
justice, makes due allowance always,
when judging the words and deeds Of

CANDIDATE cox, THE UNIDENTIFIED
BY E. S. VAN zlLE

an aspirant for the Presidency, for the
great physical and mental strain that
he is undergoing. But there is a limit
beyond which It's patience and SYM
patty may safely be tried, and Gov
ernor Cox has repeatedly passed that
limit.
OF course, It may be too much to ex-
pect that a candidate who owes his
nomination to the fact that he was the
only one Of many aspirants who was
thoroughly q persona grata to men like
Murphy, Nugent, Taggart and Bren-
nan should possess that sensitiveness
to the proprieties that has safeguard
ed the dignity of our Presidents as a
class. But even after making due al
lowance for the fact that mans man.
ners are Influenced by the company he
keeps, 1t is not too much to say that
Governor Cox, in his recent public ut
terances and in certain cheap appeals
he has made to people lacking In good
taste, has placed himself outside the
pale from which alone an occupant of
the White House should be chosen.
As President there is every reason
TO believe that the undignified Cox
would offend against a precious ira
dltion that Is, as 1t should be. dear to
the hearts OF the American people.

Perhaps SeIfishness Exercised with intelligence by
Employer and Employee is Virtue
After All

Neither will intelligent employee attempt to I'M
dermne the institution for which he works in the
earning of his living.
1t is all mutual. The employer cannot get
along without the employee, and without the en-
ployer there would be no employment. Look at
it from purely selfish standpo for really there
is no other. The trouble is that there is too much
camouflage on both sides, too much covering up
of the sentiments that really actuate mankind
with fine sounding phrases describing various in
dustrial movements, which at bottom are selfish,
and rightly so.
A little more honestly toward one another up
on the part of employer and employee and little
less duplicity, fewer high sounding names for
things which are recognized for what they really
are by both the employer and the worker would
do much toward establishing better understand
ing between the man who buys labor and those
who sell their toll Both classes are working to-
ward a common end, that of self-improvement,
the employer to make more profits through big
ger volume Of business, and the employe better
wages by a better class of work.
1t is encouraging to see THAI this truth is becom-
ing more fully recognized In the business and in
dustrial world. This is true in South Bend as well
as elsewhere Throughout the country.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1920-12-13

Is Selfishnees in mankind to be deplored? Per-
haps so, and perhaps not. There is a distinction
between Selfishness and Greed. The first is de-
sire upon the part of one to have and to hold the
things that rightfully belong to one. Greed is
desire to possess more than ones share.
If one exerts his or her sefishness with that de-
gree of intelligence necessary to distinguish be-
tween natural attribute of men and grasping,
unnatural nature, progress will be attained.
If an employer is selfish and wants to see his
business prosper, and is intelligent enough to
know that by placing the right kind of conditions
for his employees in his store, office or plant to
create willingness to give full days work, he
will find that his selfishness becomes a virtue,
benefting both himself and those who work for
him.
An employe who is selfish and wants to sue
coed, and is intelligent enough to know that when
the institution for which he labors prospers, he
will prosper, will find that by watching his en-
ployer's interests, he watches his own.
The trouble is not that there is too much intelli-
gence. The employer who is intelligent will not
Cypress those whom he employees and whom he
looks to for a return for the wages he pays them.

 Why doesn't Europe like the American women who come over this summer?
 Could it be that the women over here are envious, bitterly envious, of all that youth and grace and happiness, that careless indifference, that security of the future, that determination to see only the happy and the gay, most of all re- sentful of the power to shut away all but what she wants to see the power of money?
 America was at her best during the lat- ter half of the war. We sent our best men and women over to Europe. We sent our best ideals, great ideals. too. And now we are sending only those whose money serves their own pleasure. I'm afraid that is how they are sizing us up in Europe this summer, compar- ing this years American invasion with that of 1918.

WHY HAS EUROPE
 LOST FORMER LOVE
 FOR TIE AMERICAN?
Extravagance and Pleasure Seeking Throngs May Be
 Answer to This Un- A usual Question
By MARGARET WALTER.

London, July 25.-"Why don't they like us over here?" asked pretty American tourist 1 met in Paris the other day.
 How do you know they don't?" questioned, to gain time.
 "Oh, I know all right They grab our money fast enough, but even when we cant understand a word of their ! language. they make us know that : they look down on us. Yes. they do you needn't waggie your head. They ' think they're better than we are, and 1t makes me wild"
 We were having a very expensive tea with straw wberry short cake at five francs a slice in the smartest tea rooms f in Paris. looking out over sun bat h ed boulevard 10 the steps of the Mado- leine. Almost every other person trip { ping along the sidewalk was Ameri- can. and every American. man, woman or child, looked prosperous and plump In the dainty cream and gold room where we were sitting nearly all the little parties clustered around the ta- 2 bles were composed of American wom- en, exquisitely dressed and wearing skirts cut much shorter than is the fashion in New York.
 They sort of despise us, that's what they do, and I'd like to know the rea- son why"
 Could this be the reason. do you think?' I queried again. Her eyes fol- ! lowed mine round the room. Every woman there was eating with all her s might (and not too daintily) a great many creamy cakes and French pas tries and fresh fruit glaces, topping them off with foaming soft drinks. As we ate we talked, screamed al most 1t seemed at times, drowning the music of a stringed orchestra of old men playing exotic French music.
 As we ate and talked, we sat most of us, with our knees crossed and our pale-tinted stockings exposed, and we made a great many more gestures than women do as a rule in public places in America. There seemed a great number of young girls dressed as rich ly as their mothers.
 Nobody seemed to be listening to what anybody else said. The wait }resses and the old men in the orches-' tra might have heard and understood though they made no sign. And, dur ing all the time we sat there we, like the others, had been talking about ourselves, what we wanted, what we had got where we intended to go and how much money it was all cost ing. That and comparing everything with America, to the great advantage of America except in the case of

Washington. August 4.When the na- ton went dry by federal amendment. many grape growers thought they would be forced into some other line of busi- ness because of the subsequent cessation of wine production, but reports to the
 bureau of markets show that the demand for manufactured grape products now

 The production of unfermented grape juice and of jams and jellies is utilizing an increasing tonnage of grapes each year. these reports state and in the not far distant future, it is expected that the

GIANT CRACKS IN
 EARTH IN KANSAS
By Associated Press

Hutchinson. Kan, August fd- Geoiogists and scientists of this part of the state are displaying much ln- terest in great cracks in the earth re- ported to be appearing in Kiows county. On the John Marriage ranch crevices F feet deep. half mile long and some of them three feet wide have appeared recently. Attention to them was attracted by finding two steers in one of the crevices. The cattle were wedged in, apparently having fallen Tn when the earth cracked.
 Geologists general agree that the cracks are due to hot dry weather and the countereffect of the subterranean supply of water. In Meade county, further west, the under-flow or water is tapped by many wells.
