 The rum-runners have the boats and the men handle them, men who some- times make s1,50O a trip, or only a lit- tie less than half which the American government pays for whole years work to the men 1t employs to stop this traffic.
 Thousands of individual quarts are probably brought over by ferry passen- gers also.

That means that under coats and skirts there may be contra band. The family hot-water bottle is often transformed into a liquor con- tainer. One Saturday 30 women were picked at random and sent in to be searched. The dock was wet with tears. Almost every one was found guilty.
 While returning Americans are liquor carriers in the greater number, some of the Canadian subjects bring over liquor for friends and some of these, starting thus innocently. have devel- oped into professional rum-runners. One rum-rnnner had a regular route consisting of office buildings, and each day would pour drinks for his clients at 75 cents each. His earnings, ac- cording to his own statement, were about $100 a day. But he has disap- peared and the supposftion Is that ne Ia fin 1ail somewhere.

THE CHALDEANS ba Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 The American army officer, chosen by the Chaldeans to present their ap- peal for independence to the council of allied premiers. reports that he has been unable to get hearing for that ancient people. They made some attempt during the peace conference to obtain consideration. having heard that "self-determination" was to be a guiding principle in the settlement of tho worlds affairs. Those at Versailles who had some familiarity with Biblical history may have recalled the Chal- deans, of course. but they failed to make an impression on minds sur charged with acute problems of twen- tieth century statesmanship.

 TN his annual report for the depart
 ment of the interior, Secretary Payne S bewails the decrease in the farm pop ulation. He cites as an example Ohio, where the number of vacant farm houses increased, in the year ended June So, 1920, from 1s,oO0 to 290oo, and where the number of men and boys on farms de- creased 30 per cent. The secretary of fers only one reason for the swing from rural to urban life:
 'The difficulty is that people do not like to live alone. but prefer to live i'll towns and villages and to enjoy society and the conveniences and comforts or modern life which are beyond the reach of a scattered population living on large farms"

with the southern system. 1t is, per- haps, well enough to have this matter thoroughly investigated at this time-it will have to come later as the drift to centralization becomes more rapid. AL ready the states have been deprived, by Q right to control their electoral systems, and iti no longer astonishing that the movement to complete the job is to be pushed by certain radical advocates of it who have misjudged the meaning of the popular vote that returned their party to power.
 Perhaps the movement may bring the southern people to realizing sense of the significance of their own venture in the centralizing business-surrenderin their police powers to the federal govern ment, and finally, through the action of Tennessee. inviting federal myrmidons to come down and take charge of our elec- ton machinery.
 The first duty of the leaders of demo- cratic thought in this section is to or ganize their party again on the funda- mentals that have made it great and powerful in the past and appeal to the nation to restore it in their confidence and esteem. There are millions of men and women in the north, east and west who are ready and willing 10 join such a revitalized party. for they deserted it at the last election because it had aban- doned it's faith and surrendered to miserable opportuniSm.

 1O) REPRESENTATIVE TINKHAM of lM Massachusetts has given notice
 of his intention to introduce a measure to reduce southern representa- tion in Congress. Declaring that while the south furnishes only about per cent of the votes in a presidential election, 1t has 25 per cent of the representation in the House. he threatens to test the validity of the election of the next House" unless his proposed bill or reso- lution is adopted. He proceeds by reso- lution directing the census bureau to report on the extent of dsfranchisement of negroes in the south. This is not the first time the south has been threatened by New England radicals, but, perhaps, it will be the last, for if the repub- licans do not this time attempt this re- prisal upon the-sdemocrats of this sec ton it is not likely that any future att tempt will be made to do it. They have got the votes in each of the houses to put the law through if they ewant 1t. and the democrats will be helpless.
 It is not believed, however, that MT. Tinkham will succeed There might be some disposition among republicans to support the proposition if it could be made into a purely race issue, but the northern and western, if not some of the New England. states have recently had the opportunity e studying the

THE RIGHT WAY TO READ

By Sydney Smith,
 The only way to read with any effi- ciency is to read so heartily that dinner time comes two hours before you ex- pected 1t. To sit with your Livy before you and hear the geese cackling that saved the capital. and to see with your own eyes the Carthagian suffers gath ering up the rings of the Roman knights after the battle of Cannae and heaping them into bushels: and to be so intimately present at the actions you are reading of that when anyone knocks at the door it will take you two or three seconds to determine whether you are in your own study or in the plains of Lombardy looking at Hanni- balls weather-beaten face-that Is the only kind of study that is not tire some. almost the only kind that Is not useless.

We have many surprises in the cam :
 paign to secure money for the 1921
 budget of the Anti-Tuberculosis asso- citation of Jefferson county" said J. Frank Rushton, field marshal of the allied armies. "A well-known business man walked into headquarters today and gave us a check for $25. I thanked him for his liberality and interest. He then called me aside and told me that his mother had died of tuberculosis many years ago, and that for years he had been told that the disease was hereditary and had lived in constant fear of developing it. Knowing the mental stress which even the fear of the disease occasioned, he wanted to do his part in helping in the work. He also knew of the suffering which the disease itself caused, and felt that the people of the county should rally to this campaign and do all in their power to prevent the plague and stop it's spread"

l Tt has certainly been matter of pride that was victorious over many competitors in placing my short meth cd of bookkeeping in the government army camp schools" said Prof. g. A. over the country offered to furnish books free for a year for the benefits of this adoption but everything was side tracked for my method, which has proven so successful and satisfactory. The officials in charge of the govern ment army schools seemed at once to grasp the idea I had incorporated in l. my short method of bookkeeping, which | had been so successfully tried out in | the Spencer-E Ellis college before. The camp schools have given it thorough test, and have found by this method of teaching, results have been achieved within few days which would have required months through the old r1eth- od. From Charles B. Cannon, super wiser of the E. and V. Training school, l have received the following letter, which he has sent out:
 1 We are using the commercial course at Camp Benning, a system of visual instruction in bookkeeping. This system has been invented by Prof. s. A.

 The rage of the proletariat and the ambitions of the bourgeois are potent forces in politics, but singuiariy enough they do not seem to be a menace to the candidate of the blue stocking set. Both of the first groups are strong and aggressive in New York state in particular. Yet James w. Wadsworth.

E < * Former Army Officer Says He was a Spv

51HE alleged confession of John
 ll Willers, formerly a captain in the United States army, reads like a tale of Munchausen, but it may not be as improbable as it seems.
 When arrested for theft and deser- ton, Willers said he was sent to the United States from Germany as one of 300 trained spies who were to join the American army. Willers declares that he enlisted as . private at AL bany, N. r., and soon won promotion because of his education and military bearing. According to his story, he was ordered ito act the part of loyal American" until he got to the war zone. He was not sent abroad. Asked what he was to do after reaching Eu- lOpS, hC SOoiiy iCPllCus COulu lCdO the company to slaughter"
 Willers has criminal instincts and he may be indulging in a weakness of such characters to spin yarns for the edification of the police, but America was overrun with German spies be- fore and during the war. It is not un- likely that some of them did get into the army and navy with such des- perate design as Willers claimed to have had to sacrifice their own lives for, the sake of killing Americans. During the war attention was called to the number of persons with Ger man names who were employed by the government in responsible posi- tions. The loyalty of most of these people was said to be unquestionable. But there were many others holding minor positions who could have done
