Taxicabs Invade
 Rome; Score Hit

ROME. June 7.-Taxicabs have just invaded Rome. New, brightly paint ed vehicles similar to those of New York have just made their appearance replacing as many horsedrawn cabs, which have held sway in the capital of the Caesars for centuries.
 The taXicab, though welcomed with open arms by the general mass of Romans, has met for years stone- wall opposition for the right to cir culate in Roman streets. The 5000 cab drivers and livery men fought it's use and warned the city administra- >tion they would be defeated at cleo ton of the taxicabs were admitted.
 This opposition has in a measure been overcome, but there still remains some cab drivers prejudice against motor vehicles in their business They have insisted that the chauf- feurs be mainly recruited from the cab drivers.

BETTING ON COCKROACH RACES
 IS LATEST PASrIME OF TURKS;
 RACE TRACKS OPEN TO PUBLIC

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 7.-Bet- ting on cockroach races is one of the newest sports here. It was introduc- ed by a Russian who has just opened a hall where man wNo wants some real excitement for his money can get results.
 The hall is darkened at the moment the race is to begin. Then single electric light at the end of a runway is turned on, and the cockroaches, each in separate track, are let loose from their cages to race for the light. More real, old-fashioned, non-pro- fessional sport may be had here than in any other city of Europe. This is due in part to the Allied troops of occupation, to the American officers and sailors on station here, and the large number of American and Brit ish civilians who have come out for business since the arInistice.
 What the Russian refugees have done in the way of enlivening the city with concerts, dancing places and queer restaurants, the other allies have done in sporting lines.
 In winter there is wild boar. duck and fox hunting. There Is also. in and out of season, plenty of horseback riding over the dirt roads and unfenc- ed stretches of upland country on both sides of the Borphorus. Horse races are often held.
 Both the British and Americans have laid out golf courses. There are also few tennis courts.

HULL. England, June 2. - The shortage of coal has been so serious here during the strike of miners that the people were unable to obtain hot water. To meet this situation, the na- tional kitchen, which happened to have a supply of coal, sold hot water to the working people at one-half pen ny bucket.
 The shortage of coal also produced a shortage of ice. as it handicapped the artificial ice plants. To obviate this, trawlers were sent to Holland to bring coal. which they exchanged here for ice

The troops and sailors within the city have taken charge of a large field near TaXim, in the center of Pera. and there play football and baseball matches. Yachting and swim ming are commonplace sports open to all.
 The Russians from the Black Sea, who are accustomed to bathe naked. have increased the popularity of the beaches. especially fine strip of sand on the Marmora north shore, known as F1oria. There, without let or hindrance, men, women and chil- dren, undress on the open beach and bathe in consumes that seem quite conventional here.
 The Turks have contributed chicken fights to the international sports.

GRAFTON leaders have gone in on that side, strangely,
there has been a landslide in the opposite direction.
Moving picture interests, feeling that they control
all that is worth while on earth, except politics, have
decided to annex politics. The principal objects be-
ing TO repeal control laws and censorship. The in
dueements held out contain promises to use the screen
to elect all candidates for public office who will vote
for repeal and for the defeat of all those who refuse.
The : cogram outlined is an ambitious one. It is to
become a factor in the election of every candidate
from president down to city alderman and their ae-
Invites to extend to every city and hamlet where nov
ing pictures are exhibited
All of these movements hoping to accomplish their
ends through politics labor under error of Judgment.
They depend upon propaganda of one kind or anoth-
err, their selfish purpose is reaGi.y diseenible by the
public which has been fed on propaganda until it is
surfeited.
II those who have objects to accomplish, would first
possess a worthy cause, devoid Of selfshness, and per-
NIT public opinion to present their case for them,
there would be no need of propaganda and no need Of
going into politics"
aided by publicity Of the character proposed by the
the objects sought
sport, but no one knows of much accomplished by the
methods pursued. Public men cannot be hired in this
manner and il a few happen to be, they are not of
the type to influence action against public opinion
The experience Of most people who have tried con-
troll of public affairs for selfish purposes has been that
it does not succeed. Larger dividends are made by
taking the case TO the people and permitting them to
be the judge and make the award.

P THE LESSON.

Doubtless we will succeed in finding n way to feed
the starving millions in Russia without doing any
great amount of cumming UP with the soviet gov
ernment While we are holding the dilemma by both
horns we ought to give the basic causes of the I'M
para1eled famine the once over for our own Informal
ton.
The story is brief and simple and the telling will
not weary but will amuse you. Lenine and Trotsky
were imbued with the idea that the way to help the
people was to take from those who have and give to
those who have not They began by seizing the &C.
cumulated savings of the rich. They took the banks
and the funds in the public treasury-all the accu-
mulated savings of centuries-wreckin transporta-
ton and destroying production. Having conquered the
Russian world of large. capitalism, they searched for
another world to conquer, and fell upon the farmers
the only capitalists remaining in Russia. They
seized the surplus products of the farm, often leav-
ing the farmers family without provisions to carry
planting. They have been living upon and have lived
up the nations resources, the fruit Of the toll of its
people for hundreds of years. 1t was a simple pro-
cess of colossal organized loot
The effect was what every man might have forseen.
Not only the large capitalists but the farmer-capital-
lists, exclaimed in despair whats the user' and quit
production. TIE despoiled country is paying the in
.evitable penalty.
What has happened in Russia will happen in any
country to the extent that the same economic prin-
ciples are applied. And it makes little difference
whether the process be applied by the methods used
by Lenine and Trotsky or by a due process of law I'M
der a constitution. If a nation establishes a tax sys-
tenn that takes from the capitalist, large or small, the
savings he has accumulated and denies to the indus
trious and frugal the enjoyment of the fruits of their
toll and self denial, the inevitable result will be that
they will exclaim, whats the usev' and quit pro-
ducing.
If a nation takes away the profits Of a business ih
good years and leaves the proprietor of an industry to
bear the loss in bad years, the certainty of ultimate
loss will be SO discouraging that few men will con-
tinue their efforts.
The excess profits tax and the higher rates of the
income taxes have exactly that effect, though not to
the degree we have witnessed in Russia. This was
asserted in the platforms of both political parties in
the campaign of 1920, the Republicans denouncing
taxes that 'needlessly repress enterprise and thrift
and the Democrats declaring for tax reform so that
productive enterprise" Both parties stand pledged
to repeal those taxes.
Unless this repression Of enterprise and withdrawal
of wealth shall cease we can expect nothing less than
Russia's experience duplicated in the United States.
II does not matter in what degree it comes, we don't
want it to come and we must profit by the lessons
brought to our attention in the sad plight of a once
great empire.

THE GERMAN TREATY.

A brief synopsis of the treaty with Germany end
ing the technical state of war and placing the rela-
tons of the two countries upon a peace basis follows
The preamble recites sections l, 2 and 8 of the con
grossional resolution upon which the treaty Is based
ARTICLE l of the treaty provides that the United
States shall have all the rights and advantages speci
fed in the resolution, including those stipulated fol
sailles.
Article II of the treaty defines more particularly
the obligations of Germany with respect to certain
provisions in the treaty of Versailles
Section l of part ~ contains the provisions BY
which Germany renowned her former overseas pos.
sessions in favor of the principal allied and associated
powers. This confirms the rights of the United States
with respect to zap and the other former German
overseas possessions upon an equality with the Other
powers.
The other parts of the treaty of Versailles above
mentioned embrace the military clauses, the repara.
ton, financial and economic clauses, the parts relat-
ing to aerial navigation, ports, waterways and rail
ways, guarantees and miscellaneous provisions.
The result is to put the United States on a footing
with the other allied and associated powers with re-
spect to all the rights defined in all the clauses. 1t is
provided that the United States, in awaiting itself of
the rights and advantages stipulated in these provi-
sions of the treaty, will do so in a manner consist
with the rights accorded to Germany under such
provisions.
Provision is made that the United States is not
bound by any of the terms of the league of nations,
nor are we bound by any of the obligations under
parts 2 and 8, sections 1 to 8 inclusive, or part 4 and
part r3 of the Versailles treaty.
The United States is entitled to participate in the
commission and other commissions set up
under the treaty of Versailles, but is not bound to
participate in any such commission unless it elects
to do So"

CLAIMS NOT JUSTIFIED.

Henry Ford's purchase of the Detroit, Toledo G.
Ironton railroad, his subsequent reduction of rates
and increase of wages of common labor, have been
made the subject of much interesting discussion a
large part of which is hardly instructive. There has
been an assumption that what Henry Ford has done
with the D., T. & i. he could do with any other road
and if placed in control could ccomplis the same re-
suits on all roads.
But Mr.. Ford himself has never made any such
claim, nor would it be justified if made. The fact is
that Ford bought the road at a sacrifice sale when it
had such small business that it could not pay ex-
penses. His invested capital is only about half the
actual cost of the road. Ford is the owner Of the
largest automobile factory in the world and is a large
buyer of iron, coal, and the innumerable raw mate
rails that go into an auto. All his freight business he
withdrew from other roads and shipped over the D.,
T. & l., and, moreover, used his control of these ship.
ments over roads beyond his own lines in such a way
as to favor roads that would divert freight to his road
Presumably all the people who travel on Ford bust
ness go over the D., T. & l., if possible. The bulk OF
the business of the D., 7. & l is made up of shipments
to or from the Ford factories.
Let us suppose that Ford continued to own the rail
road but gave up or lost control of the factories
what then would be the condition of the road? Let
US suppose that Ford controlled all the roads anc
shipped his freight without discrimination, what ther
would be the extent of freight shipped over the D., T
& L?
The answer to these queries is obvious. withou+
the favors incident to united ownership of the factor,
and the road, the transportation line would drop bacl
into its former status of insolvency.
The present successful operation of the D., T. & /
does not demonstrate anything of practical value t.

NOT so-cAspER.s CAMP.

"The motor camp idea is spreading like smiles, -
says Leslie's Weekly. "Cities, villages and Yahoo
Center are furnishing sylvan dels with hospitable
zeal and planting signs ~shrieking 'Welcome?-mean-
ing that motorists may camp under them. The recipe
is one old park, a cook stoye, a tree as leafy as Omar's,
a pump and a gypsy atmosphere. The theory is that
man wants but little here below-and his lady love be-
longs TO the brotherhood. =
SIT is foretold that there will be camping parks
from coast to coast and criss-cross-that nomadic
hosts will take to the road because it is cheaper than
paying rent, that communities will migrate on wheels
and swoop from cline to CLINE with a swish that would
make Genghis Kahn dizzy.
Undoubtedly exuberance exaggerates the POSSIBLE
ties and in one western state, at least, it is damaging
the cause. For high house rents aside, the provision
in motor parks of cafeterias, dance halls, community
kitchens. l~aundries, pools and all the flowing scenery
of a roof garden is not likely to attract that large ele-
ment among our modern nomads that goes motor
camping to escape just such associations.
"f we Americans ever do become a migratory folk,
fitting fivverwise from roost to roost, it will be in
search of the privacy and peace which our present CIV
l~lization denies us and only unadulterated nature can
offer"

CUTS BASEBALL SPACE.

When a great metropolitan newspaper like the Chi
.cago Tribune abandons full reports Of baseball and
cuts down the space to something like a half column
of what is called vital statistics, something has gone
wrong with baseball. The Tribune admits that there
is something wrong with professional baseball, and
cites the fact that the Black Sox blackened the char
acter of the game with SO deep a shade that the jury
verdict was powerless to change it. And besides the
Tribune expresses a doubt as to the value of profess
sional baseball to American life and the conviction
that the game is overfed by newspaper space.
From five or six columns to a half column is quite
a come down, but really the thing has been overdone
and the public interest would lag and possibly die were
it not for the newspapers.
The big leagues are purely commercial. They are
imoney-making institutions and the advertising that
makes their business successful is costing them moth
ing at all.
The Tribune says that in future it will pay more at
tention to amateur sports, golf, tennis, trapshooting,
fishing, swimming and amateur ball and the like.
There is more in these amateur games which makes
for better citizenship.
Whether the Tribune's example will be followed by
other metropolitan papers who may feel the same way,
remains to be seen. The Tribune is big enough and
powerful enough to do as it pleases and we believe it
is almost wholly right with reference to professional
baseball.

ing of the almost unheard OF heavy
flight OF ducks southwark at this
time of the year. Thousands OF them
are arriving at the lakes about Cody
daily and the harvest fields OF the
farmers OF the Cody canal are liter
ally covered with the feathered ctran-
gers.
Some OF the old timers prophesied
an early sud hard winter Ger the
western states. while others seem to
think that possibly the better feeding
grounds have attracted the ducks
from the drought stricken territory
to the north. Regardless OF what is
the cause OF their early appearance
they are here. and the season does
not open until September H.
