S25,0O0,000
FOR What?

What are we going to get out of that
S25,000,OO0 this government is to pay
the government of Columbia?
By consenting to this payment we
tacitly admit that this government
was in a measure instrumental in the
secession of Panama. 1t is within
this seeded territory that General
Goethals performed the greatest en-
gineering feat of history by construct
ing the Panama canal, which we own.
Central and South American repub-
lies are never quite at ease regarding
the United States. There is always a
lurking suspicion that We entertain
ulterior designs toward them, with
the possibility of extending the folds
of the American flag to cover the en-
tire continent at some future day.
But we have no such intentions. We
have troubles enough of our own with
out assuming those of an alien race
whose habits, customs and inclinations
are not in harmony with our own.
Is this government so great that it
Is willing to admit mistake of the
past to make restitution to the extent
OF s25, 100000?
Or is it cold bloded effort to pur-
chase that brotherly love that we all
know does not exist?
Or what is it?
$25,000,000 is a lot of money. 1t
means much to Columbia.
But where do We come in?
Do we simply cough up and forget,
or is there hidden string to the deal?

TOO MANY AGES

II want our America to have moth
ing to do with any nation that is not
willing to sit at the table and show it's
cards." said the president in a recent
New York speech.
A fine sentiment, and one which
would revolutionize the world if other
nations desired and practiced the same
Laying their cards on the table, tho.
is just what the nations of the old
world will not do. European countries
have been stepped in diplomatic du-
pllclty for so many years it has be-
come bred in the bone, a part of their
national life.
To carry out the laudable desire of
the president it would be necessary to
build Chinese wall around the United
States and seal every entrance and
exit. We would have to shut off all
communication with the outside world
and become nation completely isolat
ed from the rest of humanity.
Lay their cards on the table?
We fear every deck would contain
at least dozen aces.

TOO MANY
SOMEBODY'S

Mr.. Hoover says that 100000 work
ers are idle in Europe In this country
an even greater number are idle.
Europe was Frustrated by the great
war, wrecked in body, soul and fnan-
ces. America was financially benefit
ted.
Why are so many people idle in this
country when every man should be
producing something?
There is some excuse for idleness in
Europe. There is no excuse here.
The comparison is not dattering to
our intelligence, but looking the truth
in the face may do some good.
Some one is cumming the works and
throwing monkey wrenches into the
machinery.
Too many somebody's, we fear.

THROWINGSTONES

The public is becoming nauseatec
with the case of the New York banker
who brought suit for divorce against
his wife, claiming that another man is
the father of her baby boy.
The wife fought for her good name
and the Legitimacy of her child, and
she fought hard and with startling re-
suits. She charged, and claims to be
able to prove, that the banker, while
attacking her purity, was even deeper
IL the mire-was in fact maintaining
another woman as his wife under an
assumed name. There, too, child is
to be found.
Before his attempt to besmirch his
wife In order to secure his freedom
he was man of commanding position
in the financial world. Now he is no
longer at the head of his bank, is look
ed upon with suspicion by the public,
and is said to be contemplating a resi-
dence abroad.
He can be spared-he will not be
missed-the air may even be purer
when he is gone.
The American people do not look
with favor upon guilty men who throw
stones.

USE THE
iron FIST

Many country people are viewing
the reign of banditry in the cities with
increasing uneasiness.
Instead of diminishing, the number
of criminals seems to be increasing
There appears to be no end to them.
Men who, through lack of employ
ment, enter a life of crime do not like
to go back to work again Stealing re-
quires less exertion.
If the city authorities wake up and
drive these hordes of bandits from
their limits at least a portion of them
will be migrating to the country in
search of easy prey. Our own COM
munity may not be exempt from their
unwelcome visits.
An iron fist should be waiting for
every one of them who invades this
territory.
Unwelcome guests should not be
permitted to grow grass under their
feet in our midst.
Keep 'em moving.

SCRAPPING.
over THEF|GH1

1t took five years to fight the world
war. 1t was some fight.
At the present rate of speed it will
take twenty-five years to adjust the
difficulties growing out of that war.
1t may even become necessary to
tight another war, with an entirely
different lineup of nations.
+ Do not make the mistake of think
ing that we have seen le end of all
wars. We have not. 1t is nowhere in
sight. We doubt if it is even serious
ly considered by the men who really
control the affairs Of Europe.
There was never more diversified
bitterness and jealousy than there is
IN Europe today. Trust and confidence
are unknown. Suspicion and hatred
are everywhere.
The powerful allies are exasperated
at the procrastination of Germany
Ihey can not even come to lasting
agreement among themselves.
In the meantime some of the little
countries are happy in the enjoyment
OF another scrap.
The volcano is daily sounding the
danger signal. 1t may break forth in
eruption at any time.
We were drawn into the last war
against our will. 1t is difficult to see
how we can keep out of the next one.
In the meantime, is our powder dry :?
Or have we any powder?

greatest city of snow-white tents ever
erected on any grounds will be seen
fully one hundred-count them-ful-

give one hundred and fifty superior

classify, too many to name, too
multifarious to describe, Bareback
riding, hurdling, trick, fancy and
manege riding, aerial acts, grand
gymnastics, tumbling, vaulting, leap
ing, athletic and contortion feats,
juggling, equilibristic pole balancing
breaking ladders and other acts.

home artists. Remember the date
and do not miss the Big Show.

Think THIS over

Press dispatches have been paving
the way for another huge French loan
to be placed in the United States. This
time, if the dispatches are correct, we
will be asked to lend cold hundred
million dollars to our friends across
the water, in addition to the billions
they already owe US.
The cables also tell another story
"a very interesting one.
Paris is going fashion mad. The
whirl and gayety is the liveliest that
has been seen in many years. Stupen-
dous sums of money are spent on
jewels, and dress, and the races, and
the opera, and the continual round of
expensive receptions and entertain
ments.
They have plenty of money with
which to satisfy their vanity or their
craving for excitement, but apparent
ly they have none for the rehabilita-
ton Of France.
We are not fond Of criticising our
neighbors, for we wish all nations and
all peoples well. But we feel that the
time has arrived for a just criticism
criticism that the French have brot
upon themselves by their social prodi-
gality when a season of frugality is
imperative.
If the French government wants an
other hundred million dollars it should
apply to its own people who are throw
ing their money away on frivolity.
The French exhibited a sublime pa
triotism during the war. Even a small
portion of the same patriotic spirit
in time of peaceful reconstruction will
supply the French government with all
of the money it requires.
If the French people who are so
prodigal in their spending have not
sufficient faith in their government to
advance the funds it requires, then
that fact itself is sufficient reason for
America to say "No."
Close the door to the new French
loan.
That hundred million dollars can
be proftably employed right here in
our own country.

too MUCH
ATHLETICS

Athletic sports appear to be about
the most important thing in college
life OF the average young man of to-
day.
If he doesn't go in for the round of
sports he is apt to be termed a grub
worm and find himself more or less
Isolated from the companionship of his
fellows.
If he becomes an enthusiastic
sportsman he he is in danger of neg
Letting his studies to the detriment of
his education and his future.
The promotion of athletics is desira-
BILE up to certain point but the tend
ency of the day is to ignore that point
and go the limit, even to the sacrifice
OF educational proficiency in lines that
are necessary in modern commercial
life.
This is not an age when young men
learn to read and write and add and
subtract and then go out into the
world and compete for success.
Employers are becoming more ex-
acting each day. They require some
thing more than a football or a stroke
record from their employees. They
insist upon stability, common sense
and an ability to produce the goods"
There are many noted critics of our
higher educational institutions of to-
day, and these critics have little con-
fldence in the ability of the average
college graduate.
When shrewd employers place a
value OF SO week upon the services
OF young men just out OF college there
would seem to be something wrong
with the system under which these
young men have been trained.
Too much athletics may become az
detrimental to the individual as mona
at all.

"Sell Your Hammer and Buy a Horn
A FABLE

A town there was where business men
Had goodly merchandise;
Most up-to-date the stock they had,
But did not advertise.
The merchants said, 'We'H save the
coin
Which otherwise we'd spend
For advertising and invest
It to some better end"
The scheme they tried. No longer they
Informed the public we'll
Regarding prices, quality
And goods they had to sell.
No more they called attention to
Commodities they had
And for time it seemed as though
The scheme was not so bad.
But soon the merchants learned this
truth;
The buyer wants to know
Where he can DO the best and why,
Before he spends his dough.
And so they brought upon themselves
What always will befall
To men who do not advertise:
Their trade-they lost it all.
This couldn't happen in our town,
Our business men are wise;
They early learned the lesson in,
at Pays To ADVERTISE"
They know it pays no matter what
May be your point of view,
Because it helps the business men
And pays the public too!
