spend any money for flowers or boiled shirts or any of the things which make life beautiful and attractive. If man spends lot of money for gorgeous lawn, with real trees and expensive flowers. and all sorts of ornaments, he's doing It because he wants to be praised by the people who see 1t all. You don't see any such lawns in lone some rural districts. There the front yard always Is a calf pasture.
 "The farmer reasons that it's no use having 6 pretty lawn, for there's mo- body to admire 1t. Nobody ever goes past the place except an occasional lightning rod agent or man who Is taking orders for fruit trees.
 "Why don't you sheer at the town man who puts so much money into beautiful grounds? It's all grand stand play. He expects to get adver- Using out of it, and he does, and he deserves it. We shouldn't criticize any man who is doing good. even if we don't like his methods.
 Some people say that Skimback is trying to atone for all the sinfulness of his past career. It is argued that until recent years he never gave away anything, but was after the dollars by day and night, and didn't care who got hurt so he overlook and captured them. They tell of mortgages he fore closed, causing unspeakable suffering here and there. He is accused of re- sorting to every dark trick to increase his hoard Most of the stories prob ably are bunk, but what if they are true? Now that he shows signs of re- pentence in his old age we should en- courage him in every possible way, and if he gives photograph to the high school. or puts up public drink ing fountain in the public square, we should tell him he's everybody's dar- ling, and not dig up a lot of ancient history for his confusion.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SPEECH MADE AT YORKTOWN, PA.

A few hours after the senate rati-
fed the separate treaty Of peace with
Germany. President Harding made a
League Of Nations speech at York
town
To be sure, the President was care
full not to mention the League by
name, but he described it with felici
tious accuracy as the goal Of ciyiliza-
ton. He spoke eloquently of the
worlds aspirations to realize the no
blest ideals for mankind of "a fresh
hungering for understanding, a new
call for cooperation, clear convic-
ton of purposes and devotions and
loyalties not limited to soverignties
nor national boundaries" Woodrow
hes never gone further than
that
To make his argument still more
conclusive, President. Harding con-
tinued in impressive words:
Shall mankind, then, go on yet for
generations, for centuries, knowing
but refusing to be guided by these
truths? Not if conscience and reason
are properly asserted. / believe the
time is come when there must be re-
cognition of essential cooperation
among nations, devoted, each Of them
in its own peculiar way, to the COM
mon good, the progress, the advance
Of all human kind. Let us hope that
we stand at the dawn of new day in
which nations shall be stronger for
contribution to the worlds betterment
because each v III feel the assurance
of common purpose and united aspira-
tion and the security of common de-
votion to the ends of peace and civil
ization
At this point the President evidently
began to sense the CONSERVATION of
the Republican majority in the United
States senate and made the qualifica-
tion that zone need not picture a
world soyeringty ruling over all the
varying races, traditions and nationael
cultures because it will never be- OF
course it will never be, nor has any
body ever proposed it. The President
was describing something that never
existed in the Imagination of certain
Republican Senators. and they never
believed it to be real 1t was a picture

FORCING THE STRIKE


The Clearwater Sun says: 1T ap-
pears that the railroad strike has
been called with the purpose Of fore
ing the government to take over the
railroads. That's a consummation
deyoutly to be wished by the railroad
men, but the public will vigorously
oppose it.
Ii the Florida Railroad Commits
sion and the strawberry growers do
not win this demand for reduction
of rates, says the Tampa Tribune, then
we had better dismiss the commission,
dig our berry fields, and hand the
whole state over to the railroads.

BUT ONE EXCUSE FOR a TARIFF


Why is tariff? The only excuse
we can conceive of is the good old
democratic one of "a tariff for reve-
nue. only" The government must
have a revenue, a big one, for many
years to come, and the easiest and
simplest way to assess and collect it
is upon imports as they are brought
into the country. An attempt is made
to salve the dose to the consumer
by the assertion that sthe foreigner
pays the tax" So he does in the first
of the article as it passed along
from hand to hand until it reaches
the ultimate consumer, who pays
many times more than the govern
ment receives. It is an expensive
way of raising revenue but it passes
with the people without much com
plaint, because they fail to realize
how much they are paying. They
pay in small sums on many occasions.
and very few ever know how much
it costs them in the aggregate That
is a tariff for revenue. If properly
adjusted, on few articles, not pro-
duced in the country, it is possibly
as little oppressive as any tax can be-
England raised great revenue be-
fore the world war, by such tariff
levied on a few articles, none of which
she produced.
4 tariff fer protection is quite a
differ .aatter. 1t is levied on a
sat multitude of articles, for when
sf the word goes out that there is
= new tariff to be constructed by
the protectionists. all the infant in
dustries' in the land gather in the
tails of congress and clamor for a
aiece of the pie Revenue becomes
4 secondary consideration and pro
lection" the main thing. The tariff
makers forget, or do not know that
~ dollar of pure protection grant
"a to any industry must be paid by
ai' the people. The first aim of the
eetionists is to raise the price
Of s'.tad article, and that aim,
If il IS ftll, raises the cost of
living about which the people are
already groaning.
The Fordney tariff thinkers have
not yet sensed the changed condi-
ton brought about by the war. For
years while we were developing our
country, we We're debtor nation,
borrowing from other nations the cap
itai for our own development. Now
we are the greatest creditor nation
en- earth and the nations of Europe
owe US billions of money. They can
only pay in goods, and we propose
so bar cut their goods and take our
chances Of payment in cash. It's a
suicidal policy Tampa Times.

which are quite as jealous of race,
culture and traditions as we can ever
be have Joined the League of Nations
without the faintest suspicion ttat any
thing relating to their nationality has
been sacrificed.
Mr. Harding need not be censured,
however, for meaningless qualifica-
ton. He has nothing that resembles
free hand in shaping the foreign pol
icy of the country. At every turn he
must deal with the Volivas of his own
party in the senate, who like the other
Voliva in Zion City, Ill.,, are tenacious
" holding to the doctrine that the
earth is fiat and stationary, that it is
encircled by ice which keeps people
from falling off the rim, that the sun
is thirty-two miles in diameter and
only 1000 miles away and that the law
Of gravitation is fallacy.
II the President were to undertake
the task of converting the Zion City
colony to semitic theory of the uni
verse and if the votes of two-thirds of
Noliva's followers were required for
the ratification Of the scientific theory
he would naturally proceed cautiously
and circumspectly, just as he did with
the Republican Senators in his speech
at Yorktown He would not he too
emphatic in insisting that the earth
is round. The essential thing is that
Mr., Harding himself has come to per-
ceive the stupidity of a fictitious iso-
lation and is talking boldly about inter
national cooperation. 1t is not i'm
portant that he still hesitates to men
tion the League of Nations by name.
That can wait until another day, after
the senators have recovered from the
shock of his appeal for international
cooperation and a realization of the
aims and objects of the League.
The PRESIDENT is making progress
slowly, but he is making progress.
Events and not arguments are taking
the United States into the League of
Nations, and events are inexorable.
Mr. Harding has begun to see it. BY
the time the Washington Conference
has finished its work he will see it still
more clearly. -. World.
