that If every young woman did this
exercise n dozen times day, pro-

where the organs are contracted.
Some give the exercise without sup
port to the feet. the best authori-
ties agree that this way the results
are very slight. With the feet sup
ported the pull comes on the abdom-
iDal muscles, reducing all extra flesh
there and adding strength.
The body must be raised steadily
and slowly, jerky motions will not do
any good.

. Thirty-six years ago a slim lad named Arthur
Capper, just graduated from high school in a
Kansas village. went down to Topeka in search
Of his fortune. He did not know just what road
he would travel to success. but he was confident
Of attaining it.
He had stuck a little type in the office Of the
weekly paper In his native town and so. quite
timidly he applied for work at the office Of the
Topeka Capital.
This happened a Monday which was like
wise payday, and In those days even Kansas was
wet. The printers on the Capital 1t happened,
had mostly gone Jamboree. So the fore
man in the composing room gave the youngster
a job. Thus was he thrust into the thrill of
night work in the making of a daily paper
few months later the city editor FOUND HIM
self face to face with an emergency An i'm
reporter in the office to send out on 1t. He
stuck his head into the composing room and
he could cover a story. Young Capper volun-
teered. Thus did he get into the Writihs emu Oh
the game.
Twenty-seven years ago Arthur Capper spent
SIX months in Washington as a correspondent
He was experimenting around and gaining ex-
perience. He lived in a boarding house on New
York avenue where he paid $1OoO week for
room and board. In that six months he gained
weight. He ran his averdupois up from 1872 to
1924 pounds. 1t is the most he has ever weighed,
Thus fortified he returned to Kansas. Before
long he owned the paper on which he had nrst
worked One by one he developed other publi-
cations, mostly agricultural, until now he owns
ten Of them. There 10000 people in Maine
and 100000 in Washington State who read Cap.
per publications. The plant which prints all
these publications is the biggest west OF Chicago
But Arthur Capper does not work regularly
at editing these publications. He Is United
States Senator and unofficial adviser to the
United states on matters agricultural Once In a
while he becomes worried over the right Of
wrong Of some public question. He prints slip
which asks his correspondents to vote on IT. This
slip he puts in every letter that goes out from
his plant, and these are numerous. The answers
trickle In, day by day, week by week. Pretty
he has a poll, far-flung, nonpsrtfsan. He
believes It may be taken as the pulse OF public
opinion. Since he believes in the reliability OF
the will OF the majority, he puts much store by
these expressions Of opinion.
Representative Lemue Padgett of Tennessee
still tells at his own expense an incident that
happened twenty years ago.
After President Mckinley was killed a bill
was introduced into Congress to appropriate
$4,000 to cover the expense Of his funeral Mr..
Padgett favored IL. Though Democrat he be-
leved that the funeral expenses of the martyred
President should be borne by the nation.
Mrs. Padgett differed with him. She argued
that Mrs. Mckinley would want to bear the ex-
pense.

AIR. WILSON'S recent appeal to
III England and France to cease

M England and France to cease
A'A making war upon Russia is the
first sensible thing anybody con-
nected with the Administration has
said in three years. And, as usual,
the conduct of the Administration
directly contradicts the words of
the Administration.
As far as the Administration can
manage it, we are making war upon
Russia just as much as England and
France are. The very day the Presi-
dent published his appeal to the
other powers to treat Russia in
more conciliatory way the repre-
sentative of the Russian government
was driven from the United States
by order of Mr.. Wilson. Mr.. Martens
was not dismissed, as were the rep
resentatives of the German and Aus
trian kaisers. He was ordered de-
ported as an undesirable alien.
Studied insult was added to the in
jury done the Russian government
insult that was unjustifable, sense
less and highly inimical to future
good relations with Russia.
The Presidents appeal to the pow
ers shows that he has recovered his
mental faculties sufficiently to write
in his former style. But it also shows
that he still retains his fatal facility
of facing two ways. Also that his
armor of self-conceit has not been
pierced, even by the tremendous re-
buke of the election. He still speaks
as Sir Oracle and lectures Europe's
leaders as though addressing class
from a professors chair. And when
he has said his say he has only re-
peated, months afterward, what the
Hearst papers have said over and
over again months before.
The folly and stupidity of the
wars against Soviet Russia, in which
Mr.. Wilson unlawfully embroiled the
United States, are now apparent to
everybody. And Mr.. Wilson now
turns an abrupt about-face and lee
lures France and England about
their conduct toward Russia with
an air of discovery and surprise that
would be comical if it were not so
reminiscent of tragedy. No wonder
Europe sneers and Americans count
the days until common sense and
common honesty of speech and con-
duct are to revisit the White House.

Organized
MinOrities

~ NE reason why Democracy
ID imps is that there is no or
ganization of its majority.
All the organizations in this coun-
try are organizations of minorities.
1t is self-evident that no group can
act unless it be organized.
1t can feel, suffer, protest and
celebrate, but not act.
Hence little cohort of ten men
organized can have its way over a
thousand men unorganized.
! That is what is now taking place
everywhere among us.
A little bunch of astute politicians
do as they please with a convention
of a thousand men. What the great
bulk of the voters said about our
late political nominees made little
matter. Both Cox and Harding were
selected by a small cabal.
Every large city in the United
States is governed, in actuality, by
a small number Of expert politicians.
This is not criminaity. 1t is the
working out of natural law.
That law is that organized matter
always controls unorganized, and
feeds on it.
AS fish floats in the sea, so
The Washington times., 1921-02-05

Tammany, for instance, floats in the
unorganized multitude of New York
ers. Hence Tammany sometimes
has it's way, because the vast ma
jority does not know what it wants,
nor how to get it if it did know.
Labor unions, clubs, churches,
political parties, lodges, societies
that is as far as we have got. We
can organize little Jumps but not the
whole mass.
We can organize religion in sects
only. We can only be Catholics,
Protestants, Jews-we cannot yet be
simply God-conscious men.
We can feel enthusiasm for Nor
gan county, or Illinois, or the United
States, but world consciousness is
not yet vital.
In fact, we call Internationalists
cranks, because it is as much an
offense to go too fast for evolution
as to lag behind.
Hence, we feel Glasses, Parties,
and Nations; we cannot feel HUI
manity. 1t has a crazy sound, for
the nerve of Humanity is not yet
formed.
And all minorities are cruel and
selfish. Only the majority is warm,
understanding and forgiving.
But the majority will organize
some day. That will be the millen-
mum.

On Russia, We Talk One
Way and Act Opposite

the aDlest men III EnBlhnu, the
ablest men in the United States, the
most sensible men in France are
agreed that the vindictive, lying
and shameful plan of dismember-
ment, spoliation and subjugation of
the conquered to the conquerors,
which was formulated by Wilson,
Clemenceau and George, cannot pos
siby be basis of peace and Sc
curity. So they are all deplOring
the spirit of hatred and the lust for
revenge which make it impossible
to reconstruct the political and
economic comfy between the ma
tions which fought the war, without
which restored comfy the con-
querors as well as the conquered
will go down in one common ruin.
It is sad to reflect that these same
men were formerly so active in the
propaganda of hate and revenge.
The Hearst papers always deprecated
this spirit, always deplored this
propaganda, always maintained that
the war should be waged upon high
er grounds and with more honorable
and manly weapons than lies and
appeals to the baser emotions. We
knew we'll then, what all intelligent
men know now, that those who
lighted and fed the fires of hatred
among the peoples would live to see
the conflagration beyond control
and threatening to devour victors
as we'll as vanquished. But the
voices of prudence and foresight
and common sense were drowned,
in those days, by the furious clamor
Of the crowd, maddened by the rant
ing appeals Of writer's and speakers
who made capital of their tempo
rary opportunity to exalt themselves
and their feeble mentalities in the
abused name of patriotism.
There is but one cure for all the
evil done by these apostles and
propagandists of hate.
That is to quit hating.
And we Americans ought to set
the example, and set it generously
and greatly, as becomes a generous
and great people.
We ought to look facts in the
face; to reflect that civilized society
cannot prosper while one-half of the
civilized peoples are hated by the
other half; that Europe cannot pos
sibly even so much as start on the
long road to full recovery until
spirit of friendliness and sympathy
and cooperation is encouraged and
fostered between all peoples; and
that all plans to keep alive hatred
and to inflict distress and suffering
are plans to inflict irreparable in
jury and loss upon every people un-
der the sun-ourselves not excepted.
