Substituting Their Debt
for Ours

EUROPE owes our Government about thousand million
r. dollars Our Government owes the people for Liberty
- Loans twenty-one thousand million dollars. Presi-
dent Hardngs plan is to have the foreign governments
send their bonds with rate of interest high enough
absorb the interest hitherto unpaid Those foreign bonds
will be sold here pay off Liberty loans as they come
DUE and thus President Harding will avoid taxing the
people, at least to the extent of ten thousand millions
Instead of taxing Americans who bought Liberty bonds
in order to get money to buy back the Liberty bonds the
Government will sell the foreign bonds and use the money
to pay for Liberty bonds they due Does that
good idea7
The question is at what price will these foreign bonds
be soldf They should not give another opportunity for
proeerng to the profiteers that made the war money
The bond of France or England, paying five and
half per cent interest, and GUARANTEED BY THE
UNITED STATES, ought to be good investment worth

Sentence Fits the Crime
STATE'S prison sente1

4 STATES prison sentence was
~ very properly melted out re-
Gently in the Court of General
Sessions of New York to a young
Mexican who had fleeced a woman
in that city out of nearly 100000 by
inducing her to buy from him spuri-
GUS and worthless Aztec antiques.
The Judge is to be congratulated
on having resisted pleas to exercise
undue leniency in this case. He
sent the swindler to Sing Sing for
a term of from three years and four
months to ten years, not a severe
sentence when the gravity of the
offense is considered.
Swindling with false ANTIQUES is
just as much swindling as with
forged checks or false coins.
The collection of genuine ANTIQUES
and works of art should be en-
couraged, as those objects, if of
genuine value, eventually find their
way into museums for the instruc-
ton of the public. But there is no
instruction to be had from false
works of art, no benefit to be de-
rived either by collectors or by the
public museums.

The Argument
of Old Age
m ALIFORNIA is rich," says
the San Francisco Chron-
-. ala Nand hos Tho habit


of making her sons SO, but she gives
them also so much more in the JOY
of living that prospects of greater
riches count for little against the
delights of life here. Fifty thou
sand year and have to live in New
York, frozen in Winter and swelter-
ing in Summer7 Not while there's
a living and a cottage in Cali
fornia's Eden
The trouble with this statement
is that it is the argument of old age.
2 Old age wants to be comfortable;
youth wants adventure.
And the world is young, not old.
The dominating, pushing, force of
the race, that which drives it to
achievement, pushes population out
to civilize the wilderness, explore
the poles, exploit the tropics, build
New Yorks, Winnipegs, sky-scrap-
ers, railroads, Atlantic liners and
Panama Canals, rs the champagne
bubbles of youth, not the camomile
tea of senescence.
Humanity does not want to be
comfortable; if it did it would not
ride standing in crowded street cars
out to a ball park in August and sit
for an hour or so in the hot sun on
a hard plank watching a number of
gentlemen swat a ball around over
a pasture; they want excitement.
Bread and the circus" has al
ways been the mob's cry, but don't
forget it is the circus it wants quite
as much as the bread.
The people of the United States
continue to jam themselves into I'M
comfortable flats in smoky and rat
ting Chicago and in bustling and
extravagant New York, in swelter7
ing st. Louis and freezing Mime
apolis, for the simplest reason in all
the world-they like it.
They don't want all to go to
sunny California where every pros
pect pleases and only man is vile,
they prefer Pittsburgh, where it's
all vile.
And they do this because they are
young. They don't want an easy
life; they want lively one.
Long John Wentworth, of Chi
cago, once went out to the cemetery
to select a lot for his family. The
custodians showed him some ground
away back ain an exclusive portion
of the place, such as befitted a
wealthy man.
"No," he said, ~ don't want to
be buried back there. It's too slow.
/ want to be buried over there by
the railroad, where there is some
thing going on"
The country and the environment
of beautiful Nature is undoubtedly
the best place for rational beings to
live; but we are not rational.
We are young, bumptious, frisky
and full of Springtime. Hence the
buzz and hustle, instead of quiet and
slippers.
Cities are eruptions of youth.

Ships and Selfishness

/
And King Solomon made a navy of ships in Ezon-
geber which is beside Eloth the shore Of the Red
Sea- in the land Of Edom. And Hiram sent in the navy
his servants, shpmen that had knowledge Of the
with the servants of Solomon. And they to
Ophr and fetched from thence gold four hundred and
twenty talents, and brought it to King Solomon"
ONG before Solomon lived thousands of years before,
built ships, to go after something they wanted
or to escape from something they feared.
The first great navigator of manknds benefacors,
was the creature half half monkey that first strad
died log and padding with his hands, went across
piece of water too wide for his swimming.
Then came paddles made of wood and then boats dug
or burnt out of trunks of trees Next genius noticed
that wind on the water kept him back, decided that the
same wind could help him to go forward, held up with
his friend the hide of animal That the first
sailing ship The rest of the progress you know-the
strange boats the Chinese the great galeys of the
Romans and Greeks driven by slaves chained to their oar
the big merchantmen of Queen Elzabeths day. the Spanish
gaeons and on up to our steamships, motor boats,
submarines and hydro aeroplanes, that go the
water in the air.
Solomon made navy others did it before him; all
the nations with few exceptions have been doing since
his day. How many years will pass before the only
made will be PEACEFUL naves, sent peaceful errandi
The disarmament conference that is coming may tell
something about It, 1t probably VIII not tell us much
Solomon made navy because there something far
off that he wanted. He might have agreed with
other king to stop making navies but those that
after him, when THEY wanted something, would forget
the agreement.
You mag zine the first hafhuman beings that had
boats this EARTH two three hundred thousand
ago. perhaps earlier You them fleeing their
boats when frightened by danger forest fires caused
by lightning careessness You them padding
softly in their boats to surprise weaker people, take
their property, and EAT THEM.
Things have not changed much. Probably in those old
days the chiefs compelled their savage subordinates
build bigger and faster canoes saying f haven't the
BEST boats the others will eat And if HAVE
the best boats go over, steal them get away and
eat them
Unfortunately, while boats have changed enormously
from hollow trunks of trees to steel thousand
feet long, MEN have not changed much.
We no longer eat each other in the flesh But tax
and rob and confiscate and each others
lands
Some day will end but before it ends for good human
beings will probably have to change almost much
their boats have changed.
Meanwhile, it is good thing at least to TALK about
peace Probably human beings thought for thousands
years about giving up cannbasm They told how horrible
it was what bad example for little boys before giving
it up. But they DID give it up at last.
Now the average would rather die of hunger than
kill and eat one of his fellows.
The time may come when would stay poor rather
men.

The March
of EUents

brought suit IN the courts OF
the United States to recover
two ships belonging to it. While
making an order to submit briefs,
Judge Manton, of New York, said:
ut is no more government
than the Republic of Ireland.
Evidently the Russian govern
ment's chance of getting its prop
erty is slim. Nevertheless, the
courts remark shows that it is pos
sible for a Federal judge to be pain
fully deficient in both law and
history.
The Soviet Government has ruled
for nearly -four years d country
much larger and more populous
than the United States. 1t has been
recognized by Great Britain and
Italy and all the Near East govern
ments. 1t is just as much a govern
ment as is ours or any government
in Europe.
But suppose all that were not so.
What necessity is there to go out
of the way to sheer at and insult
the Irish Republican Government!
The Dali Eireann is just as certainly
the representative Government of
the Irish Republic in 1921 as the
Continental Congress was OUR rep
resentative Government in 1881
and both the Irish Republican Gov
eminent and the men fighting
under its banner for freedom de-
serve the respect of every American
who owes his own liberties to the
endurance and valor of his rebel
forefathers who fought under Wash
ington exactly as these Irish soldiers
are fighting under De Valera.
The other day Baron Sergius A.
Korff told the Institute of Politics
at Williamstown, Massachusetts,,
that the friendship of Russia and
England was due to the Estates
manlike vision" of Edward VII,
who saw Germany as the menace
of civilization. The speaker also
lauded the settlement Of the Persian
situation at the time Morgan Shus-
ter was the Persian Government s
adviser.
The actual truth is that Edward
VII and the Car secretly agreed
to divide Persia between them,
though neither had the slightest
right to any part of Persia, and
that between them they drove Shus-
ter, the American adviser of the
Shah, from Persia.
England's purpose was to divert
Russian ambition from India, and
to this end Persia was sacrificed
and the poor, silly Gar was lured
by the promise Of Constantinople to
hurl his millions of moujiks against
Germany-to the destruction of his
house and himself, and the ruin
of Russia.
From the tenor of the French and
British official comments, it is evil
dent that the European diplomats
will work hard at the disarmament
conference here to form another
Five-Power Alliance.
This expectation must by all
means be disappointed. This coun-
try wants no alliance with anv
Power. The interests of France or
England or Japan are neither more
nor less to us than the interests of
Russia or Germany. We have no
more concern with Belgium than
with Holland.
The period of sentimentality is
past, and our business is to treat
all nations alike, to trade fairly
with all, to wrong none, to hate
none, to toady to none, and, above
all, to have entangling alliances
