American Indemnities.
(NeW York WOrld.)

Lord Bryce in the second of his addresses at the Political Institute in Williamstown said of the Ger man indemnites that while they based recog- nzed principles "it remains doubtful what will be Germany's ability pay.'
 The American people, however. paying equal ndemnities in the form of military expenditures. and the Administration is little disturbed about 1t that MT Harding considers the settlement of all the Far Eastern and Pacific questions of more im- portance than agreement for the limitation of armament
 As The World has already shown, while the Ger mans paying $33 900 900 900 to the Allies cans will be paying $33 3OnO 000. .0OO for armament At the presen; rate the German reparaton expenditures actually less than the American armament expend- lures. Germany is sweating her reparaion payments out of her labor. and that in way s what the United States is doing. for the general demand for the liquidation of labor is due to the heavy taxation that the Government is exacting from industry
 Mir Melons taxation program comes back to the question of disarmament, does every other propOsal relative to Government fnince. This Is :he great leak and until is stopped there can be adequate relief to the harassed taxpayers Noth- ing could be absurd than that the American people at this time in the worlds affairs should be spending more than 3900 0OO. 900 year on prepa- raions tor future wars that the penalty of victory should exceed the penalty of defeat.
 The American indemnties not so dramatic as Germany's. Economists do not write learned articles demonstrating the inability of the people to pay or to show what it will mean to the indus try Of the world if they try to pay. Forward look ing statesmen of other countries do not express their sympathy because of the harsh terms that have been imposed upon innocent, hard working Americans by Congress. In fact, nobody sympa- thizes with them at all and they do not deserve any sympathy. If they fools enough to slave for the miitarists and the munition onmakers they have nobody to blame but themselves.
 Nevertheless the record is the record and ar mament is costing the United States as much as separations are costing Germany

THE PROMOTER.

Among the most unappreciated members
 of every western community, and yet one
 who deserves anything but the scorn of his
 fellows is the promoter He is the who,
 being unable time himself down to some
 hard and fast line of endeayor gives
 pression to his energies by seeking out the
 things that eventually go to make up the
 sources of all lines of business He is more
 often called a visionary than practical
 man, yet out of his imagination and
 deavor many big things grow in which he
 shares but little If he recOups competence
 he usually launches forth upon another
 idea and again something grows The fra
 ternity may best be characterized as the scouts
 of finance and business. If he happens to
 succeed in amassing a fortune he is called
 lucky yet the amounts of energy expended in
 the behalf of others is far in excess of that
 which he gives to his aggrandizement
 But for the promoter America would
 reach the Europe stage of fixed order of
 things in which the only chance man had
 for securing a competency for old age would
 be by inheritance by sticking to wage
 job and saving his rainy day fund by
 nickels and dimes It is the play of imagination that buoys
 up American life and prevents from
 being beaten when the hoar frost of age
 crowns their heads. st
 The habit of calling the promoter "hot
 air. artist is unjust as it is detrimental to
 advancement. The term is often used by
 those who not being able to see beyond
 their own four walls, envy the of energy
 who is trying they usually the camp
 fOllowers-the men who live not by their
 creative ingenuity, but who profit by the
 success of others in the form of a pay en-
 velope of one-man business nchorage

DIR. GILLEN SPEAKS
AT KIWANIS LUNCHEON

Members of the Kiwanis club were
given a very interesting and informa-
tive talk last Thursday by DIR. Gillen,
employed by the u. S. Government
in the work of testing cattle for tuber-
culosis bacilli, and who is carrying the
work on in Medina county at this
time.
mot only are the breeders of good
cattle interested in getting rid of tu-
berculosis, but the consumers of milk
are also anxious to join hands with
them to free the country of this ter
rible plague" said DR.. Gillen, who al
so stated that about 1870 of tubercu-
losis in people can be traced back to
cattle that had the disease. He cited
a number of striking examples to
drive home this point.
DR.. Gillen pointed out that since the
health of a community was endapger-
ed it was important that enough funds
be appropriated to pay for carrying
on the work and compensate the own
er for reacting cattle. The Ohio leg
islature has appropriated only $4,000
for this work. when you know that
in Medina county alone 81 reactors
have been found since July l, you can
see that the appropriation is not large
enough to sufficiently meet the loss
to the cattlemen," said DR.. Gillen.
Before closing his remarks DR.. Gil
len asked the club to assist in the cam
paign to eliminate tuberculosis in
cattle by asking Representative Frank
Lytle to use his influence in the legis-
lature for larger appropriation for
the work. The movement in this res
pect was started at once by County
Agent Halderson being asked to form
ulate a resolution embodying in de-
tailed form the suggestion of DR.. Gil
len, when it will be endorsed by the
club and sent to Representative Lytle.
To date Medina county has 81 tested
herds with 877 cattle. There are
about 10000 cattle in the county. The
results OF last weeks tests are as fol-
lows: .
Geo. Coleman, Is tested, no reac-
tors; James Crum, f tested, no reac-
tors. J. Fl. Cadmium & Son, % tested,
| reactor; Theo. Chapman, IA tested,
8 reactors; R. J. Mooney, IA tested, 2
reactors; H. B. Wideman, 28 tested,
2 reactors; c. c. Sommer, 38 tested,
no reactors; R. S. Ringer, J tested, no
reactors. .
