The passage of the bill granting ad-
ditional aid to the railroads, which al
ready owe the government sum stat
ed by some congressional spokesman
as high as 1871, 10000 will be stub
bornly contested in the Senate as it
was in the House, but it is doubtful if
it will develop a party lineup. There
is reason to believe that some Demo-
Gratis may support the bill on the
ground that the money so advanced
to the roads may be used to stimulate
employment and for betterment of the
properties; on the other hand. it is
certain the bill will have strong oppo-
sition on the Republican side from Ger.
tain Western Senators as it had
among Western Representatives in the
House, rs of whom voted against it
on final passage in that body.

WHY MAIN STREET"


A few short months ago the literary
world blazed with the praise of rev
novel entitled "Main Street." The
new book purported to be a MASTER
piece of vivid and truthful tones of
people and scenes in the average
country town. The blazing aforesaid
was done by other novelists, to whom
was given the task of "2viewing the
book and who, of course expected the
author of main Street" to be as en-
thusiastic as they when he. in turn,
wrote reviews of their books.
A few shcrt months have passed
and main Street" has fallen. 1t
blazed like a rocket and went out like
one. "Main Street" did not visualize
the average country town by long
shot and the people who were en-
weighed into buying it were disar-
pointed.
Down east, certain Would-h he high
brows are trying fearfully hard to lit
present day American literature by
its bootstraps. They pretend that ev-
cry few weeks a great novel is pro-
duced by some American writer. We
don't believe they dupe themselves,
but the solemn nasty truth is that
they are duping the American ruhiic.

1921, with the works of Mark Twain.

our fathers. 1t is not bit too much
to say that no wild west story of re-

Keer ing the Home Fires Burning

Recessing Republican Congressman
have found one spot hotter than
Washington, and that is Home. Ac-
cording to the Washington CORE
spondent of the New York World
"they are coming back to Washing
ton as fast as trains can rum" after
only two weeks of the recess period.
"The reason is that they got too warm
reception at home. The folks want
ed to know generally why the admin
istraticn had been six months doing
none of the big things promised, and
how it felt to be Congressman and
taking rest at such time.
Zone Republican who is back on the
job today" the correspondent contin-
ues, "went home to spend at least a
month. He stood the gait just three
days. He told some Of his colleagues
the situation politically was serious.
The folks back home are hot he said
They besieged me with questions the
whole time was there"
From other sources also it is learned
that wherever the Republican recess
ing Congressman went their constitu-
ents presented them with the "Voters'
QUESTIONABLE for Republican Con
gressmen," recently published in this
correspondence, with the result that
many of them found it much more
comfortable in Washington than at
home.
At the joint celebration of Lafay-
cites birthday and the seventh ami
versary of the first battle of the
Marine in New York, the orator of the
occasion was Maj. Gen. John F.
Organ, commander of the 9th Di-
vision, who took occasion to censure
Ambassador Geo. Harvey for his
speech impugning The motives of our
troops in the war. He said:
when we read the recent speech
of Mr.. Harvey to the effect that we
went into the war to save our own
skins, We were shocked by the frivo-
lous impudence Of enc whose official
position should prompt him to know
something of the generous and chival-
rous purposes of the young men of
America who went into the war"
Despite the deep resentment felt by
our fighting men, war mothers and
the public generally against Ambas-
sador Harvey for his frivolous i'm
pudence" and gratuitous SANDER, he
remains at the Court of St. Jamess
as the personal representative of
President Harding.

feeling for the foreigners in our midst,
and since the war Americanization
has been one of the chief issues of our
religious programs" Mrs. Hunter
said.
1.-The wide-awake preacher will see
that the Bible School. which is evan
gelistic and educational, should be
linked up with thiSw work. In the first
place, the Bible school is qualified to
do this work, for it reaches the chill
dren and, indeed, the child of the for
eigner is the strategic point.
lowing to the severe struggle for
existence, foreign parents have prac-
tically no time to devote to the train
ing of their children. They are turned
out on the streets to receive their ed
ucation, and they are quick to learn
the lessons from the gang. Thus they
may receive no moral culture. There
fore, a concerted effort of our Bible
school forces to teach this young life
and instill in them high moral and
religious ideals is the best missionary
work in which it would be possible to
engage.
"ln the second place, the Bible
school affords the least expensive
method of work among the foreigners,
for it can supply larger number of
voluntary workers. What we need
is men, not money.

Shall One Man Do What He Pfeascs
With $I1, OOO, OO0, 900 War Loans7

That our war loans to foreign gov
ernments ought to be funded no one
disputes. That the transactions ought
to be in the open and above board and
that the refunding plan should have
the sanction of Congress before it is
put in operation or before the deals
are contaminated ought not to be
matter Of dispute, as Democratic lead
ers of the Senate see it.
But the funding of this enormous
