matter how highly placed. no matter what
responsibilities they bear, never grow up.
Again is my theory proven by the conduct of
that dignified body. the United States Senate.
President Harding went to the Capitol not
long ago while the Senate in session. He
likes 1t around the Capitol because he has spent
many pleasant years in that atmosphere. So,
instead of calling one after another of the Sen
ators who help shape the course of events TO the
White House for conference, he went to them
and gathered half a dozen of them about a table
in the Senate restaurant to talk matters over
Senator Smoot, who was not in the conference,
vsualized that group. He conceived that those
of their selection and might be inclined to
swagger over their associates who had been left
out
So he proceeded to make that luncheon some
thing of a chaotic affair. This he accomplished
by insisting on rollcalls on every question that
up in the Senate Thus he dragged each
of the Presidents guests away from the table
half dozen times and converted the occasion
into more of procession than conference.

much less famous person. Every one knows that
they introduce chapter OF SCOTS great novel
"OId Mortality" and almost every one supposes
that they his He did not, indeed say that
they were his, but so many of the verses that he
prefixed to the chapters of his novels-often at
tributing them to Anon--were of his own COM
position that II was easy to suppose that those
were also. Now, however, fellow Scotsman,
James Rankin, OF Galashiels, has discovered the
real author. According to a recent letter in
literary contemporary, he discovered the origi-
nal poem in which the lines appear In Edin-
burgh weekly paper published In 1901, and en-
titled "The Bee" The poem was written by a
certain Major Mordsunt and was printed TWEEN

NeW Form, of Slavery
Urqed in HaUaii Islands
THE House Committee on immigration has reported

T1HE House Committee immigration has reported
most extraordinary resolution in favor of permitting
the planters of Hawaii to import fifty thousand
Chinese coolies to work bonded slaves the plan
taons for five years and hen if desirable to be depoed
in favor of another batch of coolies.
Congressman Nolan of California denounced the scheme
and asked: "What you going to do if of these
bonded coolies leaves plantation before the fveyear
period has expredi"
To which Congressman Raker replied ARREST him and
Then answered Nolan: "You are proposing to chain
him to the jobl"
"Surely," replied Raker
We thought that the Thirteenth Amendment put end
slavery in American territory Is it possible that
have such little aptitude for liberty that after the
tremendous sacrifices of the Civil War have not been
able to make American territory instinct with liberty
to confer upon the slave by contact with
groundi simple decision of inferior court nisi
prus in Great Britain accomplished this for England
eral generations ago.
But there is another ground also which this scheme
should be rejected AS Congressman Nolan has well said:
"We do not want any scheme which would permit the tilt
ing of the lid excluding Asatic immigration whether it
deals with Chinese, Japanese, any other Asatic."
Indeed, we do not. We determined people not
to permit the slightest breach in the retaining wall which
holds out from territory the great food of humanity
surging against it and eager to overthrow Elysian
fields.
It is not that we hold these Asiacs in contempt It is
not that we dsparage their color their race their
or culture anything which is of them But bound
to recognize memorable economic facts with respect them
We bound recognize TACT Inat tnere
thing like thousand million of them that they gen
orally ierae and have low standard of living and have
wonderful and fearful fecundty; that their culture ira
dtions and all the essential characteristics of them and
their blood itself is unassimlable with And their
institutions not homogeneous.
To admit them freely would be deliberate act of suicide
on part.
The who would let in the flood from Asia would sign
the death knel of American civilization and
tguous territories.
Our American labor organizations profoundly right
their steady opposition to this foolish, hortsiged and
unpatriotc scheme.

Common Sense Test.

NENTIMENT for the sales tax,
n everybody admits, is growing.
~ Of course it is. Common sense
always wins.
1t isn't common sense to stifle
business by clumsy and excessive
taxation, nor is it common sense
to load on consumers needless
burdens.
That is what the present tax
scheme does-just that.
The notion that you folks would
prefer a stupid, pyramided, crush
ing tax system, which benefits no.
body and Injuries all, to a reason
able, fair tax system, which will in
jure nobody, but instead aid strick-
en- business to its feet, isn't very
creditable to the common sense of
those who hold it, is itf
They must think you haven't
sense enough to reason out on which
side your bread is buttered.
Let those men in the Congress
who are secretly for the sales tax,
but scared to say so in public, take
courage.

foreboding Of the outlook in
Europe, the outlook is not bright.
The truth is that sentimental
attitude toward France is too COM
mon among our people, and blinds
them to both the seriousness Of the
European situation and to the real
cause of the present dangers. 1t
would be much better for France
and for America if we dropped
sentimentality and looked at the
facts as they are, and regulated our
national policies in accordance with
those facts.
There are in France two parties
one advocating the moderate and
sensible policy of bringing about
better feeling between Germany and
France, and the other advocating
the policy of provoking another war
with the object of destroying Ger
many and obtaining for France the
military empire over Europe at
which Napoleon aimed.
The militaristic party controls a
majority of the French Assembly,
and, as the French republic is con-
stituted, that means that Premier
BRAND must yield his own better
judgment in many things in order
to avoid being deposed.
Thus French domestic political
intrigues and expedients demand
constant saber-rattling even by men
who, like BRAND, know the folly
and the danger of this swash- buck
ling.
A decided expression by the Gov
eminent and people of our country
to the effect that we do not look
with any more approval upon mill
tarism and imperialism in France
than in Germany, would greatly
strengthen the French Moderates
and equally weaken the French
Militarists.
In other words, it is a time when
plain speech in disapproval of
Frances disturbing attitude is not
only the friendliest service to
France, but is necessary to our own
welfare and the welfare of dis
tressed and apprehensive Europe.
The published statements of Sena-
tors Borah and Laid are gratifying
evidence that Senator Penrose's bill
to hand over the powers of Con-
gress to Secretary Mellon will have
rough Shedding when it starts to
drive through the Senate.
A more dangerous bill, more
outrageous bill was never read to
either House.
If the Congress really does resign
its power and shirk its obligation
to control and arrange the terms
upon which our foreign debtors shall
pay the ten billions they owe then
we need constitutional amendment
forbidding any such cowardly shirk-
ing Of the duties laid upon the Con-
gress by the Constitution. ~
If this sort of thing continues
our children will be governed by an
oligarchy, composed of the Presi-
dent and the Secretaries of Depart
ments, and Congress can play
marbles while it waits for orders.
We look with confidence to men
like Borah and Ladd to fight this
Penrose bill to a finish with every
weapon of parliamentary procedure
and opposition.
The nation will back them up.
They can be sure of that.

Dye Trust
At 1t Again
. HE Dye Trust is back on the

JOD. 1uTHeu uoWH w Vho
House, it is now lobbying for
a reversal of the Houses decision.
It is too bad that two Cabinet Of
ficers have asked the House to re-
consider its action. They cannot
have taken the time to investigate
the Chemical Foundation and the
Dye Trust springing from that cor
poration.
Representative Frear declared in
the Congress that the Government
should take civil and criminal ac-
tons against the Chemical Founda-
ton, instead of giving it monopoly
of the American dye trade. We are
quite sure, for our part, that the
corporation ought to be dissolved.
The plea which seems to have won
the support of Secretaries Weeks
and DENLY is that the Dye Trust
is necessary part of national mill
tary preparedness. This plea has
not leg of fact to stand on.
Neither directly nor indirectly did
the dye industry provide the Gov
eminent with explosives during the
war. Yet we had no difficulty in
getting explosives for ourselves and
the allies, both before and after our
entrance into the war.
The Dye Trust claims that there
would be no chemical researches by
which explosives are invented I'M
less it is granted a monopoly of
the business. That is nonsense.
Every explosive used in the war
was invented years before the war,
and not one Of them by dye manu-
facturer. The French inventor,
Turpin, obtained patents years be-
fore the war-in some instances as
many as thirty years before the war
upon every single explosive used
during the war. Even TINT was in
vented and patented by him before
the war.
The Chemical Foundation, which
is the mother of the Dye Trust, is
one of Mitchell Palmer's and Frank
Caravans schemes to make capital
for their friends and political as
sociates out of the opportunities of
the Alien Property Custodian
office.
1t was bad enough to begin with,
but when it has the impudence to
come to the Congress demanding an
absolute monopoly of the whole
American dye industry it ought to
be turned down hard.
The dye industry is not so large
in itself, but whoever controls that
industry has strangle-hold on de-
pendent industries, the annual pro-
duction' of which totals nearly three
thousand million dollars in value.
A fat stake the Chemical Founda-
ton is playing for, We'll tell the
world.
More power to Representative
Frear and the other honest Repub-
licans in the Congress who are fight
ing its audacious project.

Help Your Local Paper

Don't make fun of your local paper.
1t has possibilities of being as good as
any in the country and remember
that it reflects the community in which
it is published, and it is the one prod
uct that goes to far places bearing the
town trade mark. 1t deserves the best
you can give of active support and
sympathetic understanding.
Give the editor news. whether it
benefits you or not.
Don't ask him to print it on the front
page and just the exact way you hand
it in.
Don't worry lest the editor makes
too much money. If he is prosperous
he'll be foolish enough to give his com
munity better paper; that's an edi-
tors ambition-that's why he engages
in the publicity business.
Tell him when he has a good paper.
You are willing to congratulate your
preacher on good sermon, and your
merchant on an attractive window dis
play. The editor is no less grateful
for word of praise.
Make it a point to visit the print
shop and learn of its difficulties and
perplexities. At least that will give
you more charitable attitude. The
paper should not be the product of the
editor solely, but of all those who are
interested in it as friends, contributors,
