WAR MADNESS

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: How
many campaign promises of congress-
men to the common people of this
great nation are being fulfilled? This
last war was "war to end wars for
ever" a war for "democracy"-
what is the result? Five hundred mil
lion dollars to our navy and about
that much more to our army. About
$40 to every man, woman and child in
this country, $500,0O0,O0O to the rail-
roads for this year and $6OO,OOO,OOO
more for 1922. Our secretary of the
navy says we want navy second to
none. That means we must run race
with Great Britain for armament with
Europe bankrupt, our people suffering
with the heaviest tax burden in Amer
lean history and 100000 of people
out of work and not single penny for
relief of the suffering masses. Such
is the program of our great legisla-
tors, the peoples servants.
Dear people, preparedness and ar
mament do not end war. That has
been demonstrated. If you want to
put an end to all wars you must do it
yourself. Don't look to our steel ar
NOR kings or power kings or packing
kings or railroad kings for relief, but
look into your own mirror for a friend
to save this world for democracy.

FROM WASHINGTON

Editor Nonpartisan Leader: Our
market is 5000 miles away, with
prohibitive freight rate between, sub
jecting us to local market, and every
body knows just what that means.
Thank the good Lord that we still
have the use of our ballot, and unless
the signs of the times change very
materially we will be heard from over
here. We should have elected our
ticket last year, but the laboring man
gambled and lost. The lesson he
learned last year may keep him in line
two years hence, and if it does there is
nothing to prevent a third party from
sweeping the state. The farmers of
this state, I think, will stick and here
is hoping that we win.

HAD HIM SPOTTED

AA11D 1AANA NJ " 142O
A college student, confusing Senator
Lodge with Sir Oliver Lodge, the emf
nent British spiritualist, said in an
examination paper that Senator Lodge
was "a believer in naturalization of
ghosts" But since the senator is
helping to revive the pre-Wilson pro-
tective tariff the description is not far
wrong at that.
'Patriotism," said the cynic, 'sis
an exaggerated idea of the i'm
portance of boundary lines.''
"Gentlemen of the jury, your verdict
should brand the man at the end of
this cane as rascal" said the lawyer
as he pointed said cane at the defend
ant.
(which end?" interrupted the de-
fendant.

MOVIE INSURANCE

Theater men who purchase films for
exhibition will hereafter be protected
by clause in the contract under
which they will be reimbursed if any
of the actors held booze parties or
commit other immoralities which
make it impossible to show the films.
If it also could be arranged so that
movie fans, when they buy tickets,
would be protected by a guarantee of
a return of their money when film
stars subsequently get into scandals,
many theater patrons would feel less
keenly the ridiculous position they are
in when an actor they have made a
hero proves moral pervert.

Straw Hats.

When note falls due on Sunday it
is payable the day after. When May
10 comes on Sunday Straw Hat Day
usually is observed the afternoon be-
fore, preceded by the ceremony of
purchase.
There were few straw hats on
downtown heads yesterday. The
wearers Of the few were those bold
fellows who keep the world on the
march. Their fathers doubtless were
the young men who bought the first
safety razors and the earliest motor
cars. Their grandfathers were those
adventurous devils who put their saw
ings into high wheel bicycles.
There is certain strain of blood
that seems to call for the first of
everything, be it continent or straw
hat. The men In whose veins it
courses see and get the new things.
CESAR, MARCO Polo and CoLUM-
BUS, were their spirits transferred to
modern young Americans, would have
been wearing straw hats yesterday.

and get home without reprimand. But
il / go to a baseball game I am inva-
riably late and the result Is riot. recrin-

Now. why should this be so? The
players are on the ground before $3.50.
The umpires are always there and %
per cent. OF the spectators are In their
seats at 3. Why is 1t. then, that games
are not called at p. NJ? All! The
Wall Street crowd, sometimes as many
as twenty or twenty-five men, can't
leave their offices before 8. and for these
twenty or twenty-five spectators thou
sands OF others are kept waiting.
BY the present plan thousands face
tho alternative Of staying away or eat
ing a cold dinner. am confident that
the attendance on week days would be
increased at least 10 per cent. were the
games started and finished thirty min
utes earlier. Why not give 1t trial for
