Loans to Foreign Governments

The resolution of Senator Walsh to prohibit
| further loans to foreign governments, as well as
his resolution asking the treasury department to
transmit to the senate all information and CORE
spondence relating to interest payments on war
refunding foreign loans, probably will result in
definite outline of the policy which the govern
ment will take toward the payment of the money
which foreign governments
Repeated efforts have been made to create
public sentiment favoring the cancellation of the
loans on the theory that the allied governments
bore the full brunt of the war while we came in
only for small share, but evey time this sub
ject has been preached the common sense of the
American people has voiced distinct opposition
to the proposal.
The allies would have lost the war if the
United States had not advanced them money to
finance their purchases of munitions and to pay
their soldiers The money extended in good
faith, with the distinct understanding that it
a loan and not gift. Any overture of the allied
governments seeking the cancellation of the debt
should be repealed instantly.
Europe must get out of the habit of looking
upon America as benevolent uncle who stands
ready toladvance money whenever they call. And
the people of the United States ought not to be
swayed by sentimental reasons when they hear
the appeal of the foreign governments, for none
of them is noted for its benevolences.
Take England for instance. John Bull, by
crafty and canny diplomacy, obtained important
concessions in the Versailles treaty. France and
Italy protected their own interests. England
would welcome the cancellation of her loans here,
for it would give her an equivalent amount of
money to develop the concessions which she
gained by the treaty. John Bull is essentially a
trader. He knows all the ms and outs of COM
merce, and already has begun the development
,oho S0ff lie
debt to us, and you are enabling him to the
money for trade extensions.
At present every industrial country in the
world needs trade outlets for the disposal of it's
manufactured products. The United States is no
exception. Why should foolishly permit Eng
land to capture the markets of the world with our
money? If we can spare the money which the
allies owe us, let's use it for the development
of our own foreign trade

Says His Prescription
Has Powerful Influence
Over Rheumatism

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for
years with rheumatism. Many times
this terrible disease left him helpless
and unable to work
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be
free from rheumatism until the &C.
cumulated impurities, commonly called
uric acid deposits, were dissolved in
the joints and muscles and expelled
from the body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and
finally compounded a prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom of rheumatism from
his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. A. G.
Luken & Co, Quigley's Drug Stores,
and Yes and Now Drug Co.. has been
appointed agent for Allenrhu in this
vicinity with the understanding that
he will freely return the purchase
money on the first two bottles to all
who state they received no benefit.

Rippling RHYMES
CIR EDI1,
BY WALT MASON


This year will bring unsettled times,
because of readjusting; the merchant
princes need their dimes, and they'll
be slow at trusting. They'll not give
credit left and right as lately they've
been doing. and frowns will greet the
slow-pay wight who'd buy plug of
chewing. And many men this year,
I guess, will need a slice of credit, for
reimbursement brings distress - the
banking sharps have said it Now he
who's kept his stand-off bright will
know the easy shedding, and merchant
princes will delight to sell him books
or bedding. However stringent money
is. the lamps for him are burning; to
see his good old honest phiz, the mer'
chants all are yearning. And if he
asks to buy on time a grindstone or
a hammer, the dealers on his person
climb, with glad, exultant clamor,
Therell never be a time so tight that
men of reputation for having always
acted right, can't get accommodation.
A reputation as good pay is better far
than rubies, and men who do not think
that way must travel with the boobies,
The melancholy days are here. sus-

FAMINE SUFFERERS

TOPEKA, Feb. 3.-The story told in
brief cablegram received here by DR.
Charles NJ. Sheldon. editor of the
Christian Herald, from Charles r.
Crane, American ambassador in PEEK
ing. stating 10000 people in Northern
China are dying daily from famine,

loads of corn from Kansas. 1t will be

by grain men that thoroughly dried
corn can be shipped with danger of
deterioration. We find that the APP
peal for corn meets with approval
among farmers who are long on corn
and possibly short on ready money
just at this time"
The appeal for corn was sent out in
cooperation with J. G. Mohler. secre-
tary of the state board of agriculture.
DR.. Sheldon is one of the American
committee of 100 which has under
taken to raise $S,000,000 for Chinese
relief.

The Railroad Crisis

The appeal of the railroad managers for the
immediate repeal of wage agreements, because
they are productive of waste and inefficency,'
to save the roads from bankruptcy is serious
matter They assert that the roads are paying
for work which is not performed, and that this
burden is forcing them into ruin.
The brotherhoods deny these accusations, as
serting that the executives are incapable of
managing the roads efficiently and are deliber-
ately trying to bring about crisis.
The charges and counter-charges must be ex-
anlined exhaustively before the public passes
judgment either the executives or the work
ers. If the executives are incompetent and I'M
able to handle the transportation system of the
country the worker is right in refusing to accept
cut in wages And on the other hand if the
workers not producing full days work for
the pay, the executives cannot be censured for
asserting that the high labor costs, without ade-
quate returns, have brought the roads to the
brink of ruin
In the meantime both parties to the contro-
versy should remember that the public also has a
vital interest in the settlement of the problem.
The public believes that the worker is entitled to
a just and fair wage, and that the roads must
earn a fair return on their investment
If the crisis should develop to the point OF an
open break, involving the cessation of operations
the railroad systems, the roads, the workers
and the public will suffer as never before. The
national interest is greater than that of either
party to the controversy. prompt hearing of
the charges preferred by the executives and the
workers will quickly bring to light the truth and
result in the correction Of evils. The public wants
both the earnings of the roads and the wages of
the men protected.

breaking up gangs that are threatening the Sc
curity of district or locality.
The present sheriff and deputy sheriff sys-
tenn is not suited for this kind of work. They
lack the organization and training which a body
of men drilled for an emergency possesses, and
usually are unable to cope with situation that
demands executive ability for its solution. A
body of state constabulary quickly could be
thrown into a locality demanding the presence of
police protection, and by it's special training
would restore order before body of deputy sher-
ifs could be sworn in. The best method Of
breaking up incipient disorders is by preventing
their growth into mob violence. A state con-
stabulary is the ideal police method to accom-
plish this end.

Jersey City and began at once to earn
great deal more than he was paid for
doing. This attracted the attention
of his superiors, and they were still
come struck by the new ways he sug-
gested of doing old things, for there
may be modern methods even of re-
pairing Erie locomotives as many of
them still survive.
The inventive mind of Frank He'd
ley carried him further when he went
with the Manhattan elevated railroad
as foreman and later became master
mechanic with the Kings County Elev-
ated in Brooklyn. His abilities caught

where he was at first superintendent
of motive power for the Lake Street
Elevated and then consulting engineer
of the North Western Elevated in the
Windy City.
When the subway was being put in
to commission in this city the officials
of the older systems remembered that
bright young man named Hedley and
induced him to return and apply his
trains of thought without brakes to
the management of the traffic through
the big tunnel. Hedley has been on
the upgrade ever since. He is now
one of the businest men in New York
in his efforts to keep the Interborough

The State Constabulary

Reports from many parts of Indiana show
that favorable public opinion is crystallizing
about the proposal to establish state con-
stabulary for the protection of rural districts.
The need of state police force, drilled for emer-
gency purposes and instantly prepared to be
moved into a threatening zone, is being realized
by thousands who formerly gave little attention
to the project.
1t would be comparatively easy task to re-
cruit state police force now, when thousands of
young, active men who service in the World
war possess the requisite military training to be
eligible for membership. Only q short time would
be required to drill them in the best methods of

Answers to Questions

Mrs. R r. T.-Can you tell me who
wrote the Arabian Nights Entertain
ments"?+
The origin OF the Arabian Nights
Is shrouded in obscurity. It Is a COM
pos1te production containing tales
gathered from all parts OF the Eastern
world. Doubtless many Of them cir.
culated for long time orally before
they were committed to paper A few
or them appear to have been put into
manuscript from as early as the Tenth
Century, while some may be as late as
the Sixteenth Century. The collection
assumed a definite shape as early as
The Thirteenth Century. The Arabic
manuscripts vary considerably, no two
agreeing either as to the number of
separate tales or as to their order. The
nrst man to translate "The Arabian
Nights" into any European tongue was
Antoine Galland (1646-1715), a famous
French Orientalist, whose version ap.
peared in 1904.
