HU M A NISMS
William AthertOn Du Puy =

1t was about twenty years ago and Ernest
Lewis. who is now member OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission, was a newspaper man
travelling around over the face of the earth to
find interesting things to write about.
He in Melbourne, Australia, In a hotel
lobby, and had been talking for hours with two
individuals who had been spinning fantastic II
unreliable yarns that might might not find
q place in a series of The Romances of Mining"
Near by there sat a quiet young man, who. of
necessity, heard fragments of the conversation.
When the others had gone the quiet youngster
came over, introduced himself fellow Amer
lean, and gave Lewis much actual and no less
interesting information the wealth that was
being extracted from Australians forbiddng
wastes.
This young mans name was Herbert Hoover
He then in Australia a mining engineer

II one, after spending much Of his life in the
open in the company of mules, for instance,
should learn some OF the secrets that move these
creatures to more efficient motion, and II, just
at that time, a new method of transportation
should come along and displace them would one
not have right to sigh at the futility of orig
inal research?
There is Arthur p. Davis, for instance, the
director of the reclamation service. He had
been travelling all day over the desert trying
to reach the town OF Phoenix, out in Arizona,
where he had important engagement.
But the mules were tired and were sdama mt,
and all that sort OF thing and refused to respond
to the urging of the driver
So Davis gave it up and relaxed into resigna-
ton. Having a philosophical nature and a
voice for song he struck up campmeeting
melody, such sung in the vicinity Of
Decatur, ILL.,, when he was boy.
Much to his surprise, the exhausted mules
came suddenly to life. sprang into the collars,
whisked the blackboard through the shimmerins
greasewood and landed him at his destination
in time for his meeting.
And the next time he went West the auto
mobile had taken the place of the mule and his
discovery was useless.

Interior, used to be Democrat and held ar

Observation-Disclosures

q ENATOR BORAH OBJECTS to the proposed funding
~ the debt owed by Great Britain and France, up
the ground:
First that it would not help us to establish evidence
the debt, and
Second that it would prevent from using the debt
compel Great Britain and France to abandon their
perastc ntrgues and expressions throughout the
in which they able to indulge by maintaining cosf
armament but which they could not maintain if they
obliged pay their Indebtedness to We entirely agrp
with Senator Borah. But there other quite
strong against the proposed funding of the debt.
To fund the debt is to deprive of being able to
upon France and England to pay the debt whenever We
think they ought to pay To fund this debt would be h
make England and France longtime debtor and woul
reverse relative positions.
The debt, when funded, instead of giving influence
debtors would be very likely to give them grea
deal of influence because would be in consta
danger OF their repudiatng or becoming unable to pa
their debt
We now hold notes' of the foreign Governments pay
able demand If this debt funded it would tie us
indefinitely to the chariot wheels of Great Britain
France with all their wretched scyhes for the emascula
ton of helpless peoples.
What want to do to get rid of this debt quick
as we can. We cannot expect France and Great Brta
to pay the whole of it at without absolutely crppn
both nations, which would not want to do to an
friendly nation. But make estimate of what "a
costing these two nations to carry their illicit military
and naval enterprises in other WORDS what it costing
them for their wicked imperialism, and induce then
discharge of the debt.
Dr. Addison, who has just resigned from the British
Cabinet told the House of Commons the other day that
Great Britain spending hundred million dol
lars year in Mesopotamia alone Mesopotamia is only
of the parts of the world where Great Britain forcing
her imperialism.
The abandonment of these enterprises taken together
with her retrenchment of her naval expenditures would
enable her in very few years to pay her debts
What she could not pay by reasonable retrenchment
the costs of her mperastic schemes she could pay b.
selling TO the West Indies Islands, which the OUT
posts of Panama Canal, and of danger to
in of future trouble. They not of any value t.
Great Britain except against They part of the
American continent and ought to belong to I
Let u.s. therefore, abandon the idea of funding the deb
and negotiate with Great Britain and France for settle
ment of their obligations.
We could give France time than could give
Great Britain because she needs more and her mperalstc
schemes expensive for her that she will be
obliged to abandon them if foolish enough
to continue to finance them by relieving her of her obga
tons TO pay what she
