Mr.. Harding refused to take
place on the delegation to this con-
ference; he appointed three leading
Republicans and one big Democrat,
Oscar Underwood, and left 1t to them.

0ET YOIJR OWN REWARD

II may be true, as Is often said,
that this Is the young mans world !;
but do you realize that the old men
made It?
Father and grandfather, and Of
course, mother and grandmother 1--WE
use one gender for the sake Of sim
plicity), with their labors added to
that Of past generations, toiled and
sweat and worried and left us the
world as we have It,
You old fellows deserve recognition
and reward.
You may get the recognition with
out difficulty, but as regards the ma
terial reward, you'll have to hustle
and look out for yourselves as you
did fifty years ago.
When the working tools Of life
shall have dropped from your nerve
less hands, son and daughter will buy
nice stone to mark your resting
place and tell what fine fellow you
were, and how you diligently worked
and made good despite great Difficult
ties; but you will be gone.
/ The Creator gave you a pair OF
legs and He did not intend you to sit
and gaze out of the same window I'M
til the last day. If you have been
thrifty and fortunate, there are rail
roads for you to ride upon and autos
to drive, SO get out while you're able,
and utilize them.
Why should you. worry for fear
your children will not have large
estate to quarrel over They are just
as able to get out and dig for 1t and
get it by honest perspiration as you
were.
1t is no fun to sit around day after
day waiting for the last one; so roll
out while the rolling is good and for
get the gloomy aspects Of your short
sojourn, by enjoying all there is to en-
JOY while you are above ground.
It's a young mans world, but you
still have q little block Of stock In 1t
and you vote counts.
You did the best you could for the
young ones in order that they might
have 1t easier than you, and they will
have 1t easier. And when you have
gone on, they will be happier in the
reflection that your last years were
well spent and happy ones.
We do not know just what 1t is
awaiting us on the other side, So
to paraphrase popular saying, "See
this planet first"

NOVEMBER IT, 1872
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER

Home at last from france, an un'
known American soldier has been
laid to rest with all the homage u
grateful people could pay.
For him q people stood at pause q
little ,apace, the rush and tumult OF a
nations hurrying life stilled In rever'
.ence.
For him a President gladly trudged
afoot through the streets, chiei
mourner to tell a peoples proud sor-
row for the dead.
For him admirals and generals ana
Judges anil statesmen flung on the
weight Of dignities and years to Walk
humbly with lesser folk and 90 MIN
honor.
For him the worlds most precious
tokens for the valiant were laid upon
his bier: crosses and medals and RID
bons asd the tears Of mourning moth
ers; comrades standing apart among
men for their high hearted deeds OF
courage alone might touch his casket ;
cannon roared him last glorious sa-
lutte.
Il. And for him, a shattered. nameless
body from some battle field In France
where his great sacrifice was made,
was provided place for his long
sleep that kings for such q tomb
could wish to die" Yet in 1t all,
after all, there was little Of sorrow.
There was pride and circumstance and
the ordered movement Of martial
pageant; but over and under 1t all
there was everywhere a note that
spoke of the swelling spirit Of broth
erhood of the nation, the democracy
that brought the highest and lowest
shoulder to shoulder about the tomb
of the unknown soldier who gave his
all for the flag.
There was nothing lacking In the
spectacle. From the moment when
November dawn peered in through the
high windows Of the Capitol rotunda
where the dead soldier lay in state,
until the shock Of battery salute
rocked the hills over the river to pro-
claim that the dead had come at last
to his final rest, nothing that human
mind could devise or human hands
contrive to do this soldier honor, had
been left undone.

NORTH DAKOTA AWAKES

Sober sense has returned to the peO-
pie of North Dakota, where the Nom
Partisan League, with all of Its politi-
cal fallacies, has met with serious de-
feat. While not an enthusiastic ad-
vocate Of the referendum and recall,
The Financial World, in this case,
realizes it has had an advantage, for
1t gave the voters an opportunity to
call special election before a regular
one was In order and GUST from office
an insane political power that brought
so much trouble upon the state.
The new regime which displaces
Governor Frazier and his political
dreamers will now be able to take
North Dakota out Of the dilemma into
which they threw her. They can re-
store the credit of the state by aban-
doning all pretense to that accentuat-
ed form Of paternalism which is not
or never has been the function Of gov
eminent
So far as the state is concerned
1t should get out Of the banking bus
mess and should leave to private en-.
terprise the operation OF private bus
mess for which laws can be devised
for its proper regulation. When poll.
ticians attempt to invade the domain
Of business they usually are grea,
failures. II the damage for such
blunders could be confined to them
the evil effects Of their mistakes
could be minimized. But 1t is the
taxpayers who must pay the bills in
the end.
All this the good people Of North
Dakota discovered, and the bill Of
damages ran up so fast they FASTENED
to remedy their error, 1t Is fortunate
that the American people have al
ways q sober judgment in reserve that
comes to her rescue when It daWhi
upon them that they are following
false political isms.

MUST EXPEDITE MAIL SERVICE

Manila. P. l., Nov. 16.-Because Of
the delay in receipt Of mail from
Spain, the Philippine Chamber Of
Commerce has asked the postal auth
critics Of the Philippines and Of Spain
to take steps to improve the service
between the two countries. Accord
ing to the secretary Of the Chamber
Of Commerce, it requires sixty days
to transport mail from Spain to the
Philippines. The long delay is due,
the secretary says, to the fact that the
Spanish government has not changed
since the war, its procedure Of send
ing the mail for the Philippines by
way Of the United States as a result
Of the temporary closing Of the Suez
canal.
The secretary in his letters to the
postal authorities Of the two coun-
tries says the long time required In
transporting mail is working great in
convenience and actual loss to bust
ness houses, in many cases.
