The Road In Riches.

The Road to Riches.
The farmer. whom the world salutes
With deferential care.
Once wore his trousers in his hoets
And hayseed In his hair,
While those with patent leather shoes
And neckties all Intense
In idle moments would amuse
Themselves at his expense.
Now when I see the farmer man
In upulence draw near
My costume with regret I scan
And think it cost me dear:
Would l had delved among the roots
Out in the open air
And worn my trousers in my boots
And hayseed In my hair.

Nation Would Like Harding
 to Stay Where He. Is

E7NHE news from Washington to
 U the effect that w. P. G. Harding is to remain governor of the federal reserve, board at least until his term expires in August. 1922, gives uni- versal satisfaction. Without regard to party or sectional feeling and in- tcrests, MT. Harding has earned the respect and high regard of the peo- pie of the United States as chief custodian of their banking interests.
 Mr. Harding possesses the singu- jar ability of being able to think clearly no matter what the circum- stances, the motives or the feelings involved. He is not swayed from seeing things as they are because some one criticizes ani another praises.
 Mir. Harding also possesses the quality of candor. When he thought the country needed deflation he said %. When the south clamored for governmental aid for solution of the cotton problem he did not mince words in telling the people of the sousb-his own people that they must also help tbem5elves.
 More than a year ago when on a visit to Birmingham, he advocated just what we are doing now in ar effort to export cotton. Be did not throw out any hope of governmental largess and he did not advocate that the government do for cotton what it would not do for wheat or other az ricultural products.

THE NEW GREEK STRUGGLE

IAfs fact permitted Greece to send an army to smyrna and occupy the west ern portion of Asia Minor, bending the final solution of the eastern question by the allies
 It was during this 0reet ecc,rr. t,o,, or Smyrna that the allies changed their minds about Turkey, and warned venizelos. the Greek dictator. not to ratify the Turkish treaty last septem- ber And the continuation of the same policy made the allies .eopen lths Turkish question five weeks ago in London with the object of practi- cally scrapping treaty which, al though they have signed. they never ratified.
 French policy. objecting to British preponderance in the near east and l-considering Greece a satellite Of Great Britian, took the initiative of safe- guarding the Turkish empire from the consequences of the Sevres treaty. And Italian policy. always jealous of a Hellenic state in the eastern Mediter- rsnean, quickly forgot the anti-French explosions of Plume to side with Paris in the Turkish business With the two allies openly declaring their friend- ship for the Turk. Great Britain re- called her 30o,ooo dead of Gallipoli ani became neutral in the controversy. There is, however. a nation which, no matter how things may turn, can not remain neutral in the eastern Iquestion under it's present aspect; and that nation is <. Greece. which has staked her all in her effort to lib- crate all the Creeks and unite them under the same blue and white ban ner. And thus abandoned and be- trayed by her so-called "protectors.~ she took up the fight against the Turk single handed.

 k This innocent weakness of mine has led me into many happy occasions, and been the means of both giving me a chance to eat as well as to talk, and everyone knows that I am fond of doing both and never turn down a din- ner invitation any more than an op- portunity to orate.

 In order to accomplish this, rur-

 1 For nearly two whole years, the vic torious allies kept the Turkish prob

 jealousies that had so much to do
 with the human catastrophe of the
 last five years. the same intrigues and
 mutual distrusts appeared in the coun-
 cils of the allies when the Turkish
 problem came before them for set&Se-
 ment
 The result is that not single one of
 the nations freed from the Turkish
 yoke Is today satisfied With the ar-
 rangement. with the possible excep-
 tion of Arabia, and perhaps Palestine. Armenia is the greatest victim of
 these interallied jealousies; Syria is seething under the French Mesopo- tamia is in state of continuous re- volt The allied diplomats, entirely oblivfous of the sacrifices made by millions of sthe soldiers of Europe and America, not only have turned their backs to the nations of the near east but they even went to the extent of again befriending the, Turk in an eff | fort to bring matters back where they were before the war and their victory. The treaty of Sevres wasa the out come of this tendency on behalf of the allies. toward Turkey. And the fact this treaty was not ratified by the allies. and was even on the point of
 being radically .modified~ in favor of the Turk in the recent London cona ference, is the best proof of tho de- sire of the allies to undo the greatest Accomplishment of their victory, which was to do away with Turkish dom ination in Europe.

 in the promises of the allied diplomats
 in the early days of the war. she
 avoided to enter the war prematurely
 and destroy her forces which would
 be of vital importance in the final setsI clement of the Turkish problem, The Greek people for almost four: years paid the penalty for disobeyinE

 her forces almost intact. and ready to be used for her own interests alone.

Sound Suggestion Comes
 From Director Meyer

~ COMMENTING on the loan of Ne $2,0O0,000 to southern export finance corporation for shipping cot ton to England, France and other countries that has been approved by the war finance corporation, Director Meyer made this observation:
 It would appear that confidence
 was great at the high price levels
 year ago when the business risks
 were certainly greater than they
 are now. It may be we'll for busi-
 ness men to ask themselves
 whether or not the present lower
 price levels do not warrant some
 what greater confidence than ex-
 fists at the present time
 That is a sound suggestion. Men took enormous risks on rising mar ket. This was true not only in the manufacturing field, but in agricul- ture. There are men in Mississippi and ether cotton states who were mill lionaires in 1919 and are paupers to- day, because they pyramided on the fortunes they had already made out of high-priced cotton and were caught in the slump. Men who really wish to go ahead might well assume the smaller risk of making the effort at present price levels.
 But that is not humanity's way. Manufacturers cannot sell pig iron on a low market. Not until the low point has been passed and prices begin to rise does the pig iron consumer ap- pear to, want any iron. The more rapidly iron advances the more anx- ious he is to forestall the next ad- vance. Let the market drop point and he has lost interest.
 It is tribute to mankind's natural optimism, but not to his good judg- ment. A lot of buying ought to be going on now that is not being done. The risk in low market is not as great as that in a runaway market. Some of the wise are anticipating the next rise.

From Atlantis. 6N HE Greeks are fighting in Asia
 Minor. After 30 months of a
 = futile and useless armistice, Turkey, which laid down her arms in utter> defeat on the fateful day of oc- toher 30, 1918, is today battling against Greece with arms and ammunition and money and no doubt with the mili- tary advice of the sselfsame powers that defeated her more than two years ago, and with the help of the most disgusting and most undignified prop aganda, that~ever was carried in favor of the unspeakable Turk.
 It Is enc of those tragedies of Flu ropean politics, which to the average American are something of mystery; to such all extent is the rascality of European diplomacy unfathomabie. And yet what happens today in Asia Mirror is the natural sequel of a policy common to most of the powers of Eu- rope when dealing with the Turk. Not all the butcheries of hundreds of thousands of innocent Christians, nor all the bloody record of Turkish his- tory in Europe has succeeded in the least in changing the attitude of the western powers towards these intrud- CTS who invaded the most beautiful lands of the near east 500 years ago. bringing tears and misery and servi- tude and death in their wake.
 The trouble with the Turk is that he occupied what the strategists love to call a key position in Europe. Established in Constantinople and just to the south of the erstwhile Russian empire. he not only was allowed to possess the. seat of the ancient Byzantium but he was strengthened there and fortified by the powers which dreaded him less than Russia.
 The Turkish problem was created because too many powers wanted to divide the Ottoman empire. but always quarreled among themselves, so that it was found to be the interest of all to maintain the status quo, or to let things stay as they were.
 With the fall of Russia and the subsequent fall of Turkey. it was thought that the eastern problem would be settled in way to satisfy tho rightful aspirations of all those which the Turks had op- pressed for period of five long csn- turies. A new Armenia and new Syria and new Arabia and new Mesopotamia and new Palestine would be the outcome of the partition of the Ottoman empire while the Greek nation would reassert it's claim on those lands that have; been Greek from the dawn of history, and have their traditional character and their undying allegiance to their smotherland from the time of
