You read today that Charles.
once emperor, is told to 20 back to
his Swiss boarding house and stop
his foolishness.
Viviani, here from France, is
highly delighted with the news.
The news is that we think Ger
many should pay France. and that
the Allies are expected to pay us
what they owe. So far. they
haven't paid a cent and are be-
bind thousand millions in inter-
est.
Professor Einstein. who thinks
the law of gravitation is local. not
cosmically universal. has arrived
to preach Zionism. Also preaching
Zionism comes Professor Weiz-
mann, the chemist who invented
the terrific explosive called INT
for short.
Zionists are interesting. Here
is one whose brain blows Up the
Newtonian theory, and another
whose explosive blows up every
thing else.
A Catholic has been sent to rep
resent the British Empire in Ire
land as viceroy. 1t may be too
late, but it shows a turn toward
common sense. 1t isn't SO long
since neither Catholic nor a Jew
could hold office in England. Now
England picks q Catholic for the
most difficult work of the empire,
, close at home, Just as 1t picks a
Jew, Lord Reading, for the most ,
difficult work far away, as viceroy
Of India.
The days important news, which
will be intensely important hum
dred thousand years from now, Is
the announcement that scientists
at the Krupp Iron Works in Ger
many have perfected iron that will
not rust. 1t can be used in dental
work, where gold has been used
hitherto, and costs only sixty-five
cents pound. The scientific name
Is "Z2A."
Not long ago, while a glorious
French king was deep in his vic
tories and his pleasures, a think
ing man in his kingdom produced
the wheelbarrow, combination of
lever and wheel, enabling one man
to carry three times as much as
two had carried. Nobody, prob
ably, thought very much OF that,
but it was more important to the
world than all the French kings.
Yesterday. Mr.. Beckwith, profess
sor Of finance and Insurance at
Syracuse University. killed Mr.
Wharton, dean Of the College Of
Business Administration. than
killed himself.
This shows that you never can
tell what goes on in the human
mind. A bandit in the mountains.
with fancy rags wrapped around
his legs, may be thinking of moth
ing more deadly than his lunch
con. A quiet, solemn professor Of
finance and insurance, all in black,
is planning a murder.
Russia's Bolsheviks may point
to that killing as proof that capi-
talism is now on it's last legs since
its professors are numbering each
other.
Capitalism here in the United
States, as expounded in the New
York Times, is much excited on
the front page because the Bolshe-
wiki admit having executed 4,300
during the past year and jailed
$4,000.
That sounds, and is horrible,
but it doesn't mean much.
While the English, led by Burke,
were agonizing over the killings in
the French Revolution, it was
pointed out to them that for every
French nobleman beheaded be-
cause he had oppressed miserable
peasants England was hanging
some poor creature for stealing
trifles worth few shillings.
The French Revolution and its
killings made governments think
so hard that they stopped hanging
men for petty crimes forced on
them by poverty. Consequently,
the victims of the French Revolu-
ton died in a good cause.
Boston workmen in the building
trades have ended their strike
temporarily, pending arbitration,
and accept" one dollar an hour.
About one hundred years ago in
this country you could count on
your fingers all the workmen able
to earn one dollar in a day OF
twelve hours.
Improvement there, NOT for
workmen, but for capitalists. All
that the capitalists have or can get
