.rowded with party conferences and
discussions between the cabinet anu
the foreign relations committee over
the ultimatum of the allies on the -e-
parations terms.
The German peoples party and the
democrats alone of the present coali-

former Chancellor Hermann Mueller
of the majority socialists, who, with
Dr. Johannes Bell. former minister of
transport, signed the Versailles treaty,
was opposed TO yielding to the entente.
The deliberations today centered
wholly around financial indemnities
which were closely examined; the
ierms OF the ultimatum and the upper
Snesan situation.
Candidates for the posts of chancel-
! lpr and the various ministers were not
! proposed or discussed, President Ha-
yenstein OF the Reichbank and Under
secretary Hirsch, of the ministry OF

KUCHLER PROVING HIS WORTH

We do not know for certain just who first sug- gested Rudolph Kuchler for state land commits sioner, but understand that it was Ernest Hall, secretary of state, and one of the appointing body, who had the bright idea and insisted until Kuchler agreed to sacrifice himself on the job Kuchler did not lobby around to get his salary raised to $6,000 per year, but found too many things around the shop the people wanted done. When the people left him off the tax commission they were losers on that bet, but Halls bright idea saved them from their first mistake and in reality gave the state the benefit of their mis- take by putting him into position where he could save them much more in handling the state lands. The showing he has already made has convinced even skeptics that he has saved many times his salary and has not left any "im- promptu" leases laying around to be filed when the sucker came along to file lease on piece of land he thought he could get, but which was lay ing up in hook fully protected from him. While he may make mistakes, we are willing to venture that none of his mistakes are paid for

ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA

"lf the United States were signatory to the treaty of Versailles, Secretary Hughes admir- able note to the German government in respect to the payment of reparatiOn would be highly important definition of American policy. Inas- much as the United States is not party to the treaty, the Hughes note can be nothing more than the expression of pious hope that the Ger mans will be sensible and make some sort of set clement with the allies That is not Mr. Hughes fault. It is the fault of false situation created by his party in the senate. New York World.
 The above "hog-wash" is fine example of the AmericaniSm of some papers who were de- manding all hands to "back up the president" calling it patriotism when it was merely political propaganda because he happened to belong to their party. Now to claim that America has lost all her rights as one of the nations of the earth just because the United States senate refused to sell its birthright for mess of pottage because it refused to agree to be party to all the squab- bles that come up in Europe for the next cen tury; because it refused to sell America body, boots and brooches they have the temerity to say Eve have lost our rights" Lost them? We had mighty narrow escape, but the senate came to the rescue and, thank heaven, we maintain them and will continue to maintain our rights as nation. The truth of the matter is that what Secretary Hughes says now will have more weight, ten times over, than anything he might have said had he been tied up with the league of nations. In that event the allies would have gone on voting our rights away in spite of any voting we might have done, until we were compelled to back up our rights with guns. It is mighty silly argument to say that former President Will son was invested with power to turn our rights all over to Europe The senate fully proved that he had no such right and the other nations of the earth are well aware of the fact whether this anti-American sheet knows it CT not.

PRIZE ESSAY ON '.WHAT WOMEN LOVE"

A Miami theatre offered cash prize for the best essay on the subject, What Women Love, !" and here is the winner:
 What do women love? We'll, men! Men as advisers, companions, bones of contention. Then children her maternal instincts demand that she have something to protect and shelter. She loves work, and desires to excel in her chosen occupa- tion. Woman loves beauty of surroundings. Best of all, she loves to be loved"
 And it may be added that mere man, with all faults, loves to love woman who loves to be loved. The whole human race is just like that except in the "upper strata" where divorce courts have been instituted to protect the fot- sam and ietsam.

The copper properties over the state are be- ing closed down to await the revival of the price of copper. Probably the right thing in finan- cial way for the copper is in the ground and will not spoil no matter how long the time between the times when it is profitable to take it out The sheep and cattle men have much more com plicated problem to solve when feed and prices slump down below zero. A sheep will go on grow ing wool and demanding forage regardless of the prices; and the old COW will grow leather in spite of the inflated price of shoes and the difference between the price of beef on hoof and on the block. But when COW or sheepman concludes he is losing money and wants to shut off ex- penses, he finds his stock in trade are not going to agree with him on closing down they demand cud per cud or he can let the tail go with the hide. Probably that is why the big packers buy mining stock.

ABOUT THE NEWSPAPER GAME

Because newspaper that posed as a Chris tian daily failed is reflection on the church nor on Christian people. Instead it only serves to prove that the shoemaker should stick to his last and-the preacher stick to his ministerial duties and not try to tell editors what to put in their pa pers.
 The newspaper about which we are "eulogiz- ing" is the American Daily Standard of Chicago which started last Christmas. It has given up the editorial ghost
 For years and years ministers of the church, either sngy or in meeting assembled, have com plained that the newspapers devoted too much space and prominence to reports of crime and scandal and many of them thought that when the Christian" paper started that Christian peo- pie would drop the other "vile' daies and flock to the new Standard
 But they didn't.
 In his statement explaining the reason for the failure, Editor Monsma says, "the Christian lead CTS of Chicago have failed us utterly"
 The average daily newspaper of today is merely reflection of the desires of the people who subscribe for it. That is a lesson that every publisher has to lean.-Fourth Estate.
