SINGS OUT OF TUNE

Secretary Hughes IS getting out Of tune in his
statement that the question of land arnaments is
not one that concerns America.
1t does concern America very much. although.
of course, this country now has no capacity for
further reductions Of its own. 1t concerns us in
two very important ways, which Mr. Hughes him
self certainly does not overlook, and which the
public will not lose sight Of
In the first place, there IS movement, or at
least sentiment, on the part Of France and Great
Britain to secure financial AID from the United
States. France needs the money. But if she per-
ssts in keeping a million men standing idly about
with guns in their hands, waiting for German
invasion or d military deluge from Russia, she
never can repay what she borrows. If this country
IS 10 loan money, which can come only by pro-
cess Of subtraction from domestic business i has
the creditors right 10 know what the debor is 60
ing to do with it, and what prospects there are of
getting it back In that sense, therefore, reduction
of land forces In Europe becomes a very lively
American problem.
But there is far more important reason why
America is concerned. If France keeps up her
present military policy, it is only question of
few short years when she will fight Germany No
body can foretel when The torch is applied how far
the blaze will extend, but we have every reason
to expect that it will reach this country, am! Amer
lean soldiers will have to make another trans
oceanic voyage to save civilization. Unless we are
prepared to make positive decision not to inter
fere in further European wars, cur interest in the
military policy Of The European nations is as vital
as that of France in the military policy of Ger
many.
The truth IS unless some agreement which will
actually lessen the chances of war can be made
and none can be made without the disarmament
of land forces--then the whole subject might as
well be dropped. This country would be fool
ish to scrap lis own navy while the countries with
which It is virtually allied are making active prep
araIions for war in which we shall certainly be
involved. And as we have before pointed out,
any disarmament which amounted merely 10 re-
duction Of the calbre Of the pistols used by the
gunner would be of little practical benefit. The
American public should keep the peace motive
steadily in view and refuse 10 'enlhuse" over any
other.

As Others See 1t
STANDING ON HOLY GROUND

(From Manufacturers Record, Baltimore, Md
When President Harding closed his speech at
the grave of the unknown soldier on Armistice
Day with the Lords Prayer, and the Disarma-
ment Conference was opened by prayer, this ma
ton gave to the world an expression of its re-
lance upon Almighty God in marked contrast
with the Versailles Peace Conference, where
there was recognition whatever of God An
air of profound religious sentiment brooded over
Washington during Armistce Day, which touched
every heart. Men seemed to realize that they
stood on holy ground. 1t seemed as though earth
was crammed with heaven and every bush was
aire with God, Mrs. Browning sang of old
The message that went forth to every corner of
the world, the message that read heard
by every intelligent man and woman to earth's
remotest bounds, was message that thrilled all
mankind with new and deeper realization of the
meaning of Christianity the only
through which there peace and right
eousness to sin and war-cursed world.
The greatest sermon preached since Cal
vary the most widely read message to mankind
to trust in God that ever touched so many
hearts since the morning stars sang together
was the spirit of Armistice Day and of the open
ing of the Conference.
Had President Harding done nothing else in all
his life than to close his address with the Lords
Prayer, and to have the Conference opened with
prayer, he would have rendered humanity serv-
ice of inestimabe value, and fastened the coming
of the day when the drum beat shall cease and
when shall be no more, through a world
wide acceptaton of Him whose miraculous birth
was heralded by the song Of the angelic chorus
to the enraptured shepherds on Judea's plain
GLORY to God in the highest
On earth peace to men of good will
If this spirit shall prevail throughout the Con-
ference, then, indeed, may the world see the full
fllment of the prophets vision when he said:
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet
of him that bringeth good tidings, that pubsheth
peace that brngeth good tidings of good that
publsheth salvation; that saith unto Zion thy
God reigneth!
THY watchmen shall lift up the voice. with
the voice together shall they sing: for they shall
see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again
Zion
Break forth into joy, sing together, We waste
places OF jerusalem for the Lord hath comforted
his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem
THE Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the
eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the
earth shall see the salvation of our God"

tenants in the majority in all the larger Giles, is
easy to imagine what might happen if they were
TO draw their organization lines tight enough and
take possession of the city governments. And there
is nothing on earth to prevent them from doing
so if they take a notion
Heretofore, the abundance of room. the ease
with which money for building could be OBJ
tanned, and the widely prevailing low rents have
prevented any serious friction. But with the long
suspension of building attending the war, an entire
ly different situation is presented. Rent paying is
now the heaviest burden which majority of the
people in the larger cities have to bear, and is
constantly growing heavier.
The first remedy that suggests itself to the ten
ants mind is compulsory rent reduction, and this
Will surely be enforced if the present state of af-
fairs continues; but there is an alternative remedy,
much better for society whole, and equally
advantageous to the tenant; and that is home own
ership.
Own your own home is therefore an injunc-
lien Of profound importance. The highest civic
stability can exist only in city wherein the largest
proportion of the population are home owners.
Encouragement of every kind should be offered
not merely in the form CT lectures and editorials,
but in the more substantial form of financial as
sistance 1t ought to be so arranged that any per-
owning a lot could borrow, at fair rate of
interest, enough money to build home. That
used 10 lie the case in most cities.
here is better investment in normal times
than real estate loans Building associations and
every other form of organizatin designed to en-
courage building by supplying the capital, should
be promoted. And if that should fail, the sub
ect is Of such importance that the government,
state or federal, should take it up
If the American people are to be happy, con-
tented patriotic and permanent in their abiding
place, they must be home owners

Daily Poem
OLD MAN

Old man, old man, sitting in the sun,
What was the struggle worth now the
race is run?
How does life look to you now it's
all behind?
Under your bald plate what fingers in
your mind?
wonder is you cherish still
The blue day of the windy hill
When first your eyes met hers and
things
Bright as pigeons Sheeny wings
FLASHED through you, and delight
Burned you with kisses white
l wonder do you dwell with pride
On those rough days on which you
Your strength against your fellow
men,
And won and lost and won again
Happy"to toll and strive
That you should be alive!
Is gladness hid in moonlit eyes
When love comes signing through the
leaves?
Or is it garish, stressful days
To which your hungry fancy strays-
Green seas, busy mart,
Which wrote upon your heart?
Have you regret for marriage ties?
Did children make you sad and wise?
What mattered much? What not at
all?
And, prithee, what would you recall
And leave undone, to reap
Sounder and sweater sleep?
Old man, old man, drawing near the
night,
Speak wisely through your beard, an
swer me Alright
That | may have good dreamings
when life is done,
Leaving me to bide as you, cold in
sun.

The Tampa Citizen saws.

The Tampa Citizen says. The average
wage Of the cigar workers in Tampa is placed at
from $l4 to $28 per week, and it is claimed that
The scale of wages would be cut to about $o to
$40 per week. with the latter figure as an extreme
that would seldom be reached and this for a
week of 90 hours" We do not know whether
this is true or not; but if it is true. it is hardly
worth while to lambast the walking delegate as
the fomenter Of the present strike. Men can not
support families on such wages in Tampa nor in
any other city.
