No lesser authority than Albert Bige-

comes forward with the advice that
there were two Mark Twains'; that
Capt. Isaiah Sellers, a river steam
boat captain, contributing paragraphs
to the New Orleans newspapers, us
ually signed himself "Mark-Twain."
According to Mr.. Paine, the arti-
cles of Capt. Sellers often began: my

conditions and recite incidents and
comparisons dating as far back as
1911. To the younger pilots on the
Mississippi, among them Samuel Gle
mems, then % years old, the articles
Of Capt. Sellers afforded much amuse-
ment. In an attempt to further this
amusement, Samuel Clemens wrote a
p~reposterOus story of a cruise he was
supposed to have made In the year
1853, the ships crew being Choctaws
and the captain a Chinaman. The
story was satirical Of the writing Of
Capt. Sellers, and was thought to have

CREATING A SUPER RACE

Brig.-Gen. Charles e. Sawyer, per-
sonal physician to President Harding,
is working on a plan for the develop
ment of a super rae of people in the
United States.
1t is intimated that the Washing
ton administration is interested in
the plan.
During the examination for the
draft it was found that one-third of
the young men of military age were
defective physically. Reputable phys
icians estimate that an equal number
of women are defective.
1t is the plan of General Sawyer to
begin with the babies and afford them
scientific care and training until they
reach the age Of maturity.
If parents generally can be induced
to adhere to the rules laid down 1t is
estimated that an improvement OF q
per cent will be noted In the first
generation.

LAY OFF, Mr.. PRESIDENT

A story comes out of Washington to
the effect that the administration will
attempt to induce the public to re-
lieve the government of the ten bill
lions of Indebtedness now due 1T by
the allied countries of Europe.
According to report, the plan as
tentatively outlined calls for the con-
vecting of this indebtedness into long
time bonds of the European govern
ments, these bonds to be sold by our
government to the American people
at large and the proceeds to be turned
into the federal treasury, with a pos
sibility that they may be used in the
retiring of liberty bonds.
That would be fine for the federal
treasury, but how about the people
who buy these bonds?
If this huge indebtedness passes
into the hands Of private individuals,
who IS going to guarantee that the
foreign governments will pay the In
terest and principal when duef
The only guarantee that would be
of any value would be that of the
American government. and the gov
eminent has neither the army or the
navy with which to enforce its de-
mands.
Consider our own liberty bonds,
which the people were told would
soon be at a premium.
Are they at a premium now, two
years after the WARP
They are not.
Are they eve at parP
They are not.
We were urged to buy liberty bonds
until it hurt" We bought until
it hurt, and after two years OF peace
1t is still hurting-hurting worse than
ever because we can not get as much
as we paid for them.
If our own government, the strong
est on earth and with its vast and In
exhaustible resources, Is unable to
keep the market value Of It's W
bonds at par, why should the people
be asked to believe that the bonds OF
debt ridden foreign governments will
not shrink to even lower levels OF
value?
According to newspaper reports
Europe has for two years defaulted
on the payment Of even the interest
ON the ten billions they W us.
If they can not OF will not pay even
the interest to the government OF the
United States, which has the power
to apply a certain degree OF pressure
II it so desires. have we any reason to
expect that they would be any more
prompt or solicitous in meeting their
obligations to private individuals who
are without means OF applying coer-
Give measures in the collection OF the
interest and principal due them9

belonging to the people OF the United
States-were loaned to the European
allies by the American government,
