REVIEW OF SECRETARY LAM
SINGS BOOK

Former Secretary of State Lansing
has written a book on the Peace
Treaty, in which he criticises the
work of some Of the men who took
a prominent part in the negotiation
of that greatest of all agreements.
Former President Wilson and Lloyd
George share about equally in Mr..
Lansing's displeasure.
Mr.. P. w. Wilson, a renowned news
paper correspondent, has reviewed Mr..
Lansing's book in a manner not al
together creditable to our former Sec
retary of State. Here is an extract
from his review which is grandly
true:

LANSING'S BOOK
(Register and LEADER

Publication in book form of what
former Secretary Lansing has been
giving piecemeal to the Saturday
Evening Post only goes to confirm
the impression already created that
Lansing measuring Wilson is an
other instance of a second rate man
putting his measuring rod on a
man of the first rate.
Lansing's complaint throughout
is that Wilson did not consult with
him, when the purpose of his book
is to prove that he did not agree
with the president at any point, and
took advantage of every opportu-
nifty to tell him So Just why the
president should have been asked
to spend his time debating with his
own secretary of state when he had
so many other men to convert to his
point of view it will be hard, we
may assume, to make plain. What
Mr.. Lansing seems to overlook en-
tirely is that it was Wilson who
had been elected president and not
Lansing, and that having deter
mined upon his course of action the
president was entitled to the sup
port of his official family. Mr..
Lansing could resign, but he could
not with credit to himself continue
as secretary while opposed to
everything that was being done.
Mr.. Bryan meeting precisely the
same situation promptly rendered
his resignation; Mr.. Lansing stayed
until the president invited him to
go. Mr.. Bryan has published no
story of his troubles. Mr. Lansing
makes voluminous record to prove
to any impartial mind that Wilson
was right in letting him go.

POLITICAL FAKING

(From the New York World)
The special session of Congress
which President Harding has called
for April II is to begin in fraud and
false prctenses with the re-enactment
of the Fordney Emergency Tariff Bill
which President Wilson vetoed.
This bill is a downright fake, con-
ceived in political cynicism and econ
omic. iniquity. It may be highly bene-
ficial to food-speculators and profi-
teers, and will furnish an excuse for
an increase in the cost Of living, but
it is of no value whatever to the
American farmer, whose troubles are
not due to low tariffs but to the
collapse of his foreign markets. The
| bill carries on it's face all the evi-
dences of the policy Of bargain and
barter which has become character
istic of high-tariff programmes.
After the agrarian members of Con-
gress have voted for this ridiculous
measure they will have valid ex-
cuse for supporting the tariff sched-
ules which the great protected in
terests are demanding and to which
the Republican leaders are pledged
If the agricultural elements attempt
to protest, Congress need only refer
them to the duties that have been
enacted to prevent the importation OF
foreign foodstuffs. That is why the
Fordney bill is to receive first con-
sideration at the hands Of the new
Congress. 1t is the Old Guards way of
committing the farmers to the sub
sequent tariff programme in which the
farmers will be taxed along with
everybody else for the profit of favor
ed industries.
The arrangements for the re-enact-
ment Of the Fordney Emergency Tariff
Bill were made by Mr.. Harding with
the Republican members of the Ways
and Means Committee and the Senate
Finance Committee. 1t is inconceivable
that the Cabinet was consulted, OF
if it was, that men like Mr.. Hughes
Mr.. Mellon and Mr.. Hoover should
have given their consent to legisla-
emily dishonest at a time when the
country is facing some of the most
serious economic problems in it's his
tory.
Plainly enough the Administration
has no fiscal policy, and it remains
to be seen whether Congress will
ever devise a policy except under in
sistent pressure from the Administra-
ton. Mr.. Fordney graciously an
nounces that hearings will be held
on taxation soon after Congress meets
The hearings ought to have been in
progress from the day that the new
Administration came into office. 1t is
useless to talk about return of pros
perity until the country knows what
is to be done about taxes that are
bleeding industry white. 1t is like
wise useless to expect a return of
prosperity while the United States re-
fuses to ifft finger to stabilize con-
ditions in Europe and thereby give
to the farmer and manufacturer the
foreign markets that they require.
The country needs peace, reassuran-
ce and economical government; so the
| Harding Administration is preparing
to enact a tariff law to protect the
American farmer from foreign COM
petition that does not exist. Political
taking has never been carried to
further extremes in time of crisis.

THE GLORY OF CHEWING GUM

No twentieth amendment threatens
chewing gum nor will one If Senator
Sherman of Illinois is on hand to pre-
vent it. He is speaking for the packers
bill, but where shall one find pepsin
without pigs and pigs without pack
ers?
Mr.. Sherman: "What under heaven
would the gum chewers do if pepsin
could not be furnished now in COM
mercial form? 1t gives us an excuse
to chew for the stomach's sake, as
wine was advised by Paul to Timothy
Chewing gum never could have reached
its present magnitude if it had not
been for the pepsin taken from the
packing plants of the country. The con-
firmed dyspeptic chews pepsin gum.

SETTING UP
THE TREE
NT ALMOST every corner grocer's

NT ALMOST every corner grocer's
~ stands can be purchased very
cheaply that will hold the Christ
mas tree firmly In position.
The simplest of these consists of a
crosspiece of wood raised a little from
the floor by wooden supports and hav-
ing a hole in the center to insert the,
trunk of the tree.
More elaborate ones take the form
of wooden square, painted bright
red and surrounded by low wooden
railing.
Country jewellers who cannot pur-
chase these trees at the corner store
but have to cut them In the nearest
wood lot, must devise some other way
of holding the Christmas tree in posi-
ton.
The easiest way to do this, If the
tree is not too large and heavy, Ia to
insert the trunk into the hole through
the bottom of wooden box, and
either paint this box green or red or
cover 1t with green or red paper.
A starch box will hold up a small
tree perfectly, but a somewhat larger
box must be chosen for one of larger
growth. If, in spite Of all precautions,
the tree seems too heavy and is In
clned to wobble, weight the box on
either side with heavy stones. Some
times the box is filed with sand, the
trunk planted in that. and then the
wooden cover nailed In place to make
all very solid.
II one has any talent for carpentry,
even Of the toughest sort, an effective
support can be made by mailing two
pieces of wood In the shape of
square cross. holding the tree upon
this and mailing cleats to both tree
and support until 1t stands firmly.
A very pretty effect can be obtained
by covering the support of the tree
and the floor directly around it with
white cotton batting on which silver
Sinsel, called rain" in most shops, has
been sprinkled. This makes the tree
look as if Ii were growing In bunch
OF snow glittering In the sun.

eide. This occurrence appeared to have
had deciding influence on her mind. q
On Christmas Day when every body Vas
joyfuly celebrating at home in America,
the unhappy American girl, alone in Paris,
deserted by all her gay friends, took fatal
dose of veronal and died.
In her last letters she complained bitter
~ that she was absolutely ruined. In one
letter she wrote:
II have not got the price of another din
ner. and l haven't rag fit to wear"
She expressed desire that her. body
might be cremated and her ashes scattered
to the winds. Finally she hoped that some
of her former friends would take care of
her maid-her sole remaining servant
Why is it that the woman who has fallen
into dissipation so easily turns to suicide,
when other women who have to face the
greatest mfsfortunes and hardships con-
tinue to struggle bravely on? The answer
has been given by n distinguished clergy
man who has had much experience in COM
forting unhappy women.
The good woman who has to face pow
erty, sickness and other great misfortunes
is strengthened by the knowledge that she
has the respect of her friends and society.
her for support and good example Her
nerves have not been injured by wine
drugs and other indulgences. She looks
forward with confidence to a future, when
her courage will be rewarded and her suf
ferings at an end
Normal women who have led modest
and virtuous life are much less subject to
the suicide impulse than men. This fact
has been widely discussed by scientists
DR.. Havelock Ellis. the great authority on
sex differences. says:
Suicide in Europe is from three to four
times more frequent in men than in women.
This was first shown in the last century
by the famous nlienist, Esquirol Dr. Bucura
considers that one Of the chief reasons
why men commit suicide oftener than
women lies III the greater proportion Of
unfit persons among men.
"As old age comes on there is a much
stronger tendency to suicide anon yst
males than females. The proportion of
suicides among women is much higher at
the age of about twenty than in later years
In the United States the average age OF
male suicides Is forty-folr, while that of
female suicides is only twenty-five =
"Male prcponderance in suicide has been
explained by saying that women are more
sheltered in the struggle for existence;
that they are more adaptable, more self
sacrificing, more resigned. more influenced
by religious scruples and public opinion
ard less given to alcoholism"

early married to prosperous young bust

IL. IL
beautiful girl with unusual talents that
qualified her to be either a society leader
or distinguished actress.
She grew dissatisfied with the refined
but quiet and modest surroundings OF
Louisville and quarrelled with her hus-
band. Just before the war she moved to
London. where she quickly won a brilliant
social success and became prominent in
the liveliest set Of fashionable society, q
set that included persons OF undoub;ed
rank and others OF more bohemian afflia-
lions. She frequented the most expensive
hotels and restaurants and also the fash.
tonable night clubs, which are now the
fayorite resorts of the gayest set in Lon.

enormous bills were being paid by a
famous millionaire, but she was not de-

noted for his exqustely cooked dinners,
and she treated her guests to the contents

Her extrayagances were excessive. She
wore dazzling jewels, and on top of all this
she became reckless gambler After an
evening spent in dining and winning she
would spend the rest of tho night until

all her money and borrowing more on her
jewels. Her millionaire friend grew weary
