GETTING THERE FIRST

Senator French of Maryland, now touring Eu-
rope and writing his impressions to the New York
World, says the Germans are rapidly monopoliz-
ing the trade of Russia Though no more in SYM
pahy with communism than we are. the German
business men are not singing themselves TO sleep
with the fiction that sovietism is on the last lap OF
the toboggan, or that Lenine and Trotsky spend
most of their time sending each other to Jail. On
the contrary, they are sending commissions to find
out what Russia has to sell and what she wants
to buy, and they are financing exchanges of pro-
ducts
Among the trade thus secured, Senator French
mentions one hundred locomotives, manufactured
by the Krupps, for Russia, and another order for
a similar number booked. They also sending
optical goods, cutlery, and scores of other manu-
featured products.
In return. Germany is buying up the products
Of the great hemp fields south of the Baltic and
securing virtual monopoly of that product. Wood
pulp grain, and many other things which the
Russians are still managing to produce, among
the things taken in exchange for German goods.

was checked by the coal strike just as she
opening up the Russian market. But there are
German-EngLsh syndicates trading at Perograd
and Moscow, and there seems to be virtual part
nershp of the two nations in exploiting this trade.
America passed it up as sour grapes. Possibly
it may be found, however, that the British and
Germans, who were nearer the scene of action,
and perhaps less inclined to censor the character
of their customers, have beat us to one Of the
worlds greatest sources of wealth. for in spite of
all belief and prejudice to the contrary. there
a possibility that modified form of the present
Russian government will restore that country to
activity and lead to the development of its wonder
full resources. We are quarrelling over zap and
China. Why not take hand in Russia and see
what comes of it?

THE KILLERS

The toughs are busy everywhere. we hear their
weapons bark and ring, the smell of powders on
the air, and undertakers dance and sing; the
crime of murder, erstwhile rare, has now be-
come common thing. The burglars are
prompt to Stay, it saves lot of precious time;
don't block the eager gunmans way-hed shoot
you for bogus dime; I'm lodging bullets all
the day, amid this carnival of crime. We're GEN.
soring to beat the band, forbiddng this, forbid
ding that and inspectors roam the land with
large brass badge upon each hat and many evils
have been canned-the old stone jug, the brew
ers vat. And we ndorse all laws so blue they
make the sinner wilt and fade if there's cigaret
in view, we form our ranks to make a raid; we
yet will Jail the goddess who swallow circus
lemonade We're censoring the movie shows,
to shield the youthful sports from sin; we raid
suburban bungalows to look for bottles in a bin;
and we inspect your garden hose, lest it's been
used for squirting gin. Oh, our inspectors close
hotels, and pinch the baker for his bread; each
day they try to sound the knes of some abuse
some evil dread; but who inspects the man who
sells the guns that fill our streets with dead?

DYESTUFFS AND PROTECTION

Congressman Frear Of Wisconsin has performed
a public service of the highest order in his fight
against schedule of the Fordney tariff bill. This
schedule covers dye stufs. 1t imposes duties
around $50 per cent on all imported dyes. AS the
country does not. and probably cannot. manufac-
ture all its own products under this head means
the maintenance of price five or six times greater
than normal for coloring material which would be
added to the price of clothing and paid. like all
other taxes, by the ultimate consumer.
1t will be recalled that dye monopolisls recently
resorted to propaganda, of kind which would
have been utterly disgusting had the country been
entirely over its war mania. The press was filled
with articles about the necessity of deprving Ger
many of her dye factories. because they could be
used as gas manufacturing plants in time of war.
All the ignorance and prejudices of the country
were enlisted against the import Of dyes from
abroad, assuming, though it was not a fact, that
all the dyes were made in Germany. and the way

THOUGHTS OF AN EVENING
IN A PUBLIC LIBRARY
(By Moses Folsom.)

Books ask tips in the public library They
instruct without threats. If you approach them
they not asleep If you interrogate them
they conceal nothing. Ii you mistake them they
do not grumble, do they laugh at you if
you ignorant of their revelations. Consider
how many evenings you may have just from one
book and how slight the cost-just your time
Emerson said: THE true university is col
lection of books" Chairs are free and SO is
the light in the public library. Help yourself,
There are on the earth at this time about
1000, 100000 human beings. How long mankind
has inhabited this planet we do not know. We
find great without much trouble far
back $500 years If we assume that the aver
age of life is and has been, thirty years, which
is probably too great average, and further
assume that the present population has repeated
itself every thirty years, the total reaches the
enormous number of 1873 billions. This may fall
short of the actual number of people who have
lived but it is sufficiently vast to make think
and that is good for all of u.s.
Oxford University, over in England, some time
ago printed list of the 1000 greatest names
in all known history. This group made up
by careful going over and sitting the records
OF time. In it were included men of all call
ings. These names all came approximately with
is born the average of twoand-ahalf
years.
Now, 1000 men compared with 1873 billions is
as to 1873 millions. There was, according
to this assignment, in 1873 billions who
survived in recorded history. II this vast ag
gregation of men-1S3 billions-could be
placed in straight line. each man occupying
square foot of standing room, there would be
from great man to the next the distance of
1873 million feet in easier terms it would be
about 25 900 miles-once around the world-from
great man to the next.
If you had to walk along this line to consult
the worlds 1000 greatest men and you could
average Is miles day, it would take you ZOO
days or about three years to pass from one to
the other. In this of life of 20 years,
you could by walking regularly meet 20 great
mon and get half way to the next one--but you
could not stop to talk with any of them.

was carefully paved for the imposition of huge
protective duties under the sanction of patriotism
Frear exposes the whole plot. He has shown
that dyes are made in America largely by the same
concerns that make munitions of war; The Du
Points, for instance, incorporated as the Allied
Chemical and Dye Corporation. with hundred
million dollars capital made more than sixteen
millions net profits in 1920.
During the war;" says Frear.' an American
dye business of enormous proportions grew up over
night like mushroom, extracting unconscionable
war profits from the American public. For six
years it has enjoyed complete monopoly against
all foreign dye competition. The American dye
industry is now controlled by the Chemical Foun-
daton that represents over half billion dollars
in assets. This trust now demands continuation
of the war embargo SO that dye prices, still main
tanned at several times pre-war prices may be
continued indefinitely without danger Of competi-
ton. while the ultimate consumer pays the bill.
The whole miserable, hypocritical fraud known
as protection" is fully excmpi6ed in-this instance.
Dishonest to the core, protection dehles what
ever it touches. 1t disorts even the history of the
war; seeks to play upon the patriotic feelings of the
people, fans race hatred sows seeds of mutual dis
trust among the people at home and falsi6es fact,
principle and common Sense, all for the purpose Of
permitting a half billion dollar combination TO
make an admitted profit of several hundred per
cent on an article of common use and necessity.
The sane and conservative" tariff grafters will
never forgive the Wisconsin representative for
thus presenting CLOSE up of their methods and
purposes but if the people of the United States
ever awake to their true interests they will not fail
in their tributes to the few who were brave enough
to serve them with the truth while falsehood and
hypocricy were in the asccndent.

Plans for the reconstruction Of

proceeding rapidly. The committee
on public works of the city council
this week unanimously approved m
ordinance permitting the university
to arcade the sidewalks surrounding
Franklin Field so that the stands
may be built higher and further

seating capacity Of $4,000, with a
possibility that seating capacity Of

the other day an interesting exchange

head coach OF the Princeton football

city council, and Murdoch Kendrick,
a member of the University Of Penn

Mr.. Roper was one OF the most
enthusiastic members of the council
in urging that the city authorities
give every assistance to the university
in It's plans to enlarge the field. When
one OF the councilmen suggested to
Mr.. Kendrick the possibility that with
an enlarged field Princeton and Penn
syivania might get together again in
football, Mr.. Kendrick heartily sec
onded the motion. This brought from
Mr.. Roper the following remark:
"If I had my way the Princeton
