From the New York worldo
 Does history record any great event more charged with bitter irony than the decision of the Harding Ad- ministration that the United States is once more to be represented in the councils of Europe; that Roland w. Boyden. a Wilson selection, will "sit agan in an unofficial capacity on the Preparation Commission that our Ambassador in France will resume his place as unofficial observer on the Conference of Ambassadors;'' that Col Harvey, of all men, will sit in the seat of Woodrow Wilson to represent us in '-the deliberations of the Supreme Councir'?
 Welcome beyond power of words to express will be this act to thinking Americans. It is, as the Tribune de- scrfbes it, '-the most important and far-reaching act of the American Government since the signing of the armistice-" It heartens Europe, which well knows that American CO., operation in the settlement of the great international questions growing out of the World War will be of ma terial assistance" It is a concession to idealism and the American con- science.

CARELESS CHARGES OF
 DESEzRTTOG
From the New York Times-)


 Publication of the lists of draft evaders. given out by the War De- partment, has already raised serious questions No one wants to spare "slackers'' their deserved ignom1ny and punishment All newspapers and would consider it doing a public service, provided there was any cer- tainty that only the guilty were in cluded. But this is lacking The lists have not been searched and sift- ed as they should have been by the stances gross injustice has been done. Men have been posted as having lodged the army draft who actually did military service, or were killed in battle. Some of them went into the navy, yet are branded as slack ers*~%*
 This is bad work by the War De- partment, which is asking the press to shoulder a. burden that should not be put upon it-"*""
 The fault of the War Department is  in asking the public to do detective work which the military authorities and the Department of Justice should do for themselves Instead of issuing unverified lists of draft evaders, let them run down and indict and prose cute the actual offenders. Then there will be no difficulty in getting the widest publication of the names of the guilty. The press would use as big and black type as might be nec- essary to insure to these unworthy itizens their full due of public scorn But what has so far been done under the authority of Secretary Weeks is pretty complete Justification of the refusal of Secretary Baker to. make public lists of slackers which he could not be sure were accurate.

A DIFFERENCE IN CLIMATE
F'rom the Hartford Courant-,

F'rom the Hartford Courant)
 We should be reluctant to say how many hundreds of residents in the Connecticut valley passed owed it's roads on Sunday to the shores of Long Island Sound but a certain percent age of them must have noted that they passed the advance of spring somewhere in the journey.
 Hereabouts. for instance, the ap- pie trees shed their blossoms more than a week ago, divested themselves of their glory as it were, until autumn but apple trees along the shore, fifty odd miles south of northern Connec- ticut are not yet in full bloom, If this fact was at all logical it would follow that winter might be encoun- tered off Delaware or near there but the person who undertook to oyertaka winter bly, going South would be dis appointed even though if he travelled in a northerfy direction he might find the seoson further advanced in Mon treal than in Hartford
 The explanation of it is that water responds more slowly than does land to the influence of the suns rays. The water-cooled air. coming off the sound and the ocean, retards the de veiopment of vegetation along the Connecticut shore but by way of making amends for this, the date of the first killing frost of the season is delayed so that gardens along the shore are frequently gay with blos- sons long after they have become 1 sere in northern Connecticut for the great body of water though slow to feel the warmth of spring and sum mer is equally reluctant to cool in | autumn and early winter

LOST IN EASHON WOODS

Yesterday, in the woods of the town of EaSton, a few miles above this city, there occurred one of those neal tragedies when, by a merest chance of fortune. impending disaster was avoided by the narrowest margin and what bid fair to have the most seri- ous of consequences suddenly became the rarest of comedy
 Toward the time when evening shadows begin to fall a family, living far in the depths of EaStonS forest were surprised to see emerge into the clearing and make toward the house as fast as his nearly exhausted condition would allow, a short, gray haired man, rotund of figure and with precipitation flowing down his face, who eagerly inquired where he was.
 This information was gladly given and after little rest the man start ed off. following the directions given, on the Journey of a number of miles which lay between him and his home. The sight of the gray haired man plodding his weary way down the road touched the heart of the farmers daughter and exclaiming: "1 wouldn want to see grandfather walking that way' she ran for the auto and start ed to take the man home. She had not gone far when she met friends of the man franticaIly hunting for him and turned him over to them-
 The explanation of the poor mans predicament was simple; one of a group, interested in pedestrianism, on it's weekly hike, he had for some reason not apparent, become separat- ed from the rest and at fork of the way yielded to the seductive attrac- abruptly in a lake. Instead of re- tracing his steps, however, he plung- ed into the woods and in a few mo- ments was hope1essIy lost

town and the coal to the country.
The fuel value of the coal must ac-
cordingly be more than twice that of
corn, pound for pound, to justify the
burning OF coal instead of corn.
The staple memory of cheap corn
to tho present generation Of Missouri
goes back to the winter of 1861.
Much corn was sold that winter for
Q, 10, IL and 10 cents. The new
crop of corn this winter is apparently
to have a money price of about 80
cents higher than the famous low
level OF twenty-five years ago. But
the dollar Of this year is worth less
than one-half the dollar OF 1896. IN
actual buying power, accordingly,
corn of 1921 is considerably lower in
price than the famous cheap corn Of
1895. Fifty bushels of 10-cent corn
LCught ton of good coal in 1926. 1t
takes scventy-five bushels of corn to
buy as good a ton of coal now. A
hundred bushels of 1896 corn bought
fairly good suit of clothes. 1t takes
about $50 bushels to get an equiva-
lent in clothes value now. AS to the
difference in taxes, one chokes when
he considers it. So it goes down the
list, with only few exceptions.
These comparisons show how ex-
traordinary is the plight of this year.
corn farmers. And let there be no
doubt about it. this means a corre-
spending plight for those who live by
trade with the farmers. The coal
miners will feel it. The railroads,
losing two tons of traffic for every
ton of corn used for fuel will feel it.
We must face the fact that this bot
tomless corn market accentuates Sc
verely the industrial and financial
problem, not of the corn belt only
but the entire country.
The St. Joseph observer., 1921-10-29

1t has to be asked why the two
women themselves were not given the
offices. Mrs. Christine Bradley South
at least could have served acceptably
as minister to Panama, while Mrs.
Upton might have been given an Of
flee more to her taste il she felt her
self untitled TO be a member of the
federal trade commission.
Doubtless giving the husband Job
was in line with the wishes Of the
two women who performed such yeo-
man service for Harding and Coolidge.
They are now certainly in a position
to.reflect that "it's all in the family"
IL they are content why should any
one else complaint
After all. rewarding husbands for
the political services OF their wives is
not without advantages. The prac-
tice will tend to extirpate some of the
prejudice which remains among our
male citizens against the woman vot-
er. In view of the good luck OF Mr..
Upton and DR.. South. we may even
look forward to seeing men generally
striving to encourage their wives to
become active party workers. In
time a political Utopia for men might
be brought about, in which the wom-
en- would do all the work electing the
ticket and their husbands would get
all the offices.

THE "WAR IS OVER"

Even the United States senate has
at last been forced to admit the fact
that the war IS overland glory be
for that.
No one 1t can be safely stated is at
all proud of the peace treaty that has
now been made with Germany, but it
was the only way out of a bad mess,
the only kind OF a peace that, under
the circumstances, 1t was possible to
secure. A three year wait since the
armistice was signed was long enough.
and humiliating as it is, would have
continued indefinitely the preposterous
state of technical war between Ger
many and the United States. 1t would
have strengthened the hand of mill
tarlstic reaction at home and abroad.
1t would have interposed new obsta-
cles to the resumption of friendly re-
lations between two great nations. 1t
would have left the United States out

and dangerous as it is discreditable.
With the United States at last on
peaceful terms with the rest Of the
world we shall be free to embrace
the opportunities and discharge the
responsibilities Of peace. 1t will de-
pend upon the progress and enlight-
enment of the American people to
what extent we measure up to the
test. If public opinion wills 1t our
national government will soon re-
spond, and this republic will become
once more a helpful influence for in
ternational justice and good will rath-
er than an imICdiment.
Nations like individuals, have pages
in their history they would like to
forget. The pages that tell the sad
story of what partisanship did to the
United States in the three years fol-
| lowing the great war are not such as
our children win point to with pride
But "finis," let us hope, has been
written to that chapter. We are turn
ing over a new leaf. The story, hence.
forth, should make better reading.

Many a Sucker Was Cansht

American investors have lost over
two hundred million dollars in Ger
man marks and bonds. A regular
campaign has been on in this country
for some time and many a sucker has
been caught. Now they are absolute
ly worthless and all the money in
vested in them had as well been burn
cd. In fact. this country is suffering
severely by investing in worthless Sc
curities. 1t seems that there are
many Americans who cannot resist
the temptation to buy anything that
promises big returns. No widow with
little money is safe from these
sharks. They hunt them up and soon
have the dollars left them by a provi-
dent husband and the women have
nothing to show therefor except some
fancy oil stocks or some other blue
sky seeurities.-Moberly Democrat
