able as was reported and that this
weakens the argument for protection.
General reasoning may be over

out of the general run does not over

experience. dr. James W. Gerard
gave his party warning that German

had already found that out. and Eng
land knew it better tina we did. II
the competition is less severe in some

THAT is-marry young
THE majority of those $500 cases
came before me because either the

folks wait too long to get married.
They insist On having bank accounts,
furnished homes. motor cars and
everything all ready.
And, in waiting for these things,
they learn to become seif-centered
and selfish. They want things their

they rush into divorce court. They

that the total gross public debt of the
United States was reduced by $780,

1922, and it now stands at $22,S12,O4S,-
600, as of September 80, compared with

dicates a reduction of nearly $4,000,

a billion and one-third reduction an

PACIFISM, TO .MILITANCY

Reports from Washington state that
the Republican administration has
been absolutely dumfOunded by the
avalanche of demands that this coun-
try intervene in the Near Eastern sit
uation, and if necessary join Great
Britain in a war on Turkey. The
white house and state department
have been literally swamped with res
OlutiOns from all over the country in
sisting that the Turks must be checked
regardless of cost, and practically all
of this insistence has come from
church organizations, it is said. APP
parently these organizations would in
woke war before an opportunity could
be afforded for diplomacy to smooth
out the situation.
This is a sad commentary on these
organizations Tive years ago they
were insisting that the United States
join the league of nations declaring
that this would insure permanent
peace to the world. Many of them ia
yOred our acceptance of the Armenian
mandate which, had we accepted it,
would have found us today with a few
thousand men face to face with the
Kemalists of Turkey. Now they are
impatient of compromise and arbitra-
ton. Meanwhile the league of nations
has displayed it's greatest ability in
duclSing the Near Eastern question
and refusing to have anything to do
with it.
Such a volti-face as this thoroughly
vindicates the Republican majority in
the senate for refusing to be swayed
from it's judgment in the exciting days
of 1919 when massed pressure was
brought to bear to force it's ratifica-
ton of the league covenant. And
with Harding and Hughes in charge
of our foreign relations it isn't likely
that the clamor of those who change
opinions over night will affect the
calm and judicial consideration of the
matter which the president and the
secretary of state will give.
