the minutes of the proceedings by which the terms Of
the treaties were arrived at In other words, he
placed before the senate all the information in his
possession bearing upon the agreements by which it
was proposed the United States should be bound. Not
so did President Wilson. A vast amount of the data
pertaining to the peace conference at Versailles was
hidden away in what has since been called the "steel

Professor Alfred E. Stearns of Phillips academy,
Andover, Mass recently addressed a Chicago audi
ence of fathers and mothers, and did not fail to point
out duty and place responsibility upon parents of the
present dry for the conditions found in almost every
community m the land.
The fspper and the lounge lizard are the direct
product of the neglect of parents, warns the profess
sor, and then:
aFlappers would not flap 50 high if their mothers
did not show them the way and sons would follow a
narrower path IL their fathers used the rod more and
the whisky flask less.
youth does not change. T. is the same today as it
was yesterday. It is the parents who have changed.
Instead of proper home life the modern youth is raised
in a flaming world where jazz. booze and the blatant
sex appeal of motion pictures and modern books COM
bine to bring out his worst qualities.
Every boy bas a potential DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde
in his makeup. Constantly these two opposing forces
arc fighting for control. On one side is the base ami
NAL nature-the sex appeal. On the other IS the de-
sire for ideals and the spiritual, wholesome, upright
life. These forces are evenly balanced and with prop
er surroundings the good viii triumph.
"Civiization has realized that youth has a hard fight
On its hands and has rade it as easy as possible for
the boy to be good. The fight against sex is the boys
hardest fight, and in the past the home life has been
the biggest factor in aiding the boy to keep himself
under control.
"Rut that is changed today. The youth Is not given
a chance. Vice is exalted and virtue made repulsive.
Movies, modern literature, and the social influence
which makes a married life a mockery and of home
simply a shelter for father, mother, and the children,
all combine to aid the worst side of the boy to
triumph.
Home should be g place for the growth of disci-
pine. Children should know restraint The great
men in our history were the men who knew what dis
cipline was-even the sort of discipline administered
with a rod.
To-day the majority Of mothers and fathers do not
stay at home. The home that has influence is beconn-
ing a rare thing. There is no restraint Fathers and
mothers break the prohibition laws fagrantly in the
sight of their children.
81 ask you, is that playing fair with the youth of to-
day. Decidedly it is not. Rugged manhood is wait
ing for the appeal. It viii respond to the challenge
of manhood as quickly as it ever did, but first we must
give them a chance. Social conditions today are an
invitation to boys to do wrong. 1t should be just the
other way about"

WINGED that there IS no way in which
the returning soldier could be SO per
manentiy benefited as through oppor-
tunft1es for acquiring farm homes
After consultation with Secretary
Lane and various members Of the
house and senate. I introduced on the
first day OF the first session OF sixty
sixth congress-. May IL. 1913. a bill
which became known as the soldier
settlement bill This measure was
carefully considered by the committee
on public lands. 10 which it was re
ferred. and extensive hearings were
held upon II. These hearings develop
ed the fact that large numbcr OF ex-
service men were anxious to secure
tho advantages Of such a measure.
The measure was Endorsed by leaders
OF labor, students OF land reclamation
development. and by practically all
those who had made a study Of the
problems involved The bill was final
ly reported by the committee and
placed on the calendar. and when the
American Legion reported its four-fold
plan the first feature of the plan was
the soldier settlement bill. As I have
stated above. tho plan in a somewhat
modified form was accepted as a part
of the five-foid plan which was re
ported by the committee on ways and
lean and which passed the house
Briefly. this bin creates a fund
which shall be used for the develop

regions tho areas so developed would

AS A SOCIAL. EcoNoMIsr.

William E.. Gilroy, the new editor of the Conrre-
gationalist, writes on Lincoln as a social economist
and says:
"To the economics of social life Lincoln brought a
clcarness of vision comparable only to that of the
prophet Amos. As Amos came in from the fields, with
a clear penetration into the elemental facts of ma
tufe, interrupted by the superfcialities and sophis-
tries of city life, SO Lincoln brought to the nations
capital the plain teachings of a frontiersman's expert
ence. He had seen no mystic forces supporting the
lazy, and no strange providence supplying the needs
of the rich Life was based directly upon work and
struggle, and all sustenance came directly from the
soil So beneath the mechanism and artiiciaIities of
society he saw that all wealth was Ultimately the prod
uct of labor, and with almost uncanny accuracy he as
serted the primacy of labor to capital. He saw that
no economic juggling and adjustment can ultimately
and permanently affect the interests of society where
the fundamental factors of productive labor. and Just
distribution are neglected.; and in so far as Lincoln
was capable of feeling contempt he had contempt for
those who wished to live as parasites, refusing their
fair share of the worlds burden.
"There is a deep need of reconsidering the eco
the two-fold error of imagining that either profits, on
the one hand, or wages, on the other, can be fairly or
adequately considered apart from the productive labor
that is their source. Where profits are grabbed that
are not canned, society is paying the bill, and where
wages attain a fictitious imitation, unrelated TO actual
efficiency and production, other labor is undoubtedly
being robbed to make good the deficiency. 1t seems
a truism, but as a matter of fact it is the hardest prin.,
ciple to grasp, this principle of Lincoln, that at the
soul of all national prosperity and social betterment is
the need of a fundamental honesty, not only in money
matters, but the whole coin of life, political as well as
social and commercial"

Even before the close OF the great

would cease and the returning soldier.
sailor or marine wouldNiook about him
for opportunities. II was realized. Of
course. that perhaps the majority CT
the returning soldiers would return to
their former and usual a~vocaticns and
employment. but we also recalled the
fact that. while tho soldiers OF the
civil war who desired to establish
farm homes found an unlimited public
domain awaiting them. the soldier Of

tiles on h public domain. even with
all Of the preferences hat could be
granted him. and that II the returning
veteran without funds was to be given
an opportunity to establish himself on

whereby no could receive aid in that
direction

of you arc anxious to enable the re
turning veteran to secure a farm
home. do you not aid him In secur-
ing n farm already developed and
ready for occupancy The answer is
that the adjusted compensation plan
does contemplate as one OF its features
the application Of the adjusted com
p~ensaton on the purchase OF a farm
homo which the soldier may select for
himself. While that feat. &c of an ad-
justed compensation plan has its vir-
tues it cannot, however. take the
place of a plan OF farm settlement

W Mr.. BRYAN.

That the dehation program of the Wilson admins
tration hit the farmers first and hardest Of all is COM
mon knowledge. 1t is also common knowledge that the
only maximum price fixing undertaken by the Wilson
administration was that which fixed maximum prices
for agricultural products. When congress had under
taken to fix a minimum price for wheat the admins
trative department of the government adopted prac-
tees which made that price the maximum price.
In view of the ~unfailing efforts of the Wilson adj
ministration to injure agriculture at every opportunity
and to refuse to aid agricultural industry in time of
pressing need, it is impossible to understand by what
line of reasoning Mr.. Bryan reaches the conclusion,
voiced by him, that the farmers hold the present ad-
ministration responsible for their financial dilemma
and will elect a Democratic congress next November.
It was not only by affirmative acts that the Demo
cratic administration spread disaster throughout the
agricultural community. but by negative acts as well.
1t will be remembered that the Democrats began their
deiation program early in 1920 and the farmers felt
the blow that had been aimed at them when it came
time to cell their crops in the fall of that year. Recog-
nIzing the seriousness of the situation, the senate COM
mittee on agriculture presented, on the second day of
the session of congress in December, 1920, a resolu-
ton which had been approved by unanimous vote of
the committee prior to its introduction, reviving the
War Finance corporation.
This resolution presented by Senator A. J. Gronna
of North Dakota, recited that there existed UMPIRE
cedented distress on account of the inability of farm
es to dispose of their products, Notwithstanding the
people of Europe were in dire need of these articles of
food, and that resolution directed the revival of the
corporation in order to assist in finding foreign mar
kets for the American surplus. That resolution was
supported by Republicans and Democrats alike in the
committee on agriculture. 1t was passed by both
houses but was vetoed by President Wilson in a mes
sage transmitted to congress on January 3, 1921. On
the same day it was passed in the senate over the
presidents veto and on the next day was passed over
the veto in the house. Both houses of congress, at
that time, were Republican.
The Republicans did not assert or assume that the
revival of the War Finance corporation would cure
all the ills from which American agriculture was then
suffering. They did not expect it to right the wrongs
that hao been perpetrated. 1t was the only measure,
however, that offered even a small degree of relief
and they passed it in defiance of the opposition and
veto of the Democratic president.
American farmers, with the record before them, are
not likely to be deceived by the statement of Mr..
Bryan or any other Democrat, that the Rspoblcan ad-
ninistration should be held responsible for the present
predicament of the agricultural industry.
