TODAY. we vote. except in
wsshingtOn- And HOW do we
vote. Have half Of our lO0.-
60. zoe people any definite
td-.s on Why they vote or what
th<y vote for. beyond the fact
th-t they were born Repub-
bcans Or Democrats!
Do 10 per cent Of the peo-
ple know the names or any
tang about more than 10 per
cent Of candidates on the
oekets, They DO NOT.
Dinosaurs died of because
shsy grew too big. Their
he.ds hadn't brains enough
O. manage so big a body.
And the rats ate their feet.
Can q nation, stretching
from ocean TO ocean, and from
arctic 70 tropical weather, grow
% big that its brain can't take
care Of il, or protect, it from
political rats that eat its feet?
FINANCE is courageous
about money, but doesn't like
var. IL used to, but no more.
Kemal, the Turk, has told
the allies that he, alone, is
boss Of Constantinople and the
D4rdanelles. Warships can't
20 through, not even Eng
lands war ships. And every
ship that goes must salute the
Turkish government, of which
the other name is kemal. =
IT isn't hard TO see more war
IN that. You may say that the
allies, with their ships, flying
machines, INT, and trained
soldiers could soon remind
XemAl of his real size. And
taey could probably. But the
allies have had all the fighting
they want.
THIS country knows what
var costs. And the mere sug-
eestion of trouble in the East,
the -sassing" of England,
France, and the other western
ers by Kemal, you may see re-
fected in our brave, but not
TOO brave, stock market.
Yesterday the price of money
cent up, the value of stocks
went down. European money
shivsred violently. Francs,
which nobody seems to Want,
fell down again, and German
marks found a new sub-cellar
below the bottom cellar.
Europe and America are tired
Of war, but unfortunately Asia
g. not. One of these days per-
haps the Europeans will try to
stop fighting, cheating, rob-
bing. combining against each
other. and pay attention to
Asia
TO soften your worry about
the franc, the mark, the Turk,
and the allies, Mr.. Crissinger
tells you of the beginning of a
new era of prosperity. The
banks have added in one year
one thousand million dollars to
their assets. Find what COM
fort you can in that.
If YOU want to invest money
IN foreign bonds, turn from
Europe toward South America
and buy the bonds of Chile.
That's a rich nation, a friend, a
neighbor, and, in all probability,
Sow TH get your money back,
sifk interest.
The investment interests you
also because that bond issue
~as snatched by Charles E.
Mitchell, the able president Of
the National City Bank of New
York, from the jaws of the Brit
ish lion. It's a good loan,
profitable. Our English friends
had done everything but count
the profits, when along cam.
Mitchell and took it away.
American finance, boss of the
worlds cash, is reaching out.
SENTIMENT Is powerful.
The former kaiser led his people
FROM the heiehts of egotism
and Divine right to the morass
Of defeat. bankruptcy, and de-
.pair. The people could stand
that.
But he marries, a few months
after the death Of the empress
that lived for him and for his
dynasty, patiently manufactur-
me his long line of rather
ordinary sons. The marriage,
90 soon after the death of the
mother of his children, will hurt
his dynasty more than defeat
eculd do.
-Shame on a beaten KING"
s.id Henry Second, Of himself,
n. he died. "Shame on a
brater and remarked kaiser"
SAYS Germany.
