uninfiuenced by what France might
be disposed to do.
A strong party here would favor
making the five-power treaty three

Swindlers can invent artful lodges
to evade the laws rather faster than
the legislature can pass them. Their
devices are ingenious. A few months
ago a frisky New York broker named
Callahan, who failed last week leaving
his customers $4,000 in the lurch,
was arrested for "petering." The game
of petering is played in this fashion:
A salesman had unloaded 200 shares
of stock called American Art Stores"
on a victim at IS a share An urgent
telephone message came to the pur-
chaser offering So a share The VIC
tim bought 300 more shares at IS each.
Then he found that the telephone otter
of IS was a fake, and the firm that
was supposed to be offering the IS
was a myth. The victim had Callahan
arrested. but could not make the
charge of grand larceny stand up, and
the broker was released to go back to
his brokerage game, and ultimately to
gyp a string of customers out of about
5000. 900.

The progress of thought of some of
our major industries through their de-
velopment under tariff protection is
interesting. Having achieved the fl
nancial solidity necessary to their own
life they now use their energy mainly
to keep those materials which they
must buy on the free list They want,
for example, free manganese ore and
protected ferromanganese, or free
manganese ore, free ferromanganese,
and protected steel products depend
ing solely on how far up on the eco
nomic ladder they stand. To support
themselves and industry above them
on the economic ladder and kick off
every industry below is no easy feat
of tariff acrohatics. And We do not
predict for it much applause from the
industries the legislators or the tariff
who make up the audience.

timid glances at the approaching cleo

those who served in the army is that

we do, that it will do more harm than
good; it measures an honorable per-

There is one thing no state can af-
ford to skimp on. That is education
The higher the education of any COM
munity the better off the community
is. The greatest single difference be-
tween Russia and the United states is
that Russia is uneducated and the
United States has public schools. It
is to the everlasting credit of the state
administration that it has understood
the importance of education to Mis-
souri, and has taken steps to make it
possible for every boy and girl. in
the country as well as in the city. to
get a decent training. It may take an
additional tax of three cents an acre
to pay for the improvement. Could
there be any investment or three cents
