Diplomacy Inlay De COllllilS Ouo
into the open following Ameri-
cas- lead on open diplomacy free
ly and openly arrived at, but it
isn't safe to trust entirely to the
open door but it is well to hunt
for any secret passages which
may have been overlooked. 1t
seems that the reason for Presi,.
dent Harding's refusal to join IN
the Genoa economic conference
is because it is not economic at
all except that five million dol
lars in exchange for certain
trade concessions in Russia might
be economic. 1t seems to be
developing that many OF the
European governments were
eager to make concessions which
would allow them to resume
trade in Russia. To do this, it
would take five million dollars to
prop up the Soviet government
to have a government to do bust
ness with. Americas part would
be to dig up the five million. 1t
is Just as we'll for us not to be
there. We are willing to do our
utmost for the Russian people,
but the soviet government has
got to show some ability to safe
guard the rights and lives of the
Russian people before we do any
propping in that direction.
William Jennings Bryan pos
sesses the gift of gab' and like
all followers of much speaking, he
furnishes as much amusement to
the nation as food for thought.
Just now he is fighting the
monkey theory and making some
thing of a monkey of himself.
Darwinism as an issue was
fought out years ago and Mr.
Bryan has so many eminent
divines against him it would
seem that his belief in tie
literal Interpretation of Genesis
might be a little shaken. But
then it never did disturb William
J. to have men of authority dis
agree with him for he likes to
stand alone--the limelight is
brighter shining on solitaire.
1t will be merely a humorous in
cident unless by some curious
twist in the body polite, freedom
to teach science history or art as
the latest facts reveal them is
prescribed by legislature act.
Then surely we would be return
ing again to dark ages. The
probable course of events will
soon regulate this anti-Darwin-
ism DOGGY to the cemetery of
Bryan's other discarded hobbies.
Here is a little story on adj
vertising. Years ago a New
England doctor found a remedy
which helped his patients. He
tried it on a lot Of them, cover
ing a long period of years. Final.
ly it came to him that he would
place it on the market and he
began an advertising campaign
in a small way. The remedy was
good, the doctors reputation was
good and the advertising let
both facts be known. Each year
increased the sales and the ad-
vertising kept up with the grow
ing business. The business final
ly became a corporation and the
remedy was established on the
market with big financial results.
Then the corporation felt that it
was giving away the money
spent in advertising for it would
advertise itself. No contracts
were renewed and this is what
happened. The sales fell off
practically to nothing, the busl-
ness died. 1t pays to advertise
is more than a catch phrase.
Business dies unless you adver-
tie.
They knew quite a lot in the
old days. We are finding it out
every time the scientist goes out
to dig in piles of antiquity.
Egypt has given the world more
than one shock when we thought
we had made a discovery. Now
it shows us that the mummies
had hardening of the arteries,
which the present day saints
have supposed was product of
modern civilization. Of course
they didn't go the pace as we do
today, they didn't smoke nor
drink hard liquors, but evident
