The French are agitated be-
cause "the European balance Of
power has been upset" Upset is
putting it mildly. Against a little
more than one hundred million
inhabitants of England, Italy and
France are now arrayed two hun
dred millions Of Germans ard
Russians, to say nothing of the
Turks and the possibility of other
hundreds of millions farther east.
The European balance is a deli
cate thing, to be established only
by a common-sense determine
tion to work and build instead Of
fighting and tearing down.
An Italian paper alleges that
Germany and Russia already have
m agreement as to foreign policy
with the new Turkish government
at Angora. That was inevitable.
1t will interest Rumanis, nesting
close to Bolshevism and other
Balkan states. Also the big allies.
Countries like Germany, Russia
and Turkey, with not much to
lose except their debts, may try
dangerous things.
Does mind col Erol matter?
Yes, also life ard death. You
need read no book on faith heal
ing to prove 1t.
In Berlin, Mr.. Kobler disliked
a merchant, ill of consumption.
Daily Mr.. Kobler called up the
unfortunate man to ask, "Have
you still got your lung?" or to
suggest "You had better hang
yourself; you will fail, anyway,
before you die" The victim died
prematurely.
Millions of fathers and moth
ers constantly putting into the
minds of children thoughts of
fear, disease, ETC., thus dimin-
ish their mental powers Of re-
sistance.
It is possible to protect chill
dren without frightening them.
This Is written not by a Chris
tian Scientist, but by one who
believes in real science. You
can use real science to combat
disease without frightening the
patient to death while using it.
That genius Of the news
paper world, Mr.. Frank A.
Munsey, discovers, and an
nounces with a Medusa frown,
that thirteen Republican Sen
ators are running for re-elec-
tion and every one is in favor
of the soldiers bonus.
Precisely, Mr.. Munsey, that
Is why elections are held, why
the majority is allowed to elect.
Republican Senators, up for re-
election every little while, are
compelled, in spite of them
selves, to ask, "What do the
people want?" and to add, "Pd
better give it to them. and not
be kicked out"
We revere gold and speak
Of it as though it were the only
real wealth. Yet all the gold
mines produce in a year not
more than a few hundred mil
lions. Last year the farms Of
this nation alone produced in
value twelve thousand three
hundred and sixty-six million
Ndollars $12, 1866, ,O0O. O.0O0.o0). There
is the country's real wealth,
which, as Otto H. Kahn points
out, keeps pace very evenly in
its rising and falling with the
country's manufactured wealth.
Protect farmers, workers,
manufacturers, and able bust
ness men, keep out Of foreign
considerations, and there is
nothing to worry this country.
The bonds Of New York city
sell above bonds of the United
States. New York can borrow
Mt a lower rate Of interest than
the Government. At first, sight
YOU say, Wonderful New York;"
At second sight, Intelligent,
rich investors" They put their
money into bonds of New York
because they are tax free. "To
him that hath shall be Civcn"-
Freedom from taxation. The
man that works for a salary,
the man making his profit
through business and building
up the country Is we'll taxed.
Exempt bonds dodge all income
tax. You can't expect to make
republican government perfect
success the first time you try 1t.
