shock to his associates, all reports that
they had received indicating that he
was on the road to recovery. During
his last evening he conversed with his
nurse, telling her of his plans to leave
his bed soon and to throw himself into
the fight the workers are making to

AMERICAN POLITICS AS AN Elk
PRESTON OF THE SHALLOWNESS
OF THE AMERICAN MIND
By Geofge d. Coleman

i eS$N'A - - N(OASAAAoA
We find in such countries as Chile,
So. America, as many as five organized
political parties, in some other coun-
tries there are more parties, but in the
III. S. there have been but two parties
with an occasional third party which
both the old parties oppose, and when
any third party develops numbers and
begins to attain success, then the old
parties drop all their animosities and
unite upon coalesced ticket. Such a
thing could not naturally be UNLESS
THERE BE A UNITY OF INTEREST
IN THE TWO OLD PARTIES. The
two-party system is plainly proof that
they are both tools and agents of the
owning or master class. Looking ov-
er the political history of the U. S.,
we find that whenever the public are
unbearabIy disguised with the abuses
and corruptions of the party in power
they rally to the polls and vote the 9TH
er party into power, and when they are
shown to be equally as bad, they vote
the last party out and the old party
back to power. They change parties in
hopes to improve conditions. They
have never been able to conceive or
understand that third party is the on
ly hope for relief from the control and
dominance Of the owning class inter
| est.
American palitics is like the,old-time
story of the eight-legged dog. He had
four legs on, one side and four on
the other, and when tired running on
one side. he simply turned over and
ran on the other side. Now, American
politics is just like that. When the po-
litical dog runs on one side it is mark
ed REPUBLICAN, and when it runs on
the other, it is marked DEMOCRAT,
and the great American people have
the privilege on election day of TURN
ING THE DOG OVER; but the bIither-
ing Idiots have never yet discovered
that it's the same dog running all the
time. And verse, let anyone attempt
to tell them that last plain fact, and
they will rise up in anger, call them
anarchists, bolshevists, boogie men, or
some epithet they could not explain
if they tried. and cast them out. Is it
any wonder Barnum said: THE Amer
lean people like to humbugged"? They
are race and nation of gullible suck
ers. They are not morally nor intel
'lectualIy fit for a free government and
constitutional liberties, and recent his
tory shows they are rapidly losing all
they ever had, and even the nominal
liberties that exist in name, but not
in fact, will soon be a matter. of the
past. As the creduIous German peo-
pie were led into the slaughter of the
world war and educated as tools of the
war lords, so, by the same methods
education, the press, the legal profess
sion, the church, the courts, and con-
troll of news service, the American peo-
pie are moulded intellectually into the
shape the owning class want them to
be; hence, union leaders preaching
owning class doctrines and the mass
adopting them. Labor never will be
free until it thinks labor thoughts in
stead of master-class thought.

WASHINGTON chemis-

The supposed elemental substances of
the chemist, what he calls elements,
are in fact compounds. In all ordin-
ary chemical processes these COM
pounds behave like elements, but it is
nevertheless possible by special chem

Invisible into more simple substances.
This discovery has revived to some
extent popular belief in alchemy, and
there have been of late many sug-
gestions in the press that gold may
be made artifcially and become so
abundant as to destroy completely
such utility as it may have as a meas
ure OF value and basis for currency.
It has even been stated that the late
5. F. Emmons, of the United States
Geological Survey, department of the
interior, claimed to have made synthe-
tic gold from silver dollars many
years ago. Mr.. Emmons never made
any such claim, and the statement
is absurd. No one has yet succeeded
in making gold or in obtaining it
from any other chemical element.

DISAGREE ON THE

Ouestionnaires Sh ow
Sentiment Divided on
Medical Value.

Observation-Disclosures of 3;
states and the District of Columbia
replying to questionnaires sent out by
the Journal of the American Medical
association divided almost equally OH
the question of whether whiskey is a
necessary therapeutic agent in the
practice of medicine. The vote was
in favor of whiskey, but by less than
a II to II ratio, while beer was de-
clared unnecessary by approximately a
5 to / majority and wine was opposed
by about to ratio. Restrictions in
prescribing whiskey were favored by a
majority of approximately Is to 9.
Il Figures showed that out of 1O,304
questionnaires returned by physicians,
5,577 declared whiskey was neces-
sary therapeutic agent and 4,641 stat
ed that they found it Of no value. New
York doctors were virtually 4 to in
favor of whiskey and these ryures
with those of Louisiana, Maryland,
Missouri, New Hampshire and the
District of Columbia, resulting in the
majority favoring whiskey. More than
1000 doctors reported they could cite
instances in their own practice where
unnecessary suffering had resulted
from enforcement of the prohibition
law.

Collections of income and profits tax
es for the nation for the December
IS quarter totaled $523,973,000, while
it was estimated that not more than
$5O0OO0,OOO would be collected. The
total for the corresponding quarter
in 1920 was about $670.000,000.
1t was pointed out that the 1921
taxes were on business done in 1920,

WASHINGTON-The agricul-

tors asked the finance committee
to impose a duty of FIVE cents a
pound on short staple raw cotton
and IS cents a pound on long
staple cotton grown in New
Mexico and Arizona and a basic
rate Of 50 cents a pound on raw
wool instead of the Is cents
pound in the Fordney bill. The
committee was also urged to in
crease the Fordney rates on num-
erous farm products, notably
wheat, barley, oats, corn, potatoes,
poultry and fruits, and to impose
duty on hides.

forming into gold some substance
that has hitherto been regarded as a
simple element, the process would be
so difficult and costly as to make the
gold far more expensive than the ma
tural metal. The silver-dollar story
is probably based on the fact that the
silver and copper Of which our So
called coins are made do contain ex-
ceedingly minute quantities of gold
quantities too small to be of any
practical importance.

Luxury Business
Shows Big Slump
Importations Take Less
Money Out of the
Country.

WASHINGTON-Even the inn
porters of Injuries are reducing ma
terially the. sums of money which
they are sending out of the country
for the classes of articles which may
be properly included under that term
"luxuries." Taking 50 principal i'm
ported articles or Groups of articles
usually included under that general
title, it appears that their value in
1921 totals only $330,000, 900 as against
$525, 100000 in 1920, an APPARENT re-
duction Of about 81 per cent in the
amount of money sent out of the
country for 1uxuries in 1921 when com.
pared with 1920.
This fall off in importation of lux.
uries. says the Trade Record of the
National City bank of New York,
is due in part to smaller quantities Of
the articles brought in and in some
cases to lower prices, though in this
class Of merchandise the reduction il
price comes more slowly than in many
other classes Of articles imported, es.
pecially manufacturing materials ant
foodstuffs. which show a much larg.
er fall in prices than do the finished
articles and especially those classed
as Injuries. In automobiles imported
for example, the number brought into
the country in the II months ending

against 1853 in the same months of tn.
