 A Misunderstood Man
 Tho Wisconsin senator is ono oR- eha
 least understood men in public life.
 In the Senate he speaks violently.
 with harsh voice and an excess of
 manner. He Is small and some of his loudness and emphasis is no doubt
 that compensation for lack of stature
 and presence to which men uncon-
 sciously resort; some of 1t is an ex-
 terior which Eas been cultivated to
 cover up an unusually shy and sensi-
 tive heart. The character in history
 and fiction which most intrigues
 him is Hamlet, that gentle soul unfit
 for life. He has spent years studying
 the shy Dane. He himself Is a Ham
 let who has taken up arms against
 a sea of troubles. The queer" man
 who would gain a franchise for his
 "queerness" must not be sensitive.
 The crowd likes better to persecute
 than to tolerate.
 An unusual loyalty explains the uHwillingness to compromise. Las OAicLLG alldCn05 nlmSc1I QG6Diy. "A characteristic act was his leaving the Senate for months to nurse a sick son back to health. It sets him apart from most men, who do not let sickness in the family interfere
 with their business and perform
 their full duty when they hire & trained nurse. People think of La Toilette, the public man. as an ego ist but this nursing of his son showed the utmost absence of egoism. Ana so 1t is w1eh all his intimate rela-
 tions. which are unusually swaet and tender. Whatever he is like prfvafe1y,
 publicly he Is placed, rated. cata- i! logued; the general mind is made up. The farm bloc no more turned to him than to Borah for leadership. He will always remain isolated.
 Dinners and Hootch

Bankers Failed.
 The renewed downward movement of the mark is the direct result of the failure of the bankers conference in Paris This conference was a last desperate expedient to keep Euro pean systems in being. Poincare' s speech torpedoed it. This was the most incredible because a loan was the only means whereby Germany could pay reparation. Does France want the bankruptcy of Germany more than her reparations? That is a plain question. The mutually de- structive aims cannot be reconciled. She can have one or the other. but she cannot have both. It appears that the bankruptcy of Germany is her first and dominant motive. France calls heaven and earth to witness that Germany does not pay. But the French policy aims to defeat every expedient that would enable her to pay. So Europe rushes toward a Niagara.
 World trade Is now paralyzed with the continued reaction to medieval ism. The whole country is living within itself. Modern Europe will perish on this basis. England Is most Immediately vulnerable. She lives on world trade. Half of her food is grown abroad. World trade now is diminished fifty per cent over 1914. That spells ruin for England. The recovery of Germany is necessary for the recovery of everybody. Economic ruin cannot be localized. Corpses are not healthy neighbors.
 France TmperIIed.
 The present insanity spells ruin for France as well as the rest. She is the most self contained nation of Europe, but she cannot live alone. Her private wealth Is great, but her budget deficit Is enormous. Instead of taxation she balances the budget by loans subscribed on the assump- tion of enormous separations from Germany. But the policy of securing separations becomes more and moro remote and visionary. Meanwhile the debt increases. More debt is created to pay interest. Where will this in sanity end? When the French peas ant finds himself with his safe empty will he continue to lend money to pay interest on the borrowings He will discover that economic and financial dule of Germany could not end with the economic and finan-

cial ruin of England He Is begin ming to make this discovery. France is showing ugly symptoms under the influence of the collapse of the mark. The present level of the franc is artificial. Maintained on a fiction when that fiction no longer is ten able the frauc will follow the mark to perdition and the present French policy will have achieved a complete triumph.
 Chamber UnteachabIe.
 Unfortunately there is one prospect oof a chance in France while the pres ent chamber continues l am assured that in the provinces public opinion is more sensible, but the chamber and the French press are unteach . able, and a new chamber will not be elected for eighteen months. Tho present chamber will not listen to reason and any statesman who of fered such a policy would fall. Tho elimination of Poincare. therefore, would be no remedy. He represents the mind of a chamber that would destroy any premier who dared te France the truth. In the. ctrcun stances. England. Italy and Ameri1 . will be compelled more and more to pursue an independent line.
 America Responsible.
 The root Of the catastrophe iltes l . America, leaving Europe to stew in its own juice. Had America and England joined hands to impose peace tn Europe French policy would have been overridden. History will never forget the Anglo American failure ta this crisis in the worlds affairs. If worse yet is to be averted, Amer ica and England must ac IL is impossible to forgive the French debt while the present dlsruptive pol icy Is pursued as the American and English taxpayers are grooming un- der the heavy burden. Is it reason- able that the French should be lightly taxed to raise loans to pay interest on the internal debt while interest on her ext ternal debt re- mains unpaid? This question can not continue repressed. There will be an alternative in the matter were France to adopt a policy that would enable Europe to live. We have made no claim, but it would pay England to present a demand on France to pay six hundred million pounds sterling to be permitted to set her factories to work again.

MAKING STATE BUDGET.

Little Rock-Van B. Sims, state comptroller, has begun work prelim- mary to making up the state budget for presentation to the next legisla- ture Within the next few days he will call on all state departments for the estimates of their needs for the next biennium.
 The estimate of revenues cannot be made until all departments have been reported, and the final report of the Arkansas Tax Commission is in, which will probably be not later than 30 days. Available revenues for the current biennium totaled $10,S87, ,461. Appropriations for the biennium were S10,5 60,2S939.
 MT. Sims believes that the revenhes will be slightly decreased this year because of the lowered assessments. This, however, could be offset by large increases in departmental fees, franchise taxes, etc.
 It is not likely that the expendi- lures will increase much over the cur rent biennium, MT. Sims said, al though the last appropriations were more than $2,OO0,000 under the rev enues.
