WHIT IS PROPAGANDA?

&c Retail Dry Goods association Of
Sew York, IN a letter to Representa-
tive Fordney. sets forth that the So
called American valuation clause in
the Fordney tariff bill bids fair to in
crease greatly the cost of living: to
.niure gravely domestic trade at a
s-me when its revival is urgently
needed in the interest OF producers:
nd TO cripple IL not destroy Ameri-
San export trade. with consequences
most directly injurious to the manu-
1acturing interests urging adoption of
.e American valuation system.
The association, in refutfng Repre-
.-entative Fordney's claim that his
american valuation clause has en-
countered opposition propaganda"
holds that il the national alarm
over his proposal is TO be classed
as propaganda then the records
show that it is propa ganda shared in.

HEART and HOME PROBLEMS
Written for The State journal
BY ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I met a
young man some time ago whom 1
learned to like very well. am
ashamed to say I met him by flirting
with him. But he has always shown
me respect and he acted as if he
adored me. He said he was going to
ask my parents for me if 1 would
agree I told him I would have to
think it over.
This young man does not live in
this town and SO only saw him once
every two or three weeks. We had
an argument which did not amount
to anything I thought and then he
told me ne didn't think I would treat
him that way.
He wrote to me and q couple of
days later I answered and asked him
to forgive me. He wrote a rather
naughty letter saying he would.
also answered his in the same man
ner. to which I never received a reply.
I then met another whom thought
liked better than the first. I have
gone with him two weeks thinking I
was thru with the first. I am very
Jealous hearted and the second has
promised to go with no other girls
after he fills the dates he made before
he met me. He sent word to one girl
he couldn't fulfill his date and took
me on hayride in her place. Friday
he is going to take another girl to
dance to which he had asked hef be-
fore meeting me, but he has not even
suggested that he would be better
pleased if 1t were and it hurts. She's
better looking than I. Do you think
I have any ground to be jealous?
Since have had room to doubt the
second ones liking for me I have be-
gun to think of the first and wish
could see him. Could it be that he
had not received my letter and on
account of the dispute thinks did not
care to correspond with him I thought
of writing him a friendly letter. If 1
do not get reply shall be angry and
it will kill my liking for him. 1t is
only making me like him better to be
in doubt. Should I write to him?
Please advise me what to do as
do not know which boy I like better
and do not know how much either
one of them likes me.
BLUE EYES.
You have no ground to be jealous
because the second young man is keep
ing a date which he made before he
knew you. I think you are making a
mistake in letting him know that you
are Jealous and object to his going
with others. The more freedom you
give him in that respect, the better he
will like you.
Without a doubt the first young
man got your letter. He does not
care to reply or you would hear from
him To write to him would not make
him like you any better. Do not COM
promise yourself by doing such a
thing.

The Railway Age" calls attention
TO the fact that recent statistics of the
Interstate commerce commission show
that in the first three months of 1922
the number of railroad employees was
about $4,000 less than at the end Of
government control in 1920. and the
payroll about s6O.0OO.O0O a month
less Present indications are that
there viii be another big reduction of
9 voluntary nature. about July L
However. Z may. be that a large num-
Der of the $4,000 who have been let
out Will be glad TO get back. Any
how, the railroad managers do not
seem to be greatly worried over the
outlook.

JUST FOLKS
aDO YOU WANT a BITE7'
By EDGAR A. GUEST.

"DO YOU WANT A BITE7"
Two children standing on the street,
One with an apple good to eat,
One with a hungry, wistful eye
Watching the red-checked northern spy
The old, old scene, by childhood played
Since first the world for men was made,
Capped by that phrase Of rare delight;
do you want bite p
What is this picture all about2
One with joy and one without,
One with a luxury, proud and glad.
And one a hungry little lad
Made hungrfer by seeing there
The luscious fruit he longs to share
And then the invitation bright:
do you want bite ?"
I stood and watched them and I smiled
Here is a lesson from a child,
Thought /, and here is now portrayed
The way that friendships can be made:
The boy who owns the apple fair
Its Juicy charm is glad TO share,
And says. many a ErOwn-up might.
do you want a bites"
Go to the children. wrinkled sage
Learn from the youngsters. gray with age
Seldom does envy mar their play
Or bitter hatred spoil the day,
True friends are made. instead OF foes,
AS mouth to mouth the apple goes
This phrase full many a wrong can right:
do you want bite ~

Dorothy Dix TALKS
To a Bride
BY DOROTHY DTX
Wesia's HIshess Paid Woman writer.


This is the month eof weddings
never see bride marching up the
church aisle, in all her filmy finery.
with her face glorified with that look
of love, and rapture, and romance,
with that look of one whose dreams
have all come true, that a woman
wears but once in a lifetime, without
wanting to take her aside as soon as
the ceremony is over and say to her:
Dear little girl, you have come to
the parting of the ways. You are be-
ginning real life today. Up to now
you have had nothing on your mind
but your hair. You have had no re-
sponsibilities. Your parents have di-
rected your destiny, but today you take
your fate in your own hands, Hence
forth, you must play,the game off your
own bat, and whether you win or lose,
whether you are happy or miserable,
depends upon your own skill, and pep,
and courage, and craftsmanship
I know that when brides start out
on their honeymoon they carry excess
baggage in the way of advice. Never
theless, 1 cannot refrain from adding
a few words of counsel, and my first
tip is this:
study your man. Bring every par
ticle of intelligence that you possess,
every bit of woman's wit, and intu1-
ton, to, trying to ferret out the kinks
husband you have just acquired You
smile at this advice for you are per-
fectly sure that your John is an open
book to you, and that you understand
him as not even his mother does.
That is where you are mistaken, my
dear Marriage changes man as
completely as if he had changed the
color of his eyes and his skin. He is
no more the came, man to his wife
that he is to the business world, to
his family and friends, than If he was
a different person.
Therefore, begin your married life
by making a complete survey of your
husband, and charting out his little
peculiaritieS and weaknesses. Thus
shall you know where to erect your
Keep Off the Grass signs on his pet
prejudices, and weaknesses, and be
able to avoid treading on those sub
jects that bring about rows, and ar
guments and pickering.
My second tip is don't expect too
bride believes that she has married
a combination of Sir Galahad, and a
moving picture hero. and Solomon,
and Mr.. Rockefeller, and Job. There
fore she expects him to always be gall
liant and handsome, and wise and pa
tient, and to make plenty of money.
and she is frightfully disillusioned
when she sees him with a two days
stubble of beard on his face, and finds
out that he gets peeved about foolish
little things, and that he says nasty
things when dinner isn't on time.

cost of railroad operation. under pres
emit private control, is that the rail-
road stockholders also are large stock
holders in companies which furnish
supplies to the railroads. 1t is al
legged that the directors or stockhold-
ers of a railroad will commit that
company to pay excessively high prices
for supplies purchased from their
supply companies with the result that
the railroad property is kept impover-
ished while. the supply company,
which is not subject to the interstate
commerce commission of any other
regulation, makes huge profits. This
is but one OF such charges against
private management made by those
who favor more regulation or COM
plete government ownership.

LIBERTY AND PRIVILEGE.

Labor leaders are having much to
say about labor's being deprived of
its liberties by the United States SUI
preme court. What labor regards as
liberty is denominated special privi-
lege by persons outside the organiza-
ton.
The leaders say that the court can
not crush labor without endangering
the foundations of society. But it is
certain that labor cannot be permit
ted to enjoy exemption from the
operation of the statutes without en-
dangering the foundations of society.
81 mean that you can't and won't
fix the status OF labor by law" de-
clared Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation OF Labor. in
the course OF his testimony before the
Lockwood legislative committee in
New York.
Mr.. Gompers previously has said
substantially the same thing to this
committee. going into the matter in
more detail. At another session Of
the committee he admitted the abuses
of which. certain labor unions have
been guilty and conceded that these
abuses were to be deplored and re-
GREETED. But he declared that the law
could not and should not intervene to
protect the victims of wrongs com
planned OF. The labo1 unions-Mr
Gompers always means unions when
he speaks of laborAhe said, should be
permitted to put their own houses in
order without governmental interior
ence and pending their doing so the
public must patiently bear the wrongs
inflicted without attempt to redress
or cure them.
The members OF the labor unions
are men and women, citizens of this
republic, some of them at any rate,
and supposedly no different from
other citizens. But, according to the
GOmpers school of thought. the fact
that these citizens have banded
themselves together and been char
tered by the American Federation of
Labor endOws them with rights and
privileges that are beyond the juris-
diction of the law and renders them
immune to any measures society
might take to protect itself.
Consistent with Mr.. Gompers's
claim that society should not and can
not protect it elf against the abuses
OF labor organizations is his asserted
position that such organizations
should dictate the politics and the
legislation of the nation and that
members of legislative bodies who
presume to act according to the
wishes of a majority or to do what
they may believe may be best for the
majority should be ousted from pub
lie life.
Such is the Gompers plan, but it is
not the American plan. Under the
latter plan all citizens are equal be-
fore the law.
Membership in no organization.
whether labor union. a secret So
ciety or a fat mans club, says the
Portland Express. allows any citizen
or endows him with any special priv
ileges, under our theory of govern
ment or accordir to the theory of
any free government.

The existing situation at Washing
ton as regards what majority leaders
in congress profess to believe to be
the most important meas res before
that body appears to be about as fol-
lows: Bonus legislation must wait on
the ship subsidy and the ship subsidy
must await tariff ction. AS a conse-
quence the probability that any of
these measures will be enacted into
law at the present session seems to be
almost nil. For all this the people
should be devoutly thankful.

The chief OF finance of the war de-
partment has completed a table of es-
Inmates showing the operation Nof the
proposed Henry Ford lease for the
Muscle Shoals. Ala. plant. which, with
some modification. the house COM
mittee on military affairs has
decided to recommend for ac-
ceptance. Commenting on the pro
posal the National Republican
says; IN the hundred years period

ment viii be s2.O9s.417,2Os, the outgo

eminent will be more than $500, OoO,-
600. which will go to Henry Ford.
The anxiety Of some people to give
Henry Ford some more of the peo-
pies money is difficult to explain.
There are plenty of people in the
country who need six hundred million
dollars more than Henry does. If
congress feels it is necessary to throw
that much more cash to the birds.
why not at least pass it around a bit?"

Judge John C Pollock OF the fed
cral district court has held that the
Kansas public utilities commission
cannot control the action OF Kansas
Natural Gas company. This is self
evident and hardly needed the dictum
OF the court. The commission has
been trying to control the actions of
the Kansas Natural for many years
and has accomplished nothing except
advances in the price OF gas to the
CONSUMES.

Arthur E. Stilwe1 is reported as
saying that his railroad building.
amounting to 5000 miles has been
done under direction OF the spirits.
But it looks as tho in connection with
the Orient. they had. in the language
OF the street. given him a bum steer"
They also failed him when they did
not tell him how TO retain possession
of the properties.
