HoNoRs ARE EVEN !,

Ma. cLEMENcEAu is siagularly unfortunate
lV1 in some of his illusions. Speaking in
Memorial Continental Hall in Washington, the ma
ional headquarters Of the Daughters Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, he reminded his audience that
France had come to the aid of America in 1875.
we answered your cal"9 said he, "Now are you
going to answer ours?" I y,
Apparently the distinguished Frenchman thinks
the United States still owes moral debt to France
on account of what his country did for us in the
Revolution. In his query he gave no credit for
what we did in the World War, but 1t has been
the notion Of most Of US that what we did in 1918
repaid our obligation to France about twenty times
In the money we spent on the war, the number
of soldiers we semitic France and the number Of
American lives lost in the struggle, We exceeded
many times over the aid extended by France in
the Revolution.
Moreover, the United States preserved the indie
pendence of France in 1918 just as surely as
France hastened the independence Of America in
1875. 1t is apparent that both the moral and
material debt we owed to France was completely
wiped out in 1918.

y pretended spokesman for the agricultural inter-
ests has been declaring in addresses In tho West
that legislation favorable to the farmers enacted
In the past two years, has been secured in face Of
the opposition of President Harding. Nothing
could be further from the truth.
While he was senator, Mr.. Harding was a con-
sIstept advocate Of legislation that would tend
10 promote the welfare of agricultural production.

Tor the Presidency. he espoused the cause Of this

gress passed, over the veto OF President Wilson,
the act feyiying the War Finance Corporation, the
psrEcqlar purpose of which was to provide fnan-
dad LAID in developing foreign markets for agri-
euitaTal products. The Wilson administration re-
fused to act for that purpose. Immediately upon
his inauguration President Harding put the War
Finance Corporation into active and effective
Operation and it has done more than any other one

He didn't like his father and he didn't like his mother,
He couldn't stand his sister loahed his eder brother
He thought his paymaes vulgar his neighbo stupid
Who lived by sily standards and by purtanic rules.
He felt the whole community chain and bind him.
And as soon as he was old enough he left 1t all behind HIM
He left that simple village which he had soundy hated
And thought that in the city he would appreciated
So IN the great METROPOLIS he started his careerIng
At all the narrowminded folks among meandeed;
There wasn't seemed to tit his standard
He talked about something which called Ths Greater Freedom
But people scanned too occupied follow where
He called the crowd inoeranhe spoke some aspery
And yet he wouldn't toleraeEor view With any charity

Alas he cried this narrow world is out Of step with
