Mr.. UNDERWOOD an
nounces that he will retire as
Senate leader for the Demo-
Gratis. What will Senator Lodge
do? Reelected by a thin mar
gin, he will be kept busy 'lead-
ing" Hiram johnson, Borsh,
Capper, La Toilette, and q few
others in the Senate. The
election, as Mark Sullivan
points out, Is a victory for
the radicals, and for a change
the Senate will be ruled, not
by Wall Street, but by the
Farm Bloc.
Some legislation shocking to
financial conservative minds"
may be expected.
MONSIEUR SKI, black prize
fighter from Senegal, via Paris,
became an acknowledged figure
of world importance when he
knocked out Carpenter. He
was to fight Joe Beckett, white
English champion, but the Brit
ish government forbids 1t. The
British Home Office officially
declares that "such contests,
between blacks and whites,
are against national interests"
That means, part of Brit
aims work is keeping many
black, yellow, and half black
people in their places. 1t is
necessary that black men should
look up to white men. They
cannot do that with the white
man lying at the black mans
feet, knocked out" In other
words, 1--WE may not be able
to beat you black gentlemen,
but we can forbid you to fight
white men," Why not stop
prize fighting, black and white?
Would that Also be a blow at
white civilization?
MR.. MELLON, ablest Secre-
tary of the Treasury in many
years, advocates a change in
immigration laws to bring in
the laborefs that every industry
needs. Labor should know that
It is labor especially that will
suffer by keeping labor out.
Skilled labor depends on raw
material and abundant helpers.
Without abundance of rough
labor, raw materials will BE-
lacking, industry will slow down,
and hard times will creep in.
Of all stupid measures de.
vised at a time when the coun-
try needs building up, the
drastic immigration law was the
stupidest.
MARION TALLEY, fifteen
years old, comes to New York
from Kansas City to show the
Metropolitan Opera House what
she can do. thanks to Otto
Kahn, who digs now for talent
as he once dug for money. Bv
the way. he knows how to find
both. The experts declare the
fifteen-year-old girls voice
amazing.
How much talent is there in
this wide land, how much genius,
If men would only hunt for II,
as they hunt for gold or oil?
AARON BURR and ALEX
ANDER HAMILTON started
banks in New York when bank
ers were not as quiet as they
are now. A little later Burr
killed Hamilton. The two banks
still live, united in one, called
The Bank of Manhattan, oldest
banking concern in the United
States, charter dated 1899.
IL the ghosts of Hamilton and
Burr could come back, these two
gentlemen would see their united
two banks issuing a one hundred
per cent stock dividend today.
Instead Of fighting, bankers
issue one hundred per cent
dividends. That's better for the
bankers.
CANCER is THE MENAC-
ING DISEASE of this nation.
tuberculosis can be fought with
food and rest. Cancer battles
science. Surgery saves in many
cases. wher the cancer is ex-
ternal, and at the beginning
x-rays help also. But nothing
Is sure.
President Harding. indorsing
"cancer week." renders public
service, hoping for "the dissipa-
ton of the mystery and reti-
cence concerning cancer among
its victims" That secrecy has
cost many lives. Neglect no
abnormal growth, no internal
rersistent pain. Tell your
Doctor. But don't be morbid
about IL. Ninety-nine times out
of every hundred the cancer" Is
Imaginary.
