many more or less good natured jests and queries as to what Mi. Olson has l been doing at home while she was out on the hustings.
 l According 10 all reports from Min- nesota the jibes have come aliks from the press and platform. but Mrs. Oleson has come smiling through them all, and Mir. Oleson Is not per | turbed.
 One of the influential newspaper editors of the state--rcpubiican of course-raised the question recently as 10 what Mir. Oleson would do in l Washington if Mrs. Oleson should by any chance be elected senator. He wanted to know, for instance, if at a l White House reception Mir. Oleson would take his place in line with the senator's wives, and if the President would address the invitation to Sen otor Oleson and husband.n The ques- | tion also has heen raised as to whether MT. Oleson would be eligi- ble to membership in the Women's S 1 Congressional club and if he would attend the luneheons of the Senate wives. in which Mrs. Harding, who retains her old membership, often joins?
 Kellogg Rests Easily
 Senator Kellogg quietly assures us, however, that none of these, vexing questions will ever arise in Washing ton so far as the coming senatorial contest in Minnesota is concerned. He regards Mrs. Oleson as most wor- thy foe. but he expects to defeat her at the November polls by some hun dreds of thousands of votes.
 As for Mir. Oleson he does not seem In the least perturbed He is super intendent of schools at Cloquette, Minn., and says his duties require vir- tually all of his time. Mrs. Oleson says if elected she will bring Mir Oleson to Washington as her secre- tary.
 And probably to keep house for her on the side" one republican paper added rather peevishly.

 Lloyd Georges Mistake
 No one more than Lloyd George recognizes that he Is gravely respon- sible for the power he gave to France to dictate the policy during and After the war It suited his domestic polit- teal purposes to be popular In France. He paid an extravagant price for this luxury. He now realizes that the tide of public opinion is turning and that nothing but drastic re- versal of French opinion and policy can prevent a serious rupture. He has become instead of the hero Of France tn particular target for the animoslties of the French news papers.

The feeling on the subject has been strengthened not alone by a sense of the calamitous policy upon which France has embarked but by grow ing knowledge of the origin of the war and the share which the Poin- care policy had In it.

France Organized Ruin
 England, living by external com merce. finds her trade perishing under the ruin organized by France. Twenty per cent of our working population is unemployed, living by doles, costing the nation five hum dred million dollars annually. The demoralizing effect of this vast out door relief is alarming. Taxation is crushing. There is no sign of re- covery
 It is being realized that there is no prospect of recovery while French military dictatorship of Europe strangles all activities. The Wash inEton conference was the first real awakening. The public here was shocked by the revelation of the as- founding French submarine aims. Genoa increased this disquiet. The silence as to the meaning and the facts of the French policy of the last three years is breaking down. The enormous military dominance of France no longer Is ignored. It is realized that there is no parallel that can be drawn since Napoleon tram pied over Europe. Her armies are undiminished Her aerial force Is nearly 20 times in excess of that of England. Her devastated regions still are unrestored, Germa &Albor having been refused. but the construction of her strategic railways in northern France Is colossal Her black troops are settled on the Rhine and the employment of the enormous mill- tary reserve of Africa to mf<1e good the declining French population now is frankly accepted as a French military policy.

Warren Harding, the editor. rather than Warren Harding, the Presideat MT. Harding was led to make the remarks unquestionably by the thought of what he would do if he " ere Washington correspondent to cay instead of being the chief ma E. istrate of the nation. The rema. lss were attributed. however. to his sen sitiyeness over the criticisms in Congress of certain members of his cabinet.
