More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

Yesterday, To-day and Forever
We learn from old inscriptions
Unearthed beside the Nile
That even the Egyptians
Were pretty strong for style.
Upon the debutanty,
Who graced King Cheops'
court,
The waists were thin and scanty,
And petticoats were short.
In Pharaoh's opinion
Such sketchy skirts were
wrong,
And during his dominion
The ladies wore 'em long.
They've found papyrus pages
Depicting women's clothes,
AS, through the changing ages,
A controversy rose
How maidens briefly bodiced,
In Cleopatra's reign,
Were thought to be immodest
And looked on with disdain,
Although it was not shocking
For wives of Rameses
To show the silken stocking
About their dimpled knees.
We don't condemn the preachers
Who seek with scant success
To tell young lovely creatures
The way they ought to dress.
But if since history's morning
AS lately it appears
This we'll intended warning
Has fallen on deaf ears,
We venture the conjecture
That they had best forbear
To storm and rage and lecture
They won't get anywhere!

When Power Passes.

The esteemed Boston Transcript, and the
equally revered New York Times, were deeply
panied when the senate passed the bill amending
the Federal Reserve act. Each OF these grea,
newspapers is panied TO note the monster OF Sec
iionasm and class government, rearing It's hor-
rid head. once more rampant in America. The
Transcript particularly notes that, according to
the vote, New England and New York are cut
from the rest OF the country, and are become
outsiders"
All this because an imposing majority OF the
senators OF the United States voted that |, would
not be improper for the president TO appoint a
dirt farmer to the board. and prepared the way
for such appointment, by adding one more to
the number eomposvg the board. The Tran
script is comforted by the thought that such
farmer may be as conservative as any banker on
the board, bu, is apprehensive because OF the
class or sectional control implied by the action
What really als both the editors referred TO
is that the great empire on this side OF the
Aleghanies has attained mature stature and is
able to do something for itself besides pay tribute
to industrial New England and New York So
long as the handle Of the spoon was controlled
around Boston, while folks out west took any
medicine it might contain, the situation was all
right from New England's point Of view. But
the scene has changed, power has passed over the
range, and instead Of resting along the coast line
from Bangor to Sandy Hook, it is now fairly
well settled over the Mississippi valley.
This power will not be used to the detriment
of any section of the country, but if there is
any advantage in possessing it, the middle west
proposes to share in that advantage This is
both producing and consuming region; we
sell to New England, and we buy from them,
and we expect to deal with them as equals, citi-
zens OF one country, and not as poor relations
or inhabitants of another quarter of the earth.
And, as The Bee already has stated, there is no
good reason why the finances Of the country
should be the exclusive care of the bankers.

Pope's Simple Life.

Details Of the daily life Of Pope Benedict
XIV, published after his death, add his name to
that long list OF successful men who have
achieved great things while pursuing personal
regime best described by single word-sin1-
plicity. The daily routine Of Pope Benedict was
almost rigorous in its simplicity. His diet was
light, his recreation was confined mostly to walks
in the gardens Of the Vatican, his relaxations
were conversations with his fellow clergy and
certain laymen, and with it all he had the
strength for vast amount OF work.
1t is story grown almost common because
Of its frequent reiteration in the review of the
lives of notable men. Men great in scholarship,
in industry and even in politics have found sue
cess not by spectacular means for the most part
and certainly not by excuses Of pleasure. SIM
pie life has been the solid foundation for steady

Are We Governed Too Muchp

a great hullabaloo is heard about the rcgula-

by the law-enforcing machinery Let us look
into the matter.
In the good old days it was not an uncom-
mon thing to run across bushel measure that
held only little over three pecks. Many a
pound package was disposed of the contents
OF which weighed only thirteen ounces Pint
measures were found that held but three gls,
and gallons were correspondingly short. Coun-
ter scales had nice packages Of lead foil under
the pan, and all sorts OF suberfuges were worked
in this fashion. Spices were found to consist
largely OF adulterants, such ground cocoanut
shells masquerading as pepper, and even so
common and cheap article of food as table
salt was vitiated by cheaper substance. Sugar
contained starch and terra alba, and so it went
through all the list

loaded diseased animals on them, or through

dumping ground for all sorts Of inferior or
deleterious stuff and the people suffered and
rebeed. Housewives clamored for protection
against INSCRIPTIONS and dishonest dealers,
farmers rose up against the frauds practiced on
them, and rules and regulations were made to
control the dealings between man and man, the
law compelling honesty far as possible. Un-
fortunately no law is self-enforcing Nebraskans
deliberately voted in favor of prohibition, and
then as deliberately set about to nullify the law
they had created Boards and inspectors are not
only necessary, but are kept constantly en-
poyed in trying to protect the people.
II it is desirable to go back to the dear old
times, when every form of cheating was prac-
ticed and the swndlers prospered, all that is
needed is the enactment of an omnibus measure
to repeal all the laws that are designed to pro-
tect the public against fraud, malpractice and
deceit, and restore the harsh rule Of "caveat
cmptor'-let the buyer beware. Short of that
there must be machinery to enforce the law If
we are governed too much it is our own fault.

Politics in the Farm Conference.

While Governor Parker of Louisiana is prais-
ing President Harding and Secretary Wallace
for abstanug from politics in selecting dele
gates to the farm conference in progress
at Washington, Delegate Wannanlaker of South
Carolina is doing his utmost TO give the gather
ing partisan bias. This astute and perspcacous
individual, who halls from section of the coun-
try where politics as such do not exist, sees i'll
the conference clever scheme for breaking
down the influence of the farm bloc in congress.
His disclosure is timely, and now that he has
warned not only his codelegates and the menl-
bcrs Of congress concerned, but the country
and world as we'll, we may expect to see the
nefarious Vaccinations Of Warren G. Harding
brought to naught. 1t is pitiful, though, to see
men, picked as representative of their commune
ties and as having at heart the true interest Of
the entire country, commit themselves to such
pettiness The connection between the farm
bloc and the farmer conference is too far
fetched Nothing the president has said or done;
either when senator or since he has been pres-
dent warrants ascribing to him any Interior mo-
tive in his effort to restore prosperity to the
farm. He is as patriotic and devoted to the
country he serves as anyone else in the country,
and he knows that no class can permanently
prosper at the expense OF another. 1t is share
and share alike, and when depression hits the
farmer, it hits everybody. However, it is not
unsafe to assume that Mr.. Wannamaker is a
democrat, and as such tinctured with that pc
cuiar quality that leads to suspicion OF anything
a republican president may or may not do.

What Really Ais India.

Lord Northcliffc has touched exactly on the
cause of the unrest in India. Laying aside as
negligible the so-called Hindu aspirations for
self-determination, he moves at once to the Mo
hammedan element. This he finds to be for the
first time in history allied with the Hindu,
and for the reason that it is opposed to Chris
tian presence in Asia Minor. Back Of it all lies a
movement that has for its purpose the restora-
ton of the Turk in control of all he forfeited
during the war.
Resting the agitation on the necessity of
Mussulman control Of the three holy cities,
Mecca, Medina and Bagdad, the clever politicians
of the caliphate at once extend that to include
the revival of the broken down Turkish empire,
with political as we'll as religious domination
over Palestine, Syria, Smyrna and Armenia.
Agtators who are going about in America, max
ing great effort to enlist casual sympathy for
the Indian uprising are at great pains to conceal
the Interior motive that is underneath the effort.
Restore the Turk to the position he held prior
to 1914 and we will quickly see the dissolution
of the partnership he now holds with the Hindu.
Remove British influence from India, and we
will soon note the disappearance of all Chris
tianity has been able to do in that land for the
amelioraton OF the condition under which the
masses live.
To revive the control of the Turk in Asia
Minor, and to again give over the millions of
India to the mercies of native rulers and priests
NAV seem attractive to the minimizing, who
translate self-determination into terms that are
intolerable to advancing civilization, but such
step will certainly add to the confusion in which
the world Weters.

Creating Wealth by Spending.

After the civil war this country entered upon
period Of tremendous expansion of railroads
and industries, and in doing this increased its
wealth so rapidly as TO be able to pay of its
debt far in advance Of what would have been
possible under any niggardly system Of with
holding money from wise expenditures Of that
kind. We can today better afford to create
wealth by large construction undertakings than
we can afford to skin down to the narrow
est possible point in order to save. There is
withholding that leads to poverty; there is a
wise expenditure that leads to prosperity. The
building Of the Nicaraguan canal, the develop
ment Of Muscle Shoals, making the Tennessee
river available for transportation, the improve
ment Of the ST. Lawrence as proposed giving the
west a direct water route to the ocean--would
all, we believe, come under the head Of wise ex-
pendtures, viewed from every possible angle

Personal Liability
for Fire
From Safeguarding America Against


In a number of American cities
there are now statutes providing for
personal liability for fire, and the
movement is one that appears to be
slowly but surely gathering head
way. State Fire Marshal John G..
Gambler of Illinois voiced an opinion
upon this subject in addressing
convention of firemen which is we'll
worth reprinting. He said:
"As for personal liability statute,
believe it will be of more impor-
lance in reducing fires than any
single piece of legislation. 1t is
time we quit plying people who
have fires because of their own care
lessness. The only way to make peo-
pie feel personally responsible as to
fires is to hold them liable by law.

the medium of insurance, or an un-
