Genoa, April 13. - (Ry Associated freSS) While rumors of a sensation al nature were flying thickly about Genoa conference circles today, most Of them promptly disavowed, the one fact that appeared to stand out in the somewhat clouded atmosphere was that neither the disarmament nor reparations question would be brought up for specific action against the op- position of France.

MIR. HARDING'S PATRIOTISM.

Back among his old friends and neighbors for
the first time since he became president Mr.. Hard
ing doubtless was tempted to confne his remarks in
his Fourth of July address at Marion to personal
"reminiscences but the lesson of the day dedicated
expressions of patriotism too plainly applicable
to live issues of the hour to be ignored
There note of pessmism in the presi
dents address, although it did contain solemn warn
ings. In the light of recent tragic occurrences which
have shocked and saddened all good citizens he
could not refrain from urging reaffrmatons of prac
teal loyalty to the constitution and its guarantees Of
the freedom OF the individual including the right to
sell his labor wherever he will without asking the
permission of anyone His denuncations OF class
group domination employing force was frank and
vigorous and breathed the spirit of the Declaration
of Independence well as of the constitution. my
own outstanding conviction after sixteen months in
the presidency is that the greatest traitor to his
country Is he who appeals to prejudice and inflames
passion when sober judgment and honest speech are
so necessary to establish tranquility and security
Mr.. Hardings plea for sincere support Of the pro-
hibtion amendment as the most practical form of
patriotism recalls Mr.. Hughes apt remark that the
real test of patriotism is the observance not Of laws
that we like, but of those that run counter to our
personal preferences.
There is a patriotism of peace we'll of
and solution OF the problems now confronting our
country places special responsibility at this time
on everyone who calls himself good American
citizen.

spending figure was 4e.7. There were 10000 more
deaths from accidentsin American registration area
In 1920 than would have occurred If the rate in
England had prevailed. Railroad and automobile
accidents and reckless use of firearms are chiefly
responsible for the greater number of fatalities in
this country. There are comparatively few grade
crossings In England and there few automobiles
compared with the number in use in America
Fatal accidents from firearms are eight times
as numerous here as in England. Firearms especially
revovers and pistols difficult to procure in Eng
land Here they can be bought as easily as any
other articles. except in or two states "A con-
science in relation to the accident problem" That is
what we need. When are we going to feel guilty as
people and in earnest to stop the slaughter?

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC CENTRAL PACIFIC
DIVORCE.

Ever since the United States supreme court
handed down it's decision unscramblng the Southern
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads. there has BEEN
Pacific and the San Francisco chamber of commerce
to leaa he public to believe that the decision is
detrimental to California. At any rate the mails
have been flooded with literature critcizing the ac
ton of the supreme court and attempting to point
out the dire results that would follow the separation
of the two systems.
1t now appears that the people Of California, or
some of Them at least, have started backfire, MS
complaint has been filed with the department of
Justice at Washington by producers and shippers OF
the Pacific coast against the alleged activities of the
Southern Pacific in endeavoring to create sentiment
and action against the decision Of the supreme court
ordering dissolution Of the partnership OF that road
with the Central Pacific"
Among other things the Southern Pacific has an
nounced its intention of appealing to the Interstate
Commerce Commission for permission to reunite the
two roads under the consolidation provisions of the
TRANSFORMATION act of 1920. This would have the eff
feet of undoing the work which the supreme court
mitted outside Of the interests directly concerned
that the decision has eliminated monopoly IN re-
straint OF trade" 1t is doubtful If the Interstate
Commerce Commission will yield to the plea OF the
Southern Pacific To do would, in our opinion
be wrong The highest tribunal in the country AFTER
an exhaustive review Of the and all the condl-
lions connected with the merger handed down
decision divorcing the Southern Pacific from the
Central Pacific "in public interest" and the courts
verdict should be permitted to stand.

THE PEOPLE ARE FOR THIS.

Brig. Gen. II. NJ. Lord the new budget director
NAV not be able to present his facts and figures with
the picturesque abandon of Charles G. Dawes but so
long as he has the will for the job and the whole
hearted support of the president the good work will
go
The heart OF the whole budget process rests in
the sincerity Of its operation and that implies that
the budget director speaks and acts with the fun
consent and approval of the executive. Even Gen.
eral Dawes would find his vocabulary and energy
alike ineffective If the bureaus and departments did
not know that his voice was the voice Of supreme
authority and that among them could go
behind the director to the president, without
jeopardy to himself
The savings may not be sensational. but they
exist and what is more the country is in full pos
session of the facts how the savings were effected
and where more savings possible and expected
and why it was possible to cut down the expendi-
lures For the first time the American public was
given the opportunity to know what character OF
service they were spending their money for. Prob
ABLY no government advance In many years has had
such substantial effect on the education of the
citizenship with its stimulus to interest in and under
standing of public business.
That General Lord has the support OF President
Harding goes the saying but what is vastly more
important he has the backing Of the entire American
public

Balkan brigands are improving on the methods
of Berlin and Dresden, and restaurant keepers

annexation of American bankrols which come
within their reach. cablegram tells Of the
holdup and robbery of party Of Illinois tour

perhaps it has some compensation In the ro-

And still flock abroad. The month of May
this year has seen all American passport records
broken with some $4,000 issued The total
Der for the year to date is about 1900. That
means that 1900 persons have started for Eu-
rope to spend average Of about $1,000 each.
So $77.000,000 of American money Is on its way
into European pockets already. and more than
likely the amount will be doubled in the course
of the season.
That is quite all right in so far as the in
dividual travellers are concerned. We may as
sumo that they by the money honestly.
Many of them have worked hard and saved
carefully for the tour. They will find in it much

The money market contributed
its share to the days more hopeful

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE

BY Howard B. CARTS.

One day, when Uncle Wiggily
was hopping through the woods.
on his way to take Aunt Lettie.
the nervous goat lady a piece of
red flannel pie which Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy had baked, tho
bunny uncle heard Curly and
Floppy Twistytail, the piggie
boys, talking and laughing in
the woods.
ut will be fine trick to play"
grunted Floppy.
Indeed it WILL" agreed Curly,
quirking his funny little twisted
tail. When Susie sees the Squirm-
err she'll yell like anything, and
then we'll rush up and save her,
and she'll think we're brave, like
an actor in the moving pictures"
Right you are" grunted Flop
by, pretending to talk like
pirate bold, who sailed the seas
to find some gold.
II wonder what sort of a
trick those piggie boys are up
to-" said Uncle Wiggily to him
self, as he hid his pink nose be-
hind a tree, so Curly and Flop
py would not see it twinkling.
They're going to scare Susie
Littletail. l think. And 1 must
stop them If l can. Let them
scare me. if they like" chuckled
the bunny. THAT is, if they can!
Goodness, I've been scared so
often by the Fuzzy Fox and the
Woozie Wolf, that it will take a
great deal to brighten me-"
AS Uncle Wiggily, hidden be-
hind the tree, watched Curly
and Floppy, the bunnI rabbit
saw the piggie boys take a piece
of wild grape vine, which was
like clothes-line, and tie it to
something deep down in a clump
of ferns.

Floppy to his brother.
Yes" agreed Curly. Wen
hide down behind this log. When
Susie comes along We'll pull the
grape vine, she'll think the
Squirmer is alive and she'll
scream like anything. Then Wen
rush out and say that Wen take
care of her."
ana maybe Sne ii give us some
of the candy that she's gone to
the store to buy" grunted Flop
py."
"Oh, no! I see what those pig
gle boys are trying to do,"
thought Uncle Wiggily. "They
saw Susie go to the store to
spend the penny gave her. When
she comes back they hope to
scare her into giving them some
OF her candy. But I'll play
trick myself"
Hidden behind his tree, Uncle
Wiggily waited to see what the
piggie boys would do. And,
crouched down behind their log,
Curly and Floppie waited for
Susie to come along. Pretty soon
there was a rustling in the dried
leaves and along came the little
rabbit girl.
The piggie boys pulled on the
long piece Of wild grape vine.
