NOW MY IDEA is THIS!

duce and distribute the things which are
TO supply the needs. Of mankind.
The EDUCATORS should further understand
clearly that business men and women are q
part OF our electorate, majority element In
our national life, and they are human beings
with minds and souls just like those Of the
members Of the learned professions, and that
and beyond the daily grind of performing
duties.
Have Same Social Rights
=, Those men and women who choose, for
tneir own reasons, to enter business life
ratner than one Of the professions have In
tnelr youth the same social rights and the
same human inheritance as those who prefer
y a professional career. The community,
man or young woman who elects to follow
business career the same responsibility to
develop their faculties, to arouse dormant
sentiment .G and to awaken the souls which
tney possess in common with their profes.
sionaiIy inclined brothers and sisters,
Nearly every big business house IN the
ESountry contains inen and women who are
nVlng examples of the truth of this state.

apiiity to achieve and to make the most of

pay the bonus VIII have to be found. On
this occasion the President was explicit,
with a Recommendation which none Of the
leaders OF the bonus movement has had the
courage to propose. He informed Congress
that the only way to special bonus revenues
lies through special sales tax, and that
II the House and the Senate have not the
courage to approve q sales tax they will
have to postpone the bonus scheme.
This puts tho responsibility for the
soldier bonus where It ought to be-in the
Congress that has deliberately encouraged
the bonus agitation.
What will the folks at home say to the
favorite sons who return to seek new political
favors after having put the burden Of "A
sales tax on their people7 One may imagine
what they will say. But one may know
what the favorite sons will say II the thing
goes through. They will blame 1t on Hard.
ing.
Everything is up to Harding nowadays.
That is because Congress- Is for the moment
a bit off its head. 1t will be right enough
presently, when the elections are over. But
1t is up to the President and his Cabinet to
keep 1t from doing damage in the meantime:
That is something that the people ought to
keep in mind during the debates Of the
present session.

NO LAW CAN DOT

THE President has doubtless acted on the
i advice of Secretary Hoover in rejecting
the suggestion of Senator King that ma
tional housing conference be called in
Washington.
He admits that he does not know Of any
legislative remedy for a shortage Of houses,
and he says with truth that under normal
conditions, when building operations may
be safely pursued, there is seldom any lack
Of houses.
The calmness with which he speaks of the
conditions that arise when it is not safe to
engage In building is reassuring. Such a
situation existed for many months when
prices were at their peak, Yet there was
much excitement and much talk about leg!s-
lattve Interference to compel the erection of
more houses. The trouble was economic
snd 1t had to be endured until conditions
changed.
Secretary Hoover, whose statement Is
given out along with the Presidents letter
to Senator King, thinks some good might be
accomplished, not by a general housing con-
ference. but by conference to consider
ways of mobilzng capital for home building
Such capital Is in savings banks, insurance
companies and building and loan associa-
tions. Some sort OF n concerted movement
to provide cheaper money for home owners
might accomplish good results And the
money would be used in the different parts
Of the country to meet the peculiar and
varying needs of the different sections.
Apparently neither the President nor the
Secretary believes that there il nation.

material to jack up prices and make ille-
gitimate profits, and that, other thing, being

they are eouged and jobbed BY peculiarly
ruthless lot of landlords. Why, then,
shouldn't some one have had the foresight to
arrange bout to finish between Mr..
Dempsey and Mayor Hylan? And why,
after that, shouldn't there have been an.
other fight between Mr.. Dempsey and the
man who writes the music that you hear
oftenest in the Broadway restaurants7
When the cheering was DER the heavyweight
champion of the world might be permitted
to toy with n landlord or two, and after that
he could start on a tour Of useful work
throughout the country.
We will cheerfully name half a dozen
more or less eminent persons who could be
matched against the Big One In Philadel.
phia. Hoover is right when he observes that
we make sorry uses Of the country's re.
sources. Obviously 1t is foolish to let prize
fighters waste their time hitting each other
when there are innumerable people about
who would be better for good drubbing.

THE CLOUDS OVER ERIN

IN THE clearer light Of detailed news It
i appears that Ireland's new troubles will
subside as quickly as they began. The
British Cabinet, bombarded by threats from
the South and appeals from the North, has
manifested admirable restraint in n new
crisis which for a few hours seemed to
threaten the stability Of the Irish Free State
and the treaties upon which 1t is founded.
It is announced that the withdrawal Of
British troops from Ireland will be con-
tinued. This is because the source Of the
trouble has proved to be in Ulster, where in.
temperate police arrested and held an equally
incorporate group of the Sim Fein who
were found without credentials in the ter.
ritory controlled from Belfast.
After that incident there was rioting
which spread over large area. But in one
night roaming sunmen killed five Sinn Fein
sympathisers in Belfast alone, though they
were people who had had no part In the
disturbances. Citizens Of the North held in
the South and citizens Of the South held in
the North will be released under agree.
ments reached through formal discussions.
Neither Craig nor Collins was in any way
responsible for the disorders, and it Is folly
to suppose that statesmen either in London
or Belfast or Dublin would permit few
rioters to undo all the work already accom-.
plshed for an Irish peace.
Today a few of the die-hards in the
British Cabinet-they arc a small minority
will endeavor to reopen the Irish question
with a demand for guarantees from Dublin
to insure against further outbreaks. 1t is
unlikely that they will have any measure Of
success. The danger of civil war is averted.
And the great majority of the Cabinet will
not welcome any move to impede the work
Of peace which a majority in Ulster and in
Dublin alike are pushing against inevitable
hut relatively unimnnrtant obstacles.

PUBLIC DISCUSSION

I'D EASONS for tagging Senator Ken
: ~ yon's Coal Code as a farmers bloc
measure" breathes q voice which is sup
posed to be devoted to the work of general
criticism in this too uncritical community,
"are not apparent. The farmers do not
burn any more coal than any other class of
citizens While this sort of thing passes
Is public discussion, it Is not strange that
people find it difficult to know whether the
country is heading to the dogs or toward
the millennium.
Reasons for tagging Senator Kenyon's
Coal Code as farmers bloc measure are
apparent to any one who doesn't happen to
have reached maturity with n kindergarten
mind. Mr.. Kenyon, who was chairman Of
Senate committee which recently made a
general survey Of the soft coal industry,
has recommended a series of reforms which
he believes must be brought about through
the application Of limited Government con-
troll. Labor unions believe as Mr.. Kenyon
does. And Mr.. Kenyon very shrewdly
seeks the support of the farmers bloc in an
4 e&Crt to learn by experiment whether the
farmers arc in earnest when they express q
desire to cooperate with labor in cam
paign for radical economic readjustments.
Mr.. Kenyon will probably find that the
farmers say q great deal more than they
mean. There are points at which the views
Of farmers leaders diverge sharply from the
views Of industrial labor. Farmers. for ex-
ample, are opposed to the prospect of an
industrial labor oligarchy in the East. and
labor has good many reasons for fearing
higher costs of living which a monopoly Of
crops might easily lead to.
Mr.. Kenyon's Coal Code was tagged MS n
farmers bloc measure in order that those
behind it might learn how much faith the
I. agriculturist of the Middle West puts in the
doctrines formulated by labor leaders in the
industrial East.
