But to their surprise they again
faced the Second Marine Division,
along with the First Division of
Regulars. So after leaving Bel

Division was sent to Paris to Par
ade at what is known in Paris as
Joan of Arch Day.. the same as
our Fourth of July here. So you

By John P. Medbury.

BY John P. Medbury.
"HE hardest thing in the world
for some people to do is to
get out of bed early in the
morning. A lot of them overcome
this by staying up all night.
One guy used to turn his bed
down, set the alarm clock, put the
cat out and then keep walking
around the block until daylight.
He even tied his eyelids back to
keep from going to sleep.
He was getting along fine until he
got q job as night Waterman and
then it was impossible to stay
awake.
One dame used to sleep all the
time, but finally contracted insom-
mia by keeping company with a
milkman.
A New York man had such q
hard job getting out of bed at Z
q. N. that he hired two guys to get
up for him every morning.
He bought an alarm clock, but he
let them use 1t.
He paid one fellow to set it and
the other fellow to shut it off.
OF course one guy could have
done both jobs. but the alarm clock
listeners union made him hire a
helper.
It's easy to wake up i'm the morn
ing If you wash your face with cold
water, but most people are too lazy
to take their faces into. the bath.
room.
And it's a cinch you can't get
anybody, else to carry it in there
for you.
One guy slept with his head in
the washbowl all night, and then
when he woke up i'm the morning
he was too tired to turn the
water on.
Another guy did turn it on but
he was too fatigued to turn it off
and when he woke. up he found
out that he had drowned.
The coroner's jury brought in a
verdict Of water ON the mind"
Exercises are also good for wax

At the same time it constitutes a new chal- lenge to the States to meet the responsibilities that come with the possession of certain rights. If tle States will not permit the Federal Gov ernment to suppress lynching, it becomes more ercumbent upon them than ever before to do so with their own authority, The only excuse for keeping the Federal Government out of this realm is that it is within the province of the States themselves to handle lynching cases. To be consistent, they should now see that they do handle them.
 The Democratic filbuster in Congress gives the States another trial at expressing lynch ing. If they can succeed at it, well and good. Every one who believes in States rights would much prefer to see the States act against the lynchers, if they will act in a prompt and eff fective way. If not, there will be nothing left but Interference from the Federal Government
 We shall see what the States do. If they do not improve the record they have made in re- cent years, it will take more than parliament ary play in Congress to prevent the passage of Federal anti-lynching bill. It is now up to the States.

sEAMEN's SHARE UP 143 PER CENT

"While the total share of the value product of the industry received by operators and in vestors was increasing from $34 ,O00 in 1909 to S523O,OOO in 1919 the total share of inc value product paid to employees in the form of wages and salaries was jumping from SITS, 1000 to $421 ,200,0OO,' declares the National Bureau of Economic Research, dis interested scientific collector of economic statistics This is good evidence that labor profits by an American Merchant Marine, whatever our foreign born labor leaders may say about it. According to the bureau the number of men actually at work on the yes se1s of the American Merchant Marine in creased from 149200 in 1909 to 2222OO in 1913. while the estimated average annual earn ines of all employees on vessels of the Merchant Marine rose from $901 to 1909 to $2,132 in 191A. or 250 per cent. That is the answer to the statement of the dry-landcrs that we do net pay our seamen any moro than the B1ltlSA pay theirs The 1919 average for all our marine employees is almost equal to that of the chief officers of foreign lines.

RESPONSIBILITY ON THE STATES

Through the efforts of Southern Democrats, the passage of the Dyer anti-lynching bill has been made virtually impossible at this session of Congress- The Federal Government will not be given an opportunity to aid in the suppression of the crime of lynching, at this tinle
 It is not to be presumed for minute that the great majority of Southern Democrats who opposed the bill are in sympathy with lynch ing Their opposition was based on political reasons-their hostility to the proposition of the Federal Government invading further the powers of the States. Prevention of the pass age of the bill is victory for States rights.

PAY CHECK AND HARVEST RECEIPTS

According to statistics compiled by officials of the Department of Agriculture, the pur- chasing power of the farmer is now only two per cent above the 1921 level. That is to sav. what the farmer has to sell will buy only two per cent more than it would in 1921. The reason for this is p1ain--the prices of things the farmer must buy have not come down from war prices in proportion to the decline in prices of what the farmer sells. It was the recent boast of MT. Gompers that the wages paid to union labor had declined less than five per cent from wartime peaks. The farm or is getting many times five per cent less for his labor than he got during the war. Ii the leaders of the new Farm-Labor Party can work out some plan to equalize the incomes o1 farmers and city laborers, the agricultural community ought to be duly thankful.
