The Odious Comparison.

THOSE fond of drawing comparisons may find
L employment in contrasting the national spirit
of the two peoples, French and German under
military occupation. In one it was displayed in
an overwhelming degree. In the other it was
found totally lacking.
When Prussia set military forces in France fol
lowing the treaty OF Frankfort Bismarck told
France the forces would stay there till every sou
of the indemnity was paid. Then came the dis
play of national spirit. France asked subscrip-
tions for a loan. Stung by the disgrace of for
cign troops on it's soil, France oversubscribed that
loan many times. The Prussian troops were liter
ally fired out Of France by national spirit.
What Il contrast today. France now occupies
the Ruhr till the indemnity is paid or some evil
dence given that an attempt is to be made to pay it.
Germany raises not one finger to attempt to
remove the enemy from her soil by that method.
Instead she whines and protests her weakness.
There is no appeal to national pride, nor is it be
cause the wealth of Germany is sequestered by the
wealthy outside Germany. So it was with some
of the French wealth in 72-but the owners of that
wealth at once made it available for the nation by
subscribing for the loan.

Make Efficiency the Test.

THEY ARE debating in the Irish parliament the
Il old question of reprisals, some of the members,
and those in the most responsible positions, in
sisting that only by the utmost severity in dealing
with the rebels can peace in the island be estab-
lished, and others declaring that this is the meth
cd England tried for so many years, with no bet
ter result than that of producing a continual re
volt.
The revolt, as n matter of fact, was not contin-
nous, and not for a good many years had England
answered assassination with the summary putting
10 death of prisoners convicted of offenses not
commonly held capital. 1t does seem to be true,
however, that the recent h~angings and s~hootings
in Jail by the Free State authorities have not cowed
the so-called irrrgulars or put an end to their fer
ocious activities.
: The one real vindication of reprisals In kind is
that they have prevented n repetition of the acts
at which they were aimed. and this the recent ex.
e]cutiOns have not accomplished.
That the question should be argued in the Irish
parliament is natural and commcndable, but the
horror which the followers of DcValera express
whenever one of their own number suffers the
penalty Of death is the very elimination of I'M
reasoning insOlCnCc. They shoot down other Irish
men without warning, and without the slightest
rompunctiCn. In comparison with what they have
done so many times the course Of the Free State
government in even It's sterneEt mood is gentle as
we'll as in full accord with both the law of Ireland
and Of nations.

was in the last one, policies advanced by him will
quite likely find the discard.
Although the prohibition question is one long
settled by constitutional amendment and much sup
Elementary enforcing law, it seems to crop up
within the Democratic party in the form of an is
sue, at very frequent intervals. Possibly the lack
of other issues may be crowding it to the front in
that party, and possibly the temporary political
success of several well-known wet advocates at
the recent elections, may be responsible for the
reappearancc of this question in serious discussion
tending toward the re-establishment of wines and
beer by some congressional act Of evasion of con
stitutional amendment.
The facts that wet candidates only have been
brought TO the forefront, and much wet propa.
ganda is going over the country at this particular
time from sources of Democratic origin may mean
one of two things. The Democratic party is re
viving the question to test its effect for political
purposes, or they have determined to make it an
issue and blame the Republican party with the
failure of enforcement.

s!fied, attention has drifted away
from some of the homely little points
of interest the student of folk lore
digs up.
The appealing part of 1t all is that
the student of folk lore finds his ma
terial Immediately under his nose and
does not have to construct a synthetic
web of story with a few unusual phe.
nomena for his groundwork. and a
big reel of conJectural reasoning
tackled to 1t TO arrive at his c~lassifi-
cation. He has his material thrown
at him every day. and he'has to dodge
pretty fast to keep out its way If he
does not want to recognize it.
Just n day or SO ago one of this
fast dying breed was down the street
and he heard a small child, much
engrossed in a game Of hide and seek,
reciting:
Eeny, Meeny. Miny. Mo,
Catch a niger by the toe,
If he hollers let him go.
Our friend went on his way, but the
blame thing would stay in his mind.
."Eo1y, Meeny. Miny No." said our
student to himself.

The Present Demand.

WHAT much of the world is requiring today is
" more real production work.
There is no theory that can take the place of
labor to get things done. No sophistry can make
Russian lands yield good crops if Russian peas.
ants will not till the soil. Nobody can squeeze
prosperity out of the coal mines when they work
only one in every three.
Mr.. Ford's dollar could earn him but n meagre
return if he kept it toiling only 1876 days in a year.
Cutting down hours of work means lifting the price
of everything. There can be no other result be-
cause more hands are needed to produce a given
quantity of any desired product.
Let the farmer work five instead Of twelve
hours a day, and your bread will at once treble
in price, and so will your meat and milk and vege.
tables. Those who preach for a wholesale reduc-
ton in hours of toll, preach for a wholesale in
crease in the price of all you buy. You cannot
escape it.

death from many a speeding motor
truck without giving It a glance. He
could easily have evaded h rushing
monster by darting back, but he pre-
.ferred to Escape 1t by leaping forward
like a young antelope and sprinting
all the way to the opposite sidewalk.
And he was making just the right
sprlngbok leap when
Alas! on the opposite sidewalk Har.
old saw three flappers that he knew.
and their faces were turned toward
him. In that instant the i've Harolds
came into fierce conflict. The inside
Harold wanted to continue in COM
mand of its artless and efficient ma
newer of '~sprintlng through the Cen
ter street traffic. but the outside
Harold wanted to be dignified in the
eyes of the flappers.
TIL fight was fought and finished
while fou could sna your fingers.
And the outside Harold won. Fear of
being undignifled or ridiculous over
came fear of the motortruck. Harold's
pace fa'tered. while he tried r'tifully
to assume his ibis lines and his
mincing walk. And then the flap
pers shr'eked and the truck driver
swore and Harold went down like a
tenpin.
Beneath his bandages and adhesive
plasters as he lies on his neat white
cot in the hospital, Harold is figuring
out over n over again how the
thing happened, and ON glimmer-
ing of an idea is coming to him about
the two Harolds together with n
bunch that, while the outside Harold
may radiate a whole lot of swanS
at a jazz tournament, the inside Har-
old is the real goods when it comes
to jaywalking across Center street.

Why Conceal Facts?

Upon one ground only can there be antagonism
- to the so-called "Truth, in-Fabrico bill now
before the congress. Its passage would make diff,
cult, or more difficult, the selling of cloth in which
cotton or shoddy had been employed in preference
to wool hitherto unused.
There has been some foolish and irritating talk
on the part of certain manufacturers and dealers
TO the effect that quality is improved by these aduI,
terants. If that were true, the buying public could
be convinced of 1t and glady would pay as much
or moro for the mixed goods as for those "all wool"
passage of laws compelling each package of canned
food to be stamped with the date when 1t was put
up. What buyers want, and all they have any right
to get, is exact knowledge of what they are buying.
Whether they mako good or poor use Of that knowl.
edge is their own concern, and they must pay for
their mistakes.

1t is safe to say quite a share of the population
did not get their ten pounds.
1t is true that raisin pie is on the bill of fare
and to an extent has been popularized. Still, that
fact does not explain the final marketing of so

decreased slightly in quantity, and
stoneware clay which decreased in
