SUPPLY AND BEDAMNED

Every now and then some surprise comes along to upset theories ac- cepted as facts. Take, for example, the theory that supply and demand regulate the price of commodity, which has from time immemoriaI been the last line of defense of theoretical economists. It remained for sugar manufacturers to tax, perhaps this time too severely, the truth of this theory by jumping the price of that commodity from six cents a pound to 10 cents at a time when the Gov ernment was reporting a surplus of sugar rather than a shortage Of course, it is agreed that manipulation IS largely to blame, but the question IS, How Is 1t to be stopped? As in many a Government investigation re- port in the past, there probably will be confrmatiop in this instance of the fact that the price went up, but the fact that such possibility exists and the question of what ought to be done about it probably will be left open for further investigation Christian Science Monitor

Do you remember how the same politicians pointed to the quota tions of Washington and Jeffer- son, warning us to Beware of Foreign Entanglements p?
 And after leading him along the "Stay-Out-of-E Europe" Avenue for four years, the politician sud- denly switches around, pulling the voters arm out at the shoulder socket and starts back up the road in the opposite direction?
 Well, this is what is being done by the present agitation for the World Court If the politicians do not disagree then the people will be led Ill this reverse direction until after 1924 when we may ex- pect to have the other arm pulled out by another right about turn
 The point Is not that the World Court Is anything but good, but that politicians are hypocritical and that nobody. can be sure they will face tomorrow in the same dlrec- ton they face today
 Turn about is fair play in politics

SOVIET "GOOD FAITH"
Violations of Trade Agreements Unsuccessfuly
 Denied by Russian Officials.
By WILLIAM ENGLISH MAILING.

notes of the Polish government, pub lished to the world, pointed out in detail the Soviets' violence of their treaty engagements.
 On March IS, 1922, the Polish government, in a public statement, | pointed out that the so-called Soviet government had been "evading it's engagements ln a constant and sys- tematic manner * in spite of the year elapsed since the moment Of the conclusion of the treaty of Riga, not single one of the obligations result ing from this treaty has to this day been lived up to-
 The Soviet government also has a | trade agreement with Czecho-Slovak- ia. The violations of this agreement l by the Soviet representative in | Prague, one Mostovenko, were SO open and outrageous that the prime minister of Czecho- -Slovakia, Benes, demanded and secured his recall :: l An example of the hostile propa- ganda openly carried on against the l Czecho-Slovakia governmental vio- lation of treaty clauses-by this typi- 1 cal Soviet ambassador" is the fol- lowing, published by him under his own name in the German paper Die 1 Wirtschaft'
 "The Czecho-Slovakian govern ment * keeps the public in un- certainty about the actual unsatisfac- tory state of relations between the two countries" and points to the commercial agreement to satisfy the public and parliament, but tries to de prive 1t of legal authority. Un- der such conditions the reserve and
 mistrust of the Soviet government to- wards ,Czecho oSlovakia is quite nat ural."
 Bad Faith Charged by American
 Capitalists.
 In each and every one of the i'm portant negotiations for concession: the Soviets have carried on with pri vate capitalists, these capitalists have ended by pointing out the Soviet bac faith. Important examples are the Englishman Urquhart and the Amer ican Jennings, both of whom spen
 months in Soviet Russia and were selected by the Soviets themselves a: the leading opponents of British ane American capital, with whom they expected to do business.

unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That, in humble submis-
sion to the Divine Will, we share IN
the Nations sorrow over the death of
the great and good Warren Gamaliel
Harding, twenty-ninth President of
these United States. While in the dis
charge of the arduous duties of his
high office, and in the fulfllment of
a mission of peace and good will, it
pleased God to call him to the glori-
GUS reward that awaits the faithful
servant. He has passed from the
scene of life's activities. His work is
done. But he lives in the hearts of
his fellow countrymen. His splendid
endeavors from boyhOod to manhaad,
his undying love for his native land,
his unselfish devotion to the highest
and best interests of the Nation, his
enlightened craftsmanship and his
genial, kindly personality, have left
an impress upon our country that
will endure forever. He attained sue
cess because he labored increasingly.
He was a great man, because he was
a good man. He was a great President
because he was brave, Vigilant and pa
triotic. His nobility of character was
the expression of pure mind and an
honest conscience. Well may we
mourn. Ours is an irreparable loss.
Through the years to come, sorrow
will fill our hearts as we recall the
sudden passing of our beloved Presi-
dent; but our sorrow will be softened
by the recollection of his magnificent
achievements and the beauty of his
manhood. Sacred to his memory, we
pay him the tribute of our highest ad-
miration and deepest affection; and
Further Resolved, That in loyalty
to our government, which made the
Providence of God live on through
every vicissitude, and in recognition
of his lofty character and high pur-
poses, we pledge to our new President,

Professor Huebner on Worthless Stock
Solomon S. Huebner, professor of
insurance and commerce in the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, had as his
subject the duty of banks in prevent
ing the sale of worthless securities.
He said: Education on fundamental
lines is the surest preventative for
such sales. Most persons are not con-
tent with a competence by the slow
and sure methods, they want to get
rich quickly by speculation.
"The sale of worthless securities is
like great fishing game, in which the
investors play the part of poor fish,"
he said. "The bankers should be in
terested in preventing the sale of
worthless securities, because every
dollar thus lost reacts against legiti-
mate securities. The banks always
should stand ready to advise their
clients as to the safety of invest
ments."

A T Marseilles in 1888 one of
AZ the most splendid weddings
AA Of all time took place. 1t was
the marriage of a fourteen-year-
old Italian girl to the Duke Of
Orleans, who afterward became
king of France.
The Pope, her uncle, had con-
Quoted the child-bride-to-be from
Italy to Marseilles, and had made
her a wedding present of three
hundred thousand pounds.
This quiet little girl, who had
been brought up in a convent
Catherine de Medici, the daugh-
ter of the famous Lorenzo de
Medici, known as Lorenzo the
Magnificent, the ruler of Flor
ence.
At this time Catherine showed
no indications of the cold blooded
viciousness which characterized
her in later years.
So gentle and subsurvient was
she that when after ten years of
marriage she bore no children
and a divorce was suggested,
Catherine threw herself at the
feet of her father-in-law, the
king, and begged that she might
remain as lady-in-waiting to the
one chosen as her successor. This
pleased the king enormously, and
all thoughts of a divorce were
dismissed.
Fortunately for Catherine, she
afterward bore ten children.
Three of her sons became kings
of France.
A firm affection existed be-
tween Catherine and her kingly
father-in-law. They were often
seen. on their horses galloping
over the country. 1t was Cath
crime who introduced the fashion
of women riding in a side saddle.
But there was not much love
lost between Catherine and her
husband. For he was under the
spell of the beautiful Diane de
Poitiers. who influenced him un-
til his death.
When King Francis died her
husband became Henry the sec
ond. Catherine was queen and
Henry was king, but it was Diane
who ruled.
This, however, was suddenly
ended, when Henry was killed in
a tournament.
Catherine became regent as the
mother of Francis the Second.
But Francis was sixteen, and mar
ried to Mary Queen of Scots.
whom he adored, and whose in
fluence over him was greater
than his mothers And Mary
was under the domination of her
unCles, the Cardinal Of Lorraine
and the powerful Duke de Guise.
But her chance for power pre-.
sented itself when Francis sud
denly died. and Mary returned to
Scotland.
GATHERINGS second son, Charles
the Ninth, was but nine years old.
Catherine had years ahead of her
in which to reign as regent of
France.
France was in a pitiful state,
torn with religious dissensions be.
tween the Huguenots. under the
leadership Of Coligny and the
Prince Of Condo, and the Catho.
lies under the Duke de Guise.
Catherine was the balance Of
power between the two parties,
