AFTER DEATH

In Austria 65 year-old poet Arthur Brehmer wondered
what the critics would say of his after his death. So
he faxed death, into hiding while obituaries of him
appeared in the newspapers.
After few days, Brehmer showed up again in his old
haunts.
The experience satisfied him that his work better
than he had believed But the trouble with his system is
that he isn't any closer the truth than before he fegned
death.
People naturally stand in tremendous of the Here
after It's mighty poor stick of who doesn't have
fine things said about him at his funeral and for time
after In few weeks the average is almost forgotten
except by his family and intimate friends few months
few years, and the really great remembered
only occasionally.
Brehmer should have stayed dead" for six months By
that time he'd have known the truth And the truth posi-
bly, would be that not person 100 would give him
q thought.
1t takes at least century to determine whether
really great in his generation 1t takes 1000 to
find his real place in history. After that, if memory OF
him survives he becomes legendary and most of the things
credited to him mythical.
This interesting question rises: "Just how much is the
best, barring actors, writers, politicians specialists and
others who depend widespread popularity for their
and prosperity.
A fine thing to have good standing undoubtedly. And
the best form of good standing is to be recognized true
friend loyal husband good father and around honor
able But the greatest satisfaction is persona-in the
individuals knowledge of himself his merits and shortcom
ings. He alone knows the truth.

The Governor s
Message

Taken as a whole, the mes
sage of Governor Walker to the
Legislature is wholesome and
constructive, more so than any
message yet emanating from his
pen.
He asked the Legislature to
make quick disposition of the
tax question and advocated BIZ
ennial sessions of the Legisla-
ture; the incorporation of strict
business methods in the conduct
of the States business; four
year terms for Governor and
other State House officials; a
bill making it possible for citi-
zens absent from the State to
vote; a more rigid enforcement
of the tax-collecting laws and
putting of more teeth into these
laws; more rigid enforcement of
inheritance taxes.
Again the Governor rode his
hobby of free school books.
He spoke of the unscientific
and unbusinesslike method of
making appropriations in lump
sums, and suggested that mon
ely appropriated should be APP
piled to purpose authorized.

YOUNG AMERICA.

The tendency of our modern
life is to arouse curiosity and
develop initiative. Our educa-
tional systems and the dictum OF
the business world have placed
great emphasis upon it, and We
should not be surprised if OR
energetic youngsters sometimes
use this quality in a startling
way.
Young America is wonderfully
sure of itself. 1t knows mueh
that its grandparents did not
know and it goes after what it
wants with am audacity that
stupefies members Of the older
generations. Young America
faces many new and difficult
tasks; life for it will be more eX-
pensive in effort and money
more strenuous and complex, but
young, hopeful America is not
daunted by these things. Young
America not only knows what 1t
wants, but it knows how to get
it. If you onot believed this

You Shall and You
Shantl

Too many parents rely on
commands rather than per-
suasion. Too many parents
give orders, rather than use in
telligent argument.
We grant you that there is a
time and a place for commands,
for orders, and when these are
given, they should be obeyed.
The parent who issues a COM
mand and lacks the backbone
and grit to enforce the COM
mand, had best never spoken.
1t is far better for the child to
say NO" once in seven days,
and then see that that order is
obeyed, than repeat the word a
dozen times a day day without
enforcing the command.
Some one has said that it is a
wise parent who knows when to
say no end when to remain sill
ent. Parents claim that ihey are
rot obeyed, that they can
not control their children. May
be the trouble is too many ord
crs or lack Of sympathy. May
be you canrot see the viewpoint
of the child. Certainly, he
doesn't see the thing in the way
you do.
There's too many STALLS
and too many SFIANTS. It's
far easier to LEAD than to
DRIVE, provided the child re-
spects you and your opinion. IF
it does not, it's YOUR fault.

If you are a wise parent, you
will point out the danger

convince the child that you
KNOW what you are saying,
that you are interested only in
his or her ultimate salvation.

Will Germany Ever
Pay?

1eLtlng DlOOd out OF tuI-
nip is easy, compared with ex-
tracing PREPARATIONS from Ger
many That much is becoming
apparent, though it's hard to
get at the truth. Both sides
color their statistics. Figures
don't lie, but liars figure, as Kin
Hubbard remarks.
In 1923, for instance, accord
ing to the Preparations Commits
sion, the allies were able to
squeeze out Of Germany only
about the equivalent Of three
and a quarter million dollars in
cash reparations.
The Germans, in addition,
delivered III million dollars
worth of manufactured goodsa,
and other commodities on rep-h
arations account.
These two items do not in
clude whatever France and Bel
GUM were able to make in the
way of profits out of their oc-
cupation of the Ruhr.
By the time the expenses of
the armies of occupation were
paid, not much was left in the
way of net indemnity.
Up to the beginning of 1924,
Germany had paid a total Of
only little more than two mil
lion dollars, the Reparations
Commission claims.
A third of this amount was in
the form of deliveries Of ships,
war materials, cables and terri
tory including the Saar mines.
Apparently Alsace-Lorraine
is not included under surrender
ed territory. Nor the German
colonies. These are worth bill
lions.
Even considering these fig
ures with an eye for propagan-
da, it's evident that Germany
has not paid a cent more than
she had to. For that matter,
she never will.
How many nations would?
AT the peace conference, Eu-
ropean diplomats began talking
about PREPARATIONS of from SO
to 1870 billion dollars. Some of
the American financial experts
who were present said: Ger
many will pay FIVE billion dol
lars cash surely, six billions pos
SHY, but not more than seven.
What Germany should pay
and what she will pay, are sepa-
rate and distinct matters.
All the gold that's left in
Germany wouldn't be a drop in
the bucket compared with what
the allies want, France in par
ticular.
How, then, will Germany
pay? Her imports shp a'e~ aY@y
ports-unless she's jugt n&hep'
figures, which is more than like
ly.
The leading nations want
Germany to sell goods abroad,
build up favorable trade bal
ances and turn the money over
to the war winners. Then the
same nations surround them
selves with high tariffs and ev-
cry other conceivable fence to
keep out German goods. They
favor selling-but to some one
else.
Skeptics have glimmering
suspicion that PREPARATIONS pay
ments will depend mainly on
the length of time required I'M
til Germany will feel strong
enough to point to her new crop
Of cannon fodder and announces
