Begin Here Today.

Colonel HOLES, soldier and adven-
turer, returns to England. the land
of his birth. when war is declared
with T. Hand. He comes to lodge
with Martha Quinn, hostess of the
Pau's Head, in Paufs Yard, London.
The colonel asks his old friend,
His Grace of Albemarle, to secure
for him n place in the army. Al
bemarle warns him that the name
of Randall HOLES, father of the
colonel, is on the warrant for the
execution of the late king. There
fore it is dangerous for the colonel
to secure n commission.
His Grace Of Buckingham gives n
dinner for the beautiful actress,
Sylvia Farquharson. Sylvia comes
late to the feast and when she finds
the company drinking to. excess,
flees from the house. Mr.. Etheredge
tells Buckingham how to win
Sylvia's favor. Now 90 on with the
story.
"As a beginning. But you must
follow it up. You must reveal your
self in a new character. Hitherto
she has known you, first by repute
and tonight by experience, a rake.
Let her behold you as a hero; say. a
rescuer of beauty in distress-her-
self in the distressful part. Deliver
her from some deadly peril, and
thereby earn her gratitude and her
wonder at your prowess.
"And the deadly peril?" quoth the
Duke gloomily, almost suspecting
that his friend was rallying him.
where shall l find that?"
"If you wait to find it, you may
have long to wait. You must, your
self. provide it. A little contriving.
a little invention, will soon supply
what you lack"
"Can you propose anything? Can
you be more than superiority vague?"
Il hope so. With little thought
"Then, in Gods name, think"
Ethcredge laughed at his hosts We
hemence. He brimmed himself a
cup of wine, surveyed the rich glow
OF it in the cahdlelight and drank it
off.
"Inspiration flows. Invention stirs
within me. Now listen" And sit
ting forward he propounded plan OF
campaign with that rascally readiness
of wit that was at once his glory
and his ruin.

the fact that there are not more than

beyond anything for which he could
reasonably have hoped. He said so
frankly by way OF expressing his deep
gratitude.
I'm that case, you will seek me
again here tomorrow morning. Your
commission shall be meanwhile made

The colonel departed jubilant.
So back to the Paul's head he came
with his soaring spirits, and called for
bottle of the best Canary. Mrs.
Quinn read the omens shrewdly.
Your affairs at Whitehall have
prospered, then?" said she between
question and assertion.
HOLES reclined in an armchair, his
legs, from which he had removed his
boots, stretching luxuriously upon a
stool, his head thrown back, pipe
between his lips.
"Aye. They've prospered. Beyond
my deserts" said he, smiling at the
ceiling.
"Never that, colonel. For that's
not possible" She beamed upon him,
proffering the full stoup.
He sat up to take it, and looked at
her. smiling.

gone without my deserts so long that

There's others who haven't" said
she, and timidly added question up
on the nature of his prosperity.
He paused to drink a quarter of
the wine. Then, as he set down the
vessel on the table at his elbow, he
told her.
Her countenance grew overcast. He
was touched to note it, inferring from
this manifest regret at his departure
that he had made a friend in Mrs.
Quinn.
'And when do you go?" she asked
him. oddly breathless.
I'm a weeks time"
She considered him. mournfully he
thought, and he also thought that she
lost some of her bright color.
"And to the Indies" she calculated
slowly. Lord! Among savages and
heather blacks! Why. you must be
crazed to think of it."

ANOTHER DEAN DISSOLVES.

Another experiment in practical
socialism has gone the way. of its
predecessors.
Recently the majority stockholders
of the Santa Barbara Fellowship
colony filed petition in court to dis
solve their corporation for the follow
ing reasons:
Il. The objects for which said cor
poration was organized have not been
fulfilled.

bility of accomplishing the ideals and
purposes of Incorporation.
SO. 1t is essential that the debts
Of the corporation be paid and this is
possible only by liquidation of as
sets"
Almost every man, at some time in
his life, has dreamed of a Uptoia
where all wealth would be held in COM
mon, where each would work "fOr the
joy of working" where everyone
would be freed from economic worries.
and where everyone would be free and
happy and live in peace and harmony
with his fellows.
1t is a. glorious dream, and the
Santa Barbara experiment was but
one of hundreds of attempts to make
this dream an actually. A large tract
of land was purchased and in June,
1921, a non-profit corporation was or
ganized to conduct the colony on a CO.
operative basis. 1t attracted Social
lists, of course, but other more CON.
sentative citizens joined the colony
hoped to find solution for the prob
lens of existence. But in less than
three years the project is an admitted
failure and is about to be liquidated
1t has become almost trite to point
out the basic reason for the failure
of such enterprises. 1t might, per-
haps, be best stated by saying that the
average man is naturally lazy and
unambitious animal and that some
very powerful incentive such as neces-
sity of getting food, is needed to make
him produce wealth. The very fact
that in those countries where nature
is most lavish with her gifts the in
habitants not the tourists and
visitors and those who live off them
are poorest, is fairly good evidence of
this.
Every such experiment from Santa
Barbara to Russia breaks on that
rock.-Duluth News Tribue.

THE NEW FARMER.

The prominence of the part the
farmer plays in public affairs today is
all too little understood in urban COM
munities, and in sections remote from
the great grain fields west of the east
ern mountains. The fact that modern
improvements in modes Of transit and
communication have wrought a revo-
luton is lost on the denizens of cities.
The popular delusion that the farmers
movement, so manifest today, is but
a revival of the Populist movement of
years ago, measures the depth of the
general Ignorance.
For generations the farmer was
isolated. He had no telephone. His
only outlook on the world was through
weekly papers, and most of them were
local. No ''inter-urbans" and auto
mobiles encouraged travel. At the
country church and county fairs the
farmers met and talked about the
crops, and that was all. There was a
prejudice against textbook teaching of
the business of the farm.
And this is changed. There is
telephone in almost every farm house.
A daily paper of pretensions is de-
livered every morning at the gate.
The farmers sons are returning from
agricultural universities with new and
scientific ideas. The proceedings of
Congress and State Legislature are
followed closely. There is an intel
ligent interest in economics and poll
tics.
More important still are the agri-
cultural societies in almost every COM
munity, where the farmers meet week.
ly or bi-weekly to hear lectures from
professors of agricultural schools, and
to discuss pending measures that af-
feet their interests. Out of this has
grown a class consciousness of pro-
nounced as that of laborers, or manu-
facturers, or bankers.
Throughout our national history
there has been a kind of class con-
seriousness among the farmers-some-
thing on which Jefferson played eff
fectively in his fights with Federalists.
But never until in very recent years
has this consciousness been militant
or subject to the direction of leaders.
And this is the outstanding phase
of the New Farmer-a man conscious
of his special interest, determined to
advance it.
A new class has entered American
politics, and mere epithets will not
drive out-something that the caucus
and counting rooms do not understand.

A Puzzle a Day

The commander Of n vessel in the
navy had provisions enough to last
for n certain number of days. Ar
irving at a port, he expected to leave
20 men, which would give him pro-
visions for 20 extra days, as his crew
would be depleted. But instead, he
was ordered to keep his full crew,
and 100 extra men were placed under
his charge. This action cut off 10
days from the time his provisions
would have lasted with the original
crew. How many men made up the
original crew? And how many days
supply of provisions did they have?

COMPULSORY VOTING

An intensive movement is sweeping
certain Western states for Compulsory
voting" Certain women's organizations
have been busy along this line and agi-
tation is promised before time for reg
istration. In the east, the League for
Women Voters is strong for the idea.
At the state organization to meet in
Buffalo, New York, in April, this mat
ter will be brought before the conven-
ton.
The movement originates in the claim,
which is not lacking in facts to support
it, that large numbers of qualified voters
do not 60 to the polls. At the time of
the last presidential election, while the
population was 10000O,000, but 26,O00.-
900 individuals voted. This is declared
to be too small proportion, making all
allowances for children and minors and
aliens. The way to meet this lack of
public interest. say the advocates of the
movement. is to compel people to vote.
Compulsion may be all right in its way.
There is compulsory education. fine
thing, for children VIGOROUSLY have to
be compelled to do things thew do not
want to do. that being one of the pen
alties of childhood Childish parents
who do not realize the value of an
education. have also to be compelled to
force their children into enlightenment
But compulsive education could become
a danger to the country If education
were completely controlled by certain
dominant influences as it was in Ger
many before the war, and still may be,
for that matter. In this country, too,
there is growing sense of comnulsion
in certain educa +ional ideals, and dis
enlargement of an iridepcndcnt spirit
Of investigation and criticism. particu-
larry in matters economic and moral.
But compulsory education has done
good and compulsory voting might have
its good side. 1t might stir out the lazy
and Indifferent 1t might force a more
general expression of opinion upon all
questions. Still there is another factor
to be faced. the inevitable adult rebel
lion against compulsion as such.
It is natural instinct Of the indi-
vidual to resist dominance by the crowd,
and this instinct has been trampled upon
in large measure since the war. At
that time. it was necessary for the whole
country to be organized towards one pur-
pose. Drives compelled the tightwad
to give up his hard held cash. Organi-
zaions swept the exclusive into the mass
Then on the heels of the war came pro-
hibition with its invasion of more OF
these sacred individual rights. Still more
of this sort of thing. and touching the
franchise, one thing man is supposed tc
exercise at will. might well be calcu-
lated to inspire rebellious absurdity
such as a Reputation of all franchise
and anti-voting societies to ramp and
tramp TN and down the land.
In snite of the compulsory voing move
r1ent, it is pretty safe to say that peo
ple are going to vote where their In
terests are concerned, one such dominan
interest being the good of the country
With it they stand or fall. A greater
need than compulsion is straight Tutl
: about conditions and candidates, so tina
those who do vote may vote intelligently
and express their needs.

INDICATED BY A CRITIC

American newspapers could hardly
wish for better vindication OF the charge
OF unreliability than that which Frank
A. Nanderlip. retired New York banker
and one-time newspaper man, unwilling
ly afforded them by his latest criticism
of their methods. Speaking at the
Heights Free Synagogue, in New York,
he advocated publication of the federal
government. That was all right: every
honest American citizen would like to
have the government purified. But how
would Mr.. Vanderlip have the task per-
formed?
He made an implied recommendation
in negative terms, by criticising "the men
in the newspaper field" charging snecifi-
cally that they had gone soft in their
capacity for hard investigating service. y
This alleged deterioration he laid par
ticularlv at the door of "the correspon-
dents at Washington"
Inferentiallv, but with not much room
for reasonable doubt, Mr.. Vanderlip
would have the newspaper corresDon-
dents write, and the newspapers publish
every rumor Of scandal that the winds
of susDicion. prejudice. cupiditv and ig-
norance bring to their ears. He would
have them broadcast in black type, and
en- their own responsibility. every dis
creditable story they hear about men in
the government service.
The newspapers OF this country have
fallen down" so badly on the Job of
purifying the government that Mr.. Van
derlip felt it his duty to insinuate. in
public speech, that the late President
Harding had been involved in a dis
honest deal. Later Mr.. NanderliD had
to admit that he had no basis OF fact
for his insinuation; that he had sen to
the country mere whispcrings that he
had picked rp from few people OF TN
disclosed identity.
How could anv responsible man, after
that have the face to saw that news
paper mon had gone soft in their ca
pacity for investigating service?
The answer which will doubtless oc-
cur TO many people is that Mr.. Wander
lip has forfeited any right he ever had
70 be regarded as d responsible man, SC
far as advising the public on govern
mental matters is concerned.
Not all newspapers arc reliable Not
