DEMOCRATS-AND WALL
STREET

(Stuart A. Rice, professor of soci-
ology, Dartmouth College. in Cur
rent History Magazine)
Within the Democratic party in
America today verbal hostility to
1.-The Wall Street interests" still
provides a semblance of unity be-
tween the diverse elements. Upon
this ground Mayor Hylan of New
York city and the senators from
Arkansas or Texas can still unite;
yet this is more sham that real
ity. The Democratic machines in
New York or Boston are controll-
ed by interests" as unsympathetic
or hostile to the need of the South
as the money power" which both
attack. Governor Alfred E. Smith,
idol OF the New York proletariat.
is himself accused by William ].
Bryan Of being representative
of Wall Street. Moreover, the
new South has developed manu-
featuring and commercial interest
more opposed to labor and the
masses - because less constrained
by public control and labor organ
ization-than is the capitalism OF
the North.

She is the foster mother of all
veteran automobile racing drivers,
the confidant Of the men who diced
with death in four wheeled bullets.
Three of her "sons" have accepted
the checkered flag of the finish of
last race by the Great Starter.
First was Joe Boyer, the Detroit
millionaire who was killed at Al
toona, Pa, wheeling his car at
speed of 1876 miles an hour.
The following day Dario Resta,
champion in the days Of 1916 when
he won $4,000 in a seasons cam
paigning, died in crash at Brook
lands Speedway, near London, Eng
land, travelling 122 miles an hour.
A few days ago Jimmy Murphy,
the smiling son of Erin, flash of
lad who came from a mechanics
position in a Pacific Coast garage to
the highest position in racing, died
in a smashup at Syracuse, N. Y,
travelling only 80 miles an hour.
Mother Machree lives at Sleeps

ers in the days Of speed duelling on
the famous Hardness two-mile
Sheepshead Bay speedway, before 1t
was dismantled few years ago.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD
BY Albert Apple

The iron and industry, which leads the way for all
other business activities, is slowly but steadily climbing
back up toward fultme operations
The gain in pig iron production in August was only per
the July output But it the first check to the
drop that started late in March.
With the national election out of the and uncertainty
and superstous public fear aayed times boom sud-
denly The iron and steel industry not nfrequenty leaps
upward with rather amazing speed In Aug 1922 pig iron
output had dropped to 18l670 TONS In four months 1t
was up past 100000 TONS
That may happen again in iron and seeland in general
business. All hope
Lots of business rainbow in the sky Election will soon'
be over Steel industry the upgrade Europe, having
finally settled the reparatons problem for time at least
should convaesce faster; this in turn, would stimulate
American business
The farmer is in better shape, his buying grad
uay being restored Business failures recently have been
the lowest of the year Railroad freight loadng have been
running the highest of the year to date.
All these point infalbly to better times ahead.
America went through severe hard times a few years
back That always after big Here's what
happened after the Napoeonc and after the Civil Wars
Wars end brought BOOM followed by depression in
which prices dropped Then another BOOM and prices
went up but not quite high before. Later things
sumped and prices sagged. Then recovery And so on
We've been going through the same process-a postwar
depression another boom secondary period of nfla
tion and recently the reaction downward The stage again
is set for turn upward
We'd be better off we could have good business all the
time instead of booms and depressons alternating The
thing could be arrangedand will be later when under

or, in other words, how to stabilize prices.
Business conditions and prices are Siamese twins.

CHINESE NATION-MAKING
indianapolis News)

A\C"S)
1t might perhaps be plausibly
argued that China is going through
the process of acknowledging.
which always has been costly and
painful. Certain it is that China
is not today a nation.
The war now going on is waged
by powerful provincial governors
against one another with armies
which are their personal posses
sion, though paid for out OF taxes
levied on the people.
According to DR.. Schurman, our
minister to China, four-fifths of
the taxes go to the maintenance Of
these armies over which the So
called government has no control.
That government is powerless to
preserve peace or maintain order.
Whether any of the warning
chieftains have any object except
their ACKNOWLEDGMENT may be doubt
ed. Nothing has yet been brought
out that indicates patriotic pur-
pose on the part of any one Of
them.
Yet apparently it is out of just
such strife as this that Chinese
nation must be born. In his
statement DR.. Schurman says:
1.-The situation in Shanghai is the
mirror Of China. The fate of the
Chinese people today is in the
hands OF the militarists. 1t may
be long before an effective ma
tional government is established,
the personal armies of the military
satraps abandoned, and the unfit
cation of the country permanently
and satisfactorily established"
There are people who do not
even know that there is central
government. Their interests at
tach only to their neighborhood,
or at most to their province.
1t is possible--indeed it seems
likely-that through the triumphs
of one powerful man the nation
making process may be fastened
as in other countries, when tribes
were welded into nations. But
much more than this will be need
ed, for China has known, and been
subjected to many strong men.
The result of their rule was :
government-such as it was-rath
err than a nation. There is no bet
ter material anywhere than thu
Chinese people.
AS for the strong man, he mus
be more than that if he is to &C
complish much for China. Their
is great need for railways, roads
telegraphs, not only for purpose o
commerce and industry, but t.
bring the people closer together
and closer to their government.

It's absolutely-achoo!-the very

"Don't worry Mister Sand Man,
we'll find it," said Nancy, comfort
ingly.
II hope we do" said the Sand
Man, "because-achoo!-It's time for
the babies to take their afternoon
maps"
"Have you looked on the moon?"
asked Nick, just as though he was
saying; "Have you looked in the ice
box?'
"Why I-achoo!-I never thought
of that" declared the Sand Man.
"You don't suppose the Moon Man
would take it, dosyou. Why, we're
the best of friends, the Moon Man
and I are"
ooh, no, he wouldn't take your
sleepy sand, I'm sure" said Nick
quickly. "But there is a tricky elf
called Tweekanose who tries to keep
all the babies awake. He lives on
the moon sometimes when the Moon
Man doesn't know he's there. Per-
haps he stole your sleepy sand"
"Why I'll just bet you anything

Sand Man.
"Who's that sneezing?" suddenly

"It's just-achoo!-me!" said the

"No, you haven't. I've cured it,"

ooh, thank you, Mister Wizard"
said the Sand Man. "I'm just ever
and ever so much obliged"
"The Sand Man has lost his sleepy
sand," said Nancy. "And we're 60

"Well, that's news" said the
Green Wizard. "Come on up and
we'll talk it over. Perhaps I can

he could go any place at all.
Up in the branches the Green
Wizard had nice house.
The Green Wizard stroked his
beard and thought and thought.
"Have you any idea who has your
sleepy sand?" he asked finally.
1T might be Tweekanose," said
the Sand Man.

Wizard. And then again it
mightn't."
COR it might be Eena Meena, the
Magician" said Nancy.
$50 it might, but then again it
mightn't," said the Wizard. "But
I'll bet you it is Tweekanose, the
Gnome. He always likes to keep the
babies awake. If he has it, he must
be found at once"
