McADOO AS CASEY JONES.

Does any one think for moment that IL NC
Adoo were President or if the radicals in Con-
gress were in control Of legislation, the rall-
roads would be run as efficiently or as econoTl-
ically as they are today? Of course nor. Rad
icals and other theorists put up plausible pleas
when they want votes But when it comes to
practical operation of any enterprise or the
management of any business, they are not
equal to the task Mr.. McAdoo could run the
railroads as long as he had Federal Treasury
to draw upon for deficits. Our radicals in Con
gress can declaim against supposed evils but
they could not run the Government through
one year of a Presidential term it they were
given the power and responsibility. Every
farmer has had hired men who could tell him
how he ought to run his farm IN man
ner different, of course, from that in which he
has been running it. But every farmer also
knows that these theorists would not be hired
men if they really knew how to run farms
successfully If Mr.. McAdoo really knew heW
to run railroads he would long ago have been
offered high salary to run one or more OF the
bic systems Of the United States. He knows
more about politics than he does about rail
reading.

PRIVATE PROPERTY NOT RECOGNIZED.

Congressman Beedy of Maine visited Russia
and had a personal interview with Foreign Min
lister Tchitcherin. He discussed with that Off
cial one of the chief points at issue between the
soviet government and the United States In
reply to Mr.. Beedy's inquiry as to whether Rus
STA was ready to restore property which had
been confiscated from American citizens,
Tchitcherin sad owe cannot do it; we came
into power on a platform which does not rec
ognize private property. The moment we give
back to American nationals American property
that moment we lose the support at home which
we need to maintain our power"
The authenticity of some of the documents
that have been presented as evidence why the
United States should not recognize Russia has
been disputed, and they have been branded as
forgeries. But here is Congressman who has
obtained at first hand from one Of the respon-
sible officials of the Russian government itself
testimony on one of the points raised by Presi
dent Coolidge in his message to Congress and
in Secretary Hughes pointed reply to that
same officials inquiry. Such testimony cannot
be impeached, and proves conclusively that the
American Russian policy is sound.

AGRICULTURAL IMPORT CANS.

The value of agricultural imports into the
United States for probably the first time in its
history has exceeded the values of imports.
The figures of the Department of Agriculture
for the year ending June &c. 1888, attributes
the increase largely TO increased value Of i'm
ports, although there was also decrease of
about 100000 in the value of agricultural
exports.
In earlier years, the department states, the
excess of value of exports over imports was
even greater than in recent years. In 1902,
for example, the value Of agricultural exports
was more than double the value of agricultural
imports. In the year 1929 agricultural ex-
ports to the, amount of S2,0O9,0OOO0O left this
country, whie'the imports aggregated $685.
100000 The margin between import and ex-
port for the year ending June 80, 1928, was
1888, 100000 favoring the former item.
An exhaustive analysis of the conditions
making this margin would clarity the atnos-
phere It is evident that some great economic
change has been going on.

Your Health
HYGIENE OF THE TEETH

Poor hygiene of the teeth is re-
sponsible for more disastrous conse-
quences than we are usually pleased
to admit, Mouth breathing, which is
sure to follow obstruction of the nasal
passages, is one of the earliest trou-
bles to look after. This may be cor
rected almost completely if taken at
it's first stages. The teeth will escape
the deformity of being too large and
as a result crowded forward and be-
coming prominent and unsightly.
Probably no deformity is more to
be fought against than this protruding
or overhanging jaw. 1t spoils the sym
metry of ones face and causes life
long defect, if not remedied in baby
hood or early life.
Some families through several gem
erations have teeth which are called
soft or feeble. This condition. seems
to be the result of poor or deficient
nutrition. The children of these un-
dernourished parents require very
velopment of carries. These poorly
developed teeth are often seen in the
mouths of children suffering from
scorbutic or rachitic disease and also
syphilis.
Do your best for your children's
teeth. Give them hygienic mouth, if
you value their success in life. Re-
member that proper diet is important
in teeth forming and development.
1t has been pointed out by leading
dentists that the teeth that-afe the
least called uDon for proper mastica-
tion are often the worst in structure.
Use the proper coarse foods and have
strong healthy teeth.

treat ali of those nations exactly alike. The
countries that are practically repudiating their
promissory notes are to be accorded precisely
the same immigration privileges as the coun-
tries that are honestly fulfilling their obliga-
tons.
There would seem to be good reason for MAX
ing suitable discrimination among the nations
that are returning to American taxpayers the
money which they borrowed, and those others
which show an inclination to retain that money
indefinitely The committees of. Congress that
handle immigration and debt matters usually
have little in common, but here appears to be
an opportunity where they might consult to-
gether and bring in legislation dictated by fair
play, as well as hasten the day when Ameri-
can dollars sent abroad during the war can be
returned.

WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS.

The stigma of responsibility for increased
crime in this country has been taken from the
shoulders of the veterans of the world war and
placed squarely on the boys from II to Il
years of age by the Indiana Survey of Religious
education
Tt is not pleasant to realize that the youth OF
the nation are thus starting out on career OF
crime but it is reassuring to know that the
men who fought in the armies of the United
States are not the criminal aggregation which
previous statements have indicated. Further
broadcasting of the popular supposition that
ex-soldiers are responsible for the bulk of the
nations crime would eventually make the term
veteran" a badge of shame instead OF the mark
of honor that it is.
According to the Indiana Survey the young
sters are guilty and they are not themselves
altogether to blame, They are the victims OF
circumstance and the neglect of their elders.
Inadequate provision for moral education OF
youth by State, Church, and Home is respon-
sible for this juvenile waywardness, adds the
report It is a charge that those Of an older
generation cannot ignore What will they do
about it

With these rapidly changing times
we realize more and more the necessi-
ty Of rewriting the dictionary. Some
bird invents the word skofflaw and
gets 500.
At that rate every poor professor
can quit talking of his wealthy rela-

Poor old Webster will never know
how narrowly he escaped being the

Anyway, we've decided to grind out

Skoffblond-A blase young man.
Skoffgas-A bird that borrows his

Skoffgrub--A fat lady on diet.

AGILE.

Two out of every five American col
leges are using psychological tests"
to rate the mentality of students, says
Prof. R. w. Husband, of Dartmouth.
The majority of these tests are
foolishly based on the suppositiOn that
mental agility-fast thinking-is the
greatest brain quality. AS "a matter of
fact, the best brains move slowly,
cautiously like an elephant testing the
bridge ahead. Gigantic blunders like
the World War are the result of fast
thinking--snap judgment.

PAY OR DON'T ENTER.

Of course the Department of Labor has moth
ing to do with the collection of foreign debts
to the United States, and the Treasury Depart
ment has nothing to do with the regulation of
immigration, but there appears to be an OPP
portunity for cooperation between those two
departments for the good Of the country.
Among the twenty countries that borrowed
money from the United States to aid them in
the prosecution of the war there is a vastly
different attitude toward the repayment of
their debts Cuba has repaid in full, Great
Britain and Finland are paying the interest and
installments on the principal, certain other gov
ernments have indicated their intention of
sending commissions to Washington to negoti-
ate for similar repayments while the leading
statesmen of others do not hesitate to say
their countries cannot repay those obligations
to American taxpayers
Despite those differing conceptions Of ma
tional integrity, the present immigration law
and the revisions of that law contained in the
immigration bill now pending in Congress

PROTEST,

A young man writes, protesting at
the older generations notion that the
younger generation is going to the
dogs" He says truthfully that $40
cannot judge 90" And he adds the
sum of the whole situation. eff we
do want to enjoy ourselves, it is be-
cause we know only too soon we will
marry, and marriage nowadays has
not much glamour about it. Jobs are
too hard to get and keep, and there
is not much money to be easily made"
You have noticed the tremendous
number Of young couples who find the
pocketbook problem so acute that both
husband and wife have to work. In a
sense they are victims of men whose
ambition, rather than to get lot of
money flor themselves, is to prevent
others from getting.

FATAL.

Twenty-one thousand Americans will
be killed by accidents this year while
on industrial jobs, warns the Nation
al Industrial Conference Board. An
additional 1000 employers and self
employed people will be killed.
Whether or not your name will be
included on this list may depend
largely on your personal caution. Safe
ty appliances help a lot. But constant
personal caution is the best safety de-
vice. Be as careful, when working
around danger, as when driving an
auto past a schoolhouse.

By Berton Braley

THE cat sits in the ingle nook
Il Where it is snug and warm.
But the dog, goes where his master goes
Nor cares how great the storm.
The cat will purr to feel its coat
Stroked in the proper wise,
But dogs heart thrills at every glance
From out his masters eyes.
A ND though the cat may dwell with you
II A guest beneath your roof,
It's spirit is forevermore
Something apart, aloof.
But oh, a dog-so great his 10
That while his life endures,
His flesh and blood and soul.
His every thought is yours.
I LihE a cat and | admire
4 It's splendid dignity,
The way it takes your milk and meat
Yet keeps its spirit free;
Yet l would rather have the love
Of one small mongrel cur
Than all the selfish tolerance
Of all the cats that purr.

Marshal Foch made the decision not
to keep the Germans on the run and
invade Berlin in 1918, according to
Major Gen. Henry T. Allen, former
commander of the American Army of
Occupation. Pershing and other mill
tary heads left the decision to Foch.
Foch apparently thought the inva-
sion of Berlin would make too much
territory to police. 1t was one of the
most important decisions in history.
We wonder if Foch has regretted it.
