THE WHITEWAsH BRUSH.

The Heck resolution appears to us a frank
confession that political affairs in Wisconsin
need whitewashing If not, why the white
wash brush? We are to have report on the
conduct of the administration prepared by a
committee on which there are to be two sena-
tors selected by the senate committee on com
mittees. That committee, of course, is CONTROL
ed by the administration. The senators it Sc
lects can be relied upon. Two more members
are to be selected by Speaker Sachtjen a
henchman and political creature of the COVER
nor. Those members can also be relied upon
The fifth member is to be appointed by the
governor. 1t may be assumed that he also can
be relied upon.
1t goes without saying that whatever the
report of this committee may be, it will COM
land neither the confidence nor respect of the
people Of the state. Membership in such a
committee is "a political burden which can only
be assumed by political hacks. 1t is manifest
" not intended to investigate or report as to
the facts of state government. 1t is merely
intended that we shall be thereby assured that
all is well on the various banks of the seven
lakes, and that all criticisms of the governor and
his administration are unwarranted and I'M
founded. We could, if we were inclined to
take the time, probably write the report of the
committee oW-and our version would be

Daily Health Hint
EIGHT HOURS REST is NEEDED.

There are a few persons who can
get along comparatively well on SIX
hours of sleep. They are an excep-
ton, however. Eight hours of COM
plete rest in bed are required by
the. average person.
Many do themselves injury by try
ing to get along with less sleep than
they require.
Sleep knits up the ragged nerves,
and stores away energy to be drawn
upon by the muscles.
1t clears the skin and puts sparkle
in the eyes. q" VII H
Women complain of sallowness of
skin and spend hours and money with
the beauty doctor.
s.. Then they remain out at night un-
til IL or l a. m. playing cards with
the neighbors, attending a show, or
listening in on. the radio.
Some folk always feel tired in the
morning, no matter how many hours
they spend in bed.
In such cases one of two things
is truce either the sleep is troubled
and not as sound and refreshing as
it should be, or the person is suffer
ing from toxic fatigue, condition not
relieved by sleep.
Drugs Supply the nerves and may
however, as they bring about con-
ditions in which sleep is impossible

There are invisible" as we'll as Wis
ible exports and imports. 1t refutes
only too narrow use of the word.
But the conclusion still remains.
Europe can pay US only in our own
money, which we have first paid Eu-
rope for something, or sent as gift.
Including the invisible with the wish
bic exchanges, Europe can pay us
only in kind, by selling US, in goods
or services, delivered to our people,
for our money, in America or in Eu-
rope, more than we sell to Europe.
International debts can be paid In
money only to the extent that they
are first paid in something else. To
whatever extent we are unwilling to
be paid in this way, we are borbid-
ding ourselves to be paid at all.

Europe Can Pay When We Pay for
Something Else.

Once more comes widely pub
lished "refutation" of the argument
that these foreign debts can be paid
only in goods. We sell more to Eu-
rope than Europe sells to us. And
yet Europe, with no exchangeaDle
money to do it with, somehow pays.
The explanation is that, besides i'm
porting goods, we export money. Some
OF it we loan, to be invested abroad;
some of it we give, IN INN igrants'
remittances tc relatives; but most
of it we spend, in freights in foreign
ships, and in the expenditures Of
American tourists abroad.
So we may be paid back, still in
our own, money, but not all in money
that we paid for imported goods.
This proves only that goods" must
be taken to include services, and to
cover goods and services to Americans
abroad as well as to those at home.

MEXICANS.

A middle western newspaper de-
clares editorially that "the Mexicans
physically inferior; their stan
dard of living is contemplate; they
are illiterate; the chief critical con-
dition is turmoil"
Generalization such as this are
seldom true. Such declarations are
insults to every Mexican. They will
be taken as expressions of American
opinion. They are harmful to the
growing friendship between the Mexi-
can and American republics, harmful
to American business, and harmful to
the peace of the world.

THE SITUATION OF FRANCE.

The French people are logical; they are
courageous. Have they the vision and the
good sense to meet squarely the situation
which now confronts them?
If they falter they will find themselves at
the end of the tether. Their credit will be ex-
hausted their finances will be hopelessly in
voved and their allies will be estranged.
1t is now almost ten years since their poll
ticians began to deude them with promises
that could never be fulfilled. Germany-the
fatted calf-would be compelled to pay the war
costs to the last franc This is what they
were told by night and by day. Iteration and
Ire-iteration resulted in conviction-almost OBJ
session. There was some justification for such
a policy during the war. Morale had to be
supported at any cost. Caillaux the only
lstateman who dared warn them of the future
was banished as a traitor
Such justification as may have existed for.
this policy passed with the armistlce. That was
the day of reckoning but the balance sheets
were padded to meet the exigencies confront
ing optimistic leaders of the government. In
stead of breaking the truth to them more
promises were made. Germany not only was
to be compelled to pay but she was to be
shackled commercially until she had paid. It
seems too preposterous to be seriously consld-
cred but it was accepted and believed by the
/ p
Instead of increasing taxation they were
promised reductions One government after
another compounded the promises. The voice
of reason was stilled and the politician who
promised the greatest miracle got the job
Every trick of the financial magician has been
invoked while the country swerved closer and
closer to the verge Of bankruptcy.
The time has come to face the issue. 1t can
no longer be circumvented. The creditor is
at the door, book in hand Taxes must be in
creased and paid. Armaments must be reduced
Government expenses must be cut. Coolidge
economy or something akin to it must supplant
partisan extravaganza. Hard and bitter though
the experience may be to those who have suf-
fered far, far too much already there appears
| to be no alternative except bankruptcy with its
unthinkable potentialities.
When their politicians traded the sympathy
of Great Britain and America for that of the
impecunious Little Entente they made their
greatest post war error, 1t is not too late to
mend. If the people are willing to accept the
inevitable with good grace France may be as
glorious in peace as in war. The universal
sympathy of mankind will rally to her sup
port as it rallied to the support of her magnif-
cent troops at the Marine.
This is the view taken by the American
government with the kindest feelings towards
France Let US hope it will prevail.

ROweH Says
Bv CHESTER H. RowELL

If you seek suckers, hunt them In
the haunts of the hard-boiled. More
gold bricks are sold in Wall Street
than were ever peddled in Podunk.
1t was not in rural Milpitas, but in
sophisticated Los Angeles, that two
talented conversationalists got $780,
900 from movie and automobile mag
mates, public finance commissioners,
investment brokers, high officials and
similar Chicks" all on their mere
promise to return 10 for one when
ever they succeeded in merging six
billion dollars worth of railroads.
That is where they grow; the
hicksAwhere the white lights glow,
the ticker clicks, and everybody knows
it ALL. Uncle Reuben reads his farm
paper, and is wise. The easy mark
is the one who thinks he is smart
enough to beat the game. The tough
nuts crack quickest.
Chauncey M Depew is 81 years old,
and "Uncle Joe" Cannon 49,. That is
not much, in mere years. Any Gala
pages turtle can beat it, several times,
and doubtless many men, in many
ages, have lived uneventful lives as
long or longer.
But who ever lived 90 such years
before? There were never any 80
years like them to live, and few others
in these 80 years lived them all at the
center Of the stage or in the boxes.
A thousand years, in most Of the life
of humanity, would have revealed a
less varied spectacle.
From world just recovering from
Napoleon to world just recovering
from kaiserism; from America the
pioneer to America the center; from
the coach to the airplane, through the
whole mechanical and industrial rev.
olution; through the era of most rapid
expansion of human contracts and
transformation of human life, these
two men, in their respective ways,
played their large and active parts.
Of much of their era, they are al
most the only important survivors.
May they both live to enjoy the spec
tacle through a whole rounded CEN

Half of Half Still Leaves Us at Zero.
The same day come reports that
France considers turning over half
its Dawes plan receipts to its credit
ors, and that there may be no such
receipts Half of zero is zero, and
our half of that is zero, so we would
continue to get exactly what we have
been receiving.
Of course, it may not turn out to
be so bad. At least a considerable
part of the Dawes plan payments will
be turned in to the allied collector,
in Berlin The difficulty is in find
ing a way to turn them out, in francs,
pounds or dollars, for France or its
creditors.
That can be done only to the ex-
tent of the export trade balance of
Germany, which is, so far, unsatis
factory. Doubtless, in due time, that
balance will improve. Germany will
export more goods to America than
it buys of US, buy francs with the
dollars it receives for the difference,
and pay France.
Then, if it is good, France may
pay us back one-fourth of those dol
lars. So we shall be paid, in part,
by the familiar process of paying it
ourselves.

CIVIC PRIDE IS PATRIOTISM

Dubuque Times JournaD
Civic pride is but local patriot
ism. In fact. civic pride is the
most common manifestation Of
patriotism. Every citizen OF a
community who feels a sense Of
responsibility toward that commun-
ity and who Is convinced that his
community is superior to all others
is patriot, who differs from the
national patriot only in that lie has
brought his patriotism home to
himself.
But this civic pride is not mere
ly manifestation of a communal
superiority complex 1t is based
upon something more than vain
FASTING and blind patriotism. 1t
springs from the stern conviction
among the citizens of the commu
nifty that their home is especially
pronounced in the self-made munt-
cipalities. The community which
has only preserved its natural re-
sources or attributes also prOvokeS
civic pride, because the man who
inherits his success is no less proud
of his position than the man who
began on the proverbial shoe
string.
Without civic pride or this COM
munity superiority complex there
would be no public improvements,
1 no parks, or ornamental public
buildings and no community plan
Civic pride is to the community
what ideals and ambitions are to
the Individual.
