10 the union of states here. Will
Europe listen this time. Probably
not. 1t was hard enough to over
come jcalousies in our colonies,
and the selfish ambitions Of indi-
viduals, after l776. How can Europe
make a working combination Of
Trotzky, Baldwin, Kemal >Pasha, Poin-
care, Prime de Rivera and Mussolini !?
The allied armies did accept, under
Foch, unified leadership, In their
despair, but only Lloyd George could
have accomplished that.
It is not pleasant thought, but
Europe will plan for war while
poor and declare war when strong
enough, until one nation, or two or
more combined, beat the others
and force peace. This nation,
through Woodrow Wilson, bears
responsibility for setting up several
prepOster0uS European nationalities
that time had killed off, as not fit to
survive. Time will have to kill them
off again. Let US hope this nation
will mind its own business, and not
send any other provincial! crusader
to tell Europeans what they must
do. We have plenty to do managing
ourselves, and do it none too we'll.
Philadelphia clergymen protest
against the heavyweight prize fight
to be pulled off" in that respccta-
BILE city. After the fight you will
know who is the worlds heavyweight
champion, and how much influence
the clergy have, as compared with
S2.00O,OOO gate receipts.
1t will console the clergy in their
disappointment to reflect that If all
the signers Of the declaration could
come back, Hancock, Franklin and
jefferson included, and publicly sign
the declaration all over again, they
could not ''draw" ten per cent OF
prize fight receipts.
Recently the former Kaiser motored
to a high hill from his castle in
Holland, looked across the German
frontier, and gazed on the father
land for the first time since he ran
away from that fatherland, after
the armistice. A crowd Of German
nationalists, by arrangement OF
course. rushed across the border to
see and cheer him. Moses had the
same experience, looking at the prom
ised land but not allowed to en-
ter after all his hard work. The
Kaiser, however, may have other
chances.
Russia, Nictzsche's "blond beast Of
Europe" with stubborn and re-
signed fatalism which gives them
even now the advantage over US west
crncrs," might start marching west
ward. If that happened, the allies,
that recently wanted to hang the
Kaiser, would ask him to 60 home
and rcorganixc his army for the de-
Tense of western Europe. You never
know what will come out Of the rag
bag Of international hatrcds.
Senator Capper tells the president
that farmers want new tariff. The
Kansas senator thinks something is
wrong when canned beef from the
Argentine is sold at cut rates in
Kansas where cattle grow. He wants
tariff on hides, higher tariff on
wheat and cattle, and aluminium on
the free list.
Why not arrange tariff that
would protect all interests and, with
out hypocritical pretense, protect
farms, factories, workers, and bust
ness men? Farmers have not been
onsidcrcd because, like the work
crs, they are not really united polit-
ically, and they live out in the fields,
instead Of having offices in Wall
street, and lawyers around the cor
ncrs.
