CARAVANS FINDINGS

It is hard to believe that the
white crosses over the graves OF
some of our 10000 soldier dead in
France are disfigured with vulgar
inscriptions, as Senator Caraway
reports after visit to their last
resting places. We have no doubt,
however, that he saw some, other
wise he would not have made the
statement. But we also feel con-
strained to believe such inscriptions
are relatively few. and no doubt
will be quickly erased now that pub
lie attention has been called to
them. Unfortunately, however what
the senator reports regarding the
feeling in France about the pay
ment of debts bears out the state
ments of other reputable Ameri-
cans. Responsible French officials
are endeavoring to squelsh the
trouble-making element and have
partly succeeded. But the minority
which delights in smashing statues,
attacking buses and writing i'm
proper Inscriptions upon grave
markers are hard to control.

Twenty-Five years ago today a

the question was one that must be

Yesterday John J. KimmcI, Re

saying THE installation of sewer
system will have to be put off for
some time since the money neces-
sary for this is not on hand, and
the possibility of getting some to

VEN EERIlD FURNITURE

The Federal Trade commission,
in taking another jab at the furni-
turc manufacturing trade, this
time puts forth the claim that oak,
maple or walnut furniture, when
advertised as such, should be the
real thing. and net veneered.
1t is like saying that "all wool
and a yard wide" should mean what
1t says; or that fresh country eggs"
should mean Just that, and not eggs
from some cold storage warehouse.
The several score Grand Rapids
furniture makers, who face the
charges made by the government
body. no doubt will have their list
of trade terms ready for inspection.
Maybe the word "veneered' will be
in more common use hereafter and
maybe it won't.

Liberal PARTY VICTORY
IN CANADA

The Liberal party in Canada
roughly corresponds TO the Demo-
cratic party In the United States;
and the Conservative party rough
ly corresponds to the Republican
party. Canada just got through
with a general election and the
Liberals, in conjunction with the
Progressives, have the upper hand
over the Conservatives.
Thus the Liberal government of
Mackenzie King, which was upset
last July when it reduced the tariff
duties on automobiles, returns to
power - and largely on account of
this one act, the western agricul-
tural interests which desire auto
mobiles at the lowest possible
price, yielding the Liberals huge
gains. In the manufacturing and
commercial districts of Canada,
however, where the gospel is to
soak the public as much as posi-
Bile, the reduction in the automo-
bile tariff was previously unpopu-
lar and resulted in the Conserva-
tives holding their own or gaining.
But the commercial and manufac-
turing interests could not swing
the country for Arthur Meighen
and his Conservative party, despite
the loud noise they made during
the campaign about the industries
Of Canada being ruined by the low
tariff Liberal policy. 1t seems that
the farmers are not much con-
cerned whether the industries are
ruined so long as the price of
what they buy does not go up.
The Canadian automobile situa-
ton Is peculiar. A dozen or so Of
American companies have erected
large plants in Canada to take care
Of the Canadian trade. But they
are largely assembly plants, and
duty must be paid upon the parts
exported from the United States.
This made the cost of all makes
Of automobiles higher in Canada
than in the United States; and such
actual Canadian companies which
manufactured all their own parts
were able to prosper with a higher
standard of prices. But the people
who bought the machines were not
so well satisfied; they wished to
get their cars at or near the same
prices charged in the United States.
When the Mackenzie King gov
eminent violently reduced duties
last July a sudden blight struck
the Canadian automobile industry,
and newspapers figured out how
many millions of dollars would be
lost and how many thousands of
men would be thrown out of en-
ployment in that industry. To the
trained Yankee obserVcr-trained
in high tariff ideals - it looked as
if the Conservatives were eminent
~ correct, and he no doubt felt the
Liberals would be swamped at the
next election for putting such low
tariff ideas in force. But the cleo
ton has Just given the Liberals
carte blanche rights to knock the
props from under the protectionist
policy.

To grow up ignorant, a fool;
Because l felt some day I'd find

And If I were to be his mate,
The kind that he'd be proud to own,
Twas up to me to graduate
With all the knowledge that was
known.
That's what 1 started out to
do
But WHAT I've learned since I
met you!!
l thought I knew Arithmetic.
And how to add or to divide,
but l guess l was pretty thlck,
For since I've travelled by your
side

store
Has LETT as many as beforei
In Latin I would coniugate
The verb "J love " and little knew
What was to be my happy fate
The object of that verb was you!
My greatest knowledge gained

Was learning just how dear

PINCHOT, WARE AND NORRIS
IN PENNSYLVANIA

Announcement by Governor
Pinchot of Pennsylvania that he
would bolt Ware, the Republican
nominee for the I. s. Senate from
Pennsylvania, is in entire conform
ity with the governors methods and
personal beliefs. One need not be in
political and moral agreement with
The Pennsylvania governor to con-
clude he could not conscientiously
support Ware. though both may
have the same party label. One
would not expect Ware to support
Pinchot were the conditions re-
versed.
Pinchot has quoted extracts from
attacks on Ware made by Senator
Pepper, w l.. Mellon, Senator Reed
and others, all OF whom are now
supporting Ware. Candidly, we do
not think highly of this turn-coat
business. If the attacks were jusu-
fled during the primary they are
equally as applicable during the
election. Pinchot at least is honest
about his politics, although he ran
third in the primary for all his up.
rightness.
There is need for more independ-
ent thought in considering the value
of political candidates. Figuratively,
to call a man a yellow dog during
a primary and an angel during the
following election is no sign of in
dependence; rather. it is a piffling
trucking 10 the party label which
stultifies common sense and hon
esty.
Ware himself does not indulge in
this sort of thing. He has been
known as a boss, has earned the
title of being one, glories in it,
makes no compromises with the
Pinchots nor any other political
opponents, and probably privately
respects Pinchot more than he does
Pepper or the MELONS for having
the same kind of courage he himself
has, no matter how far apart they
may be upon political and moral
issues.
The mess in Pennsylvania now
tends TO aid the Democrats, as a
good proportion Of the Pinchot fol-
lowers arc expected TO vote for
Wilson, the Democratic candidate.
And it is interesting to note that
Senator Norris of Nebraska, whom
the national administration has be-
latedly taken up as "Republican
candidate, Is stumping the state in
favor of the Democratic candidate.
And the administration is counting
on Norris TO add to the quota of
Republican" senators in the total
ling after the November election.

AT THE CENTER

The city traffic squad Is getting
down to cases at the Center and
through It's recent activity at the
Church street crossing is giving
evidence it has discovered one OF the
sore spots Of the pedestrian vs.. auto

As has been pointed out on sever

,ly meant that the Church street
rrossing is safe against automobiles
rrossing it while pedestrians are
supposed to have the right of way.
But a traffic policeman at the spot
has been functioning as an energetic
teacher and has had many apt
pupils. Autoists have been cautioned
against proceeding over the cross
ing while the red lights were shin
ing. and much satisfaction has re-
suited.
Coordination of traffic at the
Center Is much to be desired. Up to
the present such coordination has
only existed at the crossings near

themselves, with conditions pretty
