SOVIETS TOO IDEALISTIC

The peace plan of Soviet Russia,
however, met a cruel death. Russia
told the preparatory disarment
commission of the big league that
it was ready to disarm its armies
and asked the other nations to
jump right into immediate abolish
ment of ornaments. But the United
States, England, Holland, France
Italy, Japan and Sweden joined in
saying the Russians were too
idealiStic. Some day, we hope, but
not now, was the general tenor of
the delegates to the League of
Nations parley
We still had the oil, oil, oil mess
aftermath with us down at Wash
ington. Some day that oil stink
will be wiped away. 1t can't last
forever. But it seems to take time.
Senator Art Robinson, our own
junior Senator, had a big hand in
starting this wees main oil fracaS
He charged Al Smith was smeared
with oil because Mr. Sinclair, he
said, contributed to AIS 1920 cam
paign fund just like he did to the
1920 Republican campaign fund
which Hoosier Will Hayes has been
having so much trouble to explain.
Smith denied the contribution, and
took few nasty digs at Senator
Nye, chairman of the oil committee
who had half-heartedly supported
Senator Arthur of Indiana. Nye re-
piled in more statements.
But even the most serious Re-
publican cannot say they have
proved anything against Governor
AL yet.

SILENT" ORATOR DIES

Then there was George Mcdonald,
American, hanged in Quebec, Canda,
for the murder of taXicab driver.
II feel I have made my peace with
man as we'll as with God, "he
shouted to his father as the two
separated shortly before the hang
ing.
Mcdonald, perhaps referred to his
last minute efforts to save his wife
Doris from the gallows. Doris,
former Chicago girl, was saved. Her
death sentence was changed to life
Imprisonment, the living death. Tt
sounds trite to say the living death,
but is it not true?
Then there was the death of Mrs.
Charlotte Pickford at Beverley Hill,
Cal. Why does she deserve men
ton, you ask, more than thousands
of other persons who died this
week?
The answer: She was the mother
of Mary Pickford and Lottie and
Jack Pickford, of movie fame. Who
has not heard of Mary Pickford?
Mothers deserve credit.
United States Senator Woodbridge
N. Ferris of Michigan also died.
Bronchial pneumonia the cause. He
was known as the "silent orator,
dispatches said. You wonder why.
Presumably because his orations
where the silent kind He was a
good listener. Most of us are listen
ers. A good listener can exert a lot
of influence even among the talk
erS.
Senator Ferris was rs. He had
been an educator most of his life.
He was the first Democrat to be
elected from Michigan to the Senate
for seventy years, long, long time.
Too long. Longer than most of us
will live.

NEW YORK, August 1l.-England.
which until now has been market
for from $l25,oO0oOO to $l50,00o'ooo
worth of canned goods annually, will
make a first move toward supplying
her own canned goods markets by
canning this Summer the yield OF 1000
acres of peas, IL was stated by Sir Edgar
r. Jones, chairman OF the National
Food Canning Council of England. who
arrived here on board the Mauritania
yesterday.
Ten large food-canning plants In
England, equipped with machinery pur-
chased last year in the United States.
will soon be in operation as the first
vegetable and fruit canneries in Eng
land, and within a few years 1t is hoped
that England will be supplying at least
a third of the home market with home
canned goods.
The canning council he said. was or
gani2ed two years ago as the direct
result of hard times being experienced
by English farmers and unemployment
in English industrials. The council
consists of representatives of the British
government. tin plate manufacturers.

in the new industry.
1T is astounding that the British
Isles. surrounded by fish and fisheries,
has always been a big importer of fish,
and a big importer of canned fruits and
vegetables while her own farmers
needed a market for their vegetables
and fruit" he said.
