World in Debt Plot

XXTE are up against an unpre-
w cedented situation, chiefly
because of the organized economic
control.
An equally large percentage of the
people have been out of work and
out of food on many occasions in
the past, but on no occasion was
civilization ever so completely sub
merged in debt.
The obvious probability that debt
ors will balk and creditors will
have to use force explains most OF
the arning and preparing.
Even second-rate politicians know
the situation can't go on, so they
buy more guns, in the hope that
when things go to smash, they will
be in a position to collect.
Disarmament is out of the ques-
ton until the menace of debt COL
lection by force has been removed,
and the restoration of normal con-
ditions is out of the question as long
as the world squanders so much of
its income on ornaments.

World Is MOrtgagod

HOW we can get so excited over
L. Il the cost of loaf of bread, or
suit of clothes, and remain so in
different to the cost of war is a
mystery.
On paper, this world is mortgaged
for the next half century, yet no one
seems to take it seriously.
On paper, the taxes to be paid by
children yet unborn have been
spent, and the revenues of govern
ments hypothecated.
Talk about installment buying
statesmen have eclipsed any scheme
ever dreamed of in that direction.

Relief or Chaos

ON the one hand, we are trying
" to finance the most ambitious
epoch in human progress, while on
the other, we are striving to pay
for the greatest waste of property
and life.
Realizing that no one generation
could do it, we extend credit to the
second, third and even fourth gen.
Grafton.
The thing is absurd on its face.
Our financial sharps simply have
overplayed the art of bookkeeping.
Barring intelligent measures of re-
lief, there will be economic chaos.

And the man who has to survive
hungry days even in periods of
greatest bounty is the very same
who draws his belt three notches
tighter when the panic comes. This
isn't good enough. 1t may seem
satisfactory to Mr.. Strawn, but it
will not suffice those who live in
the valleys much the decade around.

High Cost of War

THE battleship Colorado cost
L more than it took to run the
entire navy in 1890 In 1900, right
after the impressive victory over
Spain, our naval expenditures
amounted to only $55,000000, while
last year they were seven times as
much.
Everything has gone up since dad
was boy, but nothing has gone up
quite as much as the cost of war,
whether measured from the stand
point Of preparedness, or bonuses.

ANNIVERSARY
PROCLAIMS RUSS REPUBLIC
Sept. Is

ON Sept. Is, 1917, Premier Alex
~ ander Kerensky of the provi-
sional government proclaimed the
Russian republic as follows:
General Korniloff'S rebellion has
been quelled. But great is the con-
fusions caused thereby, and again
great is the danger threatening the
fate of the fatherland and its free
dom.
Holding it necessary to put an
end to the indefiniteneSs of the
states organization, remembering
the unanimous and rapturous ap-
prevail of the republican idea ex-
pressed at the Moscow state con-
ference, the provisional government
declares that the constitutional or
ganization, according to which the
Russian state is ruled, is repub-
lican organization, and it hereby is
proclaimed the Russian republic"

on productive public works to put idle men to work

Must Always Repeat

Must Always Repeat
IT was Mr.. Strawn's contention
L that the end of the slump is in
sight. He feels SatiSf1ed-no, more
than satisfied; he is enthusiastic
about carrying on business in the
same old way. And to make his
case for standpatism, he pointed out
that periods of depression are a
regular experience of the American
community. He identified at least a
dozen cycles since 1887.
81 can not predict" said Mr..
Strawn, when we shall evolve out
of our present economic condition.
But when we look backward and see
that III the past we always have
come out of depression and gone
on to greater prosperity, am con-
fldent that we shall repeat our past
experience. I believe that there al
ready are encouraging signs on the
horizon
Mr.. Strawn's guess is as good as
that of anybody else. His logic is
open to question. 1t is not inevi-
tably true that past recovery indi-
Gates beyond question present cure.
One might go. through pneumonia
seven times successfully and die of
the eighth attack.
Turn About Is Fair Play
DUT even if one grants the
ID premise and agrees that some
how, some time we shall scramble
out of the valley, the picture which
Mr.. Strawn presents is something
less than enticing.
A system which breaks down ev-
cry seven or eight years hardly
can be presented as the last word in
efficiency. One would not choose
an automobile if it had that same
tendency to sputter and go dead at
unexpected moments.
Everything that Mr.. Strawn has
said can be used and ought to be
used as an argument for new and
more radical economic experimental

should live through the same series
of years of feast and years of
famine that our grandfathers knew.
I would not have my son exposed
to this terror nor his children after
him. Some method of sterilization
is essential, and Mr.. Strawn sug-
gests none at all.
If there were some sort of evening
up, then complaint might be less
bitter. If the men who benefited by
the years of prosperity played turn
about and took the hardest part Of
the pinch, there might be certain
democracy of experience. But every
body knows this is not true.
never have been able to weep my
eyes out over the case of the rich
man who must scrabble through
with only two motor cars in hard
times and sell his yacht.
AS things have been, prosperity
never goes to the foot of the table,
not even in the most piping times.

Modern Maiden's Hands
Larger Than Ancestors

The hands of the women of today
are they larger than the hands of
their grandmothers? There is no ex-
position of old-style costume, says the
Matin of Paris, which does not reveal,
at least by the diminutive gloves,
the exquisite smallness of our femi-
nine predecessors, both living and ex-
tinct Few women of this generation,
moreover, are able to wear the we'd
ding rings, the other rings or brace
lets of their ancestors. 81
One is able to conclude, certainly,
that these souvenirs of the past were
chosen in accordance with the fashion
and requirement, and not merely curl
GUS legacies left to us as something
most precious and most rare.
1t would be only honesty, rather, to
avow that the activity of modern
women has done away with much Of
the delicate slenderness Of former
times. The hand which controls the
flying machine and which yields the
racket and the oar cannot, Of course,
remain as small and graceful as the
one which had but to hold handker-
chief of lace.

Water Held in Fallen
~ Leaves Stops Erosion

The blanket of leaves from one
years leaf fall In the forest may weigh
more than a ton an acre. says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Federal forest service investi-
gators find that heavy litter is capa-
Bile of holding vast amounts Of water
and slowing up the run-off which with
out the protecting blanket would
quickly erode the soil. olec
In studying the protective value Of
leaf litter and the result Of its re-
moyal by fire or other agency, investi-
gators found that the 1880 fall Of dry
leaves, gathered up on half acre of
pine-Oak forest at the Bent Greek eX-
detrimental forest near Asheville, N.
O., weighed 1900 pounds, oven dry
weight. Accumulated dry leaves and
litter on the tract previous to the first
cleanup weighed FIVE and one-half
tons to the acre, dry weight. From
two to three years are required for
decomposition of the litter, and a
heavy blanket of leaves is thus nor
mally present on the area. AS con-
sequence Of removal Of the ground
cover for this study, erosion set in
on the area, although the rainfall was
unusually slight.

Spoil.Sports

You will find them wherever you go.
There is no escaping them. They re-
joice in their unpleasantness. They
cannot enjoy what is going on, and
they won't let anyone else have any
enjoyment if they can help it.
What is one to do with such impos-
sible people?
Sending them to Coventry Is a very
good way, but these unpleasant indl-
viduals have a knack of being imper-
vious to snubs and cold shoulders.
Turn your back upon them, and round
they come on the other side.
1 am inclined to think that the best
method is to ignore them. If you
keep 1t up long enough, and prevent
these spoil-sports getting their way,
they give in eventually. In the long
run, they cannot stand it. And they
turn elsewhere to work off their little
nuisances. ... ... ...

how Objectionable they are.-London
