porter back to the middle states.
Five governors, we see by the pa
pers this week, are asking for
just such a setup as we advocat-

any rate, it's a mortal cinch that
until something of the kind is done
the farming industry is doomed to
a series of long, lean years.

the core, but unfortunately, a great
deal of the stuff they read about for
eign affairs is propaganda cooked up
for them by internationalists in our
own country who are interested pri-
marily in Europe.
The debt question is good example.
How many times we have been told
that cancellation would be a good
thing for the United States, and that
failure to cancel will end in our econo-
mic ruin! Yet anyone who will take
the trouble to study such propaganda
will be Immediately struck by it's nom
sense.
Fortunately there seems to be no
disposition at present on the part of
the new administration at Washington
to change the policy of the Hoover
administration which was strictly
against cancellation. Internationalists
in our own country and abroad who
thought that change of administra-
ton might bring cancellation seems
doomed to disappointment. Any pro-
posal for such cancellation would be
marked by real protest from every
part of the country.

THE SOUND MONEY"
PLEDGE

The political situation inside Con-
gress and out has developed far
enough to indicate that one of the
principal issues in the congressional
campaign next year will be the Dem
ocratic platform of 1882. The Repub-
licans will seek to point out, in fact
are already beginning it, that the
party of the administration has for
gotten some of the promises made in
the campaign last year.
One of the principal planks in the
Democratic platform, it will be re-
membered, was one again confirming
the party in the faith of sound money.
Already the proponents of the social
ed administration initiation bill in Con-
gress are being reminded that the ma
jority party is in danger of forgetting
its pledge to the people to maintain
sound money. The reminders are
coming not only from Republican
statesmen but from some of those
high in the councils of the Democratic
party.
Surely it cannot be seriously main
tanned that if the provisions of the
Thomas bill are carried out we will
continue to have sound money. The
bill, which is an amendment to the
farm relief" measure, authorizes the
President to put into effect several
kinds of imitation, and if all the pro-
visions were invoked there can be no
doubt that we will have something in
circulation which would not conform
to current ideas of sound money and
100-cent dollars.
Some friends of the administration
declare that President Roosevelt will
not put the provisions into effect un-

THEY HIRED THE MONEY!

A news dispatch from Wilmington,
Delaware, not long ago, stated that
visitors to that city were attracted by
the large blue and white signboards
at every entrace to the city, proclaim
ing the memorable reply of the late
President Coolidge to question about
the European war debts. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Coolidge said:
''They hired the money, didn't they?"
and nobody has been able to think up
any satisfactory and convincing ans
wer save the simple word eyes"
The signs at Wilmington contain in
large letters these simple words of the
late President and nothing more. 1t is
said that Paul c. Hessler, prominent
business man of Wilmington, had the
signs erected. In commenting on his
enterprise, Mr.. Fessler is quoted as
saying:
81 erected the signs not only as a
memorial to the late Calvin Coolidge,
of whom I was a great admirer and
with whom I agreed but because l de-
plore the nonchalance with which the
American citizen looks upon national
issues. l hoped in some small way to
do my part to make the American
people think.
Il think his statement was one OF
the greatest of great American and
| think it should settle the debt ques-
ton. I feel that when America is in
worse financial condition than its
debtor countries, as | have personally
observed, those countries should be
made to pay their debts to penny.
Why when these countries can build
war vessels for millions of dollars,
can they not pay their honest debts
to American"
Mr.. Hessler's statement certainly
bears repeating and his aim is
worthy one. Certainly it is that the
American people do not pay any too
much attention to the study of for
eign affairs. Ninety-eight per cent
of them are soundly nationalistic to

MOTHERS DAY, MAY 14TH-

The great events of this world are
not revolutions, and economic confer
ences and banking reforms. The great
events of this world are babies.
The most important people in this
world are not soldiers, and statesmen
and bankers. The most important
people in this world are mothers, who
are called upon to bring into eXis-
tence new generation.
So it is fitting that on Mothers
Day we honor mothers. 1t is even
more fitting that on this day we
should take steps to make mother
hood safe for them, as it is agreed by
leading authorities that at least half
the 10000 women who annually die
in childbirth could be saved by ade-
quate maternity care.
A meeting aimed to help remedy the
situation is scheduled to be held in
New York City tomorrow, with Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt as principal
speaker. A number of outstanding
medical authorities and educational
leaders are to be on the program.
Emphasis is to be placed on two I'M
portant steps to be taken, First, peo-
ple should understand that much de-
ponds on the choice OF the doctors, and
select one known to have had expert
ence in maternity cases. After select
ing him, parents must trust his Judg-
ment and not try to prevail upon him
to make painless process which can
not always be made free from pain
without increasing the risk of infec-
ton and other undesirable cOmplica-
tons. Second, if hospital is chosen,
it should be one of high Standard
such as those approved by the Ameri-
can College of Surgeons, for despite
the fact that each year finds more
women going to hospitals, there is
corresponding decrease in the mortal
ity rate. In fact, many authorities
belive it is safer for a woman to have
her baby at home, if conditions there
are suitable, unless the mothers con-
dition requires special care.
The Maternity Center Association
of New York, which is sponsoring the
Mothers Day meeting, has made a
notable contribution to knowledge of
what adequate maternity care can do
to save mothers lives. Among 4726
women under their care over period
of eight years in a certain section of
New York City, the death rate was
reduced two-thirds.

less it becomes absolutely necessary.
They maintain that the administra-
ton had the bill introduced to head OF
schemes for mandatory initiation. No
body has yet been able, however, sat
isfactCrily to answer the question of
why, if they are not to be put into use,
the infationary measures are neces-
sary. The President could have head
ed off the infationists anyhow by We
toing any bills of the kind which
might have been enacted.
Some political students have ad-
vanced the view that the President
wants the power so that he can deal
more effectively with European Dip
lomats in working out scheme of
stable international finance. 1t is
earnestly to be hoped that this is the
best guess on the situation.

Great excitement was raised in
Gormania one day last week when

turned to his home here, which was

when you tell me, Joe, that
Timoney's trying to muscle in
on our flour racket-theye's only
one thing to be done, and we
gotta do it quick. We gotta beat
him to the punch before he hits
us. And I want you to get him
first, and never mind the small

the Timoney outfit will fade

That's all, fellers. Joe'll take

you, Joe?"
The five men arose. Four of
them walked into the corridor
through Sam Ganto's private,
connecting door. Only Joe lin
gered for a moment. He leaned
over Ganto's desk.
IF things get hot, boss" he
said, don't lose your nerve. Re-.
member what I say, boss. Don't

And he walked out. ..
For fully five minutes after
Joe had gone, Sam Ganto sat
rigid in his chair. Over and
over again that phrase of Joe's
rang through his mind. Don't
lose your nerve. don't lose
your nerve. don't lose your

So Joe was wise to him; wise
to the fact that, when danger
threatened, Sam Ganto was a
coward. He talked big. Surely
he did. But deep down, that
heart of his could jump at a
furious rate. Of late, he had
noticed Joe looking at him curl
ouSly on several occasions. He
hadn't quite understood. Now
he knew.
Suddenly, Sam pounded his
fists together. What difference
if he was a trifle nervous? Was
he going to give up all this
just because Joe had told him
his nerves were not built of
iron? Was he going to sacrifice
everything because of a fear
that he could easily stifle? Was
he going back to the handling
OF those dreaded flour sacks in
the mill where he had worked
before his inspiration of max.

had hated so cordially?
