Just they're being betrayed in the house of

are finding it isn't true. The days are dark out

They weep and they wail-and they threaten.

picture the President of the United States gets for
a years work. It's really very bad indeed In fact
it's just too bad.
But it is cheering to observe the philosophical
manner in which their hardship is being accepted by
some of the rich One great and generous soul (who
shall be nameless) while announcing his purpose to
take his money and move to New York or Florida or
somewhere, voices this profound truth:
The state is so great and so rich that it will
easily sustain the loss The great misfortune falls

EMOTION IS NOT ENOUGH

THREE hundred organizations are at work in the

peace.
They range from church societies and women's

sponsored by a manufacturer of medicines. This
firm also is financing an attempt to collect sigma
lures through $1,000 drug stores, for monster
peace petition
In 1914 enthusiasm for peace was just as general
it is today, and determination that this country
should remain neutral was just as firm.
The day after Germany declared war the Central
Federated Union demanded in New York that the
American Federation of Labor hold mass meetings
to protest against Socialists held the first of
many nti-mtarist" mass meetings in Union
Square
The Pope called on Catholic churches through
out the world to pray for peace, and on the first
Sunday after the outbreak New York churches of
all denominations held special peace services.
President Wilson called on Americans to keep
their heads SO as to produce a state of mind that
would enable this country to help the rest of the
world" and the United States Senate adopted
resolution dedcang itself ito the principles of peace
and good will among men"
Most spectacular of peace demonstrs lions was
staged by women in New York. A monster
parade was arranged with the women dressed in
mourning protest against war. Among it's first
sponsors were Lillian Valid, Frances Perkins, Har-
riet Stanton Blatch, and DR.. Anna Howard Shaw.
The list sweled into Committee of One Hundred.

If the peace and neutrality policy of the Ameri-

more enduring than mere emotion. 1t must be
grounded on the cold hard fact that war bankrupts

THE A. F. Of L. has gone on record for consttu-
tional amendment broadening the power Of
Congress to enact social and economic legislation
Federal court in Illinois has held the Farm Bank
ruptcy Act unconstitutional. The Supreme Court
awaits briefs on the consttutionality of the Agrcul-
tural Adjustment Act.
Link those three things together in your mind
and watch how they develop
Right after the Schechter decision, liberalization
of the Constitution loomed as the dominant issue of
the 1886 campaign. Then interest in it languished
to the point where the conservative leaders of the
A. F. of L. thought they would bury it in pigeon
hole But successful revolt of rank-and-fle dele
gates from the convention floor in Atlantic City
proved there still life in the issue.
Whether this issue will gain in vigor and support
depends principally the decisions handed down
this winter by the Supreme Court. The progressive
labor forces alone have not the political strength to
swing it. But others besides those interested in hours
and wages will be drawn into the battle if the high
court invalidates the Farm Bankruptcy Act and
the AAA.
The farmers Of the country are conservative lot.
But they are apt to take to the warpah for change
in the Federal charter if the Supreme Court ever
tells them that Federal protection which extends to
bankrupt corporations can not be extended to bank
rupt farms and that the government which protects
industries with tariffs can not protect farmers with
compensatory benefits.
And to the growing ranks others likely to join
if invalidaton Of the Cufey Coal Control Law causes
the bituminous industry to founder the Gripping of
IVA strengthens the monopoly of the power indus
try and the notification of the Wagner collective
bargaining law leaves labor with no place to go ex-
cept the picket line.
We do not actually believe that the Supreme Court
will hand down such decisions. But since such de-
cisions devouy wished for by conservatives who
also oppose any change in the Constitution it may
be worth while to remind them that SNOWFALL roll
ing downhi grows in size and gains in momentum

LULL BEFORE THE STORM?
Welcome home, Mr.. President.

DREMIER STANLEY BALDWINs speech before
the House of Commons yesterday was of
the most ominous utterances by British statesman
in good many years 1t almost as important
to America to Britain.
Troubled times lie ahead, he warned And he
left little doubt in any ones mind that what he
meant the possibility of another conflict So
with almost breath-takng speed he dissolved Par
lament as of next Friday and called for national
election scant three weeks away.
And the issue? National rearmament-despte
the League, despite the Briand-Kellogg pact, despite
the 749400o casualties who got that way between
1914 and 1919 fighting to abolish and ornaments
"A ull in international affairs seems to have
arrived" he explained significantly, whereas if we
postponed the election until January we might find
the country facing more difficult time than today"
Britain, he urged, must proceed to make herself
strong so she cope with whatever may happen.
Not that she will rearin from selfish motives. But
she must be able to help the League battle for peace
and for mankind.
A GAINST the background of this sinister sound
ing statement of British policy, it was stimuli
taneously announced that a world naval
ference is being called for early December to meet
at London.
Under the circumstances, the conference seems
doomed from the start The new British Parlia-
ment elected on rearmament platform, will be
opened by the king, probably the very same week
The Conservatives-barring miracle-will be fresh
ly in the saddle for another five years. That means
the big navy" crowd will have everything pretty
much their own way.
A perilous naval race seems inevitable. The
United States proposes a feet somewhere the
size of Britain's and Japan stubbornly insists upon
parity, at least with this country.
What a commentary upon mankind and gov
ernments! Less than Is years from the end of the

THINKS COMPETITION MUST
BE ABOLISHED.

BY a Social Evolutionist.
May we anticipate that wise dis
tribution of gains, cited as evidence
of industrial recovery in the diYi-
dend and profit margins, or is it
more reasonable to expect business
leadership to grab more immediate
profits, even though that would
cripple future gain?
All the gain made thus far in
business improvement is directly
due to government spending In
creases in sales to the farm groups
are due to processing tax benefits.
Where will the professors be if the
processing tax is declared void by
the Supreme Court?
All business is carried on for
profit of the stockholders; can we
then expect normal business leaders
to go into reverse and start putting
more into the pay envelopes as pur-
chasing power, or will they go along
on the old track? Why get funny
about that?
Business is not a Communistic
undertaking. There are no set rules
for business to use as a guide to
intelligent self-preservation. If we
insist on competitive business, We
must be willing to pay for useless

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
= BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

MO writer of popular fiction has facie
pen than Kathleen Norris and no one can
make respectable poverty sound alluring the
simple life so worthwhile.
But it would be a grand thing if the formula
for such tales she turns out, and which girls
read avidly could be little consistent with
reality. Why take such pains to see that every
heroine gets millionaire in the last chapter?
Mrs. Norris most recent story, Shining Win
dows' concerns nice father whose children have
almost been ruined by too much money. Then he
loses everything. They move to an abandoned ranch
house in California, where everybody pitches in to do
the work; the girls cook roasts, bake cakes, dry
prunes, and get rosy cheeks by falling into bed each
night at to sleep the sleep of the industrious.
Heroine Joyce is a pleasant, lovahle person en-
gagged to a rich young man. She goes to visit his
people and finds that the pleasure loving, cocktail
drinking crowd of other days bores her; she can't
abide the frivolity and inanty of their existence
Returning home she discovers she is really in love
with the hired man, who has been about the place
for years and is fine gentleman if ever there was
s. far, so good. That would seem to be the place
to leave them. Joyce loves Michael; both love the
simple life of the ranch enjoying the COWS. the
chickens and the sunsets. Wouldn't you think that
would be enough? But no! Virtue must have
better reward than this So the hired turns out
to be an English peer with vast fortune
Now the purpose behind all this is commendable
since it desires to prove that character is built
through adversely and that until We learn dis
cipline and self-control wisdom will not be ours
But when the novests let every Cinderella marry
a Prince Charming with fortune, the moral
significance of their teaching is lost Happiness is
to be found in simple, wholesome living; why then
do not the story writer's let their heroes and herones
be satisfied with it?
