scraper. was periodically struck and
shattered by Insurgent sky raiders. Other
American losses included either outright
destruction or confiscation of property,
such as occurred in Barcelona. Nego-
tiations covering commercial debts will
ramify back to 1885 and those concerned
with reparations will embrace the period
from July, 1886, to date.
Premier Negin's Communication on
the subject indicates that Republican
Spain is actuated by practical idealism.
1t frankly desires, by demonstration
OF good faith, not only to fulfill interna-
tional financial obligations, but to pave
the way for future close political and
commercial relations with the United
States. That is an exhibition of en-
hghtened self-interest that commends
itself unreservedly to the American peo-
pie. With the shining exception of Fin
land, and, latterly, of Hungary, European
respect for honest debts-government
debts-is something new under the Yam
kee sun. Since the British four years ago
ceased token" payments on their sub
sequently repudiated $4,000 900 I. o,
u, there has been no sign of a trans
Atlantic rush toward Uncle Sans till.
So war-racked Spain sets meritorious
example. The circumstance that Valen-
cia, still commanding an estimated gold
reserve Of several hundred million dollars,
supposedly in safekeeping at Paris and
London, can afford to square Spanish
accounts over here in no wise detracts
from the worthiness of the settlement
about to be initiated.
Perhaps it is not an inappropriate
occasion to say to our British and French
friends: GO thou and do likewise" 1t
occurs to many Americans in these times
that London and Paris statesmen, at an
international moment which finds them
craving the good will of our Government
and people, are strangely lacking in the
wit to realize that there would be no
surer way to the American taxpayers
heart than for them to come across
across the Treasury counter at WASH
ington. Valencia gives them a useful
hint.

You could not blame Mrs. Hyte for no.

You could not blame Mrs. Hyte for not

Tigey is the cat that was locked up in
the attic when his folks moved.
He lived off bird seed for awhile.
A cat which has never been known to
molest birds, he could not quite make out
what these new creatures might be-
Probably it was the first time in his
short life that he had ever seen or heard
chickens.
He moved slightly toward the bantam
pair.
Mr.. Hyte commenced his counter blast,
which would have settled the matter, If
Mrs. Hyte had remained STILL
Believing as she does that discretion
is much the better part OF valor, she
rose into the air and flew over the flower
bed.
1t was too much for Tigey.
In pursuit he ran, but Mrs. Hyte was
in no danger whatever, if she had known
1t.
Her flying was too goodl

Away went Mrs. Hyte over the flowers,
hitting the ground every 20 feet or So
from which vantage point she took off
Immediately for another flight.
Mr.. Hyte was making throaty noises
beating his wings with mighty beats. .
Mrs. Hyte had completely disappeared
into her own yard
Tlgey looked around with a puzzled
expression, as if wondering what all the
row was about.
1t was the owl, however, which COM
pletely unnerved Mrs. Hyte.
The goggle-eyed bird was seated or
branch of a locust tree
He was not very high, perhaps Is feet
The time was am.
Fresh and dewey was the suburban
world that morning, when Mr. and Mrs
Hyte strutted and glided across the street
Their objective was the bird feeder
beneath the maple, but they never got
there.
The owl must have made a move which
attracted their attention
Fowls and owls do not like each other
The owl did not say, evidently, Just
"Whoo-oo," but something which i'm
pressed the Hyte. family as being dam
gerously near to Saying:
You look as If you would make q
pretty good breakfast, you two"
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyte lost no time in
leaving.
Both of them ran, this time, but not
for long, in the center of the street
they took off.
Mrs. Hyte's flying is incomparably the
better.
Her glide takes her places, whereas
the flying of Mr.. Hyte is rather clumsy
Both of them got home safely. however

flew away at once, and has never beer

LIFE MEANS HUMAN BEINGS.

The men and women who make up the
population of the world in which we live
are rot saints and, unless we are badly
mistaken. they are not sinners.
Every individual, man or woman, has
some good qualities. However, all of them
do not possess the same good traits and,
luckily, they do not have the same bad
ones.
In every person there is something to
admire and. likewise, in every individual
something to disapprove No Judgment
along this line, however, viii be the unani-
nous verdict of mankind but each person
viii be influenced by his or her own val
uation of human traits in attempting an
appreciation of another human being
Admitting for the sake of argument
that every individual as some goodness
there is no reason to be surprised at its
exhibition occasionally. Knowing that
every human being is imperfect there is
no cause for alarm when human conduct
misses the goal of perfection.
Great teachers, whether they deal
with boys and girls or men and women
understand this and seldom resort to UNI
due praise of expected goodness or slip
into angry denunciation of expected bad
ness. They busy themselves expanding
the field of truth and permitting others to
share their advanced progress. In time
they set the pace sess
1t is not given to all of US to be great
teachers but it is within the province of
every person to keep an eye out for the
goodness that SO abundantly lives about US
in the lives of other people and to see that
we attend to the main task before us, the
improvement of ourselves by the develop
ment of our higher possibilities.

we discover convincing proof that we
are in the midst of a movement
whose goal is militant syndicalism.
Syndicalism is little known in this
country. II is a familiar term in Eu-
rope.
The labor movement promoted and
directed by John L. Lewis carries
with it very strong evidence that its
purpose is to establish militant syndi-
calism in this country.
In France. militant syndicalism is
represented by the Confederation
General du Travail" This is the type
of organization promoted by Lewis.
This is the group Of socialists that
now dominate the French govern

the chief means used in getting con-
troll of the government.

ment of class war. "Syndicalism and

the policy is to incite class war. Their
theory is that violent revolution can
come only BY arousing class feeling.
They avoid all compromise with the
economic royalists." Fight to the
death is their slogan. Make use of the
weapons Of terrorism and frightful-
ness as a means of breaking down OPP
position. Brighten society by threats
of paraIyzing all business activities
through the .ssitting-down strike" BY
such radical means, syndicaIists strive
to get control of all industries and
become the dictators of society.
In promoting this radical move
rnent. il would seem that there is a
clearly defined division of labor. To
Lewis has been given the task OF or
ganizing and directing the -.rmy. To
Others has been given the function of
stirring up and developing class
feeling and class hatred against the
economic royalists. who are painted
in horrible colors as the exploiters
of the masses of the people. anC the
deadly enemies of general welfare.
Their violent hostility TO the lead
ers of business may be explained by
the fact that the business leaders
make VI the only group that is fight
ing. that is giving the radicals serious
trouble. They have little trouble with
the politicians. Few politicians have
any convictions as long as the pay
checks from the government are COM
ing in. Farmers will giee them no
trouble as long as the gifts from the
government come in on time. The
crowd will support them as long as
the loaves and fishes last. The rank
and file of the preachers viii remain
inactive as long as the taxpayers
money is distributed in abundance as
charity; and the leaders preach hui
manitarianism in voices THAT choke
with maudlin sentimentality. The
school people are too stupidity igno-
rant of the great world of reality to
know what it is all about" AS long
as they have assurances that they will
get more money for education" they
will endorse the movement There
are many exceptions in all these
groups. but the numbers are not
large enough to make resistance eff
fective.
The great responsibility of protect

has been transferred by unusual and
untoward conditions from Washing
