Bonar Law, replying for the British goverri- ment, answered that the question was one which did not concern Great Britain. A member of the United States senate intro- duced an amendment to the peace treaty reserva- tions, favoring self-determination for Ireland and the right of Ireland to have a government of its own choice. The senate adopted the amendment. The House of Commons went on record against one nation interfering with the domestic affairs of another nation. The United States senate went on record in favor of one nation interfering with the domestic affairs of another nation, Which is the proper way of conducting foreign relations? INCREASED PRODUCTION All authorities seem to be agreed that prices can never come down nor the “cost of living” be stabilized until greater production can be ob- tained. It is a truism, repeated from coast to coast by bankers, business men, economists and statesmen that “you can’t divide more than you produce”— that the only remedy for present shortages of goods and consequent high prices is more work. The capitalist says that the laborer by demand- ing shorter hours and more pay for less work is the cause of loss of production. But the worker says he cannot give the same amount of work for the old wages because the old wages will not en- able him to live. What is the remedy? Undoubtedly more work is-needed—more production is needed. On the other hand, it is undoubtedly better for human- ity as a whole that workers live at a higher level than the mere “existence” plane. There is one way to do both things. That way is to use machinery more and men less. The av- erage plant is idle two-thirds of the time. This is a machine age. Captains of industry have the responsibility for using machinery more intensively. Less work for men; more for ma- chinery, looks like the solution of the problem of production. CONTENTMENT “There’s nothing like being contented!” Man said that, Then: \ When he got up in the morning he grumbled about the weather and about his breakfast. He had to hurry for a car, or wait for it. Whichever it was, he grumbled. He glowered at the conductor. Something he read in the newspaper annoyed him. He was splashed with mud when he got off the car, or just escaped it. Either way, he was vexed. He glowered at the others when he reached his office. He grumbled at the telephone service. At lunch the waiters seemed to be at the call of ev- eryone except himself. The weather causes more grumbling than any- thing else, in spite of the fact that all the grumb- ling won’t change it in the least. But many grumble no less at a hundred other things they are no less powerless to correct. Life is full of vexations which couldn’t be smothered out even in the millennium. Content- ment is refusing to be annoyed at what can’t be helped. But how many recognize that? Most of us are more disturbed by trifles than by an approach of death itself. When the last day comes, and a hush falls over all, it won’t last more than a minute. It will be broken by a my- riad demands of “Who you shoving?” and “Get off my foot!” Then the man who grumbles about the weather will say, “So this is the end of the world! What @ poor day for it!” AMERICAN LABOR “Labor is one of the great elements of! society —the great substantial interest upon which we all stand. Not feudal service, or predial toil, or the irksome drudgery by one race of mankind sub- jected to another, but labor, manly, intelligent, independent, thinking and acting for itself, earn- ing its own wages, accumulating those wages into napital, educating childhood, maintaining wor- ship, claiming the right of elective franchise, and helping to uphold the great fabric of the state. That is American labor, and all my sympathies are with it, and my voice, till I am dumb will be for it.” " Hear! Hear! When Daniel Webster spoke those words, he “said a mouthful!” He so spoke many years ago, but what he said then holds good now. The world may be a bit off its balance just now. But after the shaking down of the great 'basket in which capital and labor seem all mixed up together, all sides probably will agree that Webster was right, and that without satisfied, contented, home-loving and home-enjoying labor the world wags but ill. As Thomas Brackett Reed once put it: “What seemed the great primeval curse, that in the sweat of his face should man eat bread, has been found, in the wider view of the great cycles of the Almighty, to be the foundation of all sound hope, all sure progress and all permanent | Hasten the return of that day! THAT’S PEP! If you’re the sort of a fellow who can jump out of bed, prance around and hum a bit of a tune to yourself, when the alarm clock bangs off in the early morning— That’s pep! If you are given to crossing streets and can dodge about and escape a million autos a day— and still keep a smile on your face— That’s pep! If you can drop from your humble slumbers at 13 P. X. in the dark hours of night and cheer- fully walk the croupy baby on a kitchen to parlor marathon— ’ That’s pep! If you can breeze into your work-a-day job early and keep plugging away in spite of crabby folk in the office and other little impediments— That’s pep! Oh, joyous day! Now everybody can pass the buck to the labor board. So far, no seller of good alcohol has been found guilty of murder in the first degree. “Many an article, telling how to keep a husband, is written by one who, hasn’t yet got one. The move to abolish full dress suits is sensible. Why should one wear a full dress suit when he can’t get full? - No wonder Marshall advocates freedom of speech. It’s about the only privilege left to a vice president. Speculation is the game in which one hundred suckers pool their capital in order to make some wise boy a millionaire. | According to Nitti, conquered and conquerors must be made one. The division of spoils almost | accomplished that purpose. That scorpion adopted by a California girl has been expurgated. That is, the harmful sting has been removed from its tail. Germany says her troops have left the Ruhr valley. Now all that remains is for France to say that hers have withdrawn also. A Massachusetts factory allows its workers chatting periods. Now if somebody would pro- vide working periods for chronic chatterers. The supreme council has decided to let Italy and Jugo-Slavia settle their differences by diplo- macy. Diplomacy, you understand, plus poetry.

Barlow, Organizer of “World War Veterans” is Conscientious Objector, Rec- | ords Show, Is Working for League and Socialists Now Lester F, Barlow, a protege of the Nonpartisan league and the socialist party, is having just as many dif ties in South Dakota and other sta as he encountered in North Dakota when he attempted to defile and be- little the American legion before the special session, of the North Dakota | legislature. ‘Barlow, as may be remembered, pos- [ed as the organizer of the World War veterans, an organization in no way connected with the American legion, and came to Bismarck when the special session was sitting. He organized the first unit of the ‘World War veterans in North Dakota while there, succeeded in getting ten or j twelve former service men interested, and after launched a lic-fiiled vervat attack on the legion before the legis- iature, departed. Recently, Barlow. has ‘been operat- ing in South Dakota and Iowa, spread- ing propaganda for the ‘Nonpartisan league and the socialist party. He is declared to have said in a speech at Aberdeen that the National Ser- vice party was to be organized in Towa on May 15 and that is would “put the Iowa farm bureau federa- tion “out of business.” ‘The farm bureau federation is one of the strong- est farmers organizations in the mid- dle west and has not taken kindly to the Nonpartisan league, hence Bar- low’s threat. In connection with Barlow's activi- ties in South Dakota, the following from the Aberdeen ‘News is of in- terest to former service men in this section, who were unable to under- stand how a man who served in the army could make the statements Bar- low made before the ‘North Dakota legislatur “The latest information on Lester P.

But that may have been because he did not realize that American soldiers and Villa’s men do not wage war on the]. same lines. It may be even, that Mr. Barlow felt that he could do more for his country is he could develop ‘and sell to that country at a comfortabvle profit the depth bomb for use against submaries which he claims to have invented, and which he said, in his speech at Aldrich park recently, that the government used. “But all this is merely speculation; it matters not why Barlow happened not to engage actively in. the war as a soldier, but it is quite interesting, although possibly not of great impor- tance, to find that he is not eligible to membership, and is not a member, of the original world war veterans organized on the ‘battlefields of France.

I often had terrible dizzy spells, and everything would turn dark before me and 1 would have to hold of anything to keep from falling. The lumbago had, me in terrible shape and I was so badly drawn it was sim- ply impossible for me to walk erect. Sometimes it would come on me so bad while I was sitting down I could not move and they would have to put .me to bed. The rheumatism was all over me and every bone in my body hurt all the time, and I Was so stiff I could hardly use my limbs. In fact I was in such pain and misery night and day for the past six months 1 could hardly get about and most of the time I spent in bed. ‘ “My wife had been insisting on my trying Tanlac, so 1 had her get me a bottle and began to feel better. As I continued taking it I kept on improv- ing until now I am entirely. relieved of stomach trouble and my kidneys are in good condition. The lumbago is all gone and I seldom feel the slightest touch of rheumatism. Why, I can run up two steps at a time and bend around at my work in any posi- tion without the least effort.
