Instead of pulverizing power it is now big business ills of mankind. casteae Acti e ao teen The rat's and the man out of work. ‘The farmer, because in war readjustment, his prod- ucts are at the beginning of things, the basis of re vised prices. No one denies he is being temporarily pinched. Everyone is more than willing to grant all possible help to restore his economic status to de- served prosperity. The man out of employment, the laborer, is in somewhat the same predicament. Eco- nomic law governs the one, the law of supply and de- mand the other. Time only can restore these two im- portant interests to the condition of good fortune we them to enjoy. oe thle seeking advantage in the misfortunes of the people, and unfortunate circumstances produced by world events over which we equid have no possible control, that disgusts every honest citizen with the non-partisan league and its methods. The league thrives only upon calamity. Its promises ure prepos- terous and unreasonable, in the light of its own his- tory, and no person of information takes the league or its theories seriously. Sa TAKES A HAND. : Your uncle Warren Harding is not devoid of diplo- macy. Coming, as he Goes, from a country where such things are taught in both day school and Sunday school, it is to be expected that the lessons have been ef more or less profit. It is seen in the White House dinners he is giving to the senate and house leaders and the leaders of the old guard and farm bloc fac- tions of the majority party. The object is plain and commendable. It is to recon- cile the differences of the several factions as to legis- lution and smooth the way for its passage through the two houses. And in an effort like this, the president 4s particularly skillful and in most cases successful. So to speak, the two houses have been running loose with divisions and sub-divisions and with no apparent cohesion of the majority. It is a congressional phase that hag been known before and in the present case a passing of leadership from one section of the country to another, from the east to the west. The president with his acknowledged ability in con- ciliation will sooth ruffled feelings and soften rough spots and present a working program that will be wel- comed. The passing of old leaders and the disagreement of the newer ones has disturbed the ordinarily even t the rich and near rich,| league and its| | Wall Street and the money) that is blamed for all the| tt exploitation, however, | cannot be paid. ‘Assvciated Editor | | by may or may not get $75,000. m with its ranting sppeal | ; | fected, a compromise which checks the drain that an umperslistic naval competition would entail and which eluminates the disorders produced by indemnities that America could afford to-take an ac- uve part in the consolidation of European peace and prosperity, in so far as American claims upon the a | sea governments represent a crushing burden upon the ailed peoples America might properly be expected to entertain proposais for tneir remission. in th: meantime it is just as well that congress refuses to entertain such proposals. There is no advantage in taking the attitude of a lenient creditor towards na- | tions whose policies, national and international, are carrying them remorselessly toward bnkruptcy. Eu- rope will have to try in gogd faith to put her own house in order if she wishes her difficulties to receive sympathetic attention from the United States.” ———$— BASEBALL PLAYERS’ SALARIES. “Baseball, accorting to some of the conservative managers of the game,” opines the Chicago News, “is so far from returning to normalcy as to be well on tne rosd to lunacy. “For instance, the New York National league club is reported to have paid $120,000 to the Cincinnati club for the privilege of using the services of Heime Grob. Other major league clubs have paid $76,000, $40,000 and $20,000, respectively, for the might to sign contracts with certain promising but not thor- oughly tested players in the minor leagues. “eading of the extravagant sums their managers | are paying for these young stars of the minor leagues, the big fellows of the major leagues perk up and de- mand larger salaries, ‘Babe’ Ruth asks for $86,000 for next season, $50,000 from his own club and $6,000 each from the seven other clubs in the league whose parks he visits during the summer. Rogers Hornsby, one of the hard hitters of the Sts Louis Nationals, thinks he cannot be satisfied with less than $75,000 fox his services in 1922, ‘Habe’ Ruth, to use a baseball phrase, certainly does pull money in through the gate, and, in a way, may be worth $85,000 to the club of his league. But if the officials of the league should order less rubber in the ball next year, and therefore less resilence, the Bambino’s home run might be less frequent and his drawing power accordingly diminished. “Ruth may or may not get his $85,000, and Horns- If they do it will be difficult to explain on any rational grounds why base- all players should draw such salaries while the chief justice of the United States is paid only $16,006 a year.” “A southern farmers’ organizaticn has made the proposition,” asserts the New York Commercial, “that the war debt due the American government by the allied nations, amounting to some $10,000,000,000, be cancelled both as to principal and interest on condi- tion that the sums due this government for loans dur- ing the world war be invested by these governments in the purchase of American raw agricultural products over a series of years, which products are vitally need- ed for food, raiment and, the restoration of their raanufacturing and commercial industries. “This is an ideal solution, but can hardly be worked} out from a practical standpoint. In effect, our Lib- erty bond holders would have to look to the farmers of the country for reimbursement. These loans to for- eign countries are represented largely by Liberty bonds and our government must zodeem those bonds at maturity. It will mean taxation sufficient to raise £10,000,000,000 besides the intermediate taxation to pay the interest. Therefore, the people of this coun- try must be taxed to buy the crops of the agricultural community so that we can make a present of them to these foreign debtors of ours. This money has been loaned to the government of the United States in the first instance by the purchasers of Liberty honds. There are only two ways that the money can be re- turned to the lenders: One by the payment of princi- pal and interest b> the foreign borrowers and the other vy taxation of our »enple. If this scheme is to be car- ried out, why should it be limited only to agricultural products? Why not lumber, steel and copper? “Tt is a mistaken theory to think that prosperity can be restored by artificial means. It és all well enough to talk of canceling foreign debts, but that cannot be done without the consent of the original lenders, who happen to be the people of the United States who bought Liberty bonds. If these bondholders are will- ing to cancel their bonds, then the scheme will work out. Otherwise the burden will fall upon the people of this country. It will put us in a position of having won the war and then haying to pay a tremendous in- demnity. “The only practical solution is to fund these debts over a long term of years, thus relieving the immedi- ate burden from the European countries and giving them an opportunity to re-establish themselves eco- nomically, in the course of which they must come to us for raw materials and our exports will move for- ward in a natural and orderly fashion. There is no reason why this country should pay for the war. Its expenditures, when it did go into the war, were in ex- eperation of the legislative machine. Out of the conferences with the president will come better things. | Ae FOREIGN INFLUENCE IN AMERICA. | The Detroit Free Press quotes a high school prin-} } cipal of that city when addressing an audience of for-| ’ eign born that foreign born pupils and the children of | } Revolution, the average American will have difficulty} * Schurz and Franklin i.

They have made great inroads, for instance, on the Puritan Sunday, but when the fight was started for a little old- fashioned legislated morality it was not the foreign born element that put over the prohibition amend- ment. “However, Principal Miller’s news is welcome. The pupils of whom he speaks will certainly have a share In the mass the foreign born element has| cess of those of any other country. We are not | whimpering about this, but in return for it we have obtained nothing but the satisfaction of having finally put an end to the struggle. We have no accessions to our territory, no share in the reparations from Ger- many, and got only a temporary hectic prosperity.” —-———__0-_______ SHUT 'EM OUT A GENERATION. “The American Legion asks congress to put a three- year stop to immigration,” observes the Minneapolis Journal. “If three years why not thirty-three years? | A three years’ stop will postpone invasion just three years, whereas a generation’s respite will save the re- public and keep us American. A shorter period will help but of itself will not suffice to save. “Three years’.complete shut-down, as the legion pro- poses, is better than the three per cent seepage al- lowed under the present act. But it is a piece of hand- to-mouth legislation. It allows the European hordes to hope that finally they can bring themselves, their near-Bolshevism, their lower standard of living, their | different psychos over here to work our deterioration, | to make our political functioning more difficult, to | compromise our national loyalty, to augment our ra- | cial and group disintegration, perhaps to encourage in- surrection or to achieve revolution. “If immigration is bad for the next three years, it will be bad for thirty-three. Let the legion go the length of their patriotic impulse and demand that America be kept American for a full generation. We in the government of the United States and their pres- ent diligence is evidence that their share of the work will be well done, They will have their chance to run the country if they can, and if the country lives up to iis ideals it will prove so good for their descend- ants that within a generation or so they will be as much American as any descendant of John Smith and| Pocahontas.” 3 COMPROMISE CONFERENCE NEXT. “What Europe needs worst of all,” suggests the New Republic, “is a conference to hasten the process of compromise which alone can save the continent from general bankruptcy and disorder. Such a conference would no donbt be called to discuss economle and fi- nencial questions, but it would promptly appear that such discussion would amount to nothing until the ma- jor political issues kad been cleared away. The role of America in the political discussion would nec: ily he little more than that of spectator, just as vole of France in the Pacific conference has been that of spectator. “After a workable p: he} political compromise has been ef-| | hope the labor unions will join the legion in the dé- mand. We hope all patriots will now give full tongue to raise such a clamor as congress must heed. | “Not indifference, but negligence, is the defect of our Americanism. When roused to national peril, we are not indifferent at all; but so many demands are made upon attention that we fail to perceive a peril | until the eleventh hour. “The evil is not a transient one to be altered or re- yoked by changing circumstances.

As ex-Gevernor “I hope some day it wil be United lour vocational schoola by Arthur W. |Pettit, secretary of the Western Na- ltiona! Life Insurance company, con- tained some sentiments that may be lof interest to the young men who as- pire to business careers, Mr. Pettit said that @ successful salesinen must be absolutely honest, of good moral character and willing to work.. He must be anxious to serve the public generally and par- ticularly his,clients. He must be in terested in the civic development of the town in which he lives. He should realize that service is the rent we pay for the space we occupy. The man who serves best is the one who has the best excuse for living, and his success will be measured by the service that he renders. If you are looking for an opportunity to do good, and for an occupation that will permit the accomplishment of your desires and which will amply reward you for the energies ynu expend, you should investigate the possibilities offered by the legal reserye life insurance com- panies. It is a law of life that you must give before you can receive and the life insurance profession furnishes a means for the fulfillment of this axiom. It enables you to grow and forces you to realize that what you know is little, what you do not know immense. You cannot fly under false colors very long for it !s soon im- pressed upon you that men are as big as the things they do and as small as the things they leave undane. In this profession you have to grow to go and to prevent yourself from slipping backwards. The service that life insurance is giving humanity is becoming more em- phasized every’ day and intelligent people recognize the real members ot his profession as aposties of serv- ice. The man who intends to make @ success in the Insurance field must work. There i$ not much chance for the loafer, Energy and honesty are absolutely essential. He must be men- tally morally and physically equipped for the work. He will receive com- pensation for his work that will com. pare very favorabbly with that offer ed by other trades and professions. In addition he will have an opportunity of enjoying thzt fine fascination o meeting people of his own selection, and rewarded by the knowledge that he has rendered a gregt service to mankind when a home and family has | been protectdd by the father and} mother insuring their lives. ‘The sig: nificance of this is evident when we consider that thirty per cent of the widows of the United States.lack the necessities of life; that ninety per cent lack the comforts of life and that eighty-five per cent of the people die without leaving an estate. For every success there is a corre- sponding sacrifice. If you men want to succeed and are willing to pay the price of success in the coin of effort, the insurance profession beckons to you and offers the opportunity you are looking for. Ono of the obstacles you must guard against is wasting time. Some people have not the abil- ity to be,thelr own boss. They like to waste time— to steal the time of thelr employer. If we are not oza)- ful we are apt to get in this waste- ful rut. I have in my office a little sign which is a reminder of what an honest man, some years ago sald to his son, when the latter was starting to work at his first job.
