The vampire has fooled around until she has final- ly got into court and her operations become the ob- ject of the court's solicitude and correction. A Chi- cago gentleman, feeling the need of protection against the wiles of a charmer and fearing the corrupting in- fluence and scandalous outcome of a one-sided court- ship applied to the court for an injunction restrain- ing the maiden from trifling with his affections. _ The court did restrain and did direct the vampire to refrain from vamping for a period of six months, during which time she is to attend all of the regular services of a designated church, including the usual ‘Wednesday evening prayer meeting, reporting her cou- larly to the court. ariia fides cose upon the theory that a prayermeet- ing ts a good place to take the vampishness out of vamps. It may be. We are not informed, but the geuczrei cnderstanding is that very few men attend these gatherings and they are men that the most con- firmed vampire would not select as good subjects to ut her little finger. Mig) age plan succeeds, the result and recipe should be st once spread broadcast over the country, including Hollywood. et BLAMES THE PARENTS. Profemor Alfred E. Stearns of Phillips academy, Andover, Mass., recently addressed a Chicago audi- ence of fathers and mothers, and did not fail to point out duty and place responsibility upon parents of the present day for the conditions found in almost every community in the land. 3 The flapper and the lounge lizard are the direct product of the neglect of parents, warns the profes- sor, and then: “Flappers would not flap so high if their mothers did not show them the way and sons would follow a narrower path if their fathers used the rod more and the whisky fiask less. “Youth does not change. It is cbesame Eyeends as - was yesterday. It is the parents who have change: Instead of proper home life the modern youth is raised in a flaming world where jazz, booze and the blatant sex appeal of motion pictures and modern books com- bine to bring out his worst qualities. ‘ “Every boy bas a potential Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde in his makeup. Constantly these two opposing forces are fighting for control. On one side is the base ani- mal nature—the sex appeal. On the other is the de- sire for ideals and the spiritual, wholesome, upright) life. These forces are evenly balanced and with prop-| er surroundings the good will triumph. “Civilization has realized that youth has a hard fight on its hands and has made it as easy as possible for the boy to be good. The fight against sex is the boy’s hardest fight, and in the past the home life has been the biggest factor in aiding the boy to keep himself under control. “But that is changed today. The youth is not given a chance. Vice is exalted and virtue made repulsive. Movies, modern literature, and the social influence which makes a married life a mockery and of home simply a shelter for father, mother, and the children, all combine to aid the worst side of the boy to triumph. “Home should be # place for the growth of disci- pline. Children should know restraint. The great men in our history were the men who knew what dis- cipline was—even the sort of discipline administered with a rod. “Today the majority of mothers and fathers do not stay at home. The home that has influence is becon- ‘ing a rare thing. There is no restraint. Fathers and mothers break the prohibition laws flagrantly in the sight of their children. “T ask you, is that playing fair with the youth of to- day. Decidedly it is not. Rugged manhood is wait- ing for the appeal. It will respond to the challenge of manhood as quickly as it ever did, but first we must give them a chance. Social conditions today are an invitation to boys to do wrong. It should be just the other way about.” Se omens THE DIFFERENCE IN PRESIDENTS. There was a wide difference in the two situations, when President Harding presented the treaties agreed upon by the Washington conference and when Prest dent Wilson delivered the treaty of Versailles Mr. Harding was in position to argue that the honor of the nation required the ratification of the work of the conference. Mr. Wilson undertook to set up some- what the same claim but the people were not re- sponsive. The difference between the two situations is clear. President Wilson went to Paris practically alone. He took with him a few subordinates, tai he neither coun- seled with them nor received from ihem any sugges- tions. They were mere clerks carrying infe=mation to “sve him if calied for, Neither dire-tiy nor indirect- ly did he take the advice of the senate nor keep the Senate informd as to the sieps he was taking. More- over, it h: & been reported that President Wilson in- j ing. ; conference he appointed four of the abJest men in the | senate he placed before that body a complete copy of him and before the other nations represented at Ver- sailles, President Wilson continued in his determina-! tion to interweave the league of nations covenant in the peace treaty in such a way that the whole must: be ac United States, two of them members of the senate and leaders of four men in constant consultation among? themselves and with the president and with members of the sen- ate represented the interests and desires of the United States government. Moreover, the senate had al- ready, by adoption of a resolution, declared its de- sire that treatics be made providing for limitation of jo9, armament and settling vexatious questions in the Pa. cific. Thus it will be seen the president made th treaties with the “advice” of the senate. In one other respect President Harding's position was much stronger than that of President Wilson. At the same time that he submitted the treaties to the the minutes of the proceedings by which the terms of the treaties were arrived at. In other words, he placed before the senate all the information in his possession bearing upon the agreements by which it was proposed the United States should be bound. Not so did President Wilson. A vast amount of the data pertaining to the peace conference at Versailles | umns of a limited number of newspapers. President Wilson proceeded to negotiate a treaty in violation of both the spirit and the detter of the con-| stitution of the United States. President Harding paid! scrupulous respect to both. | pakehe re ee. SHOWING MR. BRYAN. That the deflation program of the Wilson adminis- tration hit the farmers first and hardest of all is com- mon knowledge. It is also common knowledge that the only maximum price fixing undertaken by the Wilson administration was that which fixed maximum prices for agricultural products. When ¢ongress had under- taken to fix a minimum price for wheat the adminis- trative department of the government adopted prac- tices which made that price the maximum price. In view of the unfailing efforts of the Wilson ad- ministration to injure agriculture at every opportunity and to refuse to aid agricultural industry in time of pressing need, it is impossible to understand by what line of reasoning Mr. Bryan reaches the conclusion, voiced by him, that the farmers hold the present ad- ministration responsible for their financial dilemma and will elect a Democratic congress next November.| cratic administration spread disaster throughout the agricultural community. bet by negative acts as well. it will be remembered that the Democrats began their deflation program early in 1920 and the farmers felt the blow that had been aimed them when it came time to cell their crops in the fall of that year. Recog- mittee on agriculture presented, on the second day of the session of congress in December, 1920, a resolu- tion which had been appro¥ed by unanimous vote of the committee prior to its introduction, reviving the, War Finance corporation. This resolution presented by Senator A. J. Gronna of North Dakota, recited that there existed unpre- cedented distress on account of the inability of farm- ers to dispose of their products, notwithstanding the people of Europe were in dire need of these articles of | food, and that resolution directed the revival of the! corporation in order to assist in finding foreign. mar-| kets for the American surplus. That resolution was| supported by Republicans and Democrats alike in the committee on agriculture. It was passed by both houses but was vetoed by President Wilson in a mes- sage transmitied to congress on January 3, 1921. On the same day it was passed in the senate over the president's veto and on the next day was passed over the veto in the house. Both houses of congress, at that time, were Republican. The Republicans did not assert or assume that the revival of the War Finance corporation would cure all the ills from whieh American agriculture was then suffering. They did not expect it to right the wrongs that hao been perpetrated. It was the only measure, however, that offered even a small degree of relief and they passed it in defiance of the opposition and veto of the Democratic president. American farmers, with the record before them, are not likely to be deceived by the statement of Mr. Bryan or any other Democrat, that the Repoblican ad- ministration should be held responsible forthe present predicament of the agricultural industry. oo AS A SOCIAL ECONOMIST. William E. Gilroy, the new editor of the Congre- gationalist, writes on Lincoln as a social economist and says: “To the economics of social life Lincoln brought a clearness of vision comparable only to that of the prophet Amos. As Amos came in from the fields, with a clear penetration into the elemental facts of na- tute, uncorrupted by the superficialities and sophis- tries of city life, so Lincoin brought té the nation’s capital the plain teachings of a frontiersman’s experi- ence. He had seen no mystic forces supporting the lazy, and no strange providence supplying the needs of the rich, Life was based directly upon work and struggle, and all sustenance came directly from the) soil. So beneath the mechanism and artificialfties of| society he saw that all wealth was ultimately the prod- uct of labor, and with almost uncanny accuracy he as- serted the primacy of labor to capital. He saw that no economic juggling and adjustment can ultimately and permanently affect the interests of society where; the fundamental factors of productive labor, and just! stribution are neglected; and in so far as Lincoln| as capable of feeling contempt he had contempt for; those who wished to live as parasites, refusing their fair share of the world’s burden. “There is a deep need of reconsidering the eco- nomics of Lincoln in an age when many are making the two-fold error of imagining that either profits, on} the one hand, or wages, on the other, can be fairly or! adequately considered apart from the productive labor| that is their source. Where profits are grabbed that! are not earned, society is paying the bill, and where wages attain a fictitious inflation, unrelated to actual efficiency and production, other labor is undoubtedly being robbed to make good the deficiency. It seems a truism, but as a matter of fact it is the hardest prin.. ciple to grasp, this principle of Lincoln, that at the soul of all national prosperity and social betterment is the need of a fundamental honesty, not only in money matters, but the whole coin of life, political as well as social and commercial.” SS eee A bootlegger sentenced to prison, finds little sym- pathy from his customers, on his claim that he paid “good money” for protection. They too paid “good money” for protection from poison. So what is sauce for the goose is surely sauce for the gander. The more double crossing there is in the game the quick- tended to incorrzrate in the peace treaty the league of nations -cvenant, thirty-nine members of the sen- ate notified him in writing and by the adoption of a reaciution that they not support the treaty with} such a pr 4 i ith that knowledge before} er will it be banished from the list of sports. ——__o—___—_ Mr. Babson’s optimism is acknowledged, but until he makes some of his prosperity dreams come true, the public will not take much stock in him.
