ONT THINK that the expression of the high-| noe heen forced fo carry at a Une when been |Jeast able to carry it has been the large increase jin freight rates, In 1920 freight rates on many of \the more important farm crops were almost double b The Highest Art of All. est art is to be found in portrait or landscape ainting we see in the picture galleries, or the pture of a noted person or ay animal we see statuary upon pedestals in the show places in towns and cities. There is an art higher and finer than all those creations by heaven endowed men and women. It is the every-day art of liv- ing together, happily and contentedly, year after year. That is an art that calls for greater wisdom, greater patience, greater qualities of mind and heart, higher sense of the beautiful, nobler con- ception of devotion and loyalty, more profound re- gard for responsibility, for solemn promise, for sacred undertaking than is ever required in the ainting of pictures or the modeling of men and OTKeS. To carry on, frem the days of your youth to the days of your descent of the western slope, with your first and only choice, through all the days of joys and sorrows, evil report and good report, with all the changes that make up the sum of human life in the journey from the beginning to the end- ing, is indeed an art. It is more, It is the be- stowal of heaven’s choicest blessing. It is more beautiful then any picture, nobler than any statu- ary, more sublime than any poem. It is the simple art of unselfishness, of charity, of forgiveness, of excusing human frailty and shortcomings, of consideration, of retaining ideals and finally of following the teachings of the Mas- ter. ‘The wrecks Bong the shore mark the failure of the partnerships where the simpic art was lacking in the one or the other party to life’s agreement; but these wrecks, thank heaven, in no sense out- number the happy homes that have endured and prospered through an art coveted alike by the rich and haughty and the poor and humble, The art that brings happiness and contentment—all there ever was or ever will be to human life, —o A Woman Supreme Judge, Pfs ONE of the results of the recent election is the elevation of a woman to the supreme court of Ohio. True, the womun is in every sense qualified, having come up through the prosecuting attorney's office of ouc of the most populous coun- ties, with an intermediate schooling on the com- yon pl bench, with a splendid record as a suc- cessful prosecutor, and with yp reversals of her judgment on the bench. The career of the new judge has been a suc- cession of “firsts,” She was the first woman to be- come a prosecuting attorney in Ohio, the first woman to sit in a court of general jurisdiction in the country, and the first woman to be elected to the supreme bench of any state in the union. Thus to the great chamber that has known all of the great jurists of a great state, noted for the high quality of its courts and the profound at- taimments of its judges, comes Judge Florence Allen, associate justice. Gold and Wealth. T WAS-perfectly natural for the ancients to con- fuse gold with wealth, for gold from the earl- jest periods of history, has been used as ornaments, as decorations and a symbol of wealth. Gold came to have a generic significance, as applied to eyery- thing known as wealth. ‘ated with the sanctuary and with the palace of toyalty whose prerogative was believed toemanate/for his crops and with probable prices for the next ‘from divinity. The ancient scarcity of gold, and its majestic brilliance when fashioned into an orna- ghent, linked the metal, in a peculiarly close fash- don, with priest and king. |} Since throughout the ages gold is the one metal Which has been the object of universal desire, it is not strange that gold was worshiped through the ¢eenturies, and came to be a symbol of wealth. No less than 1,400 years before the Christian era, the Greeks were using gold as an object of ornamen- tation; yet they were not the originators of the ractice. They had borrowed the custom of weay- ing gold to make the person more attractive from the Egyptians, a people that had decked its women in gold more than 1,000 years before the Greeks had dreamed of utilizing it in this manner. It was the use of gold as an ornament that first suggested its subsequent use as money. Suggestion Needed.

Obviousiy, if any of the foreign countries; owing “4 and principal, and will pay. Thus there is no prob- “| must Gold has been associ- the Unites States debts contractet: during or after the wur, have the jvoney or the equivalent, the debt | can In collected by den ding it. If these coun-! tries have not the money nothing on earth con force 2 collection. | Any nation forced to borrow in this country to} pay the debt is not paying it at all, but simply! sferring the debt from government to private) is. | If money cannot be paid, then goods must be} accepted. Then the problem arises, can the United! States select the kind of goods, so «* not to inter- fere with American industzies and American la- bor? This would be a hazardous and arbitrary! proceeding. The United States cannot compel} American citizens to accept goods they do not want. Such a proceeding woul.t te highly uneconomic. Sir George Paish claims that Great Britain is still the greatest creditor nation in the world. If so, this disposes of the oft-repeated statement that Great Britain must pay her debt in goods and not in money. Furthermore, it seems to establish tie fact that Great Britain is able to pay, interest lem of collecting in the case of Great Britain. It is urged that the debts can be collected by the purchase of European securities, thus giving Europe funds with which to produce and pay. But American investors have already invested | about nine billion dollars in European’ securities since the armistice. Furthermore, this again pre. sents the problem of accepting foreign goods in payment. The payment of debts seem to be about as far off as before the large American investment in European securities. About the only way to secure payment of these} debts is to give the debtor nations all the time they! want. In this event, Congress must give the For-| eign Debt-Refunding Commission larger powers, The president's appeal to the people who hare an} economic turn of mind doubtless will bring, or cause to be sent, many suggestions, good, bad and in-! different. John Sherman once said thet the way to resume is to resume. Likewise, the way te vol lect the foreign debts is to collect them. eeoiths 36 Bas The. Fatinin dail’ Brea Plies: SoOxMeTHING has got to be done about freight| rates next year or a whole lot of folks will be forced out of business or forced to restore war| prices. The people engaged in retail, and whole sule business or the ban x of commodities of any character have a way of absorbing the costs of freight but the farmer is the one person who 3 stand and take it as it comes. | Secretary Wallace not long sizice reviewed the | matter and among other things said: what they were before the war. These increased rates not only imposed a grievous financial burden but in many cases narrowed the market for crops! which were not worth enough to carry the freight} rate to distant markets. At the same time, the| increased rates on the things the farmer had to buy added to his cogt of living and the cost of pro- duction by just that much. “Had prices of farm crops remained at the 1919 jand early 1920 levels, the higher freight rates could} jhave been paid without inconvenience. A freight | rate of 25 cents a bushel when corn is selling for $1.75 a bushel is not a serious matter, but a 25-| jeent rate on 50-cent corn is ruination. The influ- jence of the administration has been exerted jn every proper way to bring about a reduction in freight rates on farm crops, and a number of im- portant reductions have aan secured. Rates aro still altogether too high, however, with relation to the selling value of crops, and further substan- tial reductions must come in the near future. “This railroad question is exceedingly complex and difficult. When the federal government took over the roads it was on the agreement that in ad. dition to proper maintenance they should be as- sured of earnings equal to the average of three years, June 30, 1914, to June 30, 1917. Costs of ; Operation were ‘increasing steadily, and the goy- ernment advanced both passenger and freight rates. But materials, and especially wages, continued to ladvance the latter with government assent and cyen encouragement, Iniquitous working agree- menis and shop rules which greatly reduced Jabor ‘output were accepted. The result was that rail- |road costs of operation increpsed far more than railroast receipts. During this period practically everything shipped was selling at a price enough | to have carried a correspondingly igh freight |rate, Good business administration would have | provided for vailroud income during those pros-! |perous times large enough to meet the government! contract and would thus have saved the hundreds of millions which the government afterward had! jto pay. Also it should have made it possible for! a prompt reduction in rates when the prices of farm crops made it necessary. | “The urgent demand by farmers for large reduc- tions in freight rates e lel some people to} |} think that if the farmers could have their way! they would put rates go low that the roads could! not possibly operate, Nothing could be further from tbe truth, The farmer is almost wholly de- pendent on the railroad for the movement of his surplus crops and live stock. Much agricultural freight is perishable and must have expedited) | movement. The farmer, therefore, has a direct in- | terest in efficient rajlroad operation and knows | that the roads must be permitted to charge enough to cover all proper costs of operation and enough in addition to give a fair return upon the money invested and thus keep capital in the business. Neither does the farmer want government opera. tion of the railroads. He had enough of that in| his three-year experience to satisfy him for all time, He will never forget the losaes, both direct aml indirect, which he suffered because he could not ship whe his stuff was ready for market and beeanse of bad service. “Nevertheless, freight rates on farm crops and live stock must come down. With present prices year or so the farmer simply cannot afford’ to pay the present rates, They are out of all proportion j to the pay he gets for what he grows. | “The distortion between the freight revenue re- ceived by the railroads and the prices for the principal tarm crops in the year-1921 can be illus- trated in this w In 1913 the average amount the railroads received for hauling a ton of freight }one mile would buy 14 bushels of corn in Towa; jin 192i the revenue received by the railroads for hauling a ton of freight one mile would buy 3.1 bushels of corn in Iowa, In 1918 this revenue per ton mile would buy one bushel of wheat in North Dakota; in 1921 1.1 bushel. In 1913 6.1 pounds of} cotton in Texas; in 1921, 10.5 pounds, In 1913, 10 pounds of hogs in Nebraska; in 1921, 18 pounds.| Tn 1913, 1 bushel of potatoes in New York; in 1921, 1.5 bushel.
