There is little else than shifting responsibility in and out congress and in and out of the public service. It is one thing the president has to struggle with. This attorney is more than ninety per cent There is altogether too much of shifting responsi ty, too much bad advice by men of small capacity in positions of counsel thi to the ernment. The oil prosecutions, for one prove this. So do many other major legal operations zinst business, The government has had bad advice and upon it has rushed into contests without merit. Government is not for the purpose of hounding and destroying business, rather it is its duty to foster, encourage and aid business. There must be no. sh i war upon business, which has been the objective of radicals and disturbers for too long a time. Big business, is not, in the main, conducted by scoundrels, but by enterprising and constructive develope: who are creating wealth for the natior adding prestige to the great republic. Unenlightened America American failure to adopt the proposed federal child labor aw iment has the Geneva labor conference, which is part of nation’s machinery, a topic for highly indiguant rhetori If the United States will not reform itself the league has an idea that Europe ought to step in and impose reforms on this blackened country. There was*talk about “crystallizing European sentiment” and “bringing moral pressure to bear” on the United States. Our foreign critics presumably have been careful to sweep at their own doorstep before they undertook to lecture this country. We expect to hear that the London slums, with their unspeakable child mise haye been cleaned up, that peonage and the exploitation of the young have been ruthlessly sup- pressed throughout the Eure 1 continent, and that foreign countri ea veritable 7 se for children. If they are not, foreign indignation would seem to be a bit premature. Child labor conditions in some sections of the United States can not be defended, but taken as a whole, this coun- try presents a distinctly higher average than the gene: European level. Strangley enough, while America is being de- nounced as backward in eans are beseiging our labor legislation, thousands of Euro ates anxious to bring ‘their children ere with a view to improving their lot. In Ancient Utica The universal touch, so to speak, or the all-time touch is illustrated by the child's saving bank recently unearthed on the site of ancient Uti ; It described as a little crockery savings bank, such a children still use, with a narrow slit through which coins ean be thr y thrifty you ers, In this rticular bank were found half u dozen bronze pi the hoard of some boy or girl of twenty-five hundred years ago.

Of that fuet we haye proof in the six bronze eoins that some young lutifully stowed away in his little tres e-honse twenty-five centuries ago. Patriotism and Pulpit Iu these days of persistent efforts to undermine patriot- ism, nationalism and individualism by preaching disarmament, internationalism and communism, it is a relief to hear a voice persistently raised in support of those isms which have made this country what it i against those isms which would wreck the great work dc id yet still so far from consum mation. Unforutnatels much support of the negative isms comes from pulpits o¢ ed by men who purport to preach Chri t Therefore, it is all the more en uraging to find a minister of the gospel ly experienced war's horrors country the doctrine o Thomas J war, put hi preach disarmament, when he “An army in the hand ous force, while a trained « devote throughout the ldress Chaplain rved with the first division in the of the to those who wh answer vid of a despotism is a most danger iship directed by the wil! of a free people like America is a prote to civilization.

An appreciative éitizen trained in American ideals should be the finished product of our schools.” tion 7° The gavernment sees no departure in the text of the Russo- Japanese understanding from the “open door” policy consist- ently urged by the United States as a means of preventing international friction. The oil concession granted to the Jap: anese is of the same character as similar cohcessions granted to Ciing aud elsewhers, Property Ownership Herbert Hoover, secretary of Com: merce, writing to the National Re- public, has given to the people much food for thought in what he has to say on. the subject of property ownership, in the following: One of the continuous and under- lying problems o* sustained democ- racy is the constant and wider dif- fusion of property ownership, In- deed I should’ become fatalletic of ultimate destruction of democracy if I believed that the results of all our invention, all our discovery, al! our Increasing economic efficiency and all-our grow! th” would be toward the further and fuyther con: centration of ownership.

For purposes of anal¥sis of diffu- sion of ownership we might divide property ownership into two cate gories: On the one hand bank de- posits, bonds, mortgages, preferred other words, the prior-lien and on the other hand the equities generally, as represent. ed by common stocks, land holdings, stocks of goo¢ e If we e to make such a division I be- hould find that the high 1 wage the vast increase of avings of the past few years have brought ab fusion Hen ov ulp.

There are a multitude of prob- it when we come to close range. He who owns in this field must take larger risks. The increase in common stock holdings’ by em- ployes, by consumers and the public, and in a way also the Increase in mutualized banks and insurance companies, the inc: ed volume of operations by farm cooperatives, tend toward such a movement. But there fs another field of equity ip—that of home ownership where I regret to say that we are going backward. For twenty years the national ratio of owned homes has fallen,’ slowly and slightly, but steadily. This may be accounted for by special reasons.

Again we have little Infor- mation as to the diffusion or concen- tration of the control of wealth as distinguished from ownership. My impression is that the establishment of the ‘al Reserve system and the effect of the restraint of trades laws and the inheritance taxes all tend to make for diffusion in direction also.

The Farmers ‘Magazine, organ of organized and co-operative farmers jof the nation, says editorially: “Uppermost in the minds of farm- ers is the question of who 4s best equipped and most capable to guide, control and manage the’ marketing of farmers’ production. ‘Farmers have lost heavily (many thousands have lost heir homes, their’ all) because their cost of pro- diction was greater than thelr farm Income, while fabulous fortunes are ; | made on distribution and marketing. “Therefore, shall a law be enacted establishing “Governmental Market- jing Control,” or ons establishing {Farmer Marketing Control’ “All the bills introduced in both sessions of the 68th Congress, ex- cept the Curtis-Aswell bill, provided |for government marketing control. “The minds of some congressinen seem so impregnated with the notion | that farmers are incapable of organ- izing and menaging the marketing of their produgts, that they are afraid to trust them with it. ‘To get the Curtis-Aswell bill be- fore the house of representatives, in hours, {t was nec n its closing for Congressm that really help tute to the pact bill, This was occasioned by the fact that the Curtis-Aswell Bill had been referred to a sub-committee of the Senate Agricultural Committee of which Senator Kendrick, of Wyom- ing. was chairman. Although report- ing i favorably, this committee left out the names of the original fricor Porators and, instead provided for thetr appointment by the President under recommendations. Thus, Mr. Kendrick’s committee took the Itb- erty of chsinging a bill which provid- ea for control by the farmers to a bill which put the farmer under political Government’ control. “We wonder if there are not to be found among the acquaintances of Senator Kendrick, in Wyoming, sev- en farmers able and honest enough to warrant the senator trusting them as State Directors, to handle jointly ary Aswell to offer bill as a substi- is Dickinson farm on Balloon Tires Why the United States Rubber Company’s New Flat “Low-Pressure TREAD” | Prevents Early and Uneven Tread Wear Compare these two tread imprints— They tell the whole story of Balloon Tire performance on the road Mearey IHESE tread imprints were made by | two Balloon Tires of exactly the same i size.
