The spirit of im- plovement is not always the same as the spirit of liberty, or even in sympathy with it, for it provements on an unwilling people. But the only unfailing and permanent source of improye- ment is liberty, since by it there are many independ ent centers of improvement as there are indiy Naturally, the progressive principle, in either shape, whether as the love of liberty or of improvement, is antagonistic to the sway of custom, and the story of the struggle of the two constitutes nearly the whole of the history of mankind. The greatest part of the world has, properly speaking, no history, because the despotism of custom is complete. This is the e oyer the whole cast. In China five hundred million people ure shackeled to the graves of their ancestors, Cus tom is in the orient, in all things, the final appeal, justice and right mean conformity to custom, the argument of power no one, unless it be some tyrant intoxieated with power, thinks of resisting. And we see the result. Those nations ep once the most powerfiil, and the most léarned in ‘the world. Wh are they now? The subjects or dependents of tribes forefathers wandered in the forests when theirs had magnif- icent palaces and gorgeous temples, but over whom custom exercised only a divided rule with liberty and progress. “A people, it appears from history, m: be progressive for a certain length of time, and then stop. When does it stop? When its individuality begins to wear out, when the free and liberty of action of its citizens begin to be strangled Americans, as professional reformers propose new prohibitions, should romember this ss Waterlogged, Government Former-Goyernor Frank O, Lowden, may or may not have a presidential bee buzzing in his immediate vicinity, but it does not hinder his telling bis countrymen of a few things wrong with the government, and which ought to be remedied. Among other things he says: “The government is moribund with bu- Teaucracy, ermeshed helplessly in its own twinifg of red tape. growing burden has been the only stitmulus that has awakened our people into the fearful knowledge that Democratic government, as America is practicing it, is a fail- ure at the moment. In the last few ye ull pretence of keep ing up the departmental form of org ation of the federal government has been abandoned. Th are now something more than forty independent establishments of government answerable only to the president. It is obvious that the presi- dent can have no knowledge of, much less exercise supervision over these independent agencies of government. There should uot be a single function pertaining to administration which does not come directly under some cabinet official. Our officers have been arded too much as mere ad president, and not enough as responsible hetds of departments.” may aim at foreing im- important Labor Honors Itself The answer of the American Federation .: Labor, to the Neds of E and, Russia and the remainder of the world rit with true Americanism.

Grayson, Norman H, Davis and others very close to Mr. Wilson. Naturally people anxious to. con tribute to a fitting memorial to Mr. Wilson are protesting that they know not whieh way to turn.

The Morning After German industrialists who, prior to the currency reform and the Dawes plan plunged into the orgy of inflation then sweeping, over the Fatherland, are today paying the price of thelr folly, After the re- cent crisis in the Stinnes fortune comes that of the Stumm family. The Stinnes’ enterprise. expanded on an extravagant scale during the war but their growth was as sound as could be expected in abnormal warlike conditions of production and demand. ‘The expansion continued after the armistice at a no less startling pace, however, and even a financial genius like the late Hugo Stinnes succumbed to the prevalent temptation to build on the quick- sandg of @ virtually worthless paper currency. The Stumm group likewise, heay- ily interested In coal, iron and‘ ship- ping, played fast and loose with the depreciating money. The cash ob- tained from French capitalists for {ts properties to the Saar was con verted into mountainous heaps of paper marks, and new © industrial ventures were financed in other parts of Germany. The rapid return of a sane cur: rency struck the Stumms, as it struck the heirs of Stinnes, a‘ bewil- dering b'ow. Both were overbur- Hlened «with cheaply acquired hold Ings which they found it impossible to keep up following the introdue- tion’ of a scarcer—because a heal- thier—mark. Recently, with ‘no solid cash on hand wherewlth to pay oft the workers in one of the fac: torles young Stinnes offered them a batch of capital stock as wges.

The factories are unable to Produce to capacity because the owners have not suf@icient money to keep them so running. Iven {f this were done, the product could not be sold, and to surplus manufacturing capacity would be added a surplus production, At the time of the high tide of Inflation, shortsighted German man- ufacturers, were gathering in paper marks’ by the cartloads. They rub- bed their hands In glee; some even encouraged the ‘inflation process. They are now learning their lesson, and other European countries should profit by German's experiences. In the long run, .unsound money doesn’t pay. The Worth of Man “§o much {s a man worth as he esteéms himself,” helds Rabelais, A Chicago man puts his figure at 98 cents. Jt may be that proximity to the. stocky hae influenced him. for he assays the man for the fat and chemicals in his physical make- up. Rabelafs may have been think- Ing of something else. This Is the Chicago idea of what makes a man: «A. shoyelful of cheap materials and two. buckets of water, with these for constituent’ items; Fat enough to make seven bars of soap, iron enough for a medium sized nal}, sugar enough to fill a shaker, Mme enough to white-wash a chick- en coop, phosphorus enough for two @ozen boxes of matches, magnesium enough for one dose of magnesia water, potassium enough to explode a firecracker und sulphur enough to rid one dog of fleas, Truly a useful lot of materials, well worth 98 cents. Adding men- tal and spiritual intangibilities would doubtless, in some cases, not raise the figure over $1.03; allow- ance of a nickel would be ample. But incomputable is the worth which Pope bad in mind: Worth make the man, and want of it the fellow: | The rest is al! but leather or pru- Nello, Not to do an injustice, let it be sald tlmt the Chicago inventory of parts is made by one not unmindful of the greater, but less measurable, values.

I want to point ont a thing which the Asher- fean public does not generally rea- Uze, that when we turn the tapestry of personal comfort over and look at the reverse side we see the knots and seams and mottled surface of corruption, bribery, perfury-and mur- der. This {s the angle of the pres- ent state of affairs which interests me most and it is a point of view which most people do not compre- hignd until they are given a ‘close- up* of the situation by ‘getting into an official position such as my own. “The best service which any Amer- citizen can render his country y is to take steps to have the prohibition law Inteiligently and efficiently enforced, or else modified or repealed.

For instance, the number of persons with individual incomes in excess of $1,000,000 was only seventyfour, while only four persons reported in- comes of $5,000,000 or in excess of that sum. .The number of personal returns filed that year was 7,698,521, which means that only 6.94 per cent of the population filed returns.
