Be Proud of Music. There are perhaps hundreds of peo- ple in Washington who have received musical gifts, and, not being familiar with the of music, are somewhat re- the subject. Maybe show slight traces of shame, seeming to feel that there is some- thing effeminate about music, some- thing which makes it an unfit subject for conversation between serious per- sons. Never was a greater mistake made than this attitude. Music is one of the greatest of arts, one of the true refinements of civilization. It consti- tutes not only a great art fit for the endeavor of any person, but affords a topic of conversation second to none, especially on the social side of life. Music is perhaps the only one of the arts which has been commercialized to its real good. The advent of the better phonographs and player-pianos has introduced the work of the master musicians, played as they should be played, into thousands upon thou- sands of homes. Music, besides being a great art, is & great science as well. Its rhythms are as steady as the tide, being based upon mathematical laws which should charm any one who has ever studied any of the branches of higher mathe- matics. No strong man need ever be afraid to discuss music. Rather, he should be proud to be heard talking about music. —_——— Trouble might have been saved to the world it France had been willing to stake her interests on a game of pinochle or if Germany had been will- ing to submit a decision to the chances of baccarat.

Chicago 13 a crook’s paradise, judg- ing from the figures just given out by ‘the police department of that city re- } specting the amount of loot taken by ' safeblowers, burglars, pickpockets and hold-up nien from the 1st of January .10 the 23d of December of this year. In the cases reported merchandise of all kinds worth $3,347,459 was stolen, and cash to the sum of $626,887, mak- ing a total of $3,974,326. Probably the actual takings of thieves were worth _much more that that, for every case is not reported. During the year mer- , chandise worth $1,616,293 and $107,199 in cash were recovered, a total of $1,- ;72&492‘ It does not follow that this rwas all loot of the current year, but it { may be applied to the account of 1921, and it leaves & net loss in the city of Chicage to the thieves of $2,250,834. A }very high perceniage of profit, The reports as borne in the dis- patches do not neote the number of “erooks captured in the ceurse of the year, or the number of those actually punished. Capture and punishment are not necessarily synonymous. But “whatever the ratie of thefts te arrests evidently the Chicago thieves—and this term includes all who are attract- ed te that city in addition te its own matiye crooked population—are not . discouraged by police activities. A - business that will yield & met profit of t z{are requires all the appropriation | instruments for Christmas | $2,250,834 in less than a year seems to be worth pursuing. It is practically all profit, save for the chance of police recoveries. For little or no initial ex- penditure is necessary. It is about the cheapest business to start. A pick- pocket needs no’ capital and no stock in trade. A hold-up man needs only a gun. have to have tools, but they are rela- tively inexpensive. Long past are the days when steal- ing was a capital offense. The punish- ment recerds in England and else- where show many cases of execution for the stealing of trifling things. Nowada; thief gets a few weeks in Jail or the workhouse when the value stolen is :“1all, or a few years in the penitentiary when it is big. If it is great enough he may get nothing. It all depends on the finesse of the theft. Organized professional thievery has become a very grave menace to this country. More efficient police methods —perhaps in some cities more honest police work—and longer prison terms ‘When in one city alone over two and a quarter millions of dollars’ worth of property is taken in {less than & year beyond recovery ob- viously the community is fostering crime at a dangerous rate.

It was not a successful endeavor. Nobody was persuaded. Nobody ac- tually believed the denials except per- haps a few of the already convinced American bolshevists. The work did not run into large circulation. and when Lenin began scrapping some of his unworkable theories it was prac- tically withdrawn. Only in those par- lor circles where bolshevism is wor- shiped as a model state of man was conviction effected that the true story of the soviet had been denied the American people. But the bluff goes on. The profes- sional radicals are going to insist that anti-capitalistic sovietism is successful, and that there has been no weakening. | What matters it if Lenin gives the game away by his frankness of speech at the all-soviet congress. Maybe he is doing it for strategic purposes. Per- haps he is laying a trap for the hated | capitalists. Well, the American peo- ple are not very much concerned after all on the score of what happens to Russia, but they are decidedly con- cerned in the schemes and plots and stratagems of their own bolshevists who are bent upon trying the great experiment here and putting law and order and security, person and prop- erty into the melting pot for a recast- ing of human affairs on this side of the Atlantic. ————————— The ex-kaiser of Germany does not wish to be held responsible for the world war.

There is noth- ing more joyously inspiring than the laughter of a happy child. i Another problem arises. Who is_go- | ing to write the fiction while the Eng- lish novelists are engaged in report- ing the conference? Compulsory Voting. A special to The Star from Balti- more, published yesterday: A bill making voting compulsgory in Maryland, now being drawn by the legislative committee of the Balti- more Federation of Labor, to be of- fered at the coming session of the legislature next month, was decided fupon at a recent meeting of the fed- eration. “When only 45 per cent of the registered voters of the state go to the polls in_an important election,” said Henry F. Broening, president of the federation, “it is_time for some action to be taken. Voting is more than a privilege; it is a duty. Al- though business and professional men have shown an apathy toward voting, I believe that the majority of those who stay away are members of the labor unions. If they won't go to the polls and use their votes in behalf of measures beneficial to them they should be forced to do s0.” Bravo, President Broening! You have proposed something! Go to it! It is surprising to hear that the majority of suffrage-shirkers are wage- earners. The contrary opinion has prevailed, and excuses have been of- fered for business men and profes- sional men who forget, or neglect, election day. They have so much on their minds—so much to attend to! And so forth. Bad government, or government in- differently administered, tells heavily against the wage-earner. He has much more than his wages in the scale, He ought to exert himself to the utmost in behalf of good public policies, and toward securing good men for office to execute them. Prescribing force and how to apply A safeblower or burglar may {it will be no easy matter. But discus- sion will help, and discussion should set every earnest legislator to think- ing on the problem. And if the solu- tion works well in Maryland—brings the voters out on election day—it will probably be given a trial in other states, and may be in all the states. —_—————— Home on Christmas. Christmas day in Washington was memorable on many counts. For one thing, it was the first Christmas in forty years that a certain clerk of the local post office had spent at home. For forty years he had worked on Christmas day, doing his duty along with his brother clerks and carriers. ‘While others closed up shop on Christmas eve, and spent the next day in the bosom of their families, this man for forty years got up before daylight Christmas morning to make kis way to work through the deserted streets. Not for him the joy of light- ing the annual tree, and watching the little ones shout with joy. He had to work. « There are many like him in the world who must of necessity labor on Christmas day. Perhaps there is a great field here for humanitarian work. Perhaps concerted efforts might be made by employers and great organi- zations everywhere to devise means for putting more and more of these employes into their own homes on Christmas day. Forty years without spending one Christmas day at home with the folks! Surely a little more thought, a little more management, perhaps a trifle more regard for the sacred day, would result in making Christmas more of a Christmas for thousands. Christmas is the home festival. Every one po: sible should be at home on that day. There always will be many who will have to work on Christmas. But the number should be reduced to as small a proportion as possible. e — Personalities are not considered by the United States Constitution.

The House of the Christmas Trees. I gathered the old-time Christmas trees That have been so long forgot: I brought them, a fanciful mood to please, From oblivion’s vacant lot. I fashioned them into a little house, Out under the starry gleam, And made me a shakedown of pine tree boughs, To rest and remember and dream. ‘The shack so small began to grow And it soon was a palace grand. I welcomed the friends of long ago ‘Who gathered from every hand. And life was radiant with a smile; The earth moved on with ease, As I paused to dream, for a little | opinion might view the matter, while, In my house of the Christmas trees. i moment in Japan.” Reform. “When you entered politics you an- nounced yourself as a reformer.” “I am still a reformer,” protested Senator Sorghum. “But I am obliged [can) puts it, “by long-continued gov- to be discreet, owing to differences of | ernmental opinion as to which partictilar style of | have come to regard the Japanese navy reform is entitled to precedence in {as their country’s peculiar pride,” and ublic attention.” Jud Tunkins says that wishin’' a man a merry Christmas and takin’ pains to provide him with a merry Christmas are two different things.

It is not exactly right to say that he is part American, although his forbears did migrate from Massachusetts into Nova Scotia, because he is as loyal a dian as lives; but he has been in the closest touch with America for many years past, having a host of friends throughout the United States and vis- iting among them on innumerable oc- caslons. At the very outset of his career he was a teacher in a school in New Jersey. There it was that he learned American ideals and aspira- tions, and in later years this under- standing went a long way in smooth- ing out diplomatic intercourse be- tween the two neighbor nations. Sir . Robert is sixty-seven years old and has been resting for over a year now, after a strenuous life of politics and government service. He had planned leading a quiet life after he left par liament in July, 1920, and his taking so active part in the armament con- ference was quite a sacrifice to him, but Canada could have picked no min who had to such an extent the confi- dence of the statesmen of the mother country and America and the other nations as well. Sir Robert has been the strong out- standing figure in Ca dian politic for the past decade. He is the states- man who will go down in the history of Canada’s part in the world war, Two great things he did that no other statesman in his position in any other country can lay claim to. In the first place, he was premier of Canada at the time the war W ae- clared and remained in that high po- sition until after peace was won. No other dominion premiers did this and no prime minister of any of the allied powers was in office; through- out that time. He was also respon- sible for popular conscription for the army in Canada. In no other coun- try was the question of conscription put to the vote of the people and passed upon. Sir Robert, as the lead- er of the conservatives, advocated conscription, fought for it with all; his energy. made of it the prime ue in the elections, and by his _indomitable determination and tireless efforts won for himself and party an overwhelming majority He is given the entire credit of th liant action. as well as for the maticn of the coalition government uring the war that worked so admi raby.

While the French demands for the authorization of an unexpectedly large fleet for that country came as a d tinct anti-climax, the press of the coun- try generally has agreed that the vital issue of limiting capital ships was sct- tled when Japan gave her assent to the 5-5-3 ratio. “Secretary Hughes can now write the words ‘Completed O. K. against the second item" on the Wash- ington conference program, comments the Chicago Post (independent), because the scttlement has been reached sub- stantially on Mr. Hughes' own terms. And, belleving that the revised tonnage by which Japan saves her cherished Mutsu from the scrap heap is an unim- portant detail that does not affect the principle of armament limitation, the press adds its enthusiastic “O. as well. From the first, the difficulty that stood between Japan and prompt acceptance of the Hughes program was the battle- Ship Mutsu, which under the American plan was condemned. Overcoming that obstacle while keeping to the spirit and purpose of the original proposal has been the task of the conference, and, as the Worcester Telegram (republican) ays, ‘“‘the manner in which agreement s been reached is typical of the spirit hich has animated the entire gathering Since it assembled.”” Granting Japan ihe right to retain her new dreadnaught is “a concession to that country’s na- tional pride,” the Portland (Me.) Ex- press and Advertiser (republican) ob- Serves, but at the same time, according %o the New York Herald (independent), “it was good manners and wise diplo- macy.” for “Japan had met the other delegates of the conference in so fair 2 spirit and on so many points that it Was amply due her that they should Mmeet her in this matter of profound national objection to the destruction of the Mutsu,” and, however American tional sentiment interwoven with whole fiber of the Mutsu was of large “puilt in part by the patriotic contributions of Japanese workmen and school children,” rather symbolized in the Japanese mind the big naval program which the public had been “induced to accept,” as the Sandusky (Ohio) Register (republi The Mutsu, propaganda,” and though “convinced with great difficulty, they {0 support and maintain it has become a test of patriotism.” Naturally, the Register concludes, “the government hadn’t the nerve to ask the Japanese public’s approval of the entire sacrifice proposed, after the sacrifices the peo- ple themselves have been persuaded to make.” Retaining this particular ship, accordingly, was desirable, as the Chi- cago Post says, as a means of “saving the faces of the Japanese delegates and of assuring them the backing of their government and nation.” Any way, “what difference does it make whether a ship_more or less is retained by Japan or by Britain or by America?” ks the Reno Gazette (re- publican). “None at all,” it replies, for “the very fact that the discussion has come down to such trifing details is proof that on the main principle there is no question whatever.” ~The great battleship, however, does “increase the effective fighting force and the tonnage of the Japanese navy,” the St. Louis Globe Democrat (republican) ~points out, and “this necessitated correspond- ing changes in the American and Brit- ish lists.” This was done, says the Minneapolis Tribune (independent re- publican), “by giving the United States two additional ships of the Maryland class instead of the Delaware and North Dakota, and by permitting Britain two superdreadnaughts similar to the Maryland and the Mutsu, though of greater tonnage, at the same time gaining her promise to scrap four old battleships not ordered scrapped in the original list.” The Milwaukee Sentinel (republican) is convinced That “the increase of ton- nage allowed is not sufficient to arouse any apprehensions,” and while admit- tedly “the navy of each (power) will thereby be stronger,” the ratio, the Richmond Times-Dispatch (democratic) contends, “will be the same.” The change in capital tonnage in no way | seripted into politic - milit ' was in f L ‘debts come to be so prominent unless somebody or making it £0?

Limelight on Food Prices. Out in Nebraska a state commission was recently appointed to discover who is responsible for the tremendous “spread” in the price of farm products from the time they leave the farm down to the time they appear on the table of the ultimate consumer. The commission has already learned that a bushel of potatoes, for which the farmer receives about 60 cents, sells for $24 when served baked in a restaurant. It has found that a loaf of bread which costs, to bake, about 6 or 7 cents and retails at 11 cents sells for 90 cents when served as toast. It has developed that a pound of beef, which the farmer sold for about 6 cents, and which the retail market sells for 12 cents, is passed on to the consumer, who serves himself at a cafeteria, at 46 cents a pound. Farm- ers are selling their corn at from 15 to 18 cents a bushel, but when a farmer goes to purchase a bushel of meal ground from his corn it costs him $1.08, Not in Nebraska, at least, and prob- ably not elsewhere, is there any law whereby excessive profits may be stopped, and only publicity will be the immediate result of the investiga- tion going on. But publicity means something, for when the public fully understands exactly what is being done to its disadvantage in any line it has a_way of bringing about re- forms. The public, of course, under- stands that it is paying for labor, heat, lights, rent and many other things, all of which are higher than formerly, when it buys a pork chop in a restaurant or a loaf of bread at the grocer’s—Terre Haute Star (inde- pendent).
