CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING AUG. 14th, 1920 10,924 HARDING AND NATIONALITY Certain democratic writers have been industriously circulating the impres- sion that Senator Harding's attitude up- on the League of Nations meant that the United States was to abandon the other countries of the world to their fate, while we selfishly forged ahead and enjoyed our prosperity. For the sake of what they think might be an ap-| peal to the foreign-born citizens these democratic writers have preferred to ignere the essence of the utterances of the republican candidate for president.! In his speech of acceptance and in all his public and private expressions on this point, Senator Harding has plain- ly said, “We will not hold aloof.”” There is in this nothing from which to draw arguments that he would abandon oth- er npations to their fate. On the con- trary, the senator has promised every assistance possible, reserving only for first place the interests of America, which he rightly holds to be above all| others in the estimation of Americans.| His own words explain his sympathy the problem of the foreign-born | citizens and his deep desire to be help-| ful to them and the world in general.| Here is what he said: “There has come to me, the expressed| anxieties of American foreign-born, who| are asi g our country’s.future attitude on territerial awards in the adjustment of veace. They are Americans all, they have a proper and natural inis in 'he fortune of kinsfolk and One cannot blame them. to settle the envies, these adopted sons of the republic the ettlement favorable to the land from which they came.

We also need to to be rescued from the onary and| fruitless pursuit of peace through super- government. I-do not want Americans of foreign birth making their party alignments on what we mean to do for some nations of the old world. We want them to be republicans because of what we mean to do for the United States of American. Our call is for uni- son, not al sympathies; our need is ocncord; mot the antipathies of long in- heritance. It wuld be a sorry day for this republic if we allowed our activi- ies in seeking for peace in the old| world to blind us to the essentials of peace at home.” ks Senator Harding is an intense na- he thinks in terms of his own ; ; g is, the bolshevik “ambassador”.

Putting America first, enator Harding Is willing to help any other nation as far as may be done without involying American citizens in disputes where ties of blood and race might divide them, and he is opposed to joining a policy of ‘internationalism* in whose hazy outlines many real dangers loom up. 20,000,000 NEW VOTERS The state of Tenmessee took action Wednesday which will add 20,000 000 uew voters to the electorate for the No- vember election. This was throu rat- if:ing the nineteenth amend:nent 10 ‘kLe ccustitution of the United Sta‘es wrich grarnts to women the right to yote. 7he favorable vote of the Tern.sie house and senate brought to their st the distinction of being the thirty-sixth state to ratify the suffrage amendment 3and complete the number needed to place it among the law of the land. The fight has beeg a long one, but the logic and the justice of the women's appeal for the right to -vote has over- come the strongest kind of opposition- The platforms of both pelitical parties this year declared for suffrage and for some time it has been realized that its goming was inevitable though it might Be delayed. The ratification comes in time for the women to vote in the na- tional election in November and makes possible an epochal step forward in their political rights. WHAT ABOUT GASOLINE? ‘What the users of gasoline are to do n the t of tnability of production| to keep up with demand is a question that is coming unpleasantly closa ta the Amer he output of mo:or 2ar factories is steadily gainng on the sutput of the refineries. Since August, 1919, according to tha United States ge- ological survey and bLareau of mines, there was an excess of constmption over production of crade 1etrclenr amounting to 26,717,240 barre yearly production has been at of 402,626,025 barrels but consumpti hes been at the rata of 436,343,265 barrels The automobile is largely, though net entirely to blame for this zecudition. From 1911 to January 1, 1920, the nu ber of automobiles inersiced 979 cent, while the oil outr increaseJ only 71 per cent. In 1911 there were 700,000 automobiles in the United States, but the number has now gpowa to an estimaté of 12,000,000 for 192¢. In the same time the use of crude ofl for steamships, locomotives and other fuel consuming industries hz3 larzely| wncreved, so that the automonile is rot| entitely responsible. In 1911 ther> was @z :vailable supply of 314 barrels of crude oil per car, in 1919 it had drapved; | Litvinoff is looking fer: ¢lever the United States may sav, {to the charm of the ukelele and Eng- e | covered “|paign to e the party in power. that car owners must be more careful in the use of gasoline and oil, . sparing much that has hitherto been’ wasted, and thus conserve the’ supply. Advane- ing prices will materially assist ~in bringing this saving plan _into vogue. The real answer, however, will be eith- er another fuel or a type of motor that consumes less “gas.” Both are getting careful consideration. Aleohol jin some form, the adaptation of the Diesel en- gine to truck and tractors, and other expedients are among the resources look- ed to for relief from the situation. In the meantime the auto makers are | steadily gaining on the gasoline supply. JAPAN AND THE MOVIES Censorship for the movies in Japan has been set up along lines different from what reformers of this popu.ar entertainment feature have attempted here. The Japanese plan -is fer the separation of adults and chiidren at movie shows and a different set of re- strictions upon the pictures to pe shown to adults and the pictures for those un- der sixteen. The new regulation followed the crime of two boys who carried off and myrdered two school girls and the po- lice were convinced that the boy: were inspired to the crime by a moving pic- ture they had seen. Some uplifters in thi scountry have based their demand for a closer censor- ship of the movies upon the scatemeat that some pictures now shown are de- moralizing to childish imaginations aad result in harm. Others have asked for special pictures for children, on the ground that pictures should be. made a source of inspiration to fine ideals among them rather than a stimulus to evil. The Japanese séem to have serv- ed both ends by a single stroke. If a manager wants the pennies of the chil- dren he must provide films suitable to their separate entertainment. As for the adults they can no doubt have the movies just as bad as they like them, the danger of contanyinating children Leing removed by keeping all children out of the adylt shows. As a progrom for the reformers of the movies in this country this example offers something more definite and practicable than they have yet devised for themselves. RUSSIA AND THE UNITED STATES Maxim Litvinoff, assistant foreign minister of the bolshevik government, has no doubt that friendly relations will be established within the next twelve months between the Russian govern- ment and the United States. He is probably right, but these relations will be with anotier Rusifan gosernment theny is now in power. The bolshevik minister can hardly have read the note of Secre- tary Colby. Here is the -solution that Whatever France may do and what- I am exist between Russia, Great Britain,~Germany and the ited States, these countries forming the true kernel.of the real league na- tions, while France, if she retains her present leaders, will find herself isolated and forsaken. So we are expected to desert France, throw ourselves into the arms of 'Ger- many, and take to our heart the mon- strous conspiracy against law, liberty, decency and honor, known as soviet Russia. That this shameful program would ever be adopted by the American government is unthinkable. The note of Secretary Colby was a straight thrust at the so-called government of Russia. But more than that, it was directed against the. widespread loese thinking in regard to bolshevism. The administration feit, and rightly, thatasaresultof this loose thinking there had developed a feeling of lethargy, which is in itself a’ menace, with respect to soviet principles. It is well that America should have spoken officially, and most emphatically, in con- demnation of them. The note will be powerfully reinforced by the revelations concerning the bolshevik aetivities in this country that centered round Mar- this government and a government in Russia that will not be an insult and a menace to civilization. itvinoff will not be a member of it, nor will Lenine and Trotzky be associated with it DIETORIAL NOTES One more day of cloudy with showers.

' fi by some of the authorities FROM wmys DIARY - It is ust about a year ago now that I had a delightful little trip to Paris from Souilly, where Miss Florence and I were stationed with the headquarters company of the 000th engineers. I was working along in the monotonous rou- tine of the canteen without a thought of taking 2 leave, when Naomi told me one morning that she had permission to go to Paris. “It won't be exactly a pleasure trip.” she smiled rather ruefully. “Maj. Red- woods looked at that tooth -which has been “troubling me, and says that the army dentists here aren’t equipped to do the work I need, so I must go to Paris for a few days” “Well,” 1 said, “you can surely nave some fun out of it.” “The fact is, Lucile, I hate to go. You know I'm helping the boys who are go- ing to give a play neit month. I have so_much to do.” s The evening after this conversation Naomi came into our billet, where I was policing myself for dinner at the officers’ mess, and announced that she had given up the journey to Paris for tne present “Some of the boys in the play have Jjust got their orders to report at school in Bordeaux the first of th& month,”} she explained, “and we are going to rush the entertainment so that we can have it next week. I can't desert them now. As it is I'll have to sit up nights to get Tom Snell’'s costume de ballet done, to say nothing of the chorus girls’ finery,” “But you have your mqvement order and everything,” I said. “I don’t care. Nothing would induce me to go,’ Naomi answered, powdering her nose with more determination than care. “If I go to Paris tomorrow, I can do any shopping or errands you wish at- tended to, Naomi” I remarked a few hours later, when Wwe were going to ned. /“You go to Paris! Why, I didn‘t know you even thought of it.” \ “Well, you see it occurred to me to- night that it was a pity to-let a per- fectly good movement order e vas‘ed. so I have about decided to take your movement order, as you aren’t going to use it. and can run into Paris tomorrow for a few days’ much needed chanags I am really getting a bit stale, Naomi" “But how ean you use my movement order?” she asked. . “It's merely a matter of red tape, and nobody will question me, I'm sure. What does it signify whether you use it or I? We are both American girls doing the same work here under the same cercum- stances. “It seems to me, when that move- ment order was issued to me because T had a bona fide reasons for going to Paris, that I am the only one entitled to use it.” 3 “Very well, Naomi,” I said quietly, “if you intend to allow a silly techincal- |] ity to interfere with my having a really necessary holiday, I bhave to bow to your will, and I—" but I could not finish. I was so dreadfully disappoint- ed that I burst into tears. I cried a good deal through the night, and I suppose I was overwrought and homesick, for I got intd a nervous state and sobbed loudly. At three o'clock in the morning, when 1 was looking at my radio watch, Naomi sai@ most graci- ously that she wouddn‘t give her move- | ment order to me, but if I chose to take it she would be glad to have me go. I went to sleep at last. ‘Capt. Aubrey had told me at mess that he was .going on three days’ leave to Paris and that I could drive over to Bar le Duc withehim to get the train. It was extremely pleasant to have com- pany all the way to Paris, and the cap- tain was most thoughtful about taking me to see the great war panorama and all the good shows, as he called them. Indeed, he kept me so busy that I did not have time to do the shopping that Naom! had requested. I meant to do it after he had left town, but the morn- ing he was returning to Souilly he came to my hotel early to tell me that he was driving back in a reconnoisance car with some officers who were going to the Verdun front. He said there was a seat for me in it. It was a marvelous drive. We arrived at my billet at 11:45 that night and Naomi was really startled when I stalked in and turned én the light. and told her what a glorious time I had had. The day after the boys' play Naomi's bad tooth hurt her excruciatingly. She telephoned to the welfare directress at Toul for a movement order to FParis. “Why do you wish another order so soon?” was the immediate question, and Naomi explained that she hadn’t been to Paris yet. “But your movement order was turn- ed,” protested the directress. “It was used.” 4 Then Naomi informed her that I had used it, and she told me afterward that the directress said we should really be disciplined. . Naomi felt so bad about it that I gen- erously offered to Write in and take all the blame,” which I did. I received a lovely reply, saying that as the order was used for an.emergency the matter umphantly showed this letter to Naomi would be overlooked. When I tri- she smiled eryptically. Really, I never could -understand Naomi. Stories That Recall Others Mother Hubbard’s Dog Mary's teacher one day asked her to draw a picture of Old Mother Hubbard's house, showing Old Mother Hubbard and her dog. Very quickly Mary drew the rough outlines of what was supposed to be a house, placing the crude form of Old Mother -Hubbard beside the door. Then, with a self-satisfied air, she hand- ed her finished product to the teacher. “That is very good, Mary,” commented | the teacher, as she looked at the draw- | ing, “but where is the dog?* “Oh, the dog is in the house,” prompt- ly replied Mary. Not a8 Dead One For three strenucus hours the <uc- tioneer had tried to work his disteners up to the proper pitch of enthusiasm. But either the weather or their luncn had disagreed with them and they sir- ply wouldn't be aroused. The sale was one of horses, and lot after after lot for very poor prices. At last a sad and bony animal was led into the ring. “Now, gentlemen, shouted the aution- eer, “what offers for this Ilot? witll somebody start the bidding?” There was a pause. Thea a voice came slowly from somewhere in the nid- dle of the crowd. “Two dollars,” it said. “Gentlemen, gentlemen!” protested the auctioneer tearfully. “The horse is alive !” German Stredt-ear Service Cut Owing to the enormous increase in the cost of operation, street-car service in many of the smaller German cities has been discontinued. Jena, Wuerz- burg, Freiberg and Heilbronn are among the towns trying now to get along" with- out trams. Attempts were made to keep the lines gaing by radical increase in fares, but the public, unable to pay the price, took to walking. Berlin and other large cities, where Street-car traffic has fallen off alarm- ingly because of increased fares, are facing the problem of reorganizing the | service, retaining only those lines which are absolutely necessary for the accom- modation of persons having to travel long distances. Wagons and carts brought out to give a lift to pedestrians during recent strikes of street-car em- ployes have indicated which routes through Berlin are vital for transpor- tation.
