The city council and the chief of police are trying to get together to ban the street banner. If there is one pSspecific thing that stamps a big city with a small-town sstamp, it is street banner Whether ba is telling who is the best man for }mayor or is announcing the next “Old iddlers’ Conven- tion,” it is always an unsightly nuisance.

Eagle Plays Dove HE American eagle is not generally regarded as a dove of peace. But it is—and one of the most de- pendable—providing it is on a gold piece. J. Pierpont Morgan’s banking group has announced a , to mature, according to re- ports, in one year. This can mean but one thing, and I that is that Wall Street- pretty good at finding out which way the cat is going to jump—is convinced Teparations and kindred troubles, which France and Eu- Tope are now up against, will shortly be satisfactorily Settled. . A hundred-million-dollar loan to France, without such a settlement, would help neither France nor prove profit- able to those who furnished the money. Such a loan can only afford a very temporary relief and save the franc pending a definite settlement. Wall Street knows that. And when it makes this short- time loan it does so secure in the belief which virtually amounts to a certainty that a general and satisfactory European settlement is imminent. “Fixing” the Future ICES are being “fixed” now as never before, says chairman Thompson of federal trade commission. *He warns: “If price-fixing continues we will have a col- epee that will wipe out the business structure. This is _what happened after the civil war. We will repeat the /economic war which followed that conflict and ended ‘in the panic of 1873, unless we change our ways.” __ The trouble is, price-fixers rarely care about the future. ‘A pig is not intefested beyond its trough. |, The Cost of Rust a IN rust costs Americans three billion dollars a year, |} 4 steel makers estimate. That is the cost of replacing ‘pipes and other iron things ruined by rust. + This is a gain and a loss, in the same breath. Every- ‘thing is steadily wearing out. But that wearing out is } what keeps business going, making new articles. If noth- ‘ing ever wore out, tho, no one would have to work. ‘That! ‘wouldn’t fit with nature’s plans, so she is constantly de- 3 so The Fruits of Success 'P)\OUGLAS FAIRBANKS soon sails for Europe.

America is the land of opportunity—and of amazing surprises. Discouragement is foolish, for one never knows what fortune lies in store just around the corner. Leave It to the People! ENATORS are discussing the suggestion that amend- ments to the constitution should be ratified by a direct vote of the people. They certainly should be. Ref- erendum is the ideal form of popular government. It is direct contact—direct government of, by and for the + people. When our government was started citizens were scat- tered thru a. wilderne There were no trains, very jlittle mail service, so it was necessary to leave the great 4matters of government in the hands of elected officials. A referendum would have been impossible. But trans- portation and communication now are so rapid and thoro that those original objections to a referendum, as a work- jing proposition, are removed. Seeing the Light EW YORK state made an honest and straightforward Fe effort to protect workingwomen. It provided for Jimited hours of employment, sanitary conditions and fair dealing. Employers didn’t like that sort of law and, as is usually done, carried the matter into court. The su- preme court of the United States—hear it with surprise —has just decided that the New York law is all right, according to Hoyle and even the constitution of the United States! Astounding, but, in addition, the court has de- livered no more clean-cut decision in many a day. Out of it is born a hope, + Some day—let us hope, some near day—it will be pos- isible to obtain a law that will give proper protection to {children who are now cruelly compelled to lives of toil. "Up to date, the supreme court has been the chief obstacle in the way of such a comprehensive law, but it may be seeing a new light. Indeed, it may be discovering that humanity really rises superior to technical interpretations.

Did you ever read an articlo about ‘any prominent woman, whether she be artist, worker, politiclan or merely the wife of & great man, but the fact is stremed that she adores getting into the kitchen and preparing ® meal? Every time a new governor office, or a senator makes hin initial bow in Washington, We are treated to long columns about what a charming, accom- plished, and, at the same time, simple and home-loving creature his wife {s. We are surfelted with pictures of actresses and wocial service workers posing amid a litter of kitchen uten ails; aingers and painters, writ- ers and business women, all must end thetr public Interviews with a passionate ode to the cook stove. No woman ever attains tha Front Page without this same line of sex advertising. .. We are always led. to believe that, while she may dote up n her profession, yet the great cos. mic urge forces her kitchen- ward, and that what she loves best in the world is to get into her bungalow apron and stir up a cake, There can be no doubt that many of these women do have domestic tendencies, but why infer, because their work takes them elsewhere, or when they have finished with housework, they should constantly be re- gretting the fact? Why pretend that a love for cooking ts the chief mark of excellent in a woman any more than we would deem any public man better, nobler, or more compe- tent, if he should suddenly an- nounce that he enjoyed tending to the furnace? For, after all, there are few good women, be they rich or oor, great or obscure, who are not willing to give up either thelr work or pleasure for serv- ice to thelr families, if called upon to do so by necessity. Ninety-five per cent of Amer- {ean women do their own house. work, and it {s for the sake of these women that we utter this protest. For to the honsewifa who is obliged to spend the most of her time in the kitchen, and to whom the art of cookery {s not a pastime, but a stern duty, this sort of parlor prop- &ganda gets very tiresome. For, when we sift the facts from the fancies, we generally find that the women who have such a passion for the kitchen are those who do not have to stay fn it.
