Doubt has been removed and the whole world is going to ta the Dawes report as truth as to Germany's capacity. Poincare » right to feel vindicated, and here's a glass of claret to him, at that first cafe table on Rue de la Paix as you turn off Boule- yard Hausmann—that table tended by the black-eyed angel who makes you feel like sitting there to absorb a whole barrel of grape juice at German allies refused to be has sor Tt looks as tho Mr. Underwood's band wagon is going to come thru without being soiled by use. If “Bat” Could Come Back EADING in The Star, almost every day, of “hit-and- run” driv eckless speed fiends and careless motor- ists, we sigh for the good old days. We have an idea that if Bat Masterson, famous sheriff of Dodge City, could come back to earth and me the role of traffic di- rector, we'd have a little less nonchalance about auto ac- cidents. . What Bat would do to a hit-and-run driver, when he caught him—and Bat would catch him—would be a-plenty. Harry Daugherty says he is proud of his record as attorney general, . Which shows that pride comes after a Fall, too, It Isn’t Regular BSERVE the crass impudence of the farmers’ granges of the Northwest! Actually, the farmers ask that Washington go to “muck-raking” the War Finance cor- poration on the ground that U. S. senators, their rela- tives and business associates have been granted big loans, while farmers have been unable to borrow a dallar. It is the duty of the farmers to walk up to the polls and vote for the same old gang that is running the War Finance corporation. All the War Finance funds may be in the hands of senators, relatives and business cronies, but it is no time for finding out. “Muck-raking” is very unpopular—at Washington. It hurts President Coolidge’s feelings, isn’t good for the party and has « tendency to impair public confidence by jailing perfectly splendid po- litical bosses, big and little. Let the farmers stick to raking hay and let raking private graft and favoritism out of government alone. Let them be regular and easy. That's what is expected of them. ‘A Chicago lady killed her man and then played the phonograph beside the corpse for two hours, proving that she could be kind before being _ cruel It Doesn’t Hurt N ONE day’s newspaper we observe Senator Shortridge wiring hearty congratulations to California on his pass- age of his measure barring Japs. Also, Secretary Hughes delivering a big speech indorsing the president as an ideal executive. It sounds just like two bully boys pleased with their jobs and willing to hang on. c There's a lack of finesse in the fellow who doesn’t, oc- casionally, tell the boss that he is a fine boss, as in the husband who fails to, oceasionally, tell wife that he loves her, no matter how often he has told her so before. Bosses resemble wives in that they like to be petted. A scientist has invented a process for preserving eggs for 100 years, but that seems inadequate since we have learned what the Mongolian desert can do. Spendthrift Cities TITIES haye embarked on another big spending jag. More municipal bonds issue were authorized and sold during March than in any March since 1915. The total was over 88 million dollars. Municipalities in our country are mortgaging the fu- ture, by new bonds, at the rate of more than a billion dollars a year. While a lot of this spending is for perman- ent public improvements, the expenditure is far beyond What can be afforded. It’s like a man constantly spend- ing more than he makes, and increasingly going into debt to pay the difference. A showdown is inevitable. Will it come in the form of a taxpaxers’ strike? Probably with the idea of trying out “the still, small voice” in polities, the Rhode Island democracy has declared for Al Smith, Staying at the Top JTS as difficult to stay at the top as it is to get there. 4. The REAL hard work doesn’t begin until a man estab- lishes a high record that he is expected to live up to. Arnold Bennett, the writer, in a year has turned out 335,000 words—including 224 short stories, a novel, two serials and a book of plays. This is only a thousand words a day, to be true, but it’s high-class matter. Writing real stuff is more exhausting than hard physical labor—in the Jong run. And it’s as much a business as selling se usages or hardware. A Bavarian town will pl x on foreign words, making it neces- sary for all to ‘learn how to jott in himmel,” or get soaked. . ' Flies anc: Japs USTRALIA bars the Japs. Canada Jets in 150 an- nually, Australia looks safe, but let us consider Canada. ; One hundred and fifty Canadian Japs in 1924 mean, in 1925, the original 150 plus 250 of their progeny, plus another incoming 150; that is, 550 inerease in Canadian Japs in the second year. Figuring fresh comers at 150 annually, each squad yielding 250 annually and the chil- dren producing five kids per couple within 18 years of their arrival, in 25 years, Canada—oh well! You ean figure it just as you do in the case of flies. One female fly produces 2,500,000 eggs, each egg is, potentially, 2,- 500,000 more flies, and so forth, and, in no time, you have nothing but flies. However, you can swat flies without danger of “grave consequences,” ) | | | \ OB DEAR - 1HoPe This'LL CURE Wm QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS An get an answer to any Question of fact or tn tion b THROWING MONEY AWAY | BY ALBERT APPLE HE easiest way to get rich is to supply a necessity or | provide entertainment fér the public.
