Bpectal Representatives Ban Francieoe dune Bidg.; New Terk effion ncisco, ©The new million-dollar “corn king” advises eve the grain pit, which shows he is a good sport, skins ‘em, : Up to Wall Street F YOU have been reading the cablegrams you must have often seen that “the American bankers object,” “the American bankers demand,” “the reparations com- mission is not held in favor by the American bankers” and similar information respecting the hitches in the con- ference of the nations over the Dawes report. It isn't America that is over there deciding Europe's fate and establishing conditions that will prevent another great war. It is Wall Street. If the right. guarantees are given Pierpont Morgan, Tom Lamont and other representatives of the kings of finance, Wall Street will lend Germany $200,000,000, for a starter. Otherwise, chaos. Wall Street as savior of Europe, or blood! If Wall Street controls this loan, what will it do? It will place the securities on the market and get a large juicy rake-off thru their disposal. There are in our country 8,000,000 German born people or people having one or both parents born in Germany. To suggest that the American government offer the $200,000,000 of securities to these people—and to all of us—without a rake-off for anybody, would be putting “more government in business” and bolshevikish, wouldn't it? Risk to Uncle Sam? Do you suppose that Wall Street is going to loan foreigners $200,000,000 without reliance upon Uncle to collect, if needs be? He warns ‘em before he Gone are the days when it was possible to obtain a change of scene, The diilboards are the same every where. Riot With Hair in It HERE is solid ground for Mexico becoming riotous over the bobbed hair issue. One cannot pay much of a visit in that country without noticing the magnificent heads of hair of most of the women. They get it by not habitually wearing hot, close head covering. The modern headgear of elsewhere makes such Mex women look like Aunt Kate with one of those large fruit-feather-vegetable effects of 1870 on her head, but said modern headgear does improve the looks of the Mexican short-hairs, and hence the riot over introduction of the bobbed style, which will make the long-hairs bob and so destroy their su- periority of hirsute charm. - One might indifferently exclaim, “Go to it, ladies!” only When Mex women fight, their men usually do, too. | Someoné said, “Go to the ant, thou sluggard,” and thus picnics were invented. : Rallying the Spade Vote R. COOLIDGE’S political manager isn’t missing a ’ point. He is now after the farmer vote, seriously. Mr. Coolidge has broken the ground for a new church $ite in Washington thus, as broadcast by wire to the World, and anybody can see that he has farmer instincts, all right: « “The president, apparently at ease with the spade, Shoved deep into the earth with his foot and turned up three spadefuls in quick order.” » As Mr. Coolidge has been running for political office during most all of his maturity, he probably acquired his ease with the spade at digging angleworms for bait, ’way pack in his boyhood in Vermont. Any farmer will tify that ease with a spade, once acquired, is not often ‘orgotten, and, of course, no president should be without it. Also, the doubtful Middle West farmers will please ote that the republican nominee shoves deep with his foot. The democratic and independent nominees would, haps, shove with their heads or jump on the spade With both feet. Mr. Coolidge is still further en rapport with humble, voting tillers of the soil in that he turns only three spadefuls. Economy of labor. Four spadefuls might have made too big a hole. ; Great Caesar! What bunk the politicians feed us! Points an Old Moral S$— WAS taught conseience until I was eight years old,” bs said young Leopold, the confessed Chicago killed. “But after that time I drilled conscience out of myself.” “He succeeded in the drilling, for he committed a crime so brutal and inexcusable as to shock, not a community, but an entire nation. He had no conscience to guide him and, rudderless gp a sea of wrong that edged the land of right, he floated into crime willingly, even gleefully. ’ There is nothing redeeming or good about Leopold, but he has emphasized an old moral to adorn a miserable tale. It isn’t the fruit of books, the written law, or the culture offered by refined surroundings that lift men above the lowest and vilest of the earth’s population. It is the little something inside of the individual person that directs his mind and stays his hand. Without it he isn’t civilized and the world -is worse for his having lived. Leopold is a horrible example. Any other gentleman present who wishes to whip Mr. Carpentier? Brother Charlie Bucks ey pare CHARLIE BRYAN, governor, refuses to call out Nebraska’s farmers and laborers on Mr. Coolidge’s National Defense day, on the ground that that day’s exhibit will be a “war gesture.” Whether other governors do or do not follow Brother Charlie's example, it is extremely probable that Defense day will be far from a complete exhibit of the nation’s potentialities in the matter of defense. It certainly will be incomplete with the farmers and laborers out of it, and cannot be complete without the wives and mothers who > go without sugar, flour, meat and coal in war times. The last war demonstrated, beyond all doubt, that the vast majority of defenders do not wear a uniform or carry a gun, They fight with labor, sacrifice and endurance, and the next war will demand still more of them, i Maybe some of the foreign people will look on the Cool- fee Defense day as a “war gesture.” But the president S power to put the scheme thru, and is going to do it. $0 maybe it would be better to make it one whale of gesture than to make it evident that a part of us wouldn't ght when called upon, What do you think? | Sez Dumbell Dud: Trish tory if, rec prove Questions ¢ Answered * Can dogs have appe' A, Strictly speaking, th as there is no appendi but they from inflammation do occasionally of this caccum suffer | part. ald of water before the symptoms are fully developed he drinks a great deal ond ¢ during the latter stages, tho unable to will thrust his mussle of water and try to drink } 4 be x ‘OU can get an answer to any | Y question of fact or informa | tion by ing The Question | Editor, 1 New York Washington, D, C., and | two cents in loose stamps | ply.

J, GILL, tee VOCATIONAL TRAINING Editor The Star: 1 started vocational training in the army hospital at the Presidio, San Francisco, January of 1919. On being transferred to the U. S, Ma- rine barracksat Mare island, March, 1919, my records were confused or lost and I have been unable to se- cure training since, The cause is that another man's recorda were in my folder and, as he had let his period elapse for training, the bureau notified me that I wasn't cligible on that account. Just pure carelessness and inef- ficlency on the part of the veterans’ bureau. When here In Seattle last April to take a physical examination thru the bureau, I had my folder gone thru to prove that I had never re- fused vocational training and that Was when this other man's records were found in my folder. T then applied again for a course }of training; not being able to get any satisfaction I returned to Alaska, A couple of months later T re- ceived word that T had been found eligible for training, under section 4, which T supposed was training with pay—the only training that a married man could accept, On arriving here July 1 T found that it was training without pay, so T appealed the case and the slow- working machinery of the bureau, and especially the board of appeals, has Kept mo inactive up to this time, July 21, 1 finally got a them that, as they judged that I had no yoeational handicap, they had decided against me.

Why was there nothing sald in The Star about the big time the Ku Klux Klan had at Stanwood and how everything went off so nicely? You were asked to give a write-up about the big time the Ku Klux Klan was going to have at Issaquah July 26, On the third or fourth page thete was a little piece about two and one-half inches long telling in a weak, little way a few words about it, Did anyone see in Monday's Star (July 28) anything in big headlines about 11,442 cars being there or about 45,768 people being on the grounds?
