And they are still coming. The Ku Klux Klan demonstrated its hold on the Oregon primaries. The demonstration should be more disquieting to Oregon than toghe vest of the country. A State that feeis itself slipping mto the political clutches of the Ku Klux had better note its own symptoms and prescribe itself a course of setting-up exercises. QUEER COMPANY. I’ is unfortunate the exposures of Attorney General Daugherty’s connection with the Morse case should have been made as they have: Neither Senator Watson nor Senator Caraway stands high in public confidence. Their lack of standing will in a measure prejudice the judgment of the public. Felder can say with confidence: “Making this contract with C. W. Morse involved neither unprofesgional, unethical nor improper conduct. Contracts of this sort are made daily by lawyers throughout the United States.” This is true in the sense that the courts and bar associations recognize a border zone of conduct which they do not approve but are not ready to punish. The kind of lawyers who make contin- gent fee contracts are tricky and adroit in dodging disbarment, but the better class of lawyers do not approve such tactics. This is the sort of company in which Attorney _ General Daugherty finds himself. It is most de- _ €idedly not the stratum of the legal profession from which the country has been accustomed to draft Attorney Generals. a 4 Ulster M. 5 Headline, It wouldn't be Belfast if it failed to celebrate every truce with a few killings. P. Fatally Shot in Belfast.— ih 98-CENT MAN. ¥ 0 oral analyzing the chemical composi- hs tion of the human body computes its value as 98 cents. Fat for soapmaking, iron to make a nail, lime for whitewash, a speck of sulphur, a small quan- tity of sugar and infinitesimal quantities of rarer and more expensive chemicals might be recovered from the body of “the average man.” From time to time it is helpful to get this sort of an estimate. It checks an overplus of human egotism. But it doesn’t tell more than a fraction z of the story--even from the viewpoint of the 5 chemist. If the carbon of the man’s boneywere in the form of a diamond instead of the boneblack of the laboratory test tube its value would be multiplied a thousand-fold. If the iron alone were made into delicately temperéd watch springs instead of into a crude nail it would be worth many times the 98-cent valuation of the bod) And 50 it goes with other elements that make a man. It isn’t the raw material value that county, It is the refinements and combination that make man more valuable than the mud from which Mr. Bryan s2ys he was derived. : Quebec’s Board of Trade has informed mein- bers that speeches at any general meeting must not be longer than three minutes unless the speaker has something to talk about.

N its face, the el€venth-hour agreement on an Irish Coalition Government seems to give the De Valera faction a representation out of pro- portion to its strength. Viewed in this way, it "may seem to be a triumph for the Republicans. By agreement, the Republican faction is to have ‘va larger vote in the Dail and in the Government than it could hope to win at the polls. Treland is to have what will pass for an election. ision on the treaty is postponed. The first and evident task of the new Government will be restore order and punish insurgency. This is hat the Republicans pay for minority power in SLE EAE EET I THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, Collins was able to concede a great deal not so much because the Republicans were strong as be- cause the Free State advocates have so much more to gain by a state of peace in Ireland. De Valera gets seats in the Dail and in the Cabinet. The Free Staters get Republican co-operation in mak- ing Ireland peacéful. Nothing will strengthen the peace party as much as actual peace. “Viewed in this light, Collins made a good bar= gain. He could afford to go a long way because he loves Ireland more than he hates England. It is worth any price in place and office to gain time for pacification and the development of a constructive policy that will eventually lead to a free and unterrorized election. UNANSWERED. N his review of the Genoa Conference printed in The World yesterday, Mr. Frank A. Vanderlip dwells upon the risks involved in pushing too far the logic of refusing contact or dealings with the present Soviet Government in Russia. “Russia,” Mr. Vanderlip reminds us, “is in a state of extreme economic disorganization. “dts economic life can be.saved and its health restored within a reasonable period only if the capitalistic world grants huge ~ credits, temporarily feeds the famished people, rehabilitates the broken-down transportation systems, supplies a huge nation with tools and manufactured articles and gives the beginning to a stabilized currency system in place of the present bottomless morass of paper money.” If this aid is withheld, Mr. Vanderlip sees the sickness of a demoralized, famine-stricken Russia , spreading across the Russian borders and contami- nating the rest of Europe. “We must think of that when insisting on the complete removal of Bolshevism from the Russian brain before they infringe on our logical policy of non-intercourse.” That is one aspect of the Russian problem. Vanderlip draws it vividly and well. But, onthe other hand, what about the risk of aiding Russia on Soviet terms which the Soviet Government can use and means to use primarily for the strengthening of its own prestige? In the famous Soviet memorandum which broke up the Genoa Conference nothing was more signifi- cant than the following: “Measures aimed at the-relief of Russia can only be applied by the Government itself or according to a scheme drawn up in advance.” In other words, the same Soviet Government that has reduced Russian industry to its present chaos and sunk Russian currency into “the present bottomless morass of paper money” proposes to have the administering of outside aid contributed to remedy the very conditions that Government has produced. Is there not also risk in relieving Russia without safeguards ‘that will prevent the capitalizing of that relief for the further propagation of Sovietism in and perhaps beyond Russia? This is the other aspect of the Russian problem that presents) itself to what Mr. Vanderlip calls “the capitalistic world.” With the will to help the Russian people, how are we to help them through the only Government that now exists in Russia without at the same time helping that Government to a stronger hold on them and to a still bolder stand against the eco- nomic principles of the rest of the world? Genoa found no answer for this question, does Mr. Vanderlip suggest one. It goes unanswered to The Hague.

NORMAN MICHA York, May 17, 1 New Che Philosophy of Henry George. ‘To the Editor of The Evening World: Ave we living under a righteous or- der to-day? Is there not something radically wrong with our laws and customs that men should have become so depraved? We believe that there is. We have faith in our fellow men We believe that they are innately good, the great majority of them. Now, a in the time of Jesus of Nazaveti, theré are many who love darkness rather than Nght because their deers. are evil, They are the parasites who. préy on their fellow men, who have been so busy amassing wealth that they have nevér taken time to thoughtfully and seriously study the history of man on this planet or the word of God as given to us in the Bible. Seven hundred years before the birth of Christ, Isaiah arraigned man above everything else for the covetous amassment of land and its resources, without which men cannot live on this planet, The copper, coal, salt and hundreds of other natural pro- ducts of earth were intended for all, for one as well as for another. When these parasites are allowed to monopolize them our laws should be changed so as to give equality of opportunity in a universe planned for good, Permit me here to quote the tem- perate and kindly comment of a one- time millionaire, Tom L, Johnson of Cleveland, 0., on the duty of every man posting himself on the teaciiings of Henry George: "The time is not tay distant when the professional or business man who does not under- stand the philosophy of Henry George Will stand discredited in any intelli- gent community. A knowledge of this philosophy will = broaden and strengthen any mean morally and intellectually; will make him a more public spirited citizen aud better equip him for the duties of business and professional life, It will give him a clearer comprehension of lis duties to his fellow man, fo the state and to the Great Ruler of the universe, litt- ing him immeasurably above the low plane of vanity, sordidness and selfishness which now seems to be the chief end of man.” Once we had in this country the finest civilization that had existed since the time of the Nazarene. That was when land was as free and easy of access as the flowers of Califor- nia, Now, though it {s still plentiful, it has all been selzed and is held at prohibitory prices. Change our un- just man-made laws to those which will grant equality of opportunity in the use of the earth and its re- sources and we will soon have “a righteous order.” ‘To make men holy you must finst give them to be happy.

The man who tries to be his own doctor may count an unhappy life. Sufficient knowledge of the complicated human ma- chinery to be able to get it back in working order when out of adjustment required at least four years in a medical school and many more years of study and experience. The man who fancies he knows the remedy for every ailment he possesses is quite likely to make those ailments worse by ignorant tinkering with them. Far better call a doctor when you are sick and follow his advice as to what to do. If you own an automobile—which you, probably do— you know that when it stops running smoothly it is wiser to go to somebody who knows about its insides than to try to fix it yourself—unless you happen to be a mechanician. But you can Jearn enough about your car to keep it from contracting most automobile disorders—if you use it carefully. You can, for example. sce that it is always oiled, that the batteries are always supplied with the right amount of water and that it is kept clean all the time. Attend to that and you will save a great deal on re- pair bills. The use of ordinary intelligence will enable you to make a similar saving on repairs for the machine which vou inhabit and on which you depend for your comfort and happiness. It is easy to learn what sort of food disagrees with you and where is the line between eating and overeating. A very little experience will tell you how much exercise is necessary for your well-being and just how many hours of sleep you require every day, The evidence of your body and mind as to the amount of labor they can perform is not always trustworthy, Both will announce that they are tired long before they have reached their capacity, which proves that, like you, they are only human. Don’t be afraid to drive them a little further than they want to be driven. But if they finally rebei, ease their load a trifle. Keep your body in health and you may never need the doctor at all—certainly you will not need at some time of your life to put yourself wholly under his direction or go to his hospital, that he may take you apart and put you to- gether again. Care will save your auto repair bills, and~it will save your bodily repair bills. Also" it will save time and insure happiness. It is well worth all the thought that it requires, RADA ADAIR AARP ecensceeesesetigeesthta ae AACR ri, WHOSE BIRTHDAY?!

Coen: BRA Rath Basan XVIIL—PHILIP OF MACEDON'S ' GOLD MINE, When Philip of Mecedon started oti to conquer Greeco—a task which he son accomplished, together with the conquest of the then known world he realized the need of moncy to keep things going. So he went into the mining busi ness on a large scale. Strymon the Struma and in the Pangaeus range, seized thie gold mines which the Athenians had been working in a slipshod way. He crossed the River—now He began his mining operations 1) establishing a mining’ camp, which within his own day grew Into the great city of Philippi, Then he devisea nd applied modern methods—or whut were at that time modern methods to the mining business. It 1s a matter of historic record that he boosted production until the mines yielded more than a million dollars annually. This gold he minted into colng with his effigy on them That early currency went into many an Athenian pocket and into the pocket of many another Greek in the course of Philip's propaganda to make the Greeks sce that Macedonian leai- ership was the best thing for them For, at that time as now, the soli mine was the most effective form ot propaganda. But, from this gold mines across the Strymon, Philip also filled the war chest which he bequeathed brilliant son Alexander. It was from the holes in the ground in the Pan gaeus range that Alexander obtained the yellow metal that enabled him to. conquer the world—and, if tradition is correct, finally placed him in the position of weeping because hic no more worlds to conquer Of course, in accordance wit spirit of the time, Phillp's gold mines were worked chiefly by slaves: slaves recruited from Greece. No trace, except the aforemer tioned holes in the ground, remains of Philip's gold mines, nor of the chinery with which they were we nor of the settlements of men wh worked them. Like the pre-historle gold of Africa, they have vanished ci pletely from the face of the eart Only an/occasional gold coin with th effigy of Philip is discovered now and then to remind archaeologists their existence.

What a story of human progress dating back to the early Phoenicians, lurks in the word “cinnamon!” For the common article of kitchen use was brought to Europe thousands of years ago by the seafaring Phoe- nicians from the Island of Ceylon ov the Hastern Archipelago. The Phoenicians, perhaps with the ald of the Arabs, brought it to Pales tine. These earliest of traders called ‘he article “quinamon,” or “qineman.” The Greeks, with the article, adop! ed the word, calling the ple smelling and tasting stuff kinname non or kinnamon, From this source the word was adopted directly into many Buropesn languages, although in one of them a Slavic Ianguage—the article in known as “darchin.” >_ eT 29...
