About 20 or 25 years ago, the one-man power was estab- HNshed along Prussian lines—a system unique to St. Louis. As long as 14 years ago, even German teachers were enraged at such autocracy in our great United States. “When our boys fought to estab- lish democracy in Central Europe, the teachers here realized more keenly the violation of the principle of democracy, and in spite of the cudgel, they grew braver. Why should we not have democracy in St. Louis? While the teachers stood alone, it was impossible to change this system; after organization, the high cost of living forced them to give their immediate attention to salary.

We are asking no more than all Government employes have: namely, civil service tenure after demon- stating our fitness to teach. “The second feature of our bill which some principals oppose is that when a teacher is to be dropped, the board as a whole is to consider his or her case because we elieve that 12 people would reach a fairer decision than one person could possibly do. , “Everywhere in large corporations they Are calling workers from the mans.

Suggestion that he would welcome the co-operation of a committee of citizens, men and women, in hear- ing applications for paroles from the! workhouse, was offered today by Cir- cuit Judge Landwehr, who sits in Division No. 10 of the criminal divi- eion. Although Judge Landwehr agrees there is justification for the uproar esainst paroling prisoners because ‘of the misdeeds of prisoners who i ; have obtained leniency and then be- trayed the trust, he reminds that this {is no reason for ignoring the cases of deserving persons. The public outery against paroles, however, has reduced paroles, in his court at least, to the absolute mini- ‘Tdum, as he points out that a Judge the ; does not court odium, even though tie acts descried are in perfect good faith. The Judge believes 4 commit- tee composed of. representatives of : nowspapers and possibly’ the Chamber of Commerce and other civie organizations, could sit in with the Judges, hear the plaints of rela- tives as to needy families and the deserts of the prisoners whose vases yerere up, probably prevent the parol- - d “remedy conditions, ‘ing of unworthy applicants and aid in getting clemency for others en- titled to it.

As Sweeney was unable to pay the fine he will spend Christmas in the workhouse.

ADVANCEMENT OF FRISCO TAX SUIT ASKED FOR BY M’ALLISTER Missouri Attorney-General Before U. S. Supreme Court in Franchise Levy Case. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Attor- ney-General McAllister of Missouri asked the Supreme Court today to advanes for early hearing the suit brought by the St. Louis & San Fran- cisco Railway Co. to test the validity of the State law requiring domestic and foreign corporations to pay an annual franchise tax. “Some 20 suits are now pending in the trial courts of the State and of the United States involving the same objections,” the petitioner said, “and many taxpayers who have not yet filed suits are refusing to pay the taxes assessed against them and will seek injunction in the courts if any effort is made to enforce payment.” AUTHORITY FOR CONSOLIDATION OF EXPRESS COMPANIES GRANTED I. C. C.. Holds Public Would Be Best by One Concern With Rates Equal, By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—-Author- | ity was granted today by the Inter- state Commerce Commission for permanent oonsolidation of the transportation business and prop- erties of the Adams; American, Wells Fargo & Co., and Southern Bexpress companies, into the American Rail- way Express Co. The commission said that it was their belief that the public would best be served by one consolidated jeompany serving all lines with equal > rates. the St. Louis Union Mrs. Ghio, 73 years oid, died Dec. 11 at the home of her son, J. C. Martin Ghio, Carson and St. Charles Rock roads, St. Louls County. Her death distributes her husband’s es- tate of $500,000 in equal shares among the four children, J. C. Mar- tin Ghio; the State Bank of Wellston; Mrs. Olivia Dunn of Chicago and Mrs. Betty McMenamy of Los Angeles. Ghio’s will provided that his wife was to have the estate until her death. Mrs. Ghio’s will provides ‘for be- quests of $500 each to the Rev. Mat- thew McMenamy for masses, to the Helpers of the Holy Soul, 4072 Washington avenue, for prayers, and to St. Anne’s Catholic Church of Nor- mandy. The sons are given $5 each, with the explanation that they were amply cared for in their father’s will. The balance of the estate, house- hold effects, jewelry and stocks val- ued at $75,000 or $80,000, with inter- est bringing their total value to $100,000, is left to the daughters in equa] shares. The stocks, however, were included in the estate of Ghio at his death. They were the-property of Mrs. Ghio, given WV her to him, and after his death she filed suit to separate them from the estate. The Circuit Court ruled the statute of limitations forbade this, but appeal was taken to the Supreme Court. If the court decides in favor of Mrs. Ghio in this case eath daughter will get half of the $100,000 in stocks. Ghio died Feb. 2, 1914. His will provided life tenancy of the $500,- 000 estate for the wife, and its divi- sion among the children after her death, with the provision that if any of the children contested they were to be cut off. Ghio, fn his will, said he ‘was a “true sonj of Kentucky, faithful to the ‘lost cause’ of the Confederate States of America.” In addition to money and estate, “Tran. quilla,’’ at Carson and St. Charles Rock roads, Ghio left a large library, a collection of 20;000 postage stamps and three European medals and pat- ents of nobility. EARTHOUAKE AT YAP ISLAND Violent Shocks Believed to Indicate Upheaval in Pacific Ocean. By the Associated Press. | TOKIO, Dec. 20.—A naval wire- less message from the Island of Yap in the South Pacific Ocean today an- nounces that the most violent earth- quake shocks occurred in the vicin- ity of the island, lasting several days. Tha earth shocks were followed Faturday by a storm which created extensive ‘damage. Scientists here regard the shock to have been the same as that reported in Tokio Dec. 17 and believed there has been a tremendous upheaval of the bed of the Pacific Ocean, ‘of the commission, ' ; ‘ ; ' ! } ' | ' ; The will of Mrs. H.

As is known, the Post-Dis- patch developed the fact that since} the Laclede contracted to pay $5 al ton for 600,000 tons mext year, the | spot price of the identical and sim-| ilar coals has declined to $4 and| $3.50, respectively. As stated by the | company, the city made no use of | this fact in presenting its case to the, commission. | The company reviews the predic- | price of coke would decline in 1921, thus decreasing its. revenue from | that source and compelling it to) make up the loss by increasing the | price of gas. It declares that the | average price of $10.54 a ton which | it estimates as the price to be ob- | tained in 1921 likely is too high a | price to expect. The city estimated | that the Laclede would $690,000 in the company’s revenue return. Dividends on Common Stock. To the criticism by the city that the company has not made enough coal gas, a cheaper process than the manufacture of water gas, the com- pany replies that it was the first gas company in the United States te in- stall by-product coke ovens and since has kept up its progressiveness. “There have been some loose sug- gestions,”’ the brief concludes, “that the company has paid out too much on its common stock” and declares that the average rate on common stock since 1889 has been 4% per cent.”’ The total of these dividends is a sum greater than $10,000,000. The company fails at this time, as in the’ past, to deny a frequent statement that the common stock referred to does not represent money paid into | the service of the public and is water.

The investigation by the firemen includes reports by expert account- ants and other details more or less intricate, which in McDaniel’s opin- ion should not be taken up now, only to have to be reopened after Howard Gidener takes over the office. The grand jury will adjourn this week until Jan. 3, which McDaniel regards as another reason for delay. The firemen decided to accept the advice of the office, as given to them. by ‘Baer, and the matter will go over ‘until after the holidays.

The pendentives are the. central work of the Capitol decoration. The contract for their execution by Bfangwyn was filed with the State | the most noted of the living artists—_| Auditor today by Arthur A. Kocian ¥; of St. Louis, secretary of the Capitoi Decoration Commission, of which Dr. John Picard of the University of Mis- | souri is chairman. “It is the opinion of the commis- sion,” Kocian said to a Post-Dis- patch reporter, “that the dome by Brangwyn will be the finest mura] painting in any public building in | America. It also will be the larg- | est.”’ To Portray Four Pertods. , The four pendentives each will be \22 feet high, 15 feet wide at their base and 48 at their top. They will portray the four periods into which the history of Missouri seems‘ natu- rally to fall—the early colonization period, the period of the Louisiana Purchase, the period from the pur- chase to 1860, and Imperial or Mod- ern Missouri, into which Brangwyn may be expected to work some of the industrial art genius for which he is noted.. The paintings will Be in of] on canvas, which will be fixed to the spaces for which they are de- signed. The eye of the dome will be ‘some conventional motif. Its diam- eter is 81 feet. “The commission feels that only a stroke of remarkable fortune en- abled it-to obtain Brangwyn for this work,” Kocian said. “I think artists and others familiar with his fame and genius will agree to that state- ment.”’ Kocilan exhibited some of the cor- respondence' that preceded the Welshman’s oommission for the work. In one of his early letters, replying to an inquiry about price for his service, Brangwyn said the allurement of the offer to him was the opportunity to do something for a public building, not the price which he might ask or receive. He explained that he would rather ex- pend his effort upon something that might be expected to fall under the eye of the general public of his own and succeeding generations rather than upon some work for a private or obscure museum where its view- ing would be restricted to a few. » To Get $21,980 for Work. When the question of price be- eame the remaining contract essen- tial undecided, Brangwyn said that he would undertake the work for £6280. This is approximately $21,- 980 (at present exchange rates) for work which the artist estimates will require him two years to complete. He reiterated that he was captivated by the opportunity to do something for a public building. He dispatched an assistant from London to Jeffer- son City. ~ That deputy, after view- ing the Capitol, said that it was the finest piece of modern architecture he had seen and that he would so report to the artist. Boon afterward word came from Brangwyn that he had dropped work on some murals for the Cana- dian Houses of Parliament and had begun to work out his Missouri com- Bearing on this stroke of fortune, as the commission views it, is the following excerpt caught at random from the volume, “Frank Brangwyn ‘and His Work,” by Walter Shaw- Sparrow. It refers to the fact that the Royal Exchange in London had _ @eclined a mural by be- cause Of a rule forbidding more than one piece of work by any one artist on its walls, and Brangwyn already UAE nted. The comment of the author was: “If the artist had vyotanteered to paint such a work for any public bullding on the con- tinent or age ees there wowld have been rejoicing.” ee Prolific a ‘ ‘Brangwyn is 63 years old an as been very prolific in hie art.

BALANCE OF TRADE FOR NOVEMBER Decline of $63,000,000 Due to Falling Off in Exports—Slight De- crease in Imports. By the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Asaneri- ca's balance of trade for November shrank $63,000;7000 as compared with the preceding month as a result of a decided falling off in exports, accord- ing to an analysis of the nation’s foreign trade for that month, issued by the Department of Commerce. Exports for November were valued’ at $675,000,000, a-falling off of more than $76,000,000 from the October total of $7617728,570. Imports, on the other hand, declined only a little more than $13,000,000, the Novem- ber total being estimated ‘at $621,- 000,000 as compared with $334,098,- 698 for October. The United.States, however, at the end of November, still had a favor- able balance in trade with the other nations of the world for thefirst 11 months of the year of $2,494,205,488. Exports up to Dec. 1 were $7,507,- $23,420 and imports for the same pe- riod were $5,013,117,932. 120 Princeton Scholarships. By the Associated Press, : PRINCETON, N.

BERLIN, Dec. 20.——President’ Mot- ta of Switzerland .praises President Wilson for his work in framing the peace treaty, in an interview with. the | correspondent of Stinnes’ Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung. “When Woodrow Wilson, historic deed ought not be mized, placed the league covenant at, the head of the treaty, he obviously wanted to say thereby ‘First the League of Nations, then the treaty,’ ”’ | the Swiss President said. “In doing go the American showed | geatr psychological insight, for if he | had waited to fqund the league und | after the treaty was finished the gen- | eral weariness and relaxation would have become so great that there would not have been any strength | left over for the work which lay'| nearest Mr. Wilson’s heart.” The correspondent had expressed | the stock German criticism that the) league was virtually a league of the | Mntente victors against Germany. | President Motta, addressing German | Nationalists through his reactionary | interviewer, said: | “Tf we want to act in the spirit of | the league’s founder, there cannot be any talk about the league becoming a ‘control organ for the Versailles treaty,’ as you express. In our opin- ion the covenant has a purely exter- nal connection with the treaty; no internal bond exists between the two. “And do not forget that the league is still young; one must have pa- tlence and give an historical work the necessary time to ripen. It fs my warmest wish that Germany may soon enter the league. “Switzerland entered on the postu- late of the league universality andl believe that it is in the interest not only of Germany and the league, but above all in the interest of world peace, if Germany would decide to apply for admission to the league at the proper time. “T hope the assembly at its next meeting in September will have occa- sion to occupy itself with Germany’s application. Pt was absolutely a good thing that Germany undertook noth- ing to make this first assembly face the problem of its admission. “My conviction is that Germany acted wisely and in the right, there- by not only guarding its own inter- ests, but working for the strength-‘ ening of world peace, for Germany's application to e assembly would undoubtedly have caused tensions which would have been better avoid- ed.”’ whose | mini- |, Asks Harding Not to Use Cigarettes.

TOPEKA, Kan., Dec. 20.—Miss Lucy Page Gaston of Chicago, su- perintendent of the International Anti-Cigarette League and now in Topeka working in the interest of the organization, announced last night that she had sent a letter to President-elect Harding asking him not to use cigarettes. —_ The commission says that ‘while ‘evidence is not availuble that future the de- does not is responsible for wheat prices, it appear that future trading in wheat as at present operating is of indis- trading _putable service to the grain trade.” / It suggests, however, that if regu-, latory action is to be employed, the question be considered by _Congtess and that legislation “not connected with war’ powers be enacted.” The commission. tells the Prési- dent that because of the failure of the Chicago Board of Trade to co- operate, it was unable to obtain nec- essary information as to whether there had been large transactions in wheat futures of a manipulative character. Foreign Nations’ Purchases. As to the concentrated pur¢chases of wheat in this country hy foreign Governments which have undertak- en to regulate at home flofr prices irrespective of the price of wheat, the commission declares that if these. purchases are to continue, ‘‘the de- |! sirability of the United States meet- ing them through a selling organiza-. tion should be carefully censidered.” The commission’s report is based upon an investigation of the wheat! situation which the President re-' quested it to make last October after | Gov. Henry J. Allen of Kansas and others had urged him to bar Canadi- an wheat. importations and take such action as necessary to stabilize the rapidly declining wheat market. Declaring the decline of wheat prices would appear to be in part. due to country-wide and world-wide conditions, the commission assigns seven specific causes: The outlook for an increased world supply; concentrated buying by for- eign Governments last spring and) slack purchases later; “unprecedent- ed’’ importations from Canada, fol- lowing “an unprecedented yield and a discount in rate of exchange;” the record-breaking yield of corn in this | country; the slackening of demand’ for flour; the general tendency to de- cline in many commodities and the! change in credit conditions “with re- sulting disposition of disfributors to | refrain from accumujeting wysual stocks.,”’ } Barring of Canadian Wheat’ Discusging the barring of Canadi- | an wheat, the commission says “it fs} questionable whether such a pro-| ceeding would have the effect its ad- | vocates expect, because the United | States and Canada both have sur-; pluses to export, and will meet each other in competition “either here or!

The committee made it plain that its opinion the Government’s ex- penses would remain high for some time and it explained that the re- vision it proposed was not aimed at reducing the amount of yield, but in changing the manner of levying important taxes. “Frank recognition of the situa- tion,” the committee said, “brings realization that the country must continue for several years to bear a heavy burden of taxation.” Members of the committee signing the taxation report include Efnest W.

Inasmuch as the election is mere formality and nomination means election, the method of nomi- nation becomes the important con- | sideration, : Shortly before the biennial spring abolish nomination election, the City Central Commit- | tees of the political parties call maas meetings on a certain evening in certain halls in each of the wards. At the Republican: mass meetings, the voters belonging to the ~— ‘Republican party, and at the Demo- | cratic mass meetings, the voters be- longing to the Democratic party, are . supposed to assemble and to organ- ‘ize by electing chairmen, secretaries and such committees as they desire, and then they proceed to select dele- _gates to the conventions of their re- spective parties. Theoretically, and in sparsely settled rural communi- ties, this system is unobjectionable, but practically, and especially in a city Ike St. Louis, it is a perfect system for the political bosses and a complete failure sq far as it is in- tended to be a means of expressian of the will of the people. | In the first place, there are not | sufficient halls large enough to hold |all the voters of e&ch party in all ‘the wards, or even a considerable .portion of them. In the second | place, these halls cost money, and »there “is no fund out of which to | bay rentals, except by voluntary contributions, too uncertain to war- |} rant underwriting.

A lad in knickerbockers ambled | upon the platform at yesterday aft- | ernoon’s ‘“‘pop” concert of the Sym- | phony Orchestra, at the Odeon, and! proceeded to play the piano with the | assurance, the understanding and! the speed of an adult. He was Sian-, | ley Homer Sicher, 14 years old, son | of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Sicher of | 4961 West Pine boulevard, a junior | High School, and the| youngest soloist who ever appeared | with the local orchestra. Coming from @ musical family, Master Sicher has studied the piano Since his sixth birthday, first with his mother and then with Victor Ehling. At an age when many boys scarcely know one note from an- other, he played with’ one of the big symphony orchestras of the country, and took his cues of entrance and |veteran. His number was the effec- tive “Polonaise Brilliante,” Op. 72, | by Weber, which was provided by | Liszt with orchestral accompant- | ment. | Without holding that young Sicher is another Josef Hofmann, it may be jasserted that there is little juvenile ‘about his playing, save that-he has ‘not as yet-the strength for a brilliant- | | ly ringing touch. It was noticeable, as |regards interpretation, that-he could ‘Play softly with as much zest as | loudly, and that his lyric passages (even had a certain grace and song- | fulness. ; | The more he played.the better he became. Far from being daunted by the capacity audience, he seemed the one person present who was 'Surest of his success. With profes- sional coyness, he accepted three or four recalls before yielding a care- fully prepared encore. It was the Schubert-Taussig ‘‘Marche Militaire.” Beginning at high speed, he worked up to almost dizzy velocity at the close, with octaves and then double- lightning. His sense of rhythm is full of verve and | “ovation, ; | snap. Is Fervently Applauded. The audience gave him a lusty and he could have played still other encores if he had wished or the rules permitted. One fancies that in five years we _ shall hear much of this gifted young S8t.

The clash between the Millers and Irishmen, which opened the twin dill, Pete Ratican'’s champions of last season, who have pulled a “come- back” since being eliminated from the U. S. F. A. cup race, were out for revenge for the —2 defeat handed them by Foley’s charges on Thanksgiving day. Marre Sco@s Only Goal. The only goal of the game came after 18 minutes of play during the first half, when, on a corner kick, Al McHenry lifted the ball in front of the uprights, and Hap Marre, the Millers’ leading goal scorer this year, sent it past Bartnett. The Innisfails hadenumerous chances, but failed to make good. An added attraction to the contest was ae fistic exhibition between Archdeacon, the Millers’ forward, and Snyder, one of Foley's half- backs. The only damage was that both were chased from the clash by Referee Phil Kavanaugh. Fouls figured prominently in the closing game. The Screw Co. tallied its lone goal on a penalty, while the Scullins’ failure to make good on a free kick lost them the game and clear tjtle to the lead, as has already been related. Penalty Kick Ties Score. The Scullins went into the lead shortly before the close of the open- ing half, when Cliff Brady dribbled the ball almost the length of the field past the Screw Co. backs and . then passed to Dike Brannigan, who “scored.

It has vast undeveloped re- sources, a great industrial or- ganization, a stable govern- ment, an ample gold reserve, In the face of an increase of 140% in commodity prices, the cost of money increased, on the average, less than 25%, and money has remained the ieapest element in business enterprise. By reason of their conservative handling of the situation, American banks as a whole are in splendid condition to serve the business commu- nity in taking advantage of the opportunities ahead. iw - tw Polo DD Ot - ~ * w bt St~25 Libb: Pe N, Li Mid Ww “Util. 3 e2 t20D Ore? dz OD ASOrw-hi FSW Co Oe Se. 23 aS de | ~~ * - -_ ‘ oo in sell- San Ce Sg| Sup Oil et) St WS M) Bears-Roeb’k.

Special Assistant Attorney-General Vayce Higgs is to be commended for his sound position with respect to the prosecution in the Federal courts of those Volstead act offenders only who are apprehended by Federal agents. He rejects the suggestion of State and Federal enforcement agents Anti-Saloon League representatives that the St courts in B8t.

Tossed into the turmoil of a bitter political cam- paign, the charges of Brigadier-General Barnett con- cerning the conduct of the Marine Corps in Haiti, without possibility of discovering their truth or falsity, at once created prejudice in the public mind against the administration and the Marine Corps. The people naturally felt that the’ charges, if true, were a reflection on the honor and humanity Of the United States. There was bitter criticism of the Government and the Marine. Corps. Fortunately, the naval court of inquiry, after a thorough investigation, finds that the charges are | not true. It exonerates the Marine Corps agd credits it with performing a “difficult, dangerous and deli- cate duty in Haiti in a manner which, instead of calling for adverse criticism, is entitled to the high- est commendation.” The honor of the Uniied States jin the matter of restering order in Haiti is vindi- cated. The evidence proved that there never was in Haiti “practically indiscriminate killing of natives,” as Gen. Barnett charged. There were individual and isolated cases of criminal conduct, in all of which the perpetrators were tried and punished. the Missouri and Federal enforcement statutes are 5 Brigandage has been suppressed in Haiti, order nearly identical.

The practice of trying defendants on the statement issued by the Chief of Po- lice was inaugurated many years ago for the purpose of (to use the term of lazy lawyers) saving time and was adopted when we had very few assistants in the City Counsellor’s office. Now, when two or three City Counsellors have been made to grow Where only one grew before, it is both inexcusable and unpardonable that the City Counsellor’s office should permit any defendant to go to trial on a faulty information. But assuming that the City Counsellor is remiss in the aforesaid duty, the Judge has still got his remedy. The charter and ordinances of the city of €t. Louis provide that the Judge of the Court may at any time on learning that an offense has been committed, issue a summons against the offender and have the case tried instanter. This being true,- there is no necessity for the Judge dis- missing a case or discharging the de- fendant because of a faulty statement sent to him by the Police Department. | MARTIN W. CASSIDY.

To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The crime wave—is it a crime wave or a reaction? Why should the police suffer for the leniency of the courts, or for the sins of politicians, professionai bondsmen and the advocates of paroles for criminals, who are set free to prey on the public in order to get lawyer's fees for previous or future crimes? I cannot understand how the Police Board ean reason that by working the police 12 hours a day wil] relieve conditions.

What can you expect of men who are compelled to work under these conditions? At 12 hours per day the police average about 85 cents per hour, while the probationary patrolmen average 28 cents; and they furnish their uniforms and equipment: The men of tne department have not been lax in their work, as proven in the past few months by the six officers who have Jost thelr lives. _ The only remedy is the abolition of the parole for highway robbery and sim- iar offenses, the co-operation of the courts and a much-needed increase. of men for the department.

The late Horatio W. Seymour, namesake and distant | relative of a Governor of New York and Democratic nominee for President in 1868, had made a strong im- | pression on the journalism of three great American, cities and had repeatedly rendered highly valuable} service of national quality and scope. Forty years ago he was one of g brilliant group of young Chicago newspaper workers whose words of wit and wisdom and professional feats were of wide currency and who won celebrity as types of the best figures in their field. The most conspicu- ous, though perhaps not the most useful, portion ef his career was during the period commemorating the discovery of America, when Chicago, by reason of its exposition, becanfe the resort of many of the best minds of this and other countries. He was then associated with the late James Scott in control of the Chicage Herald, a paper financed by Banker John R. Walsh, who had a fad for newspapers, having been engaged in distributing mewspaper circulation in early life. Mr. Seymour was then often referred to as embodying the enterprise and literary qualities of the most representative editors of the United States. After the death of Mr. Scott and the merger of the Herald with a rival morning paper, Mr. Sey- mour became the editor and director of the Chicago: Chronicle, another paper financed by Mr. Walsh. During twe intervals in his career, St. Louis news- paper workers had the advantage of contact with his standards and capacity. The first was after the ance of the Chronicle, when he was connected with’ the} Post-Dispatch, in 1907-08. The second was in 1911-12, when he camé from the New York World to the ed- itorship of the Republic, That paper, during the seven months of his control, without marked change in other features, gained many thousands in circula-.

TO UTOPIA BY THE SCHOOLS. Dr. Withers’ talk to the League of Women Voters was not that of a practical educator; it was the coun- selor of perfection speaking. Even so, we may look upon the picture he painted with sympathy, and, per- haps, some hope.

It is an ambitious conception, darfngly in advance even of these aspiring times. But in such a public | school system, so endowed and so functioning, we should have an institution capable of making democ- racy’s most cherished dream come true. The true meaning of democracy—equality before the law and equality of opportunity—is manifestly incompatible with our present material and moral inequality. The mandate, now theoretically accepted, that every child has the right to be well born, can never truly be translated into fact until every child is also well bred. This sounds Utopian. Anyhow, three genera- tions of such a school system as Mr. Withers de- scribes would work a transformation. In reply to the question, Where stands the great city? Whitman answered: ’ | Tt is not the place of stretched wharves, docks, manufactures, deposits of produce merely, but where there is the highest human development, the faithfulest friends, the healthiest fathers, the best-bodied’ mothers, where speculations on the soul are encouraged, and women are honored equally with men. Our visionaries are always with us, preaching the impossible, teaching what cannot be, devoutly believing that all humanity should be arrayed in purple and that democracy ultimately shall so dress us. Utopia may be a mirage, but if the royalty of mankind is to be established on earth it may well come about by way of the schools. = = wv SS, = It fs hoped, too, that the Republicans will have the gumption to locate the date for the last income- tax installment somewhere outside of the Christmas preliminaries. = S = — oe a A Lindenwood girl has gained 85 pounds in 90 If she'll keep up that pace during her college course she'll graduate a wonder. — | her oer “HONY-TONK.

ANTWINE’S OPINION. ad Bo that the meeting of the League a Nations at Geneva has adjourned, it looks as if our own peace meeting at Marion might be safely rested for the time being,” Mr. Antwine said. “If Marion and Geneva were in any sense competitive, the peril has. passed. The dele- gates in attendance upon the Geneva meeting from me forty other countries are on their way home. They are not at this time threat- ening the Marion idea, and probably, will not threaten it until the league meets again. It ought therefore to be possible for those leading minds to which Mr. Harding has turned for counsel and aid to spend the holidays quietly at home, restored to the bosoms of their re- spective families in no uneasiness from com- petition. “We have just had a spectacle which, I im- agine, has interested a good many people, At a time when most of the other nations were meeting at Geneva for the purpose of achiev- ing international concord, we saw our own country holding aloof in determination of what may be done to conduct a peace movement upon our own hook. It is the boast of all those who confer with Mr. Harding that the American directorate’ has indorsed renuncia- tion of what they are pleased to term Mr. Wil- son’s league. Nevertheless, Mr. Wilson's league, so-called, is steadfastly going about the very thing to which we all aspire. It is not dead. Upon the contrary, it is much more alive than Mr. Harding’s association. It has already be- come, the dominant factor in world politics, and it is pretty hard to see how we can do any- thing for peace except by joining it. Certainly it is not going to join our association,. There isn’t any such thing, nor are there left any con- siderable number of countries with which it can be made, ' f ’ “I feel very strongly that what many of us foresaw would hapen has happened. That is, being unwiJling to let Mr. Wilson take us into such a movement, we find ourselves placed be- fore the world in the ignoble role of obstruction to the first general move in history to abate war. We did not want to be so ignobly cast, and I dare say we aré not enjoying the part. I do not know what can be claimed for the League of Nations. Probably less than Presl- dgnt Hymans claimed for it at adjournment of the Geneva meeting. Upon the other hand, I doubt if any of us feel like claiming anything for our as yet unorganized association. If a man from Mars could come here and look first at Geneva and then at Marion, I am afraid he would be disposed to think that we have made something of a monkey of ourselves, ‘That seemed to be the impression of the rest of the world assembled at Geneva, We were the meticulous country. We proved ourselves even more ranta.kerous than Argentina, whose delegation withdrew and went home because it could not have ite way. We stayed home be- cause we could not have our way. The people who did go an’ who stayed did not take us too seriously. They knew we were better than that. They kniliiv we had not intended to take such, a position, It all happened as the. conse- quence of an unfortunate political quarrel. They understood that at Geneva, and they went ahead upon the assumption that when we re- gain our right minds we will come in and help. That was the sensible view to take of it. It is what we feel ourselves. Meanwhile, I can’t see why the mock conference at Marion should go on. I can't see why the people who con- tributed most to our national embarrassment should be honored by reiteration of what it is they think. They don’t think anything. They Qnly feel a great deal, and it is not by expres- sion of passion that we are ever to have peace. “This is the way it looks to me sitting down here in the Ozarks in contemplation of a spec- tacle which has not, I think, been equaled since Achilles sulked in his tent. You will re- call that after Achilles had sulked for a time in the slege of Troy, the Greeks persuaded him to let someone wear his armour, an incident which ultimately resulted in the fall of Troy. Someone will in time persuade us to let him wear our armour to a meeting of the League of Nations, and the consequence will be the end of that old red anarch, War. You can find the whole story in the Iliad. Read it sometime. There is nothing in human nature that Homer did not foresee. He foresaw us. He foresaw Geneva. He foresaw Marion. That is why he is the greatest poet who ever lived. When Homer smote his blooming lyre, He saw us, howso’er perverse, And what occasion may require You'll find in Mr. Homer’s verse. He saw whatever was to be As that great mind revolved about, And sitting there beside the sea He showed us how it all turns out. “T make that versé to Marion and Geneva, It has happened before,” Mr. Antwine said. . 2 > Congress cannot think of anything better to rehabilitate prices for farm products than the tariff.

HARDING AS A CONCILIATOR, SAMUEL COLCORD in the Outlook. HAT faculty of conciliation, if his friends are correct in their estimate, is to be one of War- ren G. Harding's great assets in the difficult years before him as President. If anything was needed to convince me of the correctness of this esti- mate, I got it yesterday in my one intimate inter- view with the President-elect, closeted with him in his office in the Marion “Administration House,” when he-said: “Few have realized the great importance and the difficulties of the task that confronted me in the campaign. I found two great opposing eléments in the party, and it was my supreme task to bring them together. It was vitally necessary to do that if as President I am to render any great service to the cause of peace, to which I am deeply devoted.” And then he said it all in one great and confirming gesture, when, with strong and ample arms ex- tended to right and left, and then their open palms brought near but not quite together in one forceful sweep in which I seemed to see the Republican irreconcilable and the Republican friends of the League of Nations lifted and put down together in a common group for a great united. effort behind the incoming administra- tion, he added: “That was my task. I had to reach out to both of those groups and unite them in a common purpose—and I have done it.” BRYAN ON THE “PROTOCOLS.” From the Commoner. . HE libel that is being circulated against the Jews, based on the so-called protocols, is ab- surd, as well as cruel. It is astonishing that any- one would build upon an anonymous publication an indictment against one of the greatest races in history. I have read the protocols carefully and believe that they were either manufactured by an enemy of the Jewish people or written by an insane fan- atic, more probably the former. If, as seems less likely, they represent the imaginings of an unbalanced brain, it is grossly unfair to charge them up against the Jews in general. The dia- bolical character of the plot is enough to«stamp it as either fraudulent or foolish. No such con- spiracy could be planned by any considerable number, not to speak of the impossibility of car- rying it out. It would require the joint effort of all the leaders of the race to make it a real conspiracy, and what representative Jew ifn the whole world would .be suspected of contemplat- ing such a crime? I have the pleasure of knowing quite, intimate- ly many pronsgnent Jews, among them (only to mention a few) Justice Brandeis of the Supreme Court; the greatest lawyer. Samuel Untermyer; the eminent jurfSt, Judge Mack; Nathan Straué, the world-famed philanthropist, and his brother Oscar, equally distinguished as a diplomat and peace advocate: Rabbi Wise, fearless preacher of righteousness; Julius Rosenwald, business man and humanitarian; Ambassador Morgenthau, who recently represented the United States at Con- stantinople; the two Kahnas, Otto and Julius; Ber- nard Baruch, Sigmund Zeisler, A. J. Elias, ete, Would any Jewish plan amount to much in this country without the support of t repre- sentatives of the race? And what Ch would tbe more prompt than they to expose and de- nounce such @ conspiracy if it ever came to their notice? ‘ The libel, while irritating, cannot do any per- manent harm; it will soon be fo WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.

It started with a whole string of “rahs,” then Shrapnel puts in a coyote yell “OW-00-00U-000uU-000000,”" that he was fine at imitating, and I adds a Apache war whoop that I. heard out at Fort Bayard once.

They talks about three min- utes, and Slough ain’t doing anything but try- ing to escape. He breaks loose at last, and says to me: “Get it away from here before I kill it. What you been doing—unloading another Ruelbach on me?” “But he’s got control,” I says. “Don’t pay any attention to his little college manners.” “College manners, hell!” says Slough. “That guy must have roomed with all the squirrels on the tree of knowledge.

Fither that, or the housekeeping would get» down to bare essentials. If a man kept such a housé, dusting | and cleaning would be rare events, meals would become as crude as the needs of life would allow, ironing nd linen would be wiped off as non- ssential and the children would run around like so many little animals, In other words, an integral part of what we call civilization in the home would disappear.” In that one paragraph from’ Dr. Abraham Myerson’s new book, “The Nervous Housewife,” is indicated the reason for her existence—and the reason why men should check the irritation or contempt usually ex- pressed in their judgments of the woman who “ig at home all day with nothing to do” and yet becomes nothing but a bunch of tired nerves. No man could or would work as the average serevantless Housewife works—with inefficient tools, inces- sant interruptions, no definite hours of labor, infinite demands on pa- tience, physical strength, ingenuit7 and versatility. Dr. Myerson says, with perfect truth: “The woman who does all her own housework, including the cooking, scrubbing, washing, ironing and the multitudinous details of housekeep- ing, in addition to the bearing and rearing of children, does more than any human being should do. It is very well to say, ‘See what the wom- ¥ Pk : Bo ‘ ’ : a & ~ : as < a J Ey e te We Pa FR +s : os ‘ en of a past generation did,’ but could we look at the thing objec- tively, we would see that they were little better than slavese That is the jong and short of it—the Emancipa- tion Proclamation did not include them.” So much for the of the nervous housewife. does he prescribe? The housewife, he thinks, may often give herself a sedative of less work, less fussing, better clothes, more fun.

Though she had a maid, this did not relieve her much, for she constantly fretted and fumed over the maid’s slackness. Ev- erything had to be spotless all the time; she could not bear the disor- dered moments of bedtime, of mea! preparation, of the children’s room.

How well the Gulbransen fits that thought! Its music is for the many—for all the family and all the friends of the playing it—and that is a very great pleasure, indeed. First, the Gulbransen is easy to pedal. takes so little effort that even a child, or an elderly person, or an tiring. But, second, the Gulbran- sen is easy to play well. A little practice, with the aid of the won- derful Martin Method of instruc- tfon now supplied with each Gul- bransen, will enable you to play musical expression, like a trained pianist. The great variety of expression an owner of a Gulbransen may put into his playing makes the music seem ever-new. Father will play “Sweet Adeline” the way he likes to hear it. Brother Ben will play it with a little more “pep” and snap. Sister Sue will play it ‘her way—softly, and with senti- ment and feeling. The Gulbran- sen is not a mere méchanical thing, but responds to the ideas of the person playing! So we say, it shares its pleasures whole circle of family and friends expresses t mas spirit in a fine, wholesome The Gulbransen factory has i¢- sued a book called “Good Times with Your Gulbransen,” which lists the forms of musical enter- tainment available to Gulbran- sen owners.
