Why Not Come to Georgia? government surveys,” says I Floyd Parsons, writing in a re- - cent number of the Saturday Eve- Hing Post on “Everybody’s Business,” "shows that more than four million cattle and sheep on American ranges died of ■tarvation and disease last winter. This means a loss in meat of more than one billion and a half pounds, or enough tb provide nearly fourteen pounds for every man, woman and child in the nation.” Mr. Parsons’ remedy for such appalling losses in America’s food supply is federal f action looking to effective plans to conserve the supply of food animals. There is an other solution which should appeal to the practical cattle man. It is, “Come to Geor gia!” While hundreds of cattle and sheep are ! freezing to death in such states as North Dakota and Montana, famous for their cat tle, Georgia has never had a single head ? meet such a fate. While disease stalks i v through herds in the middle west and the far west, Georgia claims the record of J- having only three counties in the entire state with any trace of the cattle tick, and ’ these three rapidly eliminating the last ves tige of it. The government’s confidence that in Georgia is one of the great potential cat tle fields of the country, is proved by the fact that it has established no less than seventy-one cattle experiment stations in , the state. They are daily adding new evi dence to the fact that in Georgia cattle * mon will find the ideal state for grazing and the production of blooded cattle of the best. This is the fair season in Georgia. We venture the assertion that nowhere in the country will be found cattle of more con sistently fine quality than at the South eastern Fair and the numbers of others now being held throughout the sthte. . q Such inducements as these, if brought to the attention of northern and western cattle men, are certain to convince them i. that their greatest opportunities and their greatest prosperity lie in Georgia. “Edjicatin the Young Uns r~T~ HERE are more heroes in life’s lowly ways than the pens of history have 5. ■* written down, more prophets and seers than temples have enshrined Back amongst the hills of Kentucky dwelt an old unlettered man. His garments were home ? spun, and quaintly primitive his speech. But kindliness kept house in his heart, and in his soul grew a fruitful ideal. He wanted to help “edjicate the young uns.” One night he i- eat by the hearth where logs from his own r farm’s woodland were glowing, and wrote a i letter giving all his acres for the establish ; ment of a school. The bequest ran in this / wise: “Some places hereabouts are so Lost from V Knowledge that the young uns have never * been taught reading and writing and don t know the country they were Borned in or ■what State or County they were Borned. u W® need a whole lot of teaching, how to work on the farm and how to make farms pay, also, teaching them how to take care of there timber and stuff th’ere wasting. We •- want to teach them books and agriculture ’ and machinery and all kinds of Labor and learn them to live up as good American citi sens.” . ► Manifold are the needs which only mind furrowlng, spirit-quickening education can answer. But the need behind all others is to * find men and women with something of this i humble mountaineer’s divine vision, when enough Americans, enough Southerners, h enough Georgians, grow so concerned over "edjicatin’ the young uns” as to give their possessions for the endowment of schools and colleges and universities, then will our ®ad knots of politics and business be fai ; along the way to happy untangling. Where the backwoods philanthropist once i toiled and pondered, fourteen log school ; houses lift their music of young voices to the t skies. The old man is gone, but how im- mortally does his dream abide, like words from one who “being dead, yet speaketh.’’ A nobleman he, with thoughts too high to care ’ for fame, too sterling for coinage into per ishable riches. The will was his of which enduring States are fashioned, and his the way by which mankind ascends. From Acorn to Oak r-T-iHE total population of the continental United States, according to the latest f census, is 105,683,108. How significant these figures are is better appreciated when we recall that just foul L. years after the Declaration of Independence the republic comprised but 3,929,214 inhabi tants. The center of population was then a 7 little east of Baltimore, and the entire na- ♦ >nal area only some eight hundred and ninety thousand square miles. Today the center lies not far this side of the Missis sippi, while the area has .grown to consid erably more than three million square miles. It is comparatively a brief span, as his tory is reckoned, since the first Independ ence dawn. But within those few genera tions, what marvels have been wrought! A scattered band of colonists has multiplied to imperial numbers and sent its flag fluttering f across a continent’s sweep; a vast wilder ness has been conquered and brought to bloom; from the frontiersman’s footprints, a world-power has eprung shining; from the pioneer’s faith and courage a world-ideal has come to pas®. THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. TheEditor’sDesk Every once in a while in the course of our work of making The Tri-Weekly Jour nal the greatest newspaper in its field in the country, things come up that hold especial and particular interest for our readers. For this reason, the editor often feels that a personal to our friends about what’s going on ought to be forthcoming. From now on, therefore, a few inches of space on this page will be set aside for that purpose whenever the occasion seems to call for it. After a while The Tri-Weekly Journal hopes this will help everybody get better acquainted. On the one hand, it may aid us in finding out what you like best in the way of news and features, what de partments of the paper appeal to you most, what other features you would like to see in the paper. On tne other hand, it gives us a chance to tell you in advance of good things that are coming, of commenting on topics as they pass, of letting you know odds and ends of facts in general that are part of the making of the paper. Here’s hoping this space will turn out to be a real link between The Tri-Weekly Journal and its readers! About Aunt Julia’s Journey In answer to a sheaf of inquiries, be it known that Aunt Julia’s famous Letter Box will keep on overflowing with its mes sages from southern ®loys and girls while her “journey” is being published on an other page. The Letter Box won’t be closed for even one day. The appearance of “The Journey” simply means that there’ll be a double portion of enjoyment for Aunt Julia’s admirers for a while. The Housewife’s Job Labor and time-saving devices are great things. But how frequently are all the improve ments in this line to work outdoors on the farm when some of them —or others just as feasible —could easily be used for lightening the never-ending task of the woman of the house? In an early issue, The Tri-Weekly Jour nal will publish a remarkable article deal ing with this subject. It shows some startling facts and figures uncovered by a government investigation. Every mem ber of the household will find something of value in this feature. How to Solve, and How Not to Solve, the Cotton Problem OPINIONS may differ as to how the present cotton problem can best be solved, but thinking people are agreed that there is one way by which it can NOT be solved. It cannot be solved by terrorism and intimidation. A farmer might as sensibly pluck out his right eye to vent hia displeasure against the boll weevil as to set fire to ginhouses in hopes of bet tering market conditions. The law of com mon sense alone should suffice to restrain such silliness. The incendiary burning of ginhouses or any other property is a crime punishable by long imprisonment or by death. Suppose it were a mere misdemeanor and the culprits escaped serious punish ment. Still they would be enemies to their own and the community’s best interests, for such rash conduct could serve only to inten sify and prolong a crisis which nothing but thoughtful co-operation can bring to a happy issue. How true this is appears as plain as noon day, the moment one pauses to consider just what the present problem is. It is not that the supply of cotton is in excess of the world’s needs; on the contrary, there is a real, though not now articulate, demand for every pound of cotton which has been baled or which is yet to be ginned—and for a vast deal more. The problem is not that the price which the growers consider a fair minimum—say forty cents a pound, basis mid dling—is excessive; for if producers do not deserve and cannot procure as much as the cost of production, then will the entire eco nomic order crumble to chaos. The prob lem is simply that the market demand for cotton has temporarily declined and that the growers, together with the great range of business interests pertaining to them, are in need of financial assistance pending the return of normal conditions. By normal conditions we mean fair and efficient functioning of supply and demand. We mean the opening of now obstructed channels between producer and consumer, so that the millions of bales requisite for America’s unfilled wants and the millions which continental Europe will eagerly buy as soon as credit facilities are provided, may begin moving. At the recent Atlanta conference of business and banking leaders it was pointed out that Belgium and Czecho-Slovakia stood waiting to contract tot one hundred thousand bales each, so soon as such exports could be financed, and that Germany likewise wishes two million bales for Immediate manufacture. These dre notable Instances inasmuch as they reveal something of the world-wide need and ac tual, though not now active, demand for that very staple which for the time being has but a beggarly market at home. The intrinsic value of cotton is not a penny less than it was six months ago; and it the crop were sold gradually instead of being crowded into the autumn market, and if its prices were governed by the wants of industry rather than the flings of speculation, its growers would never have reason to complain. If, then, the problem of present market conditions and future marketing methods can be effectively dealt with, anxiety will give way to reassurance and all the wheels of prosperity go smoothly again. It is by co-operation for grappling this immediate and central problem that the situation is to be bettered —not by trouble-breeding threats and vain lawlessness. The grower should co operate by ginning and warehousing enough cotton to secure loans for his pressing needs and obligations. The banker and merchant should co-operate by rendering him every possible service, never forgetting that his labor and his rights are fundamental to the common weal. Credits are asked in this con nection for needs which are legitimate and imperative and interwoven with vital public interests—not for purposes of mere adven ture and speculation, as some authorities, who ought to know better, seem to infer. Let those needs be supplied; let the immedi ate crisis be tided over by conservative loans on warehoused cotton; let an exports corpo ration be organized for financing foreign sales; let the bulk of the crop be held, as far as considerations of interest and honor allow, until prices at least equal production costs—and the road that now looks dark and steep will shine with assurance. The South is not poor; she holds the treas ure of an empire in her hands. Her pros perity is not to be shaken like a reed in the wind, nor her heart dismayed by a passing depression. Co-working and confidence will bring her people safely through the trials of this hour. They have too much stamina to grow discouraged and too much Intelligence to trust crude violence instead of reasonable and loyal effort. THE NEXT WAR By H. Addington Bruce ALREADY discussion is rife regarding the next world war. High authori ties in various fields are giving their views as to the methods by which it will be fought. And these views are appalling. One well-known army officers predicts a horrible extension of gas warfare, involving the destruction not merely of whole armies, but of noncombatant populations. An emi nent physician insists that victory will rest with the nation best able to spread deadly bacteria in an enemy country. To the same effect another army man, Major-General Swinton, one of the inventors of the tank, is quoted as declaring: “The final form of human warfare, as I regard it, is germ warfare. I think it will come to that, and so far as I can see there is no reason why it should not, if we mean to fight.” And if it does come to that, one need be no prophet to predict, the final form of human warfare means the ultimate blotting out of civilization —nay, a universal suicide of the human race. The war recently ended has made it abundantly clear that even the winners in a modern war are bound to be heavy losers. With millions of workers struck dead, trans portation disorganized, productive efficiency impaired in countless ways, a world-wide shortage of commodities is today a painfully evident fact. Picture what the shortage will be when the direct death toll of war, through the extension of gas and germ warfare, includes multitudes of workers outside the armies as well as those workers who have been snatched from their labors to bear arms. And picture the continuing ravages of germ-caused disease even after peace has been proclaimed. It is an easy enough matter to set an epidemic in motion. Once it is under way, as the warfare of tomor row threatens to put it under way, the checking of an epidemic is a herculean task. Nor need any one be simple enough to suppose that the disease germs let loose in an enemy country will remain in that country. They are sure to roam far and wide —even back to the country whose mili tary notables let them loose. Plague and starvation will then work together to destroy all peoples—if all peo ples do not forestall them by uniting so effectually in mutual good-will that all dan ger of another world war will become as a nightmare that is past. Some say such union cannot be won. Some say that the development of interna tional solidarity is a Utopian ideal. But do the skeptics wish to see the world converted into a planet tenanted only by disease germs? , Even if they must remain skeptical, is it not the part of wisdom for them to co operate with the Utopians in a sincere ef fort to make the ideal of world peace real? For the end is either world peace or world destruction. The development of dia bolical war-waging devices has left us no other alternative. And the world cannot too soon awaken to this truth. (Copyright, 1920, by the Associated News papers.) FORMS OF VIOLENCE By Dr. Frank Crane z Violence has many forms. It is the arch deceiver. It has more disguises than a German spy. It is as cunning, persuasive, seductive and cursed as its father, the Devil. It has woven itself into our language, our thoughts. It dyes our emotions, affects our instincts and seeps into our sub-conscious- DOSS. We begin, teaching it to our children. To get obedience we flog them. Whoever strikes a child proves just one thing—that he is a bigger brute than the child. The child, learning the efficiency of brute force from his parent, goes out to practice it. He becomes the bully of the school yard. Most “bad” boys are simply boys who are faithfully putting into practice the principle of superior force they learned at home. The teacher continues the boy’s course in the art of frightfulness, if not by the birch, then by moral terrorism. When he grows up every motion of his adult mind is spoiled by the poison of the force idea. Violence is the greatest hindrance to re form, to progress. The ideal of anarchy, for instance, is singularly pure and peace able. Its aim is the abolition of force. But the twisted mind of the fanatic seeks to es tablish this by the very means he condemns. Nothing has set back the cause of Social ism so much as the reign of military terror ism in Russia. As violence destroyed the Czar, so will it destroy the Bolsheviki. Violence is the twin brother of Autocracy. That is why Autocracy is doomed. They that take the sword shall perish by the sword. Violence believed in, glorified, led Napo leon to exile and lost Britain her American colonies. Violence led the flower of Germany to slaughter, and has reduced the rest to bank ruptcy. No greater lie was ever coined than the saying that “God is on the side of the strongest battalions.’’ Whatever greatness the British Empire has is due to her fair play and her skill in the art of government. All Its woes come from its resort to violence. War is the perfect flower of the doctrine of force. Princes sometimes profit by wars, the people never. Victorious France and Italy are now in al most as bad away as defeated Germany and Austria. • The people of the United States are still groping in the darkness in a belief in vio lence. They still cannot see that a million spent in perfecting a world-machinery of peace and law is beter “preparedness” than a billion spent in getting ready to fight. No permanent progress has ever been due to fighting; it has all come through co-oper ation. The maniac who exploded the bomb in Wall Street is but a symptom of a world wide delusion. He is one of a class, including the striker who murders or burns, the Kaiser, the Czar the Bolshevik, the “direct action” advocate’ and all the other fools who take a notion to play God. (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) QUIPS AND QUIDDITIES “Where will you reside?” asked the report er of the young bridal couple. “At the Old Manse,” replied the bride. And this is the way the item appeared in the local paper a month later: “Mr. Hardup and his bride, formerly Miss Millions, have returned from their honey moon. They will live at the old man’s.” The curious effect sometimes produced in telegrams by want of punctuation or the omission of a single small word cannot fail to have struck every one. A London lawyer had a woman relative in Scotland from whom he had expectations. She had ben ailing for some weeks, when one morning came a-telegram asking the lawyer’s wife to go at once as she—his aunt—was much worse. His wife accordingly went. During the evening of the following day the husband received this announcement: 'Aunt Matilda went to heaven at 3:30 re turning by 11:50 tomorrow morning.” PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS By FREDERIC J. HASKIN IX. THE BUCHANAN-FRE MONT-FILLMORE RACE OF 1856 WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept 26. With ‘‘bleeding Kansas” as the issue, the Republican party made its first appear ance in the arena of national politics in 1856. with Colonel John C. Fre mont as its candidate. If Franklin Pierce and his follow ers had been content to rest upon the Compromise of 1850 as the final settlement of the slavery question in politics, the inevitable clash of the Civil War might have been post poned for a long time. But the Democrats had won such a great victory, and the opposition was so utterly demoralized, that the Pierce administration imagined it could do anything with umpunity. Indulg ing in that mistaken belief, Pierce brought about the repeal of the Mis souri compromise. Then, with the doctrine that slavery must be per mitted in territories, the believers in the “peculiar institution” sought to extend it to the territories of Kan sas and Nebraska. Both of these territories were north of the “thir ty-six thirty” line of the Missouri compromise and its repeal opened up the whole question. The Republican party was born big. It stirred up one of the hottest campaigns the country has ever known before It was actually in ex istence as a national body. It owed much of its power in its first cam paign to Horace Greeley and the New York Tribune. The Tribune was the Republican Bible. It thun dered against abuses which were ex citing the whole country, yet it could coo as softly as the dove if political experience demanded. It even went so far as to bid for southern sup port for Fremont and talked of avoiding the "danger of a solid south” pleading the while for the es tablishment of a "solid north.” No campaign up to that time had had so many issues. Os course slav ery was the only real issue, but as yet not one person of any promi nence in actual politics had dared to oppose slavery in 'the states where ft existed. It was only against the extension of slavery that the Free Soilers. the liberal Whigs, the anti- Nebraska Democrats and the Repub licans were fighting. But the southerners realized that Republican success would mean an ultimate at tack upon the states’ rights of which they were such ardent defenders. The Republican party held its first convention at Pittsburg on Washington’s birthday and formed an organization. It called a nomi nating convention to meet at Phila delphia on Bunker’s Hill day. That convention met and nominated John C. Fremont for president and Wil liam L. Dayton for vice president. The Democrats held their conven tion in Cincinnati, the first national convention ever held west of the Al leghanies. The race for the nomina tion was spirited, the candidates being James Buchanan, who was chosen on the seventeenth ballot, Franklin Pierce, Stephen A. Douglas and Lewis Case. John C. Breckin ridge, of Kentucky, was nominated for vice president. The Whig party was broken up, but its remnants went Into the Nativist movement and worked with the new "American" or “Know-noth ing ’ party. The Know-Nothings nominated Millard Fillmore for president and Andrew Jackson Don elson, of Tennessee, for vice presi dent. The Whigs went through the form of holding a national conven tion and endorsed the Fillmore tick et. Thus ended the tale of the Whigs, created into a political organization by anti-Masonry, expiring as an ad junct of anti-Catholicism. “Free States, Free Kansas. Free Speech. Free Mon and Fremont!” That was the Republican battle-cry. ‘Buck and Breck” was as much as the Democratic campaign poets could find for their slogan. But it was not a campaign of laudation. The Republicans denounced and de fied and dajnned the doings of the Democrats. The Democrats, in turn occupied conservative ground and defended their actions under the constitution. The Fillmore ticket was a refuge for those who didn’t want to take sides in a most un pleasant argument. After the Lawrence, Kan., massa- Greele y declared that President Pierce, the captain of the Border Ruffians, will go to Cincin nati to seek a renonrination stained from head to foot with the heart’s blood of the free-state men of Kan sas. ’ When Preston Brooks, a South Carolina member of congress, assault ed Senator Charles Sumner, of Mas sachusetts, in the senate chamber, the whole north was set on fire. Greeley called it a “deed of blood committed in the chamber of assas sins.” Indignation meetings were held everywhere. In Boston there was a great meeting at Tremont temple and another in Faneuil hall. Wendell Phillips, Lyman Beecher, Theodore Parker, the venerable Josiah Quincy and others of that generation were there to fan the flames of popular indignation. At the same time, in the south, the wiser heads could not prevent the young men from applaud ing Brooks’ action in resenting the insults which Sumner had heaped upon the head of the aged Senator Butler, Brooks’ kinsman. Good Republicans never called a regular Democrat anything less in sulting than "Border Ruffian.” Buch anan had been the first to sign the famous Ostend manifesto, which looked to the annexation of Cuba. The Pierce administration and Buch anan had looked with favor upon the Nicaragua filibustering expedi tion of William Walker, “the gray eyed man of destiny,” and the Re publicans believed that it was the beginning of a campaign of conquest of which Cuba was to be the chief prize. Therefore, it was not at all Surprising that the Democrats and supporters of Buchanan should have found themselves dubbed "buch aneers.” One of the greatest political meet ings or “rallies’ ever held in this country was the “Fremont and Free dom Festival,” at Dayton, 0., on July 30, 1856. There were more than 100,000 people there, from all over Ohio and from adjoining states. The rallying cry that day was; "There Is a North!” One of the chief features was a burlesque Democratic parade participated in by a company of young men from Indiana. This pa rade was headed by no less a per sonage than, his santanic majesty, who was being attended by a com pany of menials who were easily recognized as President Pierce and his cabinet. Then there were floats representing “Budh and Breck,” the Walker filibusters, Border Ruffians beating women to death, southerners applying tar-and-feather coats to Free-state men, a Simon Degree beating an Uncle Tom, a Brooks breaking his cane over Sumner’s head, Brigham Young and his wives (Mormonism was then a Democratic asset), and all winding up with a representation of the "gigantic” Douglas attacking the Missouri com promise. That day it was declared these were onlv two parties in Ohio —‘The Peoples’* and the Postmas ters’. " Rousing the sentiment of the Free states to thus support the Repub lican ticket was good enough for the young, but the leaders realized that the old conservative Democrats must be appealed to, and that the old-line Whigs must be kept from voting for Fillmore. To win the old-time Democrats, Greeley and his cohorts opened fire on Buchanan’s record. Thev proved that he had been a federalist, had been twice elected to congress after Jackson’s day as a Federalist, that he h'ad been a slavery restrictionlst in 1820, and that he had been So devoted to the “thirty-six thirty” line of the Mis souri compromise that he tried to extend it all the way to the Pacific in 1850. To the wavering Whigs old Gree ley talked straight as man to man arid brother to brother. He declared that the Fillmore ticket was being financed and run by Democrats to divide the northern vote, that its only possible effect would be to de feat Fremont and elect Buchanan and that Fillmore’s hope of having the election "thrown into the house” was a delusion and a snare. He at tacked "Know-nothlnglsm” with such bitterness that he not only weakened its strength among the old Whigs, but he attracted many German-Amer icans of the northwest to the new Republican standard. UcESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1920. Around the World Tri-Weekly News Flashes From All Over the Earth Representative Julius Kahn. of California, who had his apartment in Washington sold from under him a few days ago, is now of a notion that congress should meet elsewhere than in Washington until there is a drop in high prices of real estate. Mr Kahn, when congress reassem bles in December, will offer a res olution proposing that congress ad journ to meet in Baltimore, Phila delphia or some other city to es cape payment of heavy rentals in the District of Columbia. Many oth er members Z7 congress sympathize with Mr. Kann. “The rent a’tuation here has sim ply reached a. point where we can not stand it.” Mr. Kahn said. “We should remain away until the prof iteering ceases. Congress has moved before in an emergency. We can pay just so much rent and no more.” Miguel de Palacios, a widely known author, is dead in Spain. He was born in Manila sixty years ago and during his career published more than 200 works. The average man, if told the shoes he was buying were of part paper, no matter what the price, would probably seek another shoe dealer, says the October Popular Mechanics magazine in an illustrated article. And yet, on the authority of shoemakers more than half of the shoes sold today contain a per centage of paper. But like many other products, even “paper shoes” have improved, and the honest man ufacturer of paper shoes has a real excuse for substituting paper for leather wherever he can. But undoubtedly some manufac turers have taken advantage of the general use of paper in shoes to cheapen the product and swell prof* its* Two simple tests will help in de termining whether a shoe is all leather or not. One is to press the point of a penknife on the upper layers or’ the heel. If they are ot paper the blade will readily sink in. The other consists in pressing the counter or toe; if of pa per, it will not recover its shape, but if leather it will spring back again. Petroleum production in the Uni ted States has been on the increase during the summer months, accord ing to statistics made public by the United States geological survey. In August production was 39,144,000 barrels, against 35,548,000 in July, and 37,295,000 in June. For the eight months of the year, including August, the total was 246,111,000. Domestic stocks in storage also in cieased during the summer and stood at 128,999,000 barrels August 31, against 126.768,000 June 30. Tenders for supplying 2,777,870 gallons of lubricating oils' for the use of government owned and con trolled merchant* ships for the year beginning November 24, were ir.vltea | tonight by the shipping board. De liveries are to be made at Atlantic and gulf ports. The Italian government has re fused permission to former King Constantine, of Greece, to enter Italy, according to information reaching the French foreign office. Constan tine some weeks ago expressed a desire to visit Italy. Capital from the United States Is being invested in Canada at the rate of $200,000,000 annually, gov ernment officials announced. The money is not going into in dustry alone, but is being invested in Dominion, provincial and muni cipal bonds. The rate of exchange favors influx of American capital. Os $275,000,000 Invested in the Canadian pul.j and paper industry, about 80 per cenf was American, and more than a half billion dol lars’ worth of Canadian loans, ex clusive of war securities, were held in the United States. The discovery of a violent case of typhus among the steerage pas sengers of the Holland-American liner Noordam has resulted in the detention of that liner at quarantine in New York indefinitely. The Noor ,dam has been in quarantine since Tuesday night. All of the steerage passengers were sent to Hoffman and Swinburne islands, where they will be detained for twelve days. The typhus case was that of a woman steerage passenger. Dr. L. E. Cofer, the health officer who ex amined the steerage passengers, pronounced the case violent. The first and second class passengers were only allowed to leave the ship after a rigid examination by health officers. The vessel will be thor oughly fumigated before she pro ceeds to her pier. As a climax to investigations made by a large force of dry field deputies on the staff of H. C. Mager, new collector of internal revenue, all the breweries of Chicago, more than twenty in number, will -be shut down by the government. It has been found, these investigations are declared to prove, that all have been making and delivering the good old-fshioned brew, which knows no Eighteenth amendment, for more than three months. Twenty-five members of the so called Vengeance Gang, which is al leged to be an anti-Brltish society organized to conduct assassinations of political personages, in Cairo, Egypt, have been convicted of con spiracy by a court before which they, had been on trial for several weeks. The sentences will be promulgated later. Four of the accused persons were acquitted. Half a million dollars for the re lief of famine sufferers in the Pe king, China, district has been appro priated by the American Red Cross. Three men were rescued in an ex hausted condition at Atlantic City, N. J., last week, after spending the night lashed to the masts of the yacht Akista, bound from New York to Florida. The craft encountered a gale off the New Jersey coast and both her sails were blown away. There was an auxiliary engine aboard, and this was employed to some advan tage. Slow progress was made, how ever, and the sea swept over the boat, flooding her cab. I UNCLE SAM'S "SUBS” AS GOOD AS HUNS Detailed examination of surrender ed German U-boats built in the war has produced nothing to fore cast important changes in Ameri can submarines, officers at the navy department assert. After care ful study of the German craft and a thorough test in the long cruise across the Atlantic, American ex perts have found only a few unim portant details worthy of incorpor ating in new American undersea craft. In periscopes and optical fittings the German boats were superior to | pre-war American submarines, it was admitted. Periscopes on new navy submarines, however, are su perior to the best similar fittings found on the captured vessels, it was said. The engine equipment of the Ger man boats was praised by American officers, but it was said that the mechanical plants of the enemy craft were In no respect superior to those already in use in the Uni ted States navy. In many points, particularly that of mechanical sim plicity, roominess and comfort for the crew, the American boats are regarded as superior to the German craft. FIND SITE OF ANCIENT TIBERIAS Some Jewish workmen, building a government road near Tiberias, Sea of Galilee, have unearthed remnants of ancient walls and columns. The government immediately stop ped the work, and Mr. McKay, director of the department of an tiquities, visited the spot with two members of the Jewish Exploration Society.

Inc.) AMONG my acquaintances are a young married couple whose marriage is a failure because both of them welch on the price of matrimony. Their home is full of unrest and discontent. They bicker and quar rel, and the domestic atmosphere is charged with criminations and re criminations. They are miserable, and yet they have all the raw ma terials for happiness in their hands. For they have youth and health, two beautiful children, and the man earns enough money for them to get along tn moderate comfort if they were willing to make the best of what they have. But they are not. They have never been able to reconcile them selves to the restraints and priva tions of domesticity. The man comes home at night mourning about the boxing match the boys in the office are going to see, or the play they are going to at tend, or the little game they are go ing to have that he had to forego because he couldn’t afford it, and had to punch the home time clock, any wav. When summer comes, he groans about the need of golf to keep him fit, and talks about how well he used to play before he was married, and the good times he had then, and then he goes about looking like a martyr because the only vacation that is within the limit of his sal ary is to stay home and help nurse the children. The wife was a business woman before she married, and earned enough to support herself comfort ably, dress well and enjoy the pleas ures of theaters and concerts and little trips. She sheds bitter tears over her shabby clothes, and as she walks the baby with colic, or stews over the kitchen stove, trying to accom plish the impossible task of camou flaging a chuck steak so it will taste as good as a tenderloin, she thinks enviously and rebelllously of the good old days when she went to balls at night arid kept her hands manicured and her hair marcelled. Now the trouble with these peo ple, and many others like them, is that they want to eat their cake and have it, too. And that can’t be done,, not even with angels’ food. It is only in novels that mar riage becomes a beautiful annex to all the pleasures of life which one has previously <«ijoyed. In reality, even under the most auspicious con ditions, it imposes penalties on both men and women that are almost prohibitive, but that they must en dure, or else be quitters. More, which they are bound to meet cheer fully for the sake of their honor.

It is said that when the Germans conquered parts of Gaul, the land was parceled out to chiefs, lieutenants and private soldiers. In return the holders of the lands prom ised military service when needed. Some of the land was given to fa vorites who were allowed to pay in money instead of service, and the system was established. Rent was certainly known in the days that Rome flourished, there being Latin names for rent under long leasehold tenure; rent of a farm, ground rent, rent of state lands, and the annual rent payable for the right to the per petual enjoyment of built on the surface of the land. 7.

The hydrographic office says that a nautical mile is defined to be one-sixtieth part of the length of a degree of a great circle of a sphere whose surface is equal in area to the area of the surface of the earth. This distance is about 6,080.27 feet. I'o. Q. What percentage on an in vestment would be yielded by Vic tory Liberty Loan bonds, and when do these bonds mature? A. The actuary of the treasury de partment states that money invested in Victory Liberty 4 3-4 per cent notes of 1922-1923 at the price of 95.78, which was being quoted at the time the question was asked, would yield, if held until maturity, 6.466 per cent interest. These bonds may be redeemed at the option of the government on June 15 or December 15, 1922, and they must be redeemed by June 15, 1923. “And now, Johnny,” said the teach er, “can you tell me what is raised in Mexico?” “Aw, go on,” replied the bright boy. “I know what you want me to say, but ma told me I shouldn't talk ’•mtgh.” and free at the same time. He can not have both the perquisites of the bachelor and the married man. As long as he is single, he has a right to stay cut as long as he pleases of an evening, and to spend his money upon such diversions as appeal him. But he forfeits these rights at the altar. When he vows to cherish a woman, he undertakes «r® 1W happy and contented; and to bear her company. Cherishing a woman cer tainly doesn’t mean leaving her to spend lonely and anxious evening? wondering where her wandering huA band is and suspecting the worst. Also when a man endows his Wife with all the worldly goods, he signs away his income in favor of his fam ily. He has no longer any right to blow in the money that should go for groceries, and rent, and shoes, in a poker game, or to spend it for h's own sole behoof and benefit. Therefore, a man commits a griev ous wrong against any woman by marrying her until he gets to the place where he wants to settle down and sit by his own fireside, and where he hankers for the domestic hash instead of the flesh pots of Bo hemia. As long as he wants to run around with the boys at night, and prefers golf to pushing a baby car riage on his afternoons off, let him stay single. So shall he escape cur tain lectures, and keep a monopoly on his own pocketbook, and preserve some poor unfortunate woman from being a neglected wife who has to put up with a grouchy husband, b Exactly the same thing may 1* said to women. The woman who merely gets a bill payer, and a danc ing partner, and a flatterer, and a purveyor of amusements when she marries, is a myth. There isn’t any such husband. Marriage for the average r£rl means sacrifice, and self-denial, wid doing without the pretty things she has been used to, and hard wirk; and unless she is ready to take upon her shoulders these responsibilities, she is dishonest and dishonorable to marry. She has no right to marry if she wants to be free to flirt around and play around with other men. She has no right to marry unless she is w.Jing to make her husband a com fortable and thrifty home. She has no right to*marry unless she Is will' ing to bear children. Both men and women can easth enough figure up the cost of matri mony, especially to people in moder ate circumstances, and unless thej are willing to pay the price, they should stay single. Love, the peac» of home, the joy that comes of « Iran and woman working and striv ing together, the clinging arm® oi little children, these are the re wards of marriage; but they Must be paid for. You cannot have thenj and the freedom of the bachelor man and woman at the same time.
