Today Labor in Power. 10,000 Scandals. This Awakes Them. Franc Still Lower. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Ramsay Macdonald, managing cautiously the labor government that manages the British empire, has trouble with his most radical followers. Macdonald sensibly wants to complete the great irriga tion system in the Sudan, to help cotton growers, increase crops and general welfare. Radical labor men say private individuals own the cotton fields and they don’t believe in doing anything for private prop erty. Xhe Irrigation, on which gigantic Bums haye already been spent, mil lions of pounds, would give employ ment in the Sudan, and guarantee a cotton supply to England. But that “makes no difference to “radi cals.” Who would have thought in 1914 that within 10 years the imperial British government would be a so cial labor government, and its most bitter opposition the extreme radi cal end of the socialist party. Things change rapidly, once they start. Washington is agitated, 10,000 “dreadful scandals,” are discussed and elaborately invented. But there is no cause for such excite ment. The country knows now what every Washington correspon dent, every well informed person, has always known in a general way. ^Where there is honey there are flies, and where there is graft, there are grafters. « Attorney General Uaugherty re turns to Washington today, and that return is worrying some gentle men “on the hill” on both sides of the capitol. If Daugherty chooses to tell what he knows, and it is likely that he will do so, there will be something really worth printing. The J. I. Case company, that makes threshing machines and other things for farmers, skipped a divi dend and the stock dropped with an unpleasant thud yesterday. Things of that sort may cause finan cial “best minds” to interest them selves in the poor farmer. What happens to him isn’t so important in the realm of high finance. But what happens to stocks is most im portant. The franc yesterday fell below 4 cents, lowest price in history. That's serious, and will hurry up some kind of German settlement. It Is reported that London is sell ing francs short, a-dangerous game at best. If francs drop to l cent apiece, you make about 3 cents profit. On the other hand, they might go up 15 cents. That would be unpleasant for the gamblers. To understand what the drop in francs means to Frenchmen, imagine the United States winning a war, and then finding its dollars ^worth less than 20 cents apiece, with bread at 50 cents a loaf, eggs $4 a dozen, etc. p Big financiers In Europe probably have advance information as to dis appointments that await France in its efforts to get money from Ger many and are selling French ex change accordingly. Police authorities in New York are arresting owners of various gambling devices, “slot machines.” Many are used in candy stores to start children gambling almost in their babyhood. Every city cursed with such ma chines should follow the example of New York. Next to teaching children to use drugs, teaching them gambling is the worst thing that could happen to them. Gam bling is worse even than drink, and harder to cure. The Rotary club asks, “What is your advice to youth?” One man answered, “What’s the use? A foolish answer. A better answer would be, “Make up your mind what you want, then work hard, live regularly, don’t imitate fools.” Another question was, “Can a man succeed after 40?” Real success is usually made after 40. You can’t judge moderns by Alexander, Napoleon, Pitt, Keats or such prodigies. It takes 30 years now to get the start of an educa tion, 40 to get half an education, 80 to get a fairly good education. You are hardly ready for real work until 40. The Reverend Dr. Gratz, who lives at Atlantic City, and who ob serves assorted females, says: “Flappers of 50 and 60 are re ■ sponsible for foolishness, setting a ' bad example to younger women.” The reverend doctor knows. What la; man would correct him? But if anything could save a young girl from making a fool of herself, it ought to be the sight of ■n old woman painted, powdered, squeezed, dyed, and set upon heels four inches high, with her poor fat Instep bulging over the slippars. The bureau of commerce esti mates the total wealth of the Philippine islands at $2,120,000,000. This of course is only a small part sf the real wealth, which is hidden under ground and concealed in op portunity. But how much do you think the Philippine islands would be worth JO years after Uncle Sam got out, if he did get out? Read Fronde's story of the West Indies, and his description of what happened to docks, warehouses, etc., where the colored population was put in charge. How long would it take those Filipinos to get rid of the schools that American enterprise has built? How long would their banks stand? The Chicago automobile club estimates that 10,000,000 Amer icans will go out camping this sum finer, using their automobiles for f traveling and camping, with per haps a tent attached. What is it worth to the United States to have 10 millions of Amer icans united in their pleasures in the family car, seeing the country their country--getting the fresh eir and meeting other Americans from all over the Uhited States?
