we have prepared to build Thee an
house for Thy holy name cometh
of Thine hand, and is all Thine own.

The limbo of the government attic

Odd, isn't it, that a Michigan boy

Six weeks ago they complained be
cause it was too hot.
:o:
A personal advertiser offers 2

Considering the expressions that

Contradictory to the belief that

One fashion authority says sixty
pairs of shoes are necessary for the
well-dressed woman's wardrobe. Yes,

A GREAT CHANCE
Indiana's governor has given the
Democrats of that state a very good
chance. By appointing Arthur Robin
son, an unheard-of citizen of Indiana,
to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Ralston, Governor
Jackson has started a dickens of a
row in the Republican party in that
state. The Indiana governor turned
down various Republican aspirants
for the vacancy, men of very groat
and of ordinary distinction, to give
the appointment to a personal friend,
one who, so it is surmised in some
political circles, will step aside at
the proper time and permit the gov
ernor to satisfy his ambition to be a
United States senator to be a can
didate, at least and that's about all,
provided the Republicans in Indiana
keep on rowing and splitting their
party into irreconcilable factions, as
they have done in the past, and the
Democrats make the most of the
chance that Is presented.
The appointment of Robinson, evi
dently, was not made on merit, al
though the disappointed Indianapolis
News seems to think that he "will
average very well with the average
senators," concluding the sentence
with this phrase "for there are men
in that body with whom he will com
pare favorably." To this the News
adds: "Names of many others, some
of whom had attained a high degree
of statesmanship, were presented to
the governor for his consideration,
but there was never any great chance
apparently that the appointee would
be anybody other than Robinson."
Think of it! The once high and
mighty Beveridge was turned down.
So were other Republicans of admit
ted ability and political strength. To
say that the personal friends and
political adherents of these Republi
can worthies are "fighting mad," is
to indicate the situation mildly, or
inadequately. Meanwhile, the Demo
cratic sage, at French Lick Springs,
nods. But Tom Taggart never sleeps,
although his eyes may be closed for
the time being, while inwardly he
smiles. It is only reasonable to as
sume that at the proper time he will
have something to say to the Demo
crats of Indiana and work a-plenty
for them to do by way of electing a
Democrat to the place so recently
occupied by that other able Demo
crat, Senator Ralston.
-:o:-
It's about time for the usual
Thanksgivin pictures of the Old Pil
grim Fathers out gunning for turkey
with a bell-muzzle blunderbuas. In
fact, the Thanksgiving pictures are
already creeping into the clothing
ads., only the pilgrims are carrying
wide-mouth megaphones into the
stadium. And the modern pilgrims
are not exactly Puritans; maybe
some of the old ones weren't either.

How would the great statesmen
get under way in his orations if
there had never been two Irishmen
named Pat and Mike?

There is tremendous activity in
dealings on the Stock Exchange these
days. Prices of stocks are going up.
Many speculators believe that the
prices of stocks will double in the
future.
Let us give these speculators en
couragement. The prices of stocks
will surely double. No one can set
any definite date for the doubling
process, but it will surely come
around.
Those gambling in stocks with
limited capital will lose. They al
ways must. Because, in all advanc
ing markets, there comes a time when
it is beneficial to the big gamblers
to shake out the little ones. This
process is called "making the mar
ket healthy."
The big gamblers control the daily
fluctuations of stock prices. A dozen
bank presidents and big operators
can effect a sufficient change in the
figures recorded on the ticker on any
given day, to wipe out the foolish
ones who bought stocks on a shoe
string. A thousand bank presidents in co
operation, with biggest stock, gamb
lers could not, however, affect the
trend of security values in the long
run. Because, in the long run, values
are fixed by the public's desire to buy
or sell.
But disaster comes to those who
gamble in stocks on a narrow margin
without possessing sufficient re
sources to hold on for the long run.
The reason that all stocks will
double is that the United States of
America is doubling. It is doubling
in population, in output, in absorp
tion of its own products. Every well
conducted business is growing and
prospering. Its profits are increasing.
Ultimately they will double.
If you invest your money in a fine
kind of company, your stock is
bound to double in its price its mar
ket price.
As far as material prosperity is
concerned, this country is safe. It
will grow. And all the enterprises
within its bounds will grow with
it.
One thought, only, the writer
wishes to present.
ou buy a share of good stock
for $100 and you receive $5 every
year for your investment. The com
pany grows and you find that your
share o stock is selling for $200.
And you are receiving $10 for every
year. You imagine that you are be
coming wealthier.
You mustj remember, however, that
where you formerly paid the laundry
3c for a collar you now pay 6c. Where
you formerly paid the cook $5 a
week, you now pay $10 a week.
Everything is doubling. Laun
dries, cooks, the landlords and the
butchers. All Americans keep apace
with the glorious, economic prosper
ity of America.
The sore spot comes when you
realize that $10 today does not
amount to any more than $5 did twen
ty years ago. And $20 a few years
from now will not bring you more
than $10 does today. All of .which
is sad. But cannot be helped.
:o:
SEVEN YEARS AGO
The republic of Cecho-Slovakia is
economically and politically one of
the stablest states of Europe. Yet this
state is only seven years old, is form
ed of peoples closely related by blood
but long politically separated, is de
prived of the inestimable advantage
of a seacoast, and is surrounded by
nations, some of which are extremely
unsympathetic. Now the seventh an
niversary of the birth of the Cecho
Slovakian republic, is proudly ob
served, not only at home but also by
men and women of Bohemian, Mora
vian and Slovakian origin through
out the world.
Less than a month ago Dr. Vilem
Pospisil came to Washington to ar
range for the funding of the Cecho
Slovakian debt to the United States.
He presented an estimate which fix
ed the debt, including principal and
interest, at $107,000,000. By Amer
ican accounting the amount was
$117,000,000. The Cecho-Slovakian
representative, while expressing his
confidence in the accuracy of his es
timate, at once proposed a compro
mise at $115,000,000. This was ac
cepted, details of funding were ar
ranged without haggling, and the
Checo-Slovakian mission was on its
way back to Prague after three days
of negotiation. It was a striking ex
ample of Cecho-Slovakian directness
and efficiency.
Cecho-Slovakia was born fifteen
days before the armistice of 1918.
Only the energy, the enlightenment
and the high intelligence of the
Cecho-Slovakian people can account
for the almost incredible progress that
has made the republic today one of
the world leaders in finance and In
ternational politics.
:o:
John D. Rockefeller, Sr., contin
ues hia utter indifferences toward
public feeling and is said to be writ
ing another poem.
Henry Cabot Lodge is dead, but
his hatred and his vindictiveness
still live; their noxious breath is
felt in almost every page of the post
humous volume which he dedicated
to his enmity for Woodrow Wilson
and, the League of Nations, an en
mity not for the league itself, but
because it was the emboriment of
Wilson's ideal as an instrument of
peace. Woodrow Wilson is dead, and
the hymn of hate that comes from
the grave of the Massachusetts Sen
ator can do him no harm nor can it
detract from his fair reputation as
a world builder at atime when the
world was frantically engaged in
tearing itself to pieces. Both have
passed on to such rewards as may
await the results of their labors here.
It would be a futile thing for the
friends and followers of either to
continue the controversy which was
used by Senator Lodge to fan post
war political hatreds, and which
wrecked the life and hopes of the war
President.
It is worth while, however, in the
light of present events In the Near
East to consider the posthumus
statement of Senator Lodge that the
League of Nations is a wholly futile
thing. Developments of the last few
days give the lie to that declara
tion from the grave. Bulgaria and
Greece have been practically at war.
Each is said to have occupied ter
ritory of the other. Just why they
are at arms, neither has been able to
explain satisfactorily, but given the
same conditions that existed then
it is as dangerous a situation as that
which precipitated the World War. If
the League of Nations had existed
then thatwar might never have
been foght. The League has not
been idle in the last few days. Athens
and Sofia were given twenty-four-hours
warning to sease hostilities
and to withdraw within their respec
tive borders. It was a supreme test
for the league but it is written there
is every reason to believe that the
quarreling nations will fully yield
to the tremendous pressure that has
been put upon them, and a danger
ous conflagration in Europe's cock
pit was averted. The League wins,
its victory is a happy complement to
the recent peace developments at
Locarno; even if it does not receive
the full measure of compliance with
its demand, its action will have
justified its existence, for the knowl
edge that there is such an interna
tional body to which the differences
of nations may be taken, for ami
cable adjustments, and the further
assurance that a flaunting of its au
thority must bring down on the of
fenders against the world's peace,
world-wide disapproval and reprisals,
will prove a stabilizing factor and
help to make war remote. And thus
the living write their own refutation
of the dead Senator's last filing
which was penned not In faith, but
in personal hatred and political bit
terness. :o:
OUR SHYLOCK HOLE.
It is reported by David Lawrence,
a reliable political observer, that the
United States Government has no
tified private bankers that it will
look with disfavor upon loans to
those foreign Governments which
have not yet settled their war debts
with this country; likewise, upon
loans to cities in those countries or
to industrial enterprises in which
debtor Governments have an inter
est, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
This species of coercion is partic
ularly unfortunate at this time, when
Europe is unsettled both politically
and economically, and, far from be
ing in a condition to pay enormous
sums to the United States, is look
ing to this country for funds to tide
it over a dangerous period. It em
phasizes the view now generally held
in Europe that this country is a
Shylock.
If the United States were in dire
need of money, Its position could be
justified. But we, who suffered far
less than the other Powers in the
war, are enjoying enormous prosper
ity. Our national debt is being re
tired at a swift rate, and our Na
tional Treasury has rolled up large
surpluses. While citizens in debtor
countries are being called upon to
pay heavier and heavier taxes, we are
experiencing a, steady relief from
war-born imposts.
In these circumstances, to pinch
France and other nations by placing
an embargo on foreign loans is an
act not in keeping with justice and
fairness. Moreover, even its wisdom
may be questioned. Trying to get
money from impoverished Europe is
almost like trying to draw blood from
a turnip. To cut off one of Europe's
few sources of financial relief is to
retard the work of post-war recon
struction. Instead of using coercive methods
to collect) war debts, this Government
would be much wiser to take an en
tirely different attitude toward the
whole question. Instead of regarding
the war debts as a cold economic
