THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH FRANCS CLIMB, BUT TWO DEAD BUTTERFLIES VOLTAIRE’S BAD SERVANTS ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^ Mr. Daugherty announces that Mr. Harding’s next campaign will be managed on the same lines as the last. That's good news, for the last campaign was run on a “no mixup with Europe basis” and was quite a success, winning with 7,000,000 votes to spare. Mr. Harding is “thinking up" his speeches soon to be made through out the country. A humble jour nalistic worm would recommend his opening: “Fellow citizens, I promised to keep you out of the league. I have done it, nnd I’m still against that democratic European propaganda nonsense. We have half of the gold and about all the sound credit in the world. Europe does not like us, naturally, for she is our debtor. But she dare not quarrel with us; while we keep aloof she would like a partnership with us, the closer the better. Re-elect me and I’ll see to it that Uncle Sam takes in no bankrupt partners.” The world’s money markets be lieve that France is winning in the Bhur. That is why francs climbed to 6.80 yesterday, dragging Bel gian and Italian money up with them. But France is borrowing 15,000, 000,(tOO francs, three times the sum Bismarck took from her. With all respect for bankers that deal in bonds and sell them at a profit, the public should be cautious about buying foreign bonds for awhile. How much would any bank lend a business concern if that concern were running behind billions a year in its overhead expenses? New York City reports “another Broadway butterfly dead.” A wild drinking party, at which large quantities of liquor were con sumed and the women guests sub mitted to rough handling. That’s the brief police statement. The “whisky without a cross word in a burrel of it” seems lack ing at modern parties. Mrs. Beckwith, unfortunate victim of the last “jollification” under pro hibition, died in the hospital, her body badly bruised and injured in ternally. The other “butterfly," Dorothy Keenan, was chloroformed, the po lice say, “by a cheap crook, who got not only money for himself, but gay clothes for his gal.” The criminal took the girl’s dress, hat and gray squirrel fur coat. Some where the killer and his “butter fly” are traveling with that cloth ing. No need to go to Africa to see tho jungle or its beasts. Magistrate Weil sent Mike Eidel to jail for 10 days—and out of his own pocket paid to Eidel’s family the amount Eidel would have earned had he not been sent to jail. That's justice and charity combined. Voltaire, learning that some of his servants had robbed him, warned them to flee and sent them money for expenses because, as he said: “If they are accused I shall not have influence enough to save tlmm from being hanged.” They h; d men for petty theft in that days. The French revolution stopped that, in Franee and elsewhere, and Voltaire, more than any other man, and to his • ternal glory, made that revolu tion. Phillip Snowden, labor and com munist. member of Great Britain’s parliament, wants to change every thing, eliminating the capitalistic system, because, he says, “88 per cent of Britain’s wealth is owned by 2' per cent of Britain’s popu lation.” Capitalists will wonder how the 07 Vz per cent manage to get their 12 per cent of the wealth. They will remind Mr. Snowden that les’ than 2% per cent of his total bod ily weight “owns" 100 per cent of' his intelligence. The English are wise in this: They are willing to listen. The English parliament pays close and patient attention to a debate advo cating a socialist form of govern ment for Great Britain, denounc ing the capitalistic form of govern ment as a failure, etc. Imagine that in the United States congress. There will not he any socialist government in England for a long time. The English avoid trouble, rot by locking up those that say what they think, but by listening to what they have to say and an swering it. Here we lock them up. Which is wiser time will tell. One hundred and thirty-five German female cooks, thoroughly trained, arrived in America yester day. They will work for $50 a month. That amounts to 100,000 mark in German money. Before the war a good young German , ,ok could have beep hired in Ger many for 80 marks. The kaiser surely raised wages—in marks.
