Today! Up It Goes, Again. 25 Years, and We Forget. 7 Ghosts, 7 Goats. No Dirt, Says Bryan. ^By ARTHUR BRISBANE^, Netv high prices for 6ugar, fel low citizens, 11 cents a pound, ar.d going up. Predictions of crop * shortage have sent Cuban sugar climbing. The Department of Commerce started it, the sugar gamblers are keeping it up, and you will have the pleasure of pay- ' ing the bills. Twenty-five years ago the Uni ted States declared war on Spain. Already millions of Americans do | not remember it. How quickly populations come and go. When we finished beating Spain we set Cuba free, did Spain a fa vor, taking the Philippine Islands off its hands and paid millions to the Spainish government. We paid other millions to the religious authorities in Rome. We never 1 thought of telling Spain it must pay us thousands of millions. Eu rope lias a different method of conducting war. That’s one rea son why it has so much war. You wonder how a handful of Englishmen govern three hundred million Asiatics in India. Your answer is: “Those Asiatics are deeply superstitious. The greater the superstition the easier to gov ern. Those that cannot think clearly cannot help themselves. A terrible coal mine explosion occurred at Barbelia, in India. Englishmen know that it was an explosion of coal dust that could have been prevented. Relatives of the 74 Asiatics killed, including 24 women working in the mines, say the explosion was caused by seven ghorts. They try to propi tiate those ghosts by sacrificing seven goats, one for each ghost. And that is what makes India easy to rule. Mr. William Jennings Bryan, amusing in his rage at any sugges tion that he descended from a monkey, says: “I prefer to begin with God and reason down, rather than begin with a piece of dirt and reason up.” First, Darwin never said that Bryan or anyone else descended from monkeys. Second, if Mr. Bryan accepts the biblical account, he must “be gin with a piece of dirt and reason up,” for it says, Genesis second chapter, seventh verse: “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground.” That bob-haired girl judge who sentenced seven men to death in Moscow the other day, ought to satisfy good Governor Richardson, of California. He says: “I wish every woman 'in California would get out and work in behalf of capi tal punishment.” Citizeness Ayna Gluzman, who has sentenced 25, including one woman, to death so far, must de light Governor Richardson. To the young Russian lady’s credit, it must be said that she refuses to witness executions. This is a description of the fe male “hanging (or shooting) judge.” “A cigaret held firmly between tight lips, fire of enthusiasm in brown eyes, slim, short, brown wavy bobbed hair, parted on the side like a man’s; jaw stern, rough high boots, black skirt, workman's blouse, old brown sweater, only ornament a communi.^ badge.” Mrs. F. A. Barnet, English wo man, widow of Canon Barnet, 71 years old, decided to try oil paint ing and after five lessons her first picture was accepted by the Royal academy. The brain does not grow old unless you allow it to grow old. The government opens 275,000 acres to ex-service men for home steads in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado. Besides giving land the govern ment should try to make the work ing of it successful and profitable. Co-operative use of tractors and other farm machinery, co-opera tively owned and cared for, ought to be a feature of the experiment. Giving the soldiers land isn’t as important as helping in successful management. A system has been discovered that makes it possible, by a new arrangement of the alphabet, to send radio, cable and telegraph messages at double speed. That is still ridiculously slow. That the speed of lightning should be limited by the speed of an opera tor’s fingers is preposterous. The telegraph line that now carries 1,000 words an hour could • just as well carry 200,000, or 1.000,000 words, if the speed of electricity were applied as it might he applied, in sending mes sages by feeding perforated mes sages to a sending machine, or otherwise.

Clarke Says Proposal Should Be Adopted hy Sen ate hy Viva Voce Vote. Chicago, April 2G.—President Hard ing's proposal for the United States to become a member of the world court of justice was endorsed today endorsed by John H. Clarke, former justice of the supreme court, in an address here. He declared the pro posal should he adopted by thg sen ate by viva voce vote without debate. Former Justice Clarke, who ap peared as a representative of the league of nations nonpartisan as sociation, said that only a small group of senators opposed the world court, some saying It had too much pow’er, others that it had too little power and at least one because he held it to be “the offspring of the league of nation^." No one has yet formulated how par ticipation in the court would carry the nation into the league of na tions, he asserted. As $n experienced lawyer, he said he was- sure pro posed reservations would prevent any relations with the league. Supported by Daugherty. Asheville. N. C., April 26.—At torney General Daugherty, comment ing on President Harding's speech on the world court, declared his argu ments in favor of American partici pation were “unanswerable and un assailable." “Cheap prejudice and misrepre sentation,” Mr. Daugherty said, “have been played tip on the court issue, hut an intelligent American people can now consider the matter of American membership In a world court from the standpoint of truth and dependable information." No F^r of Split. Washington, April 26.—The po litical aspects of President Harding's unequivocal commitment to the pro posal for American participation in his New York address continued to day to hold the* close attention of party leaders. The preponderance of sentiment among leaders as openly expressed favored the executive's stand and saw little to fear in the warnings from opposition sources of a party split on the issue. Alleged U.
