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.

Ex-Justice Backs
Harding on Court
John H. 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.

Duke of York and his bride, Lady Elizabeth Dow es-Ljon.
(Continued From Page One.)
At one point Alexandra leaned toward
him and whispered in his ear what
some in the audience declared must
have been ,good advice to a bachelor.
Ceremony Begins at 11:30. *
The wedding ceremony began
promptly at 11:30. After the king and
1 t|ueen and other royalties and clergy
, had taken their places In the sa
jcrarium, the soft, melodious tones of
the invisible male choir accompanied
by the sonorous booming of the great
I organ, flowed over the gathering, flll
' lng the vast abbey with moving
| cadences.
After the archbishop of Canterbury
1 had recited the usual ritual the
duke placed the ring on the fourth
finger of his bride's left hand, and in
u resolute voice said:
“With tlds ring I thee wed. with
j my body I thee Worship, and with all
ray worldly goods I thee endow ."
The archbishop then offered prayer,
I pronounced the couple man and wife ,
| and proclaimed to the vast congrega j
tinn: "Those whom (iod hath joined
together let no man put asunder." i
He added his blessing, and the newly- j
married pair advanced inside the j
sanctuary and knelt at the altar !
while the choir sang "Wesleys
Chant.”
The service was concluded with a
short prayer and benediction and the
congregation knelt in silent devo
tion. The royal couple then repaired i
to the chapel of Kdward the Confes
sor. where they signed the marriage |
signing the register the duke !
