AGREEMENT AS TO RUSSIA.
Sorpe satisfaction must be felt over the ac
cord with which the United States and France
appreach the Russian question.-' The "policy
adopted by these great republics differs, in some
degree from that manifest in. Great Britain,
chiefly on the point of how far political recogni
tion may be extended to the sovictst 1 It is not
very likely that Lloyd George. wiU go to the
extent that seemed lo be indicated as possible
in his late note to France, which suggested the
not altogether' insurmountable obstacles "fd deal
ing with the Lenine crew as responsible leaders
in Russia. The French go-ernment adopts the
language of the Colby note as its own, while
Italy is similarly committed, ind thus we are as
sured that if England does move as intimated it
might, the step will be taken alone, and this
under existing conditions is hardly to be
thought" of.
Advocates of the 'League of Nations, who
have been so earnestly asserting that our -country
could not be called into war on account of
Poland, might wish Secretary Colby had been a
little more circumspect in his language,-, when ad
dressing a deputation of Poles. The seeetary
of state then expressed himself that the Aineri-s
j cin government w-ould support 'PoHsh indeperl
f fierce to the full, extent of the constitutional
J ' power confided in the executive." .It, is cdrrifort-
ing to know that at last the executive admits that
the Constitution limits his power; but it i$"tiisi
Sir quieting to have the secretary of sUte officially
j express himself thus:
'i"V . We cannot go to the .relief even of Poland,,

"k ? In simple terms,' Mr. Colby tells these Ameri
disorders are bubbles that will burst as the
waves of world disturbance gradually subside.
More petty setbacks come from the maladroit
meddling of politicians than from any other
source. The people of Europe want peace and
are going to have it, even1 if it becomes necessary
to kill off the trouble makers in order to get it.

Important -'Very If True.
At last the American eagle may again stand
upright and look the whole world in the face.
His savor faire, his amor propre, his nonchal
ance, his verve and his metier (if you know what
that means) have been restored to him.. His.
scream will once more be loud and raucous, and
the lesser breeds of birds and mammals will lie
low when they hear it. "'.''
"How come?" you. ask us. Well, just read
what Franklin D. Roosevelt told his hearers at
Butte, Mont., Wednesday:
The republicans are playing a shell game
on the American people, because they are still
busy circulating the story that England ha
. six votes to America's one. It is just the other
way. As a matter of fact, the United States
has about twelve votes in the assembly. Until
last week I had two of them myself, and now
Secrethy Daniels has them. You know I have
had something to do with the running of a
couple of little republics.. Facts are Jhat I
wrote Haiti's constitution myself, and if I do
say .it, I think it a pretty good constitution.
Now, isn't that just too cute for anything ? AH
this time Keynes and Dillon and Gibson and the
rest have been depicting. Wilson at Paris in the
role of Little Red Ridinghood, or Alice in Won-,
derland, or Daniel in the Den of Lions, and we
have felt sorry for him, when, as a matter of
fact, he was just trying to conceal the truth that
he had not only hornswoggled Lloyd George and
Clemenceau and Caproni and the other smooth
Ephs who represented the effete monarchies of
Europe in that conclave, but actually had
skinned them out of their eyeteeth. Of course
the truth had to come out some time, and how
delicately the democratic candidate for vice pres
ident goes about to divulge the secret. How
Mr. Wilson must swell with pride, when he
thinks of this disciple of his, and how Bain
brjdge Colby will shrivel in envy as he views the
triumph of "F: R."
Then, consider the element of modesty that
resides in the simple confession of the shrinking
violet candidate that he had up to a few days
ago two votes himself, but had turned them over
to Josephus Daniels. "I wrote Haiti's, consti
tution myself," sezze, "and if I do say it, I think;
it is a pretty good constitution." In view of the
fact that it was prepared in the Navy depart
jjnent, and that Haiti is just now governed by
the Marine corps, any form of constitution so
prepared and presented will undoubtedly look
good to Haitiens.
" Try to imagine the spectacle of Uncle Sam,
walking into a meeting of the League of Nations,
supported by Haiti, Santo Domingo. Guatemala,
Costa Rico, Panama, and Cuba, to offset the votes
of Canada, Australia, the South African Union
and ; India. No wonder Mr. Wilson kept still
about it; but Mr. Roosevelt has .spilled the beans!
! problem is only half solved; he must get it to
market, and the cost -of transporting it de-
ilktermines his real profit. This is elemental, and'
: .requires no demonstration. It follows,- thenj
J f"4hat any change in transportation .directly af-
fects, the value of all the farmer produces, and
t' incidentally, his land as" well.
i,Xs '':. The primary , element of the transportation
;;!problem as relates to agriculture is the hauj.from
Jf the farm to the railroad. This is determined by
M fiht quality of the highways, and explains the
.nterest taicen oy farmers in gooa roaas projects.
jThen the accessibility of tidewater becomes a
"ifactor, for the final selling price of the farm's
utput depends on world markets. Hence The
'jrBee's sincere advocacy of the projected water-way
to Europe via the Great Lakes and the St.
Lawrence river.
f Here enters another factor, of much impor
tance in the west. Some of the most prolific,
and not always the .newer, grain producing
jfegions are remote from railroad facilities. In
(western Nebraska, hauls of forty miles to get
H rain to ears are not uncommon. The expense
i of getting crops out is discouraging to these

j It is' axiomatic that access to market is es
$ jifential .to success for any producing industry.

A Strange Cleopatra.
Women who have this curious power of in
citing men to violence are seldom beautiful, to
the eyes of ah unprejudiced observer. Their
power rests on some deeper witchery. Cleo
patra's coins show her a hook-nosed harridan,
but she changed, the history of the world at
.Actium. Chicago Journal ' t :
; Cleopatra -jvis 1W Vet, forty when she poi
soned, herself,' and 'ail the weight of history is
againsi any such classification of her face and
form as that' conveyed by the words "hooic
riosed harridan." Plutarch, (whose descriptions
of the personal appearance of people he wrote
about are generally accepted as authority, says
Dellius "had no sooner seen her face" than he
was certain Antony would not be unkind to her.
The great historian and biographer himself said
"her actual beauty" was not incomparable,- but
it, w ith her charm of manner, voice and culture,
"was irresistible." So Antony found it, at any
rate. He met her, Plutarch says, "at the time
of life when woman's beauty is most splendid."
(she was then 28) which can hardly be rejected
as evidence of her beauty too strong to be offset
by an ugly coin. 1
Dr. Smith, in his "History of Rome," speaks
of her beauty at IS; and at 28,, when she set out
in her barge to capture Antony, she took the
"most beautiful of her female slaves" with her.
So clever a woman as the Egyptian queen, had
she herself been ugly, would not have done that.
Dr. Smith says "her wit and vivacity surpassed
even her beauty." Another convincing fact is
that the sort of dalliance Antony enjoyed with
Cleopatra does not go with unsightly features,
no matter how winsome a woman's intellectual
Piifts may be. We cannot escape the conclusion
. that the Journal has been deceived as to Cleopa
tra's facial charms by a false coin.

Delight Not the Word.
, Professions of delight by democratsbecause
they think they are "driving Harding off the
front porch," are a little premature. The senator
will make quite a number of speeches away from
home, but the front porch also will be a busy
place until November.
; . Even in the event that Senator Harding
'abandoned his porch speeches, and . went all
over the country delivering addresses, the effect
of them would not be delightful to his political
opponents, for .his appearance is notably at
tractive, and his personality a great 'asset. We
have not a doiibt that every public appearance
he makes away from home will add to his ma
jorities. , -. , '

RAILROAD HEALTH WORK.
H. W. Hovenberg of the St. Louis.
& Southwestern railroad told the
Southern Medical society recently of
what the railroads lri southeastern
Texas had done to fight malaria.
Upon investigation he found that
one-third of the admissions to the
railroad hospitals on his road were
due to malaria; one-third of the
money spent on medical relief was
charged to malaria. Each hospital
patient cost his road an average of
$50.
All of this runs into money, but
the greatest loss came from poor
work done by railroad employes who
were drawing pay for a day's work,
but because of malaria could pnly
do about one-half a day's task.
The federal manager of a railroad
through that section said the rail
road could afford to do antl
malaria work if it only prevented one
case of malaria for each 10 miles
of track.
In addition came the railroad's
loss through the inefficiency of the
malaria-stricken labor force of saw
mills and other Industrial enter
prises along their lines. Undoubted
ly the railroads contribute through
their burrow pits and other water
pools to the spread of malaria in
the civilian population. In fact, Dr.
Carter said in Virginia the railroads
were responsible for one-half of all
malaria. ' ' . '
Hovenberg found that 90 per cent
of the malaria among railroad men
was among the section men, the
extra gang men, and the shop men.
Of these forces the section hands,
comprising 20 per cent of the group,
furnished 25 per cent of the malaria.
The extra gangs, 'making up 10 per
cent of the force, furnished 25 per
cent or the malaria. The bridge
crews, water service, and work train
men; comprising 5 per cent of the
force, furnished 15 per cent of the
fever. Twenty per cent of the men
were shop men, but they supplied
only 10 per cent of the malaria. The
way to control malaria among the
section hands is:
(a) Screen all houses.
(b) Supply 16 mesh screening
at cost to men who live in their
own homes.
(c) Furnish free quinine.
(d) Eliminate' all mosquito
breeding places along, the right
In these days of high, prices it makes one
envy the natives of New Granada, who are
provided with ready-made shirts free' of all
charge. "The Song of the Shirt", is not ap
plicable in Oronoko, which is situated on the
Cerra Drida slope, New Granada, for it is there
that the natives wear Nature's eady-made
shirts. No stiches are needed in these shirts,
and as they grow they are carefully watched
until they have become large enough to be util
ized for clothing purposes. The marina tree
is the wonderful shirt-producing palm, it being
a species of tropical palm, having a thin, fibrous,
red bark. -When an Indian wants a shirt, all
he has to do is to cut off a piece of one of
these palms, about 18 inches or thereabouts in
diameter. He next removes the bark, taking
particular care that he does not cut it in any
way, and thus he now possesses a hollow cvl-
inder of flexible bark, which somewhat resem-
