TH/S IS THE YEAR”—
ONE REASON work ia so unpopular is that it represents so much
work.
AND NEXT time Doc Nicholas Murray Butler feels like holding a post
mortem he probably will not do it
NEW YORK is worse than ancient Babylon, says the pastor of one of
her churches. There is nothing in that remark to give offense to the con
firmed New Yorker.
FEDERAL DEPARTMENT of agriculture states cost of producing
wheat in 1919 was, on the average, $2.15 per bushel. Remember away back
when farmers talked of dollar wheat?
IT SEEMS that Will Hay? and Harry M. Daugherty are discussing
plans for notifying Harding of his nomination. What if Harding should
find out about his nomination meanwhile?
-! '
SPEAKING of the fun that is poked at women for wearing furs in
summer, one of the fair sex calls attention to the fact that the original
owners of the furs wore them the year around.
ENEMIES of Sam Gompers vowed to displace him as president of the
American Federation of LaboMnd the convention increased his salary to
$12,000 a year. No wonder he does not worry about his job, if that is the
worst they can do!
“PRESERVED AMERICANISM,” according to Senator Harding, will
be the issue represented by the republican party, which causes the- New
York Evening Post to suggest "preserved in vinegar.” Judging from the
spirit of the republican convention and platform.
Self’lndicted Senators
When James Eli Watson and his senatorial associates completed the
platform that the republican party was compelled to accept at Chicago they
must have viewed the result of their labor with mingled pride and appre
hension— pride at the skillful tissue of evasion and apprehension lest it be
read by intelligent voters.
For in the mere reading of the more than 6,000 words lies the only
necessary test of the lack of sincerity, the evasion, the plain falsehoods
and the total inadvisability of its acceptance.
“Peace found the republican senate as unprepared for peace as
•war found it unprepared for war. The vital needs of the country de
manded the early and systematic return to a peace-time basis. This
called for vision, leadership and intelligent planning. All three have
been lacking. While the country has been left to shift for itself the
congress continued on a war-time basis. The republican congress has
not demobilized the army of place holders. It continued a method of
financing which was indefensible during the period of reconstruction.
“It has allowed legislation passed to meet the emergency of war
to continue its arbitrary and inquisitorial control over the life of the
people in time of peace, and to carry confusion into industrial life.
. '. Eighteen months after the armistice, with its wartime pow
ers unabridged, its wartime departments undischarged, its wartime
artcv of placeholders still mobilized, the nation continues to flounder
helplessly while the republican congress stands adjourned.” „
Thus did the senators, under the direction of Mr. Watson, indict
tbsm^elves!
For the above are the words of the republican platform with the mere
Interchanging of “republican senate” for “democratic administration.
We submit that the substitution is fair and proper, for the reason that
the rpembers of this republican senate have set themselves up before this
country as a controlling body, an assemblage of all wise men whose ability
to govern the nation they have never doubted and whose Insistence on the
privilege has resulted in the nomination for president of on© of their num
ber “in order,” they say, “that we may have an executive in sympathy
with the legislative branch” which they now constitute.
V.'e submit that there is not one of the things they charge against the
Wilson administration as improper for which the legislative branch has
not been responsible—either by its acts or its failures.
Whether this nation is willing to admit that it is suffering today from
a lack of preparation for peace, it can not forget that it is not today at
peace and the republican majority of the senate is responsible.
Ben Lindsey on Harding
Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver is another bull mooser who refuses
to let the dead-past bury itself, so far as Senator Harding is concerned.
The judge appears to remember what Harding wrote about Roosevelt in
I*l2, in which T. R. was called “a man without conscience and regard for
truth,” and was denounced as an Aaron Burr and later as a Benedict
Arnold.
And now Lindsey writes about Harding, a3 follows:
"I do not see how any real progressive friend of Col. Roosevelt can
help but bitterly resent the outrageous attack of Senator Harding unon
Col. Roosevelt, and naturally I think this circumstance alone will do much
to deprive him of the votes of the progressive elements of this country.”
A Scientific ‘Divining Rod’
Science for many years has laughed at the “divining rods” with which
Credulous and unlettered folk sought to find treasure of one kind or an
€J3ier !n the earth, but now a scientist, Prof. A. R. Bauder of the Univer
sity of labama, has invented one.
While the contrivance on which Prof. Bauder has applied for patents
is not called a “rod," it is one in effect. It Is an electrical device to locate
oil pockets; not only will it show the existence or nonexistence of oil in a
given area, but, according to the inventor, it will also determine the limits
of the oil pool and Indicate with reasonable accuracy the depth of the de
posit. *
Prof. Bauder is reported to have based his device on the resistance
and other electrical properties that surround oil wells.
Experts on geology concede that the idea may have possibilities, but
say It is largely a question of physics. An authority on physics when In
terviewed regarding the device said there seemed to be something in it,
but believed it to be more in the field of electrical engineering, and the
electrical engineer stated It was entirely possible that the scheme would
work out, as it appeared to be based on the system now in use for locating
water and for determining the depth, extent and direction of underground
water.
All this is encouraging as showing that the inventor’s fellow scientists
look on his Idea with open minds while awaiting a demonstration.
Prof. Bauder’s interest is scientific, of course, but think of the suckers
who will be saved if his device proves practical.
Jazz on the Brain
“Jazz music produces a fevered disorder of the brain, leading to bad
temper and frequently bad health.
"Not one temperament in a thousand can stand an afternoon of Jazz
and remain sane.”
The foregoing words are not ours. The authority quoted is none other
than M. Duque, inventor of the maxixe (whatever that is) and professor
of dancing in Paris.
M. Duque thus explains why he has canceled the engagements of Amer
ican Jazz bands at his summer palaoe in Paris.
"No man or woman is normal after he has danced to the music of a
jazz orchestra for more than a half hour,” he says.
These are the reasons, in the opinion of M. Duque, why the dancing
craze in Europe is near its end.
"The only hope for the dance,” he declares, "is to Jazz and
bring back the old, healthy dances —the waltz, the polka, and
the maxve.”
Os course 'he professor mav be prejudiced as to the ac
count of ia- :ni’ ir.'vnted it. Wo don't know about that.

WHEN A GIRL MARRIES
A New Serial of Young Married Life
CHAPTER LXXUI.
With the proud air of a successful
hostess, Evelyn seated us t a table set
for eight and' Insisted that we order,
since Carlotta Sturges was always late.
Enjr sat beiween Jim and Neal, but
her wistful, fcide blue eye* kept straying
to the handsome English officer, who
divided his attentions impartially be
tween Betty and me and seemed hardly
aware of Evvy.
Just as we were finishing our can
taloupe a big red-haired girl, wearing
stunning sport clothes, a lot of makeup
and an air of being interested In every
thing, came swinging In with a hand
some. gray haired man of great distinc
tion. Tie had reckless, moving eyes of
dark blue.
“Devil may-care Irishman,” I said to
myself.
Before any one could offer introduc
tions he crossed to Jim's side. Then I
observed my husband.
His fa>e was white and stern, his lips
set in a grim line, his right hand was
tightly clutching the stem of bis water
goblet.
“Hello, Jim! How’s Jeanie?” asked
the gray-haired man In a voice with a
lilt In it.
“How are you, Dalton?’* returned Jim
curtly. “Virginia Is very well.”
Ewy’s, voice broke the tense silence
that held us all.
“Come here, haidsome Fat Dalton. I've
a'friend or two for you to meet.’*
Then she presented Miss Sturges and
Mr. Dalton to the rest of us. For a mo
ment I fancied that there was a note
of malice In her husky little vote*, but
a second later she was leaning over to
Jim with an air that seemed all sweet
ness, and she began pleading with him
in low tones. Whatever it was that
caused Jim to hate Mr. Dalton so 1 hoped
he would forgive the git!, who evidently
hadn’t known how unpleasant a meeting
between the two men must be.
Mr. Dalton seem to take a keep de
light In making friends with Jims
friends. Betty jynd Terry responded to
his undoubted charm, and agreed read
ily enough when he suggested a glass
of wine. Os course, they hadn't ob
served Jim's annoyance, and as 1 real
ized this I felt strangly happy. After all,
none of Jim’s friends knew all about him.
Even i, his wife, must still come to know
every phase of him, to weave_ all my
knowledge into perfect Intimacy.*
When the wine glasses were put on the
table I turned mine down, and then I
felt ashamed of my conspicuous action
when 1 saw him merely motion the waiter
away.
All through the 'dinner the waiter kept
filling and refilling Mr. Dalton’s glass.
Jim watched him rather scornfully as
lie tossed off drink after drink, but the
other man kept well within bounds, and
was so entertaining and charming that
young Neal fairly hung on his words
Miserably I watched my brother drink
his second glass of champagne and saw

Neal had offended Betty. Now he was

PARTY.
This party would be more likely
to hurt the republicans through
taking away the old republican states
of Wisconsin, Minnesota and North
Dakota and possibly South Dakota,
with a chance of adding Montana and
Idaho. Some of these states have
big nonpartisan organizations at the
present time and their old polit
leal leaders have been so scared of
the new movements that they have
practically been absorbed by the
movements instead of standing pat
nud uniting to combat the progress
of the new organizations.
