RAILROADS LAST CHANCE.
It was remarked Ly many observer?, when the
railroads were returned to their owners last win
ter, that It wa.i their "last chance." under vrivate
ownership and operation. The ultimatum has nref
iarily been modified by events. The roads proved
unable to hear the burdens thrust upon them, and
were Roon appealing to the strong arm of the fed
eral government. That was di.couraKin, but not
conciURl-ve. It was felt that the i.o toads a a vhole
had not had a fair chance. Thty were handicajjppd
by the burdens of lone repression and war condi
tions, and ome additional burdens resulting from
two j'ears of ftiblic control. There was a general
disposition, therefore, to let pr'.ate transportation
have another chance to make Rood.
It Is surely a fair chance thi.s time. The roads
have nearly everything they wanted In the way of
rates, assure! pro!it:j. financial safeguards and sat
isfied labor. They know also that if they really ned
anything else, within the public power to oestow,
they can pet It with one risid condition. That con
dition la that they Fhill make th bet of what they
have, and prove their right to further considera
tion. If they fail herein, even what they have will
almost crrtairiy be taken away from them.
Adequate, etlkient transportation this country
nuist have, at any cost. It can get It, somehow or
other, under permanent public operation, if the
country is driven to that ur.dr sired step. The gov
ernment i;j awkward and wasteful in handling bu.-d-ns
nterpri', but It Is usually capable of rising
t" a great emergency. Already it is bearing half
the burden. If the private railroad operators fall,
there will be no other recourse than to fall back
on the government altogether.
The American t-orle hope it will not be neces
sary that with their new resources and backing,
the present generation of railroad men will prove
their.selvt equal in capacity to their great predecessors.

HARDING ON COX ON TAXATION.
Republican effort from Harding to Pood'eHx.
to make it appear that Gov. Cox went nrons In his
comment on the taxation question. In his accept
ance speech, will fool no one, save those who know
no better, and thos who want to be fooled. They
do not tell you what Gov. Cox said. They merely
comment on what they want you to suppose he
said, and you are supposed to take their say so for
granted. They have lit on this because thy think
it touches the voter's pocketbook, and. because
they have found nothing else to light upon; that i-,
nothing save in the glitt ring -n ralities, unsup
jorted by fact, with which they 'discuss the League
of Nations.
And they have, lit upon it too. because what Gov.
Cox said on the taxation question was true, .and it
hurts. He told the truth when he s.iM the repub
lican congress had done nothing to put the taxes
back on a peace basis, repealing the war revenues,
and so lvying the peace taxes as to remove the
war inequalities, and place the burden of govern
ment support where It more properly belongs. It
is no answer to thi to assort that the republican
congress cut appropriations. All that the congres.s
did by cutting' api"ropri.i t ions was to rripii? f--v-eral
government departments that were doing good
v crk, and some of them sort ly needed for national
readjustment purposes The cuts were made, not to
benefit the public, but mainly where activity might
interfere with certain special advaniages that par
ticular interests enjoy.
IVrhnps r-'en. Harding, and the g. o. p. echoes,
think they can got away with it. talkinir to the
pei pie ia criticism of the war taxes imposed during
the war. blaming It upon the Wilson administra-
ti.
without assuming responsibility for a j r of
r.e'. ct. if not downright refusal on the pari of a
reo ib!. can congress, to am.-r..!. or correct the In
equalities in those taxes, this too des ite the presi-i-r.;'.s
recommendation, imploring such amend
ment an i correction. Th people are less concerned
about the amount of money th- government spends,
if it reeds be spa p.t. thr. th y are in the method
of collectir.g that ic.oroy. and in Moinp to It that
JuT:ce is done, an.! the rht people pay the bills.
Gov. Cox proposes a method of federal taxation
that will Tike the burden cf governrnf nt. much as
porvsjLIe, from th consumer, and place it upon the
profiteer, intent upon making profiteering unprofit
able. As it i- now. the tax is merely made an ft
cuie for hlsjh price?, and big profits, while racing
it alor.g to the consumer for payment. Kven had
the republicans made all the reductions in appro
priation bills that truy claim they have, bringing
down the total whkh they did but slightly. the
relief to the nine's would be unnoticeable. For in
stance, republicans howl because Pres't Wilson did
not buy the Cuban sugar crop, yet they cut. indeed,
refused an appropriation asked for that purpose
JttJt arnple of the method, and unprincipled
chicane, which ha. characterized congressional re
d jcti'Ti f'f appropriations ever siiu e the g. o. p.
taii.ed control.
If you beMv we would h v had cheaper
sugar, had 1'ncle am gone into the sugar business-
by buying up the uban ou'put, thank con-cr'.-s
for the high prices. Republicans Fay Pres't
Wilson took unwise counsel on the subject, but
th' inot effective HÜvlce was that of congress in
withholding from hi a the money to put Cncle
.im into the business with. You are fay'ng the
hiM. and now Sen. Harding aks you to vote for
h;m becau congress kept the appropriations
down; yes. down where the American Sugar Refin
ing Co. could make millions In consequence, and
the American public be robbed of several times the
amount of th appropriation asked. robbed by the
incre-. e in their grocery bills.

BIZARRE DANCE LOSES FAVOR.
There are many and increasing Indication that
the mania for the bUarre which has ob?essed de
votees of dancing for a decade has about ran its
course. The president of the Hritlsh Association of
Teachers of Dancing declares that "go-a.s-you-please"
dances are rapidly losing favor. It is a
healthy fign that the ballroom is being rid of these
perversions, which tor several years threatened to
bring into disrepute all fc "n of darn ing and Thus
to deprive us of what, when properly conducted, is
a refined as well as agreeable recreation.
The "turkey trot" probably was the innovation
of steps and postures of doubtful propriety, having
made its d'-but in 1510. It w.-js rap'dly followed by
suh variations as the "grizzly bear" and the
"bunny hug." the fango" and the "maxixe."
Preachers soon protested against what they termed
degradation of a refined art. and the s-erious dis
pleasure of many churches was aroused. The jour
nal of the vatlcan at Home voiced official disap
proval of this kind of d rncing.
When, as a result of this condemnation, dancing
musters modified the "turkey trot" into the "one
step" and introduced the "hesitation waltz"' and
"fox trot." a publi" not yet satiated with the gro
tesque seized upon the "shimmy." which until re
cently enjoyed a certain form of popularity. Even
that, however, is being abandoned and it is signi
ficant that no new monstrosities are making their
debut -o take its place.

FARM HELP CRISIS PASSED.
Farmers in the cast and west are harvesting
crops with much less difficulty than was anticipated
several months ago. according to reports and dire
predictions of farm help shortage stem to have been
exaggerated.
The simple expedient of offering wages more at
tractive than could be earned by unskilled labor in
the cities has solved the help problem In the wlfat
belt of the middle west. Attracted by $7 for 10
hours' work. 100, 000 men. recruited largely in east
ern cities, have descended upon the farms of Ok
lahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. The crop is bring
harvested with less delay than for a number of
years. Kansas City has wired the federal depart
ment of agriculture to send no more harvest hands
until called for.
Cooperation among farmers in the eastern sec
tion, notably Pennsylvania, has largely overcome
the shortage of farm help. All in a neighborhood
unite forces and go from farm to farm, complet
ing the harvest in much less time than formerly.
These steps apparently have gone far toward
solving a problem that has been growing more ser
ious each year for at least a decade.

(Itiohmond Virginian.)
Sen. Harding owes his nomination to Boss Fen
rose of Pennsylvania, who is known to be an exact
ing boss. If he is elected renro will be the power
behind the white house. Can he repay Penrose and
the interests behind Penrose that debt of gratitude
without sacrificing the interests of the American
people? If he is elected he must pay Penrose or ad
mit that he is an lngrate.
Just to show Sen. IJarding how very desirable
monoply really is. üoss Penrose and the monopolists
have monopolized all the celluloid, so that the other
four candidates can not distribute their pictures on
buttons this year. If he is elected president of the
United States, is he going to turn against his
friends? Is he going to turn against monopoly which
elected him? Is he going to atlck to his friends,
the monopolists, and let them hog-t American in
dustries? Sen. Harding says that he is a "listening can
didate." listening is right! He 1a listening to Boss
Penrose and the monopolists, who consider it a
good business proposition to spend money for his
election. If he does not listen to them he will get
himself "In dutch." The gentleman who coined the
expression, "between the devil and the deep blue
ea" must have, found himself in a predicament
somewhat like the senator's. Horse-ßiej In that
soup! Take it out:

As soon as my head wan uncovered

Whenever I essayed to swat you.
Away toward the ceiling you flew.
And tunefully boosted of what you

Although I am hardly heroic.
Like Ajax, or Hercules, still
I think I'm sufficiently stoic
To stand any blow from your bill.
My natural pride would prevent me
From wincing the least at the

Half mad. when you s ng.

And soon will vour children chant

Yvonne is almost a name without
a history. It is a feminine name
obviously invented from th mascu
line form for the purpose of hon
oring the name; it has no parallel
growth and no particular reason
for being. In short, it Is one of the
few names In etymological records,
which probably originally bestowed
upon some girl baby to jerpetuate
the name of the father in the event
that there was no subsequent male
heir.
The history of Yvonne dates back
to legendary times when a Persian
bishop named Ivhar. esablished a
hermitage in Huntingdonshire in
the seventh century, and provided
n patron for many an Ivar of Da
nish and Norman extraction. The
use of this name spread throughout
France, where it was known as
Yvon or Ivone.
Yvon became popular among the
chroniclers. Tt was Yvnr do Taille
hois. who was the villain in the
story of "HerewardV and his camp
of refuge. There was also the good
St. Ivo de Chartres, who suffered
unjust imprisonment, and St. Ives
of Brittany, the advocate' of the
poor.
There have been scores of Yvon
nes in ballad and romance, tei say
nothing of modern literature.
Though most popular in families of
French eleseent. Yvonne enjoys
great vogue in this country.
The opal Is Yvonne's talismanie
gem. Tt is said to bring her that
mysterious fascination which is as
sociated with superwoman charm.
It will also guard her from unhap
piness. Friday is hr luckv day and
7 her lucky number.
