NOW, HOW ABOUT THE SOUP HOUSES? The republicans used to point with pride to what they wore pleased to call the free soup house regime of Grover Cleveland, back in tlf eighties. All the old timers remeber how the republicans used to make faces and yell “soup houses”, most offensively, whenever some foolhardy democrat would dare to raise his voice above a whisper. A little over a year ago the republican party came back into power in the nation. Warren Gamaliel Harding was elected. - Every bill board in the country was decorated with flawing posters bearing the pictures of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge in the fore ground. In the background appeared a forest of smoke stacks, from which great volumes of smoke were pouring,. “Elect Harding and Open the Factories,” was the slogan prominently displayed on these posters. Harding was elected, and today, more than one year after his triumphant election by the bewildered voters of the nation, the factories still stand idle. The only smoke emerging from thfe smokestacks of industry was made by the pointers and engravers who designed the wonderful posters. Today, with hogs at six cents a pound and corn thirty cents a bushfl, dire want stalks throughout the land. In Muncie thousands of men ate out of work and a survey of those in charge of the collection of thp winter relief fund, discloses the fact that seven hundred families in Muncie are absolutely destitute of money, food and fuel, and with scarcely clothihg) (enough to cover their bodies, ^ Does anybody living remember that under the administi^tion of Grover Cleveland, or any other president for that matter, democrat or republican,, that it became necessary for every city i'n the land to make an organized movement to visit every man or woman who might be able to contribute 1 to a relief fund, in order to prevent millions of men, women and little children from starving? The Post-Democrat takes no pleasure in making comparisons between Cleveland soup houses of thirty years ago and the Harding winter relief fund of 1921. It is possible that if James M. Cox had been elected president the same condition would now prevail. What we want to emphasize the fact that Warren Gamaliel Harding obtained his offtce under false pretenses. He promised to opVm the factories and start the smoke stacks going when he knew that it was not within his power to do so. He and hfs billion dollar backers and press agfents deliberately held out to a workless nation the false hope that the election of Harding would mean the restoration of “confidence” and an imnnediate resumption of business and industry. These false prophets of prosperity knew that they we're promising with but if the soap refuses to lather and the breakfast food whch has helm writers to coin seductive phrases to beguile foolish voters. It was a vast advertising campaign whose purpose was to sell Harding to the voters of the country. Popular brands of breakfast food and soap are sold by the same methods, enthusiastically promoted by a million dollars worth of advertising, proves to be composed of sawdust, there will he very few repeat orders, and the business will soon be in the hands of a I'eceiver. Confidence 'restored, indeed! In fact, the people are now thoroughly of the opinion that they were bunkoed by a vast “confidence” gfune. They were betrayed into vot?ng for Harding by a line of “bull” that will forever disgrace those who put it over. / . • t" It is now the duty of everybody who can spare the morjey, to help the weedy, ..but. those who pay, and those who receive, should rpmember the brass throated liars who promised to trade them prosperity for votes.
LIPERTY BONDS AND EASY MARKS Liberty bonds are rapidly approaching par, which is natural^ to be expected, now that most of them have gone into the hands of the big financial powers of the country. There was a time whten the German mark advanced in value while the American liberty bond was receding. Many American marks sold liberty bonds and bought German marks. Since, liberty bonds have advanced, as everybody knew they would, and German marks have gone down to eleven cents less than nothing, or thereabouts. It ijs evident that the money gpmblers first cleaned i^n on the artificial boom in German marks, then rode the mark market down to a successful finish, and having gi'abbed off most of the liberty bonds, began to push th-em to par as rapidly as possible. All the evidence points to the conclusion that the same set of money sharks who were responsible for the rise and fall of the German mark, are also manipulating the liberty bond market. As usual the ordinary citizen, who was led to believe that the liberty bond was a sort of a sacited piece of paper, is the one who settles the bill.
Prosecutor Benadum is quoted in a local daily as saying that he has not yet decided whether he will ask for a new trial in the Keith case. Wei may be a little bit shy on law, hut it seems that we have hea'rd 1 some place or other that a man cannot be placed in jeopardy twice for the same offense. However, you never can tell, as Lawyer Tutt says. Maybe they’re going to make it the best two out of three.
That Anderson jury evidently believed that Xene Smith fired the shot which killed the Roumanian. Several great legal minds, and an accommodating judge at Winchester, allowed Xene Smith to plead guilty to a charge of manslaughter, after receiving his statement that he had simply fired a shot in the ground with an old fashioned, two barreled (jferringer. The legal compromise at Winchester and the open trial, before a jury of twelve citizens of Madison county, are utterly at variance. There is some talk of makinga grand jury investigation of the jury that acquitted Keith. If an investiigfation is to be made, let it start at Winchester, and then follow wher it will.
Cheer up; there were simply not enough jobs to gfb clear around. After all, holding a political job is about the worst calamity that can befall one. It is only to be hoped that Dr. Quick has secured good men for the various jobs. It is hard, in the f irst place, to get men to serve the public who are big enough for the places. A city is fortunate when good men are willingto take the cussings and small pay which go along with the jobs.
THANKSGIVING DAY Three hundred years have elapsed since the day those staunch Pilgrim Fathers in reverent gratitude held a season of thanks and prayer for the fruits of the first harvest. This small band of men and women knew the true meaning of privation and hardship, yet found much for which to be thankful and out of the fullness of their hearts gave all paise to God, Giver of all Good Gifts. They brought a lesson to generation after generation and no year passes, but what the president of this greatest of all nations issues a proclamation calling for a day to be set aside to consider and give thanks for blessings bestowed daily and for the many blessings which have been coming down through the centuries since that Thanksgiving Day of 300 years ago. The Thanksgiving Day is not purely an American custom however. Christian Europe observed a Thanksgiving Day for centuries before its observance in New England. In old Egypt after the harvest was gathered a day of feasting was observed and offerings laid on the altar of Isis, the goddess of agriculture. Other countries held similar holidays and observances. However, the example of the Pilgrim Fathers has been followed in America through three centuries and as year after year passes people are just as glad and give thanks with a reverent spirit as did those men and women who were grateful under such different circumstances. Thanksgiving is no empty form. To know its full meaning there must
INCOME IS TRIPLED In urging the boys of the farm to secure a college education Dean Vivian of the Ohio State College of Agriculture says: “Ask yourself whether the certainty and solidity of farming is not worth considering and get your education through this period of depression when your time is worth least, making ready for the next period of prosperity, which I firmly believe is not far off.” This seems good advice to the farmer boy and well worth considering. Dean Vivian gives data to prove that the training received through some educational institution triples the income. This is true in other walks of life and the farm should be no exception. The farmer himself realizes this more each year and every modern farmer is anxious for his boy to receive a good education and as a general rule along educational lines. Dean Vivian’s suggestion that now is a good time to start seems a timely one.
LIGHT AND SHADOWS What pleasure is there in being surrounded by pitchy blackness, the depth of which is inconceivable, where everything is as nothing and sights is of no avail? But, should the heavens part, if only for a moment, and shoot a ragged streak of lightning through the jetty darkness, the monotony is broken. Interest is aroused. What comfort is there in being in the midst of a desert of scorching, blinding sand, with the sun beating unmercifully upon the tender skin, burning the very brain? But. let a widespread leafy tree appear and instantly there is relief and comfort. The soft shade affords a friendly retreat. So, a life of unending gloom, without one ray of sunshine, without one spark of joy, is unbearable, unendurable; and a life that offers no trouble, no cares, no worries, if there is such a one, is empty, desolate and unsympathetic. The unbending law of the universe demands that light and shadows must intermingle. How, indeed, would we know happiness, if we did not know misery, or misery, if we did not know happiness? How could we realize we are going right, if we did not fail sometimes? How could we enjoy the goal, if we did not have to strive for it? No classic was ever written entirely in the treble clef. The bass is necessary to give strength and depth. No masterpiece was ever painted with only high lights. A good portion of the canvass is always dull blackness. No satisfactory life was ever lived that knew only gaiety and serenity. It must have felt the throb of the great human heart, and the cry of the forsaken, and listened to the sob of the crushed. Do not run from the shadows—but learn from them.—Ada Taylor in The Thrift Magazine.
U. S. DELEGATES TO FORMULATE ALL POLICIES AT CONFERENCE — * '
American “Big Four” Have No Intention of Surrenderng to Naval Experts Making of Plans to Guide Them in Questions Pertaining to Armament Parley Washington—Secretary Hughes and his associates of the American delegation have no intention of surrendering to the naval experts the formulation of any policies to guide American action in naval or other questions pertaining to the armament conference. It was made plain that the function of the experts was strictly that of developing facts. Determination of policies upon those facts is the reserved right of the civilians who make up the American delegation. Emphasis in this connection was laid on the undesirability of diverting attention from the main issue of the American naval proposals, the capital ship ratio plan. All questions of proportions of auxiliary craft, the place of submarines in the scheme of curtailment and similar items are looked upon by the American delegation as of secondary im"'""tance. For this reason the American attitude of resolute adherence to the “five-five-three ratio” of the American capital ship plan has been emphasized. It is this main issue which is still to be met together with the ten-year building holiday and a substantial immediate reduction in tonnage already afloat. The announced intention of the Japanese delegation to seek an alteration of the ratio, however, is the only known stumbling block to this first vital agreement so far as can be seen.
Ohio Grange Expects Record Membership
Probably Will Take Place as Largest State Farm Organization in Nation
When director of agriculture drops the gavel on the table at Music Hall, Cincinnati, Dec. 13, he will, as state master, call to order the second largvest Grange in the United States. Not long after the final gavel sounds on the evening of Dec. 15, and the Grangers have gone home, the Ohio organization, it is believed by its members, will show the largest membership of all. The Ohio membership now, according' to its reports, is 108,000. Enthusiastic members believe that within a short time after the convention the 12,000 lead of the Empire state will have been overcome. It is expected, state officers say, Taber will point out the high degree that the address of State Master of harmony and co-operation existing in Ohio among farmer organizations, and between those organizations and the agricultural college and extension service at Ohio State University. Mr. Taber is on record as sayingt that the great growth recently made by the Grange is largely due to the development of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation, and that the development of the Federation to a membership of 100,000, can be traceable in very great degree to the suc-
cess and growth of the Grange. Further, that the commendable spirit of co-operation shown by the extension service and county agents has had much to do with the success of both the Grange and Farm Bureau. Mrs. Harriet Dixsc.. is junior organized for Ohio. .it,. i PASSES MATERNITY BILL

“BOBBED HAIR” IN STYLE IN EGYPT 3,000 YEARS AGO
Alexandria—Women who believe the custom of bobbing the hair is something new have only to look at Egyptian sarcophage to find their error. Short hair, concealed ears and short skirts were in vogue more than 3,000 years ago, Egyptologists say, and they declare that the desigm on sarcophagi encasing the mummy of every Egyptian princess proves their assertion.
