■GH COST IS UPPERMOST IN W THE U. S. MIND London Times Man Finds Chief Cause for Concern in This Country. HAS FAITH IN GENIUS LONDON, Jnly 29 —the high cost of livipjj in the tilted States, the mania for automobiles, the high price of labor, the whirlpool of Juggled millions of dollars in all activities of life, and prohibition are discussed to the extent of nine columns in the London Times "American number.” But the London Times correspondent found that the 11. C. L. took precedence even over the presidential election. His conclusions were: "But one may be distress 'j, as Americans are distressed, at the extreme dis. traction and confusion of thought and aim and the —as it seems—truly terrible extravagance and costliness of life which can not, one fears, continue without catastrophe, but for which no remedy yet appears in sight. I.LECTION MAY PROVE MEDICINAL. “For the first of these two things it is probable that the presidential election, though fcr the moment only -adding to the chaos, may prove medicinal, by compelling the people to divide more or less Into two equal camps and to focns their attention on some few cardinal questions. “For the latter one can only trust to American genius. “Measured by all precedent the present scale of living would seem to be,' for any length of time, simply Intolerable. “How it can be altered without a heavy scaling down of the wages of labor It is not easy to see; nor how that scaling can be attained without such a previous industrial crisis as will cause widespread unemployment. PRECEDENTS COUNT FOR LITTLE. “But precedents have a way of governing little in America. “lt may be that the people will somehow not only tolerate the intolerable, but will turn it to such account that society will settle down to hitherto unheard of conditions as peacefully as and with greater comfort to the masses than ever before. "The economic progress of the United States has, in any case, always been paroxysmal, periods of intense growth alternating with panics and fits of abysmal depression. “After each setback, however severe, tSt* country never has failed to go on more triumphantly than ever. “There are new and disturbing factors In the problem today, It is true. “The United States can not solve Its own difficulties in a vacuum. “And the Immense proportion of undigested, or partially digested, elements Os foreign populations seem to expose the country peculiarly to infection by the disease of unrest which Is working in all the world. ANGLO-SAXON INFLUENCE. “Nothing in American life, however, has •)eei more remarkable in the past than the completness with which the old An-glo-Saxon core of the nation has succeeded in Imposing its character on and dominating the whole people. “It is natural that an Englishman should see in its continued dominance tne best assurance of the safety of the country. and there is certainly nothing yet to show that the core has lost anything of Its vigor or is likely to be any less able than heretofore to hold the people steady. “No; the United States Is vary worried tibout itself at the moment; and it may well be, for Us pulse is alarmingly fast. ‘But the mere fact that It Is alarmed, and therefore on the alert, is much; and no one who knows the people wilt haTe any doubt that, whatever the immediate complications may be, the nation will come through more aboundingly vital than ever."

‘BABY KISSING’ ISN’T HER STYLE Lady Greenwood Would Get Votes in Mannish Way. LONDON, July 29 Lady Greenwood, wife of the new chief secretary for Ireland, would run an "Intimate” campaign, If, as has been suggested, she wire to cnotest a seat for parliament, but it would not be a “baby-kissing” campaign. At a time when the franchise is being widely extended in Britain and the politicians of America are studying the problem of the woman vote as they have never done before, the question “how to get the woman vote” is of unprecedented political Importance. / As the English wife of one of the foremost Canadian born politicians in England. and as a seasoned campaigner in aid of her hdsband. Lady Greenwood speaks with conviction on the subject of vote-getting methods. “tVere I contesting a seat today,” she said, “canvassing would play a slight

B old determination without economy,is worthless as a summer breeze'.

part in my plans. I should concentrate on outdoor meetings. “I should arrange to meet the men and talk to them at the lunch hour. “1 should ask the women to come and bear my views in the afternoon when the housework was finished and the children in school. "Those who are not able to attend meetings I should visit in their homes—not to gossip on irrelevant subjects, but to discuss seriously the problems of the day.' “Much more is expected of a woman candidate than of a man. The women to whom she appeals for votes expect little attentions which men could be forgiven for overlooking. “Parents sometimes like to talk of how their children are getting ou In school. I have been asked more than ouce about my own children. “But on such occasions there is a limit beyond which one need not go. “One need not, for instance, pick up a child that happens to be running about and kiss it. “Mothers would regard such an action as an affectation and would afterward discuss among themselves ‘what some folks will do to get a vote.’

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 30, 1920.

“The men, I find, are In deadly earnest and have well conceived views on all the vital questions of the day. “The women are more concerned about their general welfare than about a candidate’s views of their children. “They have a keener interest in politics than meu ever give credit for. “Housing, food prices, and the prices ■ of all commodities are problems which j affect them more deeply than anything else, and a satisfactory answer to such questions is more convincing than a kiss on a baby’s cheek. “I should certainly pay more attention to principles of economics than to gossip about the personal affairs of voters. “I do believe, however, that it a district were asked to choose between two women of equal intelligence, personality, charm and general appearance would have a strong advantage.” HAPPENS ONLY IN STORIES. GRAND JUNCTION, Colo., July 30.
