His seed shall be mighty upon the earth; the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Psalms 112:2. The Editor: His Duty NORTHCLIFFE, the man who. saved England, is dead. With his going passes from the scene one of the really great editors of all time. It is not an exaggeration to say he risked all—his fortune, his liberty and hi3 life—to serve the public. Os these, Fate chose to ask of him only his life. Northcliffe as surely gave his life for his country as any soldier killed in a charge. Early in the great war, Prussia had her heel on the allies’ neck. One more telling blow and the Kaiser would he master of the world. Over in France Britain’s “contemptible little army”—as the Germans called the British in those days—was fighting with its back to the wall. And it was fighting a losing battle. British troops lacked munitions. What munitions they were receiving were not of the right sort. Someone was blundering. Back in England the home-folks were in total ignorance of the true state of affairs. The empire’s greatest soldier, Kitchener of Khartum and Aspall, hero of the Sudan, was in charge. All must be well. Imagine England’s consternation, then, when Northcliffe, realizing the situation, suddenly tore into the war managers and war management. He told how the flower of Britain was being sacrificed in Flanders to wornout ideas and incompetency at home. At first England gasped. Then, indignant, it struck back at Northcliffe. England would not have her idols torn from their pedestals, her heroes maligned, her household gods destroyed. They burned Northcliffe’s London Times in the public streets, in the great exchange. They hanged Northcliffe in effigy. They called him traitor. They said he was pro-German. They accused him of giving encouragement to the enemy. Some urged he be put in prison. That Northcliffe went through all the tortures of the damned cannot be doubted. Not because those whom he 6ought to serve despised him, nor yet because of the danger he was running. What kept his nerves taut as harp strings was the horrible fear that he might not wake np his country in time. Time, the great revealer, proved Northcliffe right. The King made him a viscount for his service. But the great strain hit home, and finally he fell, one of the real heroes of the war. Though Northcliffe is dead his spirit, we hope and believe, will never die. Nothing cuts so keenly as being reviled by those one would serve, but the editor with the divine spark, like North-: cliffe, will allow nothing to turn him from his purpose. American Industry vs. American Citizenship GOODING, Idaho, has urged a high tariff on wool. ; of which he is a producer, on the ground it is necessary for American production to meet unfair foreign competition. He has spoken with great emphasis of the first duty of America to American industries in the several speeches he has made since the Fordney-McCnmber tariff bill has been under discussion in the Senate. He has expressed his impatience with Senators who differed from him and voted, as he termed it, in behalf of the foreign rather than the American producer. Gooding was born in England and once was a State Senator in Indiana. Article 3, Section 6, of the constitution of that State provides No person shall be a Senator or Representative who at the time of his election is not a citizen of the United States. Perhaps Gooding did not know of this provision in the State constitution. Anyhow, he served—an alien—a term in an Ameri- i can State Legislature. In 1904 he became a candidate for Governor and was elected in November. Somebody discovered Article 4, Section 6 of the State constitution, applying to State officers, which sayss In addition to the qualifications described above each of the officers named shall be a citizen of the United States. Gooding was in hot water. So he went into the Federal district court Dec. 30, a few days before his inauguration, and took' out American citizenship papers. This is shown by Records 73 of the court. His appeal for the American producer will no longer be heard with the same sympathy, now that it is known how he became an American citizen.

PUBLIC DEMAPS HARDING EXPLAIN STRIKEDILEMMA Congressmen Return Filled With Hopes of Immediate Settlement. WALLACE DEFENDS FARMER Claims Agriculturists Have Suffered Most and Said the Least. By ROBERT J. BENDER United New* Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.—President Harding has been urged by his political advisors to make a full report to Congress and the people on the exact status of the great mine and rail strikes, the measures taken to end them, why these steps proved futile and what is the contemplated course of the Government now. Members of the House, returning to resume business yesterday, focused attention of the industrial world upon Congress. First, they believe a full accounting must be made to the farm ers and others "back home" who are suffering more and more from the strikes. Wallace Pleads for Farmers Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, during the course of a talk before the Farm Bureau at Leesburg. Va_, Monday, echoed the concern manifested now in Republican political quarters over reports of House members. Giving statistics to show that while wage earners were getting more than before the war and the purchase value of the dollar is greater than be fore the w r ar, the farmer is making less today than before the wax. "In short," said Wallace, "the farmers of the country, numbering almost one-third of our entire population, have borne altogether the heaviest burden of deflation. They have endeavored to get relief by all lawful means, but while making these efforts to avoid their heavy losses they have not struck. They have grown this year one of the largest crops in our entire history. “Now the farmer demands that both the owners of the coal mines and the coal mmers recognize their equal obligation to produce coal, and he demands that the management of the railroads and the railroad workmen recognize also their equal obligation to keep trains moving, for unless the food he produces is moved promptly to market, the people will starve. Believe In Fairness "If the various groups in this coun- j try are determined to prey upon one j another and abandon law and order j for strong arm methods, the farmer can take care of himself. He can re- j duce his production to his own needs, j He can follow the example of some others and refuse to sell what he produces. But he does not believe in that sort of thing.

"The farmer calls upon capital and ! labor to cease their petty bickerings : and resume production, trusting to \ American institutions and the Amer- j i lean sense of fair play to see that j Justice is done t.o both of them.” Members of the House have just ! heard this call of the farmer, personally and sharply. Crops rotting I 1 through lack of transportation fa- j cllities only adds to losses the farm ! ers have suffered through low prices. They want an accounting. -The President has been the directing head tn the strike settlement negotiations for weeks. What has he done, who is to blame for the failure and what does he propose to do now? are questions House members are asking.

British Look With Humiliation At Outright Disposal of Titles

Ru \tn.TOX BROW SR LONDON, Aug. 16.—" Ah, good j morning, sir, would you like a nice ; new handle to your name? We have t some nice new fresh knighthoods, : baronetcies and Deerages, bright and j clean from the factory and going ; cheap this week." And the salesman hands you this! price list; Knighthood ....... $ 60,000 Baronetcy 200,000 Baron 400,000 Viscount 450,000 Earl 600,000 Marquis 600,000 It doesn't happen just like that but conservative Britons view the present wholesale selling of titles in that j light. Fuss Kicked Fp The latest fuss has been kicked up i over a list of knighthoods and peerages handed out last June on the occasion of the king’s birthday. Some of the recipients were accused of being war profiteers. The old tale about sale of honors was whispered about. It has long been believed, "no matter which party was in power, that the surest way for a rich man to get a handle to his name was to pour money Into the political campaign chest of the party running the Government. However, It remained for the Duke of Northumberland, a Tory of the Tories and the greatest coal mine owner in Britain, to come down to actual figures. In a recent speech in the House of Lords he spoke of letters he had seen In which men specifically mentioned that for £IO,OOO to £12,000 they could obtain a knighthood for an aspirant, while baronetcies cost from £35.000 to £40,000. The Duke didn't say specifically whether he really believed or disbelieved these statements. Lords Discredited The whole thing has served still further to discredit the already much IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You remember that etiquette demands good sportsmanship. This means you must be a gracious winner as well as a good loser. A person who can win without boasting Is as rare as one who can lose without explaining how it happened or without showing temper.

Metropolitan Economist Urges Idea of Creditors' Commission for Europe

By NEA Servioe NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—What should the United States do about bankrupt continental Europe? Anew and novel answer to the question, comparing the world situation to that of an individual debtor whose affairs are taken over by a creditors' committee, has been given by Dr. B. M. Anderson, Jr., economist of the Chase National Bank. Europe's financial problem is one of the chief topics before the Institute of Politics, now in Bession ' fit Williamstown, Mass., and Dr. Anderson is one of the four chairmen of its conference on European Rehabilitation. He spoke at the opening of the conference and will preside at the two final sessions. "During the crisis through which we have Just passed," Dr. Anderson said, "we have perfected institution of the creditors' committee as a substitute for the drastic processes of the bankruptcy court. •“The creditors of An embarrassed debtor get together; they work out a plan by which his affairs can be straightened out.

“Since it is obviously impossible for continental belligerents to resume gold payments at the pre-war parities, new and much lower gold pars should be established at which resumption of specie payments can be speedily begun and certainly maintained.

It is necessary, too, to become virtually a vegetarian if you have Bright's disease. The excess of proteins in meat places a heavy strain on the kidneys.

AUSTRIA PLEADS FOB OUTSIDE fill AffIjTFIINE Minister Points Out Dangers oi National Collapse if Unassisted. EXHAUST ALL REMEDIES Government Leaders Import Fuel, Food and Supplies Without Avail. By United News VIENNA, Aug. 16. —Austria, once numbered among the most powerful nations of the world, will lose its very identity unless granted an immediate external loan, Foreign Minister Grun- • berger declared Monday. Interviewed in the famous castle room built in Marie Theresa's regn, where in former days conference* were held knitting together the huge | Austrian empire, Grunberger pleaded for $50,000,000 which he said would place the nation back on its feet economically. “Without help,” he said, "Austria will be swallowed up by a greater power. With help, she can mak#%er fao-* tories hum and again be a contributing factor to civilization. "Austria exists as a nation now only because of its belief that the Interest shown by the Americans and Europe may blossom Into financial relief. The world surely knows It cannot afford to lose Vienna as the hub of art, and that her paintings, tapestries, specialized industries and universities should be preserved. Praises Hoover Relief “We have already received much welcome assistance from the outside world, especially through relief agencies established by Argentine and the United States. Herbert Hoover's commission furnished thousands of our starving children with hot meal* during the winter of 1920.” Austria’s plight is due to the fact that she is not a self-sustaining body, Grunberger said. "We have tried every known effort to remedy our situation,” he explained, “but the treaty of St. Germain cut the Austrian empire to piece*, leaving what can not be called an economio unit. Ninety per cent of our natural resources were taken from us, and our food harvest hardly covers our needs for four months in the year. "Asa result, we are compelled to import food for 7,000,000 of people eight months annually. Coal Supply Weakens "With other necessities it is the same story. We have little coal and must import fuel from Upper Silesia and Czecho-Slovakia We must buy our meat and potatoes from outside nations.” “The only solution is by a foreign loan to tide us over the period of reconstruction of our industries,” he said. "We think we are entitled to such a loan because the allies accompanied the signing of the St. Germain treaty with the issuance of a note promising aid. Taking this in good faith, we recently addressed a note to the powers asking for the promised help." Grunberger pointed to the "Bolshevik menace” as threatening Austria in case conditions grow much worse. LEARN A WORD TODAY Today's word is—MUNDANE. It's pronounced—mun-dane, with accent on the first syllable. It means— of or pertaining to the world; worldly. It comes from—Latin, “mundus,” the world. It's used 'ike this—" The star Antares. 400,000,000 miles in diameter, is the largest of heavenly bodies yet measured by mundane astronomers."
