Buying an Empire A"vNE million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the loan to Liberia will go to bankers in New York.” So says Senator Borah. The Harding Administration, which came in on a protest against foreign entanglements, is getting us entangled in the Old World. We are buying an empire, year by year. Buying it mainly not for the people of the United States, but so that our millionaires make money out of it. It is well to take stock of it. Liberia in Africa now conies under American suzerainty. We shall control Liberia through our control of her finances. Oyr colonies are Hawaii, the Virgin Islands, Porto Rico and the Philippines. We do not conceal our rule over them. We control Haiti, Santo Domingo and Panama. We dominate Nicaragua—to hold another canal route —and have turned over her finances to American bankers. More pickings for our financiers. We intervene in the government- of Cuba—dictate her internal legislation. Bolivia, the third country in size in South America, has yielded control of her revenues to a commission of three, two of whom are Americans, and American bankers have just made her a loan of $24,000,000. And there are railway concessions, oil, mines and great richness there. To these items add that Paraguay and Peru have financial advisers recommended by our Department of State. Bea big brother to them? Yes. But we are now on every oke of the five continents or their islands except Europe, and the course of empire smells strongly of the dollar. We may well lift a skeptical eyebrow when we hear Administration leaders like the little Senator Lodge declaring against “foreign entanglements.” When it comes to doing our plaivi moral duty as the natural leader among nations, men of his caliber are ready to faint. But they are there with the bells on when they hear the call of the dollar, and the bugaboo of “foreign entanglements” melts away to a little less than nothing. , rl / The Two Tom Watsons ww rl’vjf the going of Tom Watson of Georgia not one, but two jV men —an ordinary man and a genius—took passage to the beyond. > To most of us Tom Watson was only a United .States Senator, iconoclast, politician; passionate, hair-triggered opponent of all “regulars,” in politics and out; a man of violent speech and threatening gesture, socialisticallv inclined and “agin” most all that’s orthodox. ; That, indeed, was one Tom Watson. The other was the scholar, the litterateur, author of “The Story of France” and “The Life of Napoleon”—two wonderful books—and other works. He was one of the very first men of English letters to take bone-dry history and make it sins?; a writer who could take sleep-producing fact and weave it into a history as fascinating as a novel and as difficult to lay aside in the small hours of the morning. Watson, the writer, will go down in history. Watson, the statesman, will soon be forgotten. But, after all, Watson’s fling at politics was but a minor incident in an artist’s life, anekhis hot shots at conventional people •and things but the froth of his real soul.

Normal Unemployment U' MPLOYMENT in the country,” says a business bulletin ■L' for late September, “has become practically normal. About this time last year it was estimated that approximately 5,500,000 workers were out of employment. Today it is estimated that only 1,500,000 are without jobs.” So it is NORMAL for 1,500,000 wage-earners to be workless in this country of fabulous riehes. Estimating only three to the family such normalcy means 4,500,000 people who FORMALLY have no income, who are destitute or living precariously. It won’t do. There’s certain to be altogether too much discontent in a bloc of a million and a half idle, gloomy men and several million more undernourished, ill-clothed women and children. Let us strive to strike off one nought, anywav, in that 1,500,000. * / / Frog That a Bull Would Be A bullfrog once tried to swell up until he was big as a bull. He exploded long before his ambition was achieved. The Greek King Constantine attempted something similar. He tried to swallow Turkey in Asia, and most everything else that wasn’t nailed down, to make himself “big.” And he met the fate of the frog. Constantine’s abdication is just one of the fragments of the explosion. Many other fragments are still in the air. When they come down there may be other broken crowns. What Makes an Indian? \\7HY - is an Indian? *7 Two American hunters just back from the Cassiars, the range of mountains that form a fence between British Columbia and Alaska, discovered a day out on the march through this region inhabited almost solely by bears, wolves, mountain lions and caribou, that they had forgotten matches. Johnny Quash, aged 12, was thereupon sent back by his Indian uncle, one of the guides, to buy a few boxes and trail back after the party. The hunters proceeded over a trackless country, up mountains and down, through forest and muskeg and winding valleys. At midnight on the third day, Johnny, 12, hatless, unarmed and 'alone, walked into camp with the matches. Before daylight be started back for home, alone. Reckon that’s what makes an Indian.

REPUBLICANS WILL RENEW ABACK ON WOODROWWILSON Campaign Speakers Accept Challenge on Government Cost and Foreign Policy. Bu CLAYTON WHITEHILL United News Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.—Republican campaign speakers, will devote themselves between now and election, tc accepting the challenge of the Dmocrats that the administration party is responsible for high living costs and for the extravagant management of government. Furthermore, they are raising the issue of foreign relations which the Democrats are studiously avoiding, end they are reviving the attack on ex-President Wilson particularly regarding the treaty of Versailles. The tariff, according to the Republicans, “Gives employment, and prosperity to millions of men and women engaged in manufactures, agriculture and mining, at the highest compensation in the world, and gives them also the returns with which to buy from each other. There is no truth in the free tr;yle argument that the enactment of a protective tariff will invite retaliation by other nations. It is untrue because practically every other nation has already enacted a protective tariff which levies duties against the United States.’ • No' Answer to Tariff No attempt is made to answer the detailed figures of the Democrats to show how the Fordney-MeOumber tariff increases the cost of staple articles. Therefore, it would seem, the Republican campaign, so far as tariff is concerned, will be largely a defense of the theory of protection. In contrast with the policy of “waste, extravagance and graft” of the Wilson Administration the Republicans point out that the first regular session of the present Republican Congress appropriated $3,745,0.00,000, or $2,710,000,000 less for the year's maintenance of the Government than was appropriated by the last Democratic Congress. It is further pointed out that through the operation of the executive budget system—under which annual expenditures are said to have been reduced a billion dollars —it has been possible to reduce taxes a billi >n dollars a year, and despite shrinking revenues, to reduce the national debt by a billion dollars during a single year, and “since the Republican control of Congress came in 1913, t.he public debt has been reduced by three billions.”

TIBET English explorers and scientists, organized in an expedition take up the problem that has baffled man for centuries—penetrating all of the interior of Tibet. Missionary Shelton of San Francisco was the last foreigner allowed to visit this mysterious country north of India. The expedition, if successful, will bring back strange tales. A Tibetan woman usually becomes the wife of all the brothers of her husband. The dead are fed to vultures. Tibetans say they are descended from a uhe devil who married an ape. A country like that is fascinating—at a distance. RADIO Radio will not menace the telegraph and telephone, predicts B. E. Sunny, official of Illinois Bell Telephone Company. There has been a lot of speculation along this line. But Sunny’s notion sounds sensible—that radio will develop abreast of the phone and telegraph, not by crowding them out. When the auto came in, many feared that the horse would vanish. Now we know that each has its permanent field, room for both. SLANG The season at Atlantic City has yielded several gems of slang: "Undertow” is bootleg gin. “Shark bait is cabaret hooch. “Go-getter” is a seaplane that connects shore with the three-mile limit. “Beachcomber is the fellow who strikes up an acquaintance with a “weakfisli ” girl flirt.

BON VOYAGE By bertos rraeev GOOD-BY, old friend. You needn't look astounded And ask me why I speak In accents glum. My sorrow is exceedingly well-founded. Things will be altered in the days to come.

GOOD-BY, old friend; no, I'm not jealous of you, I didn’t want to win her for myself; I’m glad you’ve got so nice a girl to love you— Better true love than heaps of golden pelf. But this I know, I’ve lost my pal foreve.r No matter how intensively you deny, Friendship we'll keep, but comradeship—ah, never; Old chum, good-by! YOUR friends are hers, she says? I do not doubt it, She means it, too, I know; but none the less, A wife’s a wife, there’s no two ways about it, And though she’ll want to aid your happiness, Somehow she’ll never look at me as you do. She’ll change you too, for that’s a woman’s trend, Marriage, you know, in chum-ship’s certain hoodoo. Good-by, old frienfi! 'Copyright, 1922, NEA Service)

TIGER OF FRANCE BRA VES FOES TO PLEAD CA USE IN AMERICA

Note: Georgres Clemenceau. the big-gretft man of France and one of the three or four really rreat men now living:, is coming to the United States in November. When he land**, the interest and enthusiasm of Americans all over the country is sroingr to be kindled by the spectacle or the picturesque octogenarian who has come overseas alone, braving: the attacks of his foen at home to plead the cause of his country. Flocks of reporters will follow him everywhere. NEA Sendee sent Milton Bronner, Us London bureau manager, to spend a day with Clemenceau at nis home near St. Vincent-Rur-Jard. France. And here Bronner fives you a complete exclusive interview with an excellent pen picture of “The Tigrer” t home. By MILTON BRONNER ST. VINCENT SUR JARD, France, Oct. 2.—" France escaped murder. Slhe will not now commit suicide.” In this epigTam Georges Clemenceau, France’s grand old man and one of the few really great men now living, summed up for me French history since 1914. He meant, of course, that his beloved country had escaped the murder Germany planned for her, arid that if France still maintained an adequate army, it was because to disarm at present would be to invite German revenge—in other words, suicide for France. "France is not imperialist, not militarist.” ho said. "France is not a nation of fools and only fools would want to burden their country with militarism. I am going to America in November to tell America so. "I shall present no apolbgy. France needs none! “1 shall present no defense. France requires none! “I shall ask nothing for France. “I shall present the facts about uErope and let Americans draw their own conclusions and determine whether they should do anything, and what they should do. “It may necessitate plain talk.” The old man smiled grimly. “I have ever had the reputation of speaking my mind. But I shall speak in simple and friendly terms—simply, because the Americans like what you call straight talk; friendly, because I feel your country is fundamentally friendly to mine. “I have not prepared and am not going to prepare any written speeches I have all the necessary facts in my head and will stick to a few leading propositions. “I will not discuss the policies of President Poincare, nor the matters of reparations and interallied debts. Will Discuss Treaty “I will eertalnly discuss the treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations, the condition of Europe and the respective attitudes of France, England and America. “I believe in the continued unity of the allies. They served together In the war whose primary object was to secure peace. But peace Is not really firmly established and we can only win peace as we won the war—by unity. To fail In the peace, to face another general conflict would be to face the dark chapter of inevitable ruin for modern civilization. Clemenceau received me in his little home on the seashore. It is bare.ly fifty feet away from the surf. Probably no other great actor In the world war and peace drama dwells

Borah Sponsors Campaign for Liberation of Political Prisoners

I'nitfi V, j-/ CHICAGO. Ocj, 2.—Senator Borah of Idaho arrived here Friday for two days of speechmaking, during which he will take part in mapping out a nation-wide campaign for the liberation of political prisoners which will be carried out in the fall election contests. * The Senator outlined his views on some of the issues ho is expected to take up here in an interview. “I never knew a raid on the Treasury that failed yet,” he said, when asked whether or not a bonus bill would eventually be passed. "I voted against the bonus partly because no provision was made for paying it, but chiefly on principle. I suppose eventually some plan will be worked out UNUSUAL FOLK By .V EA Srrvic9 ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 2.—Georgia has elected n blind man to its public servico commission. This adds another to the list of' physically handlcapped citizens who [ have been elevated ||pv ‘ to high political BLf positions by the IP r voters of this State. SI N. Walter McDonald, J \ j blind, won the comkV mission election. He . \ '*a has long been one *■ \ ts of Augusta's most 'V \ ii brilliant lawyers.

In addition to these men. AVilliam I> Upshaw was re-elected congressman this fall, despite the fact that he has been forced to use crutches for years.

GEORGES CLEMENCEAU.

WHO “THE TIGER” IS GEORGES CLEMENCEAU embodied the spirit of undefeatable -France when he became prime minister and minister of war in the dark days of 1917 when the defeatist policy had begun to undermine the French morale. His refusal to consider any peace other than % surrender of Germany, his iron determination that Germany be punished to the limit, his ruthless insistence on the terms of the Treaty of Versailles made him devoted friends and bitter enemies. His sardonic humor brought him the title of “The Tiger” in his long political career which began when he returned to Paris in 1869 after four years’ residence in America. He was a member of the Chamber of Deputies from 1876-1893. In 1902 he returned to politics, was again elected to the Chamber and became prime minister 1906-1909.

The etudy has some book-laden shelve*, an old work table, a few comfortable chairs and a fireplace, in which, when I was there, some fresh cut logs were fragrantly burning.

Dressed .Shabbily When he received me ho was clothed in a rusty old brown suit and was wearing brown leather gaiters. On his head was a battered old hat and on his hands were the

which will make the masses pay the bonus.” Asked about Governmental extravagance. Borah said: “You can say anything you want against or about Governmental ex travaganoe and attribute it to me.” The Senator said he still believed that the United States should recognize the present Russian government. "The Near East situation is the in evitable result of the militaristic policy of France in Syria and the British policy in Mesopotamia,” Borah declared. "The United States should stay out of the Near East politically.” Borah's principal speech will be made at a big mass meeting in behalf of the liberation of political prisoners at the Auditorium on Bunday, which is being promoted by leading Chicago liberals. CONTUSIONS By DR. R. H. BISHOP 1 CONTUSION is a TjJßgk j blow to any part I of the body withI out the piercing fflr of the skin. Some M contusions are of a slight importance, others ar*> serious. The little boy \ I who falls down ZZLJ stairs and bumps J his head has a / sL. contusion. It turns black and blue because the force of the blow broke blood vessels beneath the skin. If, however, it is a severe contusion of the legs, parts protected by a great deal of muscle, you will not get the results just mentioned, so far as outward appearance is concerned. Bruises, however, develop and become black and blue later on. A person may accidentally be hit in the leg and go on for several weeks and consider the injury as nothing very serious. But such a person may die because the small blood vessels, not the big ones, got broken and formed a hematoid condition, an infection of the blood. You may have seen- someone who has injured his finger by a hard blow. And later you may see the same person without that particular finger or finger tip. The injury may develop a felon, not so large at first, but with later serious effects. In the case of a contusion to the head, there may be a. severe jar or partially broken bone. Semi-con-sciousness or unconsciousness sometimes follows. If you are aware of having had a blow of some kind, though no serious results immediately followed, don’t neglect it until too late.

famous gray gloves which have become part of the modern history of France. The Tiger neither bit nor snarled. He was most delightful, most human. His gray eyes danced with the true dance of youth. His smile revealed a great number of sound teeth and they were not store teeth, either. The only time I saw anything of the grim Clemenceau was when I asked him to write and sign a brief message to --the American people, which we could reproduce. “No, no. no!” he growled. “No!

If I ever started that, there would be no end to it.” Then he smiled impishly: "Ask me for nothing and you will get it.” "Get what?” I asked. “Nothing!” He told me his plans for the trip to America: “I shall sail in November accompanied only by my man servant, who knows my ways, my tastes and desires. Many close friends have urged me to let them accompany me, but I have declined. I am going to take the advice cf American friends as to where I shall speak. I will talk in New York and Chicago. That much I have decided. Boston, may be, because Boston is still an American moral metropolis. Cities I have in mind are Washington, Cleveland and St. Louis, but nothing is definite, except that I do not intend to go farther west than Chicago. I want no banquets, no big formal dinners. My tour is to be a very plain, businessdike affair. I shall try to lead a3 simple a life as I do here. "While in America I expect to call upon President Harding, my old friend Pershing, and, of course, Wilson.” "Tiger Won’t Apologize I asked him what he did, waking up at quarter to three in the morning. “Oh, I read some, and write a good deal more. An autobiography? No, indeed! Retired statesmen who write their memoirs usually defend themselves and apologize for their policies. I intend to do neither. Pouff for my critics!” And with that he whistled down the wind the Parisian editors who are now once more bitterly saying he has no business to go to America. Rents "Estate” “How much of this little estate belongs to me? Not an inch, and that’s the beauty of it. I pay the French government 150 francs a year for that bit of seashore. I pay the owner of the house another 150 francs. And to a woman who owns a narrow strip of garden that I use. I pay the enormous sum of one franc annually. Now if I live to be 200 or 300, they will have, made a very bad bargain with me.” As I said good-by to him, Clemenceau • mused aloud: “It will be a very strange experience coming back to America. I left it in 1869—fifty-three years ago. And just the other day I celebrated my eighty-first birthday and hardly anybody knew it. “1 used to live in Seventh St., New York. I suppose it is all skyscrapers now. But I daresay there is one thing I will recognize—the Hudson River.” I said to him—“ There is another American feature you undoubtedly will recognize. You will be met in New York by about 200 newspaper men.” "Heaven help them.” said the old man smiling. "I won’t.” —Copyright. 1522. NEA Service.

FINANCIAL HOPE OF FARMER lIS INLOMITS Thousands Face Because of Meet Paper Fallin ? )ue. By RODNEY t'MCHEK United Neici Staff-'iff respondent CHICAGO. Oct.

IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You know it is more important to choose your guests wisely for a small dinner than for a large one. When entertaining only six or eight guests the conversation must be general and the guests, if they are not already friends, should at least have congenial tastes. To include two persons at a small dinner who are known to be unfriendly to each other is decidedly rude to both. New Colors Green is becoming a popular color in millinery. It is particularly liked in the soft shades of moss or almond green. Rust shades are also popular, working into flame color. “Marron Glace” is the name of anew tint between the two.
