irs up nriIIE shell of America’s ' isolation is cracking. TO I Word comes from Washington that President HARDING JL Harding, at last genuinely scared over thè international situation, is planning to take a hand. And none too soon. Half thè people of our country are farmers, or live in farming communities. The rest of us are largely dependent upon them. Today thè farmer’s back is to thè wall. He gets less for his products than it costs to produce them. He faces stark ruin. What’s thè matter? Two things: One, deflation. The other, thè loss of his European market. Europe, until recently, was an eager buyer in our market. She absoroed our surplus. She was an espeeially lively bidder for our surplus raw materials. Now, Europe is shot to pieces. France and England are on thè verge of breaking. France is pressed for money and demands that Germany shall pay for thè war. England admits her inabilitv to meet her war obligations, as matters now stand. Germany is tottering. Europe is split up into dangerous, warring camps. So Europe can’t buv. And, if matters are allowed to drift, another world war, everywhere admitted as a practical certainty, may finish us off. Until recently, President Harding, swayed by Henry Cabot Lodge and other paucities of his party, stubbornly refused to believe thè European situation had anything to do with us, or vice versa. “Hands off!” was his motto. Now thè signs are he is beginning to see a light. Participation in thè reparations conference at Paris, scheduled to begin Jan. 2. is forecast. A loan to Germany on couditions making for world pence and European stability is suggested. An international conference to deal with war debts. reparations, armaments and other vital phases of thè existing world chaos is a possibility. • It is a step in thè right direction. Let’s keep going. The prosperity of thè people of this country and thè peace of thè world are at stake. Almost to a man, thè peoples of thè earth are turninar toward. America in a mightv appeal for leadership— moral as well as material. Will she tura a deaf ear? Mr. President. it’s ud to rour Administration. And History, pen poised, is waiting to write your answer. MISTLETOE "jJT'OUNG ladies, hanging mistletoe, may be V worried to know that this white-berried BAD LUCK P^ ant * s considered a bringer of bad luck in parts of Ireland and in Devonshire, England. Vergil, Roman poet, described one part of Hades as thè home of mistletoe. But few care about superstition, or anything else, where a kiss is concerned. WOMAN "11 MT AN is always thè pursued, woman thè purTHE Vi SU<?r ’ claims Prof - Ere< lerick H. Koch of thè PURSUER XfA. University of North Carolina. You must admit he has courage, flving in thè teeth of majoritv belief. \\ oman is thè boss of thè world. As soon as man learns that woman is thè leader, thè world will be better,” says Koch. U omen rule in small things. Men rule in big decisions. But usuallv some woman has a hand in making up a man’s raind. Why not rule togethcr, instead of eithor side pretending to be supreme ? BIG TASK IV T ,V CITY will have 25,000,000 inAHEAD FOR IVI iubitants in another hundred vears, and FARMERS X \ 15,000,000 by thè year 2222. So predici j John A. Ilarriss. Other cities also will pow. The population of Indianapolis today is seventeen tiraes ìts population of sixty years ago, while that of New York has increased <i\e times. But if our Iloosier capitai grows no faster than Harriss estimates for Gotham, there will be a million and a half Indianapolis residents in 2022 and two and a half millions when New York gets her 45,000,000. Feeding simh a mob is a delightful prcspeet for future farmers. The men who till thè soil already have about all they can hancìle in thè way of keeping city people alive. Will they stand for their burden being doubled. tripled. quad rupled. and so on indefinitely? Not unless an armv of Henry Fords gets into thè farming business.

Volstead May Be Named Head of Dry Forces By Times Special WASHINGTON, Dee. 19. The Volstead act is to be enforced by none other than Andrew Volstead hlmself! Politicai “dope” Is, that aster March 4, 1923, when Andrew J. Volstead, of Minnesota, retlres to private Use aster twenty years ln Congress, thè President will place him at thè head of thè prohibiiion enforcement dejartment, to succeed Roy Haynes, of Ohio. Haynes, according to inside Information, will not be left out in thè coki, but will be “kicked upstairs” Into a better job. The Harding Administration pìans this move In order to restore thè confidence of thè people in thè attempt lo enforce thè present prohibition laws. "If Volstead cannot enforce thè dry Inw he wrote, who can?” thè politicai leaders ask. The appointment of Volstead as prò hibitlon enforcement commissioner, plus Volstead’s astuteness as politicai rnanipulator, would place thè powerfui “dry” politicai machine at Hardìng’s disposai ln 1924.

I have never driven a car, but of all thè accidente that have occurred, I don't know of any machine running up on thè sldewaJk and kiiling anyone. If every one will walk on thè sidewalk and cross thè Street at thè corner, open their eyes and be rarefai and not depend on some one to look for them, it will help a lot. If a car runs up on thè sidewalk and hits me I want thè owner to pay me. There ls plenty of law; enforce it. E. C. RROWN, 1425 W. Ohio St.

Condemned Without Trial

BY HERBERT QUICK George Bernard Shaw condemns democracy! He givea it up. He sees only one way out, and he does not beliève ln that. This way ls govemment by men selected from panels, like Juries, from a preferred class of men flt to govern. “This ls thè best I can offer you,” sald he In a speech before thè London Society of Fabian Socialiste, "and I wish you joy of it!” Such a cry of despair from Shaw is no Binali matter. He Joined thè Fabian Society nearly forty years ago. and he has been a fighter for thè Fabian policy of democratic development ever since. It is as if Lincoln had despalred of freedom In '64. For i-haw has been a great figure ln thè fi-represslblo eonflict for better thlngs lor thè people. Yet. in his despair and disgust at thè results of thè recent elections in England, Shaw gives up. He says “Everybody ls tfred of democracy!” How have people becomes tired of democracy When and where has it been given a trial ? It has never been liied in England. It has never had a trial in America. To say that peonie have become tired of democracy ls no more logicai than to declare

that a man has become tired of food when his appetite rejects a diet of chips and whetstones! Universa! suffraga does not matte a democracy. Yet Shaw gives pp democracy because thè voterà of thè so-called democratic countries of thè world. bound in economie chains, cannot make democracy a success. Abo* lltion of sìavery and serfdom brought personal freedom, but not democracy. Religious freedom did not bring democracy. Politicai fredom did not bring democracy. And that is as far as we have gone. They are only steps toward giving democracy a trial The next step is economie freedom, under which wealth as it is produced will aulomatically fall into thè hands of thè produclng persons and groups according to thè rules of right and justice. ' Even economie freedom may not alone malte democracy immedlately successful. It may be that economie freedom may bave to be followed by a period of experiment and failure and educatlon. Mr. Shaw has lost faith ln educa.tlon, "because England has long been governed by educated men.” Buv were they not merely miseducated men?
