SILVER LINING IN THE GOLDEN RULE rTINCREASING production by boosting wages is not an Euto- | * ' pian dream but a proved economic principle. The only secret is the Golden Rule—which is as old as the Sermon on the Mount or the Ten Commandments. That’s the tip to business and industry given by Arthur ’‘Golden Rule” Nash, Cincinnati, in an address here this week. And Nash, who now is a millionaire as head of a tailoring factory, knows from practical experience Taking a “sweat shop” where old women and cripples toiled long hours for wages of $4 to $5 a day, Nash tripled wages, expecting in his idealism of the Golden Rule to go bankrupt within ten months. The story of how he tripled production and in less than four years has built up a business from $125,000 yearly to more than $5,000,000 is a remarkable tribute to the teachings of Christ, which have guided him, - he says. Living up to the Golden Rule will break down every prejudice. Nash’s workers have found a common cause in the brotherhood of man. Suspicion and lack of confidence between capital and labor is the cause of most unrest and industrial trouble, Nash declares. The fine thing about it is that his “theory” has proved to be a success. That is the big test. ONE PROVERB THEY’VE OVERLOOKED ISE philosophers who wrote those proverbs now fascinating W readers of The Times in quest for $2,500 prize money, should have added one like this: “One hour of shopping at Thanksgiving is worth five at Christmas.” Only thirty-one shopping days remain before the grand customary rush for Christmas gifts. With taxes now paid and that debt of the summer vacation liquidated, it’s about time to mention to Dad that some purchases for Mary and Rill might well be made during the fall sales. HOW ’BOUT IT, BUDDIE i \y 7 ORD comes from the White House that President < oolidge W w jli no t protest the return of the former Kaiser to Germany nor the restoration of a monarchy with him on the throne. Oh. well, we don’t suppose it does make much difference. We only spent $22,625,252,843 licking the Kaiser; raised five million soldiers; sent two million overseas; lost 107.284 men, counting those who died over here- lent over ten billion dollars to allied countries to help them fight the Kaiser, most of which we 11 never get back; and a few more little tilings like that. True, we were told that our quarrel was not with the German people, but with the Kaiser. And every doughboy who braved tHe U-boat-infested seas to reach the well-known Flanders field was inspired with the vision that he personally was going to get the Kaiser. In fact, the whole war, so far as America was concerned, seemed to hinge upon the Kaiser and all the Kaiser represented. As to the Crusades, our boys went to the far side of the world to rid mankind of the Kaiser menace and “make the world safe for democracy.” That was the one inspiring thought: ‘hat was what the war was all about. It helped the doughboy on his marches; it flavored his bully beef; it softened the sting of homesickness; it alone made the blooming war worth while. Oh, well, maybe it doesn’t matter. Ho, huml Let’s talk of something really important—taxes, for example. Wonder how long we’ll he paying for the war?

• the FOOL,” money and marriage rpq AX happiness in marriage be obtained through money A | world-old problem, that concerning the oldest thing in the world —love —is involved in the relation of money and marriage. Clare Jewett, the “woman” in Channing Pollock’s great sensation, “The Fool,” which was published in The Times as a fiction serial, thought Daniel Gilchrist was a big catch until she realized his poverty. How she married another —not for love, but for money—forms the heart of the theatrical hit of a generation which has been made the text of sermons by more than 300 clergymen and which has been lectured upon by the noted playwright himself to more than 300 universities, schools, clubs and churches. The question is a vital one in modern American life. When the president of Georgetown University advises his students. “Don’t get married on less than $4,000 a year,” sufficient proof exists that a false standard of marriage is being fostered upon American youths. Marriage becomes a luxury when a monetary standard is applied. But. happily, the majority of young men and women of this generation do not regard the means of success and happiness of marriage dependent upon the weekly pay check. Faith is still shared in the ability of love to provide the greatest happiness in lives. Mammon is not yet the god of marriage in America. Divorce, which is increasing, is not attributable to a lack of money, but a lack of love. THAT WATER famine in New Jersey doesn’t mean as much as it would in a dry territory. _ “INDUSTRY solving idleness problem,” says a headline. Is there any other way? MISTER POINCARE’S thought seems to be that France is in favor of everything that doesn’t interfere with France. “TEN Nights in a Barroom” is out of date now, and, besides, no man could last that long. NEW YORK expects a population of 29,000,000 in the year 2000. That number of that kind in one bunch! Horrible! CHIEF JUSTICE TAFT is receiving congratulations on the excellence of his memory. He recognized each and every member of the Supreme Court when the jurists foregathered recently after their three months’ vacations. SAM BLYTHE says President Coolidge once traveled sixty miles in an auto and used only two words during the entire trip. No, the two words you are thinking of were not his, as there was Ho- blowout.

WASHINGTON EXPERIENCES BUSY WEEK Taxes, Bonus, Candidates, Foreign Policy, Conventions Take Up Time. By Timet Special 7W7J ASHINGTON. Nov. 17. \Y TAXES. “They’re too high. Forget the bonus, and we can cut them $323,000.000,'” Secretary Mellon advised Chairman Green of House Ways and Means Committee Monday. President Coolidge likes the idea. "Cut the taxes and grant the bonus, too—l’ll show you how,” W. G. McAdoo, Democrat, telegraphed immediately. “Why stop at $323,000,000? Cut them half a billion,” suggested Senator Borah. Progressive. “Taxes must be left where they are,” Senator Smoot interjected. "Don’t clinch. Keep taxes and bonus apart,” Senator Copeland, New York, Democrat, shouted and found support among Democrats and Republicans alike. The bonus would benefit 5.000,000. Tax reductions, from 8.0000,000 to 15.000,000, Mellon’s supporters insist, making no special mention of the hundred thousand rich beneficiaries. Must Retrieve and? m >r “We burned our backs on the boys who won the war, but we shall be forced to retrieve that fatal error.” Thus Woodrow Wilson Informed the Democrats. They cannot turn the.r backs on the League of Nations. Soft-peddlers were frightened. Thick-and-thin league supporters were heartened —they were rescued just as they feared they would becalmed. The challenge was not overlooked by the isolationists. Otherwise, a sharp recession in our foreign position, after a fortnight when hopes were high we might aid in settling the reparations snarl. White House announcement that we are not interested in the kaiser’s habitat or occupation was the climax. CANDIDATES —Official score now 2 to 2. Coolidge and Johnson, Republicans; Underwood and McAdoo, Democrats. As he must <x>nduot his campaign in the primaries. Johnson jumped into the ring with both feet. He picked Chicago, the scene of his lt*2o fizzle, hut Washington felt the repercussion. ( ail Fight in Open F*ine, said the Coolidge boosters, now we can fight in the open. Democrats joyously welcomed the figflt within Republican ranks. McAdoo didn't come right out like Hiram and say “T want the job," hut he admitted Judge Rockwell of Ohio had the correct information on the subject. Originally designated to make a stud; of the administration of the Veterans Bureau, the .Senate Commit tee devoted most of the week to examining the credentials of candidates for the Ananias Club. Consideration of the affairs of the veterans was secondary. Representatives ut ex-soldier organizations managed to keep their heads above the mud and denounced the methods of the committee in no uncertain tones. A constructive inquiry, not the defamation of the character of already discredited officials, should he the committee’s purpose, they said. Who Will Be Who? "Who will be who. only two weeks before CongrSss meets. Who will run the Senate? The House? Who Is to be chairman of the allimportant Interstate Commerce Committee in the Senate? Cummins or La Follette? and chairman of the Rules Committee in the House? House Republicans have received representative Will Wood's call for a caucus on Dec. 1, to agree on a plan of battle, and Senate Republicans await a similar call from Senator Curtis. Progressive Republicans have the balance of power In both Houses. But the regulars are less fearful of losing control of the Senate than of the House. \ CONVENTIONS Cleveland. Chicago, Des Moines and San Francisco all presented specifications of Convention hall and hotel facilities to a Republican sub-committee. Then money on Cleveland and Chicago, with other cities trailing. Expect decision in December, when entire Republican national committee meets. New York and San Francisco are chief contenders for Democratic conventions. Insiders declare California has better than even chance despite Gotham’s strong bid.

Animal Facts

In a recent month hunters of antelope in Madison County, Nebraska, killed 26,000 marauding crows. United State* National Museum, Washington, has long wanted a specimen of the stilt sandpiper, a very rare shore bird. Well, believe It or not, ae you please, but one of these birds a few days ago flew into the museum and dropped to the floor within a few feet of the very exhibit space that had been reserved for it. The bird was quickly shot and will soon be on exhibition. Cottagers along the East Fork In Potter County, Pennsylvania, are In a quandary. They had built a dam across the stream and thus acquired a fine boatihg and swimming pool. Along comes one lone Billy Beaver, with a purpose not to let the cottagers have everything their own way. not by a dam site He took possession of the dam and began to add to it by biting off tree* and dragging them Into the water. The cottagers shooed him away after many, many' triais, but he didn’t go far—just a little way down stream. There he calmly began work on a dam of his own. That done, he discovered that he did not get water enough. So up stream he went and proceeded to bite the cottagers’ dam full of holes and let all. their water escape to bis new place of residence. I vow the cottagers are calling on the State game wardens to come and get their darned old beaver and put a stop to any more dam Work.

ROCKWELL IS INFLUENTIAL IN INDIANA McAdoo’s Campaign Manager Pulled Strings for Cox at 1920 Convention* • By ROBERT J. BENDER (Copyright, 1923, by United News.) N 1 EW YORK Nov. 17.—Formal announcement of Judge David I J L. Rockwell of Ohio that uiends of William Gibbs McAdoo are actively on the job to secure his presidential nomination and election, confirms general knowledge the McAdoo campaign is under way. McAdoo is not saying anything, but he knows what his friends are doing. Because he is the best advertised and undoubtedly the most popular potential candidate the Democrats have at the present time, he is given precedence in discussing the Democratic possibilities for next year. Judge Rockwell's announcement from the McAdoo Illinois headquarters at Chicago has a very important political significance. Judge Rockwell, a substantial political leader of Ravenna, Ohio, was, the man who, perhaps more than any other, directed James E. Cox’s campaign for the nomination in 1920 on the floor of the San Francisco convention. Others got public credit for Cox’s success then, but behind those working in the open was Rockwell. Influence in Indiana Not only is Rockwell a. leader among Democrats, but he also has influence with the Indiana Democratic organization, headed by Senator Ralston and Tom Taggart. Rockwell's leadership in the McAdoo movement may be regarded as further evidence that James M. Cox is out of the running and that Taggart and Brennan, of Illinois, will be dealing with a man who understands their political language. There has been much talk of late that Charles Murphy. Tammany Hall chief, Taggart and Brennan, were organizing to beat McAdoo. It was the same story In 1920. Suffice Is to say McAdoo certainly cannot expect the support of Murphy. They never have pulled together and. besides, McAdoo is an ardent “dry.” Furthermore, it. can be said McAdoo Isn't keen for Tammany's support. Saw Cleveland Nominated In 1884, when Grover Cleveland was a candidate for the Democratic nomination. McAdoo was a youth just arrived at his majority and worsting In Tennessee He was Interested In politics and prevailed upon a friend of his, a railroad man, to get him transportation to the convention. Arrived at the convention, he was made an alternate delegate from the State when one of those regularly appointed fell 111. He sat in the con ventlon and saw Cleveland nominated without, support of the Tammany delegation and later saw Cleveland elected. Four years later McAdoo again sat in the convention nn.l this time he saw Cleveland renominated with the aid of Tammany—and later defeated at the polls. Curious Coincidence It is a curious thing, which McAdoo does not disregard, that Democratic presidential candidates. who have won their elections, have been those nominated without the aid of Tantmony, while those nominated with the aid of Tammany have failed of election at the polls. In waging his campaign McAdoo also will be confronted with the hostility of those In the party who disapprove the policies of Woodrow Wilson. For that reason ho? will prob ably make his prime issuo a domestic one and, because he realizes that he needs the South and West to win either the nomination or election, his foremost plank a ill likely te one having to do with Government coopera tion in moving and marketing crops. This, coupled with a constructive program of railroad regulation designed to aid shippers and, of course, plea for reduced taxes, undoubtedly will be the foundation upon which he will stand. It may be safely predicted ho will not relegate these Issues to the cause of crusading for the League of Nations, although he certainly will espouse a constructive international policy of cooperation with Europe.

F. H. Russell, vice president Curtiss Aeroplane Company: “Before com merclal aviation can become a factor in American transportation a number of essential requirements must be met. The Government must inspect and license aircraft and its personnel with the same degree of care that it inspects its passenger steamers and officers. James A. Goldsmith, president Silk Association of America: “Silk manufacturers have found the disaster In Japan more upsetting to their industry than any single occurrence in a decade. Asa consequence, they have had a hard road to travel the past two months. Buyers are re* luctant to place business. Curtailment in production is growing greater every day and when the demand comes there will be a real scarcity. That means, in my personal. opinion, higher prices for manufactured goods.”

Another Jonah On the Job

Not So Loud! By BERTON BRALEY Blow your own horn! Speak up and tell The cock-eyed world that you are present; Tell people you're alive and well: A little dope like that is pleasant. But do not overdo it, bo; Or folks will only grin and snigger, They’ll think that all you do Is blow And that it’s using all your vigor. A little tooting makes you known. It helps to advertise you, yea bo; But toot too much and folks will groan. “Gosh but that bird's a loud gazabo!” Speak up and say your little piece. But don’t forevermore repeat It. Be brief and to the point—then cease, Or you will hear the order — “Beat it!” Blow your own horn and sell your stuff. You’re GOOD, so let the old world know it! Then quit—at least for long enough To let some other fellow blow it! (Copyright, 1923, NEA Service, Inc.)

What Editors Are Saying

Significant (La Porte Daily Herald) A prohibition agent who has been attending college football games and, I notices that hip-pocket flasks are quite j common among spectators. The prohibition agent, adds that 1 there seems to be less drinking among i the students than among the alumni | and others of the generation marching : toward the discard. i This is significant, for the success jor failure of compulsory prohibition ! depends on whether or not prohibition j can prevent the rising generation from getting the liquor habit. Fair (Hartford City News) The payment for resurfaced streets at Indianapolis is not based on a bad plan. When that city wishes to repair an old street that has been paid for originally by, the property owners and worn out by the public the public pays three-fourths and the public one-fourth of the expense. The next Legislature shouid provide a law that would extend this plan to cities of the second and third class. In Hartford City there are several streets that demand resurfacing at this time. But it is not likely that i there will be any streets resurfaced | until there is a law like Indianapolis I has. The public wears them out and j the public should bear the greater ex- ! pense. Don’t (Waterloo Press) Say, Mr. Hunter, don’t kill all the birds. If there were no birds there wouldn’t be anything else, for the air would be so filled with harmful insects of all kinds that they would devour every bit of vegetation of whatsoever kind or noture, and then mankind and all other forms of animal life would die for lack of food. Birds were placed here as a balanoe in nature to keep down the pests, and they do It properly if let alone. Let* us bear this In mind and protect rather than kill the useful, harmless birds.
