THESE BE STORMY DAYS. Life is pretty stormy nowadays and the prospect foi still stormier existence looms up on the horizon. These days of stress and turmoil age men and women and force young peopl into adults before their time. We can all look back longingly to pre-war days when a little peace and rest from turmoil was possible. Now life seems a never-ending series of untoward events and strife. One cannot turn around without facing some kind of trouble. If we have none of our own. the other fellow Is sure to have it and when he hasn't it. our share falls to us. Trouble and differences seem to be the generally accepted lot of man and it is time that people learned to take life philosophically and make the best of it. People are living in an era of unrest and discontent. It may be seen on all sides. The only thing to do is to take life as It comes and get the best out of it. There is more need than ever in this old world of optimism. It doesn't pay to be looking constantly on the dark side of things. Whatever is to be will be, and worrying won't make It any easier nor cut It any shorter.

STILL IN FRANCE'S DEBT. Wilson says that America's debt to France has not ct bten fully paid. We don't quite get the president. We thought by sending millions of troops to France and milions of money this country had jut about wiped out any debt she owed France, but Mr. Wilson says not. We had in mind that America by hurling her enormous resources Into the breach when Germany was marching into Paris had practically won the war and saved France, but Mr. Wilson says not. He wants this country to po to the rescue of France should the time ever come when Germany should attack France and in that way pay ofi a little more of what he calls our debt. According to Secretary of Treasury Glass, we shall be ten years in paying hevy taxes of our own in this war and yet he seeks to have th country be at France's beck and call. In the meantime a myriad of people in this country would be more than delighted if Mr. Wilson would turn his attention to America's personal needs Instead of France's.

THE BAD MEN OF THE MAILS.

The cunning brigands of the mails are well aware of the fact that artistically embossed stationery is uncon ', sciously accepted a subtle guarantee of character. An ! by reason of that knowledge they succeed in exchanging j letter sheets and envelopes of convincing quality for huge I orders of merchandise. It is a form of long distance ! swindle that may be approached with especial ease by persons living in foreign countries particularly in those j lands not overly particular about law and order. ' Atide from the millions taken by crooks making

fradulent use of the mails, great hartn is done by them j to legitimate mail-order business. Thus the government j

welcomes the co-operation of trade organizations and other reputable forces in making war on them. Very effective aid is being rendered by the advertising profession.

While the authorities don't attempt a forecast. It is well known that all wars are followed by periods of great activity on the part of commercial adventurers. It Is not unlikely that the fraudulent mail operator will be unusually evident during the next few years.

ON a nice obituary In a contemporary the HEADLINE. "Help Vinlsh The Job" was placed IN a transposition AND the editor expects to be around sometime next week. EVEN when a widow has had two husbands SHE expects you to pretend to use FOKCE the first time TOU try to klBs her. RETAIL prices are coming down slowly AND will soon be back TO abnormal. WHAT is your guess, will it be the building MATERIAL business or the MILLINERY business that will benefit from the FUNDS that used to be spent for booze? PERSONALLY we look for a Coca Cola boom. "TAXING The Unborn," says a headline WELL, that will be a great RELIEF for those of us who are both born and taxed. IF a man makes $40 a week his wife manages to MAKE her household expenses run about $45 per AND If he makes $100 a week she MANAGES to fix things so tho will need about $110 a week.

"The situation created as a result of this agitation." said a federal official, "is one that deserves the consideration of all right thinking people, -white and black. It is an agitation which Involves the I. W. YV.. Bolshevism and the worst features of other extreme radical movements. It appeals to the ignorant anr see'iS openly to create a feeling of reser'rr.cnt among certain negro elements that may lead to results that all good citizens will deplore unless It is stopped.

WOUND STRIPES FOR INDUSTRIAL HEROES. There was a time when the sight of a cripple aroused a feeling of pity mingled with revulsion. The loss of a leg or an arm. it was thought, effectively disabled the victim for further utility in life. But this has been changed. Thousands of. men have come back from the other side wounded with various degrees of severity. They talked about with that proud demeanor which shows that they consider their wounds an honor rather than a cause for pity; they take on jobs and discharge them so competently that nobody who has had experience with wounded toldiers ia his employ can think any more that the so-tailed "cripple" is really crippled for further usefulness ia the industrial system. The army is going to reimburse every man who was disabled in the great war. It will reimburse him not merely by payment of money for mere money is of secondary importance in this particular case will reimburse tim rather by making him able to compete successful!; with other men possessing their full complement of limb and health. The army will teach every one of it3 wounded soldiers a trade or a profession. It will make him abla to be successfully self-supporting and to pay Ills way in society as he goes. After the first step has been taken, of convincing him

FILIPINOS WINNING INDEPENDENCE. Having arrived at the stage of economic and political development where they believe they should have their independence, the Filipinos are asking the United State to relinquish control of their islands. They are engaged in what might be fittingly termed a "bloodless revolution." There is no criticism of the administration of the islands by the United States and no undue pressure is being brought to bear to force action by thiB country, but the natives appear to be working a craft game of taking charge of tehir government by relieving American oJicials of their positions and appointing Filipinos to Succeed them. A recent ship arriving at a Pacific port brought a number of Americans who had been heads of. bureaus in the Philippine government, w ho had been relieved of their positions in accordance with an act of the insular government which retired Americans with a year's full pay. The Filipinos anticipate early actidn by the United States in granting them full independence, an dso strong is their belief in this that they will be prepared for the event when it occurs. As a preparedness measure this is not a bad idea. The wonderful progress made by the Filipinos in the last few years suggests that next to the Japanese they are the most capable people in the Orient.

Efforts Made to Stir Negroes to a Revolt

Propaganda Urging Them to Join Radicals and Stir Up Discontent, Negroes Urged to Line Up With I. W. W. and Socialists.

SO many strikes are in operation about the country that the wonder is that any work is being done at all.

OUR big Pacific fleet is now going to get on the Job. Pacific means peaceable and sometimes peace-making.

JSPECIAL TO TMt TtMCil NEW YORK. July 30. Evidence is accumulating In the files of the government to show that the negroes of this country are the object of a vicious and apparently well financed propaganda, which is directed against the white people, and which seeks, by newspapers, pamphlets and In other wars to stir up discontent among the negroes, particu

larly the uneducated class In the south-1

ern states, says the Times. Documents in possession of the authorities showthat among: the radical organizations active in this propaganda are the I. W. V.. certain factions of the radical Socialist elements and Bolshevists. A federal official exhibited to the Times a few days ago a recent copy of a negro magazine which is said to have a large circulation in sections where

there are considerable negro populations, j

The magazine was illustrated, and is printed On the finest of newsprint paper. It contained several articles In which the negroes were urged to join the I. W. W. and the left wing Socialist organizations. TO BUILD NEW SOCIETY. , In one article, the author of which

was said to be a widely known negro writer, the negroes were urged to "form an, alliance with the I. W. YV.. the Socialists and the Nonpartisan League, to build up a new society of equals, without class, race, caste, or religious distinctions." In the same publication was anothar article, captioned "The March of Soviet Government," which in part read: Still It continues. The cosmic tread of Soviet government, with ceaseless step, claims another nation. Russia and Germany have yielded to its human touch, and now Hungary Joins the people's form of rule. Italy Is standing upon a social volcano. France is seething with social unrest. The triple alliance of Great Britain the railroad, transportation and mine workers threatens to overthrow the economic and political bourbonism of "Merry Old England." The red tide of Socialism sweeps on in America. South America is in the throes of revolution. Soviet government proceeds apace. It bids fair to sweep over the whole world. The sooner the better. On with the dance. An except from an article that recently has been distributed widely among the negro population follows: Negroes must get into the Socialist partv Socialism Is fb nedltlcal
