Should their owners be punished for having them? Is it right that they should be required to divide their prosperity with other who have had none of the responsibility and bore none of the burden of creating and developing them? These questions are important and must be disposed of before we can proceed to any consideration of propositions to "socialize" any of our Industries. They must be disposed of Justly and honestly. Being so disposed of we shall have an end of chatter about "socialization" and. therefore, need not go farther and contemplate the stagnation that would result from giving over to government ownership or management our great industries which have become great and can remain great only under private control.

OPERA BOUFFE.

"With the president on his United States junket see-

j lng America last are Mrs. Wilson. Joe Tumulty. Tom

Brahany, Admiral Grayson and his piu-Dox oauery. stenographers, secret service men. newspaper correspondents and moving picture operators." It reminds one of tho dramatis personae of a play, ending with "pikemen. chor-

j isters. harlequins, strolling players, gamins, etc." known

DacK or tne scenes as supes.

THE SENATE AWAKENS. That the government has at last come to the conclusion that there is a third party to the great steel 6trlke a party which includes the great majority of the American people is shown in the Kenyon Investigation which began in the senate yesterday and in which Senator Kenyon stated that he asked the investigation in the interest of the great third part;. the public. "Industry is in a ticklish situation," Senator Kenyon said. "This is the first skirmjsh in an industrial warfare and we may as well face it. The day has gone when either capital or labor has- the right to precipitate on the country a suspension of industrial life.' Senator Smith of South Carolina, a Democrat of course-, opposed the investigation, declaring it was encouraging people to bring their troubles to the senate. "Who, may we ask, is Smith of South Carolina? Since when has he attained so high and mighty a position that he thinks the Uinted States senate should not concern itself with the problems of the people? The charge is made. Senator Knox, of Pennsylvania, said, "that the strike trouble is caused by Slavs and other foreigners for whom we have been pouring out our blood," and an Investigation should be made to determine whether Americans are being prevented from working by foreign elements. "More than capital and labor are involved," said Senator Owen of Oklahoma. "A national policy must come."

SOCIALISM FOR THE OTHER FELLOW. Dr. John II. L-add, westerner of the 'eighties, big game hunter, tourist, and occasional poet, spends his declining days at Laddoe Ledge, about sixteen miles from Washington. D. C on an elbow of the Potomac River. He is known as the Philosopher of River Bend, and to readers of Alfred Henry Lewis' "Wolfville" stories he may be identified as the original of Doc Peets. Ladd "points a moral" and "adorns a tale" on the subject of socialism as follows : "This socialism which is becoming so prevalent throughout the country, and with which even our president appears to havtbeen bitten, reminds me of the two Irishmen who were discussion the subject, one endeavoring to explain it to the other: '"And do yez mean to tell me, Larry,' said Barney, who had been listening intently to the explanation, 'that if ye had a million dollars, and we wuz socialists, I wud have the half av It? " 'Shure, and indade ye wud, if we wuz socialists,' replied Larry"And if ye had two pigs, wud I have wan of him?' "'Not on yer life' was the quick rerort. 'Ye know dornned well I have two pigs!"

OUR DEBT TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISE. "It was a godsend to the country that private capital had provided a great system which could be utilized for the needs of the country in a time of tremendous stress," wa a declaration of George A- Post, chairman of the railroad committee of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, before a meeting of the National Board of Farm Organizations. The truth 13 worth pondering. Practically every "godsend" which man enjoys or benefits from has been developed by private enterprise. That is the fundamental fact for consideration when the ques'ion of appropriating the fruits of men's enterprise is under discussion. For all the progress which has been made in industry and the dlscorevry and development of natural resources, we are Indebted to private enterprise. It was private capital that took all the risks in searching out and making available the minerals that God had planted In the earth. Our oil and coal were godsends during the war emergency, but we have neither the general public nor the government to thank for their production in the abundance with which they were required in order to defeat the German?. Our great mills and factories, without the products of which the war could not have been won, are monument sto private enterprise.

.PARIS IS AMAZED. Cablegrams from Pari3 are to the effect that the greatest amazement has been occasioned there by the reports that reservations to the covenant of the league of nations are actually to be made by the United Stateu senate. During the deliberations of the peace conference President "Wilson succeeded in forcing his desires upon the delegates by the representation that the American people were overwhelmingly at his back and were insistently demanding the very things he asked- And he was able to get away with this by reason of the fact that he absolutely controlled the cables and the mails, barring from the conference all adverse comment from America

land permitting the publication only of such matters as

was designed to further and promote his plans. France yielded to h!m because convinced that America was demanding through him the adoption of a league of nations and would be satisfied with nothing beside, a conclusion reached not only because of the president's representations but by reason of the fact that he was willing to waive all indemnities and all territorial grants from Germany in order to secure it. And now Paris hears that the United States was not behind Mr. Wilson, that he spoke only for himself, and that his precious covenant is to be radically revised by the senate with the consent and approbation of the American people. No wonder Paris is gasping with amazement and that the peace conference delegates fee! that the president artistically goldbricked them. Fort Wayne News.

! rij , THE PASSING j SHOVj

FOR IDLE HOURS. If you are not working, the idle hours seem long. You can spend these hours to far greater advantage by not roaming the streets. For the many unemployed people, no better use of their time can be made than by visiting the library and making use of the books and magazines on all kinds of subjects. Now is the time to read the books you have wanted to read for so long and had not the time to read. There are books and many excellent magazine articles on the labor question, the high cost of living and the league of nations. These are questions uppermost in the minds of the people at present. The library is yours USE IT. The books and mem

bers of the staff are at your service-

ANT time you call on a girl AND she comes to the door to meet you PRESSKD in a run-down kimono and wearing: ONE-HALF of her hair TT is a sign that you are about as popular AS the flu as far as she IS concerned. AND in the meantime WE have r.cver seen the slogan '

NO one-half of one pe.rcent b?T. no

work. SOME of the neighbor women according; TO sec how little they are fcUincSIMPLT have to do all their shopping BT telephone as it makes thorn sick TO see horn little they are getting FOR their money. IT may seem paradoxical BUT the less a wife costs a man THE dearer she is to htm. ABOUT the only recourse Tie frequent users OF tha telegraph have is to KEEP wiring Mr. Burleson un-lcr the new rates, collect. FREE speech continues to prove its

RIGHT to get the speaker ipto trouble. AVE certainly hope for the sake of thc WOMEN and children THAT the strikers have at least a few TON'S of coal in the war chest. WOMAN may become man's superior BUT we fear that men will never have nerve ENOUGH to tackle one and say, "Have YOU a match in your vestee pocket?" LATEST cause for C:orce, alimony and CUSTODY of a son at our house IP remark made by indifferent husband WHEN nobler 4-5 points out that E.VGIXE Is cr.ly hitting on three "LET it alone, that's better than I am doing." AMBITION attained is never quite all you THOUGHT it was going to be WE remember that when our dreart of GKTTIN'J into lon rants became AN" actuality i i: suddenly realized with a sinking of the heart THAT our socks didn't show ENOUGH to prove that- they WERE socks. AVE don't know much BUT we do know that the reason a RICH man is rich IS because a wife knows that sh
