There are strange 6ights risible these daj-s in the marts of trade. The other day we went to a meat shop and asked for a small pot roast. The gentlemanly butcher tcok a great shoulder of beef from a hook, laid it on the block and hewed off a chunk about the size of our two fista, put it on the scales, wrapped it up and

handed it to us, saying in the gentlest and most sympathizing voice, "75 cents." We thought of the good old days when such a chunk could have been bought for 30 cents. Of course the genial butcher was not responsible lor the change. He would have eold it to us for 25 cents if he could. But the H. C. L. paralyzed him and we really had as much compassion for him as he had for us. We are looking for the day when we can buy a little chunk of beef fcr less money than we have, but that day seems afar. In the meantime we argua wlthour&elf that we eat too much meat anyhow.

THE TIMES

Saturday, Sept. 25, 1920.

WHO'S L00NEY NOW. tTnder the above caption Col. George Harvey makes the fallowing caustic comment: "Twenty-three years ago there was a woman suffrage measure before the North Carolina legislature, By a substantial majority, it was referred to the committee en lunatic asylums. "On the 20th day of August last, the Sorth Carolina legislature passed a bill providing machinery for women voters in future elections. Not that the North Carolina legislature has changed its mind on the woman suffrage question. It hasn"t. It voted heavily against woman suffrage only a few days before it votel to create the necessary machinery for recording the will cf the women voterB at the polls. "North Carolina merely bows to the inevitable; that's all. And with characteristic North Carolina chivalry. It was one of the bitterest of the anti-suffrage bitterenders, Harry Hrier, who offered the bill conferring on county authorities the power of admitting women voters to these ballot box privileges which an amendment to the constitution of the United States now confers upon them. "Thus the Old North State is able to read its title clear to consistency on the one hand, and to chivalrous courteey on the other. There is. of course, nothing surprising in that. It is what might have been expected cf the old commonwealth. But there- are still certain questions remaining unanswered. For instance, were the North Carolina legislators who voted to refer a woman suffrage measure to the committee of lunatic asylums themselves 'lconey, or were the legislators of thirty-six states 'looney' when they voted ratification of the woman suffrage amendment to the federal constitution? "And again, how far ,-was this possible lunacy of the North Carolina legislature twenty-three years asro then shared by the country at large? Here is an interesting field for experts in mass psychopathic afflictions."

ONLY F. S. SHIPS WERE TOLLED. As president, Harding will never ask congress to reverse a fundamental policy of Americanism by the mysterious plea, "1 shall not knew how to deal with ether matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me." That was the basis of President Wilson's appeal to congre" the repeal cf the free-tolls-for-American ships clause In the Panama Canal Act. What. he aked was granted, but to this day nobody knows what was the situation "of even greater delicacy" which was saved thereby.

HOPE OF RUSSIA HER WEAKNESS. For many decades Rusbia with her vast f ovulation constituted a constant source of apprehension to the nations of Eurpe. Russia's desire for a warm water port and the means nhe might tak to obtain it caused a fear to lurk in the mind of every head of government.

i'When Russia defeated Turkey in 'iT-TS it was a con

cert of powers that prevented her from reaping the fruits of her military victory because it would give her a predominance that was disturbing. Great Britain feaied for India, though, almost insuperable barriers would needs -be surluounted before Russia could really threaten that country. In fact every great nation cf Europe kept its eyes on Russia because it was believed she had the strength to accomplish anything she might undertake. It was her e-normous man power that constituted the menace. Her upwards of 200.000,000 of people was thought to be an inexhaustible reservoir from which to drv strength for her armies. It has been shown, however, that much of the fear that Russia inspired was groundless. Japan 15 years, ago demonstrated that Russia had weaknesses that sapped her vitality. Her failure in the Great War was another illustration that she was much less to be feared as an enemy than had been suspected. Russia had and still has the man power. She has abundant undeveloped resources. But man power without capability in guidance is without its proper force. Rus sia could put many men in the field, but ruen not prop

erly equipped, munitioned and rationed are n effective.

Corruption in her government wrought the ruin cf Ler cause. Her authorities lacked honor. They enriched themselves at the expense of their country's life. Russia need uever have been feared had those who dreaded her power looked beneath the surface. They shculd have seen that she lacked in transportation, sba

lacked the developed resouics that enable a nation to prosecute a successful war, her authorities lacked honesty. She had potential force, but efficiency in directing that force was wanting. That Russia todny is fleeing before the war-weary soldiers of Fcland shows that Russia has not improved under the rule of the bolshevists. Its government heads are still of the unscrupulous type that led the Russian armies to defeat in other conflicts. That out cf the hundred and odd millions the bolshevists are able to put in the fieldi no greater armies shows that they represent not the aspiration of the real Russian people. Were the heart of Russia with the colshevists like the Poles stand for thir national restoration the Russians would be able to overwhelm Poland by mere numbers without making great use of the implements of war. Russia as a military power U still weak because she i3 not capably led in a cause in which she has no zeal. Yet Russia possesses potential force that would be well-nigh Irresistible were her millions unified in a cause and capably and honestly directed. If the time ever comes when Russia secures an efficient, honest, upright and equitable government, if it rises to the place where its people enjoy the belseings of a just government under law. if it progresses to the point where its population is lifted out of its ignorance, if its resources are developed in keeping with twentieth century progress, then may Russia be feared by any nation or coalition that arouses her anger. It is true that her disordered state is now a menace and a great one, but a menace slight compared with what it would be did the bolsevlsts represent more than a small minority cf the Russian people. It Is well, indeed, for civilization that the boishevists are handicapped by Russian inertness. Were they backed by the entire man power of the former empire th outlook for the wcrld would be dark. It is well that the same influences that prevailed to neutralize the power of Russia in the wars in which she engaged operate now to stay the progress of the barbarous doctrines that are recognized as essentially Russian. Russia's weakness despite her number may prove the safety of civilization.

Threr Monater C'-bureh Service tn Hammond are Conducted by the California U hit, Big Jim One ot these services was held last night when a few hundred of the high school children turned out to hear the evangelist. Many say thfre never was a greater service held In th city. When th- speaker closed all the boys and girl stood and thanked Big Jim for bis advice. When Big; Jim first gave the invitstlon to accept Christ it looked as if there would be no response, but 11!g Jim held on and pleaded and then they came from all oved the house end the whole church was stirred. 'Sunday night Dr. Kramer will deliver his great sermon "Don't Die on Third." No man knows more baseball players than Big Jim. He delivered this sermon to 5.000 people in Ios Angeles and hundred were turned auay. The entire Los Angeles team attended in a body. Dr. Kramer has been Chaplain of two baseball leagues.

He delivered in San Francisco to buaineu men in one year 17 addresses. His church led all the Baptist churches in his convention in th? number of conversions.

He has managed to have back of him erne of the greatest men in America of all denominations. He haa now more work than he can do for a year to come, He packs any buildtrgr he preaches in.
