MIL HAEDING SCORES AGAIN. President Harding's remarkable talent for selecting the right persona for public service and Inducing them to aot finds Its latest expression la his appointment to membership in the conference called to consider the unemployment situation throughout the country. The names will command popular confidence. In addition to Secretaries Hoover and Davis, who. arranged the details of the conference, they include captains of industry, labor leaders, educators and persona who have made a epeclal study of the subject. In making his appointments. President Harding has not attempted proportional representation of industries or particular groups. The industries where there is the most unemployment are most numerously represented, Geographic conditions have ruled to Eoine extent, since each section has its own problems. As Is always the case with any movement designed for the public good, the critics are busy predicting the failure of this attempt to minimize unemployment. One of their arguments is that the industrial relations conferences caJled by President Wilson were utterly negligible a3 to practical results. ' A conference with, such a personnel should be able to make valuable recommendations for remedial legislation by congress, as well as for instituting a nationwide co-operative movement to relieve the situation. It la unfortunate that persona suffering from political astigmatism should seek to read any partisan meaning Into this conference. Realizing his responsibility, Mr. Harding is acting as the president of all the people. Ills singleness of purpose is shown by his appointments to this gathering from which may flow results surprising to its critics.

an executive in a private business enterprise. He received numerous offerB of positions that must have been exceedingly tempting not only on account of the financial consideration, but because they presented opportunities to become a leader in the world of business. These were consistently refused. After a distinguished period of service at Washington, Mr. Lane finally found It impossible longer to refrain frcni making provision for the financial future of himself and his dependents and resigned to accept an attractive business position. And then shortly after occurred his lamented death. He had not had time to acquire a competence. Now his friends have found U necessary to provide a fund for his widow. There is much to be said for the Hritlsh system whereby men who render distinguished service to the state are not only adequately compensated during their term of office, but are provided for liberally upon th'elr retirement when necessity arises. It Is the way both to get and to keep good men In the public service.

WHERE BRIDES ARE BOUGHT. Whatever the conclusions of the chronic compiler of statistics concerning the college woman and matrimony in America, in far Formosa the young woman of education is at a premium as a wife. But instead of feeling flattered that she commands a. high price $750 to 11,000 in American money the educated girls of Formosa are rebelling and demanding abolition of the custom of engagement money being paid to their parents for them. But all Formosan women are not so advanced, some only protesting that the engagement price is too high and drives away many men who would make good husbands, but have not the price. Perhaps In time Formosa will become bo far advanced as to turn the tables and men will demand a marriage portion from the parents to induce them to marry their daughters, as is done in France.

Meanwhile the high cost of marriage in Formosa

is doing one good thing In reducing the number cf wives to one, since a man considers himself fortunate to afford one wife instead of several, as was the case in the good old Formosan days.

NOT A "LEISURE CLASS" Reading advance "dope" on the football" season, somebody remarked the other day that he wondered when college men get any time to devote to their studies. It seemed to him that from the beginning of the fall term until Thanksgiving football held first place in the curriculum of our modern educational Institutions. Because a popular sport and pastime naturally receives more publicity than the routine of class and lecture rooms, many persons attribute to It an importance Tn college life that it does not possess. In any college only a small percentage of the students go la for football as participants. The interest of the large majority is expressed only by their attendance at the games and most of the contests are staged Satur3ay afternoons. While there will always be some slackers, most college students realize the significance of their job. They fcnow what they are there for and the penalty for wasting time. The gospel of endeavor is being preached as never before. "Work hard" should be the motto of all, whether In or out of college.

LIBERTY BONDS ALWAYS SAFE, The upward trend in Liberty bends is a source of great satisfaction to those who refused to sell their bonds In many Instances when hard put to it to sell. Hoard's Dairyman, after sounding a warning of the fakir who Is always ready and anxious to trade "get-rich-quick" stock for Liberty bonds and Victory notes, gives this good advice to its readers: "We advice anyone who has money to invest outside his farm to consult hla local banker. All bankers are in possession of useful Information concerning the various bonds, mortgages and stocks on the market. Their advice, in most cases, will be sound as no banker desires to lose customers through misrepresentation. To those who do not care to consult their local bankers In reference to Investments, we would suggest that they purchase Government Liberty Ponds, municipal bonds, or farm mortgage bonds. Any of these bonds can be obtained through the local bank. "A person who places hla money in a business that he knows nothing about or buys stock from a person he does not know needs a guardian, for 99 times out of 100 It 13 the last he will ever see of his money. It is ridiculous for people to get the notion Into their heads that a stranger goes about the country to make others rich. It is his game for getting money and he knows how to play It."

It's our party, yet all the guests want a voice in making the program of the limitation of armaments meet. But Mr. Hughes also knows something of eti-quet.

"Fatty" Arbuckle told the prohibition agents he saw no whisky In his hotel room. As one of the women witnesses testified she had 10 drinks of It, maybe be didn't.

A SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY. Announcement that friends of the late Franklin K. Lane have raised a fund of $100,000 as a memorial to the former secretary of the interior, the income to be paid to his widow during her lifetime, is a reminder of the niggardly compensation we give our public servants. During the last 15 years of his life Mr. Lane was engaged in the government service, having occupied two positions of great responsibility. As a member and chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commission he made an extraordinary record of usefulness, displaying qualities that would have commanded a large salary as
