The Worlds Morning After Most of our troubles today are due to Ignorance; Ignorance of the fundamental laws of morality, ethics, human nature or psychology and economics. This is directly the result of the upbuilding of a civilization that seems too complex for simple minds to comprehend. The complexity Is only apparent, it is not real. Just at present with Bolshevism, high prices, high wages, high war taxes and demands for government ownership of railroads, our chief troubles, at least the ones receiving most publicity, are economic. Solutions for our economic

troubles are being offered as freely as the air. (Ranging from Bolshevism and milder and less bloody forms of government ownership up to still liigher prices and wages, these free remedies are worth just what something for nothing aliWays is worth, nothing. We are simply experiencing the morning after effects of a big world drunk. Five years' war debauch, a debauch of brutal bloodshed, of bestial denial of international and individual morality and ethics, of international, national and in- ' dividual war profits, war wages and extravagance, five years of this have been concocted and quaffed to produce the indigestional headache that Is Tacking all of us today. I To continue drinking a strengthened solution of this concoction, and that is what those who advocate Bolshevism, government ownership of railroads, higher prices and higher wages are urging us to do, is to invite delirium tremens, stark, staring: social insanity. Instead of additional stimulant we need a sedative, something to calm us down and quiet our over-wrought nerves; a restorative while we recover from our periodic drunk. That restorative is work and saving. Increased production both individual and collective, a cessation of the wild spending that is char

acterizing all classes today until a very orgy of

extravagance is all that satisfies, alone can bring

us to normal living.

Work and save. Increase the stock of essen

tial goods and pile up capital so that replace

inents and improvements can once more be taken care of, and prices and wages, or purchasing

power, will be automatically adjusted.

Keep on spending, and outraged economic law

,will enforce a period of rest and saving through

its old, old remedy, a depression.

French Methods and Ours Our soldiers in France, compelled to sleep in

the mud or under the dubious shelter of rough billets, far from home, and deprived by the necessities of wartime discipline of the freedom of action so prized by Americans, were reduced to a state of mind that made them quick to resent high prices in France. Life was no picnic for the boys while overseas. Pay was often months late in coming, and money did not last long in a country where the home people were paying $2 a pound for butter and $1.80 a dozen for eggs. So as a natural result, much is being said to the detriment of French people, and unless we are disposed to be generously fair, relations with our ally will suffer. Americans know something about profiteering and gouging; we are occasionally reminded. Is ours a glass house?. Here are the observations of a correspondent of the Review, a New York weekly, who tells of an incident on a train in Maine: "I had a conversation with a young New Englander, recently discharged, who expressed great bitterness because he had had to pay a large

price for a knife in France and had, he thought, been overcharged for eggs. It happened that we got off at the same station and I inquired his name and learned that his father was one of the selectmen of the little lake village where I spend my summers. "Then I recalled that the selectmen had assessed my cottage twice as much as that of the more valuable property of the farmer next to me ; that thfs same boy's aunt charged us above the current rate for eggs and was so careful to

What Other Editors Say

G

THE BROTHERHOOD DEMANDS i

lAPITAL and labor by co-operating for the full

measure of production can maintain the present prosperity of the country's Industries, can main

tain wages at the prevailing high rate; and increased i production Is the one sure way to reduce the cost of living. It Is In the power of capital alone or of labor alone to destroy prosperity and to compel not merely the reduction ot wage by widespread unemployment, but loss of wages through the enforced closing down of in dus tries. I The chiefs of the Railroad Brotherhoods have most unwisely taken a step the nature and certain effect of .which wo are euro they have not sufficiently considered, for the success of their design would entail consequences 'from which they and the country may well pray to be de

livered. The reading of the proclamation of purpose in

hich they demand the government ownership of the

railroad convinces us that Samuel Gompers should be Jiere, not in Amsterdam, for his wiser mind and experienced eye would have detected the fallacies and false

teachings Ingrafted upon tho document, evidenUy by that

Insidious Influence which for many years has been try. 'tag to wrest from him the control ot guidance of organ-

'ized labor in this country. Tho demand of the Brother'hoods Is based upon the delusion that by operating the 'railroads "democratically" by a board ot fifteen members,

Jn which labor, tho operating officials, and the public should havo equal representation, increased efficiency would bo assured, "enormous" savings effected, rates reduced, and "a share of the surplus at the end of each year" would be available for distribution among the wago

earning force. Human experience disproves this assump

tion altogether, and our present disastrous venture in

government operation or tne ranroaas trumpets lorth a warning that all but the deafest ears have heard against any further experiments of that nature. Tho plan of the Brotherhoods commits the railroads into the joint control of politics and Tabor. The government-appointed members of the board would inevitably and at aU times be most solicitous to placate the labor members, and the two elements together would control

railway policies. The chiefs of the brotherhoods may de

ceive themselves by the attempt at reasoning which they address to this point. They will not convince or deceive the public Upon the great public of taxpayers would devolve the duty to make good the enormous deficit sure to accrue from the control of the lines In the interests of .politics and labor. Just as it fails upon them now. InIstead of & billion or so a year, the cost assessed upon the taxpayer would rise to two or it mar be to three billions a year, and for a service far inferior to that under private operation. The brotherhood chiefs seek the enforcement of their purpose through duress upon congress and the country. ,The7 use the language of menace, as they did three years jfgo. They declare that "the employes are ln-.no xoood to

brook the return of the lines to their former control." We are sure that on reflection they will see that these word3 are ill-advised. It is an occasion for candid counsel and not for threats; and the government, capital, and the country were never In a mood to be more considerate of the interests and the Just demands of labor. Besides, they wilj not win by truculence. It Is untimely. The country has Just held a practical referendum on this very question, and the answer is a thundering demand for the return of the lines to private operation. We are told that the brotherhoods control two million votes. Well, if the suffrage amendment goes into effect in time, there will be thirty million voters in the United States at the next election. Make their two million votes six million and they will still be overwhelmingly beaten on this issue. No party will be cowardly enough or reckless enough to Invite disaster by yielding to this demand. Have the brotherhoods forgotten that they very nearly elected a Republican president in 1916 by the course they took to force the eight-hour law to enactment? In August Mr. Wilson's election was sure. The Republican party had

been rent asunder by the progressive division of 1912. That It would be reunited and elect its candidate was considered impossible. The threat of the brotherhoods to paralyze tho industries of the whole country by a strike, and the unheard-of audacity of the methods they adopted in their dealings with the president and with congress, changed in a week the whole face and outlook of the campaign. In November, the great industrial states, Ohio excepted, cast their votes for Mr. Hughes. After a period of harassing dobut, it was known that Mr. Wilson had been elected by the votes of California, where the blame for an unlooked-for result was put in part upon Hiram Johnson and in part upon the blunders of tho Republican management. A change of less than two thousand votes

in that state would have defeated the party that yielded to the brotherhoods and made the Adamson biU a law. Party prudence and economic safety call now not for yleldlngs, but for the firmest resistance to the demand for running the railroads In the Interest of a class at the cost of the whole people. There must be something more than that. The brotherhoods may sincerely believe in the efficacy of their remedy. It must be demonstrated to them candidly and patiently that they have been badly advised, that the path they have chosen leads to disaster for them and for the country. We trust that the president, profiting by what we have always considered grave errors of Judgment in the course he followed three years ago, will now use his powers of persuasion with the railway men to win them from the delusions that possess their minds. The executive and legislative departments

are giving earnest consideration to the problems of liv

ing cost. That is the surest way to present relief. And the resolve of every American who works either with brain or hand to eschew the dangerous nostrums of socialism and to go about the task of restoring the economic balance by the hard toU ot the greatest possible produorion is thecr waVtPrnmnent3relfarend Jiappiness

AMBASSADOR'S WIFE TRAVELS FAR TO . SPEND VACATION IN THE UNITED STATES!

tween him and the spectre the same

words repeated themselves again and again: "Burled how long?" "Almost eighteen years." "I hope you care to live?" "I can't say." About eighteen years before the story opens, Dr. Mannette, a prominent young physician of Paris, had suddenly disappeared. Everything was done to discover some tr: I of him, but in vain. The loss of hi..- husband caused his wife such anguish that she

resolved to bring up her little daughter in ignorance of her father's fate; and when in two years she died, she left little Lucie under the guardianship of Tellson and Company, to whose care Dr. Mannette for many years had intrusted his financial affairs. Strange tidings concerning the doctor had just come from Paris, and Mr. Lorry was on his way to meet his ward and explain to her tho facts

of her early life. This was a duty from which the kind-hearted banker

shrank, and when he saw the slight golden-haired girl coming to meet him.

his heart almost failed him; but his

task was accomplished at last.

"And now," concluded Mr. Lorry,

Tour father has been found. He is

alive; greatly changed, but alive. He has been taken to the house of a former servant in Paris, and we are going there. I, to identify him, and you to restore him to life and love."

The servant that sheltered Dr. Man-

ette was a man by the name of De-

farge, who with his wife, kept a wine

shop in the obscure district of St.

Antoine. The banker and Lucile were taken o an attic where a haggard white-haired man sat on a low bench,

making shoes, a wreck of a man ob

vious to all around him.

Again was the Channel crossed, and again the old inquiry whispered in the

ear of Jarvis Lorry: "I hope you care to be recalled to life?" "I can't say." Five years later, in the court room of the Old Bailey in London, a young Frenchman was on trial for his life. Near him sat an untidy looking individual by the name of Sydney Carton. With his eyes fixed on the cell

ing, he was unobservant, apparently, of all that passed around him; but it was he, who first noticed the extra-, ordinary resemblance between the j prisoner and himself, and rescued 1 Charles Darnay from the web of de-, ceit which had been spun around him. i Between these two young men, the striking resemblance was in outward appearence only. Charles Darnay was of noble birth; but his ancestors had for many years so cruelly oppressed the French peasantry that the name of Evermonde was hated and despised.

Wholly unlike them in character, this last descendant of his race had given up his name and estate, and bad come to England as a private gentleman, eager to begin life anew. Sydney Carton was a young English lawyer, brilliant in intellect, but steadily deteriorating through his life of dissipation, able to advise others, but unable to guide himself, "conscious of the blight on him and resigning himself to let it eat him away." He and Darnay soon became frequent visitors at the small house in Soho Square, the home of Dr. Manette and his daughter. Through Lucie's care and devotion the doctor had almost wholly recovered from the effects of his long imprisonment, and It was only in times of strong excitement that any trace of his past insanity could be detected. The sweet face of Lucie Manette soon won the hearts of both young men, but it was to Darnay to whom she gave her love. And so that Interview between Lucie and Sydney Carton has a pathos that wrings our hearts. He knew that even if his love could have been returned, It would have added only to his bitterness and sorrow, for he felt he would have been powerless to lift himBelf from the slough of Selfishness and Sensuality that had engulfed him. But he could not resist this last sad confession of his love; and when she weeps at the sorrow of which she has been the Innocent cause, he implores: "Do cot weep, dear Miss Manette, the life I lead renders me unworthy of your pure love. My last supplication Is this, think now and then that there is a man who would give his life to keep a life you love beside you." But dark days were to come. In the year 1789, the down-trodden French

peasantry turned upon their oppres-

with crowds of people whose eager cry was for "blood." Madame De farce no

longer sat behind the counter of her small wine-shop, silently knitting into

ner worK the names of her hated enemies, but axe in hand and knife at her belt, headed a frenzied mob of women on to the Bastile. The French Revolution had actually begun.

Madame Defarge was one of the

leading spirits of the Revolution.

Early in life, she had seen her family fall victims to the tyranny and lust of the cruel nobility; and from that time

her life had been devoted to revenge.

Three years of crime and bloodshed

passed; and in 1792, Mr. Jarvis Lorry

and Charles Darnay landed in Paris,

the former to protect the French branch of Tellson and Company, and

the latter to befriend an old family servant who had besought his help. Not until they set foot in Paris, did they realize into what a caldron of fury they had plunged. Mr. Lorry, on account of his business relations, was allowed his freedom, but Darnay was hurried at once to the prison of La Force, there to await his trial. The reason given for this outrage was the new law for the arrest of all returning French emigrants, but the true cause was that be had been recognized as Charles Evremonde. These tidings soon reached London, and Dr. Manette, with his daughter, Lucie, hastened to Paris, for he felt sure that his long confinement in the

Bastile would win for him the sym

pathy of the French, people and thus enable him to save his son-in-law.

Days and months passed; and al

though the Doctor succeeded in gain

ing a promise that Darnay's life should

be spared, the latter was not allowed

to leave his prison.

At last, came the dreadful year of the Reign of Terror. The sympathy

which at first had been given to Dr

Manette had become weakened

through the influence of the blood

thirsty Madame Defarge. Also there had been found in the ruins of the Bastile, a paper which contained Dr.

Manette s account of bis own abduc

tion and imprisonment, and pronouncing a solemn curse upon the House of

Evremonde and their descendants, who were declared to be the authors of his eighteen years of misery. Charles Darney's doom was sealed. "Back to the Conciergie and death within twenty-four hours." To Sydney Carton, who had followed his friends to Paris, came an inspiration. Did he not promise Lucie that he would die to save a life she loved? By bribery he gains admittance to the prison; Darnay is removed unconscious from the cell, and Carton sits down to await his fate. Along the Paris streets, six tumbrils are carrying the day's wine to La Guillotine. In the third car, sits a young man with his bands bound. As the cries from the street arise against him, they only move him to a quiet smile, as he shakes more loosely his hair about his face. Crash! A head is held up, and the knitting-women who are ranged about the scaffold, count "One." Tho third cart moves up, and the supposed Evremonde descends. His liDs move, forming the words, "a life

you love." The murmuring ot many voices, the upturning of many faces, then all flashes away. "Twenty-three!" "I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord; He that believeth in

me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." Copyright, 1919, by the Post Publishing Co.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK THINGS THAT MAKE A WOMAN GREAT First, it's her gentleness, her all-bearing courage, her open and feeling heart, her desire for Justness, and her broad-thinking mind. And when a woman is a mother, she becomes one of the queens of the race. For no one Quite understands like a mother. But every true woman is beautiful. There is about her an art so well concealed, so well expressed and a spirit withal so quietly modulated, that to be inspired by her qualities ot patience, courage and love Is to be accorded great honor. For these are the things, somehow set apart in a woman's character, that make her great And then there is a woman's intuition, her lnseelng power, which places her among the leaders of time. Her quick, and accurate arrival at essential truths, her sweetened sympathy, her magnificent bestowal ot deserved praise these lift her high and merit her place. There is no human like unto a strong gentlewoman. To such a woman, there could be.no homage too great. For to her there is given by nature a refinement of poise and an intelligence so Ingrained that by instinct alone she Is able to tread her way straight toward the right Wherever there Is suffering," wherever there is need, you will find some noble woman ministering gladly and well. It is the privilege she loves most. No wonder that we think of angels as women figures! At her desk in offices, behind counters, out on the farm, in hospitals, before wash tubs, as teachers or as home builders, the womanliness of a woman serves to prove her greatness and her depth of soul. The things which make a woman great are but the things which she alone most supremely possesses and always will.
