All rights of republication of special dl Vatches herein aral also reserved. til ' Hoover's Warning to Hoarders Food speculators must have read with contern and trepidation the timely warning which Herbert G. Hoover issued a few days ago. His statement was based on an intimate knowledge of conditions in Europe and at home. He believes that speculation on anticipated sales in eastern anct central Europe in the period of the peace negotiations is an important factor in the present high prices of food. Most of as read with surprise his statement that warehouses in north European ports are overflowing with foodstuffs, meats and dairy products. Because extensions of credits have not been advraiced, the impoverished nations

cannot buy the food in large quantities and the speculators face heavy losses. But greater than their financial less will be the destruction of the foodstuffs, so badly needed in starving countries and in nations where prices are exorbitant. Protecting the Public In almost every controversy between public utilities and employes, the public suffers most. When street cars are tied up, railway service interrupted, telegraph systems paralyzed, telephone lines silenced, the people who depend upon these utilities pay tt price in discomfiture and actual money that Is stupendous. Transportation of food, fuel, and the necessities of life ceases when a misunderstanding between the employes and owners arises. Irrespective of the merits of the strike whether employers or employes are at fault the fact remains that the public is made to suffer. Conditions have come to such a pass that the

No disposition to criticise the schools is en-

tertained when we suggest that one of the great needs of our educational program i3 greater emphasis on civics and the obligation of citizenship.

Unless our children learn the principles of ourj governmental system when they are young and! are taught how to participate in the functions j of a democracy, their education has been sadly i neglected. I Our boys and girls will not value the right of j suffrage highly unless they understand what isj implied in the privilege. Clean government willj not come until the voters learn why corrupt gov- j ernment debases the nation and the people who are identified with it. The principles of demo-!

cracy will never develop to their full fruition until they are fully understood and given room for development by a citizenship of honest and conscientious voters. To attain this end the schools can contribute mightily. Strikes and Exports Those who are threatening to "paralyze" the steel industry by a strike, and all who are inclined to support them, should take thought about the effect of such paralysis upon our large and growing export trade in iron and steel, which has even invaded the British home market, says the New York Times. Production has been increasing steadily in the last few months, and about 20 per cent of the output is sold abroad, not only in markets formerly controlled by British manufacturers as in India, where imports from America have risen from the old 3 per cent of the total to 41 per cent but also at the very doors of English and Welsh factories. In May our exports were 447,500 tons and those of Great

Britain only 208,179. The quantity shipped to

foreign consumers rose to 544,580 tons in June. This may be compared with an average of about 250,000 before the war. Prices are much higher in England than in the United States. This was pointed out in the house of commons a few weeks ago by Sir Auckland Geddes. Steel rails were $85 a ton there, he said, and only $50 here; $87.50 must be paid for English ship plates, while the price in America was $70 and British pig iron, at the base of the industry, was sold at $40, against $30 for iron in

this country. A tanit prelerence ot ly per

THACKERAY Twice In his later years did William Makepeace Thackeray seek temporarily another career than that of authorship. Shortly before writing "The Virginians' he tried unsuccess

fully to capture a seat in parliament. Polftlcs had always attracted him. although his temperament was wholly unsulted to popular demands. He was a radical, sympathizing with Richard Cobden in his anti-corn law fight. "I would like to see all men equal," he wrote in 1840. "and this bloated aristocracy blasted to the wings of all winds." He was nevertheless absolutely opposed to any attempt on the part of the people to win their rights by force. His attltudo is interesting: in the light of today's radicalism, as is also his firm advocacy of Ireland's right to have home rule. After finishing "The Virginians," Thackeray became the first editor of the Cornhlll Magazine. His own wide popularity practically ensured -the initial success of the venture. Of the first number 120,000 copies were sold. Tho most distinguished writers of the day were attracted as contributors through the editor's prestige, and the Cornhill furnished magazine readers with better fiction and articles than can be found today in any successful English periodical. Although Thackeray was a good editor in many ways, he was handicapped by too tender a heart. He could not refuse poems and articles, however uninspired and even maudlin, if the writers needed money. Ro a few months later he gladly resigned his position and returned to novel writing.

much power under the present arrangement toj

fore i positive hardships on the people. The public demands tribunals that will hear the grievances without the intervention of a strike or a lockout. The thought is becoming dominant in the minds of the people that their rights are paramount to any quarrel that may arise between the owner of a utility and the workers. The rights

of the people, collectively, are superior to those of a small group of capitalists or workers, individually, a principle for which remedial legislation is asked. Broad-minded leaders of the labor movement are beginning to see the folly of an interruption of production by a strike to obtain redress of grievances and are urging men to stay at work until their demands are heard and adjusted. Owners of plants also are realizing the futility of closing their plants on the slightest pretext. The parties directly interested suffer under hasty action, and the public, which is not directly concerned, is forced to pay a heavy toll. Pupils to Study Good Citizenship Additional instruction in the public obligations of citizens will be offered in the Chicago public schools this year. The coming constitutional convention in Illinois is being used as the basis of the movement. It is an easy matter to criticise the school system. Faults can be found in many departments and in methods of instruction. Too often the men at the head of the school systems are t!ot at fault, but are doing the best they can with the finances placed at their disposal. Often they cannot overcome deep seated prejudices in communities. Often they are hampered by public opinion which is not sufficiently enlightened to grasp their viewpoint.

for an increase of the preferential rate in order that the mother country's undersold manufacturers may be protected. American rails have been sold in England at $7 a ton below the British price, our steel billets are offered there at a larger reduction, and even the local market for the tin plate of Wales cannot be held. The price here is $7 a box, while that of the Welsh product is 58.50 there. High ocean freight rates do not prevent competition, and an English order for 300,000 boxes was recently divided by American and Welsh manufacturers. At the annual meeting of a prominent English company, on the 28th ult., the officers said that America was selling steel there below the company's cost production. This cost has been increased by strikes in coal mines and elsewhere, and by such wage additions as are demanded by those who talk of paralyzing the steel industry here. While paralysis would seriously affect construction work in our own country, it would check a great and profitable export trade. The

changes demanded would so increase cost of production that foreign manufacturers might regain their old export markets at our expense. Here is something for organizers of strike disturbances to think about.

Virginia in the days of Washington's early manhood; Virginia with its vast tobacco plantations sloping to the river; its myriads of slaves; its great estates where, loyal to the King, the master was above all else a gentleman and a sportsman, and the mistress a lady who directed the affairs of her household with the imperiousness of a princess of the blood; a Virginia of stiff brocades, ot" hoops and powdered wigs; a land where hospitality ran free and good wine was never wanting such is the setting chosen by Thackeray for his sequel to "Henry Esmond," the tale entitled "The Virginians." It was a picturesque period In hlshistory, and the author of the novel was indeed daring to present to us in the first pages of his book George Washington, the young Colonial Colonel, who comes hither in his coach from his adjoining estate to visit Madam Esmond, the daughter of our old friend Henry Esmond at her American home, "Castlewood," and there meet her ninteen -year-old twin sons George Esmond Warrington and Harry-War-rington. Hither, also, comes General Braddock. the English commander who expects with the aid of his forces to bring about an end of the French and Indian wars; and in his company is Benjamin Franklin, the Philadelphia printer. Ah, Thackeray had courage to present to us in the flesh these familiar celebrities! But he does it delightfully. We see George Washington, a frequent and welcome guest at "Castlewood," greeting the Widow Esmond with friendship so ardent that her sons, jealous of every attention paid their mother; mistake his gallantry for a tenderer sentiment and are on the point of challenging the Colonel to a duel when they discover their error. Afterwards George, the elder twin by the narrow margin of a halfhour, goes forth with Braddock and Washington into the campaign that costs the English General his life, and in which the King's troops are defeated by the French and Indians. From this disastrous pilgrimage Washington's young aid, George Esmond Warrington tails to return, and great is the grief at "Castlewood." Madam Esmond reproaches Colonel Washington that he should come back unscathed when her son is missing. As for Harry, the loss of his elder brother so overwhelms him that it is deemed wise to send him on a sea voyage to England in the hope of diverting him from constantly mourning the twin he so devotedly loved. Hence we next behold Harry at the

home of his English cousins at "Castle

aunt four days later he has formed a strong frielndship with the Lambert family. Already the memory of the fair Maria is a bit dimmed. Ah, when he reaches Tunbridge Wells what a little world of fashion and corruption it is! Our Virginian has never seen any think like it before. Nor does he see it now with discerning eye The little painted dancer whom the Earl of March has in his company must surely be as beautiful as

she looks; and the men of rank with their gaming and drinking are gentlemen all. in simple Harry's estimation. The fame of the Virginian has preceded him. The tales told of his wealth have rolled up until he has become a veritable prince with gold uncounted, numberless acres of land, slaves, tobacco fields diamond mines if you will. As Aunt Bernstein has spread some of these tidings she begs her nephew not to disgrace her by contradicting them, and therefore what can he do? There is no choice but to live the rich Virginian; spend money freely, gamble as does all the world of fashion; and these things Harry Esmond Warrington proceeds to do. It is not a difficult role to play. All Tunbridge is at his feet. Jewellers, drapers, dancing-masters wait on him. He gambles and wins continues to gamble and win. He becomes known as the "Fortunate Youth." Everything he touches turns to money. But the lad does not become a profligate; there is too fine stuff in him. He is foolish, mayhap; but he is ever an Esmond and a Virginian. Men like him because he is honest; women because he is chivalrous. Again and again Aunt Bernstein tries to break off his engagement to Maria. She even appeals to that lady herself. But Maria will not give up her treasure. A rich and handsome young husband is no easy prize to win. She has Harry's word and she will hold him to it. The Baroness is in despair. She will send Maria home and Harry to London on some trumped up errand or other. The boy has never seen London and what a realm of enchantment it is! The fireworks at Vauxhall; the theatre where Garrick plays to royalty; Dr. Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, and the wits of the day whom one meets at White's or the Cocoa-Tree! What is Tunbridge Wells after seeing London! Harry takes lodgings luxurious lodgings, for must he not maintain the dignity of his family? And he goes to White's in his chair where the

doubt the scapegrace knew all along that George was alive. Had there not been the deepest and most enduring affection between the twins such a state of affairs might perhaps have created a breach between them. As is is they pay no heed to society's cruel tongue. George meets the Baroness, the Castlewoods, and the Lamberts and immediately falls in love with Theo. He also meets Lady Maria, and after telling her that Harry will hare no fortune, that far-sighed worldling breaks off the the match of her accord. It was the money she wanted, not Harry. Our young rascal is jubilant enough to be free and in due time casts in his

lot with the army, going with the Eng

lish to France and later with General Wolfe against Canada. In both these1 campaigns he wins distinction which reinstates him with his former friends. But he has had enough of London. His mother is growing old and he will go to her. He arrives just as the colonies are on the brink of revolution. Madam Esmond is still a stout royalist: but

I Harry, a child of the younger genera

tion, is a Virginian, an American. He joins General Washington, the friend of his youth, and serves under him through the war for independence. In the meantime George Esmond Warrington, dressed in a coat of scarlet, is serving the King In the com-' mand of General Clinton. The two factions clash, but the Warrlngtons contrive to meet and Exchange greetings. Their politics may differ but their hearts are unchanged one toward the other. Eventually George weds Theo Lambert and settles down in the old world, an English gentleman; but General Harry Warrington ends his days in Virginia. "On the library wall of one of the most famous writers of America there hang two crossed swords which his relatives wore in the great War of Independence. The one sword was gallantly drawn in the service of the King, the other was the weapon of a brave and honored republican soldier," says Thackeray.

Russian girls pay $500 for husbands. In some cases, probably, the husbands are worth it, but we remember that only last week an upper New York woman traded hers for a second-hand Ford. H. A. Phinney, calls our attention to the notable fact that there is an attorney at Dennison Ohio, named Brooklyn Bridge and adds that he ought to get a good case across. All of which is remindful of the fact that there is a notary public in New York by the name of Westminster Abbey.

Deportation of Radicals

Frtcn the Indianapolis Star. AT a meeting of states' attorneys, a branch of the American Bar Association, in Boston this week, a discussion of radicalism came up and several speakers advocated deportation, at least of the leaders, as ttte most effective cure. Attorney General Newton of New York, who is counsel for the legislative committee to investigate Bolshevism, told his hearers that there is no fundamental difference between the aims of the I. W. W.s aod the more radical Socialists and the Bolsheviki, or bet-ween their aims and the method of accomplishing them. Jn other words, one will burn and kill and loot and detHroy as readily as the other. The legislative committee in question has satisfied itself of this through its investigations, but most intelligent peie ' country reached the same conclusion some tine ago through general observation. They have not knowii, however, that Bolshevism itself originated in this country, as the speaker declared to be the case. He asserts tluit Bolshevism or the soviet plan of government vas of American conception. The minutes of the legislative investigation quote Lenine as publicly crediting Daniel DeLoon with the fatherhood of the idea. Mr. Newton showed that a large number of the active workers associated witli Lenine and Trotzky in the Russian outrages were educated in radicalism in the slums of Boston and Chicago, the East Side of New York and in the lowest

quarters of other American cities. Trotzky was an agitator and a soap box orator in New York before he went to Russia and carried soviet plans drafted by DeLeon with him. His name is really ternstein, but he changed it "with intent to deceive" when he reached Russia. The New York lawyer ridiculed the charges of prominent radicals that the tendency is to deprive them of free speech. What they call free speech Is anarchistic speech and to permit a foreigner or any one else to indulge in disloyal talk on the street corners is to connive at treason and sedition. The framers of the constitution never contemplated tolerance of seditious utterances. Besides favoring deportation of these foreign agitators who have no intention of becoming American citizens, the lawyers taking part in the discussion agreed that the other means of extirpating the evil is intensive teaching of American ideas in schools. The rising generation must be taught loyalty and love of country. It can be done

' and what is learned in childhood is pretty sure to linger j as a foundation for later thought and to be an influence through life. Now that the American Bolsheviki are bej ing smoked out from their various strongholds and made

to stand in the open, their secret burrowings and Incendiary propaganda will be more difficult for them to manage. But they do need to be watched. We can not afford to regard them with indifference.

Baroness is now old and has lost her beauty she has not lost her money and because the impoverished Castlewoods are eager to inherit the latter they dare not opose her. She will have Harry Warrington welcomed to the home of his- ancestors. Therefore the young American is granted a tardy invitation to the family estate to which his grandfather, Henry Esmond, althouch the rightful heir, waived all claims before emigrating to Virginia. Harry is an ingratiating young fellow and his Aunt Bernstein promptly falls in love with him, urging him to go with her to Tunbridge Wells, a fashionable resort whither she is bound. The shrewd old woman is insistant in her demand for she sees that the unsophisticated lad has already developed a passion for the Right Honorable Maria Esmond, my Lord Castlewood's sister, and a woman more than twice Harry's age. The boy himself realizes his mistake but he is an Esmond and a Virginian, and for such there is no drawing back. Madam Bernstein is not so scrupulous, however. Harry Is young and, as his black sen-ant shamelessly asserts, royally rich. He can do better for himself and the family than throw himself away on a scheming woman who is penniless, and who has none too good a reputation. Indeed there is scarcely one in Castlewood whose past would bear inspection. Even the escutcheon of the Baroness herself is dingy and tarnished. She is nevertheless kindhearted and sincerely fond of Harry and therefore with coach and postillionsr and outriders, and trunks, and servants she bear3 him and his lady Maria away with her to Tunbridge Wells. On the journey Harry is thrown from his horse and his shoulder being injured he is carried into the nearest house which proves to be the home of Colonel Lambert whose wife was an old school friend of Harry's mother. Of course the Lamberts cannot do enough for. the boy. Theo and Hetty, the charming daughters of the family, are never tired waiting on him and when he ridesaway to join his

suddenly his luck changes.

One evening he loses at White's; he loses a second evening, and a third. He plays with my Lord Castlewood (my lord's honor at cards might be challenged) and all his horde of wealth is swept away. Creditors appear. Tradesmen who were servile but a day or two before now become insolent. Presently on returning from an evening party Harry Warrington is arrested for debt and led away to Chancery Lane. It is incredible! The misfortune is, however, merely temporary, he tells himself. Someone of the many friends who have shared his money and drunk his wine will, of course, come forward and go bail for him. He writes to first one and then another. Not one of them will aid him. The Barones sends a proposal that if he will give up his marriage to Lady Maria she will pay his debts and release him from his present embarrassing

dilemma. This Harry refuses to do. i Has not Maria but a moment before i

come to him loyally offering to give him her jewelry and trinkets? Keeneyed woman of the world that she is Maria has not miscalculated the effect of this dramatic action. It binds Harry to her more securely than ever. It is just as Colonel Lambert and General Wrolfe are coming to the boy's aid that a miracle occurs. Into the Jail stalks George Esmond Warrington, the beloved brother who was supposed to have been killed two years before. He quickly discharges Harry's indebtedness and the two go away together happy as1 children. But what a revolution the appearance of this elder brother makes in society's attitude toward poor Harry! He is no longer the favored child of fortune. Debts are nothing every body lias those. Nor is the jail a disgrace. Many a darling of fashion has passed a night there. But to a young

er son: bociety turns up its no3e.J

Accordingly It is George Esmond Warrington who now becomes the idol while Harry is thrust into the hackground. Acquaintances pass him by. What right had the wretch to masquerade as the heir to the Esmond estates? The story of his brother's

rescue from death is a thin one. No

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

ES PRAYER A GOOD THING Prayer is the talk of one's heart asking for something better. And It is always offered to the Great Somebody whom we call God, who is able to grant what we ask. Particular words and fine language matter not at all. For a prayer is the sincerest thing in the world. Uttered to an understanding God, the dross of one's desire i9 immediately melted away. Like fine honey, prayer is the essence of the choicest in one's nature, taken right out of the multitudinous good and bad that wraps the human heart la Its case. A prayer is an affair of spirit and feeling. The greatest prayer ever uttered was probably the one of the publican who merely prayed: "God be merciful to me, a sinner!" It was so frank and honest. God liked that prayef and answered it immediately. When you pray, God is always around. He actually becomes the great desire which you express. You are always great when you pray no matter what you say. or how you say it. And the more you pray the greater you become. The greatest men and women who ever lived, have prayed. Washington prayed at Valley Forge. Lincoln went into a quiet room of the White House and prayed while the battle of Gettysburg was on! Foch was often seen to retire to a little church- where he prayed before battles that shook the world. One of the greatest football players that Yale ever produced. Tad Jones, confessed that he prayed before every important game! Is prayer a good thing? If nobleness and courage and sincerity and cleanliness of thought are good, then prayer must be a good thing for it is the embodiment of them all. There is much about God that is not plain to us, but this one thins you may be sure about that God is what you are when you pray aright!
