Germany Ought to Pay Reparations The opinion held in some quarters that Germany should be allowed to escape payment of reparations, or that the amount should be curtailed to a minimum sum, is meeting with little encouragement among many people of the allied and associated powers. ; It has been asserted that Germany has studiously encouraged the impression that her industrial and social conditions are so deplorable that she will be unable to meet the payments of heavy reparations. While it is admitted that conditions in Germany are far from being ideal and that thousands are near the starvation line, it also is said that this situation presently will be relieved and the country will then be able to resume normal industrial and agricultural pursuits. "Germany is still a perfect industrial machine running at low speed, it is true, but undamaged as yet in its vital parts, and would respond readily to any stimulus," said a British government official who has been studying the industrial and commercial conditions of the Teutons. Exports, for instance, in the first five months of last year were more than double those of the entire year of 1919. Imports to the United States from Germany in eleven months of 1920 were eight times greater than those of 1919. Exports from this country to Germany in eleven months of 1920 were $253,000,000, compared with $92,761,314 in 1919. German salesmen are invading the European and Asiatic markets, offering low prices, quick deliveries and long credits factors that appeal to the merchants of these countries. Big orders for luxuries and manufactured goods are being placed in Germany by buyers from neutral countries and other European countries. A good indication of the revival of industries in Germany is seen in the protests that are arising from some former neutral countries, which are being made the "dumping ground" for the cheap goods which Germany is able to produce. Agitations in Sweden and Holland for duties on German goods reflect conditions there. South America has received large and varied j

consignments of German goods. In the Far East the presence of German goods is reported. It will be seen from this survey that Germany is far from being absolutely prostrate and industrially and commercially unable to undertake the production and financing of business enterprises. These facts are in the hands of the allied statesmen and diplomats and will be con

trolling factors in determining the whole issue of

reparations. A sentimental consideration of the problem will not go far with most of them, as they have a commercial bent of mind that is not easily led astray by propaganda that is not based on actual facts.

! Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON I HIS BUSY DAYS. Now Brother Harding's days are luisy, he has small (hance to rest, or take a joyride in his lizzie, the si)ort he loves the best; for every hour some statesman dizzy arrives to be hi.s guest. All day the garden gate is creating, as statesmen enter there, to do a lot of tiresome speaking and rpringing of hot air; and, though poor Warren's nerves are shrieking, lie has to grin and bear. He signified t hat he was willing tc hear the views of men, and now the Windy Jima go drilling to bore him in his den, expounding, in their language thrilling, the whichness of the when. And Warren oftentimes is thinking of brighter days, I guess, before Renown was busy linking his life with such distress, when in his h hortsleevt-s lie wiis inking hi.? c heap o'd army press. The patriots a-1 day mrround him. and tell him what to U. and of; their yammering ronfound him. and make him sad and blue; and ffice seekers hunt and hound him, and laueh when he says "Shoo!" And as they jabber he is dreaming of brighter days gone by. when approbation warm was beaming from 'Old Subscriber's o, before the whole mad world was s-creaminfe- for pie, and still more pie.

Keep the Public Service Commission With the anti-primary bill laid to rest for a while at least, the next struggle in the general assembly will be on the repeal of the public service commission and the restoration of the old state railroad commission and the right of cities to grant franchises to utility companies. The people hope that the general assembly will not be led astray by the agitation that has been raised against the commission. Fundamentally the commission rests on a sound governmental basis that gives protection to the people. No one seriously believes that the average city council can handle the question of utility rates with the judgment and business acumen which the members of the commission have shown. That power should remain in the hands of the men who have treated the consumers fairly and at the same time have dealt justly with the utility companies. It is true that rates were raised in the last years, but prices of commodities increased during this period, so that the utility companies are not isolated cases showing price increases. And it is also true that when prices return to . lower basis, cities may obtain reduced utility schedules by appealing to the commission for reductions. Why do some city councils want the privilege of reducing rates? Many of us know that under the old franchise system many city councils were controlled by utility companies, who made the election of councilmen their business, in order that they might obtain long time franchises at excessively high rates. The abuses in this connection were causes that led to the establishment of the commission. We believe the city council has all it can do

to attend to the ordinary matters of municipal j h

government without trying to solve utility ques- they

tions. The public service commission is the body ! me choe desin for the Great i v. ,t . I Seal. It probably was suggested by

tnai snouid nanuie ims matter, the "Gentleman's Masrazine." which

had a popular circulation in the Colonies at that time. It first appeared on copper coins in New Jersey in 1786, when copper coins were issued in that state. Argument Two visitors to Niagara Falls have a dispute over the claim

OUR FAULTS

Stevenson, in writing about Whitman, made this comment: "No one can appreciate Whitman's excellence until he has grown accustomed to his faults." Bigness looms and stands out, clear cut and striking, only when it is supported by background. The sun is most magnificent at the ebb of day, when its colorings play among masses of clouds. Grover Cleveland, on being elected to the Presidency of the United States, longed for a living Mother to whom he might write and unburden the thought of his oncoming responsibility. Who would not say that he was then bigger than any of his faults? When we begin to understand people, we can forget that they have faults at all. For the fact remains that none of us is perfect or ever will be on this earth. And if we would be most happy, let us try to overcome our own faults and do our best to overlook the errors of others. Then we will begin to appreciate those to whom we are attracted most. Our faults are legion! We walk among them as in a thicket. But if we are strong in heart, tolerant in mind and silent in most of our comments we are bound to grow inwardly, and, as time goes on, present a fine spectacle of character to the world. When a traveler stubs his toe "on a rock in his path, he either takes greater care thereafter or he picks a path where all the rocks are known to have been removed! But it is best to be alert. We are not always well acquainted with the accidents of fate. So let us remember that we all have a goodly supply of faults and that if we pay too much attention to them in ourselves or in others, we are liable to tempt many varieties of disaster. Let us get accustomed to the faults that are in people and the world and let us try to excuse them all by seeing the good in folks as so much better to look at and appreciate.
