!,The. President's Stand Right

."Maudlin, or, misdirected sentiment and, perhaps eydri less' worthy motives on the part of biased critics; ;are responsible for an outcry against President Harding because he refused to receive and hear the pleas of children and mothers of convicts now serving sentences in Atlanta and other prisons for having obstructed the efforts of the government during the anxious days of the war," says the Cincinnati Enquirer.

"These mothers and children have no business at Washington. All the world will accord them pity, for they are the unfortunate and innocent victims of the seditionists whom the government for its own safety was compelled to shut up' in prison. The disloyalty of these husbands and fathers, imperiled the lives of the brave lads sent overseas, and the spread of their vicious propaganda threatened not only the life

of this nation, but the entire fabric of civilization as well. They remain in prison, where they deserve to be, but thousands of mothers and children throughout the land are mourning the loss of husbands and fathers who lie in the eternal clasp of death over yonder in the Argonne, and in Flanders Field, or in the black abyss of ocean graves. Could these prisoners have had their way, the number of national heroes who made the last and greatest sacrifice might have been vastly increased, and millions of our loyal people possibly enslaved under the barbarism of German imperialism. "We .have no 'war prisoners,' no 'political prisoners.' These men were tried and convicted as common criminals under the administration of President Wilson. And President Harding is right in keeping them where they are. "Anyone who knows the president at all knows how tenderly human he is, and well may

believe that his heart goes out to these innocent children and disconsolate mothers who, under ill advisement, have sought to gain his ear. But anyone who knows him at all also will be aware that the first consideration with the president ever will be his duty to the trust which the nation has reposed in him. In refusing to countenance this 'crusade' the president merely acts in conformity with the demands of the high duty which he owes to the republic." r

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take It," "Up" SOMEONE TO TALK TO While I was living the life ol a boy I used to think of the many strange things that seemed to crop out so often In this little world of ours. Aiid now that I have had the opportunity to taste much of the food of the world, I still think of these same strange things though they seem strange In a different wiy. My greatest longing then was to find someone to talk to. That Is my greatest longing nowl The earth has to have Its soil turned over and over In order properly to produce. I believe it is the same with human beings. They must have someone to talk to often in order to give to their lives richness and strength. I always keep rather shy of secretive people. Somehow they seem to be keeping back something that they do not desire should see the light. On the other hand, I like open-minded people who sort of slide smoothly into my own experience and become a vital part of my own personality. I once met a young chap who had Just come from the West where he had made his home for many years. He hadcome back to visit his old Mother. He immediately engaged me in talk as soon as I had taken my seat beside him. I talked freely with him and enjoyed his refreshing viewpoints, and he told me that he would be glad to get back to "God's country" where you weren't suspected of being a thief the minute you started to talk with a stranger. There are times when we have to talk to someone. Our thoughts get congested in the same manner as our nerves and blood, at times. We must have outlets for our thoughts. We must have someone to talk to. Which brings up an important point that we should have something in our minds important enough to talk about! How great is knowledge. How .fine are the noble Impulses and feelings that keep rising from out our inner experience. How splendid to melt cur bests with the bests of other people.

education, gave France one of its lead

ing statesmen and d i plo mats. The "boy" is now Louis Barthou, minister

of justice deputy' prime minister and one of France's two principal delegates to the Genoa economic conference. Barthou has served his country in many offices, having assumed the duties of premier on several occas

ions paktmou ions. When the "boy" finished his early training his parents actually starved themselves to send him to Bordeaux, where he fitted himself to practice law. That he entered early into France's political life is shown by the fact that he became a member of the chamber of deputies at 27 from bis native Bass

es Pyrenees. He became a supporter of Premier Meline, who was known as an advocate of protection and a friend of the industrial leaders. Perhaps Barthou's most brilliant Achievement was that of getting legislative consent to lengthen the term of military service from two to three years. It was this move which made It possible for France to make such a determined and forceful resistance to the German onslaught in the early days of the war. When war loomed Barthou, awake to the situation, voluntarily faced the thankless task of forcing through the change. Patriotic fervor then had not been aroused to a high pitch. His task seemed hopeless. Ey means of a series of logical persuasive and convincing speeches and the power of his own personality he succeeded in the task. . ' Barthou, normally is quiet and courteous, but when aroused can be vitriolic in his attacks on policies and politicians. His fiery oral attack on David Lloyd George two years ago, in which he charged the British premier with having failed to champion France's Interests, forced Premier Millerand and cabinet to formally disavow the opinions Barthou expressed. He is a lover of music and art.

The Egyptians almost live on the products of the date palm, which supplies oil, wine, sugar, matting, palings, roofs, baskets, bags, fans and a variety of other articles.

No. 170. Stretching a Handkerchief The performer borrows a handkerchief, and. holding It by corners diagonally opposite, twists It into a sort of rope. Drawing cn the ends, he apparently stretches the handkerchief to about twice its length. The trick is largely an optical Illusion. In twisting the handkerchief, the ends are held bunched up in the hands, as shown In "the illustration. The performer pulls hard on each end and gradually pays out the cloth bit by bit, until the ends are held by the finjer tips. The handkerchief Is "stretched" with short jerks, a little slack being allowed after each tug, and an extra twist being made each time to keep the rope shape. Etery jerk seems to stretch the cloth a little more. Byholding the right hand near the chest, and extending the left arm with each pull, the illusion Is made more perfect.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason

NOTHING NEW I saw a girl, a social pet, light up a costly cigaret; she blew the smoke around her head, and mournfully I sighed and said, "Great Caesar! Whither do we drift? These modern women are too swift. I guess I am behind the times; I'm always seeing sordid crimes and vicious customs, all day long, where others notice nothing wrong. But in the old days gone to seed, no women used the Filthy Weed." I make such statements off the reel; I always like to make a spiel of dear dead days beyonirecall, when sin was not on earth at a. But when I sit me down to think, I find my spiel was on the blink. The women of the by-gone years were wedded to the pipe that cheers. My grandma had an old clay pipe, and smoked a weed that smelled like tripe. The housewives used to blithely puff; when tired of smoke they tackled snuff; I see them smoking in a row, and slinging gossip to and fro. An old clay pipe is worse, you bet, than any modern cigaret. . My moral feet are always cold, such sinful customs I behold! Yet ever when I look behind, and call old customs back to mind, I see that granny put up grass just like the giddy modern lass
