LABOR AT THE PEACE CONFERENCE. Why ehould a peace conference, meeting to wind up a great war, drop the obvious activities connected with that task and busy itself with labor reform? Millions of people must have asked themselves this question of late, on reading the news from Paris. It may be all right, they admit, for the conference to deal with labor problems after its other work is done, but it did not assemble for that purpose. Why take the time for It now? A little reflection, however, tends to the assurance that the peace conference very likely knows what it is about. The plans for International labor legislation, presented by tho Uritish delegation, looking to the establishment of a permanent labor commission working under the Jurisdiction of the league of nations, have certainly not been devised without wise foresight nor taken up without a definite and statesmanlike purpose?. Those delegates resard the labor problem as fundamental and imperative. They see Russia staggering under the incubus of socialism in its most dangerous form. They see Central Europe, and Indeed all the rest of Kurope, not to mention the other continents, menaced by an unprecedented wave of radicalism. This economic unrest grows largely out of the wrong adjustments of labor and capital and the determination of those who regard themselves as uder-dogs to get a fairer share of the world's wealth and power. Uefore peace can be assured for the future, and even before peace can. Le restored for the present the toll

ing masses everywhere must be made ( to; feel that tho war which they have fought and in which they have

suffered so terribly is going to profit them a well as

others. They must be convinced that now and here

;ifter they are going to have a square deal. Otherwise all the line settlements of the peace conference may bo

made In vain and tho governments making them may

be swept away by a wave of proletarian fury. The precedence given to labor is mtant for Justice to labor ii nd for safety for the world.

REORGANIZING FARM EMPLOYMENT. It is all very well to talk of "bringing the soldier back to the land." Hut suppose the soldier balks! As the demobilization proceeds, there is disquieting evidence that the big cities are filling up with soldiers. "The men from the country do not want to go back to the farm after they have sen New York and other big towns," explains an army man. If the men accustomed to farm life will not go back, how can men unfamiliar with farming be expected to flock to the land? Hesides the lure of the city, which appeals likewise to them, there is the natural disinclination to tackle a totally new Job in a nsw environment. Obviously farm work has jrot to b made more attractive If the two great emergencies now confronting the nation are to be met if the farms are Koing to bo made fully productive and if labor is going to be fully employed. The department of agriculture is busy with plans to solve this double problem. Its efforts are along a different line from those of Sec'y Lane. While Lane's department 8ek.s to settle soldiers on new lands, tho agricultural department seeks to place men on farms already developed which lack the single element of

man-power.

It is recognized, wisely, that the first essential in attracting new men to such farms is that their Jobs shall be not of the emergency or .seasonal kind, but permanent places. The men must be employed the year around as they would expect to be in a factory. They must also have good wages. And there must be good housing conditions. In order to attract the most dependable type of worker, the man with a family. If farm work can be reorganized along these lines, it will work a revolution in the farming industry and will be a timelv relief to the overburdened cities.

The Melting Pot COME! TAKE POTLÜCK WITH US

THE BAFFLING FLU SQUAD. MeUos and fright disseminators, who have screamed loud and piteoiisly, may now take a lesson from the '"Ilu sijiiad" resulting from experiments that have recently been made, more baffling in outcome than the wonderful "flu casks' and the clamping on of bans and quarantines, all of which also failed. Naval surKeon., in their quest for a remedy for the epidemic, asked for volunteers to expose themselves under medical supervision. One hundred sailors responded. Then the experiments began. Those "gobs" were made to inhale flu germs. They wive (riven l!u germs to eat and drink. They had Ilu perms injected into their veins. And to the stupefaction of the doctors, not one man so exposed in any of the various ways developed any of the symptoms of the disease. They didn't even "catch cold." If there is any scientific conclusion to be drawn, it is probably this: The "fluM will have none but unwilling or frightened victims. If this is true, the way to dodge the "flu" is to try to catch it, but the naval doctors do not recommend any such practice. As for the hundred foiled flu-seekers, they deserve distinguished service medals just the same. It takes a fine sort of unselfish heroism to do what they did, knowing that thousands of comrades had died of the disease.

Mayor Carson has advanced the best reason of the administration for the erection of a coliseum as a memorial to the county's heroes in the war. That reason is that the people will be afforded sufficient entertainment to distract their attention from the bootleggers the police force does not arrest. Following the mayor's theory to Its logical conclusion. South Bend citizens will not longer be sufficiently amused by the apparently funny efforts of the police to arrest violators of the prohibition law to pay any more attention to them if they have some other form of diversion. "People must have amusement of the right kind." declares the mayor, and he probably believes that to continue to amuse the public with the failures of his police to stop the flow of liquor in the city is not amusement of the right kind. Of course one way of removing this form of amusement would be for the mayor to instruct his police to go after the liquor violators In a serioua manner and in a way that would leave no room for doubt as to the honesty of the effort to make the city a real dry town, but, according to the declaration of they mayor, the erection of a memorial coliseum will remove all necessity of the police being in earnest. The attention of the public will be diverted to other channels of amusement, and the police can go ahead being funny to their heart's content without being noticed by citizen? generally. The mayor admits that the public needs amusement, and he is willing to continue to provide amusement, but he does not want his police department to forever be In the role of official amusement provider. His Honor probably argues that if the public mind is properly entertained. it will not always turn to the police department when in sarch of mirth. Therefore the mayor wants a coliseum built right in the heart of the city so th.-u it will he easy of access to all the people, and where they will be given amusement of a wholesome nature. It is understood that Sen. Harety's new prayer book will be lolnly dedicated to Lieut. Gov. Hush. C. J. C

SOLDIERS IN RUSSIA WELL CARED FOR. To thoie most nearly interested in the condition of our armies in Russia it must come as a great comfort to know that the war department is in receipt of a communication from Col. Stewart who is in command of the troops in the Archangel sector, saying that he has just completed a tour of the wide front over which the troops are scattered, and that he finds the men universally in good condition. Their health Is excellent, their equipment and their clothing and supplies are ample. We have about S.OOU men up there, and thus far deaths have been only 121. The only rigorous living conditions are at the extreme outposts where field life is unavoidable, but by frequent rotation of troops no man is compelled to endure tent or blockhouse life for any long continued period. . There will be the greatest interest in the next fewdays on the action taken by the peace congress, deciding on the policy of further intervention in Kusaia. The subject is one of tho most vital now before us. Those conversant with the situation feel it difficult to make a decision; and since there must be a further period of waiting before further action, it is well that this encouraging information about the condition of out troops stationed there is given on good authority.

LLOYD GEORGE'S PROGRAM. The platform on which Lloyd George was overwhelmingly endorsed in the recent L'rltish elections contained these seven pledges: 1 Trial of the kaiser. 2 JüjlW-st indemnities from Germany. 3 Abolition of conscription in all lands.

4 IJrltain for the British, socially and industrially. I Adequate provision for returned soldiers, particularly for the crippled and physically broken. A square deal for Great Htitain at the peace conference. 7 A happier country for all. With one or two possible exceptions, this looks like a pretty good American platform, too. Americans seem willing to waive indemnities. They are pretty well agreed on wanting the kaiser tried for his crimes, wanting Germany to pay in full for the damage she has done to neighboring countries, wanting militarism abo'.Ishf-d everywhere, wanting "America for the Americans." adequate provision for returned soldiers, a squara deal for American ideals ani a country that will le happier than it used to be for all classes of people not merely the privileged classes. As a result of the definite stand for Justice, international and domestic, taken by the UritUh premier and his fallow -leaders, there Is said to be no bolshevism In Krttrland nothing corresponding to our I. W. W. movement, nothing but legitimate trades unionism in industry. It will probably be the same in the United State if there is a similar policy of fair play toward labor.

ADMINISTRATION' TAX BILL HITS FARMIIRS. (Hy 1Y1U P. Ilruncr.) Indiana farmers are rapidly learning that the state administration has nothing to do with the price of wheat and cotton. During the last campaign the republican organization, when not attempting to obtain the German vote, centered its activities among the farmers. Its only argument was to wave the bloody shirt of sectionalism and declare that th farmer of the north was not getting a square deal as compared with the farmer of the south. Thero can be no doubt that this argument had its effect and many Indiana farmers voted for republican state candidates as well as congressional candidates on the strength of the appeal. The farmers who did this are now reaping their reward in the provisions of the tax bill which the republican organization is attempting to make a law. The bill provides that land, which is the chief asset of the farmer and which cuts little figure in a large city, shall be taxtd on a valuation of 100 percent of its actual value, while intangibles, upon which much big business is based, shall be taxed on a valuation of only 25 percent of their actual value. Thus, a man whose money Is invested in land would be required to pay four times the amount of taxes paid by a man whoso money is invested in bonds and stocks. The state administration is evidently taking this method of showing Its gratitude for the vote of the farmers. It is probable that republicans in the legislature will not be able to carry out their plans to reapportion some of the congrt ssidVial districts in the state in order to make them safe for the g. o. p. Thus far members of congress have not been able to agree on the proposed Gerrymander and in some counties the republican voters are objecting to being placed in new districts. One V)f the plans is to take Lawrence county from the third district and place it in the second, but third district republicans are objecting to such a move on the ground that it might seriously endanger the vote in the third district. The same objection has been made to the taking of Warren county from the 10th district and placing it in the fifth.

tiii: SOCIAL LOBHV. ( InlianaHlis New.) Senators investigating the meat packing industry have "discovered" something in Washington that thoy have long known existed the social lobby. One of the

representatives of the packers is shown to have been a lavish entertainer. He dined members of congress, government representatives and even the president's secretary. When the witness objected to questions about his social activities, characterizing them as unfair. Sen. Kenyon thought that a social lobby was about as effective as a money lobby. Tho old-time money lobby is passing. If It has not already passed. That method was what is known In the language of the street as rough stuff. It Is not now customary for a lobbyist to buy votes, as the packers buy cattle and hops. The same results can frequently be obtained by the lobbyist if he has sufficient capital. Lavish entertainment makes friends. If the lobbyist happens to be In society he. can appeal to the public men through thir ambitious wives and daughters. Social position in Washington is not securely fixed. Leaders come and go. There is constant rivalry and a constant effort to be in the inner circle. Any man who could gain a vantage point and distribute social favors would be- in a position to control votes quite a3 successfully an the old-time boodlers, who p.ld actual cash. Nobody asks for anything definite any more. Nobody Insinuates that a favor should be returned. Friends are made, favors are extended, social recognition is given, and a bond is established between the interests desiring something and thee who can deliver the goods. When the crucial time comes friends stand together. That Is the reason the Interests desire friends. And there is no reason why they should not have friends on a purely social basis. If every man of large business ambitions is to be taboo there will be little friendship or society of any kind left. The thing desired is that political issues be settled on merit, not friendship.

Jly Itacne Anquctil Ilortense "Bartow stood at the far corner of the porch, waving to her husband waving a perfunctory adieu us she had done on almost every work-a-day morning for the past four years. Not that every morning's adieu had been exactly perfunctory, there had been been waves of varying degrees of emotion many In the early months of her married life that were fraught with the "sorry to see you go come back soon" spirit: but It now seemed to

Ilortense that as far backs, as sbe could remember, the act was merely automatic on her part and she wondered how it was with her husband wondered if she were the inspiration of the day's work, as ne was wont to call her the first weeks of their marriage "When I reach the bottom of the hill, dear," he had often told her, "and look back ami up to you, I feel as though I could stride forth and with a strength like unto Samsons, climb the highest mountain peak of tuccecs." But he had never climbed any of the difficult peaks to the sum

mit of success; dear old Hob, he was a plodder; albeit a very very valuable one to the law firm by whom he was employed, and the very essence of methodicalisin in his mode of living, as well as in his mode of work Ilortense temperamentally was the opposite of her husband. She liked dash and vim, and a certain decree of abandon, i-ihe also was 11 years younger and of a happy buoyant disposition; but she realized that of late her buoyancy was dwindling. The daily tasks of homekeeping were beginning to bore her. Even the home Itself, so modern In every way, and so charmingly furnished, began to pall.

She was ncginning to look upon her days as Hat and stale. Yet she ( v.-as not a drudge. .She was an ar- i dent worker in the Red Cross chap- 1 ti r of the town, actlv in various . church and social organizations, mildly interested in politic?, hut the) days were monotonous in their j clock-like regularity, the evenings

were quite as bad. And today Ilor-; tonse felt she had reached the j breaking "point. She just must dot something different or else, in thvcrnacular of the street urchin. I she'd bust." And do It she would. ! Hurriedly she tidied up, humming j a lilting tune as she flitted from room to room, feeling quite gay at ' the prospect of the adventure she J was going forth to seek. Painstal:-1 ingly she dressed In her most becoming frock, her new cape, and ; donning a smart helmet turban, sallied forth Into the city, quite ready '. to grasp the rrst straw of adventure j that blew her way. ( And it came at the very gates of the city itself; for In the station

ne mi an oia aiiiuauiiante; jkirs. Jack Holbroke. "Why Hcrter.se," she remarked, "how very stunning you've grown. I haven't sen you since you married child. Let me take you to your destination," she graciously urged, stepping into her lux-urlous limousine. "Are you shopping?" Hortense was plainly elated. This she thought was a most auspicious lead to her adventure. "No not shopping," she laughed and then quite naively added, 'To tell the truth. I've run away from suburban boredom, just for a day." Mrs. Jack Holbroke Joined In the

merry laugh. "You adorable child into my keeping commit yourself, I'll give you a twenty-four hcur whirl." "Oh! no." protested Hortense." I really must be at home for dinner. Lob always wants me there." 'Then let Lob do without you child. He'll appraise you doubly by tomorrow night. I'm having a small house party nut at my country home juest ran into town on a little business. I'm giving a dance tonUht nnd you're to come homo with me and enjoy youiself. My maid can fix ont of my evening gowns to fit you. You'll be the sensation of the evening" Hortense needed very little urg

ing. She would telerhone to Bob. j Surely he wouldn't object. It asi ages b.'nce she had been to a real . party. Stopp'ng at one of the ultra fash- ! lonable hotels for luncheon. Mrs. Holbroke talked volubly of the dance an tho guests who had been j invited. There are several handsome young

officers among the house guests" she explained, "'so yo'i won't want for dancing partners my dear, or for admirers either," she added laugh

ingly. "Nothing so chocrs a woman! as a nw leve. You'll share tho honors with the very latest divorce J. : my dearest friend Gwenny Alstairs." I All her life Hortense had longed to attend a brilliant army affair, j Mrs. Hclbroke's, she knew would bei

a near approach to on and while Mrs. Holbroke talked of it. Ilortense tingled with joyous excitemen in anticipation of the event. Her adventure she thought, was turninr out highly exhiliratlngly. Just for tonißht she would forget she was married, and enjoy every glorious minute. What mattered a littl harmless flirtation? It all went with the d ince. And Bob need never know. He had such old fashioned ideas about women. But as Mrs. Holbroke continued talking. giving Ilortense little glimpses into the intimate affairs of some of her guests, their cladestino

love affairs, and the latest divorces, Ilortense who never before had had even an unfaithful thought in her heart toward her husband began to

Kfrel somewhat embarrassed, and tho

little white arrow of conscience was plainly pointing to the right road for her to take, the road that would lead her to home. Yet she did so long for the fun of tho dance. Throughout the luncheon however as Mrs. Holbroke talked, the little white arrow loomed bigger and whiter, so big and so white that Hortense finally followed it's lead, and returned home, arriving but a half hour in advance of her husband who was unusually early. In fact she scarcely recognized him in the man who bounded so boyishly into the hall. "I've wonderful news dear," hi shouted throwing his hat up to the ceiling. "There's to be a change In tho firm! Old man Linton is retiring. Fred Linton is to be junior partner and Beb Barton, the general manager!" "Think of it dear! Your old plodding Bob! Isn't it splendid? I counted oft the hours today, I was

so anxious to tell you. I'd har phoned, but for the .ioy of seeing the light of gladness shine in your eye3. What do you think or it dear? "I I'm so surprised," she faltered, "and so very proud of my Bob," Ilortense also was contritely thankful for having followed where the white arrow lead. "Little woman," Bob continued," "It's been dull plodding. I never could have stuck it out but for you, dear, you were my inspiration alwuj's. Your wave of speedwell every morr.lng. Your greeting of cheer at night, and knowing that loving patient heart of yours " "Don't say it Bob don't, she interrupted "I don't Reserve it I oh I'm so happy so thankful I oh, Bob, dear Bob," she cried sobbincly, "take me In your arms aud hold me tight.
