PREPARING AND LIVING. The woman' pae of a daily paper dealt p: lTii?th v-!t ihf; best w'ty to prepare a house to mak.hou.Mokeopir.jr easy In the summertime. The 'lirecttior.s roverr (I everything from attic to cell a, including stuffing the rrack.s around the hookcasc door Avith ra'-s or papers to keep out tao dut,t Carefully followed, they meant days and j-osbiMy veeks of arduous labor. When all is said and done, tho only way to make things easy Is to take them eay. A long, laborious process t preparation merely mean-: that tome one is worMr.'s all the time, and the period of leisure for wliich the sreut prepartion is made never comes. A little dust on a book dees no great Harm, but what "will rep?Jr the wearied body and the aching nerves which overdid to prevent th.it book frm accumulating a little dust? IionK a;TO tome tad-faced kill-Joy propounded the theory that man .-hould be prepared to die, fiui immediately a host of people cea'd to regard theii daily duties from the normal standpoint of life and measured all their act. by the guesteü-at ttantlards of kingdom come. Then a newer prophet arose anL declayd that It is not dyintj, but living, that concerns us, and the question is, "Arc we prepared io live?" Both wore wron;r. The re.il question is. are we living? Are ve getting the air and sunsnine and the joy of life which are our portion, or are we endlessly preparing to? Tx-t a little dust accumulate on the hooks! One waft of the duster will dispose ot ft, -when the cool days of fall come. Pane: the dek iid, and 'ot out into the open! People who spend auch time tttim; ready to live generally die early and miss all the fun FINANCIAL FRIGHTFULNESS. The famous billion dollar indemnity Imposed on France by Trussla In 1S71 has certainly come home to roost, bringing a bi brood with it. Germany is obliged to pay the allies 20 times that much within the next rive years- After that there will be many more billions, the precise amount beinp: determined by Germany's ability to pay, over a period of 2ü years. The additional indemnity may amount to more th-n 20,000,000.000. What the Germans are now concerned with, however, is the sum immediately payable. And In crder to raise it they are confronted by a program which can be described as nothing les than financial frifihtfulness. Never has there been anythlnc like it, any more than there was ever anything like German military i rightfulness. Tho present government is preparing "levies on capital" which constitutes literal conliscation. The plan contemplates raising 22,500,(00,000, ivt by t.'xin income, but by the seizure of property, real and personal. The amount bought Is as unprecedented as the means of seeking it. Possessions under 11,2.10 will not be touched, save ty ordinary taxation. Above that r.gure the rate of seizure 1?? progressive, rising from 10 to : per cent. The latter rate applies io properties of T'o.000 or more. Thus a man owning $750,000 will have to fcurrender about $.100. Ooö of it to the state; a man v ith $3.000,000 must give up $2.'00,0On ot it. etc. The plan, if formally adopted by the German parliament, will become effectiv as rapidly as the properties can be liquidated. It will take half of all the wealth of the rich, an 1 one-third of all the wealth of Germany. And that is only a start toward discharging the debt to civilization incurred ty this crazy, criminal war of conquest. "What a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

ALEXANDER HAMILTON REPORTS THE FIGHT AGAINST THE LEAGUE Ol' NATIONS. (By Claude G. Howers.) Alexander Hamilton knew the breed that is now engaged in the task of capitalizing- all the prejudices, born of anti-American feeling or of ignorance, against the peace treaty negotiated by Pres t Wilson to his lasting renown. The same breed existed in the days of Hamilton, asserted itsrelf by almost the same methods against Jay and hi treaty, and insulted and hissed the name of Washing-ton precisely as Wilson's name is now hissed in some quarters and insulted. And Hamilton had his opinion of this breed anu its methods, and happily expressed himself in language that applies perfectly to the situation of today. Does this not remind you of the breed of today: "It is only to consult the history of nations to perceive that every country, at all times, is cursed by the existence of men wno, actuated by an irregular ambition, scruple nothing which they imagine will contribute to their own advancement and importance. "It was to have been expected that such men, counting rr.ore on the passions than on the reason of their fellow citizens, and anticipating that the treaty would hae to struggle with prejudices, would be disposed to make an alliance with popular discontent, to nourish it. and to press it into service of their particular views." Evidently the putrid professional politician has no changed greatly since he attempted to befoul the name of Washington. If one single sentence has been uttered against the League of Nations no intended as an appeal to prejudice from the lyingassertion that Pres't Wilson could have forced the recognition of Irish independence to Lairy Sherman's solemn warning that the lea-guc ia .sinister because the pope will dominate it, wo have not seeu It. Rut Hamilton goes on: "It was also known beforehand that personal and party rivalshlps of the most active kind woald assail whatever treaty miSTht bo made, to disrce, if possible. Its organ." And so party rival-ships were busy to discredit "Washington as party rivalshlps are now busy to discredit Wilson. Trying then as now to "disgrace, if possible, its organ." Verily we should hae felt 'very much at home in Washington's -lay. liut Hamilton evidently knew tome Lodges and Reeds in his lime for he says: "Upon such an occasion as the treaty, how could it happen otherwise than that personal enmity would be unusually busy, enterprising: and malbj- 4 nant?" , It is clear from the following that Hamilton from his knowledge of Washington's experience could have warned Wilson of opposition to the ratification of his league: ! "From the combined operations of these differenv causes, it would have been a vain expectation that the treaty would e trcnerally contemplated witii candor and moderation, or that reason would rfulate the first impressions concerning it. It -.v ascertain, on the contrary, that however exceptional its true character might te, it would have to light its way through a mass of unreasonable opposition." How amazinsly the stories correspond. Just take, this from Hamilton: "Refore it was published at large, a sketch, calculate! o produce false impressions, was handed out to the pub'.ic through a medium noted for hostility to the administration of the Kovernrr.cnt." A perfect description of the interminable speechej against the league in the t-enate before it was. even given to the world. And it seems too, that some, correspondent of tome rhicapo Tribune turned over to some Borah und Lodge an uncompleted or false copy of the treaty, -and that it was given out then aa the other day 'through a medium noted for hostility to the administration." Rut the parallel is not complete. Take ihis: "Emissaries flew through the country, spreading alarm ar.d discontent; the leaders of clubs were everywhere active, to setze the passions of the people, and prc-occupy their judgments against the treaty." Haven't we had Eorah, Lodge. Johnson. Reed Watson. New. Hearst, TJeck. Bii". Thcmpscn and Hilly Mason rlyintr thro'Jgh the country spreading alarms and discontent? IUcn"t some of the leaders of clubs, such as some of the professional politicians' racial clubs been busy seizing on the passions of the people anc! encouraging hists to the president at Madison Square Garden.' Hasn't the Morton club brought Borah, the man who "wouldn't follow Jessua Christ," to Fort Wayne? And the motive then appears lo have been the same as now: "It cannot be doubted that th teal motive to the opposition was the fear of a aiscu-sion: the desire of excluding light; the adherence to a plan of surprise and deception. Nor need we desire any fuller proof of the spirit of party which has stimulated the opposition to the treaty than is to be found itj the circumstances of that opposition. ' The best evidence that the present opposition fears X-ublic dbscussion is shovn in two was: First, hv its present anxiety to do something deimie upon the league as quickly as possible to prevent ihe president from discussing it before the people, and second, ty its queer disposition to oeclinc the presidents offer to discuss it before the foreign relations committee of the senate. Wj wonder if iren. Lodrfe. in the preparation of his Life of Hamilton. ca-e across this splendid description of the conspiracy of which the man from cold beef Boston ü the ringleader.

Board of Safety Now Seeks to Clear Its Skirts Organ in New Confession Makes Bo&

Hist! They're investigating. The board of safety whatever that means. has called in the "cops" a?ain to get their confessions and give tht-ni orders. Quiet now. What tho.-e confessions are. aid. the orders, are to be interminable msteries FrinstintJ! Take the "cop" whom, 'us said, vas found with im auger, snooping about as if intent on boring his way into the "bull pen.". That is the reason, we suppose. that they nave sealed it up with cement to keep the "cop.V from finding oi:t how much there isn't left, anö. what pioportion of it Is sweetenefi water. Then thete is that "pump. The bo. -id of .safety must need:; as-.r'ain who 't.vas that us-rd the "pump" They must know too. now many of the police hae violated that former order of months ago that none ef llieio consult with anyone about particular cases the prosecutor es pcclully or make any arrc-.tr without Thief Kline's special orders. Will the police chief i e investigated for loss, or lack of service of that Nicholson warrant: the loss of the warrant for the man who has been taking police olficers for midnight "joy-rides ' in stcden automobiles? Have they probed hif. loss of the Billy Myers warrant, or his refusal to go to Plymouth to make ip arrest because a reward had bee 1 paid to the Plymouta marshal? And the Barrett and Ward liquor! Oh ye, somebody took the bolts off the ' bull pen" doors tc execute those mysteries. The goat! The police are so rottm. top to bottom, and the "higher uns" the worst, that you ran pretty near bet your last copper that an one who accents the assi-mmc-nt of "goaf will well enough paid to seal his lips. The department U too thoroughly permeated with corruption tadmit of any actien that would encourage anyone to squeal. The administration w t'.l fight against lhat as energetically as it has fought against the giving up vi the Zimmer-üambacher liquor. Which reminds us that even the administration's ex organ is coming closer and closer to it. It will be denouncing the - ity's onduet in the Zimn.er-Dambachei affair right shorlh if it keeps up the pace. It can't very consistently continue its course, shielding the department in this, the natural consummation of the

other cui-sednesoes that it readily admits. Once forced into the (pen, as it was last ,ttuiday, l.y our chastisement of its hypocrisy. It has been coming along very nicely ver since, showing a good faith that was hardly to be expected Yesterday, for example. It ravj up this one: 'T'le sale of wIiIskv in South Bend in iolation of ihe state and federal prohibition laws is a crime an J an evil for which th-i responsibility is single and i;iesicapable. The prosecuting attorney, an oiheer of the state, is dependent upon the city police force for raiding places where liquor is sold and for the production of evidence; he is not empowered to employ an investigating force of hU own and .'f he does so it must be at his own expense. So we have the state depending upon the municipality for enforcement of state law. But the police force- telonss to the executive department; it is re sponsible to the mayor, through the board of public safety Therefore, if whisky is sold in South Bend flagrantly the lault is the mayor's and the people have a right to hold him to answer for it." That rings absolutely true as far rs it goes. It should go on now and condemn the inability ef the prosecutor to depend upon the police department; that it iä hampering- and embarrassing him whenever and however it can worse still, quite appatently, with the administration's advice and protection, even b resort to ihe delays of the courts. The Zimine r-Dambaeher casis only an incident; perhaps the most glaring of incidents, and a logical culmination. The; administration had merely become bold enough, in its assumed security, and bad enough, in its anticipation of non-moh station, that it thought it could put over anytiünp and get by with it a-i it had with everything else. The adniinistraLon's ex-organ, we say accordmglv, is coming very nicel ; getting from under, perh ips as last a can be expected, having permitted itself to become burled so deep. It is only elcing now what it should have: done a year ago, or nearly so, when we first put it good and wise to the corruption and immoral conditions Vhlch it was shielding. It luiht as well make a clean breast of it; admit the corn. The board of safety Investigating! Huh! U needs to be investigated, wc fear, instead.

-s The Business World of Girls ItJdt By Winifred Black

What in the world is the matter with all the stenographers'.' I have had five letters from stenographers this very day, and they are all saying such queer things. One writes: "Please tell me what should be the proper attitude of a stenographer toward her employer." One writes: "Is it correct for a Rtenogmhper to go to lunch with her employer if ?he knows that his wife doesn't want him to take her?" One writes: "When I meet my employer in the street at noon, or any time, he look? the other way and doesn't s2)ak. What ought I to do?" One writes: "If a man swears in the presence of his stenographer, what should she do about it?" And the last one wants to know "what a girl should think if her employer speaks of the way she dresses and tries to get her to wear a different kind of clothes?" What has happened to all the
