DOING WITHOUT LUXURIES. As a ptcp toward retraining financial equilibrium an4 credit Franc proposes to ban the importation of luxuries. Articles of food, clothing and adornment that ar not necr-ssltioK, hut come under tho heart of luxuries, are to be forbidden. Tho nation will perforce resort to plain living. Such necessities as coal, cotton, -wood and machinery yM b permitted to be bourht abroad, but only in such quantities as are absolutely required for the needs of the people and the rehabilitation of Industry. The purpose appears to be two-fold: To foster home production of n-ewslties and to prevent wasteful spending for luxuries that Eatlffy no need and contribute to the unrest of thoe who would be denied them were they permitted. "Without doubt France In under the necessity of practicing economy. The finances of the povernment are in deplorahle share: as the. unavoidable result of what she suffered for more than four years. To cut out tho tincEscntlals in living until somo measure of tability Is restored Is tho dictate of common sene. But euch a course is not all of profit. In banning entirely a fixed list of Uixurie?, as is proposed, the government will lose whatever revenue might have been Cerlved from such importations. Thus In a nvasure the national treasury will suffer from the method adopted to replenish It. France, In common with other nations, had her var profiteers. Such will go elsewhere, doubtless, to acquire the luxurlea that their gains, wrung from a sorely tried people, make possible. Thus the measure will to somo extent defeat its own purpose by driving the ppendcrs rleowhere. No doubt all such x has.es cf the matter havn been considered by the I'rench government authorities. That Fuch reasons have not been potent to pfrmit foreign trade to pursue its c-rdinary course is conclusive that, in the estimation of tho government, plain living on essentials only will do mor to restore, tho morale and financial stability of Franco than any other coursB that could adopted. 7t is a homely recipe, yet just the one that an individual In llnanci.il straits would adopt. It may prove as effective for a nation.

NOW THE APPELLATE COURT UPHOLDS US IN FAMOUS CASE. The famous case of Rhinehalt vs. Rhlnehalt out of which prfw the contompt proceedings against the editor of The News-Times, has brought another jolt down for the former judge of the superior court, from the higher courts of the state. The court's findings In the contempt cas? were- reversed something ever a year ago by the t-upreme court, and now comes tho appellate court holding exactly as the article hld upon which the contempt proceedings were based, that the Judge at that time was "untutored In the formalities of Indiana law." Tho proceeding was a suit for divorce which had been granted with an allowance for alimony. Counsel for on of the parties had gonn into court and ajsked for a change in the allowance, whereupon tho other party aeked fur a chanso of venue from the judpe. Tho Judgo refused to grant tho change, after a manner somewhat brusque, ns was hi? autocratic custom, and The News-Times In an article reporting it, filled to reverence the decision to the Judged liking. Ilenco the contempt r-rooetvllncs which f "li flat peon na they reached the supreme court on appeal the article having been published after the decision was made despite th appearance of the court'? docket; a docket very evidently doctored for contempt purposes. Now In a decision on the appeal to the appellate court from the refusal to grant the change of venue, crltiriyd by The News-Times alitor, his criticism is Justified en the ground of his having told the truth, when he &aid "ther. was nothing else for tho court to do but to grant the change. It was hoped to get a decision on .at point on the appeal In the contempt case, to establish the truth of the publishc-d nrtic'.e, but th supreme court ignored the point, basing its decision on publication after the opinion crlticisd had bon finally rendered Shame on ye editor, we vlV; hame on him. that he should assume n te!l a Jud.ce what the law is. and to right abeut It. We decline to Rive the name cf the Judg'N He n tired to privat lifo long affo; omehow the people didn't seem to take to his process of Ingratiating himself uron them by "punishing editors." In him rep c so in the tweet political oblivion to which it consigned h!m.

THE GREAT CONSPIRACY: Unwarranted perscnal abuse sooner or later reacts upon Its authors. It is only a question of when tho campaign cf envy and hate that has bt-on directed against Prts't Wilson by his foes and their organs recoils with crushing effect upon the heads Cf the traducerr-. Thero are tigr.s that the reaction and It I bound to be thorough and merciless will toon be in full force. To begin" with, the country is shown to bo cold toward the republican caiuliwV.ori. where spontaneous sentiment was xpected vast sums of money have had to be expend d to create anything like a ving for the aspirant. Tho attempt to create

the lmpre&sion that thi-s Is a "rer-ubiican year" blew up the moment the candidates of the petty went btfore th country. The vendetta of th republican of the enate agiUr.st Wilson, and for no other reason than that the brilliancy of hla work would mean a high place In history for a democrat unless he could bo "broken," has produced distrust and wrath amon the people. They are coming to realize, from moves made In the lenate to "lnterf ere In the politico ef Europe or to have our flghtln? forces sent to preserve the Integrity of new täte, that the talk of having to annul certain provisions of the treaty to "Americanize" It and keep us out of foreign affairs was only a blind for a plot to ruin Wilson. Who believes at this late day that the member of the vendetta ever had any regard for the treaty? They disclosed their pr.lrtt before the pact was formed by getting up a "round robin" Indicating that they would be aajalnst anything done by Wilson or favored by him. Natural abhorrence of such miserable tactics, and particularly when they are employed against a man who has done aa much for the people as Wilson has. must soon have the country Btlrrinff with protest and condemnation. Th propaganda against him Is of Just the samo "strong arm" nature as the efforts to manufacture favorable sentiment for the republican candidates. When tho extent of tho conrplrecy to break him for dsrlng to do Mmethlng for humanity Is realized by the people for whom h: has sacrificed his strength to th utmost they cannot remain silent. The reaction will not be delayed much longer. It Is not In the nature of a people so intelligent and honorable to stand by and se a friend done to death or his record blackened simply because he did something great for them. Gratitude as well as manliness assures that those responsible for the plot " ill not escape.

ADVERTISING AND ABILITY. They have cut down the size of theatrical posters in Taris, owing to the paper shortage. As a consequence, stars and headliners are campaigning and protesting to have the measure revoked, on the ground that "if a star is not advertised In large type Fhc is no better than a chorus girl." It is evidently too true that many stara and they're not all at present in ParLs, either are no better than chorus girls, although they are advertised in large type. Iiut surely it Is rather a damaging admission for an actre to make that it Is type and publicity, measured by inches and lines, rather than ability, that form the basis of her standing. Probably it never occurs to the real "four-flusher" in any profession or calling that the way to success is by ability and effort. Paid puffs can make anybody known, but poster type never made anybody brilliant. And the "stars" might take a moment off and think to themselves that, if a star who is not advertisod In large type is no better than a chorus girl, it may naturally ho assumed, conversely, that there may be chorus girls in any company who would, but for the lack of hip; type, be in the star's place

Other Editors Than Ours

"as cxrnnits see rs.M (('eonro Ray. Ili-Comlot and Drunken Sot, In Ms 'IVcvr-Guizlexr' Heruld, Indianapolis.) Wo spent last Thursday and Friday in good old South Bend but It rained hard both days and that forced us to take It easy and talk more politics than usual. The democrats are showing up better than they were a month ago when we. were there. A full list of candidates is in the field and in most cases several aspirants arc after the same nomination. Even Charley Bailey has opposition for sheriff, which was not expected a month ago. Thererare two candidates for prosecuting attorney with the chances favoring Samuel Feiwcll by reahon possibly of the fat t that his opponent, Mr. Schock, is a brother-in-law of tho present prosecutor, Mr. Swartz, who declined to ßfvk renomlnatlon owing to an unpopular situation surrounding him by reason of the policy of the News-Times. The newspaper Is conducted along peculiar lines politically, as, for Instance, it never see.s anything In democratic politics outside of "booze" and prohibition. It is fighting Sen. George Y. Hepler for congress In tho 12th district, who resides In St. Joseph county and who stands high for tho rtason he is not a prohl. The News in for Ralph Smith of Lap orte, who Is a prohl. Thus It is fiRhting a home candidate which is always bad politics and In Jures the party's prosr ects. Every good democrat in South Bend openly admits that proposition and the paper is entirely out of joint with the party leaders. Many of the boys are afraid to express their opinion to the i ubllsher, but they all talk to us and none approve of the policy under which the News-Times Is published. We forget the name of the editor but have been told be was always a republican up In Michigan, where he r-.sided before landing in South Bend, and he looks it. too. as we observed him in the Oliver hotel iato Thursday night. He had Just returned from his residence, where a "cottage" service had been he'd. The cottage servico idea has not yet reached Indianapolis, but is on In full blast in South Bend hs.ch. as usual. Is ahead of Indianapolis In everything. Personally we care nothing about the policy, or tho editor of The News-Times, but often we permit good democrats to use the Herald as a medium through which to express themselves. For the first time we had the pleasure of meeting Mayor Frank Carson. Asst. Chief of Police William Cassidy and Chief Kline. And we found out through Hon. George Sands that William Cassldy wrs a real democrat and we visited police head quarters to meet him and sure enough he had all the signs and pass words evfr used by the party. Mr. Cassidy has been In the department for "S years regardless of his well known politics. We told Mayor Carson that he had many elements of a democrat and he ought to bo one and run for governor. H is a broad-guaged gentleman, liberal in his views of public affairs, hat good intentions, is in full sympathy with those who believe in human rights and is, in fact, making a good mayor. The city shows It. And when we say that we fully appreciate the Idea that some people rever think a mayor Is a "good mayor unless he does everything1 they want done and drive forward with a steam roller every day through the streets and alleys riding over people who do not agree with him. A real mayor of a city like South Bend should recognl2e its homogeneous population in all respects and not become a czar behind blue law theories of local government. Between showers we pot around town a little, bought 20 pounds of cane sugar, saw our Irish patriot and Comrade In Arms Patrick Houlihan, the well known criminal lawyer and general counselor. Sen. Charles Hagerty, Charley Bailey. Roscoe Trux. Thomas Williams, the plumber, who Just returned from a six weeks' trip to California. Ho is a member of tho board of county commissioners and a very popular democrat. We met City Judge Gilmtr, City Clerk Frank Bilineki. Elmer Peak, George Sands. Fred Hose, Jay Boot and ethers. Of course, we met Sen. George Hepler. who is a candidate for congress in the 13th district and who deserves the nomination and who can be elected beyond doubt.

More Truth Than Poetry By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

OUR POOR GRAND-DADS. Our grand-dads knew nothing of values of food. No technical training in diet they had. They usually ate it because it was good. And frequently ate it although it was bad. Returning at nightfall from pushing the plough. They loaded abroad a prodigious amount Of beef that was culled from an elderly cow. And never kept track of the vitamine count. Of salts, carbo-hydrates and granular fats, And calory content their knowledge was nil, They ate in their shirt-sleeves and kept on their hats. And all they demanded was food that would fill. They didn't know nitrogen lurked in tho beans Thej' piled on a knife, while they reached with a fork For a thundering bundle of smoking hot greens They meant very shortly to eat with their pork. Though the protein value in sawdust Is small. And pie holds a rather surprising supply. That wasn't tho reason they ate it at all, They ate it. dear reader, because It was pie. Untrained and untutored they cleaned up their plates. Without any terror of ptomaines and such. Though often, I fancy they tempted the fates By crowding their tummys a littlo too much. Alas, for our grand-dads. if only they'd known What awful afflictions a person can get. From diets whose fallacy scier.co has shown They might be around here to dine with us yet, But little they recked of the dietists lore They never ate right, as their grandchildren do, A fact that we ail of us ought to deplore. For few of them lived past a hundred and two. As Old Dick Crocker Might Say. How sharper than two serpents teeth it is to have two thankless children.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

Facts about your name; Its history; Its meaning: whence It was derived; Its significance; your lucky day and lucky fevre!. BY MILDRED MARSILVLL.

ROBERTA. Roberta, the charming boyish name signifying "bright fame," is one of tho many examples of feminine names coined directly from the masculine cognomen, Robert. Though Robert can be clearly traced, there is no record of the evolution of the feminine and it can only be deduced that some parent, disappointed at tho birth of a daughter, bestowed the family name upon the girl-child and added the final "a" as a concession to the sex of the infant. Roberta has a charmingly poetical heritage. Her counterpart appears in the most famous pastsaes of England's early history. The origin of tho name was in "red" which accounts for the translation of "bright." Curiously enough, Roberta was popular in Italy after being rejected by England, before its voguo in that latter country became so great. One of the wild Dukes of Normandy brought It back to England and numerous earls and nobles seized upon it. establishing its voguo permanently.

The dearly beloved Robin Hood, :

whoso deeds are recorded in English ballads, did much toward mak-! ing it popular. Robin was the epithet by which Queen Elizabeth addressed the two earls, tutepson and stepfather, who sunned themselves in her favor. Robert of Bruce was the national hero of Scotland and Roibln lawless was a favorite Irish character. Roberta is essentially American, J though the contraction, Bertie,! which is the endearment for several I

other names as well as Roberta, has the real Yankee sound. Roberta's talismanic stone is the sapphire, which is said to guard her from danger and disease, Tuesday is her lucky day and 7 her lucky number. (Copyright. 1920.

In domestic matters a like government should rule, as annoyances and disappointments are presaged.
