WHITHER IS DEMOCRACY HEADED? Th movement In tlu renate. predicting a coalition between tho miKl antl-WllFon democrats under S'en. Oscar Underwood, new minority leader, and t!:r Lodfff reerv;itinriiU, ;i ppan ntly calculated to coerce the president into rcMibmlssion of the Paris treaty with promise of :irecp!ane of the "coalited" terms "f rat ifirat ion f tif Iaci'' of Nation.. i th mrt ominous thin today hovering at the political horizon. It will tnar a distinctly new democracy In America, peihap cf neei-Ity under a n w nam-. lat a democracy that is forward loo. .rm, ratlicr than backward looking, and a democracy with a virion rather than blindness. There are millions of democrats, followers of "Woodrow TVilson, who if they iTiust surrender to the republican antl-Wllson-irn, are likejy to ?o it one better, and surrender a!.o their affiliation with tho.-e democrats whose weak --pines, and quest i'r post otfice.s, nnd demands for "fostmasterittl" campaign rontriV'utions. seems to be the main thincr in provoking the Underwood movement to retitx action. The republicans will meet in Chicago in mid-June und 10 clays later th democrats will meet in Pan Francisco. The future of both the democratic nnd reptibllcan parties will depend much upon the platforms put forward in thoo conventions and the candidates put at the head of thoe tickets. The republicans will repudiate Hi Johnson, nbout the only man on tne republican side of the senate honest enough to make- a distinctly anti-Leapue fi?ht. and will announce itself for a Ieasrue of Nations "with reservations" hypocritically framed to feign "rrotection to American interest. " but rfally Intended to put the Leaguo by uch indirection exactly where the Callfornlan would put it ly tliroctlon out of business fo far ns the United States Ls concerned. The democrats have already forced Sen. Hitchcock to step aside in the senate, where he has stood like a stsne wall for Pres't Wilson's policies, and there are indications that h's successor, hen. Underwood, reinforced by Vice Pres't Marshall and William Jenrilnca Bryan, are intent upon repudiation of the president, not only on the floor of the senate, but at Hnn Francisco, ar.rt that a platform will be put forward practically the like of that proposed by the pr. o. p. Such a consummation bodes anything but pood to the republicans or democrats either one and w-e rpeak of the democrats especially. Democracy thould rememb-r this year that 1.r.00.000 former bull morers, the real progressives of the bull moose movement, voted for Woodrow Wilson in 1316. and with the democratic party, and mainly because of Woodrow Wilson. That army of 1,000,000 oters which really re-elected him in '10. tand- today shoulder to shoulder among: the president's staunchest su pporters; stands with him. by him, and for him, from principle, not from party, and any repudiation of the presldei.t by the democratic r.arty. on this IeaRue of Nations business, will mean the desertion of the party by ju.-t that many IMG followers at least and we dare say a great many more. The backward lookers to JeftVrfon. Jackson and Cleveland, unab'e to sere th changed conditions since their time, the new problems that have arisen, and tho necessity cf improved processes of dealin? with them, may be able to control senates and conventions, repudiating the party's Kader, but they will r.ot be able to control Iiis followers; may be able to lead the horse to watr but they cannot make him drin k. Neither is it necessary to desert the fundamentals of democracy ita adhered to by Jefferson anil JackFon, in order to keep up with the times. Fundamental democracy, even of the most virulent Jet'fer.onifin sort, never anticipated standinpr htill on tho?c fundamentals. The people can do what they please with their povernment. centralizing it or not. at their will, find expanding or contracting freedom as they choo?c. Mr. Jefterson wrote it into the Declaration of Ir.def T.dence himself that "whenever any form of government becomes destructive" of T.fe. liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as the people ee it, "it is th rUht of th' people to alter or abolish it. nnd to Institute a new povernmentj layIn fr its foundation on such principles, and orp inizin? its powers In such form." as they may see fit. That is democracy. Toave it to the p epic under such systems of govcrnrmnt as they may set up. This Is a rer resontative democracy. Neithe r Jefferson nor Jackson favored fuch a Simon pure democracy for America, as they have In fwltzerland, and the very democrats who are yelling for a return to what they call Jeffersnism nnd Jackionism. are the farthest in the country from wanting direct democratic action as a governmental system. save perhap on the 18th amendment. The gentleman who presides over the senate, the minority leader on the floor. the Wuttersons. Harveys, etc.. over the country, miht well be careful of how thty p' ly with thi inti-Wj'?on f.re. The J.; trip from Wilon to in Johnson H a considerable jimp; iut as far as from a real Lea sue of Nations to r.o Lenpue of Nations, but there are a lot of people ready to follow a ral Lcisvie who would rather
Zli&ke the vh.lc jump, than fall half way between
jnto a lo'Jt;h of pro-iepublican, reactionary-democratic compromise oluah.
IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR SAVINGS. It is reported that since the armistice 2." 0.000 natives of Europe have emigrate from this country tnd that 1,1 2. 000 more will jjo whr ocean transportation is available. Although immiRTation is increasing", the influx 1 not exrecttd tö equal the txodus for come time anj the loss of labor is greater than mere njrures Indicate for the reason that 60 percent of those coming in arc women. The effect of emigration on Indutry is not the worn effect of the movement, howvr, according to New York bankers who hav made a itudy of it. They say that the flitters are carrylnsr away an average of $2.000 of American money and fear that before all have frone this country will have, lost more than $2.000,000.000. This furnishes the text for a preachment on the relative habits of thrift of native and foreign born in this country and a suggestion that we have been remiss in not providing better for the safeguarding rt aliens' savings and the turning of the great reservoir of capital into American development. It is paid that many of the hundreds of immigrant savings banks in the United States and scores of private bankers patronised by forelsrnera are in fact but agents of foreign institutions which employ tho American accumulations of their nationals to .tho benefit of their homelands. That may be true to a degree, but we may doubt if a large proportion has teen so diverted if the men now departing have so much cash to take with them. Nevertheless it is reasonable to believe that .aliens might be the more readily attached to this, country could they be convinced that Investments here are the pafeRt and best to be found in all the world. If their permanent Interests were here they would remain, be " naturalized and become good Americans sooner than is usually the case now. The records show that while practically all immigrants save money tho larger accumulations are credited to the nationalities that remain here the shortest time, whii' the smaller amounts are found to the credit of those that settle j.ermanentby In our land, possibly a change in the banking facilities afforded them would not alter their plans for earning a stake here to gpend at he. me.
CANADA BUYS FROM U. S. A few month ago 'here was much talk in Canada ef boycotting- American goods because of the high adverse exchange rate. The Canadians s?emed to r'ent rather bitterly the fact that their currency was subjret to a discount in the realm of their next door lieigblx-r. If the boycott movement at any time had foundations, it appears to have lost its force, for there i nothing In the trade conditions between the. two countries to indicate that a boycott was ever thought of. The Canadians are buying from us in far greater measure than ever before. In the port of Toronto TO p-Teent of the imports are from the United States. Since the imports at that port arc now 12 times what they were 20 years ago and the United States produces three-fourths of the goods entering here, tli" extent of our Canadian trade may ' be realized. P.usiness is not greatly a matter of sentiment. Whatever of the latter that might enter would incline Canadians to trade with England. That this nation supplies so large a part of Canadian wants in importations ia evidence that it is to their advantage to trade here. Canadian dollars are still at a discount, though not so greatly as a while since, but that phase of the sltuatio n apparently has no effect cn the business done.
The Delaware republican state convention has endorsed woman's suffrage, but as long as the republican legislature of Delaware continues to defy sentiment, what, hope is there from the convention action? Just now tVs votes, not resolutions, that the women want.
In increasing their production to thrco times what it was a year ago the French seem to place .some reliance still in the old-fashioned idea that work is necessary. Many of our problems would be solved If Americans followed their example.
Japan announces that Vladivostok was seized because of fear of uprisings in Northern Korea. Wot knew they would have some reason like that.
The wheat forecast is for 75 percent of normal yl?ld. And the acreage is much less than last year. Cheap flour is hardly in sight.
If the American people generally will just clothe their ideas in overalls for a while wc shall be getting somewhere.
Anyway, the print paper shortage may be a blessing in disguise if it forces the propagandists to suspend.

ri:nnMi: at a drop. (New York Kiriiin? lot.) The Parisian elite is agoq; over a new perfumewhich is being sold at the rate of $5 a drop. It is produced from seaweed, of which a ton yields only tio drops, and is declared to be the most exquisite M-n! known to mankind. No doubt it will be imported to America. The price at which the perfume is sold probably will stamp, in the popular mind, anyone who buys it as etravagant to the point of profligacy. Yet, ir comparison with tho prices paid for other luxuries. It nny not be excessive. The b'st attar of roses, produced at Ghaiipoor in Hindustan, before the war commanded as much as $100 a fluid ounce, and at that it was almost Impossible to obtain a supply thai v;is not adulterated. When one learns that 400,000 well-grown rotes are required to produce an ounce of the attar the price is not found exorbitant. Now it is not beyond the bounds of reason that a drop of tho new scent, over which Paris is so enthusiastic, may give more pleasure than a bottle of champagne, for which it was no uncommon thing to pay $5. Morcoer, its effect may be more lasting. A grain or two of musk will scent a ro ra i'- i s Deprived by prohibition of the opportunity t cultivate delicacy in the sense of taste through the 'lAiliiim of r.r- old vintages, our dilettanti in such thir.r.s may : "i entertainment in d. eloping the s. ns- of si..'.. . hich, as everyone knows is in merely a rudimentary stage in the human race, as cornpar' d with the perfection which it has reached in liors, notably pointers and bloodhounds. Connoisseurs of wire may rind some compensation for prohibition in a n'cc judgment of perfumes.

NOAH. 1911). If good old Noah were here today. He vould not build in the olden way; He would not hammer and peg an ark. He'd hie to the back yard after dark. And dig and delve in the cool dark ground A cellar an hundred cubits round. And when that cellar was delved and digged, The bins all laid and the tackle rigged, Ho'd hoist to rest in the cool dark ground The critters he loved from the whole world round. He'd lower the demijohns, two by two, And little fat kegs of Milwaukee brew. The squat black bottles with squirrel inside. The little pinch bottlea from over the tide. The magnums marching in 'stately pairs, The flasks in couples with monkish airs. These an(j more like a chubby mole, Noah would store in his cubby hole. Honest Noah, that good old man! What would he do when the elrought began? Would he pity and let them in, Fhem and Japhet and all his kin? Could he, fresh from the flowing spout, Wntch poor Ham when his tongue hung out? Well. I'll wager he'd pauv and think Twice at least on the cellar's brink. "Durn their hides," he would likely say. "Why did they go for to vote that way ? Going dry in the flood was pie

Then Henry Brown, the warehouse man, says he can strike if Casey can. And saying which he damns the rich With eloquence and ardor. And yhen with raging appetite we nurry to our homes at night.

daughter, Eveline, was heiress to ( the great county of Lancaster. ! Before Miss Burney's popular ' novel presenting Evelina a name
which she herself invented as an elaborated form of Eveline, was published, 13 vol in had almost disappeared in England, but there was an immediate revival of tho name. Tha new fashion of adlinsr a final "a" was followed, of course, and Evelina was established In popularity for many years. Unfortunately for Evelina, the tendency was to confuse hr with Evelyn, especially when the craze for names containing a "y" made its appearance. Evelina's talisman pern is the agate. It promises her courage, guards her front danger, and cures insomnia, it is said. Thursday is her lucky day and six her lucky number. The wild rose is her flower. (Copyright. 1D20.)

The Horoscope
SATURDAY, MAY 1. The planetary positions for this day unite in a train of rather discouraging prospects. It will doubtless be a day of little progress made despite the best efforts. Matters generally are under the bane of an afflicted mercury, under which it is advisable to use great care in the signing of letters, contracts or anj writings. The Mars position warns against quarreling, litigation and other results of turbulent and ungoverned conduct, and other malefic portents adviso against change, travel or removal. The domestic situation is also unpromising. Those whose birthday It is should bo enreful in signing papers, avoiding quarrels, law and change. A child born on this day will be disposed to bo rash, headstrong and impetuous. It should be raised with strict regard for truth and honesty, and grounded in self-control.
