FRKNCH SPEED. Thrro ha- hten quite a lot sai.i aoout Ujrop loyJnsr thp nbility to work. This may l tru in a Sfnfral j-rnse hut it lors not apply to tl;e French who are cr.K-iqvi in rrstorin the (k va.-tatod regions, acrordinjr tr William Sioane Coftin. who has hren mkin a fünf y for th- 1-derated Council of Churches. Thn situation as portrayed by him will ciuzc a.stonishmei.t that reclamation is bvini? accomplished ?o rapidly. He jays: "I have never en anybody work as hard and courageoiifdy as the French people are doinsr." I cannot express the admiration I feel for th1 work beinj; done on the battleliold?, especially at Lens and Lille. About So percent of the farm land over which the battles ratred is now unck-r cultivation and will produce rain this year. The French have none ow-r theso fleld and taken out the shells and tilled the hell holes and taken away the barbed wire. They hav 140 team of 14 men each, with 10 tractors to each team, that are plowing the fllds. This work of plowing is then charged to the peasant, acrainst hl credit for war damaijes. One thoumd nine hundred sixty men are doinsf this at the risk of their live. Traveling through this territory, j could almost imagine I vii back at the front, with the shells exidodinir. all about and children running for cover. On farmer told me he had struck 14 bodie.s in hU fmall rteld. Under this united effort. Trance. In a year's time, will be Lack on her feet agriculturally." This is a picture of accomplishment that demonstrates that the French liave not succumbed to the letharjry that we havn heard so much about. It hows that the nation Mill has its vior and its industry. It provides evidence that the German attempt to destroy Vrnnce airriculturally ns well as Industrially was futile because impossible. That Ü0 percent of the land over which battles raped should 50 soon yield to the plow and the soil torn by s-hells in a harvest of death f'uould this ear produce grain for the sustenance of the liviner Is concluMve evidence of the pn.esion of marvelnuf recuperative powers by th- French people. We vcre told that the French were bled white. Her tremendous contributions to the wr? r is not to be belittled but the progress made in rehabilitating her land ia ampl1 protf that though. sre;itly wearied by h:r exertions, but brief rst was needed to restore evidence of vigorous vitality. others may have lost tha inclination tn work but not the peasantry of France, her bulwark in tune of 5tres.

SEN. HARDING HEARS A VOICE. Gov. Cox's quick answer to Sen. Hjrding'ä prevaricating propaganda, which having attempted at ifT5t to make it arprar that the democratic nominee, and part, had repuillated the president on the League cf Nattens isue. then toupht to make out that the president was whipping both into line, azainst their will, seems to have erved as a Krt of fo'.ar plexus blow to the front porch orator. Just wild to enter into the fray, by wire lonp on debate by the atsent method. the Ohio yenator had a s-jdden char.se of purpose as soon as he discovered that the other end of the wire was also in srt workinp order. We like (lov. Cox's lichtim? qua'.itifs ft well, when eonfrf-nted with such skullduircry, that we are about ready to forgive anything that we ever had apalnst him. No sin that he could possibly romrr.it. could empire for an instant with further toleration of the sm ukir.p, .oaKelike prevarication, that has been the republi.-nn method of manufacturing ca m ;-a ir n nviterl.il well, dating evea back to the i'.ays of Til len ar;i Hay,-.. For a ci-se-up xamrle. and it i? the jroce?s of local as well as national politico, permit us to commend the reader to th means by which Mayor Carson, for inance. a- inducted into oft'.ce and th splendid result?.

S n. Harding has -(minrly heaM a voic perhaps a voiff that has come to him before. serving as a sort of nwakenlr.c. Thf "senatorial oligarchy" th American Academy of Super-Hgotlits, may be unable to conof anyone dia creeinfr with them, but there is one thing that they need to learn. Out among the people there are thoe who hive real brains, Ther are also tho.- who ue them. Even some rpublii ans have been sruilty of eschewing their partisan prejudices and making a first hand study of the league of Nations covenant as an antidote for the partisan poison th'it ha.s been srilled over th country to kill it. The republicans dare not discuss the League of Nations covenant with the people, pivlnc honest consideration to ita provisions. The hoetn pocim in their objections would forthwith become too apparent. We doubt if Sen. Hardin himself ever read the document. All h knows about it is "Gott Strafe Wils-on."

-NONE WERE PANICKY." A large gasoline yacht on one of the Great Lakes had engine trouble the other day. and taucht fire while on an afternoon's flea sure cruise with .1 passengers aboard. Othvr yachts and small boats came at once to its assistance. The hold wa floodid to put out the tire. md the passengers, "none of whom wre panicky." says the dispatch, "were transferred to another yacht and continued their cruise." No lives were lost. One of the crew suffered slight burns. Some valuable rugs and other furnishings were ruined by the- water, but otherwise no damage was tior.e. The jacht was towed to a dock and repairs at once begun. It is an unusual ending of this kind rif story. The end people are accustomed to read runs something like this: "The guests, panic-stricken because they knew there was a larne amount of gasoline stored in th tank, crowded together in their efforts to board the rescuing yacht. Several wire forced overboard, of whom three were drowned before a rescue could be effected. Four wa men fainted and one of the men sustained a broken rii. The confusion caus-ed delay in flooding the hold, and the gasoline tank exploded. The yacht as a total loss." Vet in this case the first siory is the true one. The only difference was in the self-control of theguets. Courage and courtesy s-aved the lives of all present and prevented any serious damage to th yacht or injuries to its crew.

SUGAR BECOMES PLENTIFUL. The fact that there is now plenty of sugar, if one Is willing to pay the yrice. is proof that there was never a real sugar shortage. It was necessary to stage what appeared to be a scarcity for a time to move prices to present levels, but now that profiteers ate fearful th top-notch mark may have been reached, they are permitting the product to move from storage hous'-s in generous quantities. All of which dots not mean, however, that the price will not perform new aerial feats. Growers and refiners seem to have had their appetites whetted by exorbitant prices they have been able to obtain. Cuban growers, it is announced, are forming a combination to hold the new crop for lit rents. What that would mean to the American consumer would depend, of courfe, upon what would satisfy the American profiteer, through whose hands it must pass before It reaches the retail market. Ope of the worst effects will probably lie a rw excuse for higher food prices pext winter. The price of sugar of necessity Is diminishing home canning, and shortage ef canned poods will shift a greater burden on other food prcducts.

Announcement by a chemist that buttermilk contains three percent alcohol appears like a clever publicity stunt to boost consumption of that product. The chemist went home stewed and toll it to fool his wife.

Inability to foretell the future probably was the reason the constitution makers did not makj birth in Ohio a qualification for president.

The Keris will probably discover that something happened ;f Foch takes command of the Polish forces.

Mexico seems itself again. Villa threatens a new "rtign of terror" if his terms are not met.

One of these days -'i new revolution will break out in Mexico, dissipating our fears that there is something wrong south of the Kio Grande.

TWO IAKING F12ATS. (I'lovclarul IMain Debater.) A few yt-ars ago two government engineers, employed in the interior department, were exploring and surveying a stream on the western slope of the Kockies, in Colorado. They came finally to a place where the stream, after running for miles through a deep gorge, suddenly dropped out of sight, through a hole in its rocky bed. The engineeis had no idea where the stream came out all they knew was that it disappeared down that cavernous hole ii. the bowels of the mountain. For 'H they knew, it nev-r reached daylight again, or if it did. very like!) it plungd over a precipice. Hut they determined to find out. if possible, where and how it e nie r .ted. The only way they couM think of was to follow the w.tttr down that hole. They tied their clothing and instruments into compact bundles, strapped them to their lacks, and plunged into the boilin vortex. A little later they found themselves, somewhat to their own surprise, in a quiet, sun-lit pool somewhat farther down the mountain t-ide, bruised and bleeding, and gaeping for breath, but still alive and whole. The result of that daring exploit is seen today in the. fertile Uncompahgre Valley, watered and made fruitful by the very" stream in which those engineers took uch a desperate chance. The other day an Englishman went over Niagara Falli! in a barrel. The barrel broke, and lie was dashed to death on the rocks below-. It was as venturesome a feat a the other. Hut there was an essential difference. There was nothing to be gained by that barrel feat no harnessing of a force of nature, no adaptation of 1 new resouive to man's use. no discovery of a new and valuable bcientitic truth nothit u- hut personal notoriety. There w;s equal courage in the two cases, hut rot quäl sense nor equal inspiration. One deed was performed in the service of mankind, and is therefore immurtiil. The other was vainglorious folly.
