UNCLE SAM'S SIXPENCE. Tr.come, 0 shillings; outgo. 2 0 shillings slxIenc; rrsult. mipr-. Incom, 20 shillings; outs;o, ID rhtlllngs sixpence; result, happine.-.s." Fo says one nf the characters cf Dickrns. TJncle B.im has so Ion? been in tho position of the mif-erable or.e whofc utgo txceHlPcl his income that roost Americans have: come to belivr that he can never be In any ether claf-fc. ?rc'y of the Tr tiry Houston, however, announces that Uncle's incotna In th" yrar Jut ended exceeded his outo, and he expects a further reduction In the coming year. The gTOss public debt ha3 been rut down by Jl,lSS.lS-4.602. A preater reduction from the peak of the debt Is ehown by th figurei--, but rart of this 13 due to the paying eff of nhort term treasury certificates. Tho $l,isr.,184.602 stands as a real l eduction. The surplus i. due to tho partial liquidation cf tho assets of the War Finance corporation. Exclusive of tho income from that source, tays the report, there was a deficit of J71,S73,072 in the actual handling of Income and expenses. This Is rather dLT.cult for the ordinary citizen to prarp, but It leaves an Impression that Uncie can still ftand a. little Erding of the loins in the matter of thrift and etllciency in the conduct of his business. There Is no question "hut that much of the money handled by Uncle Pam 1 wasted. Not intentionally, but through carelessness, duplication of effort and general lack of effective teamwork. The mere fact that tho incomo Is exceeding the outgo, howovcr, is hopeful. A suitable rnidgetlng of the nation's finances Fhould help very much to increase Uncle's happiness and rropcrity.

THE NIGHTMARE OF PANIC. Efforts of republican politicians to propagandize tL "full dlnnT-pall" scare "will not be permitted to n.ateriallzo thdr wish. It 5ecm?, if business interests can prevent It. Unfitness discovered long ago that panics are too expensive to take chances on even for tho purpose of wtrratng an lection. Things ara not looktrg down-hearted as certain republican newrpaper would have us believe, pointing always at sorrrthing in the distance. If one can judge tho country oy opinions of business rirn as expressed, $ay for instance, in the Magazine of Wall Kt., capitalistic as they make them. things in Kcneral are not looking down, but are decidedly looking up; According to tho viewpoint of a prominent Chicago banker, th ory of extravagance and waete has about burned Itself out, and the American people are waking to the rrospect of a 4i5on of sar.e, practical, thriftful prosperity after a long nightmare of spurious joy in a fool's paradise. Furthermore, he bellevVs ihero aro many Iniluenca that will prevent a violent adjustment. lFor one thing, the public itself hns the power to control prices through increasing or diminishing demand. That power is now being exerted, for the public has reached Its frpendlng limit and is applying the brakes In a ftenflblo manner." A big railroad man sayiu "In n'any recocts it may he truthfully said UuU. we emerged from a cloud cf uncertainty, although many f-erious problems still remain unsolved. It seems to me- that we are justified in viewing the future with a considerable degro) of optimism-" The president cf the Mercantile Trus-t cf St. "The eoPnomtc conditions of ;he United States are .ound to the core." Tho Mechanics and MetaLs National bank ivajs ertravTag;ince, rot paing, causes unemployment: "iVivlng will merely prevent unl.e expansion of the less essential lndustri-j, and the excess saving will be available for investment" for railroads, fur rehabilitating Uurofe, for building up vital industries. Otto K.ihn urges tt-amwerk as the fssentiil for keeping the affairs cf Co country Found and prosperous. "If business pulls or.e way, labor another, farmers a third and politico a fourth, the result Is much Wieste motion and H st effort and an impairment of our national effectiveness." In this last uuoUitior. Iiis the foljtion for such ÄttTiCultl s an still l.rs.-t th nation. If bus!ncü., '.aber, agriculture .-ind politics will but pull together Icr a while, no one need be concerned for the prosperity and comfort of the ccur.tr-. They won't I" nMe to work the old game of political Fcare thL- yr, on capital or labor either üce. The age of subserviency to such hodgepodge is pait.

LAST OF THE GERMAN NAVY. Hush! Take to your bed-clothes. Hide your head under a pillow. A fleet of five German warships are enroute to the United States, and the cry of "preparedness" is still in the air. The oncoming fleet consists of one dreadnought, one armored cruiser

and three destroyers. The dreadnought is coming under its own steam. The others are being towed. The cruiser was irreparably damaged by the Germans before it was surrendered and the destroyers were sunk at Scapa Flow afterwards. There is needless to say, no menace in this feet, There is, however, a peculiar interest attending its arrival. It represents the share of German surface warships "allocated to the United States" in the division of the conquered German navy among the allies. Most Americans have never realized that any part of that navy was awarded to this country. Opponents of the Paris treaty and League of Nations have carefully avoided all such mention, so eager have they been to let nothing leak out that the president was anywhere on the job. or America considered, when the treaty was negotiated. Still there is no occasion for any great rejoicing. The vessels are of no use as fighting craft, and even if they were, the peace treaty requires that they shall all be destroyed within a year. Still, a good many thousand Americans will take pleasure in having a look at them when they arrive in New York, and when they proceed to Norfolk and other ports as they are expected to do. They will be visible evidence, however small and unimportant, of the big part that the United States played in defeating the nation that aimed at supreme sea power, and they will be proof positive of the utter powerlessness to which that menacing navy has been reduced.

A COLLEGE EDUCATION. A successful business man remarked the other day, "it doesn't take as long to get over a college education now as it used to do." The remark was intended as a compliment to modern educational methods, as truly it was. Not so many years ago people looked upon a college education as an end rather than a means. Not until comparatively recent years has there been anything like general realization of the fact that more is expected of a college graduate than of others, that the man who obtained a college education has assumed a greater responsibility instead of being given a greater privilege. The college graduate of today must serve instead of being served. The college graduate is looked upon as being fitted for greater efficiency than one who has not had his advantages of education, and better things are expected of him. The world today is more harsh in its judgment of the man who wastes his talents than upon the man who has no talents to waste. More is expected of the man with good tools than of the man with poor tools. And, after all, education is nothing more than the tool for the work of life. These thoughts are offered with respectful earnestness to young men and young women who are thinking of entering college this fall.

SUFFRAGE IN TENNESSEE. A few special elections for state legislators, to be held early in August, may play a big part in American history. Those elections are necessary to fill 11 vacancies in the Tennessee legislature preliminary to the special session called to consider the suffrage amendment. The legislature is said to be almost evenly divided on the question. The elections, therefore, which ordinarily would attract little attention, assume national importance because they may determine whether suffrage is to be ratified this year by the requisite 36th state, and millions of women are to be enfranchised in order to vote next November. Accordingly there will be in those 11 Tennessee districts about the hottest fight any state has seen for many years outside of a big campaign. The result will not only determine in all probability, the vote of the Tennessee legislature when it meets late in August, but will be an unusually good test of public opinion regarding suffrage in the south. There has been no such distinct referendum on the question as these special elections will afford.

A truce to politics in August! Argument can wait for cooler weather, and will be more effective if it does.

Houdini couldn't open his own trunk for the customs officials. Probably decided the "house" wasn't worth it.

If the feminine vote is going solid for any particular candidate or party, the women are certainly keeping a secret.

Next -- an international air race! Who'll offer the first oxygen tank for a trophy?

Farmer-Labor ticket loses another vote. Missouri rules it off the ballot.

HARDING'S "INTENT." (New York Times.) The Tribune and The Sun, both ardent supporters of Sen. Harding, differ violently and day by day concerning their candidate's attitude toward the League of Nation. Declared The Sun yesterday: "Everybody knows already where Harding stands on the Wilson treaty and the Wilson league." "He isn't 'going to fiddle with it; he isn't 'going to touch it.' That's final." But with equal positiveness and on the same day The Tribune assures a complaining subscriber that 'nothing in the recent speech of Mr. Harding' warrants the assertion that "the presidential candidate of the republican party has repudiated the league principle." It is true that "Messrs. Johnson and Borah detect such repudiation," but The Tribune knows better. It points to the fact that "Mr. Harding, who voted twice for entry into the league, begirt his speech by denying .ny desire to hold aloof." "Why," asks The Tribune, as if with a severe glance at The Sun, "accept at face value the campaign appeals of partisan newspapers?' It is not for the likes of us to meddle in this high dispute of learned republican interpreters of Harding's words. We might remind them, however, of Lord Coke's definition of the three different degrees of certainty in writing. As explained by Sir Frederick Pollock, the first degree, "certain to a common intent," means that "the sense is clear to a man of fair, ordinary intelligence." Then comes the second, "certain to a certain intent in general." This means that "the words are plain even to a stupid man." Finally we have "certain to a certain intent in particular," which is another way of saying that the meaning is "so precise and exhaustive that a clever man cannot read it in a wrong sense if he tries." The whole seems as if especially written for this controversy between The Sun and The Tribune, though we must leave it to them to decide which is the stupid man and which, the clever.

The Tower of Babel

By BILL ARMSTRONG

BUCK FEVER SEZ The printers of Dayton, O., marched in the parade honoring Gov. Cox. Likely the printers carried a banner in the parade, reading. "Too Late; It Can't be Done." It begins to look as if Colfax av. would have to be widened soon to accommodate the motor cars of the printers employed in the offices of the Daily Moan and the South Bend Evening Whine. Speakin' of odd coincidences, a female lady friend of mine is suffering from a bad cold she contracted the other day at an August fur sale. I see the Jap emperor is sick. By the looks of his pitchers I believe his condition must be chronic. Can you imagine a bozo feeling very good any time with a name like Yoshihito? We suppose the queen calls him "Yosh" for short, which is drunk for "Yes." I reads in the newspapers where It sez the navy needs more petty officers. It's a cinch you'll never read anything like that about the army, as it sure had a supply of petty officers during the late difficulty.

MONA. Mona has the unusual distinction of being a diminutive- of a name whos oricinal form is not in usase. It means "little nun" and at first glance it would seem that Monacella the original form, should le the diminutive rather than Mona herself.

The Horoscope

SUNDAY AND MONDAY. AUGUST 1-2. Sunday promises to be a day lacking occurrences of real interest or importance, according to the single lunar aspect and the entire absence of mutual figures. The day should be spent quietly and uneventfully. Those whose birthday it is should handle their money with great care, avoiding all risks. A child born on this day wlil incline to be generous and free to excess. Monday promises to be an eventful and exciting day, although the long chain of planetary figures must be read as conflicting. Conditions may be called turbulent, as Mars is a predominant influence, both by Lunar and mutual direction. It is not malefic. ..hough other planets

hold a menace, threatening business'

and presaging disaster through removals or journeys. Disappointments and setbacks aro Saturn's measure, of evil. Those whose birthday it ip should avoid change, travel or removal, and protect their business through a very active and turbulent year. A child born on this May .will be energetic, impulsive and persevering, but unsettled.

The Ch amber of Commerce, after an investigation, gave us a clean bill of health both as to methods of doing business and our service to the public. A local publisher told us we were doing remarkably well under the circumstances. Our policy of a square deal to everybody is a sure winner. MsfisiaS ioe
