HEW BERRY ON DEFENSIVE. In a lspcre.t attempt to turn the tide of public B'mtjinent, tho agrents of Truman XwbrTry, -whoso at In th ur-nata is tinker f.ro, are flooding tho country vfth what U labeled a defense. In the iru-antrmo Newberry himself announces? that tha republican leaders, and pcLa.l3y Sru "Watffon of Xhl täte, "havo ordorel him to mako no denial of the char-gr against him. It la no lorjrar a question of Ford apalnM Nwterry. Th personal records of t?ics& mn have nothing to do with th big query m to "whether a seat in tho senate la held through tho corrupt and laviCi us of money. The fac'-s In tho casa are practically -undisputed. Money In hugo mma was spent to lnflueivc vote. That lavlshnf xi meffured -more than the private am. Mtlon of ono man to get an cfTlc. Tho pamphlets now NMm? sent through tho nation are indicative of the viewpoint of tho?e behind Newberry. They charge that largo fum of money wero spent In behalf of Ford. They confffs that huge sums were ?pcnt for Newberry. Neither, they assert, knew of the expenditures. Therefore they agree it Is persecution to try to unseat Newberry. Thif view of public affairs Is hardly a recommendation for the man they espouse. Tho attitude of the protrresslv Republicans Borah, Johnson. LaFolletto and tho other that no a-at ehall be held in the .nate where violation of Jaws and extraordinary use of money 1 Fhown, appeals more to the public conscience. UnleM Newberry denies, unless tho use of money li proven legitimate, he should be ousted. If Ford asks for tho eoat and It la shown that he was equally guilty, he should receive the time treatment.

THE REAL CRIMINALS. An Iowa boy of 17, entenced by a judge as a "habitual criminal," hanged himself In his cell because of shame. Tho mere recital of the tragedy shocks by Its implications uf heartle.nesft and failure, omewhere along the line, on tho part of thoee who made it possible for a mere boy to become an habitual drunkard. That he took his own life in desperation arguca that romewhero In thto boy's heart was something fine, eomething sound, something that niiUit havl been most iwful to the world. The human being man, woman or child who feeLs responsibility to the opinions of others, who Hhrlnkfl from Jeers and criticism, whose soul is crushed by tho fear of l'-s scorn, is not lost. There may be waywardness and weakness, but no viciousness. The real criminal is he who defies tho conventions and has no concern as to what others may think of hi actions. How a boy. in these days of th eighteenth amendment, could obtain liquor with which to become a slave to Its enticement phould have aroused a much printer curiosity on the part of the court than did the testimony concerning the habita the victim whcsso very age was a denial that any habit could bo permanently "habitual." Justice, it eeemfS vas more Intent upon the passing of sentence than in trying to discover tho real crime. Then, to no record of any action taken to prevent tin samo minister greed that sent this boy to h! death, from corrurtlng other boys In that community. There in no word of any blasts of outraged indignation against those who should have reached out a hand to stay hi-? waywardness and to guide him into 5afer pathf. It miht ?e well to npk where the good men and women of that city were while thto boy was plunins down tc ruin and to ooe whether they should not have stood nt the fide of the rnotlesKer, and be-en asked to plead to a charge of neglect and of failufo to show an interet before It was forced upon them by tho dangling body of a sensitive lad In a Jail cell. It might a!.n bo asked whether 20 centuries ot Christianity h.is not found fom other method for protecting itself than placing a youth behind bars aa a felon for succumbing to an cptttite which society encouraged fcr that jeriod. S.-Tto day. perhaps, there -will be tribunals which will c rk f ir fundamental Justice in human affairs. It will tak tho- who have fallen by the hand and try to lift then;. ae them from themselves, rather than tr t-.ov them down and put a brand upon them. In that day, too, judges who send bops to prison will ak why they have been debauched, rather thart simply inquiring into evidences of their debauchery. The boy, of course, was murdered killed by 3 cruelty of th world who;? .corn he could not stand. It may not be rla--ant to trace the real criminal. It is easy to accuse the bootlegger. Put after that, if the probe goia deep enough, we might perhaps find ourselves in the prisoners' deck, guilty cf killing by a Minister lack of sympathy and a more sinister lack ! Interest in what is happening to the boys about us. Think it over.

THE CHIEF NECESSITY. The ccnfv.-ince on unemployment, called by Tres't irardin-:, gives n lt3 adce. the prompt limitation of armam nt and the consequent rcducUori of taxef, a a mt-ar.3 of getting work for the woTkVcss. Tlie mcmV-rs discovered that the big1 gun and the tig battleships are keeping men out of Job. This conference has found that men with money will not put their c-ifh in crterprtoej if the government Is to come along Indefinitely and take away all the pnf.is to j.ay for the competition In war equipment among- nation. This conference leurna that the worker becomes fcot only "cannon fodder" in ttmes cf war but is artarved by cannon in times cf peace. The preliminary arrangeriients for tho conference .r nearly competed. It 13 regrettable that th man mho forced action, Sen. Corah, Is not an American reprtcvtütatiro, prcenoo would havo Insured

an active protest airalnst secrecy of meetings, a procdurr; which will go far to destroy its T-f-fuInes. The American people can secure open hearings if they only demand it In unmistakable terms. If they do not, it can taken as certain that the gathering will b3 held behind locked doors, the diplomats cf IJrltaln, France, Italy tnd Japan talking In the old terms -f "balance tt power" and eecret agreemc-nti and tho United States members bound by "honor" to keep their own people in the dark e to what to happening. There is not a statesman in the group who would dare to Interfere with a complete disarmament program and go back to face hl own people. For the peoples of the other nations ara as tired of war as Americans have always been. They have learned by sad experience of its costs. With mcbs of unemployed marching upon the. offices of the premier, Great Britain would, least of all, obstruct such a progmm. Her influence upon Japan would easily bring that nation to an agreement to abandon It3 costly building program for naval supremacy and the continuous round of increased effort to excel some one c1jo would cease. For -t nation has a good navy only as long as It is bigger or faster or in some way superior to that of any other nation. A letter to the president today demanding that thcfle delegate? open tho doors and let tho people of tho world look in upon tho Kcswions may hilp to mako the conference a success and lift some of the burden that Is now strangling industry and keeping men out of Jols.

WONDERFUL WOMAN. Who is the most wonderful woman In the world? All happily married husbands will answer, "My wife!" Children will answer, "My mother!" The world is full of wonderful women. It has Just lost one of the mort remarkable of them MJrs. Cornelia Adair, 85-year-old pioneer cf the southwest. She died in Ltondon, where jho was a society queen during vacations from thi- 500,000 acres of ranch and 100,000 head of cattle which she owned and managed personally in Donley county, Texas. Mrs. Adair, native of New York, married John Adair a half century ago and went with him to Colorado. With a score of cowboys, they went horseback from Pueblo, Colo., into Texas, driving a herd of cattle through a country menaced by Indians and wild animato. where water holes were few. Mont of the cattle died of thirst. Starting in a shanty, the Adalrs became, fabulously rich. After her husband's death, Mrs. Adair ran the ranch and its huge cattlo Industry herself. At, 70 years, ehe still handled all the deals, waa an expert with the lasso, rode with her cowboys and made her "J. A." ranch famous as the bet In Texas. At all big stock shows, her catte won first rrizc. Despite this activity, Mrs. Adair found time rather, made time to improve herself mentally and spiritually. She was a devotee of music and a connoisseur of art. She and the nobility of England visited back and forth. America was built up by pioneer women of the Cornelia Adair type, though usually their fields for activity were small. Thero have been as many great women as great men. In all ages. Usually as In the case of Mrs. Elias Howe, who perfected the sewing machine invention for her husband the women have been robbed of tho credit. It is woman's nature to remain In the background. Put whenever a man achieves greatness, it Is a 1000-to-l &hot that his greatness was Inherited from hto mother. Also, that he probably would have remained a mediocrity, had ho not been fired with ambition and Inspiration and pushed forward by his wife or sweetheart. In all generations, the greatest actors have been women, just as Sarah Bernhardt eclipses all male performers of her time. In private life, woman irtay tho silent part. But he is there, staging the show, setting the scenery, making the ccntumes. directing tho plot and, most important of all, providing what theatrical producers call atmosphere. Farewell, Cornelia Adoir! You were one of the few wonderful women who get credit for their important functions in life.

THE PASSING OF KNOX. The sudden death of Philander C. Knox removed from public life a man who hna, for 2 0 years, left his impresj upon tho nation's history. As attorney general to McKinley and to Roosevelt he carried out in a most brilliant manner, their policies. As secretary of ftate undfr Taft, he formulated tho policies which kept this nation at peace with the world and did much to build up that closer friendship with the South American republics which is the fundamental assurance of peace upon the western continent. By nature conservative and by training and environment ultra-coiwervative, his service In the senate reflected this attitude toward government. He had neither the personality nor the causes which mako public heroes. He did have the utmost sincerity and belief in his own ideas. The suggestion of his availability as presidential timber came from those who knew and admired his strong mentality and who trusted to his conservatism for strength. In a popular election, it was his greatest weakness. Lf the senate votes to ratify the separate, treaty with Germany, that course of diplomacy will stand as his monument, for he. more than any other man In public life, pressed this policy to the fore and forced it upon the present administration. He meets the fate of most men of passing before the full consumatlon of the cause nearest his heart o Are you broke, cr did you have your winter coal charged? o The modern woman's magazine haa more beauty hints than cooking hints.

Girls once had almost nothing to wear; now they have to wear almost nothing. o People are all right in their way if they don't get In yours.

The cheapest-looking thing at a bargain counter is a man.

Russian rubles are quoted at a nickel a thousand if you do your own hauling.

TIK IvFST AHi: BACK. It was easy In tae c!d days and rhe bitter days to fhirk The best of all the nations had been called away from work We could hold our various places with indifferent service then, Eut today the war is over and our best is back again. We had little competition with our soldier boys away; The sLouthful and the lazy could command a master's pay. But the idler's days aru over, we are done with methods slack. For the finest of the country and the best we have are back.

They who fought to sae tho nation have returned to do its work; There's a good man and a truo man now to crowd out every säirk. Oh, I don't know how to say it but it seems to me somehow That it's up to every one of us to start to hustle now.

W3 must bend our bacjc to labor and tho pleasures we Tnust shun, We must give the best that's in u to the duties to be done. Now the test is one of merit as it used to be of yore And it's goodbye to the loafers for our best is homo once more. (Copyright, 1921.)

Oct. 12. 1921. News-Times. South Bend, Ind.: Editor News-Times, South Bend, Ind.: Dear Sir. I had the pleasure of reading a copy of your paper today. South Bend is certainly to ib-o congratulated on having such a live up-to-date newspaper. A live newspaper is one of the best city builders In existence. Your city must believe: That the city that gets the publicity gets tho business. That the city that gets the advertising grows. Ts.at advertising a city Is a business, not child's play. That people will go miles to get to a good live city to trad?. That your property will increase

in value when the outsfde world knows your city is wide awake. That people from neighboring towns will come where there is Gomething doing. That the cty which does not peek to gret something better than it now has is going to lose out. That now- Is the tim your city and business need advertising more than ever before. That if you don't get out and go after the out Id e trade, some neighboring city will. That if they do, they will get the business you should get. Yours Very trulv, SHAWNEE, OKLA., BOARD O COMMERCE. E. R. WAITE. Secretary.

HOPELESS. When informed by a learned eugenist That In going In que?t of a wife The lady to court was the sinewy sort Who had never been sick in her life. I made a proposal to Molly, A maiden whose health is all right Made of muscle and grit and so physically fit She could give Mr. Dempsey a fight. Then along came another eugenist Who .advised me to pick out a Jane Who, though lacking In grace and not much as to face. Would be there with a threedecker brain. And so I proposed to Priscilla, Who may be a tritle antique, But who took five degrees with the greatest of ease And who thinks both in Sanscrit and Greek. Still another eugenist apprised me That beauty one's aim ought to be. "They needn't know books if they've just got the looks; Pick a peach while you're picking." said he.

So I asked for the hand of Patricia, A damsel whose azure - eyed glance, If your own it should meet when she passed on the street. Would throw you straight into a trance. And now I'm distressed to discover That the kind of a spouse one should find If the race is to be what eugenlsts foresee Should have all of these features combined. I've got three fiancees already And my brain's in the deuce of a whirl, The wife that I need seems elusive indeed. For there never was any such girl!

Jenny is a butterfly Jenny is a Hirt, Jenny's ways are frivclous, Jenny's speech is pert; But oh the Mashing smile of her. And oh tho willing glance! The grace and pep and style of hr That mako my heart to dance Mary is a steady girl. The girl I ought to wed; She's fair and wise and gentle.

When the Moon Comes Up

and the Witches Ride (especially during chill cold weather) we close the eyelids of our homes, shutting out the bleak out-of-doors and bask in the cosiness of the interior. And we like effective eyelids don't we? The kind that pull down easily, that harmonize in color with the color scheme of the room so that they don't jar with the rest of the furnishings. And, needless to say, we don't want them bedraggled, full of pinholes, dirty and cracked. That's why we say BUY LUXOR WINDOW SHADES because we know their exceptional qualities. LUXOR SHADES come in a wide variety of color, also ill Duplex (one color for the inside of the house and one for the outside) so that you are sure to match your color scheme. Luxor shades are well made and do not crack, show pinholes or wrinkle. Bring your measurements and let us help you select just the right shade to serve as the eyelashes of your home.
