Senator Walsh of Massachusetts
aavs "The farmers get too little and
ihe workers pay too much. It
needs no ghost come from the
grave to prove that. The problem
of this nation is distribution.
Plenty of water in lakes and
rivers—how to get it on the dry
land? i
Plenty of knowledge iuthe librar-
ies—how to get it inio empty
minds?
Plenty of wealth available from
soil ami factories-how to distri-
bute products on a basis free from
extortion?
Those are the questions. It is
good to have a Senator remind you
of it, occasionally but the only
remedy is government control of
marketing, and when you mention
that, financial respectability by
which you are governed yells "so-
cialism," and goes home. And still
"the farmers get too little and
workers pay too much."
The last British soldiers have left
Ireland's shores, with applause,
happiness, waving of hands. How
soon will they be back? Irish re-
publicans declare that the Free
State shall not endure. However,
the right of Ireland to goven her-
self has been conceded, after 700
years of fighting, and the Irish
eventually will agree upon some
plan for accepting what they so
long have struggled to attain.
The Rev. Dr. Karl Reiland of
Saint George's Episcopal church in
New York, says Japan the world's
great danger. Germany and Japan
were friends, not enemies, all
through the war, he .said in last
Sunday's sermon, and will one day
unite to conquer the world. The
Doctor forgets, perhaps, that the
kaiser, while still in power, prom-
ised Japan a most horrible beating
—for sinking his ships and seizing
his Chinese lands—as soon as he
finished boating the Allies. He
never did finish, so he does not
count.
Dr. Reiiand also says that Japan,
alone, could whip any two nations
on earth. You may not agree with

BERNHARDT UP
Actress Greatly Improved
FRIENDS REJOICE
PARIS, Dec. 26—Sarah Bern-
hardt, greatly improved today,
was able to arise.
The famous actress, who has
been seriously ill for a week,
brought rejoicing to hundreds
of friends and prominent po-
litical, social and theatrical
persbnages who had gathered
at her home by recovering
from a severe relapse and get-
ting out of bed.
Mine. Bernhardt was sticken
with a fainting spell December
17 during final rehearsal of
Sacha Guitry's new play. De-
spite the critical* nature of her
illness the tragedienne used
tremendous will power to fight
off sinking spells, declaring if
she must die she would do so
while actually on the stage.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. -The
'funeral march" of Sarah Bern-
hardt with which Isadora Dun-
can, dancer, broke up her per-
formance at the Brooklyn Acad-
emy of Music last night, left
her followers in a confused
daze here today.
Max Rabinowitz, her pianist,
snatched his hand from that of
the dancer and stalked off the
stage as the audience, evident-
ly pleased at the premature
terpsichorean obsequies, thun-

In accepting theories that leave
out real science, it is important to
"verify" facts. Dr. Coue says, "It
is sober truth that if a woman
makes a mental picture of the sex
of a child she is going to bring into
the world, of the physical and
moral qualities with which she de-
sires to see it endowed, and if she
will continue to impress on herself
„the same mental image, the child
will have the sex and the qualities
desired."
A more sober truth is that eight
women in ten keep their minds,
each time, on having a boy, and
nature, no believer in Coueism, de-
cides the matter as usual.
Coue, In Ills "sober truths," in-
cludes this: "Spartan women only
brought forth robust children, who
grew to be redoubtable warriors,
because their strongest desire was
to give such heroes to their coun-
try, while Athens mothers had in-
tellectual children whose mental
qualities were a hundred fold
greater than their physical attri-
butes."
Interesting, but not exact. Spar-
ta's laws put to death children born
deformed or weak, foreseeing Dar-
win's "artificial selection."
Thus the good poultry farmer
kills the newly hatched chicks that
seem defective and improves the
average. He does not rely on the
hen's thoughts, as she sits on the
eggs.
However, "some truth in all er-
ror." What the child amounts to
is the sum total of the mother's
