are deeply concerned If
from every angle i ernapsjb that bad in the summer
no better illustration could'
be given than to reproduce
a short dtspatch from Wash-
ington to the republi can
Tulsa World There are four
short paragraphs in tne dis-
patch each of them teeming
with what republican con-
gressmen learned when visit-
ing home during the recess
The dispatch says:
"Republican congressmen from
the north and midwest who
went back home for the congres-
sional recess to spend a vacation
and to rest are rturningto Wash-
ington unrescd
"The returning ones were re-
turning sad tales of their home
reception They were met by
army of unemployed men anc
discouraged merchants and farm
ers They were faced with a bat-
tery of questions as to what con
gress was doing or would do
help conditions
The railway bond issue
brought par but the govern-
t0 ment stands back of the
paper When the big fellows
"They were criticized for delay get in bad the administration
functions splendidly but
when the common fellows
in helpful legislation and for fa
ure to complete enactment of the
tax and tariff revision legislation
Finally they were petitioned for et out of money and out of
job9 work they are advised to
“Under the conditions many stand by and bequite hope-
of the congressmen decided that ful Why is this?
Washington was a more comfort
able place than home They

tion to speed up legislation that

the great evils of unemployment
In the unrest of these re
publican congressmen ca
be found a ray of hope for
the public at large whic
after all constitutes the ma
jor part of these Unite
States of America
Every thoughtful citizen
can secure an education by-
just reading the headlines i
the daily newspapers They
teem with excitement an
they carry the message that
the republican national ad
ministration is facing th
greatest cricis that has ever
followed a mistaken interna
policy
One striking illustration
comes from the headlines in
the morning newspapers for
one day only such examples
as the following being the
most interesting
“Like slaves of old Boston
unemployed sold on the
auction block ’ —
“Mellon seeks big bank
oan — government is be-
hind $161461771 in tw
months”—
“Stock now held declared
to be worthless”
These three seperate sub-
jects for one morning bear
thunderous evidence to the
effect that the present ad-
ministration has tailed to
grasp the economic condit-
ion or to solve any part of it
However a still more
striking illustration is found
in a later newspaper which
tells more about the auction
of jobless men reading as
follow:
“Maryland to forbid auc-
tion of the jobless
Of course it appears un-
reasonable that in a great
rich nation like this where
the abundance is so wonder-
ful that able bodied men

time what must we antici
pate doing this winter? For
the army of unemployed is
in the northern states where
the winters are long and
where fuel is hard to obtain
In one respect the Hardin
administration has made
good— one of the promises
was “to do something more
than was ever done before
The has been fulfilled — for
the first time in American
history a white man has pub
licly offered himsclL-for sale
that he might be able to get
enough to eat
Perhaps that was what
they meant by “normalcy’

not get all of the postmasters

for him to return to Lincoln

Now the girls are having
their knees decorated with
pictures of butterflies Seems
to us it would be more prac
ticable to paint pic:ures of
mosquito netting on them
The fact that diamonds
have been reduced four per
cent in cost will hearten the
man out of a job a great deal
Ships can now be operat
ed by w ireless but operating
a Ship of State still requires
more or less wire pulling

The Outlook
It is to be hoped
There is no question about
the effect of the Disarma-
ment Conference being
highly desireable
Every sane man or woman
would like to see a cessation
of preparation for war would
like to see the thought of it
pass from the minds of the
people till the generations
that are to follow will not
know what the m£ans
However a temporary
success in such matters is
probably worse than no suc-
cess at all
Sincerity is the keynote of
the whole situation If all
the nations go into the con-
ference with the sincere de-
sire to put a stop to all war-
like actixities with the earn-
est intention of abiding by
all the rules that are estab-
lished therein then and not
untill then will we realize
the dream of Utopia that
men have laughed at and
prayed for
It is not a spirit of levity
that gives utterance to the
hope that we may be able to
extend the disarmament tc
this country proper
we are the greatest gun
toters knife handlers and
razor wielders in the world
Not to speak of other
weapons of offence such as
sling shots and air rifles
Skill with firearms is very-
well when such skill is used
for legitimate and lawful
purposes
The wanton carrying of
weapons with a chip-on-the-shoulder-spirit
has no ap-
peal to us and should be
handled with the utmost se-
verity So we are for disarmament
both at home and abroad
It is desireable - -
