' And this taunt comes at a time when the necessary work of uniting the two great nations for the good of the world was well under way ; -.Uniting them in sentiment for all that is best for civili zation, j. - .. , '.- ' ' ' The United States went into the European war when its citizens and its rights were attacked It did not go into it, and H should not have, gone into it, merely because Great Britain had gone in. In that war it expended billions of treasure and three hundred thousand of the lives of its brav est i and best? On the day of the armistice, the American expeditionary forces withheld its hand from further fighting tinder the direct and peremptory orders of the supreme mili tary command. If the American army had "insisted upon finishing in Berlin," it would have done so in flat resistance of the wishes of Great Britain and France and to the em barrassment of their .policies. r What happened then? . We sat in at a settlement of the war out of which Great Britain gained more than a million square miles of valuable territory in all parts of the world and forty millions of population established her naval suprem acy in an absolute manner ;over the waters of Europe; de stroyed the merchant marine of her chief commercial rival,' and participated heavily in the reparatory damages which were assessed against Germany. Never from the beginning of the world had there been such booty in any war. But when America cameiaway from the council table, what did she bring?; Absolutely nothing. Her hands were empty. This, also for a great nation emerging from a victorious war, was without precedent. ; . Doing our best in this cause, offering the blood of our sons in a vast sacrifice, paying, the expenses of our soldiers across the sea even though we had financed the nations with which we Were associated, paying rent even for the trenches in which our soldiers fought and died, we are now taunted) with doing it all for gold that we never got, and withquit ting before the battle was done because our generals obeyed the allies high command. ; , f " Kipling ought not to be surprised tliat his taunting wordi are taken up with indignation by the American people and turned back upon him as an insult as a shameless slur laid on ' the graves of those who gave their lives willingly and unselfishly for the highest good of all the world. , The;peeple of the United States and the, people of Great Britain, including the people of all the colonic and posses sions of the two leading nations, should be united to their last liian for the work yet to be done in the long years .of the future for world democracy and peace and welfare, and no jarring note ought to be heard in this concord; none es pecially "by men like Kipling, supposed to be representa tive of the beat thought and the highest sentiments. it 1 tered Canada for touring purposes invited fc help, if you have any- Kudyard Kipling now declares that he did not give utter ance to the sentiments against America, as reported by Mrs. Clare Sheridan. It is to be hoped at least that he has regretted his utterances, if Mrs. Sheridan quoted him correctly. The effort of 'Representative Keller of Minnesota to have At torney General Daugherty ' im peached, failed. But Keller got all the necessary advertisement out of the foolish resolution. A delegation of students from Oxford are coming to this country to debate the debt of England to this country with a team of Am erican debaters. They might add to the'.r argument if they brought a little of the interest money in their jeans. Georges Clemenceau will receive a heart-warming welcome when he comes to America because he is Clemenceau and he comes from France. If, however, he is com-, ing to resurrect the entente that wea framed by himself. Da rid Lloyd George and Woodrow Wil son he wll have his trip his trouble and his personal triumph for his pains. The time that Clemenceau hoped and planned in 1919 is nbt yet. It may never come, and never is a long time. There is much talk in Wall street. The Ford Motor company issues a financial statement show ing that its profits totaled about $58,000,000 in the twelve months ended last AprllJJO. Henry's com pany, on that date, had $149, 000,000 in cash and debts due to' it from others . Even in this day of high finance, it is rather stag gering to think of one company, owned and operated by one fam ily, making 158,000,000 a year. It is not at all likely that John D. Rockefeller did nearly as well.' RIGHTS OF ALL ABOVE ALL Here is a statement of a prin ciple made by Senator Henry Ca bot Lodge in answer to a question naire sent to him by the Massa chusetts, branch of the American Federation of Labor: "I do not believe that in cases involving the essentials of daily life any man or body of men, Whether operators or miners, through the accident of the po sition they hold, have any right to inflict suffering upon the peo ple of the United States, upon men, women and children wholly Innocent, or deprive them of the means of keeping warm In winter, or In the right of any body of men, whether operators or miners, to paralyse,, by withholding coal from the industries of the coun try and thus: leave millions of their fellow citizens unemployed and unable to earn their living. "I do not believe that any man or body of men, whether railroad executives or railroad employes, have any right to bring suffering, and even hunger, upon millions of the American people, men, wom en and children, by stopping trans portation." Put more briefly, this statement of principle) might be made to read. thus: The rights pf all are at all times superior to the rights of any class. And that does not appear to involve anjf great degree of in justice to any one. CALLED HACK Under Uhcle Sam's revised pos tal regulations it is the easiest thing in the world for a man to set a letter back after he has mailed it. Under former rules when a letter was dropped in the boot it belonged to the person to whom it was addressed and no body else had anything to say as to 4ts' care or disposal. Some times a man would mall a letter and half an hour after changed conditions would make him glad to give a leg for its return. ,Now il the missive has not been actu ally delivered into the hands of the addressee he is in position to claim it. He may eJren telephone or telegraph the postmaster and have it held up until he can iden tity himself personally as the sender of the letter. Sometimes the ability to recall a message is a handy thing to -possess, , The postoffice department is willing to recognize this fact. A man'? title to his own' signature does cot end until it Is in the actual possession of the person to whom It was consigned. ast rear, and the number is larger this year. It was 93,300 in 1920. The Canadians say American tourists are spending over 1100, 000,000 a year In their country. The building activity in Salem does not let up.veven in the face of the coming of the rainy season. And still itis hard to find suitable dwellings for rent. ' "W The Swiss government is to appropriate 1250,000 to cooperate with the Canadian government in assisting the emigration of Swi&s citizens to Canada. Looks like Quite a Swiss movement. : Scientists are discussing whether vacuity can hae a nu cleus. Any reader can noint out some one he knows to try it on. In Thibet many of the women have three or four husbands apiece. That is why they call it the forbidden country. 1 if you are right 9 Stlmes and wrong once, the world will always remember the time you were wrong.

THE SHORT STORY, JR. THE BASKET OF HATFr Aunt Mandy came swinging natfooted down the street, hand on her hip, balancing a small clothebasket , oh her head. Look'." exclaimed Betty. -She always does that. I Just hold my breath when she goes by, but she never drops that backet. I've seen them swing bigger baskets than that," remarked Uncle Harry, who was sitting on the porch with her. X "The Bur mese women always carry things that way.". ' " What do they carry? asked Betty, who always loved 'tb'htar her uncle tell things about his travels. . "Clothes, vegetables even- thing. I remember one bright lit tle girl and what she carried in a basket, in particular. By the way, Betty the story is about you, too.". Now I must hear it," declared Betty. She was the sister 'of a good- for-nothing fellow who bad been working for. trc. -He was a ras cal, and I had caught him fct'-al- in, so I gave him a good shaking and turned him clt.

"Unally she turned to go. She went over to the table and pick ed up the basket and took it with her. I thought that rather cur louse and was about to make some remark in regard to it, when the cover raised slightly, as she left the room, and the head of a ven omous snake peeped out a second and then flashed back Into the basket.' - I PICTURE PUZZLE Fill the blank below With wxds cootaiqinq We four . letxc same .er . ,fy e io joct thing wrth -while to offer tor the good oi the industry. !

How beantlful Is the world just now, with all the tender green, of a second spring. and at the same time the year's fulfillment of fruits and flowers. The trees bow with their weight of red apples, the grapes are blue in the sun. and here and there a crimson tomato peeps beneath its green foliage. There is the odor of preserving going on within doors. A few pullets sing their first roundelay and a new calf plays in the barnyard plenty everywhere. Surely tvft angels wouldn't grumble at ti bill of fare. - : , What a good time the birds r having during this closed season A few violators conceal themselves In the deap woods and poffci away at forbidden game, but for once in All the years I rememW the pheasants and quail are teed.
