Oie., and the plank for the repeal of Automobile public liability and pror SOME LEGION PLANKS. the Eighteenth Amendment, that comparatively little mention was made of the other planks in the Legion platform. Some of them, however, are distinctly significant and would have caused a great deal of comment had they not bee--n overshadowed by the resolutions on the bonus and prohibition repeal. For example, the American Legion went on record as opposed to the recognition of Soviet Russia. For some time there has been a subtle campaign to bring about such recognition on the mistaken theory that it would help return us to prosperity, a theory which fortunately has fallen on deaf ears so far as the administration at Washington is concerned. Tire Region resolutions also declare against American adherence to the League of Nations or the World Court. The League is a dead issue so far as the United States is concerned, but there will be another effort to get- - us into the World Court when congress convenes again. At that time more will doubtless be heard of the en- Legion pronouncement against tangling foreign commitments. It is, perhaps, not so significant that the Legion went on record as against the cancellation of the war debts. Practically ninety-eigper cent of the American people, regardless of race or creed, are against debt cancellation, and both great political parties are on record against it. But doubtless the resolution of the Legion will be received with tears over in Europe where the professional politicians will say that it is cruel for American veterans to go on record as desiring that their comrades across the ocean pay their honest debts. At any rate these other planks in the American Legion platform are deserving of some notice. ht TIIE MACHINE. In a recent article, Dr. James S. Thomas, of the Commonwealth and Southern corporation, analyzed the machines effect on mankind. Dr. Thomas deductions are quite different from those of the critics of the machine, who blame It for all the ills of mankind from the Flood to the World War. He shows that it constitutes the basis of our modem economic world that it has liberated men from arduous tasks, not enslaved them; that during most of its brief history, it has created employment, not unemployment; that it has cut down accidents, not increased them; that it makes for wealth, comfort and a finer civilization, not a poorer one. During a recent period in American history, 1,957,000 people were displaced from jobs because of increased mechanical efficiency and at the same time new trades and professions, largely resulting from the machine, gave jobs to 2,537,000 directly and 2,000,000 indirectly. In 140 years we increased our national income from $400,000,000 to and our national wealth from five hundred million to three billion behundred and seventy-fiv- e cause of that machine. The machine, after all, is simply a medium to make use of natural forces. It is part of evolution an inevitable step in the march of the world from the Stone Age to the present and whatever may be in the future. And, after the debts and credits have all been entered, and the cancellations made, it is found that the machine has been the friend, not the enemy, of the common man. are of their control poliunder the wholly cyholders.

Things are not looking so good for friends of the League of Nations in the United States so far as getting Uncle Sam entangled in Europes super government is concerned. But that isnt the worst of it. Things are not looking so good for the League in Europe or in the Orient either. Some of the friends of the League are now beginning to fear that unless something favorable happens pretty soon the whole structure may go down in a political earthquake of some kind or another. And there seem to be plenty of earthquakes in the making. The real trouble lies in the fact that the League, and we say this with regret rather than in criticism, has been unable to do the things which its sponsors promised that it would do. Take the case of the Oriental situation for example. The League has been powerless to stop the steady forward march of the Japanese into Chinese territory. It has been powerless to. stop the creation of an independent state in Manchuria under Japanese guardianship. All it could do was to appoint a committee to investigate and report back to the League, although every League mem ber could guess what the report would be before the committee started investigating. The world newspapers have kept the public pretty well informed. Now if the League seeks at this late day to block the efforts of Japan to establish herself in Manchuria, Japan would withdraw from the League and the organization will suffer what might well be a fatal blow. And the League is weakened in this crisis by the fact that France openly sympathizes with Japan and the further fact that Great Britain, the other powerful member of the League, has so many troubles of her own that she doesnt want to take on any more in the Orient and is inclined to let Japan have her way. Furthermore, Great Britain during the past few years has been inclined to stand more aloof from the League either because she desires a week League rather than a strong one or because she thinks, as is the truth, that the League is dominated politically by France. Another situation confronting the League is the controversy over GerThe Germanys proposal to mans say that at the time the Versailles treaty was drawn up there was an understanding that the allied nations were to disarm. A dozen years have passed and European armaments are greater than ever. Germany has already withdrawn from the disarmament conference. If France insists on an investigation of Germanys alleged secret armaments there is good grounds for believing Germany will withdraw from the League of Nations. This means that Italy will withdraw, too, unless Great Britain can bring enough pressure to bear to keep her in, and it is doubtful whe- re-ar- THE DANGEROUS DRIVING AGE. A serious responsibility rests on parents whose sons and daughters, under the age of 20, drive automobiles. It is their duty to impress upon budding men and women the vital ne- cessity for care, courtesy and obe- dience to traffic rule3 at all times. The most dangerous age for drivers is under 20, according to E. E. Robinson, secretary of the National Bureau of Casualty and Surety underwriters.

In the meantime it might be proper procedure on the part of the American voter to ask a few questions of the candidates he is supporting. The present administration at Washington and the Republican party stands committed against membership in the League. The Democratic party formerly advocated such membership and many of its leaders still favor it. Governor Roosevelt, the Democratic candidate for president, was formerly an ardent advocate of the League but has recently soft pedaled on the proposition as has his partys platform. Here, however, is a question loaded with dynamite as any party will find which at any time seeks to entice the United States into a new or remodeled League of Nations. A STEP TOW ARD PROSPERITY. In a recent address, John Hays Hammond urged the rehabilitation of silver as a step toward the restoration of prosperity. He pointed out that one of the ma- jor causes of world depression has been the appreciation of gold in countries, and the depreciagold-standa- tion of silver in the countries. The drop of silver from 60 to 80 cents an ounce has reduced by half the wealth and purchasing power of millions of people. Silver has long been the poor mans gold and in what Mr. Hammond calls the backward countries, silver alone is accepted as a medium of exchange. There is not gold enough to keep the commerce of the world in motion. In addition, the supply of gold from the Rand, which has supplied half the worlds needs for three decades, is expected to decline materially. No potentially important gold fields are known to exist. A practical solution is rehabilitation of silver so that it may take its old place in the machinery of finance and commerce. silver-standar- Contains Natural Iodine When the earth wai young its soil was rich in Iodine, but the snow and rainfall of ages have washed and carried it to the sea.
