Mfra' Distributing Co.t Tonkers, N. T. mm Labor in the United states Is Better Paid Than Labor Anywhere Else By SAMUEL GOMPERS, in New York Times. in any country in Europe is there a trade union movement MOT free from internal discord, as free from bitterness and as united and confident of the future as the trade union movement of the United States. The condition of labor in Europe is not all due to post-w- ar confusion. Labor in the United States is better paid than labor anywhere else in the world. It lives in better homes. It wears better clothes. It has more leisure. It enjoys better food. It has a wider margin of choice in determining how and where it shall live. It has more essential freedom. Finally, it has a better trade union movement with which to achieve more progress and improvement. What is of interest "to every one is the strik-ing fact, attested by every competent 'authority, that American labor i the most skillful and productive labor in the world. Of what avail are the programs of Europe if their concrete results are inferior to the results of the efforts of American labor? It is notable that the labor movements of Europe run strongly to programs and formulas. They make formulas for everything. They embellish them, decorate them, punctuate . them nicely, capitalize them freely, make speeches about them endlessly, gaze upon them worshipfully and no doubt thus please employers immensely. But the American workers prefer an increase in wages, with all the resulting opportunities, to a pleasing formula framed on the wall. We have great distances where there is no industry whatever. In point of population our country is still almost half rural and agricultural In addition, we have in our land all of the nationalities and races of the earth. In Holland there are only Hollanders, in France only Frenchmen, in England only Britishers, in Germany only Germans. We must meet and reconcile all of the prejudices of the world, bridge all the chasms oJ habit, language, thought and psychology, and employers have constantly taken advantage of that fact. There is slight similarity of any kind between the problems of labor in America and Europe, though European doctrinaires, intellectuals and superior persons generally, feel free to tell us how to order our affairs and how to enter the promised land which is yet so very far from their own shores. .152S25l525H5s525H5I52S25K25E5'S5E5 THINK Read what some of the greatest thinkers of the ages have said: "Thought rules the world."

"AIWERICAFIRST'' STILLJOURPDLIGY ATTITUDE OF THE GOVERNMENT TOWARD EUROPEAN MUDDLE REMAINS UNCHANGED NOT SELFISH, BUT WAITING Recent Rtports That ths StaU De-partment Had Found a Plan and Would Offer Mediation Have Been Based on Ignorance. ' By EDWARD B. CLARK Washington. If Washington should try to count the number of attempts which have been made to set forth the real position of the United States government toward European mutters, It would be compelled to give up every other occupation for a day. There have been explanations and ex-planations, none of which has ex-plained. Recently there have been stories, some of which seemed to be authentic, that this government had found a plan which It intended to propose to act as a mediator in reparation mat-ters, and with the story came another that the European governments were prepared to accept the offer and also, seemingly, the future was bright for understandings and for physical and financial peace in Europe. Another story was to the effect that the United States was willing to act as mediator to adjust the differences between Great Britain and Prance, and thut after these were adjusted it was thought it would be possible for these two countries, dominant ones as they are, to agree with the other allies on a, course which would make Ger-many pay up and put an end to all thought of war and of other things menacing. A great many Americans were brought to believe that the end of trouble was in sight "because America intended an offer of mediation." Some-one who had access to the columns of a great many newspapers misinter-preted what was said at the State department, and also seemingly had no knowledge of things that had been said and done by the department la the recent past. The result was that old things were covered with a new dress which did not fit It was old news taken as new news with a glit-tering promise that all soon would be well across the water. No Change of Our Attitude. Time after time in the stories of the day European affairs soon were to be settled by American action, but time after time the pens which wrote the stories were confuted. Seemingly to-day the United States, so tiur as the President Col via Coolldge is using today the study In the Whit? Houst which has been used by every PrettW dent since the days of Jefferson. This room, sacred to study purposes and to private conferences on affairs of state, la situated on the second floor of the White House at the south front and directly at the head of the stairs leading from the corridor on the main floor. It is a historic room and in It affairs vital to the nation's wel-fare have been discussed and decided time on time, It was in this room that matters concerning the War of 1812 were dis-cussed; it was here that the Monroe doctrine was formulated; it was here warm discussions took place concern-ing the Mexican war, and it was here that Buchanan tried la his vacillating way to fix upon a policy which might avert the Civil war. It was in this study that Abraham Lincoln framed the Emancipation proclamation; that Johnson and Orant considered per-plexedly the problems of reconstruc-tion ; and it was here that other Presi-dents pondered over and gave final Judgment on the affairs of state. President Harding used this room constantly. It was here that he had his favorite books, his favorite pic-tures and his favorite rlpes, a half doxen of which were piled npon ths little desk near the window. President Coolldge has entered and taken pos session and be will have aboat him those more intimate personal belong Ings which seem to aid men in the processes of thinking and of reasoning. Roosevelt's Favorite Cartoon Here. Theodore Roosevelt spent many nights in this room. lie did something which other Presidents liave not done. He placed about the room the original drawings of many of the cartoons which had to do with bis public life; some of them favorable to his strtv ings and some of them unfavorable to the cutting point. Calvin Coolldge vss a farm boy, the son of a farmer and the grandson of a farmer. "It is possible that he may feel like giving a chief place on toe wall to a cartoon which Theodore Roosevelt looked cyon daily and from which be said he believed that he re-ceived advice and possibly inspiration. The cartoon was one entitled "His Favorite Author." It represented a farmer not the farmer of carina tore bnt a. plain, high thinking fanner, a typical American reading a newspa-per, the head lines of which appeared plainly thus: The President's Mes-sage." The only figure in the cartoon was depicted as sitting before an open fire of logs reading studiously. The facs was wonderfully expressive, albeit It was homely and rugged. President Roosevelt told the writer of this article one night that when ha was in doubt about the advisability of, suggesting some line of legislation ha would place himself in front of this cartoon and look Into the face of the farmer wtio, be said, represented to administration is concerned, stands Juttt where it did two years ago save for the fact that within the two years President Harding enunciated his plan for American membership in the world court. As some one has put it, the domi-nant note in our foreign relations to-day, so fur as the State department Is concerned, is "America First." This to a greut many people who think that this country should help the world out of Its dllllcultles, probably may stem like the quintessence of lelflshneHs, but it is probable that the State de-partment does nut mean thm anything him the plain people, the high think-ing people of the United States. It Settled His Doubts. Then the President said : . "I asked myself if this farmer, representing the plain folk of the country, the real folk, would approve of what I thought about doing. It has seemed to me that I always have succeeded in getting an answer. When I have determined that he would approve, I make up my own mind to go on." President Coolldge is a fanner and from the furm it is said he has drawn his stability of character, his method of thinking und his reticence until that day comer when he knows that tie should speak. The cartoon of the farmer, which by the wnv. apiieared in the now defunct Chicago Chronicle, was the work of Mr. Lowry. Ir Is said to have a chief place today id the home of Theodore Koosevelfs widow at Oyster Bay. Many a time there have been con-ferences In this White House study about which the country knew nothing at the time. When Woodrow Wilson was president, Col. E. N. House was a frequent visitor to the White House but he almost always came and went so quickly and, so to speak, shrewdly that the newspaper men knew little or nothing of his comings and goings. It was In this study that most of the Wilson conferences took pluce. It was here thut Woodrow Wilson formulated his pluns for the pacification of the world, and here earlier he drafted his mesHHge asking congress to declare that a state of war existed with Ger-man- y. . The presidents who occupy this room stay for awhile and then leave It for all time. Its furnishings und the personul belongings . of succeeding nien chunge from administration to ad-ministration. Hut the room remains and It In fuller of historic memories than, perlwps, any other chamber of any other building. it does or does not do Is to be looked upon as being charged with a spirit of "ourselves only," The fact seems to be that the ad-ministration still is awaiting the duy when the governments of Europe can agree among themselves on some course of procedure before It shall attempt to offer to help them along the course. There are other men here, however, who say that this country should point out the course to be fol-lowed and trust to fortune that the countries of Europe would be willing to follow It. Old Nswa 8nt Out as Now. So long ago as lust December Mr. Hughes Intimated thut an Interna-tional commission might be appointed to take cognizance of the whole situa-tion in Europe and find a remedy for the existing evils. Some of the European nations seemingly thought that this wus a good proposition while others paid only the h'cd of tempo-rary courtesy to the plan. A revival of the story of this intimated plan of Secretary Hughes probably Is re-sponsible for recent stories to the effect that the United States Intended to offer mediation. Old news was played as new news by persons who did not know what the old news was. So far us can he determined, there-fore, the American position on Euro-pean affairs is Just about what It hm been. Of conrne It may elmnKe nt any time, but chances will depend alaiiixt entirely probably upon developments lu Kunpe and not upon ny likely de-viation from present Amerleiin policy under ciidltlin ax they still exist.

The Americans are always saying cheerfully, carelessly and lightly: ( "All right 1" It is their pet phrase. It is a phrase appropriate to wanW t ers, pioneers, sportsmen, hunters. are hunters, and slays they have been lucky at hunting. They have halted Indiansedtntaloes, negroes and Spaniards and Gerrr ans, gold and copper aty"oil wells, and always luck has smiled upon them. And evenings tbev,it by the fire and talk of their spoils. f Cares? Reflections? Itight or wrong? Ilunters 6 not ask questions about such things. Americans are now going thronp an era like that which Rome went throvgh when it reached the Adriati coast, Spain when it dispatched Columbus, England when it laid hand on South Africa and India. They are a people in, the bloom of its' oringtime, favored and blessed by God because of its freshness, brilliancyind efficiency. But remember, all that is right and valuable' ontains something tragic and sad. Individuals and peoples alike, everyting that is worth anything bears the noble mark of guilt, remorse and need on its brow. All the older nations carry this mark and do not seek deny it : Spain, Holland, Sweden, England, France, Germany. Creatn is tragic. The American people do not bear this old, holy sign of oration; in America there is no scar, complaint, remorse, want,, error. Ever;Jiing there k still mathematically clear ; everything comes out just as itWuld. Everhing there is still "all right !" j SIDELIGHTS ON THE SEX Some girls are a delight to ths eye and a drug to the mind. If a woman is pretty she can safely Insist on her own Imperfections. No woman is so angelic as to pre-fer a halo to a hat. The meaner men are the more they want their wives to bs angels. It is much easier to love a woman than to understand her. Marriage Is no Joke, though some women thtnk they are married to one. A woman's tongue is like her allo-wancethe smaller it Is the faster it goes. Boston Transcript. CASHING CHECKS IN GERMANY Customers Hang Up Hats and Sticks and Then Prepare for Close Examination. Bank etiquette In Germany Is unique. In one great Hanover bank I watched the customers. First they walked to v T the center of the big marble lobby and hung up their hats and sticks Just as you would do here on entering a hotel dining room. You soon understand why they strip for action when you sea what an exhaustive test of endurance It is to get a check cashed. You pass it in nt one window; clerks gather, whisper, study the check, telephone upstairs, make notes on Its margin doubtfully. "Augenblick 1" they Anally tell you which means wait an eye-win- k. You wait Others crowd about the window. Finally you, too, hang up your hat und coat and sit down to look at a picture book on the reading table In thA Inhhv Tf vnn trfnnra nri and. denly, maybe you cotch a bunch, of clerks whispering together, looking at you suspiciously. Finally, If you're lucky, you heur your name shouted, and at another window a pile of marks Is pushed out. Every deposit account here has a number, and this number must show on your check. Some firms even print their oflicial bank account number oa their letterheads. Saturday Evening Post YOU KNOW IT Pride is a hard master. l There Is no gospel in a kick.

No Civilization Lasts Long Unless the People Are Trained to Their Tasls By PROF. M. V. O'SHEA, University of Wieonsin. The conditions in city life have changed marked; during the last few decades. The individual home has been constantly losing its dis- -: tinctive character. Fifty years ago, even in the city, yotoig and old spent a considerable part of their time in their own homes. Today most of their time is spent outside of their homes; and even then they are in their own homes, their friends are there with them. j The agencies in the city designed to help people to while away their time have been constantly increasing out of all proportion to an increase in the size of the cities. This simply means that peoole are spending much more of their time together in groups than they did formerly. The tendency of this new life is to make young people more respon-sive, more alert, more self-relia- nt in the presence of others, perhaps even "smarter" than was true in the old order. But at the lame time, young people do not have training outside of the school in appli-cation to any task. No civilization can Wing endure unless the1 people are trained to apply themselves to their tasks, whatever they mav he, for a long time; that is to say, until the tauks are salved. A man may be brilliant or he may be useful, bnt the brilliant man doesn't have to work so hard. A dreamy, Imaginative nature, even though that of a genius, doesn't car a rap for "opportunities." War is one 'of the greatest plagues that can afflict humnnlty; It destroys religion. Martin Luther.
