Unusual Intorost Ima been aroused
by the arrival In tills country of a
French commission charged with the
r .ponsibllity for hpendlng a sum
running up Into the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars, possibly ns much us
$1,000,000,000. The significant tiling
about lt lu that this commission's ex
pend?an cd have nothing to do with
the war. It ls concerned only with
tho restoration of Franco after the
war.
Its purohasoH will consist almost
entirely of machinery and construc
tion material. France, tho commis
sions explain, Is looking iorward to
the rebuilding of her ruined indus
tries and commerce. That means the
rebuilding of all the factories de
nt royed In northern France. It means
the rebuilding and equipment of ail
her factories and mines and trans
portation systems with new machin
ery of the best typo. Tho machine is
going to bo at a premium in Europe
aftor the war, for manual labor will
ho scarce, and France will want the
best machinery In the world-which
sho can buy only In America. iSho
will "Wane cars mid locomotives and
rails and commercial conveniences
without end. She will want material
for bridges and buildings and ships.
Belgium will have the same wants.
And so, to a less degrco, will Eng
land and Russia and Germany and
Italy and tho smaller belligerent
countries.
In all this, be it noticed, there ls
no threat of tho United States be
coming a dumping ground for lor
eign laborers and foreign goods tho
moment the war IB over.
France and tho other warring na
tions plan to keep their men at home
for the great work of reconstruction.
It will take them years to restore
their industries to thoir old produc
tiveness. Meanwhile ikey wi? be
burdened by war debts, heavy taxa
tion and high prices. We need not
fear them. We Bbnll have our .bends
full manufacturing and soiling them
tho thing!', thoy need and can't buy,
or won't buy, anywhere else.
POLITICS AND THE BIBLE
The Scriptures bid fair to play an
Important part In the national do
fen se discussion. With Mr. Bryan
quoting texts from tho, utterances ot
the Prlnco of Peace and President
Wilson counter lng 'with'ringing versos
fruin the prophet Ezekiel, r-nd thc ex
tremo militarist* Chiming ' in with
trumpet-blasts', about the "God of Bat
tles" reminiscent of the old Israolitlsh
warn, and the followers, of every fac
tion hunting through the Good Book
for ammunition, and disinterested vOh
lookoro lookipgv Up references to
prove the authenticity, the Bible ls
assuming frosh Interest.
Ne edi us a to say, it won't do any of
thc lender j br followers any harm to
oboy St. Paul's injunction to "search
tho Scriptures.''; Ol course, they can
all find what they're looking, for.
There are plenty of passages ' in the
Bible that can bo wrested to the sup
port ot militarism or pacifism/ ot dc?
fensivlsm or submiBsivism or any
other shade ot argument policy im
aginable. The Bible ls as broad and
varied as human life. And thetis all
tho more reason for reading lt, even
when lt's read for purely partisan and
controversial purposes. *f
WANTS ITS ?LICKER? v
Chicago wasts its beer, oh Sunday
even moro than other days, law or no
law, and. most particularly wants
everybody to know lt. '
- Its recent "pcrsor.nl liberty" parade
was tho most remarkable d?monstra
tion on either side of the liquor ques
tion In the history ot the country.
It'was -a popular protest against
Mayor Thompson's action in ordering
the city's' saloons closed on Sunday.
According., to on official count, moro
; than 44,000 men, women and children
I participated,h> the music of countless
brass bands and. the flaunting of
j countless mottoes.and.legends. Of this
; number, 26,616 marched on foot. There
were 2,242 vehicles, mostly automo
biles: ..
The mayor-who pledged himself
before election to be;MllberaV ba th?
liquor issue, sud iben went rack on
lils pledge-doubtless felt the force ot j
the demonstration. Th? paraders
numbered three times as many as
marched In the "prospority parade^
that followed his election,- and pearly
eight Unies a? many as participated in
a "dry'v parado la the mayor's honor.
Presumably Chicago cares moro for
its liquor on Sunday than lt doe's for
either prosperity. or temperance, ' :
Chicago should no longer bo called
the "Windy City." Tho "Wet City?
would bo a more appropriate tl tie,\??t*

Congressman darner of Toxas lian
distinguished himself hy giving frank
and unblushing expression to the
philosophy of political pork. Others
may disguise their pork barrel activi
ties In a garb of patriotism, but Rep
resentative Carner Is no hypocrite. Ho
Ja in congress not for any such fool
purpose us conserving public funds
und voting money according to a wiBe
and efficient plan of expenditure.
"Every time one of tho other fel
lows gets a ham," ho says, "I am go
iug to do my best to get a bog."
And he geU$ the porker all right.
"There are half a dozen places in
my district," he hoasts, "where fed
eral buildings are being erected or
have been recently constructed at a
cost to the government far in excess
of the actual needs of tho communi
ties where they aro located. Take
Uvaldo, my home town, for instance.
We are putting up a postofllco down
thero at a cost of $00,000, when a
$5,000 building would be entirely
adequate for our needs."
Thus Congressman Garnor demon
strates hi? peculiar fitness for tho of
fice which bc adorns. Ho is Bent to
congress not ns a statesman, but as
a Bort of business agent to Juggle
money from tho federal treasury Into
thc pockets of his constituents. His
district may be assumed to deserve a
certain proportion of the national ex
penditures, based on the needs of Ita
population, ills value as a congress
man rises in proportion as he gets
more money for his district than it
deserves. The rest of the country,
of course ls of no importance.
And his constituents, wo aro led to
Infer, approve of this porcine states
manship. And othor constituencies
judge their congressmen by tho samo
porcine standards. Or don't they?

Splendid Recruit Spoiled Ry An Un

Syracuse, N. Y" Nov. 13.-Because a
thin membranous filament connect

Frank Leque, llottsvtlle, L. I., thought
he would mako a splondid recruit for
that semi-aquatic organization, the
United States Marine Corps, and waa
keenly disappointed when Sergeant
Ceorge B. McGee,- In -charge of the

for that, very reason. Now Leque be

A War Contract.
Five million yards of woolen cloth I
In a Bingle contract-a war contract,
of course! Five million yardi o? comfy
wool to clotho tho Russian'fighting
men this winter and noxtf A strip of
cloth a yard wide that would stretch,
roughly speaking from ocean to ocean
across our land! What a mighty task
and ono that, though lt may play as
important a part in victories as will
shrapnel or machine guney we cannot
hut look upon with a different, eye
from that which views contracts for
doath-deallng instruments.^,;
It is hardly necessary, to say that|
?this is the .largest individual contract
ever entered into by the woolen in
dustry and it speaks wonders for the
vastness of our American manufac
turing resources. It means enormous
profits, of cohrse and a development
in plants and skilled persbnei that
will keep unemployment at-H distance
for many months to come. It le al

WHAT HOGS TO FEED
Pigs Weighing 1H0 to i?0 Pounds Aro
Best to Begin With.
Ciumaon College, Nov. ?3.-Tiicf?
are morojiogs In iSouth Carolina now

herd for fattening for the winter mar

duction.
For fattening, select pigs weighing.
I from 130 to 150 pounds and in good
I condition. They should bo fattened
?for at least GO days and perhaps
75, if it requires so long to bring them
up to a weight of 180 to 200 pounds.
