Trend Toward Arbitration.

The old monarchies are not disband.
ing the armies of Europe, though they
groan under the burden of them. Ma
tons are not dismantling battle ships,
but building more of them. Neverthe-
less, enlightened opinion and the aim
from which civilization refuses to be
diverted is kept forever in sight. The
dream of the poet is ever in view. The
powder is kept dry, but the effort to
use it as seldom as possible is I'M
abated. Members of the family of ma.
lions have fallen over one another in
their eager haste to help the cause of
arbitration by making treaties for the
peaceable settlement of controversies.
Not only this, but they have hailed
with delight the opportunity to share
another peace congress in the making
Of regulations governing belligerents
and neutrals in warfare.-Omaha Bee.

The Titanic Com Game.

In the Humbert and Chadwick case;
there was no magic, no hypnotlsm. nc
enchantment, no witchcraft. There
was only an overpowering greed ia
seize on an opportunity to get rich
quick. Every day we see men stalk
ing their money against stocked cards
and all sorts Of dishonest tricks. This
sort of stupidity has long been sup
posed to be the exclusive character
istlc Of the inhabltant Of the rural dis
tricts. the "Hayseed." the Reuben,
and they are made the butt Of all
the Jokes on the subject. but there is
no stupidity like that Of the capitalist
who bets his millions on such games
as those that are almost daily put
up by the swindlers who juggle with
big figures.

TEACH VALUE OF FORESTS.
Practical Lesson Coming Congress Is
Meant to nculcate.

1t is the greatest single effort yet
planned in this country to instill in
our people the lesson that certain
European nations took to heart sew
eral centuries ago in connection with
their forests, which they turned from
threatened destruction into a national
asset, while still older countries failed
to heed like warning of disappear
ing forests and became arid and fruit
less, writes H. M. Suter in the Review
of Reviews concerning an American
forestry congress.
1t is to teach the people to take
home to themselves the part that the
forest plays in their daily lives that
this and previous forest meetings Of
a national character have been ar
ranged-to point out to them that
reckless numbering and the denuding
Of steep hillsides have much to do
with bringing disastrous floods of re-
cent years, such as the one in the
southern Appalachian mountains,
where $16,0OO,0OO worth of property
was destroyed in two weeks.

Astroloeers Were Wrong.

According to the astrologers, the
world was to have come to an end on
Sept. IS, 1886. They had observed
with awe that at sunrise on that day
there would be a conjunction of all
the planets in Libra and no doubt the
argument was that such a collection
would be altogether too much for the
balance OF the universe. When 1t ar
rived, Sept. 10 proved to be a very
ordinary twelfth-century day. In 1924
astrology plucked up courage to try
again. This time there was to be q
universal deluge, on the strength Of
the meeting Of three planets In the
sign of Pisces. and private Noah's
ark was actually built for the occa.
sion by devout believer at Toulouse.

Judge John F. Phillips of Kansas
City came in for a good deal Of chaff-
ing in st. Louis while attending the
court of appeals there recently. Some.
one stole his handsome new overcoat
from an outer room. Other legal dig
nitaries joked numerically at his ex-
pense and even suggested that the
hat be passed to make up SIS which
the purloined garment had cost. 1t
was suggested that from the judicial
standpoint it might appear that a man
who has no overcoat and feels pressed
to take another mans would better
be provided for in place where he
will be kept comfortably warm for six
months without one. The judge re-
marked good-naturedly that judicial
ermine was poor substitute for the
missing article, and thought that per-
haps the thief would feel just as COM
Portable in the stolen coat as the right

ury Department.
Acting Secretary of the Treasury
Horace A. Taylor writes in the
Worlds Work: THE treasury de-
partment, which is charged with the
management of the national finances,
embraces many significant activities
not associated with the handling of
money. For example, the department
plans and builds all the government
buildings. 1t may be said that we
have reached a definite form of archi-
lecture for our federal structures. For
years the postoffices and custom
houses were designed after the indi-
vidual tastes of the supervising archi-
tects. Now there is general classic
form of public architecture; in some
cases, however, the architecture Is
made to conform to local conditions,
as in the case of the Annapolis post
office. Annapolis is a community of
colonial buildings to a large degree
and the new postofiice there, which
was finished this year, was built along
classic lines, but with colonial adap-
tations."
