PREPARATION TO COLOMBIA
A Californian Who Thinks We Cannot
Go Too Far.
10 the EdltOr OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: All Republicans are not OF the
opinion expressed in The Tribune Of
June -. in an editorial entitled "Rec-
onciliation with Colombia Too One
sided" On the contrary. many of us
are decidedly Of the opinion that if
the divine economy had one thing in
view in the election of Mr.. Wilson to
the Presidency and OF the presence of
Mr.. Bryan in his Cabinet it was to
correct the stupendous blunder that
was made IN the matter at issue. If
$4,000. 900 and an apology to Colombia
v i'll bring US back the respect and CON
fGence Of South American peoples
which was lost TO us in the Panama
Republic transaction it will be a cheap
nsideration.
| have travelled somewhat in South
America and have met many South
Americans, and the impression ! got
was that they look upon everything
originating in this country with suspi-
cion--ever since the Panama coup. To
say that Colombia is "blackmailing
US is absurd. The fact is we "black-
lacked Colombia. Let's be frank and
call "a spade a spade" "An honest con-
fessIon is good for the soul" of ma
tior as we'll as OF an individual.
We had much better paid Co
lombia every dollar that she demanded
al the time than have recorded against
Us method that breathes Of the dark
or ages in history.
Until we right the wrong we are los
ing millions Of trade with South Amer
lean countries. We can get it all back
by showing them that we are strong
enough to admit our mistake. Let's
do that. Get busy and forget it. It's
business we are after. and for that we
can stand n whole lot of sentimental
humility, no matter how much some
mems feelings arc hurt, who ordinarily
have very little feeling for the feelings
of others. &. SCHWEITZER.

ing your money upon me-" The man
might retort, you flatter yourself. You
are not at all my style OF woman, and
never had the slightest idea of proposing
to you"
That would leave the woman in a
ridiculous position, and so, no matter
how honest she may desire to be, she is
not at liberty to declare her sentiments
to a man until he has first expressed
his own.
This also is true. The idotic convention
that rules such matters does not permit a
woman to go frankly and candidly forth
and select her mate. She can't pick out
the man she would like to have for
husband and tell him so.
All that she can do is TO sit up with her
fingers crossed for luck, and hope and
pray that some man that she can admire
and love will come along and discover her
and ask her to marry him.
Now men are like a flock OF sheep.
Where one goes the others follow. No
man has the perspicacity and courage to
go to see a girl that no other man will 60
to sec He follows the crowd, and this is
why the girl who has only ono beau has
that beau taken away from her and given
to the maiden who has ninety and nine.
All women know this simple fact OF
masculine psychology, and so that is why
girls lead" men on, and why they smirk
and smile over seniIe old grandpGs and
| callow kidlets, and laugh at the dun
stories of tedious Founders, flatter self
complacent cyclists and suffer Themselves
| t. be bored almost to extinction by weary
/ Will!es whose presence makes them want

| II is only by drawing the multitude OF
Toms, Dicks and Harries about them that
women stand a sporting chance OF some
where among the number finding the real
men that they are looking for, and whom
the gods may be kind enough TO give
them for husbands This is necessarily
often hard on some honest fellow who is
really misled by the cOme-on smile of
| woman who is not mean nor heartless,
but who has been forced by convention to
play the game according to the rules Mrs.
! Grundy has laid down.
| One of the chief reasons why women
| should be given the right TO propose, and
be as free TO pick out their life partners
as men are, is because it would enable
them to play the game Of hearts fairly
and squarely and honorably. and not
force them to have 10 resort 70 tricks that
are dark and ways that are vain, as they
do now.
There can never be honor between the
sexes until there is equality and they

lance and the apparent number OF the
visible stars projected upon IT,
A curious fact has been brought out by
recent careful enumerations of the stars
visible to telescopes and Photographic in
struments. II appears that the total
probable number OF the stars is equal to
the total population OF human beings on
tho earth-a star for each man. woman
and baby, Of all the nations and races
In other words, the calculated number OF
the stars is between 1.5OOOOOOOO and
1000 0O0,0oO, which is quite close to the
estimated population OF the earth at the
present time
The astrologers are welcome to seize
upon this fact and TO try what they can
make out of IT, Perhaps they will claim
that the coincidence in number is abso-
lutte, (Which no astronomer would pre-
tend to ASSERT, and that It proves tho
truth OF the old astrological dictum that
every human being is governed by starry

But what of the woman who does prac-

arts and wiles to win the heart of a man

who accepts his attentions and his gifts
without ever expecting to make any re-
turn for them? Is she not as culpable
and blameworthy as the man?

with a mans heart as a kitten plays with

The eyes OF different persons likewise
vary greatly in their sensitiveness TO
starlight. Some cannot distinguish stars
below the nth magnitude. while others
easily see those Of the sixth magnitude,
which are two and half times fainter
than the fifth magnitude ones.
Broadly speaking. there are between
5000 and 1900 stars In the whole sky

good eye on a clear, moonless night. But
that does not mean that so many can be

than fifty stars appear bright enough

more than half dozen would be called
