MORE PATERNALlSM

Really, 1t is high time there was
some limit put to the paternallsm oil
government when It comes to ask
ing the president to instruct the de-
partment of Agriculture to make eN-
periments and discover the kind OF
grass best suited for golfing green
where is it going to end?
Not that the president and several
thousand of his countrymen and
countrywomen are not deeply inter
ested in the answer, but because TINS
starting of the government IN the
sporting business offers precedent for
all sorts of strange governmental ac'
tivities. The golfers are inspired by
the fact that the president is an ard
ept devotee Of the ancient game.
But are not the baseball fans ana
football rooters the howlcrs. the ten
mis- PLAYERS. the QUOT throwers, the
indoor and outdoor skaters. and all
the other pleasurers equally entitl-
ed TO the helpful recosnitton OF tno
government? Having selected the
grass the next request upon the GOV
ernment might be for course TO
grow the grass on and eventually we
might be having a department OF
sports with a member in the cabinet
and an amnibus sports appropriation
hin filled with pork to be TAXED
TO death in the senate.

That poor old word ought to
have pension when this crool war
Is over
And thank heaven it is over
over in Europe.
Whenever the President sends in
an ultimatum ne uses the word
solemn for fear the foreign gov
ornment he's writing to will think
he is kidding
It's just as if neighbor ran
over your only child and crushed it.
and You said
Don't you do that again-you
rude thing And 1 am in earnest
about it, too,
When the Italian government
took up the case Of the Ancona, she
used the word
Everybody who prepares any
formal protest against any sort Of
outrage cmploya that weary and
threadbare adjective
Why not give it a vacation?
Why not say:
We hereby frivolously protest,
maudlinly object, ribal1ly kick
laughingly call halt, to or on this
monkey business
That would give us a linguistic
variety and be just as effective.

He'd do the same thing for his

Little Rock, May II. - The Gov. has appointed s. V. Bracy, a local druggist. as a member of the State Board of Pharmacy, to succeed pr. John B. Bond. of Little Rock, resigned, T h e board met yesterday for the eX- animation of applicants, of whom 64 registered the largest class in the history of the state. It is probable that this is due to some some extent to the law enacted by the last legislature giving the Board the right to prosecute persons who conduct drugstores without registered pharmacists.
