"Iuyeterate Optimism"

The President of the United States, who
has been accused by Germans of being the

crimes she committed at the outset OF the
L boat compaign and before the United
States protested against the murder OF
women with their babies in their arms as
the accompaniment Of the battle cry
Deutschland uber allies"
The English believe that the worst which
Germany has said of herself, in declaring
her intentions, is true. The French beheve

fully to golf. He was, of course, seadog
and ignorant Of the nature Of the game
whose very rules are source OF constant
strife. He did not know that golfers
honor is so nice a point that he may lose
and regain it a dozen times within
round. Possibly he never read what Chick
Evans wrote about Jerry Travers and
what Jerry answered. Unquestionably he
never attended meeting called to decide

Cooperative Buying in Cities

In spite of the war and the element of
"war prices" the agitation for some home
remedy for prices, especially food prices,
continues to simmer. Nor is any practical
proposition in behalf of the consumer more
likely to gain ground than the hesitatlng
movement for some form of cooperative
municipal buying.
Immediate interest attaches to the fea-
sibility or non-feasibility Of such an lnstl-
tuition. Cooperative buying by consumers
in America has never reached the stage
of experiment which it has reached IN
some European countries, and conditions
here are to some extent law unto them
selves. Yet if likely to succeed at all, 1t
would succeed better in our big cities than
elsewhere. Metropolitan rents, and espe-
cially rents in. the heart Of great cities,
make the burden of food cost doubly hard
to bear, while the ability to cooperate IS,
on the contrary, double and quadruple
what it is elsewhere.
Could New York gather three hundred
thousand householders, including those Of
greater New York, pledged to organize
under certain conditions and to subscribe
81. 81 or SO apiece? Doubtless not; but
the possibility is inspiring, with even
smaller start.
The first objective of such movement
would be the elimination of the local mid
dleman's profit. Competent managers, ac-
countants of integrity and responsibility
and many other items of organization be-
sides zeal would be needed before even a
large consumers union could assure itself
of ability to outdo the average retailer IN
economic buying. Contracts would have
to be made, binding the consumers inter
ests to those of our great wholesale mar
kets, and departments would be estab-
hshed. each specializing in its particular
market. Assuming success, the retailers
some of whom have to go into lnsol-
vencv. anyway. in the course of their often
precarious career-would gradually be-
come material for employment in the
union. utilizing their experience on a sal
arv rather than on an independent basis,
the rest either hanging on for non-union
buyers or going into some other business
It would be a case Of the survival OF the
fittest: if cooperative buying could not
outbid the retailer, the whole system would
fall like a house of cards.
Assuming ultimate success, the end OF
municipal buying would be to bring the
organized consumer face to face with or
ganized production and distribution, whole
sale buying balancing wholesale selling.
City by city, system of cooperative IN
dustrial units would evolve, representing
the rights and power of the consumer ION
an organized scale and basis, and more
capable than individuals of checking ex-
cesses of power on the part Of organized
capital, and, indirectly, of organized labor,
in the great industries represented.

o wild horses-where are we running over

Where is she-the maid with the lovers

Nor sat me down her bread to break

She had poison ready in wheaton cake.
On a Thursday morn the Soldier came:
On the Thursday noon the youth lay DEAD
On the Friday to the open grave
Before his bier his horse they led
Behind his corse his mother wept.
The maden's mother thus did chlde:

The West in Current Fiction

Another Eastern magazine has noted
with excitement that 'real, live cowboy
advertising for woman eft for the West"
as a wife has received over five hundred
answers, mostly from romantic Manhattan
spinsters.
1t is a curious and fragrant thing, this
prevailing Eastern misconception of the
West, founded largely, we should fancy,
upon fiction dealing with the region,
written by certain daring adventures
who. if they have been out Of New York
at all, have hardly Jared beyond Buffalo
in their search for the primeval. Their
West is a lay figure, born in their own
steam-heated, lectric-incineratored, four
teenth-story apartments, subjected to a
grease paint makeup, and sent out to do
q song and dance for their readers. And
the easy heart of the reading public is
thrilled with the spectacular simplicity
of Goods own country"
Mountains are always terrible and grim,
in their stories. But to real Westerner
mountains are not in the least grim, but
the most intimate and kindly facts of nat
ure, shutting in a beloved scene as walls
shut in a room to make it home. Without
mountains a region seems to those who
are accustomed to them to have hardly
more privacy than vast dormitory, with
skyscrapers perhaps answering the pur-
pose of screens. 1t is intolerable to have
mountains so maligned.
We used to think we knew the West
well before we read such stories as these.
1t was our only wisdom, and dear to us.
We had lived among the mountains, we
had been at round-ups, we had ridden logs
in the river, we had fled before forest
fires. Yet we had not once CHANGED upon
3 West such as the one we have met since
in fiction. The heroines, with their flow
ing locks, always black (there seems to
be something effete and un-Western In
blond hair), and their knee-length skirts,
are quite new TO US. We, ourselves, have
nowhere seen such short skirts as on
Broadway; and the Western girls we knew
cornbed their hair and left the lasso at
home when they paid afternoon calls.
II is with remorse that we admit, also,
that we have known cowboys who wore
collars and eschewed profanity. We do
not recall one who shot out the lights
kerosene lamps) of the village through
which he rode, as a mild Sunday evening
diversion. Some Of the cowboys we knew
would sink three months wages in an all
night poker game, and return TO the range
with mild Renaissance in their eyes.
But this was-their most spectacular trait.
The five hundred New York spinsters
would be disappointed in them, we fear.

Movies for Children

From The Indianapolis Ncws)
There can be no doubt that the movies"
fill real need in children's lives, just as
they do in the lives of older persons The
motion picture has won a place second only
to that of the spoken word and the printed
page. II has slowly but surely worked itself
into almost every phase of life. Whether II
has improved or lowered public taste is a
matter about which perhaps, there can be
some debate. But there can be no argument
against the truth that the child is entitled to
protection from improper pictures.
The indianapolis board Of indorsers of mo-
ton pictures has taken steps TO make it pos
sible for careful parents to exercise some
control over the kind of pictures their chill
dren sec. The board Of school commissioners
has done well TO grant to those interested in
the movement the assistance Of the schools
in conveying to parents, through their chill
dren, the names Of picture productions which
can be classed as it for the child mind. The
project includes a plan whereby exhibitors
will endeayor to present such pictures on
Friday night

The truth is that the West entirely
lacks the vaudeville touch that the jaded
fastener likes to inject into his ideas
of it. 1t has a glory Of its own, but 1t
is not the obvious glory Of the current
fiction of the region, The marvels OF vast
spaces, of tall cedar trees pricking black
skies at night, or mountains hiding their
feet in the sea and their heads in the

Labor's Challenge

The leaders of organized labor in the
state have issued a direct challenge to
the rest of the population Of the common
wealth by voting down unanimously the
proposal for the creation of q state police
force. The State Federation Of Labor
may believe that with the sheriffs and
the militia in emergencies 'the public
authorities have now ample power and
adequate jurisdiction TO maintain order
and suppress any outbreaks that may oc-
EUR" Unfortunately that is not the fact.
Outbreaks are suppressed, eventually, but
order is not maintained meantime. And
IN the far broader field Of law enforce
pent and crime prevention and detection
4 requires only q superficial study Of the
records Of rural counties, or talks with
a few upstate district attorneys, 70 know
how the present system breaks down and
how honest men are placed at the mercy
Of crooks by reason Of the breakdown.
II was easily 10 be understood that the
Legislature should endeavor 10 enlist the
cooperation Of leaders Of organized labor
In support Of Senator Mills's bill rather
than 10 push IL 10 passage in defiance Of
their opinions. But now that any sort
Of cooperation has been rendered irnpos-
EIble, the Legislature will do well 10 enact
the bin promptly, regardless Of the labor
point Of view. Such protection as we'll
trained body Of state police will give Is
needed in this state. IF the militia should
be engaged in military service, the state
police would be invaluable. An emer-
Nency such as that is not actually at
