Extravaganza.

1t makes no difference who admins
tiers the extravaganza or how high the
purpose is, extravaganza is an evil in
itself There is somewhat in the very
fact that invites venality and corrup-
ton. The very sight of great pile
of money excites desire that too often
finds some way for satisfying itself.
The papers are full of instances of
this kind. In fact, we could write a
pretty good history of the country If
we limited our narrative to graft and
grabbing only, and yet much of it is
overlooked because it is usual and ex-
pected. Extravaganza has made many
an unearned fortune and it is doing as
much these days, especially in govern
ment contracts. This country should
hasten to apply the doctrine that an
overcharge is a crime and that profit
eering is treason. There is nothing
that so destroys the democratic level
of a nation, whether it appears on the
heights or in the depths.-Ohio State
Journal.

Strike That Failed.

Labor strikes were frequent even
In the earliest recorded days. An
important strike occurred in Egypt
during the reign of Cheops, several
thousand years before the Christian
era. While the great pyramid
erected in honor of that monarch was
In course of construction it is stated
that $4,000 workmen refused to con-
tinue their labors. They were dis
satisfied with the food furnished to
them, which was insufficient in guam
tity and poor in quality. Argument
proving useless on the part Of the
contractors, soldiers were ordered to
drive the strikers back to work, and
many thousands of them were cut to
pieces, while those who could escape
fed. The others were compelled to re-
sumo their labor.

.Rahoons Fierce Eiuhters.

When they are being hunted with
dogs an old babOon that is cornered
seizes an attacker with one hand by
he nearest limb, and, gathering up
told OF skin in the other hand, tears it
off, and throwing aside his victim,
waits for the next. In this way he
will often kill several dogs before he
gives up the fight.

Seymour discussed the pOsSi bilities Of the family circle at Spring gfield last night and suggested that the members of every family be- come better acquainted with each other She believes a social center should be developed in every home by a domestic gathering around the read ing lamp where topics of the day should be brought up for the express sion of opinion and where parents could join in the games or studies of their children.
 Dr. Seymour apparently is a fear less woman. She Gares to upset and assault the prerogatives of the indi- ViduaI If father is bound down to the irksome duties of building toy castles for the children or assisting them in their studies his prestige at the club will suffer.

WARNS AGAINST HASTE.
German Statesman Not Tn Favor of
 Hurried Adjustments.

Berlin March 14.-WaIning against a hasty solution of the German-Aus- trian problem has been sounded by Edward Bernstein one of the few independent socialists holding a ministerial post in the present gov crnment. He believes, he says in a statement, that a premature settle- ment made by forcing a union of German-N Austria with the German re- pubic would jcoDardizc Germany's s position with the peace conference, ina&much as the amalgamation of the German races before peace was concluded definitely would throw sus- uic.On on German politics.
 Once the league of nations is eStab- lshed Mr. Bernstein asserts, the Ger man-Austrian issue can he solved without mourning the risks now in NolNed and which threaten to inhu- -H~~ j'~ International situation unfa- VOrAbIy.

 "AM hOuSh the war is over, National Security remains a paramount issue, Before the war, preparedness was the outstanding feature of security. Dur ing the struggle, win -the-War' was our WatchWord. In the future, na- tional security consists in meeting cor rectly the problems of readjustment and reconstruction.
 Now that the world has been made safe for Democracy, Dom ocracy must be made safe for the world There are difficult times ahead, and every good cNizen--man or WOman-shOUld do his or her part. The natural re- action and let-down which followed the armistice must not be permitted to have more than temporary sway.
 Concerted Action.
 'Tndividual action on the part of the average citizen can accom- plish but little. Concerted action through a disintcrested and patriotic organi- zatiOn like the National Security Loamue can do much We hope and believe that every member of the Lc"@ue will not only renew his or her membership and active interest and cO-Operation but will also induce other good citizens 10 become mem bors.
