NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


The Governor the Goat
Carson City News: Every session
lot of freak laws are showed through
the Legislature. The fact that dis
cussion or defeat of such bills would
tread on some ones toes such bills are
allowed to get over and are then
slipped over to the Governor for his
approval or veto. The Governor has
always been made the goat by the
Legislature. II is realized often that
bill never intended to meet his ap-
proval. and rather than disturb some
ones feelings on a pet measure the
bill is held until well toward the
close of the session and then passed
with the hope that the chief execu-
tive will step on it. The same old
story is told this session. The Gov
ernor has half a dozen such measures
laid to one side and will put the
clamps on them.

ON OUR OWN TERMS.

Senator Edge, of New Jersey, makes the very
good point that if the other nations do not want
this country in the league on its own terms their
sincerity is open to question.
There are many Americans who have never
for moment believed that any European pow
err eligible at this time to league membership,
would insist on any covnant clause which could
be construed us giving the league the power TO
meddle in American affairs. Of course, II we
give them that right they would very naturally
take it, and having it probably would use 1t as
occasion arose But there is not the slightest
reason to believe that France and Great Britain
would not cheerfully accept any reservations OF
amendments protecting us or the Monroe doc
trine against old world interference. Neither
would Italy have any rational ground for OBJ
lection if we would mind our own business IN
the matter of F'iume.
Europe might be willing enough to exploit
us if we allowed it, but the nations will be
quite content to get us into the league on our
own reasonable terms, for the service that we
can do for them We are believed to be just
and well disposed and are known to be gener-
Gus and rich We are asking nothing OF Europe
We have no need to join the league and could
not be coerced to do so. Let us make 1t per-
fectly plain that we go in on our conditions ana
will get out when we see fit. Any nation which
is not satisfied with that may be safely credit
ed with concealed designs which have not Our
welfare in view.

DISAPPOINTMENT CAUSE OF
THE PRESIDENTS BREAKDOWN

Washington Correspondence of
st. Louis Post-Dispatch There
is greater tragedy in President
Wilson's illness than appears IN
the surface. Nervous exhaustion
is, of course, the cause. AS
everybody knows, the president
has spent himself unsparingly to
secure adoption of the league OF
nations. But that fact, while in
itself an adequate explanation III
his breakdown, is not full
statement of the case.
His exhaustion, in the opinion
of competent observers who have
followed the course of events
by another factor-disappoint-
ment.
Look back a few months to
the time when the president was
speaking not alone to America,
but to the peoples of the whole
world, and was being acclaimed
as the prophet of new order.
Buoyed up by the worlds warm
approval and by his own sincere
convictions, he threw himself
whole heartedly into the task Of
winning the practical politicians
of Europe and America to ac-
ceptance OF his program of
idealism.
On his first return to this coun-
try from the Paris conference,
bringing with him the tentative
draft of the league covenant, he
seemed in a fair way 10 achieve
his purpose. His manner then
was exuberant. His labors had
been effective and confidence
that he would win, and devotion
to an ideal had exhiiarated him.
He had drawn strength from the
warmth Of the reception given
him by the people OF Europa.
Recall the events that follow
ed: Wilson's entry into the cold
atmosphere of official Washing
ton after mis- triumph abroad; his
return to Europe, to find that, in
his absence, much of the ground
he had won had been traded
away; his second homecoming
to an America no longer spirilu-
ally uplifted and united, as 1t had
been during the war; finally his
battle with the republican ma
jority in the senate.
From the pinnacle OF world sp-
approval on which he rested IN
the early part of his stay in
Europe, the president has been
forced, step by step, down to a
level on which he finds his every
act assailed by bitter personal
and political enemies. For what
he believes is shining ideal,
which America and the world
should accept without caviI, he

must fight In the arena of par
tisan politics.
This is the disillusionment, in
evitable perhaps. but not on that
account less poignant, that has
come to the president He is a
disappointed as well as physi-
cally exhausted man, and his
failure to rally more quickly Is
due to the psychological factor
that complexities the physical.
The personal character of the
fight against Wilson, on the part
of his more extreme opponents,
is indicated by the remarks
made about his illness. First
announcements of curtailment Of
his trip were greeted with in
situations that the president was
only shamming to excite sympa-
thy. and. inconceivable as it may
seem, remarks Of this character
continued to be made even in
the face of indubitable evidence.
Nothing could better indicate the
bitter nature Of the opposition
to the president.
Any further confirmation Of
the presidents illness than that
already made public would seem
to be unnecessary, but, In view
of what has been heard in Wash
ington, 1t may not be out Of
place to state here that Presi-
dent Wilson is indeed very sick.
Any insinuation to the contrary
is false and unworthy. Every
reporter who accompanied him
on his trip will testify that he
labored under an increasing
strain and eventually broke
down. He stood UP gamely to his
self-imposed task to the very
limit Of his physical ability.
A consideration to be taken
Into account in appraising the
physical and mental strain upon
the president is the fact that, for
one reason or another, he now
lacks the close and continuing
support of the little group Of
strong men on whom he formerly
leaned. McAdoo resigned from
the cabinet and moved away
from Washington. e. M. House
Is in Europe, well-founded report
says, moreover, that he is dis
credited in the eyes of the adj
ministration. Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson, likewise has lost
caste. Bernard M. Daruch, still
firm supporter OF the president,
Is necessarily less close to him
than when he was here steadily
as chairman Of tho war indus
tries board.
To the tragedy of the presi-
dents disappointment must be
added that of his isolation. He
fights his fight practically alone.

1T SAVES TIME.

A big New York drug store has
been advertising that it will sell no
more liquor until the law against
the sale Of intoxicants may be re-
pealed
The purpose Of that advertisement
was interesting The store wanted
to save the time of its salespeople--
the time required to explain that the
store was obeying the law
These advertisements, like all
store advertisements, saved the time

irODAY,S BIZ OF VERSE
the DESERTED VILLAGE.

Sweet Auburn! loyeiest village of the plain,
Where health and plenty cheered the aboring swain.
Were smiling spring its earliest visit PAID,
And parting summers lingering blooms delayed
Dear lovely bowers of innocence and ease,
Seats youth when every sport could please,
How often have loitered DER thy green
Where humble happiness endeared each scene!
How often have paused on every charm,
The sheltered cot, the cultivated farm
The never failing brook, the busy mill,
The decent church that topped the neighborlng MIL
The hawthorn bush, with seat beneath the shade
For talking age and whispering lovers made
How often have l blessed the coming day,
When toll RENTING lent its turn to play,
And all the village train, from labor free
Led I'D their sports beneath the spreading tree,
While many pastime circled in the shade
The young contending the old surveyed;
And many a gambol frolicked DER the ground,
And seights of feats of strength went round
Sweet was the sound when oft at evenings close,
Up yonder hill the village murmur rose;
There as passed with careless steps and SLOW,
The mingling notes softened from below;
The swain responsive the milkmaid sung,
The sober herd that loved TO meet their young;
The noisy geese that gabbled Ger the pool,
The playful children just let loose from school;
The watchdogs voice that bayed the whispering wnf
And the loud laugh that spoke the vacant mind
These all in sweet confusion sought the shade,
And filed each pause the nightingale had made,
But now the sounds of population fail,
No cheerful murmurs fluctuate in the gale,
No busy steps the grassgrown footway tread,
But all the bloomy flush of life is fled

and women who want certain things
do not have to go from store to store
in search for the articles of their
choice. They learn where thy can
find the goods they want-the style.
color and kind, and at the price they
can pay-from advertisements. That
saves their time, and saves the time
Of store clerks.
This, says the advertising associa-
ton, is one of the reasons why truth
ful advertisements pay for them
selves and more. A salesman or
salesgirl In a store that advertises
can, as a rule, sell more goods in a
day than those who work in stores
which do not tell Mrs. Housewife
about their goods in advance of her
trip downtown. They sell goods
faster.f Their days pay Is distribut.
ed over greater volume of sales.

INEXPEDIENT PUBLICITY.

The chemists are hard at the food problem;
they are devoting themselves to enrichment Of
certain staple foods with reduction in cost of
production There is no more useful task to
which our chemists could turn and already
they foresee results that mean much to US.
Now it is at the risk Of seeming ingratitude
and non-appreciation Of timely effort that a
warning seems needed by our chemists. If their
fine endeavor to contribute to feeding US at a
lowered cost is to be of wide benefit it had best
be made without too much publicity for its di-
rect results. For we are perverse people in
the matter of foods, toward which we behave,
when we can, much as we do toward our quiet
intimacies To advertise food as a scientific
result; as a product that is more nutritious and
less costly than that for which it is suggested
as a substitute is to put the food product under
handicap. There is great inertia about
changing standards of taste Peoples choices
in viands are as reconcile as their choices Of
those whom they marry Food eugenics is
likely to have bad time of it. If the chemists
will just produce their foods, put them on

OUR SHIPS FOR OUR OWN USE.

1t is refreshing to read that the United States
shipping board has informed European coun-
tries that if they want American coal to ale
yate their fuel famine this winter they will
have to carry it in their own ships The mer-
chant marines Of Europe are busly engaged IN
building UP their commercial advantages, evil
IDENTITY depending upon America to carry their
food and fuel 1t is notorious that the food
bought with the one hundred million dol
lars appropriated by congress last spring for
the relief of Europe was transported in our
ships. a fact that was a serious hindrance to
the upbuildng of our overseas trade. The
country is to be congratulated that shipping
board officials have seen the light and are to
reserve American ships for American trade.

OUR BAGGAGE SMASHING.

Boston Commercial Bulletin: Res
pect for our country and obedience to
her laws are required of every good
citizen, but patriotism is no excuse
for shutting our eyes to our faults
and being blind to many things that
we might learn by observing the Gus
toms Of foreigners.
Until our railroads were placed
under government control, our great
transportation systems were a source
of pride to Americans. Our method
of checking baggage was SO simple and
satisfactory that we felt much COM
plimented as we saw similar sys-
TEN adopted by most of the European
nations, and we regarded the English
as slow and unprogressive because
they chung to old methods Of handling
trunks.
A traveller arriving by train In Lon
don goes to the luggage van," where
he points out his box" to q porter
and within three minutes Of his ar.
rival in the station he is on the way
to his hotel with his baggage on the
taxicab
The Englishman does not care much
for system SO long as the method pro.
duces satisfactory results. How much
better is our splendid checking system
for trunksy
A traveller arriving by train at the
Grand Central station in New York
secures a taxicab and is driven to the
inward baggage room. He gives his
check to the baggage man and is told
that the trunks from that train have
not come up yet After waiting quar-
ter of an hour he sees his trunk ar
rive on baggage truck, having tipped
porter to try to speed the trunk on
its way. The trunk being at least six
feet from the ground is not lifted from
the top Of the pile, but is pulled off
and allowed to drop by gravity. A
few such trops will smash the strong
est trunk, and will not benefit In the
least any fragile articles it may con-
tain.
Perhaps twenty minutes after arri-
val of the train the traveller may be
started on the ride to his hotel, and
the delay in New York is no greater
than in certain other big stations in
large American cities.
There is much to be proud of in the
accomplishments of those who have
built up the great American railroad
system, but when you go abroad and
see the English with no elaborate
checking system for their baggage,
don't make the mistake of saying:
I'VE do these things better in Amer
ica."

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Carroll Herald: The steel strike is
tame affair after all. How much
more spirited it would be if the parti-
cipants had access to booze where
they could be fired for all possible
developments This world is going to
be {. monotonous place to live in If
the activities of John Barleycorn are
TO be forever suppressed.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Hand it to
Senator Hitchcock! For a tried and
true friend of the administration
through thick and thin, insult and
commentator, he certainly is entitled
TO wear the blue SILK.
Davenport Times: Mayor Smith, OF
Omaha, who came very nearly being
lynched at the hands of a frenzied
mob, is native son of Iowa. True to
the traditions of his home state, the
mayor stood for law and order-and
this, in the eyes of the mob, was
crime punishable with death.
Dubuque Telegraph-Herald: Reduc'
lions in food prices are announced, out
when traced they seem to recede TO
the next township.
Manson Democrat: This profit shar.
ing idea that the labor unions ana
their politician friends have thought
out for the other fellow is all right.
II il is ever put into practice maybe the
employer will be allowed to share IN
the profits that his brains and money
produce and not be compelled to give
them to his hired help.
Fort Dodge Messenger: The Omaha
riot demonstrated that Seattle isn't the
only city that can boast Of fighting
mayor. Mayor Edward P. Smith, OF
Omaha, is right there when 1t comes
to courage. He nearly paid with his
life for trying to get the mob to let
the law take its course.
Perry Chief: Remember the time
when 1t didn't pay you for the trouble
YOU pu. in gathering a half dozen eggs?
Des Moines Capital: Senator Reed
has a right to oppose the league OF
nations. He has not been very pru-
dent in what he has said. His words
being exciting, have excited others
and hence the mob. However, the mob
spirit comes from across the ocean.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: There is
something in the air that makes men
"scrappy." Let someone make an
assertion of any kind and there will
be two or three to dispute the state
ment And they will not be particular
where the chips fly. And soon they
will be disputing among each other.

THE VIRTUE OF WALKING.

This is the season of all seasons for walking.
The cool air braces one and the enervatlng IN
fluence of the hot summers sun is no longer to
be feared The exercise of walking is enhanced
in value by the beauty of the autumn scenery and
the cares of the workaday, bread and-butter-
earning world slip away as one walks on under
the sky, whether it be the deep blue vault seen
through the autumn haze or the cloud-laden
zenith, sign of the cold that is in the air or OF
the coming of the driving rain that the true
lover of the out of doors likes to brest.
At no time of the year is the country more
beautiful than it is now The colors Of the dy-
ing vegetation and the leaves, the haze that
hangs over the landscape, the frost that rlmes
the trees, the carpet of leaves spread every
where, all have their part in the pictures OF
loneliness that greet the eye. And the snug
farmhouses, with the smoke rising from their
chimneys and the odor of burning wood and
leaves in the air seem to impart sense OF COM
fort and contentment that cannot be found at
any other time of the year. These. are not the
melancholy days for the walker. They are glor-
ious days, days that fill him with JOY as he
swings along, his pulse qulckened, his blood
tingling through his veins, rejoicing IN lie and
vigor No. these are not the melancholy days
for him. Rather are they days that fill him
with confidence in the present and hope IN the
future.
It is to be regretted that more people do not
walk The more walkers we have, the lower
the figures in the column OF disease STATISTICS
Let more of our people walk and we shall have
more pleasure, more contentment, better health
and better spirits.
Nitro. West Virginia, is for sale; it is the city
which the government built at its powder plant
at cost of seventy million dollars. The high

thousand dollars 1t is probable that this plant
contributed more useful material in the war
period than did some of the government con-
structions, but nevertheless an operation IN
simple subtraction will show that sixty-four

taxes are part of living costs as well as money
