Instead Of Will F. Hays getting this
country out of the woods, politically speak
ing, he seems inclined to get it deeper in
the Woods.
And now Korea is demanding complete
independence. 1t seems to us one China
made the same demand and got complete
dependence.
If there had have been a pool of water
instead Of the floor, in which those over
curious women at the Ruth Garrison trial
could have fallen thnir ardor may have been
cooled.
So changed is the peace protocol just
presented to the German ENJOYS from what
it was about March 1st when President
Wilson returned to this country all het
up and demanded the senate to ratfy it
even before it had passed the body, that
President Wilson hardly recognizes his own
child.
Reports come that the postal authorities
have held up the May number Of the
Crisis, the reasons therefor we know not
but we suspect in it the Southern murder

Uncle Sam seems sorely troubled these
days with leagues and rumors of leagues
that have for their chief purpose the over
throw Of the government. Of the most
prominent are the Non-Partisan League of
North Dakota and the League of Nations
Of Washington, D. c., the permanent sue
cess of either means the final downfall of
the United States government
Recently the editor Of Cayton's Weekly
was accused Of being the power behind
the throne in a local organization. Such
a position we would have no objections to
filling, for to do so is a weakness of the
human family, but it's news to us to learn
that we had reached the goal of human
ambition without ourselves realizing it. If,
however, we have done so it's not so sweet
as we had been lead to believe it was.
You may have in the past Mr.. President
Wilson, run Congress according to your
own sweet will, but when the coming Con-
gress convenes you will be very much in the
same state Of mind as was the young boy
when he first heard "heavy, heavy hangs
over your head. Fine or superfne? Fine
The owner to kiss the homliest girl in
the house." In short Mr. President you
and your L. Of N. are doomed for genu-
inc drubbing.

Ruth Garrison may be crazy, but from
her court answers, she ain t no fool.
What has become of Turkey9 She must
have either gotten lost in hte shuttle or
her old man was too sick to be put on
trial.
Germany, it is said, is still a sovereign
state. We have our suspicious that Ger
many thinks she is suffering instead
of soverei gn state
Mr.. Mikado may not have gotten what
he wanted in America, but he most assured
ly got practically all he wanted in China,
which after all is the desideratum so far
as Japy is concerned.
When one has an opportunity to read a
noatice published about friend like the one
which appeared in "Seattles leading
weekly'' about DR.. David II. Cardwell, it is
simply, journalistically refreshing.
Great as Germany may have been in the
past her greatness is now thing of the
past. And thus do kingdoms rise and fall
like the flow and ebb of the ocean tide
No one seems to want to hear from Doug
las Storrs and may he meet the fate of
that Jep- who upbraided the Savior and
was then and there branded ''Wanderng
Jew,' and who have been compelled ever
since to wander from country to country
and from ocean to ocean, looking for some
thing, he knows not what.
Wilson fourteen points may still bear
the name, but they certainly bear darn
little of the blame and yet his publicity
agents would have you believe Wilson has
established permanent peace throughout the
world and the millennium is now us.
"Ain't it sickening?"
There seems to be no doubt but that the
Y. M. G.. A. made some mistakes overseas
as recently said George w. Perkins. Yes,
indeed it made some mistakes, and we are
inclined to think it made nothing but mis-
takes and we can not see how it can ever
live them down, but having got the money
it can afford to retire.
If the Hon. j. Weldon johnson Of New
York does not face an audience of two
thousand persons, when he rises to speak
in Seattle June 5th, then it will be due to
the fact that the Seattle folk do not ap-
preciate man of talent. Without doubt
he is one of the United States most bril-
liant platform lecturers and he is full and
overfowing with his subject
Another colored man has been lynched
in Pennsylvania and it seems that union
labor in that section has taken this grue-
some way Of registering it's protest against
the large influx of colored citizens. If the
Pennsylvania authorities do not send to
the state prison every one connected with
this recent lynching bee there then they
will be derelict to their duty.
Congress, according to a presidential
edict is to convene in extra session May
10Th and though that will be a day or so
before the president arrives from his jun
keting European trip, yet it will give the
lawmakers plenty Of time to get all het up,

ton has usually developed a gentle,
whimsical sort of humor that is as
mild as milk. He has a taking way Of
being kind to things less fortunate
than himself. and he usually has a
fad or two that are apt to be inter
esting.
And the dogs all know father,
even if the family does not. and they
have a friendly greeting for him as
he hurries On his driven way
One sweet "old dear" of this type
rescued himself from oblivion at
the eleventh hour by writing hectic
love letters to himself in disguised
feminine hand. And these, with
their burning, sizzling contents. he
would leave carelessly about in his
coat pockets, because along with
everything else, mother had always
regarded it as a sacred duty to CEN
sor fathers mail.
Well, it worked. And when the
and the unknown fair in her delicate
back hand said that the family would
be better off without him and that
she would be the last to object to
the modest income he proposed
leaving them before starting-then
the family discovered father. And
it was so much better all round than
waiting for them to learn of his
virtues through the obituary column.
Oh, father was wag when he
wrote those fiery love letters to
himself, and no mistake!

My IdealL leading
Man
By EDETH ROBERTS

Bring on the Vikings, for among
the sea-rovers I could find the ideal
leading man. The brunette is geo.
graphically of the south, with its
languor and inaction, but the blonde
giants of the north suggest to me
action and conquest-and more than
that, power and poise, two inesti-
mably valuable historic adjuncts.
The leading man should be big
and tall and broad, yet with the
grace of good breeding. His fea-
lures should reflect generous
spirit. Let them be rugged, strong
and firm. There are enough women
in the world to supply the beauty.
My ideal leading man is the herman
with only enough civilization to
prevent him from eating raw meat
and falling over his feet-and mine
while dancing!

physique of James ]. Corbett, the
impressiveness of Tyrone Power,
the grace of Rodolfo de Valentino
or Kenneth Harland, and the nerve
of Sidney Grant
And if I can't get-just that-at

This is the type of martyr who is
constantly consulted on the tele-

really know him, never actually see

the invisible Central at the other
end of the phone; he may be sum-

And he is summoned, poor dear,
to be told that the last cook he
brought home is not satisfactory.
Her breath smells of vanilla and the
ragout she made for lunch was un-

Angry Stars

What is the best way to make a
picture star angry? For in order to
look angry--as she must do on oc-
casion-she must really be angry.
Probably the most direct way OF
doing it would be to tell her how
much better her rival in the next
set could get the scene across
But then the trouble would be to
pacify her in, time for the final
clinch with the hero.
So usually the director leaves it
to the star to work up her own rage,
and this is how some of them do IT,:
Priscilla Dean: II hate music
when | am playing. So | have the
Universal City musicians strike up
tune just as the scene starts. 1t
never fails"
Dorothy Phillips: Il like music
when | am playing So l have the
band play offkey. 1t makes me
