DAYS OF HALCYON REST"

From the Louisville Courier-Journal
 0 17oW many men there are, beyond
 |6 5o of the wage-earning and sal c e aried classes, whose tenure is the merest slippery foothold and who would feel as if they had found fortune if they could retire under the conditions of the Morris pension plan. The commer- tirement would mean unlimited leisure in which to devote themselves at home to "the mild concerns of ordinary life,' as George Washington described, in Homeric terms, farming on the Potomac.
 To the desk-worn office man. an un- travelled, unwilling stay-at-home read CT of books a toiler filled with wander lust, the prospect of leisure pay would be treasured as means of realizing long nourished dreams of gypsing adventure. lured by every road, because beyond the bend of any road hitherto untraveled lies something of interest as yet unseen, are as happily abroad in the next county as others are upon continent overesas. To the lover of guns and dogs leisure
 would mean unlimited freedom out of

To hundreds of that considerable company of breadwinners freedom would provide opportunity for endless, leisurely, delightful puttering with boats and with

THE SONG OF THE STARS


 Frank L. Stanton. in the AtlantA Co--s stituton. . A new-made world heard the Shadows
 say: A thousand-thousand years away, With desert places in dim review lThe dust of stars we never knew), You're a wonderful world In your wild, wide sweep, And you startle the stars In the spaces deep But we dreamed all that Ere we went to sleep! You have shaken Times Shadows widel awake With thunder of heavens as tho heights you take, And you hold to the heights in the blazel
 O the lights, And you order the days. bind and loosepI
 the nights. You're a wonderful world. Like the Light in your leap To the gates where the keys Of all wonders they keep; But we dreamed all that Ere we went to sleep We climbed as you climb in the years
 without date
 Since the First Man waved farewell to
 Eden's lost gate; And we said to the starlight that kissed
 dust and clover,
 That God Himself envied the earth we d made over. Twas a wonderful world. Back to rest we shall creep, For we dwelt, with old wonders. Now Time-hidden-deep; We were weary of wonders.
 And God gave s>ep!"

touts and hangers-on. He saved his money, instead of throwing it away to prove himself "good fellow," and that is something your true "sport" cannot forgive. The gay life had no appeal for Willard. He was family man who preferred the society of his wife and children, whenever he had leisure, to the blandishments of self seekers and the dissipation of large cities. Contrary to the established custom in the sporting world, he took care of himself and invested his money. The accusation that he might have fought for his country and didn't does not apply to him with any more force than it does to tens of thou sands of other middle-aged men of family. Willard was beyond the mili- tary age and the army did not want him any more than it did other men of his years who were registered and ready to go if called. On the con- trary, young Dempsey was not
 samong those present. when Persh- ing's men started their first drive against the Huns, and no satisfactory excuse has been given as to why he wasn't.
 Willard's modest and manly state ments given out before and after the fight contrast agreeably with the ego tistical boasts of his conqueror. Will lard led a clean life and there is no evidence to show that he has ever been other than a clean sportsman. In the spirit of fair play, give the fallen giant his due.

No Need to Salvage"
 the Treaty of Peace

DEFERRING to the treaty of HN peace, the New Republic says, @It cannot be salvaged by the rhetoric of any statesman returning from Paris. If MT. Wilson is to play fair with the American people, he will talk in prose when he arrives"
 That is what the President plans to do when he goes before the country to fight for the ratification of the peace treaty, consummated after months of arduous labor. Very little of the criticism launched at MT. Will son has been of the constructive kind. His we'll rounded sentences have served as a basis for many attacks which charge him with beclouding the issue with the "smoke of rhetoric. y As matter of fact, no living states man expresses his thoughts with more perspicuity than MT. Wilson. He speaks plainly, yet what he says is couched in the terms of a scholar and thinker.
 Since there is so much palpable ignorance shown as to what the treaty of peace and the league of na- tions stand for, it was wise decision on the part of MT. Wilson to carry his appeal direct to the people and explain in detail just what has been done at Paris. It is generally con- ceded that he will clear up many points in controversy and hasten the ratification of the treaty by the Sen. ate.

COAL AND MORALS

many three and three quarter tons. Great Britain six tons, America pro- duces six and three quarters tons!
 What does this mean? It means that we of all the peoples of the world past or present, will not live or die to ourselves alone, for no other nation has such tremendous sources of mate rial power, both present and potential. to back up its commercial and social ideas for good or evil.'
 This conception of every American citizen possessing the power of six year, to use in driving home his con- captions of the life and duty, seems to| us tremendous.
 The Germans, says the proponend of this conception, used their physical powers to fasten upon the world ideals both false and monstrous. and he them inquiries what those ideals may be which America is to impose upon the human race with this prodigious ener l gy of hers. Are we ready to live up to our coal-to meet the spiritual
  challenge of our overwhelming physi- cal power?" 1 We possess the might. Shall we use it to enthrone the right? This meas urement of individual and national re- sponsibility of a moral character in terms of~~units of coal is most impress sive. No wonder that MT. Brown ex- claims that the responsibility of every young American is vastly greater than that of any young man in any part of the world" because backed by such limitless power
 We must not, indeed, forget that Joseph and Daniel and Jesus and Paul were backed by no physical power at all, but neither must we forget that we are backed by six and three quart CT tons of coal per individual man and woman and little child

TRAGEDY AND BETTER SCHOOLS

farmer is unable to send his children, away to school and thus is presentesk the greatest problem of his life.
 This farmer can do only one of twts things. He can allow his children t, |. grow up in ignorance, i'll equipped for- life, or he can sell his farm, usually at great sacrifice, and move to place offering adequate educational facilities Being ambitious and progressive, aS9 shown by his method of farming arO e-building. he chooses the latten alternative, and we have another aband-s oned farm and an illustration of anoth- CT reason for the high cost of liv1ng4 Even the individual result is tragi6 and the tragedy is enacted over ando over again each year in almost every section of the south. The problem thus created is stupendous, but that problems has ben met and solved in other sec tions of the country and it can be dealt with here
 One of the chief constituents of the, solution of this problem is the estab-7 lishment of better schools. The little
 
 sided over by an inefficient and incom-t potent teacher, must be done awae with Large consolidated schools must be systematically established at con-- venient points and means of ,cheaplyl transporting pupils to and from them- must be inaugurated
 Transportation facilities should bS provided for the convenience of pupilsr in going to and from our high schools- and in some cases new high schools should be established. Every high school in rural counties of almost any southern state should have five times as many pupils as is at present the case or there should be five times as many high schools in these counties, The material is there, the children are living in these counties and they should. be educated. They have right to it and the south cheats herself when she deprives them of this right.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer. IT T is sensation as delicious as 1t is II rare to be fairly taken off ones S feet by an idea the faintest suggestion of which has never popped into our heads before. And this is es- pecial1y true when propounded from an unexpected source.
 When Shylock heard the youthful Portia declare the utter illegality of Bassanio's proposal to compromise the obligation of Antonio he shouted in amazement and delight: "A Daniel come to judgement! Yea, a Daniel. o wise Judge, how do honor thee.
 We experienced similar emotion of surprise and pleasure upon reading an article quoted from a purely commer- cial journal, by an exclusively busi- ness man, entitled Coal and Morals. "A philosopher, not from the library or the university but from the mart of trade! We honor thee the morer' we cried.
 Let us see if we can condense a profound and elaborate argument into few brief words.
 Ideas and ideals are powerful in themselves, and, unaided by any other agent, not infrequently make leadway against a world of opposition-if they are given enough to work in. As a matter of fact however, they can be more swiftly and effectively dissemin- ated by individuals or nations pos sessed by some irresistible power.
 The greatest source of physical pow CT in the world of today is coal The nation which possesses the greatest de- posits of coal must, therefore, hold the scepter in the worlds affairs and be able ''to impose it's ideas upor others whether they be good or bad.
 But, while Russia and Spain can only produce one quarter of a ton of coal per individual, Austria one ton, Ger
