Open to Doubt.
(Hartford Courant

In common with many other jour nals, the New York Sun" and the New Britain Herald" have com mented upon the disaster which fell upon tho" western Gulf coast, the New Britain paper finding this to say:
 "Our general climate is by no means IS pleasant as that of Calves ton. Our wint CTS are more rigorous That is the price we have to pay for protection from Cverwhelming winds"
 The "Sun," discovering that Gal weston had ot been inundated, ex- presses it's thankfulness as follows:
 Galveston may now feel that B recurrence of the disaster of Septen- her 8, 1900, when the entire city was flooded, entalling a loss of 5000 lives and property worth S20, ,CCO,000 has been made forever impossible. A great triumph has been scored by the art of man over the raging forces of nature"
 These views may be correct but every one who has watched the weather to the point where he has discovered that much remains to be learned a~out it feels that what a

Adventurous Humans.
(RridgepOrt POSt)

The tidal wave at Corpus Christi, Texas, which killed many, and wiped out the homes of thousands reminds Us who live in the quiet and peace full East that human nature still loves to take a chance.
 Tomatoes. tidal waves and floods seem to be the yearly portion of cer- tain sections of this country.
 Yet people continue to live in these dangerous places, just as people crowd close to volcanoes in some countries.
 It might be argued that the pru- dent man would keep far away from the coasts that are periodically in undated. Galveston got one taste of it and built a great sea wall which has saved the city several times since. San Francisco had one awful earthquake, yet in spite of that and of frequently incurring minor quakes, people still seek California as an abode.
 The answer is that such places of fer to the man who takes a chance a fine living. Texas and California are rich in natural resources. People are willing to gamble with the ele- ments for a chance at the fat pick ings
 In older days it used to be thought that such catastrophes as that which has visited Texas was an evidence of Gods wrath. But until this old world cools off, until the sun is dead and the tides are still. there will be earth quakes, tornadoes and tidal waves. And until that time adventurous hu- man 'belngs will split fifty fifty with Dame Nature in an effort to get a living.

 Nevertheless on Tuesday evening of this week an enthusiastic party of 1,200 diners at New York hotel joined in a hearty demonstration of approval when the toastmaster refer red to him as "fit to guide the ship of state" Almost instantly the loud if slightly ungrammatcal chorus went up: "One, two, three, four, who are we for?

 If Mir. Hoover really wants to stop this sort of thing he may have to go further than to say that under no circumstances would he agree to be- come a candidate.

We do not believe that there pt~id for his service. But we reiterate, he has a right, now that the thing is over and precedent has been laid down by other states of the union, to all there is to 1t. The state is far behind in what it is doing. It has, we believe, allotted a sum which amounts to two and a half million dollars for the purpose of relief work among the soldiers, but this is not drop in the bucket. 1t has provided a place wherein may be kept the war records of it's citizens, of which it may well be proud, and it has made allow ance for the issuance of a service cer- titicate to men who took part in the hostilities, actually or as potentials. But, if it wishes to keep step with other states, it's duties to the soldier are not fulfilled.
 When this conference is held, and it is to be held tomorrow, we hope that there will be some guiding star which will lead an individual to speak one word in favor of the extra session and a purpose to consider the allowance of money. The soldier does not wish to go to the state and de- mand it, in hold-up fashion, he wishes others to do it for him, but he has case, and good one. Someone should recognize it.
 We have nothing against the possl- bilty of ratifying the Suffrage Amend ment The vote for women appears to be coming. There is little doubt about it, and the state may as well ratify the Amendment now as in 1921. But in 1921 the harm will have been done as far as the soldier is concerned. It will be too late then to recognize him, even if there is wish to. It is time to do it now Who is going to es- pouse the soldiers cause? Who is go ing to see him justice? It is nothing but justice that he wants.

MARINES NEAR FYUME.

It appears from early reports that own "Leathernecks," have landed near Plume and are prepared to take part in the subjugation of that city should the occasion arise. While we have the accomplish what they set out to do, we have hopes that they will not be used in any display of armed force We also hope that it will not be neces- sary to use Italian armed forces to quiet d'Annunzio and his loyal, and spectacular, band. Bloodshed, here should not be resorted to, as notwith- standing the wish that Plume may be awarded to Italy, among the Italians the action of the rebels is but flash in the pan
 We have a great regard for d'Annunzio. Of poetic, fiery and dra- matic temperament, he has endeav- ored to accomplish a feat that is inn possible on the face of it. He has taken it upon himself to set up a col ony, as part of Italy, in defiance of the world and even of his own gov ernment. It will not be done it can never live under these conditions.

EXPEDITION BACK NEXT MONTH
Explorers Try to Find "What . Earth Is Made Of

Washington, D. C., Sept. 22.-Early in October scientific expedition will arrive in Seattle, Washington from Alaska, which will bring back infor- mation tending to throw additional light on the dark spot of modern sci ence,-What composes the inside of the earth
 Announcement is male by the Ma tiOnal Geographic society from it's headquarters at Washington, that the sixth Mt. Katmai expedition of the society is preparing to sail from Ko- dhK islanC after many months spent in fruitful scientific study of the unique and spectacular natural phe- nomenon known as The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, at the foot of the gigantic Mt. 1<atmai volcano.
 Not only has the expedition, head ed by Dr. Robert F. Griggs, accumu- lated an amount of scientific data be- yond happiest anticipation, but ac- cording to telegraphic report to the society, a fine harbor, not previ- Ously known, has been found which affords feasible route to this region of the innumerable vents of various kinds which spurt steams and vapors of almost unbelievable temperatures.
 The discovery of this harbor is considered of marked interest be- cause President Wilson has pro- claimed the region of Ten Thousand Smokes a national monument, and it will not be long before this new fed eral reservation will be visited by tourists who wish to view a spectacle no less awe inspiring than the spout ing geysers and other natural won ders of our own National parks.
 But the primary interest of this region, to the civilized world, will be the unequalled opportunity it affords for penetrating some of the hidden secrets beneath the surface of the globe on which we dwell,' says a bulletin from the National Geographic society.
 We laugh at the child who says the moon is made of green cheese; but the child might smile at us if he would but ask, What is the earth made of?
 Though science has penetrated to the infinitesmal secrets of the invisi- ble atom, and it has reached to other solar systems so far out in the uni verse that we know about stars from which it takes the light 5000 years to travel to this earth, its penetration of the inner earth is no deeper, com paratively, than a pin scratch on the cover of a mammoth talloon.
