THE state of Kansas is the first one
to establish an industrial court. The
law creating this court denies the
right to strike in essential industries,
but sets up court TO try and enforce
the rights of both employer and en-
ployee. The adoption of this law was
a signal for an immediate strike of 4OC
Kansas miners as protest against the
law. The union leaders opposed the
strike, declaring it was not called, and
the miners received no support. The
Kansas court is an experiment that
will be watched by all states. In all
agricultural states the need of such g
court is undoubted; if it will work out
well, is to be demonstrated by expert
ence.

WAS it only bluff when France and
England demanded that the former
Kaiser should be tried? The latest ad-
vices from Paris indicate that sigh of
relief rose from the governments on
the Seine and the Thames when Hot-
land refused to give up the once upon a
time war lord of Germany. Is it possible
that Holland knew beforehand that it
would be perfectly safe to say, No?

The magic of beauty is more potent
than was that of Simon Magus or OF
Paracelsus. Beauty is different thing
from ornament, which may be the dis
guise OF ugliness. It is gift for which
no artificial attractions can ever be a
substitute. It is power greater than
birth, wealth, knowledge or genius.
People may be proud of their birth,
but after all we are not our ancestors.
The rich man may transmit his wealth
to his offspring. but it may be all
wasted In single generation. Knowi-
edge may be- satisfaction to it's pos
SCISSOR, but has it not been said that
'the more a man gaineth of knowledge
the more he gaineth of sorrow?" Gen
ius, although it wins admiration, may
be an obstacle rather than an aid to
success In life Burns and Poe and
Baudelaire had genius, but it did not
bring them any worldly advantage.
Beauty on the contrary, is a key
which opens all doors. 1t shines on the
world like the sun, and its influence is
universal In Emerson'S words, it is
"its own excuse for being" To be
beautiful is TO be worshiped, idolized,
caressed, and adored The plain. good
people may protest against the injus-
tice Of world which prefers beauty
to virtue But the fact remains
