Reveals Seas Bottom

A two-inch section Of sea bottom,
with its tiny animal and plant life.
magnified $1,000 times, has been re-
produced in glass and wax at the
American Museum OF Natural History
at New York.
1t is called the Bryozoan group,
taking its name from the minute sea
animals popularity called sea mats
and sea MOSES, that 1t depicts.
Their shells are incrusted on sea-
weeds, pebbles and the shells of larg-
er animals, and are said to be ex-
tremely beautiful in their intricate
form and cOloring. The "plumed
worm" with its gay colors and other
strange microscopic creatures. Of
which the average person seldom
dreams, complete the group.

the alcohol and the father of the

neighborhood and all declined to fill

NOT MUCH OF A HERO.

Ottumwa Courier: Jack" Demp-

been revealed by prying grand jurors
as William Harrison, has been brand.
ed a Stacker by the returning of an
Indictment at San Francisco, charg-
ing him and his manager with con:
spring to evade the selectiye service
draft.
Dempsey is heavyweight champion
pugilist of the world. He won that
title last July by knocking out Jess
Willard in short and uninteresting
fight, distinguished principally by
Wizards exhibition OF what prize
ring fans call yellow streak.
Dempsey, of course, became ma
tional hero, of a sort, as do all cham
pions. He proceeded to cash in" on
his new made reputation, as is the
way of champions, and he named a
figure for fight with Georges Car
pentier French pugilist and world
war veteran, which re5embled in size
the interest on the American loans to
our war-riden allies.
| Someone began to inquire into
Dempsey's record for the time his
country was at war, and it was
found that he had been exempted
from the draft on the ground that
he was supporting his wife, his par
ents, widowed sister and the lat
ter's two daughters. The Indictment
charges that at least part of this
claim was untrue, and 1t develops
that he and his wife have been sepa-
rated a long time.
| Pictures of Dempsey, taken in ship
Yards where he was said to have
worked during the war, show him
with unsoiled, new overalls, dapper
patent leather shoes and genial
smile. 1t appears that his hardest
! work in such places consisted in pos
( ing before a camera, which, of
course, did not exercise a very
marked influence toward winning the
war against Germany.
American Legion posts in several
cities have expressed contempt for
Dempsey and registered protests
against his being accorded recogni-
ton as fighter Some of the men
who passed through ordeals like
Chateau Thierry and the Argonne are
not inclined to count Dempsey's
battles as of much service to the
nation.
Seemingly a similar view is taken
| by the federal grand jury which
voted the Indictment against Demp

Sex. in Politics.

New York Times: To send women
to conventions simply because they
are women is to make sex and war of
sexes the basis of feminine political
effort. Time and time again there
have been attempts to organize women
or certain number of women into
women's parties, leagues, political as.
sociations and what not. The at
tempts have usually been frowned on
by judicious women suffrage leaders.
No woman in the present stage of the
game, or in any stage of it, should
seek or be named to any Office or poll
tical function save for her proved fit
ness. That is, should be superior to
or at least equal with men candidates,
and her fitness should be special POI

necessarily prove that political 4fitnessi

merely because they are women. They
should deserve the preference on intel

BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES.

A characteristic possessed in common by sew
eral aspirants for presidential nomination now
in the public eye is the emphasis they lay on
fundamental principles in their discussion Of
public affairs The future safety of the United
States, says Governor Lowden, lies in a more
general assertion Of states rights. A govern
ment of wide area can be kept alive only
through the vitality Of the local communities.
We must get back our Municipalities. Illinois
must govern Illinois; Iowa must govern Iowa;
New York must govern New York
General Wood has in a conspicuous degree
the same faculty of getting back to bed rock
Fundamentals in what he says. Discussing in
o current periodical the relations Of labor and
capital, he points out that workers must real
ize that wages are paid from profits and that
profits cannot be produced unless workers give
faithful, honest return for the wages they get.
That very few do this now is the consensus Of
employers; and while wages have been increas-
ed, production and quality Of output have fallen
off. No man can hire and observe the dawclers
who take his money without realizing that this
is so.
Wages are just now coming out of the mulct-
ed consumer who is forced to pay two prices or
three for what he buys. But this state of things
will not last long. Normal conditions are com

Quincy journal: Every city has
its clan Of people who never lose
an opportunity to call attention
to the bad features OF the COM
munity. They never miss a
chance Of pointing out that their
town is going to the dogs"
Perhaps the town is |going to
the dogs" Perhaps II is poor
city in which to live. Whose
fault is It? Whose fault but the,
knockers!
Cities that have progressed
have gone ahead in spite of the
men whose chief aim in life Is
to knock They have moved to
the front because the boosters
have outnumtered the knockers,
because the workers have been
in the majority over the drones.
No city is perfect. There al
ways Is and always will be room
for criticism in the best of COM
munities. Criticism should be
made, but when it is made there
should be suggested a remedy, or
the man who criticizes should
hold the belief that someone else
will find a remedy.
Criticism that is made for the
sake of criticising is worthless
and dangerous. Pointing out
faults for the mere sake Of find
ing fault is poor practice and
lends not one whit toward the
progress OF the community.

of that year was followed by the constitution OF
the United States and the advice of George
Washington upon his retirement from office.
What shudder must pass through the spirit
bodies Of the members of that congress If they
know of the international teachings which a
body of men led by the present president OF the
United States are attempting to substitute for

the world, with its center in Europe, for our
present government, so dear to the heart OF
every true and loyal American citizen?

TREATY LOSING IT'S SIGNIFICANCE.

Talk Of enforcing the drastic reparation
clauses Of the peace treaty upon Germany is
subsiding, and we now hear rumors that sub
stantial international loan is to be made to that
country to enable the nation to get on its feet.
Tt is acknowledged that the former kaiser can
not be molested so long as he remains in Hol-
land and the practical difficulties in the way of
getting hands on the hundreds Of other Germans
guilty of violations of the rules Of war stand in
the way of compelling adherence to those sec
tions of the treaty. Much Of the treaty now be-
fore the senate has lost its significance, and if
the United States should ratify it and under
take to enforce its provisions new and pro-
lcnged war would be upon us.

But, away with knocking!
Away with all destructive criti-

be sure 1t is real fault and that
we have, or that someone else
has, a real remedy.
The defects in city's makeup,
pointed out by the. Knockers,
whose fault are they? The fault
can be laid only at the doors Of
those who knock. 1t Is their fault
because they have pointed out
the defects but have made no
move to better conditions. They
have had only criticism, with no
remedy in mind.
If every man who criticises
took it upon himself to suggest
at the same time, better way
OF doing the thing with which he
finds fault, the city would move
ahead. The faults would be fewer
and the reward to the booster
would be great.
