THE YOUNGER

Into the windows of the younger
Roosevelt are dropped many mis-
sives, even as such were dropped
into the windows of the youn ger

of harm. There is adjuratlon to
act.

Colonel Roosevelt when Speaker
Sweet drew his suspension decree
from his pocket and began to read
the hectoring lecture he was in no
way authorized to deliver 1t has
been said that another Roosevelt
would have thrown a challenge full
into the face OF the false doctrine
he heard exploited. Perhaps there
might have been a dramatic inter
repution if the father had stood
whore the son stood.
But there is no ground for seri-
Gus criticism on this account. The
issue raised was one that forbade
hasty action. For one we do not
regret that Colonel Roosevelt began
his public career by making sure
first that he was right Sobriety
and selfrestraint have their claims
as well as quick decision.

gency No difficulties should be
placed in the way of Speaker Sweet
repairing his mistake. He is not
accused of unpatriotic motives
Moreover, the Red" propaganda,
with its advocacy OF the force"
principle, has been bold. Even
though the Socialist Assemblymen
never personally committede them
seves to it, 1t will not be asserted
that they have been energetic in
combating it. The mediation Of
treason needed to be stopped, and
the Speakers friends may contend
that although his methods we're
poor he contributed a good practi-
cal result. 1t is no small thing to
have driven the Socialist organiza-
ton into disavowing Bolshevism
and to decorations through its lead
ers that it wages no war On the
democratic principle.-New York

THE GERMAN
ENVOY TO TOXIC

The selection OF DR.. Wilhelm
Solf, last of the Kaiser's foreign
secretaries, as German charge d.
affairs in Toxic. may prove to be
the initial step toward a German
Japanese approachment. In the
men associated with President Eb-
ert's government, DR.. Solf stands
out conspicuously as one of the
few survivals from the days of
the kaiser's rule. His familiarity
with the methods of the Wilhelm
strasse Of the Hohenzollerns prob
ably surpasscs that of any other
man prominent in the public life
Of the new German republic. For
many years DR. Solf has studied at
home and abroad the colonial prob
lens Of Germany. At one time he
was governor of Samoa, when Ger
many first gained control of that
part of the Pacific Island Group.
His demonstrated ability as col
onial administrator won him in
1911 the important post Of colonial
secretary, which he held until he
succeeded Won Hertling as foreign
secretary in the dying moments of
the empire of William of Hohenzol-
lern.

the ways Of traditional German di-
plomacy fit him admirably for the

AM E RiCANS
BY EDUCATION

Two kinds Of mentality among
foreigners confront the govern
ment. One is the educated. but I'M
sound, individuals whose education
has carried them away from con-
seryative and sound principles.
They are more dangerous than the
illiterate because they become lea
ders, and illiterates among their
fellows accept their views and judge
ments without bubble or doubt.
These educated leaders include the
editors Of foreign language journ-
ais, professors in the educational
institutions, and men who direct
organizations based on nationality
and adherence to foreign conceived
organizations. They are opposed
to characterization because learn
ing the American language SO that
they could learn from American
sources the principles Of American
Institutions would break their hold
On and destroy their dominance
over their benighted followers.
That is one purpose the Kenyon
bill Is expected to accomplish.
It Is no difficult feat for Euro
peans to learn a new language.

disputes over the location Of ma
tional boundaries by the peace ire

ed by highway or a stream which

and speak different languages. Dur
ing the debate On the Kenyon bill
In the senate it was shown that
soldiers Of foreign birth who were
included in the draft could speak
from fifteen to twenty languages,
but that their officers had to give
their orders to them In signs be-
cause they did not understand the
English language. They came from
petty sections of Europe where the
various languages are spoken be-
cause the people speaking them are
blended, but where each preserves
his mother tongue If they can learn
so many languages in order to
communicate with their neighbors
in Europe, they can learn another
language in order to understand
the institutions under which they
propose to live In America.--Sioux

The League of Nations is no
longer a plan, but a fact. All the
nations of the earth of any conse-
quence, except the United States,
Germany, Austria, Russia, Turkey
and Mexico, are already members.
So far as 1 know none of the thir-
ty-seven nations now members of
the league made any reservations,
although the league was the subject
of a heated debate in Switzerland
because of the German cantons.
Switzerland joined after a popular
referendum May 16, 1920, resulting
in a vote of 414,S30 for and 322,930
against. This result is re-
Inarkable when we consider that the
German Swiss, with encouragement
from Germanay, conducted a mos.
active campaign against entering
the league, and two-thirds of the
Swiss are German speaking. French
speaking Vaud polled 63,284 for
and $500 against, mixed Freibourg
20,0S0 for and 6,101 against German
Zurich 46,2S0 for and 66,SS7 against.

possessed the gossip's tongue, and
every spiteful tale by him was far

stale. With him a SANDER foul and
grim was sure to make a hit, and
baseless rumor seemed to him like
proofs of holy writ. A man may
thus traduce his friends in safety for

in carnivals of crime. And Jinks
passed on some vicious yarns, as he
was prone to do, concerning J. Adolf
phus Barnes. which tales were far
from true. Alas, alas, my spirit
shrinks from setting down this line;
for J. Adolphus is a gent of mighty
bones and thews, and when he for
his victim went steel spikes were in
his shoes. And Jinks, to spread his
gossip vain, no longer blithely trots:
he's lying on a bed of pain, all tied

he's but a wreck, who once wild ru-

Early in the morning of this day
Neptune is in benefic aspect, but
later Mars and Saturn are adverse.
Astrologers read it as uncertain.
During this configuration the mind
may be disturbed. Irritability and
dependency should be sternly COM
bated.
The rule is rather sinister one
for domestic happiness. During the
next month the planetary direction
may be toward serious clashes be-
tween men and women within the
family circle.
Saturn frowns upon the new order
of things and has power to arouse
in men resentment against the prog
resS of women. Fortunately Nep-
tune imparts vision that should has
ten readjustments.
There is menacing sign affecting
labor which will have new and
serious grievance within sixty days,
If the stars are read Alright.
Mars is in place that should
cause persons of every class in the
United States to think seriously.
Peace that will remove all need of
military organization is seen TO re-
cede. astrologers declare. instead of
approaching.
There will be a menace that
arouses the Pacific coast. but the
country will be slow to recognize ii,
the seers prophesy.
Mars in Sagittarius will be dis
turbing force that will arouse Spain
and cause trouble in the Orient.
Women will reflect reactionary
tendencies toward modesty and reti.
cence in dress and manners. it is
prognosticated. With political eman-
cipation the law of extremes will
be apparent and there is likely to be
a recurrence of common sense here
and there where fashions are con-
cerned.
Many exposures of political COR
ruption will be made the first of the
year and Congress probably will
make numerous Investigations.
Theatres have the forecast of an
eventful season in which old stars
give place to new luminaries of the
stage. A young woman will win
great fame through extraordinary
gifts.
Business affairs will focus atten-
tion to such an extent that even ar
fists will be affected more widely
than ever before, the seers foretell.
The funeral of a public man will
cause national mourning this month.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have rather a strenuous year. They
should conserve health and energy.
Children born on this day may be
rash and self-willed. These boys and
girls may have great talents that
will require stern direction.
