pirates. Lenin and his Bolshevik
nation, while discussing peace,
trade. etc. with the allies, are
lighting the Poles more savagely
than ever. English are ordered
and Americans warned TO leave
Warsaw before conquering Bolshe-
vism arrives.
Ireland is to be ruled by court
martial, and trial by jury stopped
for the present.
The French have just killed four
hundred Arabs. A dispatch from
Syria tells about that.
Spanish officers and men have
been killed and many wounded,
fighting in Morocco.
Young Turks, encouraged by the
Bolsheviki, declare that fighting
suits them and they mean to keep
1t up; they will not have anything
to do with peace, no matter what
anybody else says.
You are not surprised that Mr..
Cox's managers wonder what they
had better say about the peace
league.
What was supposed to be the
funeral of old Mars, and the really
and truly end Of the war, is wind
ing up in a first-class fight.
THE way of man with a maid"
puzzled the ancient writer Of
proverbs. He would be more puz-
zled today. For instance. Mrs.
Sokolowsky wanted her husband
absolutely to herself. She threw
q cup of acid in his face to spoil
his good looks, but she was too sue
cessful; he died.
On the other hand, Capt. Sher-
man Enos, who married Miss
Gloria Chorirnoff, discovering
that he was not loved sufficiently,
poisoned himself. He did the
poisoning gradually, because he
wanted to spend a while thinking
about the lady who had tired of
him, wholly absorbed in our love-"
AS he was dying he wrote a really
pathetic paragraph:
1T is now growing quite dark,
and / am having considerable diff
fculty in writing. No more heart
aches"
Mr.. Enos and Mrs. Sokolowsky
Pturned custom upside down. Usu-
ally when a man is jealous his ami
NAL inheritance makes him kill
the woman, and the other man, too,
if he can get him.
Women kill the woman that
stands in their way, but do not kill
the man-in ancient times when
women's characters were formed,
man was necessary to protect the
children and fight the bears.
A jury in Chicago convicted
twenty members of the Communist
Labor Party. They were sentenced
to fine and Imprisonment. Ger
tain organizations protest that
they were convicted for no crime
other than free speech. That is
not accurate, according to a great
one who said a blunder is worse
than a crime.
1t was feeble-minded laundering
to plan in America Communism,
the possession OF wealth in COM
mon, Soviet organization or any
thing of that kind. This country
is only just beginning its period
of private ownership, lot buying,
house building, savings bank, and
a general economic and industrial
survival-of-the-fittest campaign.
For one man wanting a radical
change in this country you have
one hundred wanting none. And
of one hundred that do want a
change, SO per cent, truth must
be told, are failures. One per cent
radicalism, made up of 80 per cent
failure, will not win. The coun-
try needs education more than
change.
Men are leaving the United
States-hundreds of thousands
went last year. Women are COM
ing in by tens of thousands.
While men talk, Providence does
things. There are many unmar-
ried women in Europe. Men go
abroad. There are many upmar-
ried men here; women come in.
And what is more important,
their going and coming and inter-
marrying mixes up the human
race, and that, within limits of
color, is what Nature wants.
A mongrel animal is worthless,
but the mongrel human being is
the ablest. Greece, Rome, France,
England, America, Japan-the
worlds most successful nations
have been or are the most mixed
of all nations as regards breeds.
