peare's Julius Caesar.

When I was in high school we gave
an entertainment-"Ju Caesar" in
which / had minor part. Without
coat or collar, sleeves rolled up high
and blanket for a toga I was a
Roman citizen. 1 was also one of the
stage managers.
After one scene the curtain stopped
about two feet from the floor ]
stepped on the stage to right the diff
ficulty. Without warning, the curtain
came down in a wreck on my poor
defenseless head. l was stunned for
a moment. Then l began to realize
what grotesque figure l must be, for
l had discarded my tOga while shifting
scenes, and there / was standing alone
on the stage amid the ruins, feeling
the bump on the top of my head.
But I smiled in spite of myself, gave
professional bow, and stalked with
dignity to the wings. 1t was several
minutes before the audience quieted
down so that the play could go on.

hole stitches serve TO hnish edges, but

sometimes substituted for stitchings,

In some suits ginghams and cham

the cotton floss used for cross-stitch

match the colored check in color al

The Perennial Issue.

In opposition to it. Other members
on both sides Of the chamber are

The case as stated by the two leaders

often interested the public. Is. or Is
not, protection. frankly and fairly ap.
piled, good for American industries
and a prop to American standards Of
living?
Since 1884, when Col Morrison of
Illinois brought forward his tariff re-
vision plan. this question has been
seven times propounded and fought
out in Congress-in 1883 under the
leadership Of Mr.. Mills Of Texas, in
1890 under the leadership Of Mr.. Nc.
Kinley Of Ohio, in 1892 under the
leadership Of Mr.. Springer Of Illinois.
in 1894 under the joint leadership Of

German Of Maryland. in 1897 under
the leadership Of Mr.. Dingley Of
Maine, in 1909 under the joint leader

The courts open, and functioning.
Laws covering all offenses, and Off.
GERS in commission to execute the
laws. And yet the lynching industry
goes on. In some years 1t Is brisker
than in others. This year the tend
ency is upward as compared with the
figures of last year. The lynchers,
for some reason or other, are now
distinctly on the job.
The evil had its origin in rape. the
most awful and provocative Of all
crimes. But it has spread far beyond
that crime. Less than a third Of the
victims of the lynchers reported this
year were charged with attacks on
women.

A Sloganized World.

It Is doubtful If any other era in
the worlds history has been as COM
pletely ruled by the slogan as ours
of today. We have g. slogan for
every act and every moment.
Advertising men have capitalized the
institution until business has almost
lost the art of direct speech. pre-
ferring to appeal in parable or
exhort in epigram. Once in a while
the mind sighs for a rest from the
everlasting attempt to keep it on
the qui vive by means Of cleverness

to prick the intelligence after the
mental epfdermis. so to speak. has
become calloused to their lombard
ment.
We predict that plain talk will
come back into favor some day. and
probably will be hailed as an inno-
walton because of it's novelty. We
have been so used to going to war
and coming home again by slogan,
buying groceries and attending
church, subscribing to charity and
cleaning up back yards. purchasing
oil stock and preserving forests. that
we have already almost lost the
power to think for ourselves, but
merely react to stimuli prescribed by
persistent paragraphers
like the porcupine, rejecting, prob
ably. the temper of the times
Eventually, we hope. it will cease to
irritate, when we have again reached
the stage of forming our own con-
clusions and when we are more con-
cerned with being thoughtful than
merely terse. What we have to say

Growing Fear of Woman Jurors.

The hard fight the attorney for
Mrs. Kaber. the Cleveland woman
on trial for the murder of her hus-
band, made to keep women off the
jury in the case illustrates the con-
tention that criminal lawyers rely on
the sympathies of male jurors to
prevent their woman clients from
being punished.
my experience has been that
woman jurors are more cold -blooded
and merciless than men. They are
less moved than men by emotions
which go to decide a. case Of this
kind" the defense attorney de-
clared.
Here is one honest lawyer, at
least Certainly he would have much
preferred the sort of juries that
within the recent past have turned
loose fifteen out of sixteen women
in Chicago charged with serious
crimes.
The very fact that lawyers defend
ing woman criminals strenuously
oppose women on their juries proves
the desirability of their being called
for service on such cases. Since
women are eligible to jury service,
the courts should see to 1t that they
have the opportunity to serve. With
more women on juries there will be
fewer farces enacted in courthouses
when woman killers are hauled
before the bar of juatioa-Houston

The London Peace Meeting.

The cause of Irish peace is advanced
by Lloyd Georges message to de
Valera in which he asks him to name
day this week for a conference in
Downing street. Furthermore, the
premier leaves to the Irish leader the
naming of those who are to accom-
pany him at the conference. Appar-
emily no restrictions are placed upon
their number or their identity. In
short, de Valera may present himself
at London with a deputation Of his
own selection. Nor, so far as appears,
is there any limitation to the range
of the discussion or the scope of pos
sible plans for settlement. No condi-
tiCns. indeed. are attached to the nego-
tiations.
A truce in Ireland will begin to-
day. but it remains to be seen whether
it will be kept. At Belfast rioting &C.
Cured on the eve of the armistlce and
fifteen lives were sacrificed. There
is a sinister sign In this. Hope Is
that there will be no more outbreaks
of violence while the conference is in
progress, that, indeed, the period OF
murder and outrage has closed in Ire
land.
The most specific probability ap-
pears TO be a proposal by the British
government of dominion rule for all
Ireland. placing the island upon the
same basis of Canada, Australia and
New Zealand. This plan has been re-
jected heretofore, but it may now in
the spirit Of compromise that aninates
the Irish leaders be acceptable. 1t
would be less likely to challenge Ulster
than any other form Of settlement.
And Ulster must be taken into ac-
count. Realization Of that fact ap-
pears to be instrumental in inducing
a mood of adjustment on the part Of
the leaders of Dublin.
De Valera has the most difficult part
to play now. For he must organize
delegation and take it to London and
conduct a conference. He will have to
establish his credentials in Downing
street to the extent Of giving assur-
ance that he can deliver the goods,
that is to say, that he can assure ac-
quiescence by his followers in a pro-
gram which he accepts. r..'

that occur in aviation without known
cause. The presence Of the spectators
in motor cars was not unusual, for, al
though airplanes have become some
what commonplace they are still OBJ
jects Of great interest. People espe-.
cially like to see them land and start.
Every flying field has its spectators
and probably there will always be on.
lockers wherever airplanes are oper-
ated. They must assume the risk of
accident.
This catastrophe. however, was &C.
companied by a most distressing con-
dition. Most Of the damage was caused
by gasoline explosions, starting with
the tanks Of the airplane and climax
ing with those Of the wrecked motor
cars. AS long as gasoline is used as
fuel for air machines 1t will be a
source of danger not only to the fly
ers. but to those below. Many acci-
dents to aviators are caused by gas
tank explosions in the air. Is it not
possible to lessen this risk? Cannot
gas tanks be made strong enough to
resist collapse and breakage?
While a detonating fuel is appar-
emily requisite for the engines Of air
planes and motor cars at present, hope
prevails that some other form Of fuel
may be devised that will give as much
power with far less risk. The other
day somebody suggested that finely
powdered coal dust would be the motor
fuel OF the future. Certainly when
such horrors as that at Moundsville
occur a stimulus is given to re-
search for safer propulsion agency
than gasoline.

The Disarmament Conference.

Announcement from the State De
! partment that President Harding has
opened the discussion for disarma-
= ment with the principal allied and
; associated powers indicates that the
movement which has gone to the eN-
q. tent that q resolution has been adopt
ed by both houses of Congress will
be carried even further than that ex-
preston indicated. That resolution
proposed a conference on naval arma-
ment between the United States, Great
Britain and Japan. The Presidents S
! proposal is for Il conference between
the United States. Great Britain, Italy,
!. France and Japan, not only on the
- general subject of armament, but
with a view to reaching common
: understanding with respect to prln-
ciples and policies i'll the far east.
!. China is also to he consulted, not with
!. reference particularly to armament,
but in regard 10 the far eastern situa-
tion.
This is n much broader program
!, looking to international adjustment
I than that outlined by the Borah reso-
Z luation. 1t is designed 10 effect
settlement of questions that are at
this time most likely to cause con-
tinued large armaments on the part
Of certain of the powers. Thus the
conference proposed by the President
and largely initiated through in
lg.r in,
effect. a peace conference.
a Inclusion of China in the invitation
:. makes this a much more compre-
. hensive program than had disarma-
ment alone been the prospective sub
ject. The President puts his finger,
by this proposal, upon the most seri-
Gus danger of disturbance in the world
/, today. If the Pacific problems can
Nbe solved to mutual satisfaction the
chief reason for heavy competitive
this solution cannot be reached with
!. China eliminated from the discussion.
I Thus the President serves notice upon
the powers that as far as the United
States is concerned China must be
I; reckoned with as primary factor in
the consideration of matters in which
!. her interests are involved.
The whole program is at present
tentative. The powers have been
merely approached by suggestion.
That they will accept is to be be-
lieved. Rejection of the invitation
would imply distrust Of the PROPOSE
: tion and its possible results, mani
1 festation that no one of the powers
! can we'll afford to make. Acceptance
does not bind any of them to disarma.
! ment, even though the conference
may result in a treaty. Such an in
. strument would be binding only in
!, the event of it's signature and ratifica-
, tion. Thus several moves must be
y made before this discussion now so
happily inaugurated by President
