Mr.. Olmstead is secretary of the
lecture department Of the state uni-
versity and the general manager Of
the lecturing business IN Minnesota.
He knows perhaps better than any
other man in the state what the peo-
pie want and he tries to adapt his ma
terial and methods to fit their needs.
He believes in democracy on the plat
form as well as in other places. He
believes tho chief difficulty with lee
turers is that they totally ignore the
audience. They usually make LOT Of
noise and demonstration on the plat
form, telling the people things they
have always known in language which
cannot be understood without an in
terpreter. Mr. Olmstead will intro
duce you to the open forum style of
lecture. The lecture will be short and
snappy. It will open up some of the
biggest issues in national and world
affairs. At the close the audience will
be given an opportunity to ask ques-
tions and take part in the discussion.
Mr.. Olmstead is a lawyer. He has
been close student Of public affairs.
His views are always progressive and
liberal, but he knows how to allow
for the other fellows point of.-view.
He has been for 10 years university
teacher, but he boasts that no one can
tell it on him. He knows how to trans
late college education into the Eng
fish language.

The American Legion basketball
team was defeated at the armory last
Friday night by the st. Anthony Ma
varre quint Of Minneapolis, the score
being Is to II. In the first half
Princeton led in a score Of 9 to S.
Considering the fact that this was
only the second game played by the
local legionaires this season, they put
up good article Of basketball which
showed promise Of expert playing in
the near future playing that will at
tract fans from all points 81 the com
pass. The older members Of last
years team have handed the work
over to the younger leginonaires and
they are demonstrating their ability
to carry it to a successful issue.
The game was featured by the sem
sational ball playing Of Geo. Besnah
Of the Navarres and the basket shoot
ing Of his brother, Verne. For the
locals Jack Schmidt starred, getting
three successive baskets. Jack, how
ever, was shortly thereafter counted
out Of the game in consequence Of an
accident in which another player
bumped into him and cracked couple
Of his ribs. But the cracking Of 4
rib or two is no serious matter with
Jack.

MOMENTS REST ROOM OPENS.
Located Under Princeton State Bank
Comfortably Equipped With
S& Es Mns1orn9 rnmvn,,;nu.o.

Comfortably Equipped With
Modern Conyeniences.
The Women's rest room, which was
mentioned in the columns Of the union
several weeks ago, is now an accom-
plisked fact as it was thrown open to
the public yesterday morning.
This rest rccm has long been
cherished project with The women of
the Civic Betterment club, but they
had never tried out the sentiment
among the business men upon whose
gencrcs ity the upkeep Of the room de-
ponds. They had, howcve-, but to
start the movement to find that tie
men are practically unanimous in their
support Of tie undertaking. With
very few exceptions evcry business
place in town and all the professional
men have subscribed to the upkeep Of
the room for year, and carpenters,
painters and others have gladly given
Of their time to carry out the plans
of the women.
The room, which is centrally locat-
ed, being directly under the Prince
ton State bank, served for three years
as the public library room, so the To-.
cation is known to almost everyone.
It is commodious room, is equipped
with modern convcniences, and pro-
vides comfortable, CHEEKY waiting
place for any out-of-town women who
for any reason find themselves in
town with spare time at their dis
posal.
The hours will be regulated by the
needs of the room, but at present they
will be from 10 in the morning to 5
in the afternoon. During these hours
70 matron will be in attendance, the
club having been fortunate in secur-
ing the services of Mrs. Rosalie
Jaenicke to serve in that capacity.
The Civic Betterment CLUB takes
this means of extending an invitation
to all its out-of- town friends, and hope
that any woman who comes to town
will feel at liberty to make hereslf
comfortable in the rest room whenever
she so desires. Also the club will
welcome any suggestions which will
in any way improve the rest room.

Colorado's Catastrophe

The tragic floods in Colorado point
the old moral Of mans helplessness
before natures fury. When dams
break there is commonly some
human culpability, inadequacy of
construction or lack Of watchfulness
and care. But in the present in
stance the chief cause was in a tor
rental downpour Of rain far beyond
the capacity of the earth to absorb
or the ordinary channels to convey.
On an area twenty by fifty miles 81
precipitation Of an inch means more
than fourteen million gallons, or
enough to cause serious flood if
thrown into valley only a mile
wide. But three or four inches fell
in Colorado over an area. of several
thousand square miles, and Pueblo
lay In the track of the raging water.
In the face Of such an irresis-
tible onslaught of natural forces,
as against even those still more
formidable alterations of solar &C
tion from which we have recently
been suffering, it still remains for
man to develop resourcefulness, sum-
mon up fortitude and exercise help
fulness.
Does man, the chance taker, fear
death? The scientist, pointing to the
law of self-preservation as the first
law of nature, says that he does.
But the non-scientitic may hold, with
Robert Louis Stevenson, that his
fear often sleeps. On the sides of
fiery mountains cities are built, and
the sound Of mighty explosion is
scarcely gone when there are sere-
nades on the dangerous brink. The
species carries umbrellas, but it's
representatives live about Pompeii.
Pueblo is even now cleaning herself
of mud and arranging to build on
the old foundations.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-07
Recognizing Mexico

When Porfrio Diaz became Presi-
dent of Mexico following revolu-
ton forty-four years ago formal
recognition of his government by the
United States was deferred for al
most year after the other Amer
lean and European governments had
accorded it.
The reasons for this delay were
twofold-a desire to be assured that
the new government was stable and
had the support Of the Mexican
people, and doubt as to the genuine
ness of the governments disposition
to comply with the rules of inter-
national law.
John Bassett Moore in his Princi-
pies of American Diplomacy sum-
marizes the attitude of President
Hayes about the delay as due to
"the occurrences on the Rio Grande
border" which, together with the
non-payment of certain sums due
under the claims convention of 1868,
created doubts as to the ability and
disposition Of the new government
to fulfill the obligations Of treaties"
and perform the duties Of "interna-
tional friendship"
Diaz was inaugurated on May g.,
1877. 1t was not until April 8, 1873,
that our government finally decided
to recognize him.
The parallel to the case of Presi-
dent Obregon is interesting. General
Obregon has SO far succeeded in
preserving order and quiet-even
better, perhaps, than did General
Diaz in the first year of his admin
istration. But has he yet showed
by acts his disposition to comply
with international law in so far as
property and payment of just dues
are concerned?

garrisons the Maritime Province and
has the whip hand in that region.
And Japan has no more reason than
France has for wishing to recognize
a Red regime in Russia, which has
neither the power nor the inclination
to pay imperial Russia's foreign
obligations.
Since the Kolchak debacle Siberia
has been Red, but practically in
dependent Of Moscow. The Lenine
government holds on in Russia
proper. Yet it seems tolerated,
rather than sustained, by the Rus
sian masses. Russia's attitude to-
ward it is one of aloofness and
lassitude. The time has not yet
come for cutting down the Soviet
trunk. But the tree seems to be
dying at the branches.

Lakes Lucerne and Geneva

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Just half word about your
Swiss correspondent who never heard
Of Lake of Lucerne and of Lake Of
Geneva.
If he will take the trouble to read
Victor Hugo's Journey to Switzer-
land, in 1889, he will find the following
passages:
"Lucerne, 10 Sept.-J'ai WI dams ma
journee trois lacs, lie lac de Zurich, que
ja'i quite ce matin, le lac de Zug qui
ma gratifie dune excellente auguille
lour mon dejeuner, ct le lac de Lucerne
qui vieEt," etc.
And again, in the chapter called "Sur
la route d'Alx-le- Bains," the same Vic
tor Hugo writes on September "a: "En
sortant du lac de Geneve lie Rhone rem
oontre la langue muraille du Jura"
Very likely your correspon-
dent is citizen of the Canton de Vaud,
and that explains why he hates to hear
Lake Leman called Lake of Geneva.
