Disarmament and Peace.

EHERE has been a naval disarmament

luton was suspension of building. Great Britain
annoaaces that she will maintain naval establish

and gun weight If that ratio is maintained, it is
said that Japan would hold the balance OF power as
between the United States and Great Britain. She
would, but if she did not, other country would

British. This is not impossible; neither is it i'm
possible that may have civil between the
vets and the drys. Nothing is impossible, but what
makes harmful those of this turn of mind, who harp
on. such possibles, is that they cannot concede
within the same range, that the great powers can
live at peace with each other.
An agreement not to build another fighting ship
Tor five years, would not of itself prevent war nor
stop preparedness for war. 1t would merely re-
lease that much money to be turned to the develop

the relative fighting force at would remain the

that good understanding which brings peace through
removing the causes which make
1T is purely gratuitous to start with an hy-
pothesis that there may be war between Great
Britain and this country. Starting there dsarma-

friendly spirit does exist To this condi-

senses and folly possess them both. If Great
Britain feared from this side, she would not

But the great fact which makes disarmament
based upon friendly relations probable, is that all
nations, all peoples desire peace. The great powers
are infinitely closer together than before. The
people of the world have intimate knowl-
edge of the motives OF governments and OF the
cshscs which need to be cleared away to maintain
peace. There are mighty few secrets in national
movements through governments. What is not
officially known, is just certainly known through
press publicity. Even governments too.

Best Man in Congress.

THERE was Western city where woman
was elected TO the school board. She was
of nine members. After about years service
the other members agreed that she was "the best
the board" 1t would surprise no one in
Washington, if after her first term, the other a,a
members agreed that Miss Alice Robertson was
the best man in Congress" There is no secret as
TO Miss Robertsoh's success in winning the re-
spect OF her conreres 1t lies in her abundance of
good, everyday, homely, yard-wide common sense
She attends to her own business She makes
no pretense of representing anything or ANYBODY
but those things and persons Of her own district
She does not undertake to carry the weight of the
universe on her shoulders nor to be responsible for
the shortcomings of others. She brings to all
questions sound, cear-t thinking mind and first
hand knowledge OF human nature She knows best
of all, the ordinary folks who do the everyday
work and business of the world and with this
knowledge she balances her scales
Miss Robertson is very hkable. She docs not
waste time with anyone or ask others to waste
time with her. She is apt to receive you standing
If she sat and you sat, you would be apt to stay
too long. She is direct and to the point She
strikes those who come in contact with her as hav
ing nothing to conceal and an adept at smoke
screens. AS she has none of the wies of woman
kind, she none Naturally, men who work
with her, like her. Naturally they appreciate her
claiming nothing and shirking nothing
If guess is allowable, it is that at the end of
her first term, other Congressman" will find a
reader response just from the personal side of
legislative affairs. The Second district of Okla
homa could have done nothing better to make wo-
mans suffrage popular in Congress, than by the
election of Miss Robertson.

The Wooden Fleet.

TT is announced that nearly all the governments
i fleet of wooden ships have been sold. Over 200
of them brought average of $4,000 each. They
cost over 81 100000 and sold for $4,000. At
that it was a good sale. 1t cost the government
about 100000 a year to care for them, or much
more than the selling price. If the government can
in this way around per cent of their cost,
it is sensible to let the other fellow try to make
them useful.
Neither is it necessary to try to find who was to
blame for the loss, since it has been written off the
books. The better way is to hope the buyers
are not "stung"; that at least part of the fleet
can be operated and add their earnings to the
total that may make up prosperity. 1t will not
help anyone to have the purchase turn out bad
bargain. On the contrary the better the bargain
may prove to be, the better for everyone.
If they prove profit making it will not be the
first time private enterprise has succeeded where
government failed. They are but a monument to
politics in business, which is the other and truer
phrase for government in business Politics built
those ships when business was certain they would
be a failure. Politics has kept them lying idle,
when business would have taken them, as now, on
a speculative basis of price.
Now they will have their real chance Divorced
from politics, if they be made profitable, they
will be- 1t is wild dream that they will ever be
followed by others of their kind. But with practi-
caIly no investment overhead. they will have only
their running expenses to pay-if they will float
before making profit. If dismantled and sold
piecemea, the wreckers will earn all they make. 1t
is good-by and good luck, and forget it.

WEDNESDAY, AUCUsr - 1927,

Astrologers read this as one of
the rare days in which many strong
planetary influences work together
TO aid men and women. The Sun,
Mercury and Uranus are all in
benefic aspect
During this benefic sway the mind
is likely to be stimulated to a point
where perception is keen and judg-
ment reliable.
This Is day in which to use
every energy in the furthcrance of
business or professional work.
Editors. publishers and all who
deal in advertising should find this
sway a remarkably profitable one,
for the stars are believed TO make
persons receptive to printed sugges-
tions.
Tho President and all who repre-
sent government should benefit from
this direction Of the stars. which is
held to make for wise directions
and judicial policies.
Uranus is in an asject believed to
make the brain exceedingly active
and clear.
Men would benefit more than
women at this time, for women are

enterprises promoted by them are
likely to fail only to be made sue
cessful later by men of business ex.
perience.
Authors should make the most of
this day, since the signs indicate
not only a quickening of imagina-
tive powers but a quick market FOR
literary wares.
Motion pictures are subject to a
benefic direction of the stars, which
will be kind to women.
Meetings with strangers should be
lucky today, but the stars frown on
love affairs. Friendship, not ro.
nance, is well directed.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the augury of a prosperous year, IL
care is exercised in business mat
ters. Money will increase and there
will be far travels.
Children born on this day have
tho forecast of much success In life.
These subjects of Virgo are usually
endowed with the gift Of language.

The Soul; a Correction.

To the Editor. ne wsshinstcn Herald:
In my communication explaining
the above subject published in The
Herald OF Sunday, August IL. under
Open Court Letters. etc" in the
second paragraph wrote that
Thus the spirit has eyes, ears, nose,
mouth, which see. hear. smell and
taste, and also all other members"
etc.
But the typesetters inadvertently
omitted q line-"nose. mouth, which
see hear make It appear that 1
said that "the spirit has eyes, ears,
smell and TASTE" etc. which would
be. Of course, a rather absurd or
incongruous statement.
By kindly making this correction

you will much oblige the writer.
