GRAB OR TAKE.

"In half a century learned doctors of the French
academy" says the New York Herald, shave done
nearly half the work of compiling a dictionary of
their language. When there is created here a national
body to do such work we shall nominate for member
ship therein Senators Brandegee and Harrison,
prompted in the purpose to do so by the following col
loquy:
"Mr. Harrison-Is it the object of the steering COM
mittee on the other (Republican) side to grab those
ten places?
"Mr. Brandegee-I think I could improve on the
senator's language a little.
"Mr. Harrison-That may be so.
"Mr. Brandegee| would not use the word grab.
It is only our object to take them.
"a fine distinction is here involved. The things 10
be grabbed or taken are additional senate committee
assignments. The choice of words, therefore, de-
ponds largely upon which side of the senate chamber
the chooser sits. Yet other things should influence
choice. We say that a child grabs a stick of candy,
and a committee assignment may under conceivable
circumstances be deemed candy; a child takes a nap,
and committeeman in session have been known to nap.
Senator Brandegee, knowing that our language is
not only rich but flexible, might well have challenged
Senator Harrison to Lame the particular committee
assignment he had in mind and then they could have
debated whether or not in the instance indicated the
Republicans were to take or to grab a place which was
brought easily within their grasp by a notable ma
jority of citizens in the early part of last November"

MIGHT AS WELL BEGIN.

Bedroom comedies, garter shows, bare legs, bare
backs, indecency, profanity, vulgarity must all be
driven from the American stage and out OF. the NAV
les. The Drama League and the movie producers
have both said SO, the American public seconded the
motion and the blue law sports have threatened CEN
sorship and worse, if reform is not speedily inaugu-
rated.
1t is about time we ceased blaming the war for our
immortality and general rottenness. 1t was q mighty
thin excuse in the first place and there is no sense in
continuing longer in our course of depravity. We
have got to get back to decency some time and we
might as well make the break now. II we correct our
public morals firyt, maybe we will not find it so diff
ficult to repair our private conduct.
II we can get in a lot of good hard work this sum-
mer nine chances out of ten we will feel better and
be fairly decent citizens again by the time the frost
earesses the pumpkin.

PIPES N o

When through my open window peeps
The first faint evening star,
/ love to give my fancy rein
And smoke a good cigar.
/ think how like the men we meet
On this terrestrial ball
Are to the pipes that hang in rows
Upon my chamber wall.
The meerschaum is a millionaire
The humble clay the man
Who lights It daily when he takes
His tool and dinner can
The corncob is the farmer, while
The silver banded brier
Is he who with brush or pen
May set the world afire.
The one that sports a nickel lid
Shut down upon the bowl
Is like the modest man who keeps
His thoughts within his soul.
The hubble bubble is the Turk
For tricks and trading ripe
And thus for every pipe we find
Its human prototype.

"on the day the naval appropriation bill passed the

Ledger, President Harding was telling 1000 Officers
of the Atlantic fleet:

1.-THE vote of the house and the voice of the presi-
dent echoed each to each. And the echoes of that
speech and that vote will be reechoed wherever dene-
sogues or selfish statesmen, in or out of the United
States, may flourish.
America does believe in unfolding its rights. in
defending itself and its people. America believes in
the navy. Americans will approve the presidents SOL
aemn declaration and that vote of the house passing
the naval bill without cutting off a single battleship
or Gripping a squadron.
THE 1ittle-navy' group was smothered in the senti-
ment that unless and until limitation of armament
comes by international agreement the United States
will keep a blade in reach of its sword-arm. There is
a strong disarmament movement in this country. All
of it is not honest or sane, but much of it is. Sane
advocates of this policy understand that we cannot act
alone unless we wish to invite an overwhelming at
tack. The vote on the naval bill shows that reason
has not been routed by sentiment.
