IS IT N WONDER?
ANSWERS, London)

A mar was one day visiting a
lunatic asylum, and while walking
in the grounds, he met a patient, to
whom he said
well, how did you get here?"
The man replied:
well, sir, you see I married a
widow with a grown-up daughter,
and then my father married my
wife's daughter, and that made my
wife the mother-in-law of her
father-in-law, and my father be-
came my stepson. Then my step
mother, the daughter of my wife,
had a SOL and that boy, of course,
was my brother, because he was my
fathers son; but he was also the
son of my wife's stepdaughter, and
therefore her grandson, and that
made me grandfather of my step
brother. Then my wife had a son,
SO my mOther-in-law the step-sister
of my son, is also his grandmother,
because he is her s~tepson's child,
my father is the b~rother-in-law of
my child, because HIS step-sister is
his wife; l am the brother of my
W son, who is also the son Of my
step grandmother; l am my moth
er's brother-in law, my wife is her
own child's aunt; my son is my
fathers nephew, and l am my own
grandfather.
That's why I am here sir"

The nationwide railroad strike
has been averted, thanks to the eff
forts of the rail labor board, which
secured concessions from both ele-
ments to the strife. This is just as
it should be. If a national board of
grievance is to function at all it is
in just such emergencies as we
have just passed through that it
will have it's largest scope of use
~fulness. The board having shown
it's capacity to act in a crisis now
we feel that if it requires more au-
thority to make it's edicts binding,
congress should come to the rescue
at once and pass the needed legisla-
ton. Why wait? The railroads
say they are going to move immed-
lately for a ten per cent reduction
in wages. If they do, the same sit
uation will arise in a short time,
we have just passed through. The
tax revision and tariff legislation
bids fair to last for months. Why
lot do "a little something else in
the meantime that Is of paramount
importance to the people?

There is something about the APP
pearance of the COW boy in SOM
brero and chaps that appears to be
unduly interesting to foreigners.
Can it be that American movie films
showing these characters in far off
lands are responsible for this ad-
vance advertising. An instance of
this character came to light the
other day when the high officials OF
the Japanese mission to the limita-
ton of ornaments conference over
the U. P. from west to east with an
escort of American army officers.
Al different points where the train
stops would permit, while in the
west, the entire group dismounted
and were greatly disappointed at
not finding more COW %punchers in
chaps and six shooters about the
stations. Uncle Sam might stage
a real wild west show as one OF the
entertainments to be given the WIS.,
itors before leaving for home.

If a list of the public speakers
who testified to the worth of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as a man and a citi-
Zen on the 63rd anniversary of his
birth, had been profuse with
the econiums while the ex-presi-
dent was still alive, he might have
been with us today in the flesh as
we'll as in spirit, as they declare. 1t
has been claimed with some show of
truth that political intrigue had
much to do with his untimely de-
cease. In other words, If the roses"
O. being placed on his grave had
been strewn along his pathway dur
ing the tempestuous days Of his
second campaign what a difference
it might have made to these same
speakers and to the nation.

II, as the dispatches indicate.
Governor Lynn J.. FRAZER and two
other ~non-partisan league officials
hnve been recalled in North Dako-
T.. it will be the first occasion on
will 4 recall has been successful
- s-~~ad on a governor in the
United States. In this respect it
rar'.s en- epoch in American his
I r md brings to a close the most
~eaectacular attempt ever made to
establish state socialism. Had Fraz-
Ter and his co-harts been disposed
to recognize the political rights of
other elements and less given to
running things regardless Of the
rights of others, the administration
might have worked out some re-
forms in public methods that would
have been beneficial. This would
have avoided the crushing defeat
and humiliation that will follow
the recall election.

Babe Ruth has capitulated and
quit his barn storming. Judge
Lands will get credit for making a
touch down, but the average fan
will decide that Ruth saw a chance
to lose a big lot of coin next year
and concluded to play safe. Now if
Lands will put a fine on him big
enough to take away part of his
overpaid earnings and all of his
egotism, he will confer a distinct
favor on the American ball public
and put Ruth under obligations the
home run king can never repay.

his home, having expressed such a
desire after witnessing their fight

panying him it would seem to be
good business to make the attempt,
at least, to bring the party here.

Unless the unforeseen happens it
is conceded that there will be no
general rail strike. The time is in
opportune. Labor is too plentiful
for the unions to risk it.. Freight
rates have come down slightly and
will drop further, strike or no
strike. Both employers and en-
ployees were stunned by the adj
verse sentiment Of the American
people and both are equally willing
to back down after they have told
each other what has been on their
minds for a long time. While a
strike could have not succeeded it
would have added confusion to the
settlement of questions that are of
much moment to an overtaxed pub
lie.

The Department of Agriculture
is authority for the statement that
farmers cooperative concerns did
a business of $375,O0O,OOO in 1920
as aginst $60,O00,000 in 1919. This
enormous increase indicates that
the farmer has entered actively in
to the business field, largely as a
matter of protection, in the first
instance, against the high handed
methods of old time marketing in
situations. OF late years their &C
er fields with the result above
stated.

With the issuance of regulations
covering the prescription of malt
liquors by the Treasury Department
hope was revived that the obnox-
iOus drOuth had been broken and
that an immediate supply of beer
for the ailing would be available.
Again is thirsty humanity to be dis
appointed. 1t will be three weeks
before the breweries can get the
new brand of beer on tap. And
again it is discovered that Idaho,
being dry before the adoption of
the 18th amendment, is not one of
the states that can participate in
the art of lifting a stein ''for your
good health and your families
health" as Rip Van Wrinkle once
said before his long dream in the
Katskills. Come to think about it
the whole business is considerable
of a dream that with proper agita-
ton may terminate in a night mare.

An object lesson in the infalli-
ability of all DEGREES to prevent war
is to be found in the march of form
er Emperor Charles of Austria to
Hungary in an attempt to capture
the throne and reseat himself as
Emperor. The government has Civ
en- notice that it will repel the at
tempt of Charles by force Of arms.
Thus war has virtually broken out
in territory that was supposed to be
pacified by the council at Geneva
with the more important announce
ment that surrounding nations are
mobilizing troops to protect the neu-
trality of their borders. While all
this is regrettable the lesson that
war cannot be cured by diplomatic
agreements is made decidedly plain,

1t is going to be hard to convince
the southern democrats that a ne
gro has any political rights which
they are bound to respect, but the
advent of the president in that be-

political equality is going to make
them boil pretty merrily for some
months to come with the prospect,
at least, that some good may re-
suit.

MUST BUILD ON TRUTH.
 SAYS LENTEN PREACHER

Rev. A. c. Coburn, rector of St. James church, Danbury, was the preacher at the united Lenten service held Thursday evening at Trinity Episcopal church. Rev MT. Coburn took his text from St. John 3S, Pilate said unto Him, what is truth?
 The foundations of our individual life and our social fabric must be built on truth, else it fails, and great is its fall. said the preacher. A tie has in it the germ of death. Anything built on any thing else but truth must sooner orllater die. It is cnly truth that has in it eter- nal life. And so W1 ask what is truth? Rev. MT. Coburn said that truth is more than just matter of knowledge a capacity for intellect It is a fact that Jesus appealed to m ans mind. He went beyond that He appealed to lis very soul. A man who. would understand
 truth must do the vii of God. Truth is not only thinking. It is doing. acting. Jesus said, l am the way We cannot understand trTtth unless the spirit of Christ is in us and in our lives. We must understand Jesus. 1 No boy or girl can hope to understand the truth through knowledge of the three
 Rs alone. They should have the fourth R-religion-in their lives. The time has come when, if we would teach our boys and girls the truth, we must also give them religion.
 Next Thursday evening the united ser vice will be held in Christ church and the preacher will be Rev. John NJ Hunter, rector of St. Luke's church, East
 Greenwich, R. I.
