THE STRENGTH OF THE NAVY

It highly probable that before the end of the year the world will see concerted movement toward the re- strction if not the actual reduction of aramens prnc paly as applied to naves, said the Republican Publicity Association through it's President Hon. Jonathan Bourke "We are ready said President Harding in his inaugural address, o associate ourselves with the nations of the world for conference to recommend way to approx innate disarmament and relieve the crushing burdens of military and naval establishments The United States is the wealthes of nations and in far better position to build and maintain huge navy than any other country The fact coupled with the announced willingness of the Exc cutve discuss the matter indicates that the first move to put stop to international naval competition will come from American The British in receptive mood for the suggestion if it shall be forthcoming and probob nation will be found refusing to discuss at least the ques tion of naval limitations Those being the facts the people should acquant themselves with the proposed viewed from the standpoint of American welfare that when the negotiations begun they may be followed intelligent y. There fundamentals which the United States must insist in any plan for the limitation of naval armaments First the American navy should be equal Ii not superior to any aoat Our position the fomeost world power today coupled with the necessity of proVd ing protection for Pacific Coast equal to that furnish ed for the Atlantic seaboard demand equality No nation in the world though possessed of farung colonies, has coast line behind which sheltered such great riches as that of the United States.
 Second the American Navy must always be substan- tiay superior to any navy of Asiatic power It is against all natural laws that the Anglo Saxon race should be seriously threatened by the Mongoan nd is equally

contrary to the natural of events that the latter race should ever attempt to make the western hemisphere its home Asia its habitat and there should remain The status quo must be maintained at all hazards and dom nant American Navy the bes and in fact the only nsur ance thereof
 Discussion regarding naval arnaments must necessar fly lie between the nations most powerful the sea-he United States Great Britain and Japan The propositions upon which this country must make rrevocabe stand intimately affect both the other nations If they are willing to acquiesce naval holiday for the world not far dis tant And there good why they should not fall in with the American suggestions At present Great Brit ain our superior the sea- but three or four predicted the relation to be reversed There is no nation in the world with which the United States is less
 likely to go to than Great Britain Again it must be conceded that any present increase in naval armament by her or by us Is an effort to meet the naval growth of the other That being ue there appears valid objection to equaiizng the two navies And equalization should not mean construction by the two navies And equalization should not mean construction by the weaker country u- til 1t reaches the strength of the former Construction of boh should cease and equality be reached by retiring from service certain ships of the stronger navy or assigning them to the weaker
 With agreement between the, United States and Great Britain it should not be difficult secure the assent of Japan to the second proposition outlined above The diff faculties in the way of the world order certainly do not appear nsurmountabe and it's practical conssumaon under the direction of President Harding would be nsart
 ling contrast to the dismal failure of the absurd eague of natons"

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

Typographical covereth multitude of sins, in the newspaper word it is fact that all mistakes that generally occur in newspaper office blamed on typo graphical errors but the Gateway wishes the public that the many which have appeared lately in the Gateway REAL typographical errors and not sumed We have good excuse in the fact that our Inter type machine is bucking" and has been for time past what with splice here and plaster there and shortage of mat1x coupled with dozen or two aches and pains in various parts of the machine anatomy 1t IS wonder we get any product at a let alone typographi caly correct proof
 The fact that the lower e" channel has gone to sleep our busy little machine is brought home to by comments sarcastic and many Our critics evidently laborng under the impression that we have hundred thousand dollar plant to work with and little pile of gold in the back that shovel into whenever in need of money to pay the rent
 However Everything comes to him who waits, and when the extra parts that have been ordered arrive and few fonts of atx to replace those that batter and neck with the New York Times or some where that mark.

SPEAKING OF BALANCES

 France was at war with England at that time of the Revolution and her action in sending troops to aid largely dictated by desire to strike another blow at the English rather than merely to aid the Americans to gain their independence Likewise France at war with Ger many in 197 but our action III sending troops to Europe not much to ad France as 1t was to strike blow at the Germans If France to put in claim for what she did for America in the Revolution the United States can put in claim for what did for France in the World War The balance would be tremendous credit III favor o this country leaving the debt of France to the United States on account of loans still unaccounted tor

sichorean revels. According to re-
ports, things are getting pretty sui
try in Denmark. Not to quote
Shakespeare's reference to conditions
in the other Denmark, it is plain
that there is something doing in
Denmark, Iowa.
Of course outsiders do not know
Just how things are down at Dem
mark. Maybe the young folks insist
on the cheek to cheek and such like
forms of the giddy whirl. That's as It
may be. If so, a little strenuous ar
gumentive measures at home would

description of the descent from the
dance to the devil.
II isn't new. In those old days
when you and l were young, Marga-
ret, the same row was on. In those
happy days the cheek to cheek stuff
was relegated to the drive home OF
practiced in the parlor in the pater-
nal residence. We used to waltz al
arms length but that didn't take the
curse off. The dance was the des-
cending path to Avernus just the
same. Yet most of the young folks
turned out pretty well at that.
We have changed a lot in the last
forty odd years. Recalling child
hood ogres, dye remember the status
of the atheist in those times? We
had one. He used to talk material
ism in the country store. And we
lads looked on him as the imperson-
alton of the Enemy himself. You
know we used to believe in an actual
devil and q real fiery hell in those
days. We feared to approach him.
We gave him wide path when we
met him. And some of US imagined
that he smeIled of birthstone.

and condition in society those who
went fishing on Sunday or played
baseball or would have played golf if
they had known anything about any
such diversion, maybe you recall the
manner in which they were regarded.
You may be able to visualize what
would have happened at your home
had you come home of a Sabbath ev-
ening with a string of bullheads, that
string of bullheads you caught, all
right, upon the holy day and had to
see your wicked companions carry of
in triumph. And you may remember
how fervid things were at home
when it finally came out, as such
things always do, that you had been
fishing Sunday with those Clark boys
The fact that you entered this minis
try and have preached for thirty
years and been presiding elder of the
Free Methodist church can't remove
the memory of that session with your
father, the deacon.
It's pretty hard to give verdict
Some of US went wrong then. Some
of US go wrong now. But taken one
after another, the kids of the presen.
seem to be doing fairly well. Most OF
them turn out pretty well.
The road to hell has always beer
pretty wide open. Sometimes We
wonder that more people do not trav.
ell it. On the whole, however, it isn't
crowded highway. The high roaC

MANY SLOGANS
FOR DEBORAH

In order to insure absolute fairness
in selecting the prize winner for the
DEBORAH Slogan Contest, the Commit
tee has had six typewriter lists made
on which the slogans were entered by
a stenographer, without any name or
mark to indicate by whom submitted
or where they were sent from. One
of these lists were given to each OF
the local committee who is to select
from it what, in his opinion, are the
ten best slogans. When the lists are
compared, the ten slogans thus select
ed are to be sent to Mr.. Norman r.
Barnes, advertising manager, Carson
Pirie-Scott & Co., Chicago, who will
select the winner from the ten.
The local committee feels that abb
solute fair play can be assured only
by selecting the slogan without know
ledge of who entered any of them. As
soon as Mr.. Barnes final selection is
received the name of the winning
author will be announced in these
columns. Following is complete
list of slogans submitted in the con-
test. Read it carefully. The list in
cludes large number of mighty good
ones. You will find them interesting
reading.

GROWTH OF CAFETERIA
HAS BEEN REMARKABLE
In LAST FEW YEARS
lRv Associated Press J

Chicago, Jan. 27.-The desire on
the part of the average patron of the
public eating house to save time and
money in procuring his meals, is as
signed by c.. A. Westberg, manager of
a chain of Chicago cafeterias, as the
reason for the rise of the cafeteria
during recent years to a prominent
place in public favor.
People also like to see what kind
of food they are getting before they
order it, he says, asserting that the
advantage of inspecting the various
dishes offered is a possible third fac
tor in the growth of the 'self-service"
plan.
Mr.. Westberg says that whereas
five and six years ago people hesitat-
ed to patronize first-class cafeteria
for fear of being recognized by
