II sILKEN AGE.

"The age of silk. like the age of ehivalry, has gone.
The age of linen, wool and cotton has succeeded"
soliloquizes the Louisville CourierJ Journal.
"Preraphaelite Percy, habited in silk but one brief
year ago. the cynosure of every eye, the observed of
all observers. as he strobe complacently along, is gone,
leaving behind him the grateful fragrance Of his per-
fumed pride and pulchritude.
Back on the farm,
Away from harm
is Percy nowadays-far from perils that lurk in silks
and satins. Hands on pillow handles, he pauses now
and then at end of a furrow to mediate with signs
upon the days, now far away, when, beautiful as Ad-
oniE in silk apparel, he beamed upon the sight of maid
ems fair and matrons hone too sedate.
denim serves Percy now. Right glad is he to wear
the once condemned cotton. Like some first love,
loyal even unto death, suffering all things, enduring
ell things, democratic denim welcomes Percy back
with open arms and open collar. Crying plaintively
as Adam,
Let me be your servant;
Though / look old, yet l am strong and lusty,
denim, fond and faithful, once more is content to
serve.
Aesthetic Algernon, radiant as some rainbow and
as vari-colered, willing maidens' hearts with charm
compelling, is gone, vanished into nothingnessl Scythe
in hand, Algernon stands now like Ruth amid the
alien corn, ~wistfully looking back upon the days when
life and love were one sweet symphony and silk or
satin shirts were easy to be had as wheat now is hard
to stack or corn to shuck.
B.c.. on the farm,
Away from harm
is artistic Algernon, substituting, as he binds the grain
or locks the sunshine in the golden sheaf, a manly
tread for
The mincing-step
OF a demirep
that set maidens' hearts afutter in other days.

THE WORLDS cREArEsr MAN.

"A correspondent has been quiZzing among the
scholarly shades Of Williamstown to discover who was
the greatest man the war produced" observes the New
York Herald.
"Viseount Bryce named a trio-Mazaryk, Venizelos
and SHUTS. Baron Korf, remarking that he hated
Lenine, doubted whether there was a greater man in
the world than the Soviet dictator. Other scholars
made such widely different selections as Wilson,
Keynes and Debs.
Our own nomination for greatest man in the world
is John Smith. He was the greatest man the war pro-
duced, for he made the guns and the shells, the ships
and the tanks, the tents and the trenches. He manned
the fleets, submarines and airplanes. He went over
the top.
John Smith was the greatest man in the world in
the Old Stone Age and he will continue to be so I'M
til that drear time when the standardized human be-
ing predicted by H. C. Wells has arrived.
ut is John Smith who ploughs and harvests, writes
and reads, loves and hates. He makes clothes and
composes ballads, mows lawns and runs banks. He
gives 25 cents for a collar or 20 billions for a war
with equal grace. He pays the way of the Mazaryks,
Venizeloses and Smutses.
Remove John Smith from the world and what IA
nous statesman could keep on living?"

THE MENTAL

"a hopeful and resourceful man is Louis NJ. Ko
tecki, if we caught his name right" solemnly observes
the Kansas City Star. Anyway, he is grand sheik of
the Order of Camels and he has an idea. Whether it
will work to any end or not we do not know, but an
idea always has our respect.
"Mr. Koteckis idea is that on n certain day and at
a certain hour every Camel in the United States, and
every other person opposed to the VoIstead law who
is willing to take 3 chance on the idea working, shall
stand perfectly still for one minute and make a men,
tai protest against the enforcing law of the eighteenth
amendment
with all the Camels doing this at the same time it
ought to make for a powerful urge, if indeed there is
anything in the mental protest business. But we OBJ
serve that Mr.. Koteck insists that all the mental pro-
testers shall stand still while mentally protesting. Is
that possible? Aren't the Camels too mad to stand
still for a whole minute? We fear so, and if SO we
think Mr.. Kotecki would do better to let them hop
about while concentrating their minds on the Volstead
law and what they would like to do to its supporters.
"Also it might help the mental wave along if Mr..
Kotecki would line out some brief and snappy thought
for them to think while they are hopping. If left to
their own resources they are likely to scatter and not
get as good results. In an experiment like this, int
portant from a scientific as well as a practical stand
point, no detail that might contribute to its success
ought to be neglected. If there is any chance that this
thing viii bring the Camels a drink they ought to make
the test under the most favorable conditions. Let them
settle then on a uniform thought, or refrain say, that
they can all chant mentally. Something short, force
full and fervent. Something ending in the words, the
Vcstcai law with say 9 couple of other words Ito
he selected) preceding them. If this doesn't bring a
drink it will at least relieve the Cameis' feelings. and
that's something to be said for Mr.. Koteckis idea"

ONTARIO WILL ASSIST.

1t is understood that the Canadian province of On
tario is to assist the United States in enforcing our
prohibition laws. That will be fine. Has the su-
preme council given the provinces of Manitoba, Sas-
katchewan, Alberta and British Columbia a similar
mandate? 1t is suspected that liquor is gurgling
across the international line where these provinces
join our territory, also. About the best we get down
in this particular portion of the great American des-
ert is made in Canada
1t is well that Ontario is taking a hand for the en-
forcers on this side have been unequal to the job of
sweeping the tide back.

THE DESIRE FOR PEACE.

Mr.. Harding has stated the point clearly in his in
vitation to the nations to gather at Washington and
discuss the propriety of disarmament and other ques-
tons looking to the establishment of a permanent
peace throughout the world and a cordial understand
ing among the nations. Representatives of other pow
es will come with no misapprehensions If the peo-
pies the delegates represent desire peace and c~urtail-
ment of war equipment and those authorized to speak
do so sincerely and truly, then the convention will
perform the most wonderful work of ages. For those
who will be empowered to speak for the American
people will correctly state our attitude as a peace low
sing people, desiring to live in friendliness will all ma
=tions and peoples. And we have by our action in re-
5ducing our military establishment to the limit, suf-
sfcent only to maintain order within our possessions,
given evidence of the good faith in which we have in
5vited others to discuss with US further reductions.
: The presidents words when he Gays: There can be
no final assurance of the peace of the world in the alb
=sence of the desire for peace, and the prospect of re-
duced ornaments is not a hopeful one unless this de-
sire finds expression in a practical effort to remove
causes of misunderstanding and to seek ground for
agreement as to principles and their application, "
leave no doubt as to the state of mind in which ma
tions must come to the conference, if they would ac-
complsn the objects for which they will assemble.
Disarmament alone, will not prevent nations from
quarrelng. The mere fact that there are no imple-
ments at hand to fight with is not going to stop a fight
if nations are so minded. There must be a genuine
desire to avoid a row and actual blows. A state of
mind that seeks justice, honesty and fairness rather
than advantage by doubtful means a willingness to
employ logic instead of passion in dealings one with
another.
If the disarmament convention assemblies in a prop
er frame of mind determined to better the condition
of the peoples of the world and relieve them of bur
dcns that are driving them to bankruptcy, something
will be accomplished, if not all that is hoped.

JOKES ARE OFTEN COSTLY.

Punch's joke about the workman who reprimanded
the plumber for sharpening a lead pencil because at
was a carpenters job" illustrates the actual expert
ence of executives operating railroads under govern
ment direction. There is in the sworn testimony of
the hearings many equally absurd instances of similar
character. The people are not through paying for
just such jokes as Mr.. McAdoo played upon them
when he was the chief jester at King Woodrow's court.
