THE NEXT WORLDS FAIR.

There hasn't been a decade for the last
half century without it's worlds fair,
and perhaps several of them. City after
city has set out to hold one, confident in
its advertising value, sure that it would
bring thousands of visitors and millions
of dollars to local merchants Usually
such cities have been disappointed.
Worlds fairs seldom pay those who pro-
mote them. Those who profit are the
visitors Next year there is to be a
worlds fair well worth seeing.
Brazil is to hold it, by way of cele-
brating the centenary of the establish
ment of the Brazilian state on September
I, 1922 Already the work of levelling
one of Rio Janeiro's famous hills into
the bay to form an exposition ground
is well under way. Rio is the capital,
and therefore, gets the exposition The
independence of Brazil as it happens,
was first proclaimed at Sac Paulo,
whence comes most of our coffee.
The exposition will include exhibits
of national products of every kind from
every quarter of the great republic, as
well as displays from other lands, for
which invitations have already been ex-
tended. Then there will be congresses of
educators and engineers and business
men of every line of endeavor. 1t viii

JAPAN AT WASHINGTON.

The American public is pleased and
treasured by the decision of Japan to
participate in the Washington conference
without any reservations as to the scope
of the discussion. 1t is still questioned
bv some critics whether it would not
have been better, for practical reasons.
to limit the range of discussions to the
original subject of disarmament. But
the broad invitation was accepted by the
other powers, and with Japan's acquies-
cence may result more successfully than
the critics have dared to hope.
At any rate. Japan will lose nothing
by coming to Washington and laying all
her cards on the table. The United
States is not trying to 'Sput anything
over on Japan or any other country. 1t
is engaged in an earnest attempt to ac-
complish certain matters of post-bellum
adjustment which so far have remained
unsettled. to the cost and anxiety of all
the powers What the United States
aims at is for the good of Japan no less
than of America and Erope. ANY power
coming with clean hands, ready to deal
squarely at the council table, will itself
get a square deal.

with GUNS Cooked"

The Brattleboro Reformer describes
the maneuver of Company | in charging
the crowd at Bellows Falls recently
when some wOodSmen arrived in the vii
lage to go to work in place of the strik-
ers, as follows:
The double quick" command was
given and the soldiers with guns
cooked and at high port (Which
would allow them to be brought
quickly into position for a bayonet
charge) started on run toward
the crowd in the road.
The double quick" command is as OBJ
solete as fright about face" the former
having been changed to ''double-time'
and the latter to 'about-face."
The Rutland News does not under
stand the term Cooking the gum" mean
ing. it is understood, the Springfield
rifle. The News also believes that Cap
tain Gibson of Company l is too good q
soldier TO let his men rush through a
crowd with guns cooked" and without
the piece being locked. To do so might
warrant a court-martial, particularly as
such an action could result in the dis
charge of the rifle causing any amount OF
damage The writer has known of sew
eral cases of officers who have been pun
ished for offenSes such as this.
The Springfield has no peer among
rifles unless it be that of Germany. which
Is similar to it. In the hands OF CO
pable man it is a dangerous weapon. In
the hands of any man, loaded, particu
larry where crowds. not enemy, are con
cerned. it is a weapon that must be
handled with the greatest care.
The News can go as far as it likes to
show off its military knowledge so far as
The Reformer cares, and can punch tC
its hearts content the straw image il
has built up, but the joke is on the News
nevertheless, becauses the guns were not
loaded, which fact was not known by the
crowd. The vancouver, which wa:
purely vancouver to disperse the
crowd, was carried out Just as The Re
former stated, and it worked. and we dc
not believe Captain Gibson will be court
martialed for it either. The tenor o
the News's editorials is to doubt a state
ment that the company rushed through
the crowd with guns cooked" but i
the News still entertains any doub
about the story it knows how it cal
easily ascertain the truth.

woman in Little Falls, Mimi. Off
cial city and county nurse, has worked
out n scheme to relieve local unemploy-
ment and housing difficulties at one and
the same time. She rents dilapidated
buildings for small sums Then she
hires unemployed workmen to put in
necessary repairs and to do whatever is
required to make of the shouses clean,
wholesome, habitable homes. Then they
are rented. at reasonable sums, to house
less families. particularly among the
city's poor. Her plan is constructive and
worthy of emulation for more than one
reason. In some cases it would, be a
waste of time and materials to make over
really diIapidated house. Where the
building has simply been neglected and
needs only the letting in of sunshine and
fresh air, the tightening of boards and
shingles and a generous application of
fresh paint, with perhaps the installation
of sanitary plumbing arrangements, the
waste lies in continuing to neglect it.
There are many such buildings in every
community. The county nurses plan not
only betters housing conditions and les
sens unemployment. 1t is also reclaim
ing good materials which are lying idle
and which would be entirely wasted if
allowed to proceed on their course of de-
terioration.

We are glad that the knights of CO.
lumbus in their great convention at San
Francisco have sounded the keynote of a
wide campaign against religious preju-
dice. But for religious prejudice
the Ireland situation would be solved
in the twinkling of an eye. Religious
prejudice is the greatest barrier in the
whole world to real progress in all direc-
tions. No greater cause could challenge
the efforts of the Knights of Columbus
than the one they have now undertaken
with commendable zeal.
