Where the State Plays Nurse.

Frau Clare Zetkin, deputy in the Reichstag is
an enthusiastic supporter of the Soviet government.
She describes Russia as "a country where children
are no trouble because the state is playing nurse.
Evidently the good frau considers this happy
state of affairs that will especially appeal to the
women of all lands.
While it is undoubtedly true that modern con-
ditions of living have made children, in certain
sense. trouble to their parents, nevertheless
there mighty few fathers and mothers in America
who have any desire to turn their children to
the state to be reared. No mother worthy of the
name is longing for Soviet government to relieve
her of her blessed troubles.
However, many womens organizations, without
realizing the end to which their theories will lead,
are urging Legislation that will allow this govern
ment to enter home life, to interfere with the
sacred relationships and to assume larger part of
the responsibilities of the parents.
In frenzied effort to save the world by legis-
lation, many people Tare laboring under the deiu-
sion that good homes healthy children and happy
motherhood can be miraculously produced by the
state if only there is law giving the government
the power to take that effort from the shoulders
of the fathers and mothers of the country
In the old days good homes and fine citizens
were made by putting responsibility upon the pa
rents Nobody wanted to chloroform their children
because rental agents barred them from respect
able houses and apartments, and nobody thought of
turning their offspring to Uncle Sam to rear
when cost of bread and shoes increased
But if we do not begin to appreciate the lber-
ties which many people asking the govern
ment to take away, is there not danger of time
coming when the United States will be described
as country where children are no trouble, because
the state is playing nurse?"

Poppy Venom.

The foreword of POPPY Venom" {"
by II. Stewart Beers. and published
by the Andrew B. Graham Company.
Washington. quotes from Kipling's
American Notes" as follows:
Tales of lonely nights spent out
prospecting, and the chase Of men.
Of woman-lovely womsn-who is
a frebrand in a Western city and
leads to the popping of pistols, and
Of the sudden changes and chances
of Fortune"
This is the flavor the author has
attempted to inject into his novel,
not without a degree Of success.
He has a plot. to which he has stuck
fast, with a somewhat unreal hero,
decidedly unreal heroine, and a
villain who is perhaps more true
to life.
However. there is no attempt at
preachment in the volume and the
suspense element Of the story is sus-
tained. Consequently the book, as
light reading, should make a fairly
agreeable travelling and vacation
companion.
1t seems somewhat sad. however,
that a Washington publishing. house
should not produce more worthy ma

Washinetonians that this city shall

Britain's s One Leader.

That willy little Welsifman, who heads the Brit
ish government, and Britan's leaders are so often
from outside England, has won another emphatic
victory. In bye-eection in Wales a straight issue
was made against his leadership. There was much
talk of crucial of his national strength in this
one little bailiwck.
Vaughan Williams, the opposing candidate was
supported by Asquith and all the ant-Lloyd George
forces But the George candidate, Capt. Evans, got
80 per cent of the vote. This is sufficiently en-
phatic
Yet to an American onlooker, Lloyd George
who has been in office since 1905 and premier since
1915, holds his power for just one reason: He is
the only man of the first class Great Britain seems
to have. He has uncommon courage, he is adroit;
he can change overnight; he goes as the wind
blows, but for each occasion he has policy which
seems to suit British opinion.
The word Consistency" is not in his political
dictionary. But he has quickness of wit and
force of character, chameleon though he may be-
which make him far superior in action to any of
his opponents that Great Britain does not dare
swap horses. No one knows just what his policy
will be on any issue until an occasion forces one
and then it is accepted as something done
No public man has more bitter opposition and
no opposition so lacks forcefui leader Lloyd
George will go when the man, rather than the
issue, appears.
