Not PoeticaI Lines

/ have travelled lately from Toronto
to Ottawa, Canada. To parody Mr..
Pickwick, the view on either side of
the railroad is exceedingly pleasant
to those extremely fond of farming.
But the main impression made on the
mind of the ordinary observe is:
"Why are these Industrious people
separated from the United States?'
Are most of us insane on both sides
of the Lakes? Or, are we simply
stupid? 1t isn't feeling of covetous-
ness that arises, but feeling of
shame, that we can allow ourselves to
regard each other as economic en-
emies, or even rivals. Lines drawn
east and west on this continent mark
enemies, but lines drawn north and
south are impossible and unthinkable,
because everybody living east and
west of each other are natural born
friends. North and south we are vi
cious enemies only waiting to spring
at each others threats when Europe
drops the handkerchief. A mad world,
my masters Pretty Town down, too.

Expressive Colors

1t looks now as if the designers OF
the Sim Fein flag had had in mind
the present political situation, namely
the orange standing for Ulster, the
green for the south of Ireland and
the white for the British Empire stand
ing in the middle trying to keep peace
between them. Now if they had ac'
copied my suggestion they would have
had green field with little orange
square up in the corner with white
stars to make the peaceful spots. How
ever, peace will soon be brought abour,
and it will all be over then but the
shooting.

More PROFESSIONAL Nonsense

Another book has been written (of
the making of books there is no end)
on the limitations of personal for
tunes What foolery. Why limit re-
suits without touching the cause?
None of these polite economic quacks
try to find out WHY men become
superwealthy. They are shallow think
ers who seesevil and then propose to
do evil in order to secure a remedy.
Like burning down house to get rid
of the rats. Nobody can deny that
the rats are got rid of. So, if yoa
take away the bulk of mems fortunes,
they will not be so rich and there you
are. Simple, isn't it? Almost as sim
pie as the minds that propose il
And they are authorities !" AS

Thoughts Of Today
The Real Expense

See what it cost the Canadian gov,
eminent to place $1,000 returned sol
diers on the land. Forty-six million
dollars to purchase idle land, ten mil
million for stock houses, etc. So that
it cost ten millions more for the land
than for all the necessary material
and labor to reward these faithful
servants Of their country. Who got
the forty-six millions? and how come
they were able to charge that vast
sum for nothing? The answer to this
question will be found in the offices
of slick agents who have vacant lots
to give away.

Little Lesson on Capital

See the boy He wants a stick.
See him gnaw it off the tree with his
teeth. Good boy, he has got his stick
He has la-bor-ed for it. See this other
boy, he, too, wants stick. See him
take a knife out of his pocket and
cut off the twig. Bad boy: the Knife
is capital. He is capitalist. Take
away his knife and make him bite off
his twigs, as the other boy does Give
the knife to the government. Then
they will be both good boys. No boy
should own knife even as gift.
Ask any Socialist.

\ REMINDER.

There Is nothing especially novel about the story of the cat who yes terday remained calm while a fire ragged in a barn in Middletown, N. Y.. where her four kittens lay. She was the quiestest breathing thing about the place. and as the flames rose high she went about her business Of walk ing into and out of the burning barn carrying her kittena to safety one by one.
 There is nothing new about stories such as these. often there are re- corded acts of dumb animals that are far more remarkable than this.
 But the inspiration of such tales is worthy always of comment. We note some unkind act of q person whom we consider beneath our notice. We comment upon it. not realizing that we have committed 'thoughtless ac- tions which are as worthy of adverse remark as the deed we criticize.
 Conversely we note some good act. performed by ono of whom ono would not expect such n thing. We realize, perhaps. that there is nothing re- markable about the action itself-it Is only the doing of the thing by such person thag surprises us.
 Animals arc usually considered lower than human beings: yet We may learn from them. Certain people arc considered beyond tho pale of social acknowledgment by us: yes they often
 show ua the way wo should go. The story of the cat is worthy of note merely because a contemplation of the' courageous, dutiful instinct in man or beast is always worthy of note. The flower turns toward the sun to get the full benefit of it's rays. The flower is optimistic. It does not hide
 it's blossom and refuse to take ad- vantage of the good things of its life. In all animal and natural life there ara good things to be seen. Duty and | optimism rule; courage prevails. Probably few mothers and few fathers would hesitate to take the ! dangerous chances the cat took-for ] the sake of their offspring. But other chances have to be taken by fathers.
 mothers and relatives for the sake of the young or helpless-sacrifices have ] to be made. not spectacular, but sac ] rifices nevertheless. May they be { made always.

 Possibly Germany's shrewdness realizes that the more careful she is to keep her engagements promptly. tho sooner will come tho opportunity to escape some of the penalties inn posed
 Whatever disarmament plans are made-and disarmament ia to ba hoped for devoutly-it must bo re- membcr,d always that the apprecia- ton of a superior force nearby and ready to take action was the thing that drove Germany to accept the ultimatum ot tho Allies.
 Wise men in this country have said that the betterinE of conditions here as welr au in Europe must wait until this separations matter was settled.
 Ig ia settled.
 Let optimism have its day now. Let business take full adva ntage of the happening of the event which. it was predicted. would aid business. Let confidence return and let the in- dividual, looking back upon tAs days before Germany had come to terms. go ahead with full confidence that those predictions Of the wise men hero will be fulfilled.

TALKING MOVIES

IALhlNG MONlES
 The movies are talkieS now, ap- bearing as such on Broadway.-News Item.
 There was a time, not long ago, When, at a moving picture show,
 In Podunk or New York. The ladies, having husbands curbed, Were sure of being undisturbed
 While revelling in talk. When women started out to see Their hero, in some tragedy
 Like Welded But No Wife" They watched him leap from fiat to The while they talked of this and that And other things of life. The buzz and hum, in days of yore, When tongues were wagging by the
 score,
 In ey'ry movie house, Would drive a nervous man to drink. He couldn't get a chance to think, And so became a 'Souse.' Most all these evils soon will change! When movie stars who ride the range Are speaking on the screens, Here's hoping they will shout aloud And overcome the chatting crowd
 That spells so many scenes.

VETOES SUNDAY BILL
Governor Lake Disapproves of What He Calls step Toward Commercial izing Sabbath.

Hartford. May 11.-Governor Lake yesterday vetoed the Sunday observ- ance law, returning the bill without his signature to the house of repre- sentatives late yesterday afternoon, on the ground that the proposed law meant another step in commercializ- ing the Sabbath. Governor Lake in his veto declared that the bill, which would permit the playing of profes- sional baseball and football and classic concerts Sunday afternoons, was in its character "one of the greatest menaces to the stability of the na- tion." He charged that the general assembly had erred and that the ma jority of the people of the state were opposed to the provisions of the meas ure.
 Leader Buckley said last night that the next step in the house on the bill will be a motion to adopt the bill, the governors veto notwithstanding.

POSTNiNSTIcIss.

President Harding states plainly. in hts order modifying President Will sons regarding appointment of post masters, that he considers postmaster ships "business agencies of the Gov ernment in legal purpose and should become so in fact" In effect, there tore. he says that the Government should he responsible. as far as possi- bIe under the Civil Service. for the ac- tions of postmasters.
 The effect of his order is to give the President. through the Postmas- ter General. a greater field from which to choose postmasters. Under the old order the candidate standing first ,'n the civil service examination was the ono to be chosen. Under the new or der any one of the three standing at the head of the qualified list may he selected. President Harding indicates that qualifications other than purely technical ones should govern the se- lection of postmasters, namely their business and executive ability and like qualities. Of course this new order gives to the President the power of keeping the machine" more his own. Theo- reticaily it seems fair. and will be so if politics doeg not enter into the se-

it brings the postmasterships into pos itions long recognized to be cogs in the machine. In the practical work ing out of the plan a person, no mat ter how eminently qualified in every way for the position. both as to the ability to pass the civil service exam ination at the head of the list, and as to personal fitness, may not be sure of the appointment if his politics are not in accord with those of the Ad ministration.
 Like so many other orders the just ness of it rests entirely upon the man. ner in which it is used. Certainly it will return to the President more power to give to the victors the spoils of victory, should he desire to usa it in that manner.
