PLAIN, TRUTHFUL REPRESENTATIONS.

The echoes from Harveys London address are still
reverbrating and likely win continue for some time.
It was the first regular American talk heard in for
eign parts in several years In all probability there
will be more of it from time to time as occasion de-
mands- The world has gained a wrong impression of
the ideals and aspirations of the American people
through an unfortunate and unauthorized presidential
visit at a crisis in the worlds affairs when America
was expected to assume leadership and utterly failed.
Erroneous impressions must be corrected and there
is no shorter and surer way than by plain truthful
statements. The shock may not be pleasant in some
quarters but after recovery from it and the real sit
uation understood there is a basis to proceed upon
which did not exist before.
With a group of able, sincere and honest Americans
distributed to the several important capitals through
out the world representing and speaking for the
American people instead of a detached individual with
an obsession we are more likely to be understood and
respected even though our policies and purposes are
not entirely approved by other peoples.
The visit of General Wood to the far east will be
productive of a clearer understanding and improved
relationship with the peoples of that quarter of the
world, where doubt and misrepresentation of US has
long existed.
With the South American relationships corrected
and Mexican friendship re-estabished, there remains
only Central Europe and there time alone, can clear
the situation.
The world has confidence in a government with men
like Harding and Hughes a. its head.

DECLINE OF

That the world is a pretty good place in spite of all
the ugly things that are said about II is the opinion
Of the Philadelphia Ledger and it continues:
Manners have been declining, in the opinion Of
many custodians and curators of morals, ever since
there were any manner 20 decline. A writer observes
Our newspapers contain accounts of numerous frauds,
robberiey. arsons, murds-s and other crimes. and these
things give occasion to many for saying that crimes
are more numerous now than ever and that civiliza-
ton is waning into barbarism.'
zone can hear sermons like that any Sunday in
any city.
"After-dinner speakers are accustomed to joke for
a little while, then pull a grave face and tell us that
we are rushing headlong to ruin.
"The welkin rings with the clamor of those who are
reforming their grandmothers and reading the riot act
to debutantes.
"Tf we must have somebody to reform, why not be-
gin, as Chesterton suggests, with ourselves?
at doesn't help to cry forever: The world is very
evil, the times are waxing late and bewail the trans
gressions Of all the rest.
Everything that is said today about costumes and
customs has been reiterated since Eder4s Every age
has Landed some golden age before it, when every
body was ,immaculately good.
THE world is dreadfully young and desperately I'M
finished, and there is a heap to do to bring in the mil.
lenniuni. But merely '~slamming' one another isn't 60
ing to help. And the world, with all its load Of sin
and shame, was never so good a place as it is this
spring morning"

MAINTENANCE OF ROADS.

Travellers in France remember the neat piles of
crushed rock on French roads and the old men work
ing with hammers beside them, remarks the New York
Tribune. To each man is allotted a section Of road.
If Q hole appears he repairs it. If the topping needs
replacing he sees that it is done. A few francs spent
for prevention save napoleons for reconstruction. So
General Pershins, who knows what can be done, has
informed the Senate committee on post roads that
money appropriated for road construction which does
not carry a provision for maintenance is wasted.
On our roads good sections are built-often on in
sufficient foundations-and allowed to deterioratc,
with not only increased cost, but the constant closing
of sections for repairs. As the use of automobiles for
commercial purposes increases the need for roads in
good conditions grows greater. The problem is nation
wide. An increased traffic demands provisions for the
adequate upkeep of highways. In one matter we
must conquer the national temperament.
General Pershing might well have quoted Laurence
Stcrnes famous line: They order said ], this mat

THE NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE.

If President Harding listens to the voice Of the peo-
pie in his selection of the successor of the late Chief
Justice White his choice is bound to be William How
ard Taft. There never was a clearer indication of
the will of the people than the countrywide prefer
cnce for Mr.. Taft. 1t is the same in all sections of
the country. As an example of the existing senti-
ment the Boston Transcript fairly reflects it when it
says:
From one end of the country to the other the be-
lief is growing that Mr.. Taft will be the next chief
justice, and from one end of the country to the other
there is spontaneous approval of the selection the
president is expected to make. The only unfavorable
comment we have seen he's come anonymously from
Washington, where several senators are said to have
invoked what they are pleased to call Mr.. Taft's own
rule of age seainst his elevation to the chief Justice
ship. The fact is that as President Mr.. Taft laid down
no hard and fast rule of age in selecting supreme court
timber. 1t is true that he preferred yosager men if
competent and conspicuously fitted to older men, but
in the exercise of this preference he made exceptions.
Mr.. Justice White was Sc when President Taft made
him chief justice; Justice Lurton was in his 65th year
when President Taft made him an associate justice,
and each was quickly confirmed.
'Chief Justice White and Associate Justice Lurton
had long judicial experience. So has Mr.. Taft, who is
not yet 81; three years on the Ohio bench; two years
solicitor general of the United States in the supreme
court; eight years presiding judge of the United States

OLD POLICIES AND NEW.

1.-THE wheels of time are not slow in their revolv-
ing" says the New York Times, "after ALL"
Fifteen years ago an announcement of a public
address by the president of the United States meant
a further belaboring of the criminals of great wealth
and a new appeal for the fatherly supervision and con-
troll of business by government agencies. The presi-
dent of the United States came to this city yesterday
and in two brief addresses he said just the other thing.
In his speech at the luncheon of the Academy of Polit-
ical Science he dwelt upon the staggering cost of
government control of business-.a cost which So
ciety could not bear for long, a cost that has left So
ciety burdened with debts,-and he spoke with en-
phasis and full confidence of the reduction of govern
ment expense. At the dinner of the New York Com.
mercial in the evening Mr.. Harding so far departed
from the old formulas and preachments as actually to
give business a good character and to deny the need
for PERPETUAL government meddling.''

In the view of the Philadelphia Ledger: sThe presi-
dent does well in leaving international affairs to his
secretary of state. They are in charge Of a man who
does not become intoxicated on ideas and blind drunk
ganda. Thus far it has not been necessary to issue
interpretations or diagrams Of what might have been
meant.
Truth to tell, there have been times in recent years
when no two men could agree upon the exact mean
ing of an American state paper. There is evidence
that such days are happily past. If so, we shall be a

T CAR ACCIDENTS.

WHILE the newspapers generally
throughout the country list, almost
daily, automobile accidents of a har-
rowing nature, Mexico thus far has
been free from really serious affairs
tof this kind. This is due in a large
part to the effectual, enforcement of
the local motor laws and the fact the
public here generally abides by them.
There are some who still refuse to
obey the speed injunction or head
light when they believe the eye of the
Law is not on them. They will M
doubt get theirs in time,-either in
court or in the ditch or arrest under
a serious accusation for the death or
terrible injury to another.
There are some people who never
see the use Of the law until they
ONE directly in contact with it. Then
it is often too late. These d~evoteees
of personal liberty" r not only first
to violate the law but first to seek
it's aid in even minor matters that
should be settled out of court.
If you are opposed to the enforce
ment of laws come out in the open
and advocate the elimination of the
law. If you are for the laws being
enforced obey them.

HEARING r o HOME.

THE following from the Boston
Globe is to the point and reflects
sentiment in the East and also of the
West: The demand for disarmament
is blowing like a hurricane through
the corridors of the Nationa Capital.
One gust is, of course, the size of
our tax bills. Yet our largest tax
payers are not the ones hottest for
disarmament. Neither is there any
demand in the press comparable to
the zeal for disarmament in Congress.
It is the grapevine telegraph which
Is admOnishing the congressman.

The Menaltink
Club

A great many people are still ask
ing the question What does Menal-
tink Mean?" Well about two years
ago a party of young married women
in Mexico met n day and decided to
organize a club to assistin Willing the
long winter afternoon away, for
these women r all good housekeep-
ers and their husbands show they are
well fed but you know IAN work, no
play, so they wanted to have a
club and play bridge at least one
afternoon in every two weeks. After
much thought and consideration on
the part of the members the Men
ailtink" was decided upon for the
club name, now to ease your minds
once for all the name means Good
Fellowship (look in Webster and
you'll see.) The minds that started
this club and decided on the name
we.1e: Mrs. Claiborne Jaskson, Mrs.
Herbert Plunkett, Mrs. Wallace Fry,
Mrs. Ralph Buckner, Mrs. Turner
Williams, Mrs. Jake Buckner, Mrs.
Ray Miller, Mrs. Lester Miller. Bridge
was the pastime of the meeting and
a delicious lunch was always served
after bordering over the new rules of
the games and now the ladies are so
well up on the game that they a
teach some of us. Mrs. Plunkett has
moved to Minneapolis, Mrs. Ralph
Buckner has moved to Wyoming, Mrs.
Ray Miller to Oklahoma, so the club
has now as members Mrs. George
Will Robertson, Mrs. Alvin Dali
meyer, Mrs. Harrison Brown, Mrs.
F. w. Cone, Mrs. Turner Williams,
Mrs. Jake "Buckner, Mrs. Claiborne
Jackson, Mrs. Lester Miller and Mrs.
Wallace Fry. Another member, Mrs.
Neal Silliman had to withdraw this
last year on account of household
cares. This club is true 10 its name
in every way and not only enjoys good
fellowship together but with every
one.
