Railroad men and coal men talk of striking together. They may not do it-probably won't. This coun- try has not developed. in labor. the solidarity that exists in Europe. But the strike is possible. If not probable. and it would not be pleas ant. It might be wise to get in your coal, although that advice, of course, Is enough to raise the price of coal by the retailer.
 Mrs. Harriet Luella McColium, feminist and psychologist. startles you. She says marriage should be made very difficult and divorce very easy. and she even advocates ten porary wifehood." She thinks there should be special marriage laws Ito protect the exceptional woman"
 The church to which she belongs will make up it's mind what it ought to do about it.
 All women are "exceptional." If there are 5O,O0o.oo0 women in the United States. you would need 5o.- ooo.ooo marriage and divorce laws If you followed the McColIum idea. The feminist psychologist should know that marriage is new; human beings. men especially, are not used to it or fit for it. But they should make themselves fit and all laws Should tend in that direction.
 One Harvard graduate. an intel ligent one. discussing the suggested exclusion of limiting of Jewish stu dents said:
 tThe Jews have university of their own in Jerusalem. It is de- voted to Jewish culture and Jewish ideas. If the Arabs poured in and swamped the Jews. the Jews would put them out"
 Quite possible. but Boston Isn't Jerusalem. Harvard is net Jewish university and Jews are not Arabs.
 The question is: Shall a United States university. exempt from taxes and supposed to represent the Amer ican idea. give an equal chance to all?
 Li Yuan-Hung. the new president of China, wants democratic institu- tions and the abolition of graft. That sounds we'll, but words alone, as the lamented Theodore Roosevelt said, are not important. In addition to talking President L gives to public schools his entire salary. s24,o00 a month, to which he adds s40,joo monthly in the way of perquisites and S6o,000 monthly in the way of honest graft" taken by his prede- cessor. In all, he gives s124,0o0 a month to the schools, and that Is more than words--the best news from China in long time.
 The regular salary of the Chinese president appears to be as much in three months as our president gets in a whole year.
 The French are worried about a German military mission in Moscow. But worry won't do any good Rus sia and Germany side by side. more than 100000 900 human beings with the same kind of troubles. are bound to come together sooner or later.
 The way to meet that situation Is to make 1t possible for those two nations to exist and somehow get back to prosperity. The American attitude toward Russia and the at titude of western Europe toward Germany do not help peace.
 Some dispatches say: "Lenines power is gone" German doctors are quoted saying that his mind is af- fected, memory destroyed. etc. You hope for Russia's sake that this is simply one more of the Lenine stories. But man that has fought ezar government all his life and managed Russia since the czars vau- ished. being shot twice in the pro- cess. may well break down.
 The curious thing about Russia is that, among all the worlds great up- heavals, it has seen the revolution most ably managed. with least vio- lence. That statement may surprise those whose opinions are formed by geese that bought the czar's bonds and will never get their money.
 The attorney general of Kansas has announced that the state super intendent of schools may not dis miss school teachers because they dance. He even says dances may be held in school houses. If the school boards approve. It is extraordinary what hold stupid fanaticism has still in this country. and the things that fanaticism can do, dismissing one teacher because she dances. an other because she cuts her hair short .S0ufhprn Vcfornns
