THE NEW BOOKS
..Th. M,nehester Guardian"

How hundred years Of existence fe'
an English newspaper might mean al
most a hundred years Of history Tor
city and perhaps England, would entail
ihe understanding Of one o! the mar
differences between the American pres:
and the English. As Charles Prestwicf
Scott. editor of the Manchester Cutr
dian since 1872, says in the introduction
to this edition of the book, The Man
chester Guardian: A Century Of Histor,
by William Haslam Mills" ...tbe Brit
ish ones (newspspers) are more distinct
" political and that is largely due to
difference in institutions. Il the Hopse
Of Representatives exercised, besides III
own powers, nearly all those also Of the
Senate and controlled the President and
il besides there were no fixed terms tc
its existence and it might be driven any
day to General Election, what
mighty difference it would be to tine
day-to-dsy interest Of American domes
tic politics and what an invasion there
would be Of the columns Of newspapers
by political discussion"
II can be seen at a glance what a
powerful instrument for good and also
for evil a newspaper may be in Eng.
land as far as making and unmakine
history is concerned.
The outstanding thing we learn about
the Manchester Guardian is that from its
very inception this paper was liberal
The first number Of this newspaper
appeared May S, 1921. 1t happened also
10 be the day upon which the Little
Corporal died at ST. Helena. The paper
was unmistakably a Wing paper. Its
editor was John Edward Taylor but for
long time Taylor's name did not ap-
pear so much as jeremiah Carneft who
really was the publisher. The first is
sue was a weekly.
The paper grew in strength politically
and also financially and by 1880 its po-
sition as Liberal" paper was well es-
tablished all over England. Before long
the paper found its way through the
maze Of intrigue and opposition and
came from its stand as a negation to ex-
isting condition to the positivism Of pro-
gressive and recognized leadership.
The Manchester Guardian was largely
instrumental in the repeal Of the Corn
Laws. Its exact work as exempli6ed
by the work Of its editor and proprietor
is given in a clear pointed manner.
But the Guardian" did not have poll.
tics as its only purpose. 1t drew about
it staff that was second to none whether
it was in political or literary or drama
tic reporting. 1t grew into an animate
thing. 1t created its own soul This
soul was part and reflection Of the soul
Of Manchester and all England.
The book concludes with a sketch Of
the life and the work Of the present
editor. "His editorship tCharles Prest-
wich Scott has been one Of the illus
trious things of journalism at large, but

READY FOR THE PICNIC

Plans in readiness for the Boone-Cal-
lsway picnic near Millersburg tomorrow
promise TO make this affair one Of the
most complete and enjoyable Of its kind
in the history Of the two counties. Enter
iainmeni for everybody, from the "old
timers" who will swap political yarns and
cat ''just one more piece Of the chicken
TO the kids" who will glory in the ar
plane stunts and the merry-go-round, and
cal the rest Of the chicken, has been pro-
yided.
Even the younger generation, vino are
doing their best to cultivate dislike for
anything more rural than a country club,
will find entertainment at the basket din
ners and on the dance floor.
Because Of the gathering, merchants In
Fulton and Columbia have agreed to close
their stores at noon Thursday in order
that they may attend the picnic. This is
commendable, but no less could be ex-
pectcd from business men Of two such
progressive counties as Boone and Gala
way. The men In each county who spon-
sored the picnic give their time only to
those public affairs that mean something
in the life OF the community, and they
hope to make the inter-county picnic an
annual event. Every citizen who wants
TO back the progress Of his county should
be there.
Not only in a social way is the picnic
important, but it commentaries a great
historical event The memory of Daniel
Boone and his son-in-law. Captain Gala
way, will also be honored. Circuit Judge
David H. Harris and E. ". Stephens will
be the principal speakers. Galloway
County has advertised the fact that she
will be there 5000 strong and Boone
County must have equally as large
crowd as the one that will come into Mill
ersburg from every corner Of the King
dom"

A Pension for Hoboes.
From the New York Times.

From the Neu York Tunes.
The announcement Of a social panacea
from within the ranks Of a class ordi-
narily spoken Of as constituting the unfor-
tunaie victims Of society comes as re-
freshing novelty from Washington. James
Eads How, the plutocrat Of hoboes, is its
spokesman.
He advocates a scheme to project the
unemployed by what he calls Govern
ment unemployment insurance. it is to
yield the hobo 81 day while he is out
of job. Only by this means can Ameri-
can industry be revived to its fullest ex,
tent, we are assured. Perhaps Mr.. How
doesn't perceive that most Of US have
not the same fraternal feeling toward
hoboes as that which sustains and en-
mobiles him in his life work. There are,
unfortunately. those within the fold Of
the hoboes who might be called the per-
manenily unemployed, whose needs, as
well as merits. leave unmoved the less
picturesque individuals upon whom the
proposed insurance premiums would fall.
Meanwhile, the organization Of the
hobo lobby goes on. As Mr.. How re-
marks discerningly, Every other or
ganization Of note in America maintains
lobbying committee in Washington"
The precedent stands ready, the organ
ization is ready, Mr.. How is ready. Ev-
eybody seems to be ready except Con-
gress.

SOUTH BUILDS SCHOOLS

The little school house by the road
is no more. 1t is rapidly being replaced
in the South by imposing schools valued
in the many thousands Of dollars. As the
Literary Digest tells US, "a number Of the
college and university structures are so
costly and Of such an elaborate type that
they have been in course Of structure
for eighteen months or more; even some
Of the public school buildings are Of this
nature"
II is fitting that such investments should
be made by the states and cities, since
fair proportion Of ones early life is
spent in these institutions. The buildings
are 50 constructed that they are beautiful
and impressive in design. yet they are
striking because Of their simplicity; they
are equipped and facilitated with the new
est ideas.
The South is putting forth great ef-
fort to eliminate its large per cent Of il.
literacy. Ii is spending an average Of
s5.62 per capita, and is throwing out the
opportunities to all who will take ad.
vantage. 1t is placing its advancing
wealth into equipment required for finer
ideals and standards, which might be Of
great Inspiration to those within the |
South as well as TO the other sections.

NOSES

There is no nose in existence, how
ever big or little, sharp or snubbed, long
or short, straight or crooked, broad or
thin, tanned or freckled, black, white,
brown, or red, Roman, Crecian, aquiline,
or pug, but is a source Of unfailing in
ierest to one person at least. Every in
dividual is interested in his own nose. In
deed, during the influenza and hay fever
seasons, it may exclude all other interests.
Not every one is as conscious Of his
nose as was Cyrano De Bergerac, the hero
Of Rostsnd's play. De Bergerac, who
knew that his nose was ugly, challenged
every person who laughed at il to mortal
combat. Not all Of US are so sensitive
about our nose as that, yet since We have
only one, and are very likely to keep it
until it crumbles into dust, we would
IKE TO know whether ii is Of the best
quality, and the most fashionable cut.
There is one nose which is superla-
tively beautiful. Those who possess this
style Of nose are the most fortunate peo-
pie in the world. They are generally
liked and respected. They do not quar-
rel with the neighbors. Ii is a pleasure
to live near them Every one tells them
secrets because of their nose. They are
called upon to hll all positions Of trust
in the community. Do yos suppose il
is the nose that Helen Of Troy possessed?
Can it be the nose that was fashionable
during Ceopatra's day? No, this is the
nose that has all the beauty Of master
! piece. 1t is the nose that has
an unchanging beauty. No doubt
il will always be considered the
mosi beautiful nose in existence We
may all look in the mirror and see wheth-

What Others Say

We are proud. and deservediy proud, Of
the Washington Conference, with its
naval limitation treaty signed by five
Powers. Now there is before the Council
OF the League proposal to extend this
treaty to the fifteen non-signatory Pow
ers, thereby making il universal. To such
a move we must wish the speediest sue
cess.
There are other undertakings by the
League in which we could heartily CO.
operate. Mr.. Hughes argues that we can
not accept some Of the provisions relat-
ing to control of the white slave traffic
because they deal with matters that fall
exclusively within the authority Of the
States. But need this fact have de-
barred us from cooperating with the
League in drafting these provisions and
doing our part in seeing to their execu-
tions? We were working with other ma
lions in the effort to repress this traffic
long before the League was thought Of.
As far back as 1908 we significd our ad-
herence to treaty signed by Great Bri-
tain, France, Germany, and ten other
powers. Whatever constitutional objec-
lions there are to our joint action with
other governments in this matter were as
valid then as now. Yet we found way 10
cooperate with the rest of the world in
fighting this evil. What we were able to
do in 1908 we surely can do in 1922.
Wesshould be especially interested in
the work of the Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice. Almost from the foun-
dation of our Government we have point
ed to our Supreme Court as a model
which the nations might well follow in
settling differences with one another.
We have sponsored every movement for
the establishment of such an intema-
tional tribunal. 1t is a strange fate that
sets us among the mere bystanders at
the Inauguration of te present court.
The court is only one branch of the
League, but it is an important branch and
one which our own juristic arrangements
should naturally lead us to view with
special appreciation. We are cooper
sting with this court privately, so to
speak, in that one Of the judges is an
American. John Bassett Moore. But in
reference to this court, as in reference to
the activities of the League in general,

Daylight Saving Abroad.

From the Nations Business.
Daylight saving in England passes un-
der the term Of summer time. 1t has
been under consideration in the British
Parliament, where new statutory author
ity has been given.
1t seems there is something Of an ag-
ricultural bloc in England, too. Its ac-
tivities resulted in shortening the period
for early rising by three weeks at each
end. In other words, England. with its
high latitude, and the consequences upon
the relative length of sunlight and dark
ness. will next year begin daylight saw
ing late in April and end it early in Sep
tember.
