FREE THE CABLES

The anomaly of America being almost
totally dependent upon other nations for
world communication demands attention
as perhaps the most important of the
problems of our foreign relations. Great
Britain or France can censor practically
every cable message which is sent from
the United States to foreign land.
The subject came to public attention
from the reports of various complications
growing out of the disposal of German
owned cables during and at the close of
the war; The settlement of the dispute
with Japan concerning cable communica-
ton through zap, and the adjustment of
the question of communication with Latin
America which displayed the frmness of
Secretary Hughes, momentarily allayed
public interest in the matter.
But that the problems are far from
solved is revealed by recent statement
made by Walter S. Rogers, American dele
gate to the International Communications
Conference, before the Institute of Politics
held in Williamstown, Mass. Great Bri-
tain's dominant position in world COM
munication, Mr.. Rogers asserted, made
London not only the news center Of the
world, but also the center of the worlds
trade, from which quotations are sent out
to all parts Of the east in pounds sterling.
The present American cables, he said, are
but feeders of other systems.
Appartnely the one greatest need in
this country is wise, statesmanlike, con-
sistant cable policy which shall be pressed
by the government until the United States
enjoys cable communication with the
world unhampered by foreign interference
and free from possibility of foreign con-
troll.
The present administration has shown
capacity and right purpose and has &C
complished much, but the subject is of so
great Importance at to demand persistent
attention. Unsettled questions growing
out of the war still demand opportunity to
advance Americas interests and to assert
Americas rights and there should be no
relaxation of vigilance. The position of
power which the United States now holds
tends greatly to extend our world rela-
tons; not less does it afford leverage to
exact that justice which the energetic poll
cies Of other nations have denied this coun-
try in the matter of cable connections.

LAFAYETTE DAY

There is beautiful sentiment in the Gus
tom born of the war, and which seems
likely to be continued, of celebrating
American and French national holidays
jointly in both countries 1t is fine token
of friendship for America to observe Bas-
tile day, no less than for France to cele-
brate the day of our independence.
But there is one day in the celebration
of which both nations can join unreserved-
ly and intellectually, with no Difference
to the other. September 6, anniversary of
the birth of Lafayette and of the first
battle of the Marine, is natal day in the
life of America as we'll as in that of
France. Americans will always think of
the immortal Lafayette more as their own
than as Frenchman who performed noble
service for this country. And we now
know, though on that fateful day in 1914
our interest was merely that of curious
spectator, that in the Valley of the Marine
we as well as France were victorious when
the Hun was stopped in his first drive on
Paris.
In churches, schools and public places
let us pay tribute to the man who with
Washington paved the way to liberty for
our country when the American colonists
were enmeshed in turmoil and revolution.
Lafayette's devotion to our cause, his un-
ceasing effort and personal sacrifice, are
typical of the spirit of France today. Let
us voice our appreciation of one of her
most glorious sons.

WHAT MAKES 1T SPORT

Looking along the sport horizon the eye
encounters a variety of interesting phe-
nomena this season. Ancient superstitions
that man must be matured to play cham
pionship golf, or in the first flush of youth
to dominate in baseball, are being ex-
ploded with considerable frequency and
experts are beginning to figure that age
cuts very little figure in any final standing
in sport.
Golf is living down the stigma of being
an exclusive possession of the aged and
decrepit. The countrys new open cham
pion is youth who will vote for the first
time this fall His victory will promote a
new interest in the game among young
sters. Curiously enough the runner-up in
the championship was grandfather, a
veteran before the winner was born. An
Atlanta boy is uniformly the lowest cham
pionship scorer, although he has never won
a national title. His work is matched by
the work of men who are fathers, settled
golfers. Apparently age counts for moth
ing in ones golf status.
In baseball it is commonly supposed that
one is on the descendent after 30, but the
years sensations have been achievements
of the ancient Mr.. Cobb and the resurrec-
ton of Mr.. Bush, who has pitched himself
to more victories than any other player.
Swimming would seem to be sport in
which established strength and endurance
of the late twenties would prevail, but the
other day 16-year-old girl broke five rec
ords up to mile in one race, and 20
year-old Chicago boy has been shattering
old standards in monotonous succession.
Tilden's age would appear to be the tennis
players ideal, but STRIPPING is being
picked as his successor, and Helen Wills,
another 16 year old, is giving Molla Nal
Tory battle for the woman's title Youth
comes to the front in what have been re-
garded commonly as the property of ma
turity-age steps in the sacred precincts
of youth.
There are no conclusions to be drawn
from these facts, save that achievement in
sport is a matter of heart and the will tol
win as well as the agility that youth i'm
plies and the experience that age brings.
No conclusions are necessary. It is good
that sport is not matter Of foregone con-
illusions and inevitable decisions. That isl

BARRING MARRIED MEN,

The fiat owner who bars the baby has
now been joined by higher learning as a
discourager of matrimony At least tits
so in Evanston, ILL.,, where the dean of the
college of liberal arts-which seems to be
anything but liberal with its salaries has
issued statement barring married men as
teachers in the college.
He makes one exception to this ban, for
professor who has sufficient independent
means may be employed. Otherwise mar
ried men need not apply, so states the
dean, who says the $35 or $40 a week
salary is too little to support the family of
a college professor in the style it should
be supported in Evanston. Inability to
meet the demands Of the social life of the
town and the high cost of living in such a
suburb, render the home life of the mar
ried professor miserable, his wife is either
forced to go to work or his mind is dis
tracted by worry over unpaid bills and his
teaching suffers.
1t has long been commended that colleges
for women are unintentional discouragers
of matrimony, but it looks serious, indeed,
when universities oppose it openly for en-
ployes.

Viewed in another light, the charges
which Senator Pittman filed against the
Republican administration, in his inter-
view with the Santa Fe New Mexican, ap-
pear to be statement of few of the
conditions which obtained throughout the
entire eight-year Democratic regime, and
which the Republicans were unable to cor
rect during the first year of Harding
term.
