A Detroit judge has refused to
direct the reinstatement of a young
lady who was expelled from the
Ypsilanti normal school because she
smoked cigarettes. The judge should
have issued the mandate that the
college reinstate the miss after she
had been soundly spanked on some

court house and the college, or some

James Cox, late Democratic can
didate for president, is back from
a tour of Europe with a mess of
scrambled ideas in his noodle that
are fermenting worse than a batch
of home-brew and, as a natural con-
sequence, Jeems is running off at
the mouth-a virulent diarrhoea of
meaningless language erupting in a
manner that is little short of dis
gushing. In essaying the role Of a
student of economics Mr.. Cox mere
ly makes himself clownish. He is a
second-rate4 vaudeville entertainer,
and not of stellar magnitude in the
sphere to which he aspires.
According to the Record a large
shipment Of union suits and sweat
ers, in transit from San Francisco
to Phoebe, were stolen With win
ter not far distant Phoebe citizens

Henry Ford is fast becoming a
source of aggravation. Just after
most Of us have laid in our winters

Sweden's income from the liquor
trade during 1922 is estimated at
$32, 900, 900, according to official re-

more than that from valiant booze
fighters of the United States, alone.
Sweden is, apparently, in need of
modern cash register, under the
eyes Of a keen lookout.

him to capture.
An exchange quotes Democratic

ing:
Russia, Germany, and China in
alliance opposing Great Britain,
France, and other nations, and a
world war in which we of America
must take place with one side or
the other and fight for our lives
was the prediction made by Mrs.
Annette Funk, Washington, DC,
attorney, speaking to members of
the Lions Club at Reno yesterday"
The lady is a blue Funk-she is

Thomas A. Edison says, "There
will one day spring from the brain
Of science a machine or force SO
terrible IN its potentialities, SO abb
solutely terrifying, that even man,
the fighter, who will dare torture
and death in order to infiict it, will

from a distance Of seventy-hve
