MIRROR OF PUBLIC OPINION

meum and luum. II II n distinction
tho natural man seldom observes. The
laws which inculeate respect for prop
eray are a product OF civilization. II
there are those who still believe in the
total dcpravity OF human nature. they
find support for the pessimistic theory
In the fact that children seem to BE-
natpral-born HAIRS and thieves. And,
OF course, " these ''anti-social ten
denotes" 10 use the familiar jargon,
gre not eliminated IN the home, then
the school must take a hand In the
work. There Is too much evidence that
the home fails In Its duty In this re-
spect.
To educate the mind alone ls al
ways a dangerous process. Probably
otr public schools have paid too little
attention to moral culture. II will be
well II they are brought to a rcaliza-
ton of their remissness In this re-
spect. Establishing an Honesty Blu
reau Is a characteristica1ly modern
way of dealing with the problem. It
may be the only feasible way; we do
not presume TO dogmatizc upon that
point. Yet the tendency to turn over
TO welfare organizations OF any kind
The duties which only parents can
properly perform Ia a rather distress
ing symptom OF an lnedious social
disease.
Perhaps "a specialist In Juvenile
character Development will do az wei
as the old-time father who took the
boy out TO the woodshed and welded

TURKS AND CONsTANTINOPLE.

The Greeks in Asia Minor have been
badly beaten. They have called dis
tinguished Venizelist officers into SER
vice, have reorganized the Cabinet.
have appealed for Entente assistance
in arranging an armistice. Various
nations, including the United States,
have warships at Smyrna TO protect
neutrals.
But Brusa ia much nearer Constan-
tinople than Smyrna, and the Greek
defeat seems TO have been as crush
ing in the northern section of the bat
tie area. Without Entente aid the
Greeks cannot prevent the Turks from
menacing the Zone of the Straits and
even the capital.
Kemal has hitherto shown the skill
of competent commander in refus-
ing to attempt feats that We're beyond
his strength, as well as the traditional
patience of the Turk, who generally
knows how to wait. Now in the hour
of his triumph he may be overborne
by rash advisers. Brusa, once the cap
ital of the Ottoman power, seems with
in mis- power. He demands Adrianople,
the first Turkish capital in Europe,
and all of Thraee recently held by the
Porte. He knows that the Moslems
in Constantinople would welcome him
as q deliVerer. The pressure upon him
to make the attempt may be strong.
If the Entente powers, which at one
time had supreme power to make OF
Turkey what they would, are reduced
to fighting to retain even ConstanA
tinople-Smyrna they must protect
it viii be but the natural result OF
their delays and divisions of counsel
| The Turkish power should be kept
N Asia Minor where 1t belongs. A
minority race not far advanced in
civilization has no right to rule in the
ancient capital of the Eastern I'm
pire. But it would have been easier to
settle the Eastern question three
years ago by the vigorous prosecution
of a common plan. Renal then headed

practical and beneficial public work
Tho Homeopathic Hospital is the
pioneer OF institutions Of Its kind In
our city. having been first In the f,eld
after tho failure OF a misguided effort
by the City Council to establish hos
pital under municipal management
and control. Tho work it has accom-
plished II ample assurance that Il
fully deserves all the aid and encour-
agement our people may extend to It
In It's hour OF need.
And It's needs are many. 1t needs n
suitable home for It's nurses and vari-
Gus additions to it's equipment In
order to meet all the pressing de-
mands Of modern hospital service. 1t
has need of an endowment fund to in
sure its successful continuance.
This institution always has been ex-
cellently managed, with due regard
for economy as well as efficiency. II
has done a splendid work for the
people. Now let the people do their
part for the hospital.

JUST FOLKS
BY Edgar A. Guest.
copyslsht 1922 by Edgar A Guest.
THE PEOPLE.

THE PEOPLE.
Who are the people, mentioned so
much?
Who are the mulntudes? Who are
the throngs7
Whose are the lives that our actions
must touch?
Whose are the lips that are singing
our songs?
The People, The People, Our orators
The people demand and the people
expect!
This we must do for them all-you and
Holding ourselves to be persons elect
What dc we mean when we utter the
phrase?
What do we think as the crowd
surges on?
Rich man and poor man, the nag that
we raise
Mods US and holds ue together as
one.
L
land:
The honest, the brave, and the
tender and true,
Thinkers and toilers and men who
command,
Mothers, and fathers, your neighbors
and you.
Some handle money and some handle
tools.
Some sit at desks in the marble
walled banks,
Some bridge the rivers and some teach
in schools,
But all of us march day by day in
the ranks.
Who are the people we hear Of Sc
much?
Are valleys less our than the tail
mountain crag?
Ocean TO ocean our border lines touch
All are the People, who honor the
flag.

The conference committee OF Sem
ate and House on the Soldiers Bonus
bill Is nearing an agreement on the
Senate amendments. and 1t is ex-
pected the bill win be reported and
the report adopted In each branch of
the Congress before the end of this
week. Blind TO all evidences OF OPP
posing public sentiment. a majority
in Senate and House has resolved TO
foist this undesirable and costly legis-
lation, this bold and bald bid for SOL
diers' votes, upon a people already
taxed beyond endurance and plainly
opposed 10 this additional burden.
But with n fatuous disregard of plain
commonsense that is Incompetent
sible, those who favor this costly bur
den are afraid to adopt any measure
that would promise to provide the
additional revenue the bill VIII call
for. They realize public sentimen,
In this respect and fear to meet this
issue sauarely. They evidently hope
to satisfy advocates Of the bill by
passing II. and to appease Its oppo-
nents by ignoring the important mat
ter OF providing by taxation for rails
ing the money necessary to make the
bonus provisions effective. Seldom
is such amazing folly displayed by
men entrusted with the important
duty OF legislation.

CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT.

The Senate has just passed q cor
rupt practices act which may best be
described as stop-gap legislation. 1t
rs hardly an antidote TO Newberry-
ism, and It's ineffectiveness Is acknowl-
edged by its sponsors. Until there Ia
a new regime In Congress, however,
there Is hardly a possibility Of passing
a better law.
The new bill limits the expenditures
of any Senatorial candldate--expenses
paid for out OF his own pocket or dis
bursed by him--to 10000; likewise
Congressional candidates to $4,000
There is no limit, however, to the ex-
penditures made In his behalf by
friends or by political organizations
provided Il can be shown that such
expenditures arc not authorized by
him or are made without his knowl-
edge. Inasmuch as the crux of the
Newberry case was In this very point
the new law is fllmsy and represents
nothing more than an attempt to get
somo kind OF corrupt practices act
on the statue books In advance of the
November elections.
The Supreme Court declared uncon-
stitutional the existing corrupt prac.
tees law, so far as Senatorial candi-
dates are concerned, on the ground thai
the passage of the Constitutions
amendment providing for the popula,
election OF Senators changed the scop,
OF the statute; doubt was raised as e
the applicability of the law to pri
mary elections. Since that decision
| there has been no Legislative attemp
to close the gap" in the existing legs
lation until the Senate rather hastil,
and impulsively accepted the Pom
creme bill last Saturday.
II is TO be hoped that Congress vii
not lose the opportunity TO pass
| more drastic and effective law In tn
| near future. II the calculations O
certain Democratic Senator'S prove t
be correct, and the new Senate re
| peals the recent resolution 10 the Sen
ate declaring Truman II. Newberr
20 be entitled 10 his seat, the need G
such legislation will become impera
| tive. Otherwise the anticipated Gus,
ing of Newberry will be an empty ges
ture.-Baltimore Sun.

FAITHFULLY CITY GROWS.
No Knockers in a Texas City That
Was OIL. Made Overnight.

d. j. White OF Wichita Falls, Texas.
says that his town, which is known as
the City that Faith Built" will reach
the 100000 goal which has been set by
the Chamber of Commerce for 1880.
1T is quite correctly put when they
say that faith built it, for everybody
pulls together TO make the city--we
are all optimists. and we have no
knockers whatsoever" said Mr.. White
at the Hotel Astor. I'VE have grown
from a village OF 5000 to a city OF
10000 in just a few years. The big
oil strike in the Burkburnett field in
1918 advertised us throughout the
world, and people fiocked there so
fast 1t was impossible to take care of
them. 1t was common thing for as
many as 800 persons to sit up in the
depot all night. and the hotel keepers
rented chairs 10 as many as they could
accommodate-and folks were mighty
glad TO get them when they couldn't
get beds.
I'VE are now working on big iri-
cation project. and the dam, when
completed. will be the seventh largest
in the United States. The water will
cover $1,000 acres, and will irrigate
a district of 100, 600 acres along the
Wichita River.--New York Times.

soon after the ship subsidy passee
Capital is merely, awaiting the oppor-
tunity afforded by the bin. Therein
Mr.. Iasker congresses the worst that
can be said against his cause.
TO launch two such behemoths upon
the high seas of an already over ton
mayed world would be the height OF
folly. No group of sane business men
would attempt II on their own reepon-
sibility. Ali the huge liners Of the
prefent--40,000 to $4,000 tons--were
built or laid down IN the lbw days
before the war. Even then II was rec
ognized that they would be more cost-
~ TO operate in proportion to size
than smaller vessels. The big steam
ship companies were In stiff competi-
ton and made concessions to the ad-
vertislng value OF size. Lasker's mon
stroeities would be $4,000 tons larger
than the largest of those liners, which
shipping men know to be handicapped
by extreme size.
But neither Lasker nor his optimis-
tic shipbuilders expect the owners 70
carry risk of loss. Under the propos-
ed subsidy, each of these 10000 ton
noCs would draw upon the Treasury
for sl.334.o00 per annum. Fifteen trips
year would give them each sl,6T6.-

ships cost 100000 each, 1t will bc

the investment while the entire
preneurs would get the profits with
no assumption of risk.
