THE question Economist Lauck
asks DIR. Garfield, apropos Of
i the doctors idea that un-
skilled labor shouldn't have babies,
is one you yourself must frequently
hay7 pondered:
Where is the future to get the men
and women willing to do its rough
worki
In Bellamy's Looking Back
ward that beautiful picture of a
dream state, the problem you will
recall, was solved by putting the
humblest of service highest in honor.
You can do that in a dream state,
but it is decidedly another story
when you come to everyday life.
We have known many noble ideal
lists, but very few who liked to wash,
dishes or clean the sewer.
The dignity of labor presents one
aspect to the platform orator or
parlor uplifter in full dress and a
very different use to the toil-stained
worker in overalls.
Yet the dishes must be washed
and the sewers cleaned. Likewise
the swamps drained, the. roads
mended, the quarries mined and the
stones broken.
There ism t any conceivable future
state of society in which great deal
of the necessary labor will not be of
the kind which makes little demand
upon skill.
Hence, practically speaking, the
Garfield idea won't do. 1t can't be
enforced upon the .unskilled them
selves, and, if it could, it would be
suicidal for the rest of mankind. o..
The. only remaining solution, if
society wants its rough work done,
is to pay living wage-and more.

Servant and Master.

"HE fact that in Nevada the
judge who granted Mary
i Pickford a divorce was de-
feated on that issue at the recent
election proves chiefly that if
Nevada had had the recall for
judges the opponents of easy di-
vorce might have been spared a
wait of two years.
We should suppose that an issue
over divorce would be aimed at
lawmakers rather than judges.
But 1t appears that the factor of
judicial discretion entered largely
into Mary's case and that is prop
erly a matter for public review.
Something is needed to check
the increasing tendency of judges
to consider themselves immune
from accountability to the public
they serve.
The servant must not be allowed
to become superior to the master.

Lenin Alone Survives

TOR five years Lenin has held
II power in Russia against all eff
L forts to upset him. Every
premier opponent throughout the
world - Wilson, Clemenceau,. Or
lando, Lloyd Georges down; he
alone is up.
On top of that comes word that
Siberia, as soon as the Japanese
army had gone, threw in its lot with
Moscow.
A queer man is Lenin, still little
understood. He makes mistakes,
then admits them and publicly tries
to correct them. No demagogue
would do that; even an American
statesman would have to be cagey to
get far by such policy.
Yet Russia sustains him and ap-
parently thinks highly of him. When
he sickens, it holds his place open
till he gets well. He is unshaken by
war, famine or pestilence.
One of these days our Government
will have to recognize the govern
ment he heads now, it would seem,
the stablest government on the
European continent.

Open. Door.

IN. his fine inaugural address as
chancellor of Syracuse Univer-
i sity, DR.. Charles Wesley Flint
gave a clear picture Of what should
be the objective of higher educa-
ton.
"The CALL" he said, els for abil-
ity, skill and capacity rather than
the informed mind; for knowledge
which is power rather than knowl-
edge which is possession. Progress
depends on the service of minds
able to discern, discriminate and
disentangle; that can push aside
the irrelevant and 60 straight to
the heart; that can unmask soph-
istry and lay bare fundamentals /;
that can see into, through, around
and beyond any problem presented"
Naturally in a democracy such
call cannot safely be limited but
must be open to all. Hence he
added:
America will not stand for ex-
clusion on any other basis than
demonstrated unworthiness.
America, unfortunately, is stand
ing at its gateways for exclusion on
another basis-the illogical basis Of
percentages.
The same consideration which
makes wise the open, internal door
to opportunity will one day, and
we believe soon, open again the
door to worthy immigration.

A city, with its hard pave

Its overhead apartments and
its clattering traffic, is an un-
comfortable, unhealthy place
for dogs. They are infinitely
happier in the country. II you

understand something of the
cruelty Of keeping him on a

survival Of the ancient ana
nearly universal preference foI

The Kind That Thrills

IN the principle that good ex-
III ample should be set high for
~ emulation, Senator Borah's
triumph in Idaho for the direct pri-
mary is worthy of repeated notice.
All the bosses were against letting
the people nominate. The bosses of
his own party even more determined
ly than the bosses of the opposition.
Fhe Legislature had repealed the
direct primary law and the bosses
threatened Borah with political ex-
tinction if he questioned their YER
dict.
Singly he took the issue to the
voters, speaking in every part of the
State, and when the ballots were
counted he had carried nine-elev-
enths of the Senate and ten
thirteenths of the House.
There has rarely in our day been
a challenge more courageous or a
victory more inspiring.
If what harnessed science does for
every American is equal to the work
once done by thirty slaves, surely

cave man. And he is sort Of "baby
cave man." for he goes about naked and
lisdains such "effete" infantle luxuries
as go-carts and be-ribboned caps. But
they don't feed him like baby cave man.
They feed him like little vegetarian ami
NAL. The cave men had fires, and after
their cave babies were weaned their pa
rents tossed them bones TO suck and scraps
of tender meat. But not little Jimmy
Syracuse. He has never tasted meat. He
has never tasted any by-product of ami
NAL origin, such as cheese or butter. He
has never tasted anything cooked, except
an occasional thin slice of bread.
Perhaps you remember reading in your
school natural history that certain animals
and certain savages live principally on
roots, nuts, fruits and berries" Well
there you have Jimmy Syracuse's all
year-round menu, except that you would
have to stretch the word "roots" to in
clude tubefs and vegetables that grow
above as well as below the ground.
How does he thrive on such strange
diet? The answer is that he thriyes very
well--for little Jimmy Syracuse, New
Yorb's cave man baby (either because of
this diet or in spite of it), is to-day the
strongest and healthiest infant in the
world
make the mistake of taking for granted
that this diet is the secret of Jimmy SYRIA
cuse's health and strength. In the first
place, diet is only part Of the extraor-
dinary regime to which this child has been
sub iected since birth. In the second place,
strong hereditary tendencies may have
much to do with his physical superiority.
In the third place, even If this diet of raw
vegetables and nuts does agree with
Jimmy Syracuse and IL the chief reason
for his superior physical condition, it does
not necessarily follow that it would be the
ideal diet for all children. You must not,
| warn-you, try similar experiments on
your own baby-at least, not without con-
sulting your family physician, and even
then going at it very slowly
Little Jimmy Syracuse runs naked in
the coolest weather and eats raw vege-
tables, even including cucumbers. II you
tried this stunt on your own baby it might
turn cut 10 be another Jimmy Syracuse
but, on the other hand, it might die.
Mr.. and Mrs. Syracuse, proud parents
of the baby cave man, believe they have
discovered the ideal way to bring up a
child. They believe their child is strong
and healthy because they have gone back
to the laws of nature for their guidance.
