THE REAL MONUMENT MAKERS.

"In happy memory Of Charles Frohman'-
what a lovely phrase-"in happy memory
That's what they are going to put on the me-
mortal which is to stand in beautiful old Mar
low England, in remembrance Of Charles Froh-
man, who went out on his last great adventure
aboard the Lusitauia. And under this the lines
from Sapho: For it is not right that in house
where the Muses. haunt mourning should dwell; ;
Such things befit us not"
What lovely thing to be said of any one
after he has gone. In Happy memory-as il
tears might not fall in the presence Of so fine
a spirit and such happy recollections.
One wonders in what sort Of memory they
will hold u.s. after we have departed on the
last great adventure, whether happy or sad,
wistful or full of that contentment born of
the recollection Of life well lived and finely
left
Marble cutters chisel away all day at blocks
Of granite or stone which we call monuments
to the dead; but stone cutters make no monu-
ments. only markers to tell the names Of those
who have gone, with some fatuous words OF
usually artificial remembrance. The real mon
uments we build ourselves as we laboriously
add stone to stone to that pyramid, great OF
small, that We build with our lives.

CHILDREN OR CATS.

country lacking in children is always
overrun with cats, observes lie Petit Journal
in an editorial of regret, and the editor points
to the tens Of thousands Of cats in Paris that
testify to the truth of his observation The
Journal concludes that the affection bestowed
upon cats reveals the necessity of an outlet for
tenderness which should be given to children
instead.
Despite the various standing premiums and
pensions which are awarded families for in
creases in births, the French government faces
gradual decline Of its population. The larg-
est families are raised" in the agricultural re-
gions, and cats are raised in the cities.
Since the Journal concludes that there must
Be some outlet for affection, then it would
seem that solution open to the French gov
eminent would be to eliminate all cats -either
deport them or kill them-and also snakes,
blue-blooded lapp dogs and all other pets which
are used to cuddle. Then On the famous French
boulevards might be seen more perambulaters
than leash chains.

BACK TO THE SOIL IN RUSSIA.

We are told that there has been q genuine
ack-to-the-soil movement in Russia this year,
as result OF the sending Of American corn to
that famine stricken country. II this is true
we may feel that American charity has accom-
plished much bigger thing than simply the
saving Of the lives Of some thousands Of Rus
SLAMS. We are told by one of the supervisors
of American relief in famine stricken dis
trict that villages have grown up over night
in sections where only weeds were nourishing
formerly, built by the people returning from
the cities, whittier they fled in panic when the
famine came.
They have built themselves crude earth
houses, like the sod houses Of the American
pioneer. just enough to cover themselves while
they raced against the short Russian summer
to produce crop from the seed which Ameri-
ca provided. The arrival Of American corn not
only checked the flight of the people into the
already overcrowded cities and towns, but
started many people back to the country to
build themselves homes and farms again. This
is just what America hoped to accomplish by
the sending of corn to Russia

HOMICIDAL ART.

Fashion plate artists have been charged b.
fore the Psychotherapy society of Paris with
having caused the death of many young women
who undertook to starve themselves into the
hollov-chested, hipless, rarified and attenuated
creatures depicted by the artists az models Of
fashion. It ID really no fault Of the artists that
their pictures arc taken literally. The point
OF weakness. to Be severely truthful, consists Of
. vacuity meath the scented coiffures of the
Victims But It should be considered that they
are young. that the susceptible and esthetic
element Of the opposite sex conspires to make
fools Of them and that our Christian civilisa-
ton is somewhat devoted to the survival Of
the unfittest Moreover here Is the one chance
for Tillie, the cash girl and Ethel Of the ribbon
counter to put it over on the DAUGHTERS Of the
rich. For the sweated working girl to 60 With
out lunch is a godsend; for the candy-lovinx net
OF limousine and matinee it Is little less than a
crucifxion- In the true interests Of equality.
or perhaps Of the Emersonian principle Of COM
pensation.. the fashion-plate artist should be
undisturbed.

THE NEW LEGION COMMANDER

Choice Of Alvin M. Owsley, of Denton
Texas, as commander of the American Legion
to succeed Hanford McNider, of Mason City,
Iowa, whose term of one year expired at the
New Orleans convention seems to have been
a wise one If the new commander shows half
the determination and sincerity which has
characterized the gMcNider administration. the
legion will be well served during a pe7.ous
time
Commander Owsley was a colonel during
the war. Like Commander McNider he is a
small town" man, who has accomplished
big town" things. Unlike McNider, the new
commander has been military man all his dife,
having served as a student and amateur soldier
before the war began.
The legion is crusading and militant or
ganzation. Primarily, at this stage of its history
it is fighting for its members, whether wounded
Nider's administration was a success. The Iowa
man took his. job very seriously, and never let
his sense Of humor interfere with the erusading
spirit The new commander seems to be of the
life, has the crusading and missionary spirit II
would seem from his record, and an unuues-
toned patriotism, attested by his resignation
from I county attorneys job to become sol
der. His later resignation from an assistant
attorney generals job to become head Of the
legion's Americanization committee disclose.
his passion for the legion.

impartial board. Such an arrangement on their
part will tend to protect the public. It's OBJ
servance will free us from risk Of further
strikes as costly as last summers.
Industrial warfare has cost this nation more
lately than anybody gained from it. The two
giant strikes Of the past few months slowed up
industry and left armies Of producers idle In

failure of goods to arrive, they cost other sums
almost as great. Obviously this kind of thing
cannot continue indefinitely.
Secretary Davis Of the department OF labo,
doubts the efficiency of the railroad labor
board. But the railroad strikers, though they
defed its authority for while, have never
seriously questioned the impartiality OF its
judgments. Had both sides ,abided by its rul
ings during the first six months of the present
year, with such change as hearings might OBJ
