better understanding abroad of this
country's enduring aims.
The American attitude, he said is
"one of independence, not of isolation"
Thus in a single phrase he exploded a
tallacy of which some Americans as
well as many Europeans, have tried to
make far too much. Europeans have
long entertained the belief that the
United States, because it would not
take sides in their troubles, is de-
termined to "draw up into its SHELF and
remain there deaf to all appeals, Just
or unjust. All that America purposes
to do in relation to the troubles of other
nations, Mr.. Hughes said, is TO reserve
freedom of action in the confidence of
Our ability and readiness to respond to
every future call of duty" The Ameri-
can people. he went on, "have no desire
to put their power TO pledge, but they
do not shirk cooperation with other ma
tons whenever there is a sound basis for
it and consciousness OF community OF
interest and aim Thus far since the
world war there has been no indication
of community of aim between the
United States and the quarreling nations
OF Europe; and the latter seem unable
to realize that in final analysis they have
vital interests in common which can be
served only through community OF aim.
Considered alone, Mr.. Hughes ad-
dress to the American Bar Association
should help to allay any feeling OF I'M
certainty on the part of American citi-
zens concerning this country's intcrna-
tional relations during the present ma
tional administration. Considered in
conjunction with President Coolidgc's
recent statement designed to reassure
business men who had feared that politi-
cal developments of the near future
might result in economic disruption, the
remarks of the secretary OF state should
produce highly wholesome effect upon
all interests.

AMERICAS POLICY RE-STATED

People who have been deploring the
American governments lack OF an in
ternational policy may not be satisfied
with the statement made by Secretary
Hughes before the American Bar Asso-
citation at Minneapolis because it con-
tains nothing new" But more con-
sentative citizens will be likely to accept
it as quite sufficient for all proper pur-
poses relating to this country's attitude
toward Europe and its troubles.
In reality it was reinstatement OF a
principle which some people under the
counsel of expediency. had all but lost
sight Of. Yet for those who have been
laboring under the handicap OF forget
fulness alone, without suffering from
the influence OF political partisanship OF
of selfish motives, Mr.. Hughes re-
marks ought to serve the purpose OF {
new pronouncement. He expressed al
old principle in the language of present
circumstances when he applied the spirit
of the Monroe Doctrine to the situation
which now confronts the United States
and his Interpretation of the doctrine il

THE EXACTIONs OF TINE.

In a town where l did visit,
Some little time ago;
I was standing round the corner.
As my friends came round it so.
Here ! greeted Tom and Jack, and
Little Angel May;
That was what we called her,
When her hair hung down her should
err so and so
Times have sort o. changed since then,
We to each other did remark
For life her toll doth duly exact.
Fen though we too have kept tie
track.
But the track meanders here and
there.
And deviates where Ger we are;
SO will it be as time shall last,
Well cling to life, and times long.

The changes wrought in body and
mind.
Are proof we yield to the passing OF
time;
May those changes bring a superior
hue,
Is my earnest wish for you and

of thousand of those .owhs. You'd
need two or three men to run the
,aunch-I believe the usual crew is Il
pilot, a first and second engineer, and
a cOok-and you'd have 20 have
seamstress to do fitting and make
minor alterations. Then you'd start
up for Bering Sea.
4. You. may not. know 1t, but along
the coast OF Alaska, and throughout
the islands OF Boring Sea there are
hundreds of little, scattered tribes of
indians, all OF them trappers of the
finest, high-priced furs. Nor do their
women dress in furs and skins alto
gether, either, as popular legend
would have you believe. Thought
their hot, long summer days they
wear dresses like American women,
and the gayer the prettier the dress
cs, the better they like 'cm. To my
knowledge, no one has ever fed them
silk--simply because silk was too
high-but being women, red or white,
they'd simply so crazy over 1t.
The other factor in the -combina-
ton IS that the Intrepid, due to the
uuStllltu luI maj " w
any extensive buying on her last an
nual trading trip through the islands,
and as u result practically al the
Indians have their full catch on
hand. The Intrepid is the only
trader through the particular chain
of islands l have in mind-the Sko-
pin group, north ard east of the
Aleutian chain-.nd she's not count
ing on going up again till spring.
Then she'll reap rich harvest-un-
less you get there first.
THE Skopin Islands are charted-
any that are inhabited at all-easy
to find, easy to get to with sea-
worthy launch. Every one of those
Indian you'll find thcro will buy
dress for his squaw OR lis daughter
to. show. off in, during the summer.
and pay for it with a fine piece of
fur.
"This is. August. I'm already ar
ranging for n license. You'd have
to get going in week. Hit as far
north as you want-the farther you
so the better you will do-and then
worth south. Making big chain
that cuts off the currents and the
tides, the E.opin group is surround
ed by an unorokcn ice sheet in mid
winter. so you have to count on
rounding the Aleutian Peninsula into
Pacific waters some time in November.
If you wait much longer you're apt
not to get out before spring.
"That's the whole story. The car
go of furs you should bring out
should be worth close to hundred
thousand. Expenses won't be fifteen
thousands in all. 1t would mean
work: dealing with bunch of crafty
redskins isn't play of boys! Maybe
there'd he cold and rough weather,
for Bcring Sea deserves no mans
trust. But it would be the finest
sport in the world, an opportunity to
take Alaskan bear and tundra carl
bou-plcnty of adventure and excite
ment and tremendous profits to boot.
1t would be mans job, Ned-but
you'd get kick out Of it you never
got out of booze party in your life.
And we split the profits 75-25--the
lions share to you"

A CORN-MUFFIN PRESIDENT

Traits purporting to qualify President
Coolidge for the big job OF being chief
executive of the greatest nation on earth
have received considerable attention.
He has been characterized as a fearless
man and one with keen sense of duty.
Non-politically speaking, he seems to be
satisfactory to the American people as
a whole. But there is one class OF citi-
zcns to whom President Coolidge will
doubtless be grievous disappointment
From the standpoint of those who think
that the Presidents most important iunc-
ton is to confirm their own gustatory
tastes, and give them world of free
publicity by accepting delicac;es sent to
him by admiring friends, Mr.. Coolidge
is distinctly out OF place in the White
House.
For the new chief executive, it is
reported on "the best of authority" is a
man of plain diet This authority is
the chef of the hotel at which President
Coolidge lived before he moved into the
White House.

would have the honor pf bearing

President Taft was known as a Hearty

into Georgia upon one occasion. and
it followed him out-"only olore So on

upon Georgia soil before somebody gave
him 'possum. Georgia 'possums are
reputed to be superlatively delectablc-
particularly when served with, Geocgir

ford to reject the hospitality thus prof
Ifered him. But hrs return to Washington
was the signal for a roundup of nearly
all the 'possums of Georgia for presi-
dental consumption.

A HIATUS IN EDUCATION

This is supposed to be an age OF
Surprising enlightenment. Theoretically
the su2position is tr,le. The world Of
today has. more information. more
knowledge, than was possessed by the
world C. Yesterday But bow about the
individual? Docs he have as much
knowledge concerning affairs vital 10 his
physical welfare and that OF lis kind,
in proportion to the requirements Ct the
complex conditions III which he lives, as
did the average intelligent person in
primitive times:
In recent address before the Ameri-
car Legion a San Antonio physician
made the following assertion:
an matters pertaining to health, the
average citizen is as ignorant as were
the savages who roamed the plains Of
Texas when Columbus discovered
America
To many people that may be 4 start
ling statement to others it may sound
like the ranting OF monomaniac. Some
people need to be startled out of their
complacence, and out of what might be
called age-egotism-the egotism which
assumes that ignorance belongs exclu-
sively 10 the past and that one has but
to live in the present to be wise. Those
who would pass the doctors assertion
as unworthy of intelligent consideration
ought to be charitable enough to read
bit further to see il they couldn't find
IN opening for ministering to his needs.
For example:
"The savage did not have TO face the
problems that the civilized man has to
face. He depended for relief of his ply
seal and mental ills upon the ministra-
tons OF the Indian medicine man VINO
chased away the devils OF disease and
worry by weird music, incantations,
charms and amulets. This medicine man
was psycho-thcrap:st, wl1o, in addition
possessed q knowledge OF preventive
medicine necessary to meet the simple
needs OF his people
The Indian medicine mans people
had reason to be satisfied with him.
But. the physician of the present ask;
what IS to be said Of the educated
and otherwise intelligent" men anC
women Of today. many of them leader!
OF public opinion and incumbents 0
high positions. who are initiating agains
medical science and are aiding ard a6ct
Ting tIicksters in the art OF exploiting III
credulity of the ailing?
1t is true that many otherwise cdu
Gated and intelligent" people of toda
refuse to accept the most successi,
methods that science has evolve
through the ages for the prevention c
diseases that formerly ravagcl entir
nations. What does the average schoc
boy learn about health--about tn
causes of common maladies and tn
methods of preventing them? He learr
merely smattering of physiology; h
comes to regard the human body as
queer mechanism but he does not lear
so to speak-how to keep sand out
the gear boxes, or just what damage Il
sand will do.
When he grows UP he hears mar
theories, and is ready TO believe almo
any of them. So-and-so recommen

AN ANCIENT COURT OF JUSTICE

Those who look Tor precedents be-
lore passing judgment on proposed new
governmental institutions might find 1t
profitable to study Roman history as
means OF testing the plausibllity OF the
idea that the Court of international lus-
tice would be competent to govern in
ternaticnal relations OF the present and
future. Certainly the proponents OF This
modern project will not exhaust their
opportunities if they do not draw upon
the annals of the ancient Romans in their
efforts to promote it.
In the popular conception of ancient
Rome certain spcctacles Oft of harmony
with democratic government are most
prominent. They a.e spectacles in which
iron-willed emperors, seeking to exploit
whomsocvcr they may. stand out against
background of military pomp; or in
which richly robed figures engage in
elaborate carousals at the expense OF
a poor populace; or in which Christians
arc dragged from the Catacombs and
thrown to the lions-a conception which
finds climax in the tabled fiddllng OF
Nero while Rome burned.
But back of all such scenes. and i'll
profound contrast with them, there was
a force which deserves prime considera-
ton in any study OF the Eternal City.
The old Roman Empire fell into decay
from economic ailments. But there was
4 tinc-a long time-when Rome was
The worlds greatest source. in fact per-
haps its only definite source, of govern
mental justice.
The Roman Senate OF that time was
animated by a spirit that an observer
of modern politics might think has per-
ished from the earth. Its members were
statesmen apparently obsessed by sim
gle ambition-namcly, to administer JUS
tice to all over whom the Roman gov
crnmcnt had jurisdiction. And because
the Senate was highly successful in that
undertaking. such jurisdiction was great
| ly extended. In some instances, OF
course, it was extended by physical
compulsion; but that came most largely
during and after the waning OF the spirit
referred to.
Other peoples voluntarily came under
the control of the Roman law-givers.
They realized that the Senate was pre-
eminent in the philosophy OF govern
ment.
Thus did the Roman Senate become
court OF international justice. Thus
were disputes among non-Romans, as
well as among the Romans, themselves,
arbitrated and settled. And the dsputants
were disposed to accept the Senatc's de-
cisions as final, because they had conf
dence in its sense OF justice and in its
will to do justice; that confidence was
grounded upon actual achievements OF
the arbiters
The first prerequisite of justice Is
sincerity Ii the Court of international
Justice was conceived in a sincere de.
sire to establish enduring peace, and il
its first activities should be such as tt
impress the world with its sincerity
toward that end, then succeeding achieve
ments in the settling OF international
disputes could logically be expected t.
result eventually in the development o
a universal attitude similar to that which
describes the relations between thu
ancient Roman Senate and the people
who regarded its decisions as the closes
possible approach to justice on earth.
