AN INTERESTING FIGURE.

Coue, the French pharmacist, who
has made an appeal to the imagina-
ton of many people by his theory of
mental healing, has arrived in the
overcome by the importance that was
attached to his arrival, and he
claimed to possess any mysterious
power that would cure the world of
all disease. 1t is because of this
admirable attitude that more heed
will be given to him and his theory
than might be the case were he to
pose as the one man in the world
able to accomplish wonders.
"Self-mastery, through conscious
auto-suggestion, is the full limit of
my message" he says, adding, land
there is no mystery attached to it or
to myself"
Great claims have been made for
certain well-known medicines which
have proven their value satisfactorily.
Most of such cures have not done
all that their sponsors have, at times.
claimed for them, but they are in
constant use in the world and are
bringing relief from sickness and suf-
fering daily. 1t is quite possible that
a man who has studied mans power
over himself, and has found it to be
great under certain circumstances,
might honestly believe that man,
through convincing himself that he
could do certain things, would be able
to do those things. He might hon
estly extend his theory farther than
the facts warrant. Nevertheless if he
is able to convince people that their
success, happiness and, to a certain !
extent their health, lies in their own |
hands, that man has done some good |
in the world even though man cannot, |
through auto-suggestion. accomplish
all that his teacher believes he can do.
The world has not reached the end |

,e discovered. 1t Is only the stub

The Paris conference has "broker

tary OF State Hughes expected would
happen when he delivered his sig
nlfieant speech at New Haven

ment would be reached. But his
speech dealt chiefly with what might
be done II and when the breakup
came. Tho United States was more
than willing 10 take tho lead In
adjusting matters II there was any
indication that the United States was
wanted in that capacity.
There Is n resolution In the Senate
providing for American representa-
tion on the reparations commission.
Senator Lodge has assured Senator
Robinson. its sponsor. that II will be
brought up. This resolution, like the
proposed amendment OF Senator
Borah providing for an economic
conference, may bring action as did
the proposal OF the Idaho Senator.
The latter's move brought only the
information that the administration
had certain plans; Secretary Hughes
disclosed those plans to certain
extent. The presentation of the reso-
luton of Senator Robinson should
bring definite promise of action.
The thought of France going ahead
alone to enforce payment from Ger
many by taking what she can lay her
hands on is not reassuring. Germany,
losing what France would take, would
lose her credit completely; France
would lose all chance of getting more
from Germany than what she could
seize-which would not begin to pay
what is due her. This would impair
Frances credit eventually, for she

drastic action. England would suf-
fer-and then, in this situation, the
United States would find that the
European situation was very i'm
portant matter to her. More delays
may mean more serious breaks. For
the United States to hold back from
offering her plan of expert investiga-
ton and discussion because she has
mot been invited" would be quite
like ones refusing an invitation to
dinner because it came over the tele-
phone and not through the mails on i
properly engraved stationery. The !
United States is more than invited
Europe is eager to have her help.

Everybody takes shot at the
garbage man. Forty-two OF those

ing to the health department Of the
laxity shown. Often there seems to be
no reason for the laxity complained
of. 1t may be a hard job and an I'M
pleasant job. But 1t is a job that
has to be done and the only way out
of it is to have the city take hold
of the garbage collection.
Few are optimistic enough to be-
lieve that city workers would be in
clined to do the work better than
private NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. own
ership and municipal management of
such things often is a failure. But
many people are cynical enough to be-
lieve that city officers charged with
the duty of seeing that the garbage
was collected promptly would be in
terested enough in making good
record in Office, with an eye to the
future, to keep the men who did the
actual labor of making garbage col
lections up to the mark. The city must
come to it in time. The plan might |
