Secretary Hughes, in recent al
dress, said that what America needs
lust now is the cultivation of seren-
ity and the habits of reflection. lie
thinks the idea of excitement and OF
doing everything in q rush is not the
best thing for the country just now,
and is probably right. We are not
taking much time to live these days.
and the men, and women too, who
spend some time in thought and re-
Election, are becoming few, and the
time devoted toreal home life is be-
coming more and more limited. ASK
a dozen ordinary men how much time
they get to spend with their families,
around the home fires, and they viii
bemoan the fact that a hundred and
one things, aside from their business,
which takes all their time during the
day, calls them away from home IN
the evenings. 1t is all legitimate
work-committee meetings, clup
meetings., lodge meetings, etc., but
the combination, linked up with the
davis work. makes a slave of the ordi-
nary American man.

With all our boosted democracy, we
bar men of limited mean from higher
branches of the diplomatic service,
no matter how we'll qualified they
NAV be. The man who wishes to
represent the United States before the
British court, or in any other of the
greater nations, must be man of
considerable wealth, and must use
quite a little of that wealth while he
is on the job. 1t would seem that
wealth should not be considered,
either as qualifying or disqualifying
for the position of ambassador to a
foreign country.

Coach Mathews and the University |
Of Idaho football aggregation of 1928, |
made some history for Idaho yester-
day when Washington State College,
the ancient enemy on the grid ron,
was taken care of with considerable
ease and in an entirely sportsman
like manner. The coach and his
men are to be congratulated on the
results of their work SO far this seas
on. Just now all eyes are on the
Idhho team as the strongest and best
trained aggregation on the coast.
