PUTTING 1T ON THICK


II there is thing that less than another in
the lives OF this celebrated human it is supera-
tive. Few among have achieved obscurity in
which not the youngest the oldest, prettest,
tallest or smallest something other somewhere.
few months ago Omaha picked her prettiest girl
to represent her out of town, yet today are in
formed that another lass Of astonishing beauty has
materialized and been designated Miss Omaha for
reason not mentioned Co-incidentally, ap-
prsed Of the Identities of the pretest girl in Montreal
the farest actress in Sweden and the lady whose teeth
reputed to be the oveliest in all Paris, with no
assurance however, that next month will produce
another and superior person in each class.
1t is an historic fact that dies only once, yet
the oldest inhabtant in Tennessee has died several
times recently And it a recognized truth that every
captured still of imposing size becomes automatically
the largest confscated The original Little Eva
died again week ago, and and then we learn
off more. The last veteran of Scott's Mexican
expedition periodically passes and the sole
of the Custor massacre gives up the ghost.
It is pretty custom, and harmless, because people
accustomed to superlatives carelessly place no
great store in their accuracy It is merely suggested
that all the prettiest girls in America convene from
time to time to pick the prettiest girl among them
selves, that all original something and oldest
inhabitants and youngest congressman and tniest mdg
when their leader is mentioned in the prints he
may be referred to the prettiest girl in Oshkosh
the oldest Oldest Indian in Arizona. That will help.

IGNORING THE CAUSE

lONOklNG HE CAOSE-
Supporters of the League of Nations falacy still re-
main silent the Sphinx in all known languages in
placing the blame for present conditions in Europe
where belongs-at the door of political greed and
grasping diplomacy. Their attempt to make it appear
that Americas refusal enter into old world political
squabbles brought the present chaotic condition
over there is on par with the logic of all their
arguments in favor of the gigantic scheme of world
militarism.
Let the Turk follow his bent in playing fast and
lose with his commitments let European nations mock
justice, they please, in their dealings with each
other and these eaguers apparently no wrong
The blame lies only at Americas door. Apparently
these European politics and diplomacy would have
changed in the twinkng of eye-and all would have
been fair and honest and unseish.
It is the old falacy of assuming that sound APP
pie in barrel Of rotten make them whole
some.
1t is significant that already nations which did join
the league raising questions about article ten,
storm-center of Americas opposition to the whole
scheme This is the provision of the covenant which
sets up super military state by pedging all members
to protect the political and territorial integrity of
every other member. Several nations want to know
to what extent this binds their freedom of action.
Canada calls for elimination of the article The leagues
impotence in present European affairs has forever
swered those who contended that it not dead.

THE TAXPAYER PAYS

With the public loudly demanding reduction in
government expenditures and lower taxes, people ap-
pear to be overlooking this very important truth
the government have the greater its cost will
be. There a time when it axiom that the
government which governed least governed best. Nov
we appear to be running : the other extreme; the
more government does and the more it costs, the
better it is. Nor does there appear to be any end
to the program. We multiply inspectors, and super
vsors, special agents, and departments and officials
and bureaus, and commissions-and get dissatis-
faction, waste and higher taxes.
We may well realize that the only way we can
make the government economical is take it out of
business. We cannot have paternal, benevolent
philanhropc. interfering regulatory, meddng federal
or state government without paying for it by burden
some taxation. OF course part of this great cost il
due to waste and extravagance-as for instance the
81 contributed by the taxpayers for
ment control Of the raroads-but this very fact fur
nshes another argument against further paternaism
government, since every function affords op-
portunity for added waste and extrvagance.
And SO long politics determine government as 1t
does in this country there is possible way whereby
government can be made economical by efficiency.
We cannot prune down; must sever government
completely from all lines Of activity which are not
set down absolutely essential by the constitution

CONSTITUTIONS

There pending before congress II measures pur-
posing to amend the constitution. OF these % are
under consideration in the senate judiciary committee
Supporting these strong obbies working in every
possible way favorable action. Conservative
members of both the senate and the house are con-
siderably alarmed lest of those measures be
favorably reported and acted upon.
Of all these amendments there is only one, offered
by Senator Wadsworth Of New York, which appears
to commend itself to serious consideration both in
congress and out. The purpose of the Wadsworth
amendment is to make amendment of the constitution
more difficult through correction of the processes of
amendment. When it is taken into consideration that
the eighteenth and nineteenth amendments rati
fed in that resulted in widespread dissatis-
faction, principally because the method employed may
may not have expressed the will of the people, it
be advisable that future amendments proposed
by be ratified by legislatures by conventions
whose members chosen after amendments are pre-
sented by congress. This is the Wadsworth idea and
its appeal lies largely in the provision for expression
of popular approval dsapproval.
OF course, it has to be taken into consideration
that at time do all the voters of the country go
the polls In the last presidential election the the total
vote cast but threefhs of the voting strength of
the country, voters included In the
vote between SO and 60 percent. Yet failure to
vote notwithstanding opportunity to vote on amend
ments, directly indirectly must silence criticism of
method and dissatisfaction with results.

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE

Strategists of the Democratic party say that the
tariff will be issue in the next presidential election
If So it will be issue against that party For nearly
two the nation has been under protective tariff

progress toward prosperity has been markedly &C.
celebrated.
That its recovery from the economic depression of
the preceding Democratic administration largely at
trbuted to the stimulative and nourshng benefits OF
the tariff is proved by the facts of the That the
protective tariff has failed to produce of the bad
effects prophesied by its partisan opponents is clearly
apparent.
The American people can see the helpful working
Of the tariff schedules for themselves and to put them
in issue would be to propose choice between method
OF prompting prosperity that has proved successful and
its rejection for the benefit of party that was so
largely responsible for the late depression. With such
choice before the American voters the overwhelming
majority can be counted on to support protective
tariff.

RED CROSS IN PEACE

Everybody has read of instances in which American

distress in foreign land. Word now from
Europe that in such instances the American Red Cross
Is rendering splendid service. This organization is
continuing many Of its chapters in Europe, and they

There are still many stranded Americans abroad.

NEITHER ANY GOOD

We. abhor carping criticism of
public men but there is much in the
conduct of the modern congress on
big and little things to justify a
growing faith in the proposition that

lawmakers. need a rest-anythinR

credit Of the government itself was
only saved by the narrowest of
margins is still fresh in the minds
of men who passed through it.
Since that time the Democratic
donkey has not changed its views
on the tariff or upon any other
public question but business men
are hoping for the best trusting
that with the narrow Democratic
majority in the senate, it will be
impossible for a Democratic ad-
ministration to again annihilate the
industries of the country.
