Fearless. With MaehIne Guns

Lord Lytton, governor general of Bengal, speaking on the agitation in the country and the threats of nationalist risings, said in a speech: We are quite strong enough to deal with the revolutionary menace, and we shall not shrink from using fearlessly and unhesi- tatingly all weapons necessary for its defeat. The menace of rebellion is spreading over the whole Indian empire. Bengal hitherto has been somewhat the exception. There the op- position to Britain took the form of a re- nassiance in art and culture, of which the Ia gore school of poetry and philosophy is the highest expression. People were trying to seek solRce against :'the humiliation of sub jugation" in a turning toward higher learn ing and science. But the thought of foreign dominion is not easily forgotten in highly sensitive and proud people. The higher castes in India are anxiously awaiting word from Britain. They want to avoid bloodshed, but they also want a greater measure of auton- omy. The threat of fearless and unhesita- ting use of all weapons" has not worked much good TSey expect Ramsay Macdonald to say something on the subject to reassure them. Of course, machine guns and bombing planes can easily pacify the natives. But the Hindu leaders point out that this is not the way of civilization. They are right in that.

GENIUS is a 'IIu superior 2. hum.n yn..i;.-'
By DR. ERANK CRANE

A GENIUS Is superior human machine A lie gets great deal of praise and
 reward, but in truth he deserves uo credit, for his best work is automatic. ~ Nothing is more mechanical than oriei. nality. T,'
 For the brilliant ideas are never produced by tireseme effort; they pop up out of the subconsciousness without any prompting from us aiA a*
 Note your own bright inventions. Ton have been thinking over a matter for days, until perhaps you have given it up and put 1t aside in despair; and then suddenly, apropos of nothing at aHs while you are boarding a street car or getting your shoes shined, click !---veu have it!-the solution flashes fulI-b0fn into your mind.
 You may say it 1jast came" to you. Bet ter, it just came out of you. For after your conscious intelligence hnd chewed and chewed upon 1t, you swallowed it, so to speak, and it passed down intotyohr subeonscious intelIi- gence, then was digested and prepared, and when perfected suddenly reappeared in yoilr consciousness, after the manner of Tuminants
 A genius is person who is endowed with. a powerful suhconscious mill for, grinding out ideas.
 He does not necessarily have q trained mind; he must have-I wonderful subsmird.

 The lawyer genius penetfates at once into the gist of case, Study md experience may help him, but nothing can take the place of that inward nature-born sharpness of vision
 The literary genius is one to whom tie right word comedy the priest genius is the one with the X-ray of ethical sympathy, the artist genius is the worker whose subcon. scious soul grasps the truth of beauty with unerring taste.
 That is why no genius can explain himself Michael Angelo or Conan Doyle or -Paderew- ski cannot tell how he does it. He doesn't t know. The great things he does are noncon. sciOus. 70
 There is ground for believing that there is as much difference between the genius and the common man as there is between man and the animals.
 Kant says; "The greatest discoveEer in the sphere of science differs only in degree from the ordinary man; the genius on Jhe ether hand, differs specifieaIlsss'

PUBLICITY AS TO MILK

There is nothing more convincing than proper publicity. So, there is merit in the plan of the health department, begin ming next Sunday, to publish the list of accredited dairymen; that is, the list of those dairymen who are complying with the regulations and are supplying the people of this city with clean milk. Ac- cording to the milk inspector, ninety per cent. of the dairymen entering Birming- ham are heartily cooperating with the health department, and are obeying the sanitary regulations. The ten per cent: who are not doing so certainly have little to recommend them to customers. House. holders may discover with little effort whether the milk supplied them has re-

Olxmnlo Games noomsd1

The London Times correspondent in Paris foresees the doom of the Olympic games on account of the many disgraceful incidents which occurred in the different competitive events between the nations. Mallin, the Eng fish middleweight boxing champion, was se- verely bitten in the chest by the Frenehman Brousse. The American football team was hooted and jeered by huge French audience. The French and Italians had a heated row over the fencing contest. One juror, Hun garian named Kovaes, was slapped in the face by the Italian, Chevalier Pulitti, famous maitre darmes from Rome. Even after the games the bitterness continued. Hungarian fencers on their return to their country were met at the station of Turin by Italian fenc- CTS. One of the Italians struck a Hungarian violently in the face. The English writer in the Times thinks the world is not yet ripe for a brotherhood of sport. The incidents, though deplorable, should not bar the games in future. Times are changing and so are sem timents. The sudden anger of contestants, their immediate challenges to fight and shed blood are but outcome of the general war hysteria, which gave rise to an artificial hatred and a quick suspicion of foreigners, unknown before the conflict. The more people of different countries see of each other, the less we will have of these disgraceful inter national incidents.

Watching The Parade
By JOHN PILGRIM

0UT at the tag end of our village is a little store It's apt to be dark of nights ~> and it is never open Sunday, and the nroprietor never bothers to catch the early worm. I sometimes think that the only req son he runs store at all is that he likes the occasional contact with people. Between times he reads books or goes fishing.
 "Did you see what that big man in labor circles said?" he asked me this morning That true happiness would never come to this world until labor is the dominant power!"
 [ said that I had indeed seen this state ment
 What fool,' said my old friend the grocer. He talks as though the fact that a man works with his hands makes him wise and strong and generous. The fact Is, said my old friend the grocer, there never has been a class fit to be wholly entrusted with mower. We are saved from each other by the constant friction with each other"
 The old grocer seemed excited by the mem ory of the labor leaders talk. He asked me why he should be asked to submit to the judgment of Tim Perkins, merely because Tim won hard living with pick and shovel and 1 could not answer him.
 That was the talk of a demagogue," he soid. angrily. "The man who made that statement sees vision of an oligarchy, in which he and a few others will rule the rest of us through the minimizing support of or ganized labor. He should read his news, papers. He should digest the figures shown ill recent elections Then he would know that while the sort of man who has the sort oi mental equipment that permits him' to go Bolshevist would look forward cheerily to A future in which he would be mere pawn showed about by czars, the rest of us would not"
 He would have said a lot more but the fish began to bite. Before the sun had grown hot he had forgotten his sorrows

The Right Word
THE SUBJECT IS PLURAL
By w. CURTIS NICHOLSON
(Find the Error in This ArticIe)

Norma Bunting of Hamilton, O., writes as follows:
 Please I stand so sorely in need of en- lightenment! A number of friends and l were discussing sorrow, and I made the casual comment, For the lack of a cross is more often a loss-which is something not all of us know
 "And some quirk of subconsciousness walk ened me at two-thirty A. M. to wonder the remainder of the night whether the closing verb know had been incorrectly used. It had as it's subject a plural noun all-or am I mistaken? Should the word have been knows?
 T know it is ridiculously simple, but have become so involved in reasoning 1t out that haven't enough mentality left to dia- gram or parse the wretched sentence cor rectly.''
 "All of uso is plural. Therefore, know is correct. Write, which is something we do not all know"
 Another Good Showing
 George Johnson of Cincinnati, O., writes as follows:
 "Let me tell you that your column still commands my attention. look for 1t each day and find it most helpful. A little secret haven't spent a day in school since was ten years old, but your latest test seems quite easy. Stlll may pc IoOIeu us HaFe aA"oSs managed, or mismanaged, to have one wrong in each test, so far Now for 100 per cent"
 If Mir. Johnson has had only one wrong in each test, he has made an excellent show ing. Unfortunately he wrote the 18th sen tence as follows: 'He asked Jim and to accompany him." Me is correct, similar tc 'He asked me to accompany him." Better luck next time.

 0 skillful surgeon with the velvet touch, To give them back the glories that they knew
 To die, merely to die that is not much The hopeless ones count Death as only kind But to live on and on through helpless years An, here is haunting horror for the mind And you-you give them hope, you calm their fears Oh, blessed years of study that you gave, Oh, youthful pleasures that you would not take The stricken. wistful ones whom you can save
 Bless your young sacrifices for their sake For them, your skillful hand and learned brain Bring back the Age of Miracles again!

Smashed PInons Caused War

If the story, told by Professor Fay before an assembly of economists, is true that the officers of the general staff smashed the tele- phone instrument on the morning of July %, 1914, to prevent the czar from counter manding the order for Russia mobilization, because they wanted war with Germany, we can say nothing else than that they got all the war they wanted. It appears that the czar wanted to stop the mobilization when he re- ceived almost hourly telegrams from Kaiser Wilhelm urging moderation on Austria. Hardly any of the war lords of Russia are alive today. The others live in exile. Most of them perished in the revolutions which their mismanagement and militarist conceit pro- voked They thought to stop the tide of ris- ing liberal thought in Russia by plunging the country in a foreign war They miscalculated. For instead they loosened forces which went beyond all control, even of the democratic leaders, whom they wanted to forestall. A tide of terror, massacre and horror was loos. .ened-smashed all bounds. That tide is only now, after ten years, slowly beginning to re- cede.
