Health Week.

Washington is observing Health
week, and much counsel is being given
as to how to keep well and how to get
we'll Public advice from competent
advisers is valuable, and public dis
cussion of health seems to tend to do
good. It seems TO strengthen the will
of healthy persons to keep well, and to
give encouragement to sick. people and
to point out ways by which they may
get well. Good health is a great asset,
and nearly every man will rate 1t as
the most desirable asset a man can
have. While health of mankind is
much better than it used to be, and
human life is said by statisticians to
be lengthening, there is still a great
prevalence OF sickness in the world.
and authorities on disease say that
nearly all sickness is prerentable, and
that probably there is no incurable
malady if it is recognized on Its ap-
proach and combated in its early
stage.
One OF the days OF Health week was
called Mental Hygiene day. Mental
| hygiene is rather 4 late phase of
therapy-if that word is. used in 4
sense satisfactory to the doctors-but
the importance of it has come to be
recognized by men most learned in
ills of the body. Clean thinking and
clean living go together and promote
health, and when the body inclines 10
give way, or even does give way. some
wonderful force for good can be ap
piled by ones thoughts.
A generation or so ago men dep!ored
the unnatural conditions" under
which we had to live and despaired OF
the race. They felt that for all time
we had left behind us what they called
the free life Of our ancestors. Man was
being reduced to industrial slavery.
Occupational diseases were common.
Disease due to bad housing and work
change is coming over US. A man
makes a living by working 4 shorter
part of the day than in many genera
tions, and probably since our ancestors
| make the work-day shorter.
Men have become fastidious as to
conditions under which they work, and
employers are coming to compete
against one another in the luxury Of
their workshops. The open-air habit
is gaining. Never. in the history Of
| America, and perhaps Of some other
countries, is so large part Of the peo-
pie getting in the open" for recrea-
ton. It is said that men are thinking
more Of golf and motoring than Of
work Well, let them think SO. Intel
ligence and prosperity are advancing,
| and it must be that the general health
is getting better. At any rate, Health
week plays it's part in helping to make
the old world happier.

The Smith Boom in .Trnst.

Some Democrats who are favorable
to the nomination Of Gov. Alfred
Smith Of New York by the party con-
askance at the proposal to turn over
TO q syndicate the management Of his
boom, left vacant by the death of
Charles =. Murphy. Franklin D. Roose-
velt, cambridge Colby and Frank L.
Polk are suggested for this task. 1t is
not that three such able men as these
could not be depended upon to press
The candidacy for all it is worth. But
can combination work as effectively
as one man? This doubt is bred, with
out question, by the knowledge Of
what "CharIie" Murphy could do in a
convention. The late boss was a mas
ter hand at the manipulation Of COM
binations. His brother boss, Brennan
Of Chicago, is accredited with a warm
feeling for Smith. But Brennan is
national figure, with a larger contract
on his hands than the norina ion of a
mere "favorite son." To shS extent
that he regards Smith as the most
valuable party asset he will be helpful
10 those Of New York who want to
see the governor named in June. It is
q singular fact about practical politics
that one strong man who is vested
with boss powers is stronger than
group of men. "Al'' Smiths chances,
il is felt by many Of his friends who
sincerely want to see him nominated
st New York, would be stronger if
single manager were named for him.

Lower Wages or Receivership.

Frankly taking the operatives Of
the system in confidence, the head of
revenues are falling behind the ex-
penses and that curtailments must be
made somewhere to prevent a deficit
which would involve the probability OF
receivership. The only other way out
is TO increase the fares. and the com.
pany cannot do that, for the matter
rests with a public commission, which
has established a five-cent fare as the
unalterable standard Of transport cost
With a positively fixed rate Of rev.
enue and inescapable fixed charges,
the only possibility OF increased in
come is through increased patronage,
but in this case, according to the
statement given to the operatives, the

Doubtless surprise is felt by anybody
who has travelled on any Of the met

any falling off in traffic, for the cars
seem always to be crowded. But evil

Coolidge Foreign Policy Views
Stir Strong Praise and Censure

Editorial comment on Resident
Coolidge's speech to the Associated
Press in New York runs the long
ganut from highest praise to Sc
verest. condemnation. Praise and
criticism alike are divided between
the comments on foreign affairs and
domestic policies of the administra-
| tion as set forth by it's official head.
Friends and foes alike, however, re-
fer to the lack of attempts at ora
torical persuasion that might be
taken advantage OF by a less, COOL
tempered man.
In the speech, according to the In
dianapolis News independently, there
is a very pleasant lack of oratory."
The News declares, further, I'VE have

nation was a full dinner pail" and

Jumping into criticism Of the views

affairs. the Chicago Tribune Gnde-
pendent Republican, declares the
suggestion of the President that
France accept the Dawes report
probably the principal thing of i'm
port" in the address. HE also in
dorsed the Harding proposal to Con-
gress for adherence to the world
court" the Tribune continues.
Mr.. Coolidge inherited this plan. He
! gives the appearance of liking it.
It seems to be another instance in which
the hopes or men outrun their expert
ences. 1t is natural that hope always
| should, but it is an unwise dependence.
We like arbitration and the avoidance
OF violence, but do not have much faith
| in agreements made in a peaceful frame
of mind and tested in temper"
Interesting and varied viewpoints are
expressed by those newspapers whose
| policies seem to lean against American
isolation. In this respect the Grand
Rapids Press (independent) sees "the
really encouraging part Of the Coolidge
! speech" not in '.the distribution of
credit for the Dawes achievement, but
the apparent recognition that that
achievement is turning the administra-
