COLLEGE MILITARISM.

An issue has arisen between the War De-
partment and large group of educators and
public men, regarding military training in
schools and colleges. The policy of en-
couraging such training in the educational in
stitutions, which was favored or at least
tolerated during and Immediately after the
war, is now seriously questioned.
The War Department continues to stand
''squarely in favor of military training for the
greatest possible number of students, con-
sidering available personnel, funds and equip
ment"
The opposition has come out with declara-
ton which not only urges pacifsm but urges
the claims of education itself. Colleges and
universities" it says fare peculiarly inappro-
pirate fields for military training and for the
intrusive presence of military bureaucracy"
This language is, perhaps, needlessly Of
fensive. There isn't much military bureau
Icracy' in America, nor much chance of it.
Nevertheless there is much to be said for the
point of view indicated.
College boys have enough difficulty keep
ing their minds on their academic studies as
matters stand, with the distractions Of ath-
letics and social life Military work, in insti-
tutions that are not specifically conducted as
military schools, may add unnecessarily to
those distractions.

ROUGE FOR MEN.

Attention, men! The news from Paris is
| just too arresting for anything.
Men there are following the women's lead.
Paris men always did follow women, anyway,
but here is something really new, at least in
modern times. Males in Egypt and Babylon
used to do it, if tombstone art tells the truth.
But now-don't be impatient, old dears We're
getting around to the point.
The men are using rouge. Also lipsticks.
Also powder puffs, hair paste and special
paste for the eyebrows. Us that anything to
swear about0
Powder was always used by many men,,
say the latest advices, "but the powder puff
is becoming more and more popular every day
among the male sex" say the beauty BARRIERS.
[Now, for Heavens sake, keep still minute
till we tell you the restD
"The ahealthful, red-brown, wind complexion
SO popular at the present moment is nothing
more than skilfuly applied rouge and powder.
The men are becoming as clever as the women
with their cosmetics, which, after all, is mere
ly matter of practice"
And now, old dears, you can go around be-
hind the garage and say anything you want to.

KNOW YOUR COUNTY.

Kenosha county and all its residents owe q
debt of gratitude to Otis L, Trenary for the
exceptionally good work which he has done
in the preparation Of booklet issued by the
county board of supervisors to commemorate
the building of the new courthouse The book
is one which not only shows the splendid spirit
and work Of the pioneers of Kenosha county
but also shows the spirit of progress which is
guiding their descendants. It is prepared in
a most orderly and scholarly way and speaks
it's own Worthiness.
The booklet, which will soon be distributed
throughout the county, is one which should in
terest all people of .Kenosha county. It brings
with it the privilege of reading of the early
history of this community and with that the
duty of learning something about the county.
All persons of the county should consider it a
high privilege to read this book and know
more about Kenosha and Kenosha county.

Students of the University of Wis
consin, checking over the records of
Milwaukee county courts, find that 80
per cent of offenders who are placed
on probation redeem themselves.
That is remarkable showing. But
lest others be moved to adopt this
plan without further consideration,
there should be explanation. Proba-
ton succeeds here because Milwau-
kee is remarkably free from organ
lied crime. These probationers who
make good" are incidental offenders.
When a member of the fraternity"
comes here and is caught, he gets no
consideration. The man or woman
who comes in conflict with the law
through a misstep may be a fit sub
ject for probation; the professional
criminal never is. His vicious, lazy
and cruel nature would not respond.
He would merely regard his freedom
as ore way to beat the law--as he re-

pulling and never-ending delays

types are criminals, but it is neces-
sary to recognize the difference

THOUSAND OF LAWS.

The number of new laws enacted by state
legislatures in 1926 reaches the sad and ludic-
rous total of 1900. The legislature of North
Carolina is responsible for 1,173 of these. A
few other states ran up close to 1000 apiece.
And now the national Congress is assembled to
do it's bit.
It seems obvious that 1900 new laws are
too many for one year. 1t is doubtful whether
all of these laws will become effective or
whether more than few Of them will at all
increase the efficiency of the states or the
health and happiness of the citizens concerned.
The crime wave can not, of course, be at
tributed wholly or even largely to single
cause. But it is likely that the multiplicity
of laws coming almost all the time from the
legal hoppers of city councils state legislatures
and the federal Congress must confuse rather
than simplify the duties and rights of honest
citizens and present greater opportunities for
mischief to deliberate aw-breakers.

ROweH Says
By. CHESTER H. RoWELL.

It pays to advertise. Secretary
Hoover says that the American people
spend ten dollars on cosmetics to one
on scientific research. Naturally.
Science does not advertise.
Cosmetics were driven into the adj
vertising field by a peculiar circum-
stance. Medical advertising got so
bad that the better magazines cut it
out entirely, and the newspapers, if
they did not all refuse it, put it under
increasingly stringent limitations. The
medicine business had consisted very
incidentally of formulas and factories
to manufacture them. 1t had consisted
almost entirely of advertising.
1t was easy to scrap the laboratories
and sales organizations But the adj
vertising departments had to find a
job. So they began demanding, "just
what do you mean by medicine, ?? If
the answer was anything remedial
that goes inside they promptly
started something that went outside.
Hence the food of cosmetics.
The vogue of the movie actresses
helped. If the movie queen had to
makeup, to photograph correctly, her
imitator did the same thing, in the
revealing light of day. So everybody
bought something to make her beau
tiful. And it costs ten times more
than the entire investment in human
progress.

FOR SPEED

Now comes the president of the Pere
Marquette to predict that railroads of
the not-so-distant future will move as
fast as airplanes and more safely.
Concrete ways reinforced with steel
beams will criss-cross over the country,
he says, and trains will run on roller
bearings at incredible speeds. And
twill all be safe.
Sounds interesting and not as inn
probable as you might think. This
nation has way Of overcoming
almost any kind of obstacle to OBJ
tain speed.

HIGH FINANCE

George ]. Gould lost $4,5OO,O0O in
his railroad manipulations, according
to the testimony of his son in New
York recently.
Probably there we're good reasons
why ne lost it. But it strikes the
casual observer that there was ore
"king of finance" who was mis-
named. 1t hardly seems as if
king of finance, even second-rate
king, ought to lose quite that much at
one fell swoop.

influence that will be felt. Chicago,
backed by barrel" is putting forth
every effort and has it's forces we'll
organized and no time is to be wasted
by opponents of the steal if it is to
be circumvented.
Personally, we doubt the success of
the proposed plan of the league for a
congressional committee to visit the
lakes to investigate. Politics would
naturally play part in the organiza-
tion of such committee and the in
vestigation would be too far removed
from congress to accomplish much.
Not only that, but it would cause long
delay in action with no assurance of
results in defeating the Chicago move
The presence of an organized force
at Washington to be in touch with
the tactics employed by Chicago and
watchful of the situation, would, we
believe, be more to the purpose.
The facts in the controversy, the alb
solute injury to lake shipping and
lake ports, the responsibility of the
Chicago Sanitary District withdrawal
of water is matter of record with

these facts, has twice issued an order

With this backing and with the sup.
port of the Traffic league organiza'

which is made up of interested lake
ports, there should be a systematic
presentation to congress itself, not t.
a committee which politics might di
vide upon the issue.
One thing is paramount, however
The Traffic league organization must
get busy at once and must cooperate
with the Lakes Harbor association
which had its birth in this city which
has proved to be the real MOVING spirit
in the fight that has thus far been car

] HOW GREAT MEN : 3 MAKE LOVE
 AS REVEALED BY THEIR LOVE LETTERS
 By JOSEPH KAYE {
HENRY GEORGE AND
 ANNIE FOX
By JOSEPH KAYE

IF EVER a man knew what the very 4 dregs of poverty were that man was Henry George, the founder of the sin gle tax. To what depths a man so in- tellectual and gifted as George was could be driven can be seen from the following entry in his diary, made at time when he was living in San Fran cisco trying to make a living through printing jobs, and when his second child had just been born:
 "I walked along the street and made up my mind to get money from the first man whose appearance might in- dicate that he had 1t to give. I stopped a mana stranger-and told him that l wanted S5. He asked me what l wanted 1t for. told him that my wife was confined and that I had nothing to give her to eat. He gave me the money. If he had not, think l was desperate enough to kill him."
 And the bravery of the young wife who had to stand this. To her great credit 1t Is to be recorded that she bore her trials with cheerfulness and lived the life of gypsy, with no com plaint to make her husbands lot hard. CT than 1t already was.
 In this darkest moment of Henry Georges life his wife was a beacon which upheld and guided him safely to the port of better times. And note which he sent to his wife during this period shows how greatly he treas ured her:
 ''Times seem pretty dull here but think can get along, Anyhow, we will try. I stayed at the What Cheer House last night. My darling, I don't know how much love you until am separated from you. don't believe l could live without you. And the dear little fellow-how I love him!"
 Henry George was born in Philadel- until he came to his life-work. At fourteen he left school and worked for a time in a store. Then he shipped as a foremast boy on a ship bound for Australia Returning to America he learned printing and the desire for travelling seizing him again he went on U. S. lightship and worked his way to California.
 Hearing of gold being struck in Brit lsh Columbia, Canada, he turned his attention next to prospecting in that country but returned to California and engaged variously as a printer, re- porter and editor in coast cities.
 His journalistic success was meager because of his uncompromising stand against monopolies. From this period on, however. he began to develop his theories of the single tax and we'll paying position In the California state civil service being obtained for him, he had enough leisure to write his cele brated book, Progress and Poverty" which brought him the recognition of the world as an economist.
 George ran twice for mayor of New York city. The first time he was de feated and the second race. entered into against the advice of his doctor resulted fatally for him. Already in weakened condition, the campaign re- quirements proved too strenuous for him, and, only four days before the election he died.
 Among the most famous of Georges followers was the Russian writer and reforDaer, Tolstoy.

C. P. JAMESON DEAD
(ketchikan ChronicIe)

lhetchikan ChronicIe)
 The many friends of Charles Per cy Jameson were shocked to learn of his sudden death at his home here last evening. MT. Jameson had competed ms dinner put snort time before, having eaten heartily, and was enjoying few moments or rest when he suffered sudden at tack Of stomach trouble. dis condi- ton became rapidly worse, and de- spite all efforts employed, he failed to recover.
 He is survived by his widow, a sister. Mrs. C. L. Miles of Seattle, and brother, Guy B. Jameson, of Los Angeles. Funeral arrangements were not completed this afternoon further than to arrange for services in ketchikan prior to the body be- ing sent to Seattle for cremation.
 Although he had lived in ketchi- kan and Alaska for a little more than four years, MT. Jameson was a we'll known figure in Alaskan cities, having made frequent visits throughout the Territory before be- coming established here.
 He was the. yice-president and general manager of the ketchikan Mercantile Co.,, and was prominently identified with the business and so- cial life of the city. He was affil- lated with the Elks and Masonic Scottish Rite Society; was instru- mental in the founding of the local Shrine Club; served several years on the yestry of St. Johns Episcopal church; was a member of the board Of directors for the Arthur Yates hospital, and was a member of the community welfare committee of the Ketchikan lodge of Elks. Mir. Jame- son was also a veteran of the Span ish-American war and saw active service in the Philippines with a Minnesota regiment.
 He was born in Creston, Iowa, on June 5. 1875. After leaving the army d the conclusion of the Span ish-American war he was identified with a number of business stablish- ments in Pacific coast cities, even tually coming to Ketchikan to act as manager Of the Mercantile Co. Because of his sunny, generous dis position and his readiness at all times 10 take an active part in any endeayor for the benefit of the con- munity. MT. Jameson enjoyed uni versal popularity wherever he has been, and his passing brings keen regret to all who have had the pleas ure of his acquaintance and friend ship.
