THE CLUTTER OF THINGS.

good deal has been said lately about leis-
ure and it's proper use. It has been said that
people already have too much idle time which
is SO poorly enjoyed that it does not deserve
the agreeable name of leisure. Sarah Cleg-
horn, writing in The Survey, makes two note
worthy suggestions along this line.
eve need" she writes, communal leisure.
We need not single persons separately released
from their cages for few minutes, but a
communal holiday heart. We need wide
spread blitheness, that can concentrate togeth-
er in some gay creative impulse, and bloom in
to art" sss ~s..s@.
She suggests two things that stand in the
way of general enjoyment of such leisure. The
first is economic insecurity. Too many work
ers are afraid of losing their livelihood. The
other is the clutter of things land here rich
and poor suffer alike
Thousands of pretty tags and ingenious
mechanisms lie heaped up in the way of any
simple and enjoyable habit of mind At all
events many of us feel half suffocated in buy
ables. A sa i. @aass7sa%s II
From time to time we long for hut, den,
a camp with rough sawn floor and tin dishes.
In our hearts we know that this ISM primarily
to escape the actual labor of taking care of
these things, and using them enough to justify
having them; but the demand of something
else in us that wants the room in life which
these take up"
Sometimes the two things move in a vicious
circle; the acquisition of the Clutter" and its
subsequent use and care helps to create the
economic insecurity. saAe
One Of the needs of this period of civiliza-
ton is the discerning heart or mind which can
separate the helpful and leisure promising me-
chanisms from those that clutter and suffo-

WHERE ONE PAPER STANDS.

The Oshkosh Northwestern has clearly stat
ed its stand regarding the state Republican
convention which is to be held this week in
Oshkosh In stating it's stand it has made an
excellent statement of the why and wherefores
of the convention, statement which will in
terest voters not only near Oshkosh but also
everywhere in Wisconsin. 1t states under the
title where the Northwestern Stands:
"The Northwestern has been asked whom it
will support in the primary election, possibly
soon to be held to select candidate to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death Of United
States Senator Robert NJ LaFo.lette
'"The answer is this:
"The Northwestern will support in the pri-
mary whoever is nominated by the Coolidge
Republican statewide convention which is to
be held soon.
"The Northwestern will do this because it
believes in government by party.
1T believes in reasonable party regularity.
1T believes the tendency Of the present pri-
mary law of the state has been and is to
weaken, if not destroy, the party idea.
1T believes in more Capitalization of respon-
sibility to the people and to the party than the
f-isconsin primary gives
1T believes in the convention system, where

RAIL MERGERS.
cate.

The big problems in the United States now
are mainly transportation problems. An i'm
mensely wealthy and productive nation needs
to move about and get it's goods moved. The
railroads are admittedly Inadequate as they
stand President Coolidge. tells the newspaper
correspondents he believes the solution of the
problem would be greatly helped by voluntary
consultations; ~ II ses&aass
Such consultations are now permitted, UNI
Ter legislation recently enacted by Congress,
provided the Interstate Commerce Commission
approves. The first big voluntary merger pro-
posed, made up Of five lines with the Nickel
Plate as nucleus, is now under scrutiny
There has been a vigorous fight against ap-
prevail, made by group of stockholders of
one of the lines, but it is generally expected
that the merger will go through. If so, it is
sure to be followed by others in other sections.
Here is a notable change from the days when
railroad mergers were evils to- be fought by
the government, and the great desideratum was
more competition. It is seen now that competi-
ton may be overdone, making wasteful dupi-
cation and needless expense. The ideal now is
simplifcation and efficiency, in big units, where
public service corporations are concerned, with
the government friendly as long as they do
what is right, but holding a poised club ready
to swing when they treat the public unfairly.

Booze.
Experiments in the Harvard Medi-
cal School laboratories demonstrate
that the new German synthetic
methanol is exactly as poisonous as
the more familiar American distilled
wood alcohol. And the methanol is
the more dangerous, because it Is
cheap and pure.
Wood alcohol when made contains
impurities which make it undrink-
ably offensive, and it is expensive to
deodorize. Methanol is pure and in
offensive to begin with, and it is very
cheap.
1t makes a palatable drink, not dis
tinguishable by the taste from SIM
liar drink made with grain alcohol.
But a little of that drink will pois-
son you; little more will blind you,
and any considerable dose will kill
you.
Whoever, therefore, sells it for bev-
erage purposes is more than boot

The age of adventure is not deau,
nor is the love of it gone from the
breasts of young men.
Seven young American aviators have
just left Paris for Africa, to serve
against the Riffs as new Lafayette
escadrille.
Is that war any part of their quar-

nothing in it for them except plenty
of risks, the possibility of a painful
death-and adventure.
And who wouldn't wish those lads
good luck?

An Austrian architect in Paris pre-

with houses suspended from frames
several hundred feet in the air, and
airplanes supplying transportation.
1t is all possible, except for the
one factor that everybody ignores.
That is earthquakes.
Sooner or later, the earthquake
comes everywhere. The more cities we
build, the more likelihood of there
being city in the place where par
ticular earthquake comes.
Unless we build cities earthquake
proof, constantly increasing number
Of them will be devastated.
Most of the fantastic speculations
regarding the city of the future en-
visage structures which are earth
quake would destroy. With cities al
ready built, we must take the chances,
and the consequences.
But we should not, even in our
dreams, plan future cities on the as
sumption that the "solid earth. will
remain solid. Whatever is built for
the ages" must be built to withstand
the earthquake which the ages are
sure to bring.

Special picnics "for poor children"
are being provided by New York re-
ligious organizations. It is a good
work
But the word is a misnomer. There
are no poor" children, any more than
there are "illegitimate" children.
There are children of poor parents,
or of illegitimate parents.
Or, in another sense, all children
are poor. They are unable to provide
for their own needs, and are. entitled
to support from others. H8t
The obligation is first on the parent,
and second on society. But the right
of the child is the same, either way.
1t is it's right to receive support,
recreationk and education, without pay
ing for them.
The child is no more poor" if the
payment comes from one source than
if it comes from another. a
The right of the child to receive it
ought not to depend on the ability of
the parents to give it.
