HE WAS A DREAMER.

Throughout the world today tribute is being
paid to man who was dreamer and who de-
spite disappointments and misfortunes follow
ed his dream through to a more glorious real
ization than his widest fancies.
That man was Christopher Columbus. All
the world may well halt today to take lesson
from his career. Every year makes the glory
of his exploit BRIGHTER and the value of it to
the world greater.
And who was Columbus? For years he
lived in the shadows of the towers of the
ancient wall of Genoa. To those who knew
him best he told his dream of a new passage
way to the Orient but they laughed at him.
They called him dreamer. Some went SO far
as to tap their foreheads as he went by as they
scoffed at his idle dreams.
But Columbus would not forget his dreams.
Disappointed in his native land, he had such
courage of his convictions that he went to a
foreign country to seek the fleet which ne
hoped would make his dreams come true. We
all know the story--a gracious queen, selling
her jewels to make it possible for him to try
out his plan, the days of sailing into an UNI
charted sea, the mutiny of the sailors aboard
his ships who had not caught the glimpse of
other lands which their leader had and finally
land
Through every crisis of his life runs that
characteristic Of faith in his beliefs and a
courage to see them through to the end. With
the gray Azores behind him" and "only
shoreess seas ahead his injunction to his
timorous crew was "Sail On" When all but
he had despaired of victory, by his own in
domitable spirit, he kept the ships pointed in
to unknown seas, confident that he at last
would reach land,
One of the brightest pages in history is the
day which the world celebrates today-the
day when Columbus is said to have sighted
land confirming not his own dreams of route
to the Orient, but unfolding the way for a
greater realization of his dreams Today we
may well recall the description of that day as
made by the,noted poet, Joaquin Miller:
"Then pale and worn, he kept his deck,
And peered through darkness. All, that night,
OF all dark nights! And then speck-
A light! A light! A light! A light!
II grew, a, starlit flag unfurled!
1t grew to he Times burst of down;
He gained world; he gave that world
It's grandest lesson: "On! and on"

RECORDED VOICES.

The British Broadcasting company and the
British Museum are working out program
for broadcasting the recorded voices of famous
people. Among the voices of which the Brit
ish Museum has records are these of Qeen
Victoria. Tennyson, Theodore Roosevelt and
Sir Herbert Tree
All of the older records are the early
cylinder form, and they are very far from per-
feet. The authorities refuse to allow the use
of the one made of Queen Victorias voice be-
cause it is faulty. The ones of Roosevelt and
Sir Herbert Tree, on the other hand. are very
fine,
From now on, all such records should be
very readily made and preserved. Phono-
graph owners are already accustomed to hav-
ing beautiful vocal records Of singers now de-
ceased 1t should be a simple matter to pre-
serve in their lifetime and reproduce at will
speaking records of many distinguished citi-
zens. In the future, celebrations of their an
niversaries or of occasions and events in which
they would have taken particular interest, can
be appropriately carried out by broadcasting
their spoken words.

KEEP THE GOOD TINES GOOD.

Well founded is the general impression that
good times are here and are here to stay for
some time Trade and financial experts all
agree that this country has again entered upon
an era of prosperity which will probably prove
unprecedented in the peace-time history of
our country. Every indication is that this
prosperity issmost stable, that it is founded on
gradual rebuilding of industry along the prop
er lines since the days of depression which
came as result'of over-eXpansion in the post
war days. Trade, industry and business are
all making steady progress. 1t is in no sense
a BOOM"
With these good times comes a response
bility to all concerned. That responsibility is
to keep these good times good. How long
they will last depends entirely upon the people
of this nation.s If the people in general be-
come distrustful and show lack of confidence,
this will be reflected in business and industry.
If they continue their faith in the future,
there is no end to the good times ahead of us.
There is one other angle to be discussed.
Good times bring new hazards Several years
ago business and industrial leaders ignored
these hazards and built on unstable possibili-
ties. 1t is certain now that they have learned
their lesson. Let the present good times be
built on stable basis, and if such is done,
they will continue Indefinitely.
Kenosha has always been fortunate in hav-
ing at the heads Of its industries men who
kept their industries on solid foundations, but
who were at the same time ready to progress
as rapidly as the times warranted. 1t was this
which kept Kenosha from feeling the pinch of
q depression a few years ago. It will be this
same spirit which win continue to give Keno
sha its share of the prosperity which seems
to be in store for this country

PARENTAL DISCIPLINE.

Il never made any rules" says President
Coolidge's father, when a writer sought his
views on bringing up children. The more rules
you make the more there are to break. Rules
aren't any good"
That may be overstating the matter little,
but it emphasizes sound principle. multi
plcity Of rules for children is like multiplied
ty of laws for grown-up citizens, and nearly
everyone agrees how bad that is
What then? "A child ought to know what's
expected of him, and he ought to do it" says
Col. Coolidge "Cal did! There wasn't any
talk about it, either
This old-fashioned philosophy of child-rear-
ing deserves attention, in a time of fancy
theories and laxity, varied occasionally by
cruel severity in supposed imitation of the
older regime. In most cases there are prob
ably too many rules, too much talk and not
enough calm confidence that the child will do
whats expected of him." A normal child is
likely to do that, if the expectation is strong
enough to imply genuine faith in him, and he
isn't nagged about it or talked to past endur-
ance.

A FOREIGN WATERWAY.

An engineering dream of several centuries
is being realized in Europe by the completion
of waterway between the North Sea and the
Mediterranean, cutting through the big PEN
insula that constitutes the western end of the
comment. Barges comparable to those used
on the New York Barge Canal between the
Great Lakes and the Hudson will now be able
to pass from sea to sea without the long
journey around Spain, France, Belgium and
Holland
North and South Europe will be joined by
water directly for the first time in history. 1t
will be an important continental link, promot-
ing commerce and peace
It has been big, expensive undertaking. in
volving an enormous amount of dredging and
blasting, including ive-mile tunnel through
the Alps @
This example set by the supposedly back
ward and poverty-stricken Old World gives new
stimulus TO the oft-discussed project of con-
Meeting the Great Lakes and the Gulf of
Mexico by means of a barge canal from Lake
Michigan to the Mississippi-an easier and
cheaper undertaking.

whether more than half the murders are ever
solved to the extent of fixing the guilt on any
individual And New York is probably no
worse in this respect than other communities
It is absurdly easy almost anywhere in the
United States to get away with murder,
as the news reveals every day.
The courts are largely to blame for failure
to convict. The police are largely to blame for
failure to catch.
The detective profession seems to be suffer
ing from a bad slump. There are good de-
tectives, but not enough. of them, and the best
of them do not approach the traditional stand
ard.
In lieu of genuine Sherlock Holmes, or a
crop of Homeses, it might be a good thing to
draft Conan Doyle and other creators of master
minds, and see what they could do in real life

TOLERANCE.

One of the finest paragraphs in
President Coolidge's speech to the
Omaha convention was this one:
zone of the most natural reactions
during the war; was intolerance, 81.
There should be an intellectual de-
mobilization as well as a military de-
mobilization"
Replacing intolerance with tolerance
in this country is largely an individual
matter.
You can't do it by law. You can't
do it, by concerted movements, for
even an organization of tolerants
formed to combat intolerance is apt
to become intolerant with the intol-
Grants.
The only solution is for each citizen
to be more tolerant with his neighbor.
Judge less; respect the opinions of
others more.
Criticize lessl commend more.

R0well Says
Bv CHESTER H. ROWELL

III. IS
The difference between the action OF
the Interparliamentary Union in ex-
Guiding Mary MacSwiney and of the
American government in excluding
Saklatvala illustrates the right and the
wrong way to do such things.
Miss MacSwiney, who had elected
herself delegate to represent the
imaginary government of the nom
existent Republic of Ireland, was ex-
cluded by the assembly itself, which
necessarily was the judge of the cre-
dentials of its~own members.
The action was taken after consul
tation with the actual, government OF
Ireland, on its assurance that she did
not represent it and had never been
chosen a member. ..,e
Mr.. Saklatvala, who was a duly ac-
credited member, was excluded from
an international body which happened
to be meeting on American soil, on the
ground that he was not welcome
resident of America.
He was not coming in that capacity,
He was coming to the international
meeting, to represent a nation in
whose parliament he sits, without
protest from his own country.
He should have been admitted on
the principle of diplomatic immunity
Otherwise the Interparliamentary
Union can never meet freely anywhere
if its membership is to be subject to
the censorship of the host nation.
Suppose it were to meet in Constant
inople, and Turkey were to exclude
any American member who. was a
Christian!

TOO DANGEROUS.

One weapon of war is too dangerous
to use against even rats. That is dis
ease germs
The California Board Of Health, has
vetoed a proposition to combat rats
by spreading disease among them.
Theoretically, if some disease could
be found to which rats were sus-
ceptible, but to which human beings
and all useful animals were immune,
that would be an ideal way of getting
rid. of mans smartest and most per-
sistent enemy. sg
But the health authorities hold that
not enough is known Of diseases to
b esure that even the rattiest Of rat
diseases might not spread pestilence
elsewhere. So the rats will be shot,
drowned, smothered, poisoned, starved
and trapped, but not infected. Il

MASTER DEFECTIVE NEEDED.

One of the many things this country needs
is Sherlock Holmes.
Every state, every city, almost every town,
has its unsolved murder cases. Those that
get into the courts are nothing compared with
the cases in which the murderer is never
caught In shockingly proportion of cases
the police do not discover even who committed
the crime. not to mention arresting him.
Figures compiled by an investigator in New
York City show that not more than one killer

crime, less than one third are convicted for
any degree of murder, and it is doubtful
