Rabbitland than I. if l do say So
and he set to work with tape mea-

''Wait a minute" thoughtfully an

his shop, he came out in few min

reel. Then tying the end of the tape
carefully around the old gentleman
rabbits waist, he told his bird work
man to hold tight to the reel, and
gently lowered dear Uncle Lucky to

Soldiers of Peace
fDA ~lrN

(Boston Globe)
Was there ever problem in his
tory, upon which an issue of war or
peace turned, but discussion in the
open, in a spirit of mutual honesty
and sincere effort toward peace,
could have solved it without any ap-
peal to slaughter? Public ignorance
about what is really up, behind
scenes, is what makes it possible to
beat up gale of public passion.
That is why it is encouraging to
hear that a group of 100 publicists,
educators, economists and scientists
have founded an Institute for Peace
in the Pacific, and have made plans
to establish at Hawaii annual con-
ferences, participated in by dele
gates from japan. Canada, the
United States, the Philippines, New
Zealand, China and Australia.
The project is international in
scope. 1t is Immensely important
in possibilities. Pres Wilbur of Le-
land Stanford University is chair
man of the group, which includes
Pres. Lowell of Harvard. 1t is
planned each year to open for pub
lie discussion and round table analy-
sis every major problem involved in
the international relationships of the
Pacific.

NOT OCCASION FOR
"SO6 STUFF"

II you consider the news It may
be worth your while to give these
two reports in the days news of the
wednesday mornings papers more
than the "once over: the report that
Kirby may never come to trial but
be placed in an insane asylum. also
the report Of Harry Thaw's visit to
New York city. Also 1t will be well
to bear in mind that it is said that
Kirby was once an inmate of home
for feeble minded but was released
and made an attendant.
Presumably most Of the Journal
readers have some recollection OF
Harry Thaws exploits in murder
and decadency; how he murdered
Stanford White in a public place,
how his millions were employed in
counsel and experts. how eroticism
and degeneracy were yelled and be-
decked as sacred love between man
and woman, and how finally. after
the expenditure of huge sums OF
money, many thousands of it from
the taxpayers and amounts not
known from the Thaw millions,
Thaw was finally restrained as in
sane, only to be released later.
Under these circumstances the dis
patch from New York city, to which
this allusion is made is Illuminating.
Here is part Of it:
"Thaw was first discovered Sum-
day night when he appeared at a
night club in the Roaring Forties,
accompanied by Fawn Gray, dane
er. and lavishing tips on the cabaret
staff, and flowers on the women in
the place. The cost Of his evening,
including a $500 tip to the orchestra,
is estimated at $780,"
We assume most readers will be
sufficiently intelligent to draw their
own conclusions, and not very wide
of the mark at that. We would not
assume to PREJUDICE Kirby or deny
him the protection of the laws. Let
justice be done insofar as 1t may be
possible after the full truth is known,
but 1t does seem pertinent to remark
that this isn't an occasion to permit
our feelings to be swayed by sob
STUFF. Indeed it is but fair to the
good sense of many to say that they
find it nauseating.

Upon that point, be sure I'm right
No doubt at all, can be,
For If opposed. we'll have to fight,
And then you're beat, you see;
I never fall to prove my case
Mistakes don't enter in
My word Is all you have to face,
And ev'ry time, win.
So spoke my friend of many years,
Quite sure of all he says,
Yet, oft l find doubt appears,
Though positive his ways.
Too oft his wishes, words make clear
He cannot bear a doubt
Hot tempered too, without a rear,
He's wont to fight it out.
That sort of man we meet and chide-
Well meaning, to be sure
But he forgets the other side
That fighting cannot cure;
Though arguments may not convince,
All men owe reflection,
And by that at last agree, since
Two sides has each question.
