The Coolidge Way to Peace

1t is the belief of President Coolidge
that the time to outlaw war is now,
and that to do so is the duty of the
generation which knows of it's own
experience that war is horrible. A
later generation will be less likely to
do it, he fears, for time will dim the
horrors and magnify the glories. Some
hopeful things have been achieved in
the six years since the great war
came to an end, but thoughts and
fears of wars to come still burden and
oppress mankind.
Delegates attending the national
conference on the causes and cure of
war. to whom the President spoke yes
terday at the White House, could not
fail to be impressed with the earnest.
ness of his. conviction that to further
better understandings among the peo-
pies of the world is statesmanship's
highest duty. He recalled that it has
been said that the peace which ends
one war commonly sows the seeds of
the next war. There could be no bet
ter demonstration that this is true
than the conditions which exist in
Europe today. But how to uproot these
war seeds before they ripen to their
harvest of death and devastation? He
does not believe it will be done by
superstate armed with physical force
TO make it's DEGREES effective. If there
is no other way, then, he holds, our
civilization is not worthy of it's name.
But he sees a way in the force of the
public opinion of the world, by defying
which no nation may hope to profit.
That there may be means of crys-
tallizing the worlds opinion and direct
ing it intelligently and justly, he be-
lieves in the Permanent Court of In
ternational Justice and of American
participation in the functioning of
that tribunal. Out of the court he
would expect to see come gradually
body Of international law and pro-
cedure which, by avoiding the dan
gers which would attend the estab-
lishment Of a supergovernment, will
ultimately command the respect and
appreciation Of the worlds public opin-
ion and the cooperation of the ma
tions."
The President has little patience
with those who would hold back be-
cause they think Europe has not done
all it might have done to travel the
ways of peace. "Our responsibility is
for ourselves alone" he said, "for do
ing the part that falls to us because of
our place in the world" The Presi-
dent makes it plain that he yields to
none in idealism or in longing for a
better world, but he knows it is a
practical world in which we live, and
that it's problems must be solved in
practical ways. The Court Of Interna-
tional Justice he holds to be a practi-
cal step in a practical way to peace.

Wireless to the PHILIPPINES.

Recent discussions in Congress have
brought forth the fact that communi-
cation between the United States and
the Philippines, so far as concerns the
daily interchange of adequate news re-
ports, is at present dependent upon
the use of the United States Navy's
radio equipment. Authority for this
use of the Nations naval facilities
was granted by Congress in 1920 and
renewed in 1922. That authorize ton
expires on June 80 of this year. SINH
larly the Hawaiian newspape are
largely dependent upon the Navy
radio stations for adequate reports
covering the mainland and the world.
Prior to 1920 there was no such di-
rect exchange of news reports with
our island possessions in the Pacific.
In the Philippines the delays in trans
mission and the high rates for cable
service forced the island papers to Sc
cure their news of the United States
and the world from British news serv-
ices in Shanghai or Hongkong. And
today, il authorization to use the
naval facilities is permitted to expire,
the Hawaiian press, although able to
fall back upon the service of the Radio
Corporation of America at satisfac-
tory commercial rates, would find its
news reports cut of necessity to one
half the present volume, owing to the
crowding of the commercial sending
apparatus.
1t has been ascertained that, al
though the Radio Corporation has
been granted franchise by the Philip
pine government, it will be three years
before direct communication can be
established by it with the United
States, and that even then the cor
poration may not be able to grant a
word rate sufficiently cheap to make
possible the transmission Of the daily
news report.
1t was under these circumstances
that Representative Free of California

House renewing the authorization un-
der which the Navy has carried news
and commercial messages since 1920

While the men of the country are
making a big howdy-do over the ac-
cession of Ma" Ferguson to the
gubernatorial throne in Texas, the
feminists of the Nation are turning
their heads away from snif1fnE the
air with unmistakably big shifts.
They do not number Ma" in their
ranks. She has been a big disap-
pointment to them in one way, but
on the other hand, she has justified
their prediction and there is always

Ma" it appears, is entirely too
much under the thumb OF her hus-
band, Jim. AS a matter OF fact the
feminists say that Ma" is merely
substituting for Jim, because Jim
couldn't run for office last time. They
say that Jim is governor just as much
as he was some seven or eight years
ago, and that Ma" really represents
no great stride for the ascendancy of
the female of the species in modern
politics. Ma" was elected by the
Ferguson bloc in Texas, a bloc strong
enough to have cast about 10000
votes for Jim Ferguson for President
of the United States four years ago
when Jim was the candidate of his
own one-man party.
Mas" first acts in exalting her
husband and asking his advice on
everything connected with the office
have caused the feminists to groan in
despair. The idea of a woman COVER
nor doing a thing like that is gall
and wormwood to them. Next time
they back a woman for high Office
she will be either a widow, a con-
firmed spinster, or Lucy Stoner who
refuses to accept her husbands name.

Accidents.

A compilation of reports OF the traf.
f1c accidents in Washington in 1921
shows that 81 persons were killed in
death in or under motor cars, 13 being
killed by street cars, 2 by railroad
trains, ? by wagons and 2 by
bicycles. There were more accident
fatalities in 1924 than in 1923, and
there can be no assurance that the
list of accidents will not be longer in
1925 than last year.
Revision and improvement of traf-
flc regulation may reduce the number
OF deaths in 1925, but it will be the
part OF prudence for every man, WON.

should watch and obey the signals of

Eleven were drowned, the same num-

Auto-Dodging Course
Shows Practical Need

A school up in Oregon has estab-
lished a course in automobile dodg-
ing.
That's what you call practical edu-
cation. That's keeping learning
abreast of the times. Latin and trig-
onometry are all right in their way,
but they won't save you from a skid
ding truck-and won't be any good
to you after it has run over you. But
the school which teaches auto dodg-
ing marries learning to longevity. Its
graduates should not only have much
more chance than other graduates
to serve the world through their full
terms of usefulness, but should re-
-ceive material rebates on their acci-
dent and life insurance policies.
1t is good for any. one to know that
nowadays the open road is no place
in which to do ones dreaming. One
is far too likely to drop into the
sleep which knows no waking.
Besides, educating pedestrians to
dodge seems to be the only hope left.
For all attempts to educate drivers to
respect human life appear to have
failed miserably.-Los Angeles Times.

Former Vice President of the Unite,

Reason for so many divorces is to
be found in the fact that couples are
mismated. Before marriage the man
and the woman ought to test them
selves out as to whether they gener-
ate anger at the same time. II they
do, let them beware. All persons
have capacity for humor as we'll as
for anger. Those only should marry
whose machinery is so geared that
when one is growing the other is
grinning. Not only in home life, but
in society at large, the sense of hui
NOR is the safety valve, Revolutions
take place when all the people get
angry simultaneously. Revolutions
never occur when part of the popu-
lation is smiling at predatory bodies
in the community.
The Trinity runs through all ma
ture. 1t is one Of the strongest
proofs of the basic idea OF our reli-
gton. At times it would seem as
though we had passed through the
periods of brute force and of intel
lectual dominance and had entered
the period OF spiritual activity and
control. Then again our faith is
shaken when we find all three blend
ed in one bit of human conduct. The
blending arises not from feeling nor
from intelligence. but because both
the intellect and soul temporarily
hand over the scepter of life to mad
passion.

When a man gets angry he at once
seeks direct action to remedy the
evil under which he is suffering. A
body of workingmen become con-
vinced that they are not receiving a
fair share of the joint product of la
Dor and capital In time they become
incensed. The result is a strike to
rectify the wrong. They will tell
you that in the long run these strikes
have produced an uplift of wages
and conditions. Yet l doubt whether
Ii has been physical fear which has
brought amelioration. 1 am rather
inclined to believe that it has been
spiritual consciousness. Albeit, the
Trinity in man always has existed
1t has been with him from the begin
ming. One part OF il never has to-
tally died, allowing another part to
control his conduct completely.
We have had other strikes thar
those of labor. We have had moral
or spiritual strikes. They embodied
the anger OF men at course of con
duct which was prescribed for then
by some authority either human oil
divine. When a man does not like
law which has been enacted, he 1:
apt to become angry at constituted
authority. He is not unlike the col
ored soprano who quit the choir after
she had dreamed that the Lord hac
told her to sing a certain hymn. She
was not going to be bossed by any
body. 1t may be human nature, but
many men seem to want to go or
strike against anything which is or.
dered of them.

standing out against control, either
human or divine. but 1 prefer to be-
lieve that the liberties of men have
been enlarged by the consciousness of
right rather than by strikes against
the prohibitions of men or angels.
Neither the physical strike nor the
moral strike, old as each is in the
affairs of men, has ever been re-
garded as a cause for laughter; on
the contrary, each now as always
affords causes for regret and reasons
for reform. 1t has remained for the
present to produce strikes which are
humorous. They are going on now in
various countries of the world. They
are called intellectual strikes.
Students In schools and universities,
when something happens in govern
ment which does not meet with their
approval, go upon these strikes by
announcing to the world that until
their government does what they de-
sire It to do they will refuse TO go
on with their education. If there Is
anything to be learned they VIII not
learn it. If there is anything to be
sought out in books they will close
the books. They will learn nothing
more, care to know nothing more
until the government complies with
their demand. To me this is the joke
of the twentieth century-in fact, the
joke OF the ages.
* x X !;
When men with strong arms nave
been unable to have their way with
government, when men by the use or
their spiritual and moral faculties
have failed at swaying government
to suit themselves, how may these
immature youths, scattered in all
81
throughout the world. expect to ac-
complish anything by refusing TO
continue their education? L can un-
derstand why a man will not work
when he believes he is not getting
a decent days wage, or why another
will hold back when attempt is made
to drive him into the observance OF
a law which he feels to be violation
of his rights, but 1t is beyond me why
any person would cease his own edu-
cation because things were not being
run TO suit him.
This may be the ludicrous end OF
the modern idea that no one can be
compelled to do anything in this
world until he has been convinced
that ii is for his own best interest.
These intellectual strikes may be the
results OF that training of the human
intellect that 1t has an inaliensble
right to determine for itself what
1t will be, what it will know, what
1t Will do, to what extent II will suf-
fer and permit itself 10 get under
the control OF constituted authority.
This Is self-determination gone mad.
The world now is split up enough
into feeble, incompetent governments.
1t will be worse split up IL feeble
and incompetent governments are to
be hampered by intellectual strikes.
But 1 look for no such thing. The
Joke will not last. These intellectual
strikers will become laughing stocks
of the people who know that. whether
we like IL or not, we are under some
sort OF law, and that this law,
whether made by a majority or auto
| ratically made, must be obeyed or
government will perish.

A total eclipse of the sun is the de-
light Of the pessimist. 1t makes him
exclaim what's the use?" An eclipse
is SO much grander, so much more in
exorable than anything in earthly life
and tells in it's own way the tale of
the wonderously ingenious system
of the universe, compared to which
our terrestrial affairs sink into an in
significance bordering on oblivion.
With the regularity of split sec
ond watch these eclipses have been
going on through the ages and will
continue to what we are pleased to
call the end. But in the universe is
there such a thing as an end? The sun
may die, the moon may crumble, but
other plants will go their way and
other peoples in other spheres will be
marveling at the phenomena of the
crossing and recrossing of the stars
on their appointed rounds.
The sun surveys the earth with a
benign calmness which reckons not of
time. 1t causes its light to shine re-
gardless of what pygmy people may
do. IL all the nations had killed off
all the other nations during the World
War, the suns eclipse of Saturday

hensible to the finite mind could stop.
