Little Change In
KenOshan's Condition

The latest reports which have been
received in Kenosha from the Finley
hospital at Dubuque, Iowa, where
William H. Schroeder, Kenosha must
clan is a patient suffering from, in
juries received in an automobile
accident, were to the effect that there
had been little change in his condi-
ton since Monday morning. At that
time it was stated that he had shown
slight Improvement and had an
even chance for recovery. No report
had been received from the hospi-
tai this morning.
Word has been received from
Dubuque that the first accounts sent
out Of the accident were incorrect
in stating that Mr.. Schroeder was
driving the car. His brother, Henry
Schroeder, who escaped serious in
jury, was at the wheel when the
crash came.

KENOSHA THE
CITY OF PARKS
Report Shows That $3.50 of
Ken0sha Consists of
Park Land.
CARLSON AS DIRECTOR

In comprehensive report prepared
by Director of Parks, Floyd Carlson,
at the request of a committee ap-
pointed by President Coolidge for the
purpose of looking into the recrea-
tion problem of the country, and
probably establishing bureau for
aiding this big question, one may find
a multitude of facts that have here
tofore been practically unknown ex-
cept to those in close contact with
the work of the park department.
Seventeen Parks.
Kenosha, as the third largest city
in the state of Wisconsin, has a total
of seventeen public parks. The total
area of these parks is 2676 acres. The
city of Kenosha contains 4,232 acres,
thus making the ratio of parks in
this municipality about 63 per cent.
With the population estimated at
about $4,000 inhabitants, approximate
ly each 1913 people in the city have
an acre OF park land to themselves.
In 1925, city wide park program
was adopted. This will take care of
the city's future park needs for many
years to come, and no doubt will
prove of great value. The park de-
partment was established in this city
in the year of 1912.
Many Features.
Kenosha, as city of parks, has
many features to offer such as the
wonderful lagoon at Lincoln park, the
sunken gardens, the municipal golf
links, and the auto-tourists camp.
One of the best bathing beaches in
the country is provided at the Sim
mons playground. Public dancing is
offered at the Lincoln park pavilion,
as we'll as boating, and occasional
band concerts.
The Community Christmas Tree and
Fourth of July celebration are also
taken care of by the Park department.
Kenosha, in years gone by, was
often mentioned as the Park City To-
day she stands even better qualified
to be worthy of such a distinction.

Announce New Plan
for Grading Cheese

Madison, Wis. Disputes
in the grading of foreign cheese by
an arbitrator, under a new policy
adopted by the Wisconsin department
of markets.
The department announced today
that in the future an arbitrator would
be employed in all cases where farm
ers or dealers are dissatisfied with the
grades placed on their cheese. The
arbitrator must be satisfactory to both
sides and will be compensated for his
services by the party who loves the
controversy.
Edward Nordman, commissioner of
markets, and Math Michels, dairy spe-
cialist of the department, have been
holding meetings to obtain the farm
ers' opinion of the grades establish
ed by the department and their en-
forcement. As a result of the hear

much to the advantage of the whole house.
The living room and dining room in this

Gertrude Has
Lost Confidence

Capegriz, Nez, France ~, -
Gertrude Ederle, during the past two
days seemingly has lost that superb
confidence which was hers when she
made her first attempt, August IS, to
swim the English channel from France
to England. Since her failure. to cross
the turbulent stretch of sea she has
been brooding; she has more respect
for the old waterway than before she
essayed to master it.
Miss Ederle had expected to get
away from Griz Nez at six o'clock
this morning but the channel last
night was kicking up such seas that
it would have been hard for, small
vessels to have crossed it. Previously
the water had been very calm and
when the change suddenly came late
yesterday, the American girl called off
her Tuesday morning trial and set it
for Wednesday morning at 1900 o'clock.

Countries Must Understand
Others Domestic Problems

European statesmen the idea that our
Federal Government has complete juris
diction over our States. and instances
are not wanting of situations which have
become grave and might sometimes lead
to conflict because of the failure Of for
eigners to understand our domestic
structure.
For many years much Of the relation
ship between Japan and the United
States has depended upon our under
standing of the internal political situa-
ton in Japan itself. This was because
well balanced conflict was going on
within Japan between an awakening
liberalism on the one hand and a group
which. according to some minds, is mill
tariStic and exercises a. 'PrussianiZing''
influence. Any sound policy of dealing
with Japan would have included a care
full regard for placing our influence on
the right side of the scales. But it was
with utter ignorance or utter neglect of
this factor that Congress dealt with
Japanese immigration. Today the build
ing of peace between France and Ger
many depends almost wholly upon the
recognition of each country that any ex-
treme action by one serves to take politi-
cal control in the other out of the hands
of liberalism and place it in the hands
of the wrong kind of nationalists.
Only when we are willing to under
stand many of the home problems of
foreign government have we taken the
third degree in international affairs.

Everyday Religion
Not Talk on Theology, But Upon Life and Right
Living.
BY RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. D.,
Bishop of Washington.

His own supreme power. This, He
maintained, required the simple trust
and faith that lent to childhood it's
chief charm and adornment.
X x X
In the exercise of His beneficent
ministry He repeatedly asked the
question. 'Canst thou believer" and
him that believeth" His plan did not
contemplate long and labored study
of some abstruse philosophy. 1t de-
manded belief in His sovereignty and
obedience to His will and complete
trust in His high purpose. The faith
that child has in the good will of
his father was the ideal that He set
for those who would follow Him.
Those who have literally expert
enced a new hope and the thrilling
inspiration of His life and teaching
have been those who have yielded to
His system and with unfailing con-
fidence reposed their faith in His high
purpose concerning them. To such,
age means nothing and life's increas-
ing burdens and sorrows find their
solution in the outw orking of His
divine plan. Those whom we have
known. even among the most intel
lectual. have found their deepest COM
fort and satisfaction in yielding their
wills to Him. with the assurance that
out of the tangled. confused scheme
of things His mighty purposes were
working themselves out.
1t was Tennyson who said:
Our wills ours. know not why,
Our wills to make them Thine.

Each recurring age has witnessed
discussions and debates concerning
the relative merits of the church's
doctrines. FundamentaliSts and mod
ernistS have ever occupied the field,
and while they have contended for
their respective points of view, con-
fusion and sometimes disorder have
attended the discussions. There are
those who today are disturbed and
distressed by the contentious and dis
cussions of the doctors of law. In
still demand for their solution that
which Jesus Christ gave to the world
1t is still true, no matter what our
conceits of learning or our human
reasoning may suggest, that the un-
wayering faith Of the child in the
supreme thing that enables US to lay
hold Of those great promises that lend
fresh zest and enthusiasm to life, re-
store its confidence and rejuvenate il.
The renewal we seek for and with
out which life grows dull and stale
proceeds from Him who made child
hood the supreme ideal of Christian
character.

Former Ambassador to Italy.

The conf1agration of the World War
not only resulted in cries of Fire.
Fire" while it was in progress, but it
has left a Jealous and well intentioned
group still crying Fire! Fire" or
Water! Water!" over its cold ashes.
The idea that war may be abolished
and the problems of International re-
lationships solved by slogans, catch
words, phrases and the overnight
plans made by some grammar school
student has the disadvantage of lead
ing mankind up blind alleys, diverting
energy from more successful methods
and by its failure leaving humanity
in fog Of synicism. If 1t has had
value. the value of this first degree
has been the emphasis on the neces-
sity of taking the second degree.
The second degree is now coming
into its own. 1t is the fact-fnding
step; 1t is the insistence that idealism
shall be built upon reality. which has
found its concrete expression in the
foundation of schools for the study
of international relationship and in
the awakening demand of the people
for something more than the incanta-
tions of self-appointed medicine men
of peace.
Something more is necessary 1t
will not be sufficient to confine study
to the field of foreign relationship.
No one who has not had intimate ex-
perience with diplomatic problems in
action can fully realize the great
need for the third degree; to wit, In
ternational understanding of domestic
governmental and political problems
upon which foreign relations, and
sometimes even the causes Of war
are based.

west, what has been accomplished?
There should not be two opinions as

BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

HARLES BEECHER WAR
REN'S case has passed into
political history, but an Incl
~ dent of the Senate debate
over it is not closed. 1t is the Incl
dent raised by Senator Borah in his
now famous speech against Warren,
in which the Idahoan charged that
'if there is any atmosphere in Gods
world that weakens a mans backbone,
it is the atmosphere of Washington"
Borah added that at is much easier in
Washington to go along than 1t Is to
disagree" He declared that "the
diluting process" Gin breaking mans
backbone) "is constant and drastic"
This writer took occasion, during
the closing hours of the Senate ses-
sion, to sound opinion as to the merit
of Borah's accusations. Hardly Sem
ator was encountered who was not
ready to admit their general truth.
Many asserted that the pressure" Is
often so strong that 1t is almost
miracle that 1t is ever resisted.
summary of views expressed indicates
that the "backbone-breaking atmos-
phere" consists of three primary ele-
ments.
l. The tremendous prestige at
taching to the persons and the ad-
ministration of the President who
happens TO be In office
.. The chubby" spirit of the
United States Senate, which makes
Senators reluctant to oppose broth
er Senators.
g. The social lobby" repre-
sented by wives Of men in high
official position.
Senators discussed the various de-
grees of "insidiousness" of these
backbone breaking" elements in the
order above mentioned. The power
and popularity of the President are
the factors said to dilute" political
independence most often and most ef-
fectfveIy He holds the existence of
thousands of people in the palm of his
executive hands He is not an auto
crat. but these thousands of men and
women. whom he can obliterate politi-
cally and socially with the stroke of
pen, comport themselves as IL he
were an autocrat. They are not only
subservient themselves, but inclined
to fly at the throat OF anybody who
is not subservient. They are actuated
by motives of self-preservation. Many
of them. having power of their own,
though not equal to that of the Presi-
dent, are disposed to use it ruthlessly
against people who will not go
along" but who dare to disagree"
What Senators mean is that this
system of extreme loyalty to the
Evening star., 1925-03-22
How the BackbOnes of Statesmen Become
Weakenedby Temptations of W. ashington''

what the United States Senate has
often been called, breeds political back
bonelessness of the worst sort. There
are only 96 Senators. They are thrown
into intimate contact for six years.
They become a close corporation and
as 'Dally" as college fraternity.
They call one another by their first
names. Political rancors cease>at the
cloakroom threshold. They are con-
stantly seeking mutual favors, and
grant them. Obligations are under
taken because they cannot be escaped.
When they are incurred political in
dependence takes wings. There's no
such thing as going back on a pledge
to a fellow-member of "the finest club
in the world" 1t simply isn't done.
But 1t is the famed Washington so
cial lobby" that Senators call the prin-
cipal pitfall. Into that trap, they
acknowledge, many a well intentioned
statesman has tumbled, never again to
regain the political freedom which
fond constituents think he possesses.
The social lobby" never cleared for
action with so intensive skill as on the
occasion of the Newberry affair in
1922. Mrs Newberry was an accom-
plished and popular hostess. She was
a lavish entertainer, and placed scores
of influential men and women under
personal obligations to her. These
were organized almost solidly on Sen
ator Newberry's behalf when the con-
test to unseat him was under way.
Senator Kenyon, the Iowa Progressive
leader, made excoriating reference to
the social lobby" in his great speech
against Newberry in the Senate.
Washington Is full Of extraordinarily
clever women. 1t is notorious that
many of them play their social hand
to the limit. Sometimes they are re-
Ientless in the pursuit of goal. Some
times they are subtle. sometimes quite
obvious. Climbers" are their COM
monest victims. Old congressional
hands come to learn their ways and
means. and. once bitten, are twice
shy. But il is never easy to resist
the lures that lie in the social path.
Our National Capital, of course, is
no exception to the rule. Every world
capital has a social lobby" Old-time
diplomacy considered it one of its
most important and legitimate ad-
juncts Bismarck boasted that he
achieved more triumphs across the
dinner table, by clever use of clever
women. than by any of the stereotyped
methods of diplomacy. 1t is influ-
/ ences like these that Borah of Idaho
had in mind when he described and
deplored "the atmosphere of Wash
ington."
