Public Opinion

Public opinion! Politically. what is it !?
Why, the democratic theory is that the average
citizen keeping his eyes open and his mind reason
ably informed concerning public affairs, is able ia
arrive at pretty accurate conclusion to their
trend The collective opinion is revealed by the bal
lot box That's public opinion.
Veal, there is such thing, according to Walter
Lippman Of the American academy Of political and
social science, author of new book on "The Phan.
tom Pubic" in which he explains why not
Our government is complicated and technical
today that intelligent individual. working eight
hours day six days week, he says, can't keep up
with what's going on, locally and nationally. Unin-
formed he cant have opinon-only prejudices
With no individual opinion public opinion is mpos-
sblc
So what's the use in get-out-the-vote campaigns ?
Is ignorant vote Of forty millions any better than
All ignorant vote of twenty? Iippman thinks it is
ITO support the ms" he says. when things are
going well and to support the Outs when the ms
to be doing badly-this is the of popu-
lar government"
Public opinion may know very little about details,
but it knows, in a general way, what times like
1t DOESN'T reason, but it comprehends conditions. If
it doesn't like them it exchange the ms for the
Outs.
As campaign orator, Lppman never would do
but it's new line of argument at that.

But they also. says Safety Director Edwin d.
Barry Of Cleveland. lazy and they have too much
time off. At least, that is what he told an assist
ant chief Of the department who requested that fire
men be permitted to work AZ hours and be off AZ
hours, instead Of "a, as at present "A fireman."
says Director Barry, "gcts too much time off as II
is. He's off three days every week. The poor cops
work their time day and night, without q kick, and
the public gives them the dickens for enforcing the
law. But the public loves fireman because about
once week he puts out a fire"
There is much sense in Director Barry's attitude
on this question. Although the fireman's duty is
the spectacular he really does not in the long
run. take the chances that . policeman does. The
fireman has only to fear thc{aames and an accident,
while tn. policeman has to fear every murder0ns
criminal outside of prison walls.
In sense, Of course, both jobs are lazy. The
policeman saunters around his beat and the fireman
lounges in the firehouse-until trouble starts Then
they both active and efficient in their perform
ance Of their public duty. They should be treated
fairly in the matter of time off, Of course but there
is limit to all things.

Tramp, Tramp. Tramp

During time when many colleges and universe
ties trying to cast out military training, it is
gratifying to know that there are 10000 young men
who willing to spend half their summer, without
pay, in acquiring the rudiments of soldering.
Neither is that the only gratifying thing about the
citizens military training camps this summer: An
other is the degree Of physical fitness which youth
seems to be maintaining. very small per cent Of
all applicants turned down by the army doctors
Yet this is age when everyone is supposed to be
devoting his time to the ruination of his health.
1t that the nation still is filled with fit-to-
fight manhood and, perhaps better still. with man.
hood that is willing to fight. These simmer camps
arc proving grounds for testing our military
strength potential and real. With our regular army
organizations skeletonized, and some existing only
on paper. the bulk Of power in emergency would
rest with the national guard and the organized re-
serve.
There were thousands of men who wanted to 60
to summer camps this year and were cheated by an
insufficient appropriation The nation was cheated
too Tor there is other single influence which so
effectively gives appreciation of the highest obli-
cations Of citizenship.

Music PUPILS Excel

Students of music 25 per cent more efficient
in their school work than children who have never
taken any music lessons, it is shown in an exhaus-
tive analysis of school grades Of Springfield, Mo-,
high school pupils made by the Conn Music Center
at Elkhart, Ind. Music study was found not only
to improve the grades, but also to rank high as a
mental stimuant in other ways
More than 20 per cent of the Bats students in the
high and junior high schools of Springfield have
studied music for six months or more. The general
average Of the grades of the Springfield high schools
was found to be 80 per cent while the average for
those studying music three points higher. Since
10 is the minimum grade and 82 the general aver
age there is dfferentia Of only IL points, and the
actual superiority Of the three points on the part Of
the music students in their general school work ind
Gates an approximate increase in efficiency Of rs
per cent.
Of the pupils studying music, by far the largest
number take piano. Violin is next in favor and cor.
net clarinet, saxophone and trombone follow in the
order named.
The relation Of wealth to music was brought out
as an interesting sidelght Of the analysis. The
Reed junior high school, located in the poorer sec
ton OF Springfield, had three per cent more pupils
taking music than the jarrett junior high school.
which Is located in the wealthy section Of the
city.

Mott. "Also, it must be remembered,
that Miss Moore's finger-prints are
on the broken bottle which was used
as the weapon of DEATH"
"Mine are there, too, ] am told"
exclaimed Larry Inman.
"Yes. but yours are. over those Of
Miss Moore-superimpos upon
hers. This, as you can't help seeing,
proves that the bottle was first used
by Miss Moore, rs q deadly weapon,
and aftervtard picked up or ex-
amined by Mr.. Inman. Perhaps he
was present at the time. and wrested
It from Miss Moore's hand, thus
leaving his prints above her own.
Now, the matter of the vanity case.
II has been proved to the satisfac-
ton Of the police, that the makeup
on Mrs. Heath's face was applied
after she was dead, and also that the
materials used arc the same as those
in Miss M0Ore's vanity case. It is
further assumed. though of course
this cannot be = matter Of actual
proof, that the color was applied by
either woman or an artist. Had
an intruder, such as q burglar or
midnight marauder, committed this
crime, he would not, probably could
not, have applied that makeup with
such q degree of skill and artistic
taste. But an artist could do it, or
Ia woman could do it! Miss Moore,
lid you apply the cosmetics to Mrs.
Heath's dead FACET ia.
Mott intended this as Q bold
stroke. He turned suddenly and
faced Bunny with his question,
spoken in q brutal, threatening tone,
and accompanied by stern. accus.
ing glare.
BuuAy turned white, attempted to
speak. then swayed in her seat. and

"Yes," Bunny said, family.
She helplessly dropped the re-
ceiver. and buried her face in her

her throat.
Mott grasped the receiver, but his
"hello!" was answered only by a
mocking laugh, and a jeering 'gOod-
by.
THAT was Heath" he said, with
conviction.
Mott called Central, and immedi-
ately had an investigation ordered
that must result in knowledge Of
where the telephone message came
from, at any rate.
Then, the detective turned to Bun

"All right. I will, Miss Moore. Ar

The Philippine Survey

The survey Of the Philippines being carried on by
Carmi A. Thompson, President C6olidge's represen-
tative is beginning to bear fruit in an impartial re-
port on just what the conditions are in the Phlip
pines and just how much sentiment there is there for
complete independence of the islands, Heretofore
every report OH the islands was biased either in
favor OF one side or the other. Mr. Thompson's re-
port, however, is impartial, and it indicates what il
undoubtedly the true status of Philippine politics.
His conclusion far is that the islands them
selves do not want and not ready for complete
independence and that the only real sentiment for
independence can be found in Manila, where the
movement is well organized. In other words there
IS small group of men in Manila who would try
TO wrest the islands from American domination so
Is TO exploit them for their own gain.
MIR. Thompsons report does not say Just that. but
spade can still be called spade II the majority
Of the islanders do not want independence, that is
one thing; if they do, that is another
q course there is another angle to consider. and
that Is that the islanders are comparatively unedu-
Gated This would permit more weight to Be siven
