WASHINGTON, D. C.-This has
been another hard week for the Off
GERS, friends, associates, and members
of the dear old Democratic party. For
months they have been slowly work
ing from the paper collar to the real
linen stage Of attire and w~istfully ap-
pealing TO the public for recognition
of the fact that they have ceased
gurgling their soup, and know how
to use plain table cutlery, all in anti
cipation of their coming out party
in 1928. AS a result a new batch Of
Columbia university professors who
were thinking of joining the socialist
party had half intimated they might
join up with them for a trial trip at
least. Then just as everything was
getting set, their star performers be-
gan to cut up disgracefully under the
big top and gloom again OvershadOws
party councils.
In Albany, "Al" Smith, whose
chances depend absolutely on his
adoption of the role of the ideal
small boy in being seen but not heard,
jumped over the traces to advise the
country at large he was going to be
the best governor ever, so good a gov
ernor that the southern Democrats
would have to nominate by acclama-
ton whether they wanted to or not
Then Brother McAdoo, who is. sup

to die March 4 of this year, the enact.
ment of a sane tax bill before that
date is absolutely impossible and in
asmuch as Democratic experiences IN
governmental activities have always
led to deficits rather than SURPRISES,
the worry of the Republicans over the
bill these gentlemen might produce
is justified.
That was the thought behind the
speech which Green Of Iowa (Repub-
lican) recently made:
"Mr. Speaker" he said, cit is not
at all strange that the Democratic
party has become muddled over the
surplus. 1t has never had any ex-
perience with a surplus when it was
in charge of affairs" (Laughter)
Deficits and bond issues" Green
said, shave been a Democratic spec
ialty. This has been true from as
far back as the days Of Grover
Cleveland. Nobody ought to expect
the Democrats to know what to dc
with a surplus and hardly anybody
does. We have only to take the ad
vice of the Democratic leaders to enc
with the usual Democratic accomplish
ment-a deficit. = 1 can imagine

NO FUNDAMENTALLY BAD BOYS

There is no such thing as a fundamentally bad
boy; there are only bad parents" is the declar-
alton of Dan Beard, T-year old wOOdcraftsman
and highest ranking uniformed officer of the
million or more boys and men of the Boy Scouts
of America.
Mr.. Beard relates numerous instances of boys
who have responded to the Scout code of honor.
Boy Scouts, he says, showed the highest average
in a recent scientific honesty test in public and
private schools.
The community and you and l." Mr.. Beard
asserts with conviction, "are responsible for every
young man in prison."
Scout Commissioner Beard is a man who is
temperamentally equipped to deal with and under
stand youth and it's problems. He has for many
years been in close contact with thousands of
boys in the Scout organization. His opinions are
entitled to respect, and should be given serious
thought.

Thinking is always important, but
there are times when life depends
upon it.
This is one of those times.
The Mexican question has reached
the point when to misunderstood j.
is criminal, to ignore it is suicide.
1t has been disguised as a border
bandit question, as a Catholic perse-
cution question, as a Nicaraguan re-
bellion question. It is no longer dis
guised. 1t is an oil question, a ques-
ton of the rights Of Americans in
Mexico; and among the Americans
whom it most definitely concerns are
DOheny and Sinclair. The American
people are once more facing the stark
naked issue Of Imperialism.
Both sides now agree that there has
never been any real border-band.t
question. That was a trick to secure
United States Intervention in the af.
fairs of Mexico.

To these questions the Coolidge ad-
ministration replies that United
States property must be defended at
all costs whether it IS located in the
United States, Mexico, or TimbuctOO;
that we are the proper guardians Of
the peace in North and South Amer
lea, and that Europe will not NEEDLE.
We are right, we are powerful, and
we will not get into trouble.
The liberals reply that United
States property is only United States
property when it is located in the
United States, that each nation must
be the proper authority in the mak-
ing of its Owl laws, and that our in
reference in Mexico will bring upon
us the wrath of Japan and Europe
and plunge US not into a Mexican
war, but into a world war.

VOICES APPROVAL

Enthusiastic approval of the suggestion, which
first appeared in the editorial columns of The
Courier, that the much-talked-of memorial to
Montana pioneers take the form of a modern
home wherein any of them who desired might
pass "the days of their setting suns" in peace and
comfort, is voiced by the Butte Miner.
What is more fitting" says the Miner, "than
for the legislature of a great commonwealth like
Montana to endeavor to spread all the sunshine
and comfort possible into the few remaining years
of the lives of its pioneers, those heroes of the
years ago who may be in want in the dimming
eventide? ****
why not combine a practical idea with memoir
ial sentiment and the legislature provide for the
building and maintenance of a nome for Montana
pioneers? The sun is setting fast in the lives of
these fine old builders of the territory, and the
end of the long, long trail is not so far distant in
the haze of the land beyond but that time can
be dallied with and comforts extended them.
Every winter sees a bent figure in this town
or in that village throughout the state, valiantly
holding up and greeting all with a smile. 1t is
evident the struggle the old pioneer is making,
but he halls from the finest fighting stock God
ever found in man and sent Montana-ward in the
years now vanished into history. Pride is one
of the outstanding qualities of these sturdy trail
blazers, and that pride today is still evident.
They are not asking anything, but their want is
apparent.
"The state of Montana owes these pioneers 3
debt of gratitude it never can hope adequately tt
pay; what it can do within it's power to make lif,
easier and more homelike for them, should afforC

sideration for the welfare of those whom "
should honor, and do more good than a row {

If the Coolidge doctrine is right,
American oil men are as much en-
titled to protection when they are
charged with stealing Mexican oil as
when they are charged with stealing
Elk Hills and Teapot Dome oil. Their
capital has the same right to be de-
Tended by the blood of our sons when
they invest it in Mexico as when they
invest it in home industries. Wher-
ever they choose to go we must follow
them with our armies and protect
their property. When We do this we
must ignore danger and expense. If
our European debtors choose the IN
happy moment of a Mexican war to
attack US by airplane, against which
we have no defense, we must submit
to the will of God. We are doing our
duty.
If the liberals are right, we must
tell the United States investors in
Mexico that they must submit to the
laws of Mexico, that we will leave our
citizens property d~efenseless in Mex
icO-defenseless everywhere in the
world-except by the laws of the
country in which the investment is
made. We must tell Europe that the
Monroe Doctrine merely means that
Europe must keep out of Central and
] South America-not that we will go
in. We must commit ourselves ir-
. IrevOcably to a policy opposed to for
eign conquest, and we must lose
whatever profits we might gain by
, the sword, and trust for our foreign
earnings, to our ability to offer bar
j., gains.

Think, or Fight

Both sides now agree that the Mex
lean laws aaginst foreign-born priests
were not a proper cause for anti-Mex-
lean demonstrations in the United
States. That was a propaganda that
failed here.
Both sides now agree that previous
to January 10, 1927, the United States
never at any time had need for ap-
prehension as to the friendliness of
Nicaragua. The presidents statement
of January 10 made that perfectly
clear that the object Of our imperial
ism is Mexico.
Neither side agrees with the other
upon either of the two great ques-
tions raised by the issue Of imperial.
ism.
These two great questions are
1. Have we a right to dominate
Mexico?

J again involve US in a world war?

Magnifed Edge of
New Unstropped Blade

So many men think they don't need a
Twinplex because they only use new
blades. They don't realize that NEW
blades need stropping quite as much a.
old blades.
The edge Of any razor blade, NEW or
old, is made up of tiny teeth, invisible
to the naked eye. These teeth are so
fine and sensitive that temperature
changes often get them out of align
ment. When this happens they would
look, under a powerful microscope,
something like the illustration above.
Imagine shaving with such an edge. 1t
would be impossible were the teeth not
so tiny. But they are so very small the
edge actually looks smooth, and one
can shave with it, though not very
comfortably. No doubt you've had a
blade pull, and leave your face sore.
Now you know why. ~
A Twinplex will smooth these invisible
teeth back into line, giving the blade a
pe:fect cutting edge so that it glides
over your face like piece of velvet.

Hits Smart Scribblers."
An attack on the o-called 'intelli-
gentsia" was made by the Rev. Robert
l. Cannon, S. j., of Woodstock Col
lege yesterday morning in his bacca-
laureate sermon to the Georgetown
seniors. 4 blatant and presumptuous
group" recruited from the ranks of
college professors and smart scrlb-
blers,' he warned, are endangering the
American point of view with regard
to marriage, children, authority and
religion.
Despite the fact that contemporaries
crowd the temple of this new cult
and give it the air of youthful move
ment," Father Cannon declared, blame
for this period of intellectual smart
ness does not rest on the shoulders
of the young men and women of the
postwar period.
Chief among the causes for this
period of 'grotesque thought" he
claimed, may be found the deplorable
popularity of higher education and
the confusion with regard to its aims.
when the public of the last genera
ton became obsessed with the idea
that any one able to pay tuition should
carry a degree" he said, sit seemed
as though the American colleges took
the essence of real learning and added
hot water indefinitely to make it go
around"

The Easiest
Stropper To Use

1t is so easy to strop blade on Twin
pick. You simply slip the blade in and
turn the handle. It is the only stropper
that strops both edges at once. At
every turn Twinplex strops first one side,
then the other, just as barber does,
and just as expertly. Thirty seconds
and all edges are as keen as fine razors
can be. There are no adjustments to
make, no screws to turn, no bladel to
reverse-everything is automatic. You
can't go wrong-you can't fail to i'm
prove even a NEW blade. And that
new blade, if stropped before each
shave, will keep on giving you wonder
full shaves, day after day, for so long
that you will be amazed.

Soon Pays For Itself
