A Real Honor Roll

American cities vie in many ways for distinction.
They boast of being the biggest automobile centers,
the greatest steel manufactures, the biggest bank

to inscribe it's name.
This list is made up of cities which passed an

Daily Health

Human beings ali over the world
have, since time inlmemoria1, regu-
larly used drugs Of one type or an
other for various purposes.
The natives of South America
chewed coca leaves because they
believed that this relieved fatigue.
Actually it gives dose Of cocain
sufficient to abolish hunger and
to give sense of euphoria or we'll

the habit is injurious to health. Ma
tives of the Orient chew the betel
nut for the same purpose. 1t has
been estimated that one-tenth of all
human beings in the world indulge
in this habit.
The use Of opium and its deriva-
tive, morphine, and the use OF cocain
are addictions apparently difficult to
overcome once they are established,
and apparently dependent to a large
extent on weakness of the will as
well as on some changes brought
about in the body by the habitual
use of the substance.
Tea and coffee contain caffein
as their chief drug. 1t has been
said Of coffee that it is the drink
which cheers but not inebriates. 1t
is a stimulant to the higher brain
centers; it quickens the pulse and
relieves the sense of fatigue.
The amount of caffein in cup
of coffee or cup of tea is usually
sufficient to produce the drug ef-
fects. 1t is not habit-forming in
the same sense. as are opium and
cocain. The best scientific evil

Editorial Comment
The Associated Press
New York .Times)

The annual meeting of The Associated Press in
this city this week should be made the occasion of
better public understanding of the nature of this
news gathering organization. 1t is sometimes
ignorantly spoken Of as press monopoly. No word
could be wider of the TRUTH 1t is fooshy said that
The Associated Press breads competition. On the
contrary, it welcomes it and thrives by it. This is
due to the fact that it is body of some 1900 news
papers in all parts of the United States, represent
ing all parties all religions, all sections, and bound
together merely for the sake Of the collection and
mutual exchange of news. It is not privately
owned or money making concern. All the profits
derived are at put back into the business for
the sake Of strengthening it. This makes it unique
in the principles of its organization and removes it
from the temptations which beset proprietary news
services

bias color from partisanship personal interest
that has been the standard of The Associated
Press from its beginnings, and remains so today.
To keep that purpose clear in the eyes OF all news
paper readers, and to broaden the organization in
every useful way, many men of recognized ability
have for years given devoted service to The As
ISOLATED Press as directors and managers. To name
them all would be to call the roll of most of the
distinguished newspaper men Of the past thirty
years. In their labors for The Associated Press
they have had no thought of individual advance
ment have had no axes to grind-indeed, their con-
slant effort has been to prevent any corpora
ton or political party from grinding an axe by
means of The Associated Press-and have simply
given their time and strength to upholdng and per-
fecting agency which in its spirit and method
is the very ideal Of fraternity Of newspapers work.

SOcialism-Or What?

The sociastic doctrine of yesterday is the main

a radical in the gay ninctes finds himself classed
as tory in the year 1927.
It wasn't so long ago that could have the
department of justice casting eyes upon him sim
ply by suggesting publicly, that coal mines
ought to be owned by the government.
But today? Well, the current issue Of the Mag
azine of Wall Street has lengthy article discuss
ing that very queston-and the article is highly
]. sympathetic toward the PROPOSAL
TN this article it is stated that not only the coal
miners, but the mine operators WELL would well
come government ownership Of the coal mines.
And this is a publication by, Of and for Wall
Street!
The article goes into the coal mining situation
thoroughly. 1t shows that during the twenty years
between 1905 and 1925, there was only one year in
which there were less than $4,000 coal miners on
strike at time or another. 1t asserts that
these longdrawn-out disputes have resulted in vic.

days really expects victory.
In fact, the whole of this Wall Street article
is favorable to the government ownership PROPOSE

It would take altogether too much space to dis
government ownership intelligently here. Tn.
point we are trying to make is this: Our socia
and economic creeds are changing faster than W,

soft coal industry. Now we find Wall Stree

Old Masters

From too much love Of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be,
That no life lives forever:
The dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.
Then star nor sun shall waken,
Nor any change Of light;
Nor sound of waters shaken;
Nor any sound or sight;
Nor wintry leaves nor vernal,
Nor days nor things diurnal;
Only the sleep eternal
In an eternal night.

* b FRANCE y. 4 49, =.

While the Crown Prince was in
Stenay he paid court to French
girl. And, it is said, he did q very
good job Of wooing. When the Ameri-
can soldiers arrived the girl was
pointed out. So, in larking mood.
q squad Of the Texas plainsmen took
the girl and bodied her hair COM
pletely.
Bobbed hair was quite the GO,
then, in The States. But not in
France. Particularly in the style
which the Texans applied. They
did real, honest-to-Texas job Of
shearing.
She Wasn't Popular
It was sort of q mean trick. too.
For the young woman's standing
in Stenay society was badly dislOt
Gated. She didn't remain long in
town. just few days later she dis
appeared.
Most anyone in Stenay will vouch
for this yarn-even supplying the
name of the girl. Perhaps there are
so ;" bon American soldats out where
the West begins who could offer some
excellent testimony in the matter,
too, If they were so disposed. Any
way, it's about the best yarn available
on the Crown Prince.

They'd BE Poor Students

Abraham Lincoln Thomas jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin and Grover Cleveland would never get de-
!, grees from American colleges if they were young
men today says Professor Whittlesey of Princeton.
lie explains himself thus:
Lincoln probably wouldn't go to college ut all
because of the expense. If he did his mind would
have outrun all bounds and been unwelcome in the
average university"
Cleveland had a very slow and deliberate habit
of mind, and lacked the glbness and quickness de-
mandcd by modern instructors.
Franklin and jefferson would probably be ex-
PEELED very early in their college careers because
they would not abide by the restraints placed OIL
modern students
One mans guess on all of this is good an
others, no doubt. 1t does if the professor
had, in the language Of the day, said something.
Just what it proves, however, is another matter.
At first glance his statement would seem to i'm
ply a sharp criticism of modern educational
institutions. And, doubtless, these institutions
have many faults, which it would be easy to emu
merate at considerable length
Yet their supposed inability to cope with youths
like Lincoln. jefferson, Franklin and Cleveland
doesn't prove much Of anything except that genius
is always hard to handle.
Lincoln or a jefferson is separated from the
rest Of US by wide gulf-a gulf that is as wide
in youth as it is in manhood. He is not normal
and never can be; will not and cannot abide by the
rules and formulas that the rest of US live by. We
never understand him. Often enough we dislike
md suspect him. But he ends by leading and
helping to shape the course of our civilization.
Professor Whttlesey may be right in what ht
says; he probably is.
But it doesn't necessarily mean that our colleges
and universities all wrong.

Something to Remember

q special issue Of two-cent postage stamps will
: Be printed this summer to commemorate the defeat
Of Burgoyne's army at Saratoga during the Revolu-
ton.
This is good idea: The great struggles Of the
World War-the titanic combats at Chateau Thierry
and St. Mhiel-have rather overshadowed those bat
~ 0f long ago. Saratoga's total casualty list looks
small compared with that Of even minor engage
ment on the western front; but we should not let
that make US forget Saratoga's Importance.
The victory ct Saratoga was one Of the most inn
portant victories American troops ever won. It's
well that we don't forget it.
