Hello! Here's Hiram again.
Philadelphia Inquirer)


 Hellol Just see who's with again. Why, to be sure it's Hiram-Johnson, Hiram w., and all dressed up in war paint and war bonnet and brandishing a tomahawk And what's the matter with Hiram now? Oh, he's only on another char acteristic scalp p-liftng rampage He gets that way now and then This time he has set out to say the friends of the World Court who would have the United States join it in the interest of univer- sal peace. It seems very dreadful thing to Hiram that this Nation should have anything to do with peaceful settlements He is very much like Sena- tor William E. Borah in some respects. Both of them have brilliant minds which are apt to take curious turnings. This is of the occasions. <
 There is no good reason earth why we should not join the World Court. It is tribunal of peace It exerts no power. 1t renders opinions when opin ions are sought in orderly manner Its aim is arbitration There is not a threat in it, not the shadow of a menace. It is purely and wholly con- Structive, and with such constructive group of jurists should cooperate. Mir Johnson appears to believe that by doing would destroy independence. What independence? What would he have do? Pay attention to the movement for the maintenance of peace? Go own way? Where would such leave us? A Nation sufficient unto itself: Nation claiming the privi- lege to do precisely what it likes without regard to the rights of others
 That is dangerous proposition Ours would become a sort of buccaneer government inviting and receiving and deserving the disrust of civil ized countries.

MICHIGAN RELENTS.

The Michigan Legislature has amended the State Penal Code so that Prohibition offenders will no longer be sent to the penitentiary for life The amending act does not impair the Michigan hab- tual-criminal law That will still provide for life i'm prsonment as habitual criminals of those who may be for the fourth time convicted of serious crime, It recognizes, however, that the people will not stand for sending violators of the Volsead Act ,o prison for life.
 Gov Green has announced that the two cases where people have been sent to the penitentiary for life for violating Prohibition laws will have their sentences committed One of these cases was that of the mother of ten children who sent up for life for selling pint of gin This is the case that has excited comment throughout the United States and which brought out everywhere severe condemnation of Dr. Clarence True Wilson for defending the severity of the punishment Dr Wilson's only regret that the had not been sent to prison for life before she gave birth to the children. And then, he said it mis- leading to refer to her the mother of ten children for four of them dead and others are supporting themselves so the poor widow had only herself and two or three or four children to earn lvlihood for.
 The action of Michigan in amending her law will be gratifying wherever people are humane

More or Less True


 It's queer how a girl that every body in the community knows will be as pleasant to live with as an earache, can bamboozle some fairly intelligent fellow into believing that life with her will be as near heaven as it's possible to get on this earth
 Many husband gives you the impression his wife was cross-eyed when he started coming around and mistook him for the handsome fel- low she really was looking at.
 You can always tell how inferior a woman really is by the cattiness of the remarks she makes in an eff fort to make her betters feel in- ferior to her.
 It would be possible to endure some people if their tongues were only as idle as their brains.
 A lot of women are for birth control because it isn't possible to report Father and child doing nicely"
 If homes ever were so constructed that by pushing button the house could be swept and dusted some wives would demand their husbands push the button.
 A woman always likes for a man to lie to her before they are mar ried and she would enjoy it just as much afterwards if he would
