Dignifed Leisure.
(Cincinnati Enquirer )

Ciceros insistenee that class of dgnihed leisure was absolutely essential to the well-Delhg of weIl-ordered State in no sense contemplaleu idleness either individual collective; nor, II may be believed. did it contemplated class or dilettante workers or dreamers.
 What the great Roman had in view was the fact that the hest work can be done only when divorced from the retarding influences Of sordid necessity.
 This idea is wonderfully emphasized in the life cf Justice Wendell Holmes, who this week celebrated-by working as usual-his twenty sixth year as an Associate Justice of the United States.
 This eighty-seven-y -year-old Jurist, still serv- ing efficiently on the bench of the worlds great est Court finds in congenial work the inspiration and anodyne of worthy existence. His opinions form conspicuous and valuable part of the body of the Nations law. They prove that in dgnifed leisure may be found the assurance of that ap- plicaton of justice which is constructive and enduring His family heritage and his associa- tions have made him also a master of English. He is a cultured man in other fields than the law. He lives modestly but well. His library is shrine in which there are many altars- shrines devoted to the worship of masterpieces of art, science and literature. At these he pays his untroubled devotions, because in the wisdom of our constitutional provision he has the time, the leisure, to cultivate his mind and enrich his soul free from those demands and exactons which harass multitudes of who otherwise might become benefactors of their times and the
 son of America's perhaps most kindly poet seeks the repose and inspirations of nature, where. on the farm, he finds among homely scenes and ssociations--among trees and flowers-that his uncompromisng adherence to the principles of liberalty and tolerance bring the serenties of benediction to his soul. Here he rests renews his strength in dignifed adaptation to the old Roman philosophe's vision.

WISDOM IN THE UNITED STATES
 SENATE.

For some reason--or for many reasons-many people slow to give Senator Borah credit for wise and constructive statesmanship. They ex- pect him to dashing into the Senate like a wild and wooly cowboy and to shoot first and afterward if at all However he is not always that way, and his success in getting an agreement in the Senate to give the anti-war treaty the right of way and consideration sep arate from the 15-crusers measure a display of real leadership of a statesmanlike character. great deal has been said about the 15-cruisers proposal and seemingly sound arguments have been made for and against the program. It is matter to be threshed out in the Senate where the evidence pro and may be weighed by Senators before they vote and by the people of the country. Sound policy or otherwise, it ought not to be hooked up with the Kellogg Pact. and it ought to be delayed until after the Kellogg treaty is acted upon. If the Kellogg treaty should be ratified it probably will be- the adoption of President Cooldges plan for building fifteen powerful cruisers could be construed by no country as threat upon the peace of the world. It would then be accepted. it is offered. a program for American development that is re- garded by this country necessary. It would be further guarantee of peace rather than a menace and would, in the end, be so regarded
 In yielding to Senator Borahs urge that the peace treaty and the naval construction program may be considered separately, and the peace treaty first Senator Moses exhibited commendable wisdom.
