THE worlds most delicious humor
l. for February is the requirement
Of the government of Hungary that
professional beggars pay income tax.
America has her professional beg
gars, but they are corporate, rather
than personal; they are the great
combinations which beg for high
tariffs when they need them not.

If we are going to have regular
mail service between the United
States and Panama and other
points south, we should build a
floating landing base for planes in
the Caribbean sea midway between
Cuba and Panama.
This would save thousand miles
and avoid the perilS of flying over
500 miles of Nicaraguan jungle.

WOrLd-W Order

.NUT here where ships converge
~ from every great port Of the
world, where foreign goods are to be
seen on every hand and the sight of
foreign flags is an every day oc-
currence, where much Of the current
talk swings around exports and i'm
ports and where foreign trade is not
overshadowed so completely by do
mestiC commerce, it is possible to get
a clearer idea of how the interests of
all nations are being relentlessIy
knit together.
A nations prosperity, nations
right to take advantage of those
comforts and conveniences which
modern life affords, no longer are
confined to its territorial possessions.
Mechanical power has engulfed
them all.
Colonies, no matter how nuIner-
Gus. or far flung. can no longer be
accepted as guaranteeing an ade-
quate supply of raw materials, or an
adequate market for home products,
Trade, as created by machinery,
and as made possible by modern
methods Of transportation and COM
munication. has revolutioniZed the
situation. Those inalienable rights
of which Thomas Jefferson spoke
have become dependent on the re-
sources of the world. That COM
mercial structure, to which we look
for work, wages. and the pursuit
of. happiness, has become a world
affair. and can not function. with
out a reasonable degree Of world
wide order.
There are Just two ways of main
tanning a reasonable degree Of world
wide order. One is by force, indie
pendent and imperialistic. The other
is by co-operation, in which all viii
have a voice.

All Of us are little sad because the things we
read in our beautiful childhood books did not turn
out to be true. We wanted to believe them.

To Complete the Record

President Coolidge lately has stressed the idea that
his administrations have liquidated the financial and
other national problems left by the World In
the main that is true. But at least one thing has
been overlooked.
About 1900 citizens convicted under the espionage
act still are denied their rights of citizenship They
can not vote, hold Office, juries We re-
spectfuIy commend these citizens to the fair consd
Grafton of the President who has the power by proc
lamation to restore their rights.
The only offense of which these persons were
guilty was to speak or write against the These
are not the conscientious DIRECTORS, who tried
by military courts and did not lose their citizenship
rights.
mot one of these espionage act cases involved an
act of violence" the American Civil Liberties Union
points out in a review of the 1.-THE few cases
of real spies convicted during the war; of persons
charged with acts of violence, we're brought under
other laws"
Recognizing that hystera had been responsible in
many of these cases for extreme sentence the fed
eral government as early as 1919 reduced the sem
fences of about 200. Soon after Coolidge took Office
he freed those remaining in prison. But their civil
disabilities still operate to punish them
After a man opposed to violence has paid for the
privilege of utterng the truth he it by serving
a prison sentence with criminals and then has lost

rather barbarous to keep on Furnishing him in
definitely?
The right of free speech is fundamental guaran-
teed by our constitution The theory of setting aside
that right in war time that temporary emergency
requires sencing the few for the safety of the many
Whatever the merits of that theory neither any
other theory justify the penalizing of such free
speech ten years after the emergency has passed.
In similar cases after the Civil war, citizenship
rights were restored by presidential proclamation And
of course eventually such action will be taken for
the benefit of the present 1900.
But would it not be fitting if the President, who
is proud of liquidating other World problems
should make this gracious gesture? 1t is not only i'm
portant to the few citizens concerned, it is important
for the record of America.

Fashions for Men

TLOTHES are ever so important
~ to a man. One has but to see
that male on the clubhouse porch
and in the locker room to note the
difference.
don't think that is true of woln-
en-, although I must admit that I
have never been in ladies' locker
room.
Of course, some women do pre-
tord a great dependence upon frills
of all sorts.
Occasionally a pretty girl will say,
when surprised in an old balbriggan
house gown, Il know I look q
fright" And in such cases it is very
hard to convince them.
I always make point of saying,
why, you don't look 50 terrible"
but even that doesn't seem to sat-.
isfy them.
It is curious that women are sol
much concerned with their looks.
They do not seem to realize that
what a man looks for first in al
woman is character and that all the
rest is unimportant.
In Palm Beach I tried to pay a
rather pretty girl a compliment and
she showed no appreciation Whatso-
ever. After an unlucky night at
roulette 1 remarked: Miss Edna,
have scheme to get my money
back. They are going TO have a
beauty contest down here and I
intend to take every nickel can
beg or borrow and put it on you
for third"
"They tell me-" 7 added that I
can get as much as so to for my
money"
She seemed, curiously enough, ia
be offended. which was entirely silly,
because there really wasn't any
beauty show at Palm Beach. I VA
