The World and All
OUR AGE
By Charles P. Driseon

Some gentleman from Alabama, in a widely pub
lished interview, deplored the trends of these times
with a rather convincing line Of conversation. He
was sad about our coming cruiser fleet, and disillu-
stoned because it seemed that anti-war treaties really
amount to nothing. He cited the circumstance that
where men formely were brave, they are now ingen-
'ious. Where they once went forth in hosts to kill one
another in hand-to-hand combat, they now sit IN
laboratories and devise cunning instruments to do
the killing.
Somehow I couldn't share the pessimism Of the
gentleman from Alabama.
It's all right to be disillusioned. But you shouldn't
your illusions. Don't let either illusions or diSillu-
|sions get a strange hold on you.
It's true that disarmament treaties don't mean
much. They mean a lot of publicity for the states
man who happens to be framing and unraming them
at the moment. They mean careers or a few ambi-
tious politicians. But as to stopping war. of course
we're all too grown up to imagine that they do that.
But what Of it? Let's not worry about the. treaties.
If you don't take the illusion Of everlasting peace on
earth that is just around the corner too seriously,
you won't have much of a headache when you find
that nations go on building fighting machines after
signing treaties. That's just the kind of world we
live in, and not a bad world at that.
Now. as to bravery that has passed and ingenui-
lty that has taken its place. I can't see for the life
of me how ingenuity is any less noble than bravery.
In fact. I think ingenuity and inventiveness are much
more civilized than bravery that seeks its ~justifica-
ton in the lannon's mouth.
A civilized person looks out for his skin. He not
only keeps it from ~chapping by using a widely adver-
tised cold cream, but he keeps it whole by sidestep-
ping all shooting matches and sword-plays. He sits
in his studio and thinks up better ways to live his
life and keep on living. He uses remote control in
carrying on his battles. Far more civilized than the
brave barbarian who was always wanting to knock
somebody's head off with a large oaken club.

Betty looked up the doctors num-
Der in the telephone book and ar
ranged with his secretary for an
examination at three o'clock the
following day. When Betty went
she found the large office filled. A
glance around the room seemed to
indicate there had been an earth
quake in the city. Men, women and
children had arms and legs ban
daged. One child had a curious
brace on which his chin rested, and
another on the back of his head.
Later, Betty discovered his neck
was broken.
When a nurse signaled to her she
was ushered into an X-ray room,
where a young doctor punctured
her knee and pumped air into 1t
till it swelled up like a toy balloon.
Then another doctor took X-ray
pictures of it. The whole process
had been extremely painful. Bet
ty asked the nurse to call up
George Harris and tell him she
could not come back to work that
day.
She wondered when she would
hear from the doctor. On this call
she had met only his secretary, the
young doctor, the X-ray doctor and
his nurse.

ed into the restaurant. Wont have

Moses is consistent, anyhow. So

That is to say. those are the cpl

Now, Senator Burton distinctly is

He also is a dyed-in-the-wooi

Senator Burton's pacifism is far

When the regulars rally in sup

How much will it cost?" asked
Betty.
More than it is worth, You'll
have to be there at least a week.
Eight dollars a day for a room,
about twenty more for the anes-
thetic and the operating room and
six a day for a nurse for five or
six days. Oh. we a get it inside

"Yes, but your fee! How much
will that be?"

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Herbert Hoover, President

Elevated to the presidency on a wave of great pop
ularity. Herbert Hoover, who today was inaugurated
president of the United States, enters upon his duties
with national conditions, both political and economic,
more suspicious than at any time in recent years.
While the American people are fully cognizant of
the fact that the political party responsible for the
election Of Hoover is more interested in the spoils of
office than in the national welfare. they believe that
the new president will prove far superior to his party;
that IN the discharge of his duties as chief executive
he will display the same rare abilities, conservatism
and good judgment which marked his years of serv-
ice as secretary of commerce and as food administra-
tor under Woodrow Wilson during the World war.
Hoover was not the choice of the spoIs element
Of the republican party. He was selected as the
party leader, because the organization realized the
party was in desperate straits. To win the election
they were compelled to place in the field a man in
whom the American people of all political faiths had
confidence, and Hoover's nomination and election
was the result.
All the firmness and determination which Hoover
displayed as secretary of commerce will be needed to
Withstand the assaults of the spoils hunters. In the
selection of his cabinet, the president indicate that
his own judgmen would prevail, but whether he will
be able to maintain this attitude of independence
only the future can disclose. Every a~rtifice and in
fluence of the professional politician will be directed
toward making the Hoover administration a replica
of that of President Harding. 1t is within the ranks
of his own party that President Hoove's gravest dan
ger lies. and all Of the presidents firmness will be
required to ward off that danger.
The success of the Hoover administration will not
depend so much upon the policise promulgated or
the legislation enacted as upon the ability Of the
president to hold in check the spoils element within
his party. The spirit of greed. which held sway with
out restraint when the republicans were swept into
office In 1920, but which has been mildly checked In
recent years, merely awaits the first break in the
bsrricade to swarm through and capture the admin
i5tration.

TO PREVENT HAsTY MARRIAGES
Beaumont EnterpriSe).

The new marriage law enacted by the state legis-
lature may be ridiculed in other parts of the country,
it may meet with some objections in Texas, but its
provisions are wise. Persons desiring to marry will
be required to file a notice of their intention in the
office of the county clerk and wait three days before
obtaining a license. Men will also be required to
show a medical certificate.
1t is believed that by making marriages a little
harder many hasty and unfortunate mar
riages among young people will be prevented, espe-
cially the kind Of union that is the elimination OF a
drinking bout or a joy ride.
That part of the law which provides for the filing
of a declaration of intention to marry" is not OBJ
jectionable. Couples who take their marriage VOWS
seriously and propose to enter the welded state after
due thought and elaboration will find the wait OF
three days no inconvenience. now that they know the
delay is unavoidable and may make their arrange
ments accordingly. Neither is the placing OF a legal
barrier in the way of hasty marriages an abuse OF
the legislative authority.

SENATOR FROM OHIO A PO-
LITICAL ANOMALY
By CHARLES p. STEWART

WASHINGTON, March Sit is
natural to think Of an independent
politician as a radical, not a con-
servative. Yet a very ultra-con-
servative can lean back so far as
to overdo it, even in the opinion OF
ordinary conservatives.
This, for instance, is a conserva-
tive country.
To be conservative is to be reg
ular."
A conservative, however, who is
too conservative for the majority
is just as truly irregular as the
radicals are. That is, they are
independents both ways.
To illustrate, it astonishes no
body to hear Senator George w.
Norris, Nebraska, referred to as an
independent" Eyes, sure" all
hands will agree, "he's a radical
But mention Senator George Fl.
Moses of New Hampshire. as an
independent" and back will come
the reaction, ooh, no, he's very con-
servatice."
He is, indeed Moses is too con-
sentative for most of the c~onserva-
tives.
Norris is radically independent
and Moses is conservatively indie
pendent. The one is about as in
dependent as the other.
There is this difference
The regulars, being conservative
by nature, are more afraid of an
independent radical than of an in
dependent conservative.
They feel that the radicals are
pushing ahead dangerously.
If an ultra-conservative fingers
too far In the rear it is a nuisance
sometimes. but it involves no rea'
peril. Thus, at any rate, argue
the regulars.
They heartily and sincerely wish
