the various temperance organizations
throughout the United States to have prohibit
ton law put the statute books, and now,
after being part of the Constitution for nearly
IL years, there is a strong effort to have 1t
abolished and if such effort should prevail,
then in a short while, doubt, there would
be another effort made to have it re-enacted
into law. And so it goes.
There are few temperance organizations at
present in the city, nearly all of them having
gone out of existence, though less than half
century ago there were quite a number here.
They were very wide awake and active, too,
and in many instances had among their mem
bers some Of the foremost citizens Of the Dis
trict who did much toward retaining many q
man and starting him again along the right
road
True. some of those who belonged to these
bodies years ago may not today be particularly
strong for the eighteenth amendment perhaps,
feeling that, after all, the persuasive method
was the best But, irrespective of how they
may or may not feel now on the subject, they
undoubtedly recall with pleasure the wonder
fully enjoyable times they had at the meetings
of some particular organization to which they
belonged when they were of the counting age
or at least much younger than they are today.
Though the first temperance organization in
the United States did not come into existence
until about 1908, yet the temperance question
itself dates back to the very beginning Of the
Republic. In the District of Columbia it was
ag1tated from the beginning, particularly be-
cause Of the number of drinking places then
permitted to exist here, there being at an early
GATE an estimated number Of 256 in Washing
ton, Georgetown and the county or an average
OF one Tor every 80 persons. Mr.. Bryan tells
US that by 1912 the average had become one
hcensed place to every 512 inhabitants fndicat-
ing that at the latter date the situation had
greatly improved

Chemistry Helps Build Healthier Race

In most tables of food values 1t
is customary to include as the main
headings proteins, fats ard carbo-
hydrateS. The rest of the material,
and somestimes the largest part of
it, consists of water, mineral salts
and indigestible material.
For example, milk contains 3.3.
per cent protein, per cent fat, 5
per cent carbohydrate, and the rest
is water and mineral salts.
Meats are rich in protein and fat
and very poor in carbohydrates. In
deed, only the liver contains any
considerable percentage of this sub
stance; namely, about to 2 per
cent.
On the other hand, fruits and
vegetables are rich in carbohydrates,
poor in fat, and contain varying
quantities of protein.
The facts here stated are today
being given to children regularly
in the grade schools, facts which
were not given to their parents in
school when they we're young.
There is no doubt that the future
will find a more healthful race be-
cause of this knowledge.

countries The other Isthian intervention policy,
applies only to Caribbean countries and arises large
ly from United States defense motives.
1t has nothing to do with the Monroe Doctrine,
and must stand or fall on its own merits. In any

Back to Monroe

When Frank B. Kellogg realized that he soon was
to leave the state department and probably never
again enter public Office he apparently tried to undo
some of the mistakes he and his predecessors had
msde.
He wanted to lay the foundations of lasting peace
He chose two methods One was the kellogg pact
for all nations to outlaw war. The other was an
honest restatement of the Monroe Doctrine to re-
move Latin American hatred and fear of the United
States.
His first project did not materialze as he had
hoped Under pressure of Great Britain and certain
niitaristic tendencies in Washington, Kellogg had to
witness the emasculation of his anti-war pact by
sweeping reservations until that treaty became moth
ing more effective than non-binding aspiration
But he had a right to expect results from his
Latin American peace move for there only state
nent by the United States itself involved.
AS most school children know the Washington
government, especially during and after the Roose-
Welt administration. had distorted and misused the
Monroe Doctrine as mandate for intervention in
Latin America against Latin-American governments.
Thus the Monroe Doctrine. which in fact was

the rest of the world the symbol Of alleged Yankee
il pccrisy and imperialism.

Policy Is Absurd

EOR that matter, why should we
l. continue the absurd and i'm
practical policy we have pursued to-
ward Russia during the last ten
years?
1t does not square with the prin-
cipleS on which this republic was
founded, any more than it squares
with those of trade.
The refusal to recognize Russia
without some reasonable agreement
with regard to back debts can be
justified, but the fact that we have
made little or no effort to arrange
such agreement is more difficult to
explain.
AS a general proposition, we have
not hesitated to take the initiative
in composing differences with other
countries.
When it comes to Russia, however,
we seem content to stand coldly
aloof.
What reason can we give for such
an attitude, except pure political
prejudice?

PARNELL'S BIRTH
June q

ON June 81, 1886, Charles Par
" nell, noted Irish statesman and
parliamentary leader, conspicuous
for promoting the cause of home
rule for Ireland, was born at Avon
dale, Ireland, the son Of an old
Protestant family.
After his education at Cambridge
and a period of travel in the United
States, Parnell entered public life
in 1875 as a member of parliament
for Meath. From the outset he
showed remarkable ability for lead
ership in politics and fought for his
principles boldly.
Before two years had passed, Par
nell formed a party of Nationalist
to fight for home rule for Ireland
in all local affairs, and for reform in
the method of land ownership.
He continued his agitation against
the bitter opposition of both the
great English parties until he was
arrested and imprisoned.
After spending year in jail, Par
nell proposed a bill in parliament
to reduce rents, but it was rejected.
just as he was at the height of
political power, he became involved
in divorce case. This proved fatal
to his reputation for, as a result, he
was deposed by the majority of his
party.

Friend of Cars

THIS prejudice stands out in
4 curious contrast to the cordial
relations we formerly maintained
with czarism, which certainly was
as far removed from our ideals and
theories of government as is the
reddest brand of Communism.
AS mater of fact, we have taken
position with regard to Russia
since the revolution of 1917 that is
different from that we ever took
toward any other European coun-
try.
Whatever may be said Of the
reason, the precedent we have es-
tablished is dangerous. Future adj
illustrations could make use Of it
to break off diplomatic relations
with any country whose form of
government they did not like, and
thus set up a new and far-reaching
cause of trouble.

We Are Inconsistent

CUPPOSE Russia did go e little
- farther than we expected, and
suppose we did get all het up over
Bolshevik propaganda. Was it
necessary to upset the customs and
usages that mad worked so well for
more than O. century?
Mussolini went about as far in
the other direction, but we expert
enced no conjunction in giving him
the glad hand.
So, too, we experienced no COM
junction in maintaining friendship
with Rumania though Carol Is back
on the throne, or with any other
country, for that matter, regardless
of what form Of government it has,
or how often that form is altered.
The fact that we can do business
with England, and even marry OF
our daughters to noblemen without
becoming royahsts, suggests that
we might sell Russia a few trifles
without going Bolshevik.
At any rate, the experiment seems
worth making especially in view Of
all we have said regarding goodwill,
freedom of action, the right Of self
determination and other things.

word picture of various sections of
New York life day by day, you ought
to be informed that o. o. Mcintyre
has beaten you to that.
Now that you're columnist, some
theatrical manager or other is
likely to attempt to capitalize your
following by offering you a week in
vaudeville. That's something you'll
have to decide for yourself.
Some say that it's mistake for
any columnist to make a public
appearance of this sort. Others feel
that there's no harm in doing it
once every four or five years, no
matter what Variety says about
you.
But if you must play vaudeville,
insist upon going on ahead of Duke
Ellington and his orchestra. A hot
band like that takes so much out
of the audience that any monologist
who follows will find it hard to get
his laughs.
And you may get a chance at
radio. Take it, is my advice. Don't
try to talk as fast as Floyd Gibbons.
He's bad practice.
AS for your column, mix it up.
Do something frivolous about your
adventures with taxi driver one
day, and the next day give them
the league of nations. A dog or a
farm are good material. And you
fish, don't you? That helps on dull
days.
But, most of all, remember that
New York isn't Washington, and act
accordingly. Calvin, you're in the
big league now at last.

Machines

TOLONEL RORTY'S views give
~ those who decry the so-caued
Machine Age" something to think
about.
There is a school of thought to-
day which sees the collapse of civil
ization in technical development.
They feel that man is becoming a
slave to machines, that the human
race is being standardized, and that
original thought, art, and literature
are being stified by industrial
growth.
Colonel Rorty, on the other hand,
sees the greatest hopes for the fu-
ture in the nigh technical develop
ment of the present.
His view is that technical devel-
opment represents a firm founda-
ton which never collapses.
An age of literature and philoso-
ply, such as the Golden Age of
Greece, comes to an end. But the
next great civilization starts with
the tools of the previous one and
as result is that much ahead
Of it.
Colonel Rorty feels that technical
development has reached so high a
point, and gives promise of so much
future, that there is no reason why
such a collapse as that which ended
Greek civilization ever should occur.
Many authorities will agree with
Colonel Rorty, but will insist upon
making one reservation.
They see great danger to pres
ent civilization in war. They are
not certain but what another cata-
clysm such as the last World war
might so disorganize the world that
it would be q century or more be-
fore it could regain its present
stride.

Greek

DESSIMISTS frequently point to
Il collapse of the Greek civiliza-
ton to show the transitory nature
of earthly glory. But Colonel Rorty
points out something which has
been overlooked.
THE civilization of Greece adj
vanced far beyond the skill of the
Greek people in The use of tools, :"
he continued, but when the Greek
civilization decayed, the tools of
Greece remained N use unchanged.
Rome fell, hut during the en-
suing Dark Ages, when the other
elements of civilization so had van
ished from Europe that the history
of those days hardly can be writ
ten, not one of the tools of Rome
was lost to human use and knowl-
edge.
80, today, we can be very GER
tain that the nation that once has
used locomotives and steamships for
the purposes of its commerce always
will continue to do so; and the peo-
pie that once has flown forever
thereafter will fly the air.
THE ultimate measure of a civ
ilization may lie in it's art, and in
its literature and philosophy. But
the skill of the engineer and tool
maker, of the scientists and in
ventor, builds the firm foundation
upon which alone these refinementS
of civilization may stand and en-
dure."
Colonel Rorty believes, therefore,
that present civilization is on a
sound basis because of the great
technical developments in means of
transportation, mmunic ton,
utilization Of raw materials, and
so on.

Ways Have Changed

TOR 100 years we were content to
Il string along with the idea of
doing no more to promote our own
peculiar views than set a good
example.
Though sympathetic with revo-
Iutionary movements in favor OF
democracy, we never went so far as
to refuse even the most reactionary
government recognition.
The upheaval in Russia seems to
have had a singular effect on our
conceptions of international eti-
uuette, Notwithstanding that one Of
our war aims was to "save the world
for democracy" and that we yelled
for about everybody in Europe to
revolt when We started the boys for
France.
