any excitement, just as it ravels
out with too much. But, under
the natural order of things, the
human animal got his excite

frequent spurts, like the other
brutes. Between times he had
large, wholesome periods of mo-

Now within the last 20 years,
this slow natural tempo of life

travels more, sees more in a
month than his grandfather did
in a whole lifetime.
Life Is a Bedlam
Even if he does not seek it,
excitement is constantly seeking
him. The streets are a bedlam.
Lights whirl before him. Peo-
pie rush by him. Street cars
rattle. Whistles shrill. Horns

whole scene revolves in a move

And each light, each sight,
each sound hammers against
the nervous system with the
vicious drive of a drill.

You have had many interest

cards from your friends travel
ing in foreign countries.
You we're pleased and rather
complimented to think that
they remembered you when
sending out these little Souve-

If they had been near prob
ably you would have called
them and thanked them for the

But you did not have their
travelling address.
However you could thank
them on their return.
But did you do it?
Why, no, you didn't even
mention it.
It slipped your mind but then
occasionally there have been
twinges of conscience accusing
you of being ungrateful.
But it has been so long now
since those cards came.
Perhaps they have forgotten
they sent them.
No use in reminding them
that you we're so careless in
acknowledgment.
After all, what is a card
nothing expensive-just a
thought.
But you'd miss those thoughts
if your friends forget to mail
cards.

A Dangerous Request
Avoid Propaganda In Schools

The people of Washington do not want their public schools
made vehicles the distribution of propaganda by any
group
The Board of Education therefore, should go slowly in
considering the request made of by recently formed
ganzaton for permission to have lecturers speak in the
schools on the evils of alcohol and cigarettes
It would doubt be beneficial to the children for recog
nzed physicians to lecture them the principles Of health
and kindred subjects
But there danger in converting class and assembly
halls into onesided forums controversial matters
The Board of Education could do distinct dis service to
the Of education by turning bgod reformer
the exclusive privilege of utilizing the school for the
dissemination of their pet ideas.
is probable that in the normal of the school
the constituted teachers find opportunity to give
their pupils all the information they need the evils Of
drinking and smoking.
This lecture proposal should be investigated fully OBJ
ecs and aims of the fostering organization should be
fully studied before the request is granted.

Your Own Business

The habit of minding ones
own business is wisdom whether
natural or acquired.
The one who is always noSing
around to see what some one
else is doing is a very disagree
able companion or neighbor.
The sooner it is understood
among your acquaintances that
you are not trying to find out
their personal matters, the more
popular you will be as a friend.
To feel that you can't lay a
paper or a letter down without
having another pick it up and
scan the contents is mighty un-
pleasant.
It is provoking, no matter
how little of private nature
may be contained in the papers
you let out of your hands, to
have some one on hand to pick
up and read OF look over.
1t is just as annoying to have
something in your hand, lay it
dCwn for a minute and have
some one put it away sc that
when you turn back to get it,
you can't find it.
If your job is setting things
to rights, make business of it
and get it done, but don't be
continually on hand to snatch
the out-of-plac article and put
it away before it is necessary.
The comfortable person to
have around minds his or her
own business.

that way. They have practi-
cally ceased to have independ-
ent personalities. They have
almost no place in the world
of reality; fail, if they try to
face it. Excitement is the one
issue in their lives. 1t is at
once their goal and their stim-

stitute for action, their COM

And all the time something
even more deadly is happen

drunken flesh also staggers. 1t

Why are such frightful things
happening? Why are there in
creasing numbers of people
who seem absolutely immune to
every argument of decency-
bright people, impossible to
qualify them as insane? Yet
it is equally impossible to arouse
pity in them, or shame, or a
sense of fairness. How can
such things be?
BECAUSE, AS A RACE, WE

THlCAGO, June 17.-The
~ most impressive thing
about Senator Dickinson's
keynote speech was its aloof-
ness from the realities and
the feeling conveyed that it
had been laboriously wrought
to evade the vital issue.
The keynoter is a hand
some gentleman, with charm
of personality and manner,
and with a voice capable of
delivering a stirring message
if he dared-and if the rec
ord offered him anything to
deliver.
He went over his manu-
script hurriedly, scarcely
glancing up from his
papers, and in a fashion in
dicative of a wish to put
an uninspiring job behind
him. He had scarcely begun
to speak when a great por-
ton of the delegates and
visitors resumed their con-
versations. It was thou
sands against one. T h e
one, even with an ampllfler,
was at a disadvantage.
At one time the noise was
so distressing that Senator
Fess interrupted the speech
to proclaim to the country
through the microphone:
There is too much dis
order in the room. The
speaker cannot be heard. "
The spirit of the dele
gates is usually manifested
in the applause. They, had
no spirit. There was little
applause, and it was slight,
perfunctory and artificial
The enthusiasm" for the
man soon to be nominated
and entrusted with leader
ship must have seemed Of
fensively ungracious to the
Cabinet musketeers on the
floor. Mr.. Hoover's name
was mentioned compliment
tary early in the speech,
The cheers were indolent,
discreet, polite, unconvlnc-
ing.
Then 1T seemed - there
came a tardy thought that
such indifference woul d
never do. The applause took
on more body. But the dele
gates sat comfortably in their
chairs. Suddenly, in diff
ferent parts of the hall, men
were seen earnestly motion
ing the delegates to their
feet. They rose lazily, sat
down soberly, and the "dem-
onstration" was over.
The speech itself was
bromide, colorless, but this
was due to the subjects
rather to any incapacity in
the orator. 1t was an amaz-
ing keynote. Not one word
was uttered on the irrepres-
sible issue of prohibition;
and not one word to indicate
an appreciation of the fact
that at this hour 10000, 600
breadwinners of the nation
are walking the streets,
while their dependents suf-'
fer.
The two issues uppermost
in the minds of the millions
are the Eighteenth Amend
ment and unemployment, and
the spokesman of a great
party, and of an administra-
tion asking the approval OF
the people, brushed both
aside as too inconsequentlal
for his attention.
It is this tendency to
cowardice and evasion which
is destroying confidence in
party governm ent in
America.

Instructed to
Pussyfoot


No doubt Senator Dickin-
son was embarrassed by in
structions from the Admin
lstration strategists to break
no new ground, to touch on
no controversial subject,
and to pussyfoot this way
through a necessary duty
imposed by tradition.
That, no doubt, is the
reason why the faithful on
the convention floor mani
tested no interest in the
speech-it offered nothing
at all in the midst of the
gravest crisis the nation has
ever known. Depressing as
it clearly was, even to the
partisans in the convention,
it will seem appalling to
the millions in distress who
are looking to Government
for a leadership of cour-
age, initiative and passion
to lead them out of the
Slough of Despond.
This particular convention
was completely dominated by
the President and his mus
keteers Of the Cabinet. The
platform echoes the speech.
And the program Of a
great party offers moth
ing to agriculture, the un-
employed and the merchants
but the privilege of being
grateful for policies that
have failed.
This, to my mind, is the
most puzzling feature of the
convention. Never, perhaps,
has any such assembly
moved more reluctantly un-
der the lash of necessity to
a nomination. There was no
enthusiasm here for Mr..
Hoover. His name was
scarcely ever heard in the
crowds in the hotel lobbies.
His picture was not dis
played. His unpopularity in
his own party is evident.
There is quiet grumbling be-
cause of the arrogance of
members of his official and
personal household who have
assumed control. And yet
never has a steam roller been
more effective and ruthless.
Mr.. Hoover directed the
thinking of the major part
of the convention from the
far end of the telephone.

Continuing, Gen. Crosby declared
that 1t was such organizations as the

known personally since its days Of
service during the World War overseas,
that can bring about the restoration of
prosperity and national happiness.
Gen. Crosby was introduced by Michael
Cook, who presided over this morning s

by Martin H. Carmody, supreme knight
of the order. The convention also was

charges that the Federal Government

Secretary insisted that the Fedora
Government has never usurped power
