Need More Ambition

IF this were finished country, or
4 if we had supplied all human
needs, that proposition would be all
right, but this is not finished
country, and a lot of us still are
suffering for the sheer necessities of
life.
What we really need is a little
more imagination and a little more
ambition.
AS nation, we are not look
ing for things to do, especially new
things. AS nation, we are af-
f1icted with low-grade smugness,
with a disposition to think and toll,
not as much, but as little, as we can.
AS a nation, we have ceased to
have any great purpose in mind,
such as settlement of the west or
the railroad era supplied.

Just Sounds Good

NOW we are talking about five
IN day week or a six-hour day as
the needed bit of witch magic. We
reason the thing out just as we did
with regard to immigration. We
assume that there is just so much
work to be done, and no more.
Ergo, our job is to reduce the
number of workers by keeping other
people out, or make more places on
the pay roll by shortening the work
ing day.
1t sounds very plausible. So did
the idea of monopoly of sea traffic
after German submarines had sunk
100000 tons of shipping and every
merchant fleet, but our own, was
crippled.

Excellent, DR., WatSonI

T AM ready to grant that the fas-
4 cinating theories of Watson still
rest upon too slender a thread of
proof. And still I am convinced that
this is the way to bet.
The children in a hospital lie cot
to cot, like wax discs upon which
no melody yet has been played.
They will take the imprint of the
tune which is piped about their
ears. And from each one the world
may expect to get back approx
mately what it gives.
In my mind there is no doubt at
all that these are plastic folk and
that environment all too readily can
make this one a thief and the next
a saint and so on down the line.
There but for our folly lies one
who might be sage and leader, but
the ways of the world will dwarf
him mentally and physically.
The wheel spins round and round,
and they are bound to its conclu-
sions. Blank or double zero may be
the given number for any one of the
contestants long before he can walk

Tariff Idea FIops

XXTHEN the war ended, we took
w it for granted that our mer-
chant feet would dominate the sea,
but we can not find freight for the
pitifully small remnant of it which
is left.
During the Harding and Coolidge
administrations, our greatest con-
Germ was to loan other countries
money, so that they could buy our
goods. We not only failed to get
the trade, but lost lot of money.
Then we hit on the bright idea
of building up trade at home with
higher tariffs, but that did not work
any better than some of our other
bright ideas.

And while we partly can excuse
the toilers' stupidity, there is
nothing that can justify their
seeming cowardice.
Millions Of men, said to be Gre
ated in the image Of Almighty God
walk the streets hungry, with
hungry wives and children at home.
Their eyes scan the stores with the
shelves overloaded, and food
aplenty. But they are too bastard
ly craven to protest the conditions
responsible for their misery. The
conscientious social rebel can afford
to see those grown men suffer. but
there are weak women and innocent
children who are suffering even
more than the men.
And the knowledge and sight Of
women and children starving to
death in land of plenty. while
their husbands and fathers stand
by, refusing to lift hand against
the system, makes this writer white
hot, and he feels like kicking
somebody or something.

Of 100000 a year. It looked bad
from the standpoint of work and
wages. Experts told us that I'M

Just now, immigrants are COM

while three times as many people
are leaving for other countries. BY
all the arguments and predictions
that used to be made regarding i'm

- LA IL LIE u
Wild West Was Not Al,Uaus
Wild; Peaceful Indians
Inhabited Region in Cor
onado'S Time.
THE first white men who moved
l. across America were adyen-
turers. They we're followed by set
tiers, intent upon carving out new
homes. The Indian stood in the
way Of both, and so was treated as
an enemy.
The result is that we are con-
fronted today with the fact that we
know only little about Indian civil
ization and it may indeed be the
case that much information Is lost
to us forever.
At any rate, students Of the In
dian civilizations continually are
confronted with problems which
might have been answered easily
had the first settlers maintained dif-
ferent relations with the Indians.
The Smithsonian institution has
sent out an expedition this sum
mer to try to find the answer to
one of these problems.
The problem is based upon q fact
which may surprise many readers.
1t is that the wild west" was not
always wild.
The wandering, horse-riding, buf-
falo-hunting Indians whom the pio-
neers had to battle were not the first
inhabitants of the west.
They were preceded by peaceful,
quiet people who lived in towns. In
their days the wild west" was tame.
When Coronado first explored the
region Of the Missouri river-the
"Espiritu Santo" river he called It
he found these peaceful indians
living in villages.

TINE occurrence of complications
l. due. to special construction of
the body which make the process
of childbirth exceedingly difficult
must be anticipated by a physician
through proper study of the pa
tent well in advance.
In instances where difficulty is a
certainty, it is frequently desirable
for the patient to go to the hos
pital a week or more in advance of
the anticipated event.
Moreover, the physician of today
is concerned in handling childbirth
not only with the actual disease of
the patient and with the question
of medical care, but also with eco
nofnic and social factors, which I'M
doubtedly have an important bear
ing on childbirth.

Ill-Timed GOOsestepping

We conceive Of no utterance more ill-timed
than one just printed under the signature of DR..
William John Cooper United States commissioner
of education indorsng student military training and
blandy suggesting that land grant college facilities
be turned to the army for instruction in chem
ical and other forms of modern warfare.
"At the present time" writes Dr. Cooper, good
people trying to have military training dropped
from these colleges. 1t is more conceivable to think
of the army using an entire college, It will use
such college not exactly as the army has used it in
the past, but, to take land grant college for ex-
ample, one may think OF the chemical laboratories
which have been modified in such way that students
learn the arts of peace.
They could give attention to the manufacture
of varots kinds of gases or the preparation of de-
tense against these gases 1t is only by having our
educated prepared for war that it can be
avoided"

cobsen and Lorenz of the Water
Front Unemployed Council and and
the Marine Workers Industrial Union
who had come to demand the bag
gage of Fritz Liedtke which the in
stitute had confiscated by calling riot
squads and over so regular police.
The militancy of the seamen was

reinforcements before they attempted
to take any action. The Institute
was cleared of all seamen and plice
Gordon was thrown around the In

thousand hosiery workers meeting

reject the bosses proposal to with

Following the vote, 800 textile

The vote last night followed meet
ings of workers from each mill, which
we're held throughout the day to dis
cuss the bosses proposals. The pro-
posals were rejected at all meetings.
The workers show a high degree Of
organization, having learned from the

ers, with representatives in every
