organization was proposed when the
League Of Nations was formed, but it
was not effected. Though obviously
advantageous to all the members, none
was willing to yield authority to q

1t may be that from the suspects

I'm the st. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the st. Louis democrat.
What has happened to Nome is the
same refining baptism of fire which so
many new cities Of America have had

primitive state of mushroom growth
to permanent centerS of commerce
and production.
Destructive fires of that sort

reparable disasters, but the destruc-
ton of the primitive and temporary
has often been but the beginning Of
the substantial and permanent. Prop
erty still usable and thus having a
value, stood in the way of better and
more useful construction. Owners
would not substitute better and more
valuable buildings because of the cost
of doing SO. Progressing towns re-
tained their ramshackle appearance
in spite Of growing population and
increased business. Then came the
purifying fire, and new city arose
amid the ashes.
The most spectacular example Of
this catastrophe form of progress
was, of course, that Of Chicago IS
years ago. Hundreds of millions of
dollars went up in smoke. An old
and ungainly and inadequately built
city disappeared, and great modern
metropolis took its place. The price
paid for such transformation
seemed tremendous at the time, but
it was actually less than q like
change would have cost II made

ers, which is just what they deserve.
They will soon be lower than the
Chinese coolies and that ought to
make him happy.
But to return to Mr.. Lanier. Does
he not know that United States capi-
talists have four billion dollars in
vested in Canada already? This was
due to the failure of capitalism under
the late President Hoover. Mr.. Hoover
begged the big boys" to put the
people back to work, but it seems that
capitalism, as happens In each and
every one Of its crises, got nervous
chills due to a slight diminution at
that time Of its accustomed billions
OF profits. The Wall Street fiasco
came soon after. Capitalism must
have profits" but most Of those who
do the actual work cannot get a SUBJ
sistence for their labors. so no wonder
they strike. Canada cannot use any
more American capital. Anyway, 1t
is moving toward Socialism. so Mr..
Lanier couldn't be happy there!
Strikes will be unnecessary under
Socialism because Socialists believe in
permanent high American standard
Of living, while the capitalists kid
US along for few years and then re-
duce the income of the people, thus
automatically abolishing the Ameri-
can standard. Why? Because capital
ism is always greedy for more and
more profits. The big fat boys" never
get enough. Why? I don't know. Do
you? Continued capitalism means
continuance of chaos, which is
anarchy in production. Socialism
means security and permanent pros

From the Rock Island Argus.
A story comes from Galesburg to
the effect that the Burlington Rail-
road is calling back into service many
former enployes-men who have not
been employed for over three years.
They are being sent to Nebraska and
Colorado because freight business is
much better In those two States than
it has been for some time. The belief
is expressed that the boom in freight
business Is not temporary thing, but
permanent, as so per cent of it is due
to increased activity in the beet-sugar
fields, the opening Of o new tunnel
and the reopening Of silver mines.
II this view Of the situation iS
correct, gains for business would seem
to be in sight.

some good short stories. The story Of
the Haldmarne family Is told in the
words of Marget, one Of the three
daughters of a farmer who is working
doggedly, but without optimism, to
keep his farm and provide for his
family. 1t is the tenth year since the
farm has been the family home, and
the year has been one of drought.
Marget's narrative is In three parts
prelude and Spring "The Long
Drought" and Years End" She
writes at the end, looking back to the
beginning: Now in November can
see our years as q whole. can
look back now and see the days as one
looking down on things past, and they
have more shape and meaning than
before. But nothing is really finished
or left behind forever" 1t is not pri-
marily q story of action, not a mere
tale Of struggle with the soil. 1t is a
prose idyl, told by one to whom the
surface Of things is like dream, one
who finds reality in the depths of re-
f1ection. Yet there is action, and
action Of dramatic content, in the
mental conflict. ending in madness, Of
the tragic Kerrin and the burning Of
the Haldmarne fields and the fatal
accident to the mother. In November
the end is desolation, but in Marget
not all hope has died. There is the
need and the desire left, and out of
these hills they may come again. I
cannot believe this is the end" There
is something of the spirit and style of

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL.

whole mind and heart, as q knower,
rather than q doer.
Often enough it is possible to do
thing without knowing how one
does it.
The real geniuses of this world are
not so much the product Of hard
work, as one school of philosophy
would like us to believe, and as the
geniuses themselves occasionally
would have us think.
| They are simply men who have
been able to do what the rest of US
cannot do.
There you have a definition OF
genius which is good because it
works.
A genius, in whatever line, is not
SO much a man Of inspiration, though
some of his admirers may call it that.
| He Is not SO much q man of
strenuous endeavor, although at times
he may. choose to play the man of
humility by claiming 1t is nothing
else.
| The genius is the man who, what
ever the line, can do what most of
the rest Of humanity cannot do, be-
cause he can do the chosen thing so
much better.
No one Of any sense would claim
that the remainder Of humanity
should not try, If they want to try.
That Is where the near-geniuses come
from, and all the great crowd of
| imitators.
What one would say Is that, Just
as many have the right to try, so
others may be accorded the right to
stop trying, in their turn.
The gulf which separates them
from perfection is too great for them,
and that is their business.
There are only a few Deans in
base ball, but that is no reason why
they should not have a host of imi-
tators. 1t Is good for millions that
this is so.
There will be q number Of persons
however. who are willing to sit on
the sidelines and watch the real
players play. Yes, 9 considerable
number.
The mercantile interests have
classed sports into two classes. active
and spectator. 1t is a natural and
honest classification. Thus there are
clothes for active sports" and cloth
ing for spectator sports"
&A*
1t may be added that the person who
Is regarded as something Of q failure
by his friends, and yet who has
really ceased trying to reach the
heights simply because he is honest
enough to admit to himself that he
can never reach there, no matter
how much he tries, will never be q
menace to the youth of the country.
They will keep on trying TO be Deans
! just the same.
What this philosopher may do Is
stimulate the oldsters to be Just a
little bit more honest with themselves
and others and quit depending on
common politeness to get away
with it,
He may show q few wavering souls
in the journey Of life that content
is q continual feast largely because
1t is satisfied to be what it is, without
vain boasting and misguided striving.
He may lift, If only for a moment.
the cloak Of pretense, to show the real
man, no whit less a man because he
admits he is not of the company of
the great. There would be no elect
! without him, that is his glory.

International Terrorism.

An aspect Of international terrorism
is given to the crime at Marseille
which cost the lives of King Alexan-
der of Yugoslavia and Foreign Min
lister BArthou Of France. Reports
from Paris state that examination Of
two men held by the police upon sus-
picion of completely in that outrage
has disclosed the existence Of revo-
lutionary organization which seeks the
destruction of governments through
murder. This must be taken with re-
serve, for nothing explicit is forth
coming, and indeed it is definitely
stated that the suspects held at Paris
have not made full confessions, admit
ting only that they knew the assassin
Kalemen and were his companions
Immediately preceding the crime and
had been sent by the mysterious or
ganization to France, where they
were to receive instructions, failing
which they were about to leave the
country when they were arrested.
There is, unhappily, reason to be-
lieve that such an organization exists.
Murderous radicalism Of an interna-
tional character has prevailed for
many years. 1t was most active in
Russia during the late czarist regime,
aiming at the destruction Of the i'm
perial rule by assassination, which
was frequently attempted, sometimes
successfully. The malcontents of
many lands have at times undertaken
the overthrow of their governments
by terroristic acts, the immediate
agents being fanatical partisans and
insane patriots" chosen perhaps by
lot or, it may be, volunteering for the
veritably suicidal deed.
Doubtless the police organizations OF
most, If not all, of the European coun-
tries have knowledge of the existence
of these nests of terrorists, perhaps OF
the identities of the leaders and
agents. It is indeed their business to
know them. But they cannot fully
cope with them, for the radicals keep
well under cover in the course of their
| plotting, holding their followers under
rigid bonds of fidelity, with the fear
of death as deterrent from indiscre-
ton or betrayal. Fanaticism exalts
them into a vicious heroism.

Crime as a Children's Game.

A shocking story Of juvenile cruelty
- Is told in the news from Jersey City,
in a suburb of which the body Of a
boy Of seven has been found in q
trunk in an abandoned shack, strangled
by coil of wire around his neck.
AT first it was believed that the child
was the victim Of a degenerate adult.
Now it is found that the death Of the
little fellow was the result Of game
played by him and three younger
comrades, aged four and six, the
youngest being the brother of the dead
child. They went out for pastime
~after school, organizing a game Of
"cop and robbers" The elder boy
was the cop" He was captured by
sthe robbers" wired up securely and
left alone for while, then placed in
ethe trunk, where he was later found
dead.
The pastimes of many children now
adayS, numerous distressing accidents
have revealed, are of this character
= ,simulations of crime. Where they get
their ideas for these dangerous and
demoralizing sports is anybody's guess.
Perhaps they have seen motion pic

take them to such shows regardless OF

cidents that have occurred in this
country during the past five or ten
years in all parts of the country, but
chiefly in and near the larger cities,
would make a shocking showing OF the
terrible danger that is run in allowing
the little folks to regard weapons as
playthinss and to regard crime as a
uastime. The truth is that many
parents do not know how their chill
dren entertain themselves out Of doors.
They do not supervise the play of the
youngsters. Some of them think that
such games as "cops and robbers" Z"
with their children as actors in tragic
drama, are cute" Then comes the
funeral and bitter realization that a
duty has been neglected.

Presidents Labor Truce Call
Heartily Approved by Press

Hearty approval Of President Roose-
velt's call for truce in labor contro-
versies given by the newspapers in
every section Of the country is &C
companied by warnings that real
peace cannot be attained unless both
capital and labor show reasonable
spirit of conciliation.
The President will have the healthy
support and good will of the country" t"
says the San Francisco Chronicle, al
though 1t points out that so far the
proposal has gone to mo ultimate So
luton"
Conviction that the country supports
the Presidents idea Is expressed by
the Buffalo Evening News, the In
dianapolis News, the Charleston CIV.
Va) Daily Mail, the Sioux City Trib-
une, the Columbia Is. c. Record, the
Asbury Park Evening Press and the
Watertown IN. " Daily Times. The
Newark Evening News calls it the zone
broad, constructive suggestion in his
speech" and the Fort Worth Star
Telegram feels that ut does not seem
an unreasonable request"
"It Is enormously simple" says the
Muskegon Chronicle, $50 simple that
the explanation Of why it has never
been possible to make such q system
work before Is that it is complicated
with human nature, human selfish
ness, human cussednesS and a greed
for power that Is not confined to either
side of the controversy. The whole
Nation will join heartily with the
President in the hope that he will sue
coed. II such a truce could be ar
ranged, and both sides persuaded to
keep it for long enough to realize how
much superior it is to war, the begin
ming of the industrial millennium
would be almost in sight"
The st. Joseph Gazette suggests
that "the President evidently senses
a widespread public demand for the
settlement Of labor disputes by peace
full means" while the Oklahoma City
Times declares: What methods of
adjustment may be developed in a
year, If q truce should last that long,
are uncertain. The truce prospect may
be spoiled by an unyielding attitude
on either side, but q reasonable spirit
of compromise and conciliation should
assure an end to strikes for time,

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The letter of Alexander Sidney
Lanier in q recent issue Of The Star
was highly amusing. Apparently, he
does not know his Canadal Suppose
he decides to move to Toronto. What
will he find? That the progressive
voters Of that large industrial city last
year elected to Office as city controller
in charge of the finances, no other
than straight Socialist of 20 years
standing!
Suppose he goes to Montreal. What
does he find? Out in Verdun, sub
urban city of $4,000 population. the
Socialists last year elected seven Of
eight OF the City Council. If he goes
into the farmer constituencies he will
find them enthusiastic over the Can
adian Cooperative Commonwealth
Federation (the c. c. F. which stands
for the straight Socialist party pro-
gram as we know it in the United
States. If he goes to Ottawa and
other provincial capitals he will find
the Liberal party In control. The
Conservatives have had to look for
other jobs in most parts of Canada.
The Liberal party corresponds to the
Democratic party in the United States.
In England the Liberal party Is 60
ing to pieces, because it can only ad-
vance just so far, and after that pleases
neither conservatives nor progressives.
In London, most Of the Liberals have
joined the Labor party on account
Of its straightforward program re-
Gently adopted to place Socialism into
immediate effect in England The
Labor party there is now a Socialist
party and controls the London County
Council by margin of Is votes. The
March elections determined this.
Glasgow, Scotland, is in complete con-
troll Of the Socialists. So is Leeds.
Other cities will soon be in the same
category.
The Scandinavian nations are now
in control of the Socialists and in
Switzerland the Social Democrats $50
cialists) control all the large cities,
including Geneva, seat of the League
of Nations.
In Polish city elections the Social
lists last Spring elected over 500 city
officials. despite the opposition of Die
tator Pilsudski, who, like Hitler, apes
Mussolini. In Italy Mussolini begs the
