China and America.

From the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader.
All semblance of an organized gov
ernment seems to have vanished from
China Brigands roam throughout
the land, plundering and pillaging
where they can. There seems to be
developing in that country a sort of
pirate government. Here and there
are bandit leaders, each with a fol-
lowing of some size. To obtain some
degree of security. it becomes neces-
sary for the individual to join one
gang or another. And this situation,
queer though it seems, prevails in
what has been regarded as the oldest
civilized government in the world!
The Chinese development should make
us realize the delicacy of an organ
lied government dependent upon con-
fidence, trust, goodwill and peaceful
deliberation. We in the United States
are better educated than the people
of China. Our progress Is not held
in check by backward religion. Our
standard Of living Is much higher.
Human nature, however, is human
nature. We can avoid troubles such
as those which have beset China, and
we will avoid them. To do SO, how
ever, we must maintain majority rule
at all costs. The will Of the majority.
as expressed at the polling places,
must be respected. Occasionally in
this country politicians have displayed
tendency to temporize. A recent
instance was the drivers strike in
Minneapolis. There have been sew
eral others. Once small groups are
permitted through violence to upset
the will of the majority, trouble looms
directly ahead.

human values which they personified.
No one who is familiar with their
story can he in any doubt of the no.
bility Of their lives. They were the
ideal scientists of the age in which
they toiled. 1t was their privilege to
demonstrate the high qualities of
character and temperament which the
sincere investigator of natural phe-
nomena should possess. They will be
remembered for the example which
they set.
They were earnest, patient, devoted
and selfiess. They gave all that they
had to the success of the enterprises
in which they engaged and asked no
indemnity of any kind for their sacri-
them, but they protested against the
flood. Hundreds Of friends and an
even greater number of strangers de-
sired to write of them, but they
avoided publicity. No taint OF COM
mercialization ever was permitted to
interfere with their dedication to the
quest for pure knowledge. Their
careers from first to last were spot
lessly clean and good. They were
modest and kindly, admirable in their
unpretending generosity Of spirit.
Visitors to their laboratories came
away with the feeling in their hearts
that they had encountered something
divine there.
And Marie -Curie played a double
role in the drama of the quest with
which her name is so beautifully and
enduringly identified. She was her
husbands inspiration, as well as a
collaboration in all the victories that
he won between 1896 and 1906 And,
still more significant, she had the
genius to carry on after his unsea-
sonable death. For more than a
quarter century after their parting
she had the joy of serving his mem
ory by pressing forward toward the
goal which he had sought.
Now the separation is terminated.
Is it beyond the faith Of earth's puz-
zled children to believe that some
where out in the infinite, somewhere
in a grander laboratory beyond the
distant stars, they are reunited in
the labor that they loved?

countless thousands yesterday took to
the loads for trips somewhere, on
pleasure bent. Other countless thou

many of those who went driving were
bad drivers, reckless and unskillful,

the waters were poor swimmers, heed
less of the risks, and 10 deaths are

While the safe and sane Fourth"
movement, started some years ago to
abate the tragic terrors of Inde-
pendence day, has progressed until
only two lives were lost yesterday from
fireworks, the day still stands as one
of the heavy liabilities of the Nation
The great pity of it all is that most
of those who lost their lives yesterday
from motor accidents were themselves
innocent Of fault, the victims Of the
bad driving of others.
So great is the crowding on the
roads on such a holiday that nobody
is safe. One dashing, corner cutting,
hopping driver may cause the
death of half a dozen others. The
prudent person stays off the roads, as
driver or as passenger, on such an oc-
casion. The penalty in terms of legal
punishment for those who blunder or
dangerously dare in their driving is
wholly inadequate. In most cases the
crash itself settles the matter for the
offender. But that risk of self Sacri-
flee to the urge of speed does not
abate the disposition of thousands to
race along the highways in what has
come to be the holiday spirit of in

The Independence day problem is
no longer one of precaution against

1t has become one of protection from
the speed mania of drivers who on
such an occasion dash their way
about the country and swell the totals
of the fatalities incident to what
should be day of rejoicing, but has
become day of sorrow.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

More diseases of aquarium fishes
have been found than adequate rem
edies for the same.
No doubt the great fault lies with
the amateur keeper of these small
creatures, in that commonly he does
not do what he knows.
Restriction to an inadequate body
of water, and improper feeding prob
ably account for most of the maladies
to which these interesting creatures
fall heir.
When one stops to think that, in o
state of Nature, these tiny fishes would
have hundreds of thousands of gall
Ions Of water to swim in, it is no Won
der that they often fall i'll in the con-
fines of the average home aquarium.
When to this inadequacy Of water
per fish is added the overcrowding
which almost always takes place, still
less surprise can be expressed.
The wonder is, not that they some
times refuse to eat, and so gradually
| decline and pass out of the picture at
last, but that they are able to live at
all.
X X X X
The first consideration which the
amateur fish keeper should keep in
mind, especially during the hot
! months, is this one of overcrowding.
He should see TO 1t that, even with
the tropicals, he does not have more
than one fish per gallon of water.
We know that this is violated In
most instances, and seemingly with
out hurt, yet it is necessary that such
rules be instanced, for they are good
rules in every case.
Every one who takes up fish keep
ing as a hobby hears Of the rule as
applying to goldhshes. Not more than
an inch of fish, excluding the tail, to
the gallon.
Tropical fishes. he is informed. can
stand something more in the crowding
| line.
1t is true that they can stand it
but why should they?
They are children Of Nature, used
to their thousands Of gallons OF
water per fish.
This remains true, even If they
have been Matched in tanks, and know
nothing else. 1t is true because Ma
ture cannot be thwarted in single
generation, or even in several Of them.
While the tiny baby fishes SWIM
ming happily in their big breeder
tanks-probably as much as so to
! 100 gallons-know nothing of stream
| or pool back in the intelligence of the
creature, in what we call its instinct,
lies the sense of life, which demands
necessarily. for the best living for the
creature, plenty Of oxygen.
There can be no getting away from
this. no matter how much the ANA
. teur crowds his tanks, nor how well
! his fishes seem to get along.
This is the fundamental reason for
the subsequent decline of individual
fishes, which occurs even in the best
kept outfits.
The owner may believe it lack OF
proper nutrition ingredients in the
foods he feeds them. or some disease,
whose symptoms are quite plain. or he
! even may push the thing back to an
internal parasite" the last refuge
! of ignorance in this matter.
The first factor will be the crowd
ing.
1t is overcrowding which not only
deprives them of oxygen, but also con-
tributes to subtle changes of water,
and these latter. in the last analysis,
are the basic bringers of disease to
| them.
These chemical changes are ex-
tended over long period, particularly
if the enthusiast is addicted to the

"None will begrudge F. D. this glori-
fed fishing trip. He's earned it."
So says the Buffalo Times and OBJ
servers of every political complexion
echo this view of the Presidents cruise
through the Panama Canal to Hawaii.
ut is not believed there is any one
| in the country who will express the
opinion that the President has not
earned the absence that he plans to
take" says the Saratoga Springs Sara
togian, and the Manchester IN. H
Union agrees that no matter what
may be ones opinions regarding ad-
ministrative policies, every one recog-
nizes the tremendous burden that is
placed on the Chief Executive, and
the unsparing industry with which
Nj. Roosevelt has applied himself to
his task"
Indeed, the Jersey Observer is Of the
opinion that "in the sixteen months
! that have elapsed since he took Office,
a new record has been written in
national achievement, with the dy-
manic and ;lreless Chief Executive at
the head of it all" while the Pontiac
Daily Press hold that, probably no
man in the history of the United
States has undertaken so much" The
Hamilton (Ohio) Journal likewise
thinks that "he deserves the rest which
will come to him and which will give
to him the keenness Of mind and vigor
of body with which to meet the many
problems that remain to be solved in
the days to come"
THE Nation will wish for him a
real vacation" says the Concord Daily
Monitor, but it can be real only if
he gets continuing good news of what
transpires while he is absent. The
President has done what he can to
lead the way back to better times.
The Nation must now help itself, and
while it may seem impractical to sug-
gest it, the need of the President for
a good rest might well provide the
inspiration which would permit a daily
wireless message to the Presidents S
ship that 'all's WE'LL"
There is considerable anxiety being
manifested In some circles" states the
Portland (Me) Press Herald, about
the Presidents going away for such
long time" but the Richmond News
Leader SCOTS at this fear. what,
say some alarmed patriots, chiefly of
the @. o. p. persuasion" says the
| News Leader, " is the President to be
absent from Washington for five or
six weeks? Does he really intend to
leave the continental United States
and to go 5000 miles to sea at this
| critical juncture?' Yes, he Is going
to do it, and when he is in Hawaii,
| at the farthest stretch of his journey,
he will be in much closer touch with
public business than President Wash
ington was during the Southern tour
| of 1891"
On the other hand, the Rockford
Register Republic is relieved that
barring the unforeseen, President
Roosevelt will not be out Of contact
with Washington at any time be-
cause of the fact that Citizens have
far more confidence in the President

| prevailing aquatic vice Of attempting
to run a tank as long as he can with
out change of water.
In the old days of the goldfish pop
ularity, before the keeping of small
tropical fishes became popular, it was
customary on the part of the average
goldfish fan" to change the water
every day or two, as his charges dis
played discomfort by coming to the
surface to gasp.
This custom was so universal that
even today the first question the new
! conner to the fish hobby asks is, How
often do you have to change the
| Water?"
4 + y
The usual answer made to this, and
most often made with some real pride,
is, You never have TO change the
water"
Usually this causes vast surprise in
the inquirer.
| What! Never change the water?
| 1t is an ideal, however. not to be
recommended in every day practice.
While the balanced tank" remains
, the ideal, even when 1t Is attained 1t
is best TO add some fresh water from
| time to time.
In the cases Of certain types of
fishes, notably the Cichlids, to which
family belong the beautiful angel fish,
fresh water is the best remedy for an
ailing tank inmate.
A little fresh water now and then Is
only sensible, no matter how well the
tank seems to be going alone.
1t tends to restore the true balance,
as it has been disturbed by the life
| processes of the fishes, and by
the aforementioned subtle chemical
changes which only a trained chemist
can detect. 1t is the nature Of certain
kinds of fishes to render the water al
kaline and of certain other sorts to
make it acid in reaction. When the
| two types are kept together, as they
SO often are, the resultant chemical
hash" is anything but conducive to
the best health OF them all. Fresh
water added from time to time, tends
to balance the tank.
In making this change it is seldom
advisable to completely change the
aquarium. Often the removal Of about
one-fourth OF the contents OF an
aquarium will be all that is needed
with the addition thereupon Of fresh
water which has been brought TO the
exact temperature Of the old water,
whatever it is.
This change will not upset things
/ too much, but on the other hand will
not only permit the aquarist to give
| them this small equivalent to Natures
| changes, as she would make them in
stream or pool, but also enables him
! to siphon off a bit of refuse from the
/ bottom. There is no scavenger as
| good as a siphon, after all.

The vogue in the keeping Of small
/ fishes in the home rests solidly on pre-
pared or artificial foods Few anna

which such creatures feed upon in
nature.

Only two we're killed by fireworks

hailed as a triumph for safety. But
the holiday took heavy toll of life
nevertheless, at least ITS lives being
