China has had its third disastrous flood in a year. It would be the sheerest economy for that country to curb its floods through scientific control. Emma Goldman likes the United States better than Russia, but she hates all government. The United States does not warm up to any person who hates all government. Grand opera is grand only when it is grand. When a singer formerly of strong and beautiful voice appears with voice cracked unmelodious, it is pitifully pathetic, not grand, opera. A certain popular screen star violated traffic ordinances in Los Angeles twice in one day. Will she be punished? No, not so it will hurt. Justice is not so blind and so stern as it should be, in such cases. Contrary to the opinion of many people, boxing is not the brutal or hard shelled game that the anti-boxing element has contended, and this year eight more of the leading universities of the country adopted boxing as a regular part of the courses given. This is an age of specialized knowledge. It must needs be so. Nobody can know it all, today, about everything, or even about a few things. Truth is, no one knows it all about any one thing. The specialist concentrates and intensifies, so that he may have extraordinary knowledge of his chosen subject. But absolute completeness of knowledge is the Ultimate Thule which he cannot reach. Beauty is something that every city and every countryside in California should cultivate. Beauty of streets, of parks, and of premises is of material value to a municipality, not to speak of the cultural worth of beautification—its uplifting influence upon all classes of the population. Bring children frequently under WHAT IS INVOLVED IN THE ARBUCKLE CASE Quoting a few sentences from Judge Lazarus' comment on the Arbuckle case, as he held the comedian for trial on a charge of man-slaughter, instead of murder, as District Attorney Brady sought: This is an important case. We are not trying the screen celebrity who has given joy and pleasure to all the world. Actually, in a large sense, we are trying ourselves. We are trying our present-day morals, our present-day social conditions, our present-day looseness of thot and lack of social balance. The issue here is really and truly larger than the guilt or innocence of this particular unfortunate man. The issue is universal and grows from conditions which are matters for comment and apprehension to every lover and protector of our American institutions. The court expresses sympathy for "this particular unfortunate man." But there is no word of sympathy for "this particular unfortunate" young woman — Virginia Rappe. There is not that severe reprehension of this particular orgy for which Arbuckle was responsible and out of which came the death of this girl, which the public had the right to expect from a court of justice. But there has come from this case a very unfortunate impression—an impression that there is caste in determining the guilt or innocence of men. The comment frequently has been heard, since this scandal became public, that Arbuckle would go free, or escape with light punishment, because he is a celebrity and because he has great wealth. It would be unfortunate indeed if the case should take such turn, at any stage, as to give color to this suspicion. Arbuckle should have absolute, RHOA 2250 New York Letter NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—The Socialist party is having some difficulties in its city campaign. Searching for an issue of general appeal, it hit upon that of municipal laundries. Markets, ice factories and other useful institutions had been suggested for city ownership in previous battles but the thought of a publicly owned laundry had not been specifically tried out. It seemed attractive. Certainly the woman's vote would be intrigued at the thought of down-pressed housewives bundling up the week's wash and turning it over to be done free of charge. The issue was announced. But also! It developed that a surprisingly large number of the party's membership are laundry workers; and they rose volubly to arms at the idea of their jobs being taken away from them in this fashion. The laundry idea has accordingly been dropped from the public speeches but murmurs of grief are still heard. The Santa Claus burglar is New York's latest novelty. This playful criminal strips the jewels of silverware from one apartment only to stop in at another during the same night and leave some part of his loot as a keepsake. His intentions are undoubtedly kind but he has endangered neighborly friendships in some instances, such as that when Mrs. Third Floor came upon a wrist watch adorning the daughter of her first floor acquaintance which formerly edge of his chosen subject. But absolute completeness of knowledge is the Ultimate Thule which he cannot reach. Beauty is something that every city and every countryside in California should cultivate. Beauty of streets, of parks, and of premises is of material value to a municipality, not to speak of the cultural worth of beautification—its uplifting influence upon all classes of the population. Bring children frequently under the influence of good music. It is an inspiring thing—an excellent moral influence. It brightens the home. Where it can be afforded, there should be a piano or a violin in the home—or at least a phonograph. Music of the very best quality is within the reach of even the humble home, thanks to the remarkable development of the phonograph. If San Francisco or Los Angeles is to get one or both of the great political conventions in 1924, there must be some quick and energetic hustling. One or both of these big political gatherings, meeting in California in 1924, would be of great advantage to the state. It is worth the while of all civic and promotional organizations in the state to co-operate and get at least one big 1924 convention. But there has come from this case a very unfortunate impression—an impression that there is cause in determining the guilt or innocence of men. The comment frequently has been heard, since this scandal became public, that Arbuckle would go free, or escape with light punishment, because he is a celebrity and because he has great wealth. It would be unfortunate indeed if the case should take such turn, at any stage, as to give color to this suspicion. Arbuckle should have absolute, exact justice. He should be charged with nothing more than that of which he was guilty. Nor should he be charged with anything less than that of which it reasonably sure, by the evidence, that he was guilty. "In a large sense we are trying ourselves," said Judge Lazarus. Yes we are trying ourselves. And the world is looking on, to note whether or not justice really is administered even handedly in this country; whether or not men are railroaded to conviction because of popular clamor against them, or whether or not men are let off with little or no punishment because they have wealth and the influence to bring about technical evasions of the law. New York Letter Head waiters are resourceful—and brave. They learned to be back in the pre-Victorian days and the qualities have not been entirely unnecessary time. Over in a popular restaurant in the theatrical district, a new complication was thrust upon one of these well-trained men the other evening and he accepted it like a soldier. The complication was a crying baby, one-eighth of a family party. The mother tried all her arts and the other dinners looked irritated, but the baby cried on. Finally the head waiter picked it up in his arms, went out into the lobby and began a walk and a talk that had a soothing effect. Within three minutes the baby was cooling, the family was dining peaceably and all signs of distress had left the brows of the disturbed crowd. The waiter kept up his walk until the family had finished dinner and then he returned the infant with no embarrassment at all at his nurse role. The Teachers' Council of this city and the Board of Education are in The Sanita Claus burglar is New York's latest novelty. This playful criminal strips the jewels of silverware from one apartment only to stop in at another during the same night and leave some part of his loot as a keepsake. His intentions are undoubtedly kind but he has endangered neighborly friendships in some instances, such as that when Mrs. Third Floor came upon a wrist watch adorning the daughter of her first floor acquaintance which formerly and legally belonged upon her own arm. The explanation that it was "found" on the dresser failed to carry until the stories of similar takings and givings were brutified about, with an occasional explanatory note left by the burglar himself. The day is pretty nearly past when women's colleges will be considered as trailers to the aims of men's. Dr. Henry N. MacCracken, president of Yassar, has aroused intense interest and discussion in the academic world by a statement made in New York the other day in which he pointed out the elements of superiority which the colleges for women have already obtained over their old institutions which look after their brothers. Briefly they are, as analyzed by Dr. MacCracken: the abolition of fraternities; a greater degree of utilization of the fine arts; closer relations between the faculty and students; abolition of having; self-government; limitations of enrollment; co-operation in the discussion and solution of vital problems. The results of these tendencies and achievements in the girls' colleges, Dr. MacCracken believes, are truer preparation for life in the world outside of college walls and a keener enjoyment of college itself. Among other thoughts which are hurled at our metropolis by the country at large is that we die much quicker and more often than our less crowded neighbors. Every mother who sees her boy or girl leave the home town to take up work in New York City spends a considerable part of the first two or three months expecting word that her child has been used by automobile, gunman, or rescuer but the baby cried on. Finally the head waiter picked it up in his arms, went out into the lobby and began a walk and a talk that had a soothing effect. Within three minutes the baby was cooling, the family was dining peaceably and all signs of distress had left the brows of the disturbed crowd. The waiter kept up his walk until the family had finished dinner and then he returned the infant with no embarrassment at all at his nurse role. The Teachers' Council of this city and the Board of Education are in dispute as to the proper method of teaching."manners." The teachers want an hour set aside each week when they can tell their students how to be polite and even polished. The Board insists that all the teacher has to do is to be polite and polished all the time herself and the students will catch on to it. It seems to be regarded by the Council, however, as one of those things that are easier to tell about than to keep up seven hours at a time. Ellinore Glyn is in our city once more, after a summer in the Pacific Coast motion picture colony. She declares that in spite of sensational stories about the whole colony, they are really quiet, domestic, sweet, and wholesome taken as a group. It is a rejuvenated and changed Ellinore Glyn who has returned. The British austerity with which she greeted reporters when she first arrived here is gone, along with the picturesqueness which we had associated with her. She is tailormade and girlish now and laughs attractively, interspersing her speech with American slang with complete lack of self-consciousness. MOXEE, WASH., CHALLENGES WORLD PROSPERITY RECORD WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—The tote town challenges the U.S. for the record for prosperity.
