It always is a good work to keep children in health and to prevent the implanting of serious disease within them. The preventorium principle is sound and commendable. Just about the time a projected revolution gets cranked up, ready to start, down in Mexico, President Obregon punctures its tires and puts its machinery out of gear. Those Arms Conference treaties should go to vote on their merits without undue delay. The Senate would know no more about them three months from now than it knows now. The dragging of the good name of a man, or a woman, or a family, into the mire, in public print, on the eighth pretext, is a type of journalism that does not appeal to those of clean and fair minds and just impulses. Courts would command greater respect in their functionings if their procedure were simplified and if the processes of legal justice were expedited. Waiting "forever and a day" to get a case through court is not respect-inspiring. One of the thriftiest things the world could do would be to disarm. It would save enormous sums, relieve overburdened taxpayers and make possible the carrying forward of great works of peace for the benefit and uplift of mankind. The Nineteenth Amendment— BIG WEALTH FOR LITTLE SELDOM GOTTEN Frequent exposures of get-rich-quick swindles, in which thousands are victims, lead to the deduction that a numerous element of the population is bent upon getting something for nothing, if possible. Cupidity is cupidity, whether it be in the man who grasps for millions, or the man of humble means who, with his few dollars, tries to reap a quick-riches harvest of thousands of dollars. The spirit and the principle are wrong in both the rich grasper and the poor grasper. Any person of even meager intelligence knows that great fortunes are not honestly made, except in rare instances, by the investing of small sums. It is true that investment in an invention that succeeds phenomenally; or in an oil field that suddenly develops rich flows; or in mines that pan out well; or in manufacturing that makes great profits—fortunate investments of this nature sometimes do yield enormous profits. But the typical get-rich-quick scheme is not concerned with legitimate investments of this nature. It is usually a reckless and crooked gamble, with the promoter reaping the profits for a time, then a total collapse, as in the case of Ponzi and Bischoff, with thousands of dupes left in financial ruins. DISCOVERY OF AMERICA RIVALLY CLAIMED Come now French newspapers with the claim that a Frenchman, Capt. Jean Cousin, of Dieppe, discovered the American continent four years ahead of Columbus. Captain Cousin, it is said, reached South America, near the mouth of the Amazon, in 1488. Other big explorational claims are made for Captain Cousin. The laurel that history has placed upon the brow of the pious Columbus hardly will be displaced, although there seems to be pretty strong proof that Europeans discovered the West- One of the thriftiest things the world could do would be to disarm. It would save enormous sums, relieve overburdened taxpayers and make possible the carrying forward of great works of peace for the benefit and uplift of mankind. The Nineteenth Amendment—equal suffrage—is upheld unanimously by the United States Supreme Court. Unanimous decisions from that great tribunal are always to be welcomed. They carry a prestige that divided opinions do not. Uncle Sam's helpfulness toward Europe, in its economic stress, will be gauged by the willingness of Europe to help itself. The countries which expect substantial assistance from the United States must cut out their militarism and extravagance and settle down to peaceful industry. Teach children to respect the possessions and the rights of others. This is one of the most welcome forms of moral training, and lays the foundation for obedience to and respect for law when these youths reach adult years. This kind of training, in the home and in school, would go far toward preventing "crime waves" in future. RIVALLY CLAIMED Come now French newspapers with the claim that a Frenchman, Capt. Jean Cousin, of Dieppe, discovered the American continent four years ahead of Columbus. Captain Cousin, it is said, reached South America, near the mouth of the Amazon, in 1488. Other big explorational claims are made for Captain Cousin. The laurel that history has placed upon the brow of the pious Columbus hardly will be displaced, although there seems to be pretty strong proof that Europeans discovered the Western world long before the great Genoese navigator made his fateful voyages. That the Northmen came down from Iceland and discovered the coasts now known as New England, there is good reason for believing. The mainland which had been described by a companion of Eric the Red in A.D. 985, was visited by Leif Erickson, in A.D. 1000, according to trustworthy records, and he and his party spent the winter in the region now comprised within Rhode Island. But these discoveries had no influence upon history. For nearly five centuries after the discovery by these hardy Northmen the American continent had lain in wilderness, unsettled by Europeans and unknown to the Eastern world. But the discoveries of Columbus stimulated interest in this continent and led to its exploration and settlement by Europeans. The honors of discovery should remain with him. He really "discovered" America to the Eastern world. Another NASH We would like your opinion of the qualities of the Model 691—The New Greater Nash Six.

I told my wife—wonderful woman—that we should economize. "All right," said she, "you shave yourself and I'll cut your hair." As I said before, she is a wonderful woman. —D. Y. Some day at a banquet they are going to ask me, perhaps, to arise and give a toast to the women. And when they do, I shall say: "Here is to the woman who has a smile for every joy, a tear for every sorrow, a consolation for every fault, a prayer for every misfortune and an encouragement for every hope." THIS HEAD IS WORTH SOMETHING Says a Camden, N. J., dispatch to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, at the end of a story about how five firemen were trapped in a burning store: "Martin Corrigan's skull was fractured; the damage is estimated at $130,000." Miss Flossie Fernfrill of Brooklyn Heights says that if she were given two wishes she would first wish for a husband, and reserve the other wish until she saw how he turned out. Be to her virtues very kind, Be to her faults a little blind. —Matthew Prior. What has become of the σ f. children who used to "play horse?" MOTIF What is music but translation of the sea? Blue water forming into waves, far Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying REFORM LECTURE IMPORTS Boston Transcript Need of reform is evident in an important branch of important trade. If we are to continue to receive foreign lectures brought to this country by the foreign lecturers, the business should be systematized and made to conform to certain recognized standards. In the current discussion of the tariff much is heard about American valuation of imports. It is a subject on which the experts differ. But when the principle of American valuation is applied to the import trade in lectures, there is no room for argument. It is clearly the proper method of assessing values. The coming of men and women from other lands to talk to American audiences is a good thing, if the wares they bring with them are up to the American standard. That being the case, this import trade is one that tends to better understanding between peoples, but care should be taken to see that the importations can meet the test of American valuation. CULTURE IN THE MID-WEST ST. Joseph News-Press When a recent novel dealt severely with the Western village, many who had migrated to large cities chuckled approvingly. One of its chief ideas was not so generally noted. It was that America mostly was like the town pictured. Many others who have traveled over the country have been impressed more by uniformity than by diversity. The large towns are New York and the small towns are the large towns. Not often is there any special protest against this tendency, at least not such an emphatic one as that made recently by Paul Greer, of Omaha. Mr. Greer urged his section to cultivate its own distinctive qualities. He goes so far as to contend that the Middle West is "almost a separate land and race, with traditions, ideas and ideals differing widely from those of other parts of the Nation." It has greater regard for moral character, is less skeptical and more confident, more public spirited and more intellectually independent than the East, he specifies. 2 PHILADELPHIA DIAMOND GRID BATTERY Year Guarantee A real factory guarantee.

To be original these days, all a girl has to do is to dress modestly. If a man tried as hard to hold a woman's love as he did to get it, there wouldn't be so many divorces on the docket. Curiosity leads inevitably to the keyhole. Heroes don't run much to wrist watched or smirk. Tell old truths in a new way. Old people will call you "original." Disgusting details of foul crimes or filthy scandals are not legitimate news and are not fit to be published and circulated in homes.
