DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS When we look at the mute lips which we might have waked to praise and thanksgiving, and which, by our neglect, uttered only the words of sorrow; when we look upon the closed eyes, once glistening with tears, which we might have brightened with gleams of joy,—every look of alleneation and unkindness, every word of reproach, comes back upon our imagination, and we feel, too late, the pangs of unavailing grief. —William Gestlon Bates Mudslinging mars politics. Captain Kidd was an outright pirate, not a refined profiteer. Turn the light on diplomacy, and season it with honesty. The real news of the world is not gathered from moral sewers. They discuss almost everything in politics, these days, but real issues. Ballots should be restricted to inches, not stretched out into feet or yards. Teach the children to abhor the mob spirit, and outbreaks of violence and bloody crimes. Prosperity is being stabbed in the back by those who should be its friends and promoters. If all nations and peoples do their duty by each other, there never will be another World War or cause for CHINESE PROVINENCE SUF-FER FAMINE Women and children are dying by hundreds daily in the Yuan Chow district, province of Human, China. A missionary writes harrowing details of the horrors witnessed there. Three successive crop failures there have divested the country of food supplies. The province is isolated and the only way of reaching it is by junks. Relief sent is only meager. As the next harvest is in September, appalling mortality is feared. Such dreadful visitations as this, and as that in Russia, cause thinking, humane persons to ask: Cannot civilization, and science, and philanthropy devise ways and means to prevent the recurrence of these disasters? There is enough food in the world to feed all the inhabitants of the world. If this food only were distributed as it should be. Science should find the way, Christian civilization should prompt this and other Christian lands to supply the food and to see that it goes where needed. WHOLESOME RESPECT FOR PUBLIC OPINION The most radical element among strikers and the most obdurate element among employers have wholesome respect for and fear of public sentiment. Capital and labor may, in a measure, flout the public interest and defy public opinion. But when the President of the United States in the name and in behalf of the American people, summons these two forces in industry to confer, to reason and to endeavor to find ways and means to settle their disputes and to bring disastrous industrial wars to an end, they respond. Neither of them would dare be openly and flagrantly defiant of public opinion, when a direct issue is raised between them and the public.

The telephone is a monument to the inventive genius of Alexander Graham Bell—one of the greatest inventions of all time. Clubs hold important place in modern life and their activities are very important factors in the progress of the community. When the death angel calls, the great and mighty must go, as well as the poor and humble. Death cannot be bribed or bullied. Europe needs money, and credit, and co-operation...and confidence, and consolation — but aside from these few little things it is all right. For those who are square and honest in baseball, Judge Landis has no terrors. He is cleaning up the game and should be upheld in his efforts. They are killing people in traffic in Los Angeles at the rate of twenty a month; and also are killing them with hammers, shotguns and pistols at a startling rate. There is no more suitable slogan for the old palpitating pueblo than "Safety First." CALLS SENATE "BODY OF AGED MEN" The United States senate is a "body of aged men who sit and gossip." This characterization comes from Congressman Joseph W. Fordney of Michigan, chairman of the House Ways and Means committee. He made the remark in connection with the vexing delay of final action on the tariff measure in the senate. Do the facts bear out Mr. Fordney's sarcastic thrust? There surely are a good many aged men in the senate. And they surely do "sit and gossip" a great deal, to the disgust of the masses of the people. Which is not to say that all senators are old, or that all of them are mere idle gossipers while important legislation is delayed. But, collectively, the senate has been and is dawdling—has been and is dallying with important pending measures and indulging in frivolous gossipy speech, wasting precious time. The spectacle is not at all pleasing or inspiring to the country. "DURO" Residence Water Systems "DURO" Residence Water Systems supply the need of the country dweller in every particular.

NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—The small society in the world. The book est funeral that ever was held on caused more than a bury of int NEW YORK LETTER NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—The smallest funeral that ever was held on Manhattan Island took place in the center of the theatrical district the other day. The casket, which was three inches long, held the body of a canary bird. It was carefully interred in a flower box on the roof of the apartment house at 153 West Forty-fourth street, but is soon to rest in ground bought specially for the purpose under a wild cherry tree near Yonkers. Miss Anna Bird Stewart, the writer of books for childrein, was the owner of the canary, which had been with her for thirteen years. His name was Moses Fleming Wilson O'Connor Etewart. The city is agog over the new novel by Edith Wharton, "The Glimpse of the Moon." You will remember what a thrill was aroused by her previous novel, "The Age of Innocence," by its picture of New York society back in the 1870's. "The Age of Innocence" won the Pulitzer prize from Columbia University. Now she has told a brilliant story of the Four Hundred in the present epoch. Most of the setting is laid abroad, but that gives an opportunity for showing its characters where they are most frankly themselves—when they run over to their villas in Italy, their shooting moors in Scotland, or the hotels of Paris. The story deals with two young people, of high school standing but little cash, whose married life approaches the rocks after they agree to a divorce at the first sign of "something better" for either—and such possibilities appear in an ornate English Earl and an American heiress. It is one of the situations that no one can make more dramatic than Edith Wharton, "The best of living American novelists" as the New York Times calls her in its review of "Glimpses of the Moon." The best of it is that love for each other of these two children of Fifth temptations of the most extravagant avenue finally stands up against the society in the world. The book caused more than a buzz of interest on that same Fifth avenue. The New York Federation Churches is organizing an eminent bureau to be conducted upon their supervision. An office will opened down town immediately; church members will be asked co-operate in finding jobs for applicants. Not in many months has the Side Court had the thrill which given it the other morning when Prince Louis Henri de Chateau-de Bourbon strode majestically court and out again, having been charged by the judge from a plaint entered against him. His tumene consisted of a soldier's cap with two gold bars on it, w collar, white coat with black bar of mourning on the sleeve, and braid trimmings, brown whip trousers, brown puttees and an belt and sword. The mourning, he plained, was in honor of the Czar of Russia. He testified that is "the first Prince of France graduate of Oxford, and a soldier the Russian Royal army. We are getting even with Newsey. This summer, New Jersey has mosquitoes over us in hordes as they never had come fore. We were agitated and offended. We had joked Jersey about her sisters for generations. We wished joke to as it was. It not a pricked our skins but hurt our pants when they swarmed down on us year. But now we are even. We sending out bucket-shops over to sey in exchange. District Attorneys onlaught has frightened them away from Manhattan and the ferries busy carrying them and their equipment over to the Jersey side.

Some sit waiting for the door of opportunity to open, while others go around and climb in the window. The soviet government has authorized the sale of 38 per cent vodka. A man with two or three drinks of vodka under his belt won't care much what his government does. Allan Ryan says he is going to start all over again. When a man has $18,000,000 debts and $16 in cash there isn't much of anything else for him to do. Actors have been notified their salaries are to be cut 30 per cent. Bet the press agents haven't been told about it. STEINWAY The Best is the Cheapest. Easy Terms. F. SIEGEL 422 West Center Street HANNAH L.

Day and Night Service Ambulance HUDDLE FUNERAL HOME WALTER S. HUDDLE, Director Corner Lemon and Broadway Telephones 870J—870M COMMENTS OF THE PRESS WHAT EDITORS ARE SAYING TO SCHOOL IN SUMME R—New York Evening Post Columbia, and many another university as well, this year enrolled the largest summer school attendance in its history. The hunger of Americans for self-improvement is nowhere more manifest in this—that more than a hundred thousand are willing to spend earned leisure going to school, and in hot weather at that. Summer school students are chiefly of two sorts—teachers on their way to higher pay and responsibilities, and undergraduates busy calking the leaks in their records. For the latter summer school is a necessary evil. Teachers expect from such unfortunates no enthusiasm and just enough attention to pull the desired credits out of the academic tests. Luckily for professors marooned on the campus in midsummer, these unfortunates are in a minority. Far more numerous are they who come to summer school eagerly as deer to the salt licks, either because they love learning for its own sake or because the title to learning—a degree—gives each winner more pay and prestige in the teaching lists at home. Of course, some are keener for the degree than for knowledge, since they are well aware that back in Indiana or Iowa no doubter shall arise to question the worth of those lay mystic letters. But there is usually present in summer schools a considerable proportion of students whose serious interest is such as to delight the soul of Minerva herself, to say, of nothing of the souls of professors to a whom such interest is as the breath of life. Indeed, he who delights in giving of his wisdom to receptive minds is almost sure to find himself happier in summer school than in the regular collegiate session. Some institutions, particularly those in or near large centers of population, draw many summer students who come, as the stranger went to the funeral, "for the trip" and the attendant excitements. To the teacher from Gopher Prairie the metropolis means, in addition to classrooms and library, the theatre, lectures, museums, art galleries. Perhaps there has been a tendency in some quarters to make too great concessions to these cravings, and to view the summer session less as a serious educational advance and more as an educational hippodrome, with credits hung up as prizes for all who finish the mad round. That view, however, is passing, and will be gone altogether when the importance of summer sessions is fully recognized. BRICKLAYER'S MONUMENTAL WORK Berkeley (Cal.) Gazette Hotham Browne of Worthington, Cumberland, England, has just completed the brick work at the Oxford Theater in his home town. It took him two years to do it, and in that time he has laid 700,000 bricks single-handed. Throughout the whole period the solitary workman did not miss a day except because of weather conditions, and he ignored altogether the rules of the trade unions of his country, which, it is stipulated, would have limited his accomplishment within twenty-four months to rather less than 450,000 bricks. But this fact, however interesting, is not the point at all. NEW LOW PRICES FISK Standard Non-Skid Tires 80 x 8½ Premier Cl. Fabric - $10.65 80 x 8½ Fisk Non-Skid Cl.
