DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Ask the saintliest men and women of this world whether their holy watch was continuous, and their faith and love as reliable as their thought, and they will tell you how long, even when they went up to be with the Saviour on the Mount, have been the slumbers of unconsciousness compared with the priceless instants when they were awake and beheld His glory.—James Martineau. Turkey sits heavy on the stomach of Europe. Nearly everybody is taking politics politicians. Europe will have political dyspepticly except the candidates and the slim so long as it attempts to digest Turkey and assimilate it into its body politic. Late pictures of Chief Justice Taft indicate that he has been reducing. But he is not what might be called a slim man. One by one the old-school political bosses are passing into eternity. The people should see to it that they leave no successors. One way to help bring about prosperity is to work for it and to believe that it is coming. Faith and works help to make the prosperous wheels go round. Uncle Sam will not grubstake Europe unless there is assurance that they will relegate militarism over there and settle down in earnest to do the day's work diligently. Should rival political alliances be built up in Europe, peace could not be maintained. The old order of WORLD ECONOMY MEET Europe's desperate economic situation is developing conditions which make a world conference imperative. The next meet probably will include the United States. This country is not averse to participating in an European economic conference, provided the program of the meet is confined strictly to the consideration of economic problems and is not turned into a political jugglery. The trouble in Europe it seems from expert reports, is the lack of co-operation among the nations, in economic affairs. Each of them is striving for its own advantage. There is woeful lack of harmony, co-ordination and team-work. Should the United States participate in an economic conference of the kind contemplated, it would insist upon a co-ordinated system for economic betterment, and it also would insist upon greater economies by European powers, particularly as to the maintenance of huge standing armies. If the United States is to assist in the economic rehabilitation of Europe and, in a measure, is to underwrite it, this country would, and should, demand that Europe abandon militarism and eliminate extravagance and waste, and reduce governmental expenditures to a business basis.

Should rival political alliances be built up in Europe, peace could not be maintained. The old order of things must pass away before Europe can be brought into enduring peace. Each and every mine in the state of California should be made as nearly absolutely safe as it is possible for human ingenuity to devise. The Argonaut horror should result in better safeguarding of live in mines. The boon of public libraries should be prized highly by the people. The young folk of today have infinitely greater and better opportunities to read good literature than had the boys and girl of any generation of the past. Baseball, this year, in the major and minor leagues, seems to have been kept clean. It has been free from open scandal except in the case of Pitcher Phil Dougas. The sport is regaining the confidence of the public, severely shattered by the scandals of a few years ago. Neither the government nor the people should fail to do the handsome thing by the service men of the world war. Deserving of especial consideration are the sick and disabled. They should not feel the pinch of want or be the victims of indifference and neglect. BE A CONSTRUCTIONIST Be interested in the public schools. Let your interest be alive, alert, constructive.

Talk to the teachers. Get their confidence. Learn of the difficulties with which they have to contend.

If you have children of your own in school, discuss their school work intimately with them. Get their viewpoint. Evidence your sincere interest in what they are accomplishing. Impress upon them the vital importance of having an education. Do all these things seriously, earnestly, as an important part of your obligation as a citizen and as an active friend of popular education. The United States is a worldpower, but not a mischievous meddler in the affairs of other parts of the world—particularly their politics. Turkey in Europe lives yet in the jealousies of the powers. If there were outright, unselfish, unreserved co-operation among the great powers of Europe in dealing with Turkey, such crises as that now prevailing in the Near East would not be. So very many troubles are imagined. They are not real. Much trouble is borrowed without any collateral, so to speak—that is to say, there is no real cause about which or upon which to borrow. It is all in the imagination, and apprehension and groundless fear.

The British public is fast learning that many members of the peerage got their titles through purchase, or "pull" of some sort, and not by merit. In fact, so much disclosure of the truth has been made of late as to give rise to a Parliamentary inquiry and public scandal. So Premier Lloyd George virtually was forced to set up the very lame defense that "he had never departed from precedent." Of which excuse the London Spectator remarked that "precedent in this matter has never been above reproach. The London Post, a few days earlier, declared it had evidence that agents of the government actually approach strangers "with offers of honors in return for money," adding: There is even a regular tariff. The price of a knighthood ranges from £10,000 to £12,000. A baronetcy is scheduled at from £30,000 to £40,000. Then, of course, there are the higher realms, with prices in proportion. The aspirant, is further, very kindly furnished with a catechism or quotationnaire, which we have seen. Regarding that detailed declaration, the Spectator, one of the oldest, most respectable and conservative of British publications, observed: There is a widespread conviction that the granting of honors in exchange for money, though the transactions are disgusted, amounts to corruption—a form of corruption which, if it is allowed to continue, will bring democracy into putrefaction. Another way of breaking into the British peerage and so obtaining "the castle of Vere de Vore," is through publication of a "thick-and-thin" party newspaper. A London journal recently gave the names of these eight titled persons, each the owner of a Sunday paper published in the metropolis: Viscount Northeriffe, Viscount Rothermere, Lord Riddell, Lord Dalziel; Sir William Berry, Bart; Lord Beaverbrook, Viscount Astor and Sir Edward Hulton, Bart. And it was remarked that all these men obtained their titles, or an advancement in rank, within the past six years; also that there was scarcely a single great newspaper in England without "a title owner," a titled editor or a titled London representative." Yet, by way of contrast, the comment was made that not one of the half dozen most distinguished English journalists—distinguished in public estimation by merit and achievement—had been willing to seek or accept a title, although any owner of a powerful journal could have one for the asking, or even without asking. Yet, in the face of all this, one frequently hears "Americans" deploring the "political corruption" which they say pervails in this country, and comparing it with the "purity of public life," they fancy to exist in England! In reality it would seem, at the present rates for peerages, that it will not be many years before the House of Lords will infinitely more representative of money and especially of the newly rich, than of what has SPY Steinhauer Germany's master sword has returned to London, according Scotland Yard detectives who looked for him.

"Broke" PARAGRAPHS By Robert Quillen The best amplifier for the call of duty is twins. When the prodigal son comes home now, he merely gets a roast. Never give way to temptation without first consulting a lawyer. Life is just a slow and painful process of accumulating bad habits. Few magazine stories are as thrilling as the ads, about learning to write scenarios and increasing your best measure. "Death toll of automobiles over 12,000." This includes those who dropped dead when a woman driver gave them the right-of-way. And yet "The Tiger of France" by any other name would still be propaganda. An experienced married man knows when his wife calls him honey that he about to get stung. "He loved her now, whereas he hated her before," remarks a novelist. Before what? Breakfast? The worm will turn and even the boot-licker shows a little backbone when full of boot liquor. They will have few quarrels to make up if he never sees her in the morning until she is made up. No doubt the German version is: "When thieves fall out, honest men can dodge reparations payments." The strangest thing about the account of the flood is that it makes no mention of an American relief ship. The land of the free has changed considerably in the interval between realms, with prices in proportion. The aspirant, is further, very kindly furnished with a catechism or questionnaire, which we have seen. Regarding that detailed declaration, the Spectator, one of the oldest, most respectable and conservative of British publications, observed: There is a widespread conviction that the granting of honors in exchange for money, though the transactions are disgained, amounts to corruption—a form of corruption which, if it is allowed to continue, will bring democracy into putrefaction. It long has been notorious in this country that William Waldorf Astor and numerous other members of the modern "nobility" got their titles through "liberal donations" to party campaign funds, thus giving a new meaning to the familiar words of Burns, that "the rank is but the guinea's stamp." Violence is hateful and unwarrantable in this country. The law of the bullet and bludgeon, if given reign, would drive this Nation into anarchy.

The land of the free has changed considerably in the interval between pioneer settlements and strike settlements. Giving the vote to women accomplished one good thing. Politicians refer less frequently to the "plain" people. Her father never gets a chance to give her away if her small brother does. The readjustment period offers no more inspiring example than the way hairpla manufacturers turned to curl papers. It was only a question of time, anyway, until somebody would have killed Ananias for lying about his golf score.
