EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher HELPFUL HENRY When Henry Cabot Lodge, Senator from Nahant, Mass., passes to his final reward, and St. Peter at the Pearly Gates presents him with an entry-bank to sign, he will wave it aside and call for a fountain pen. He will enter heaven itself only with proper reservations. The news from Washington has it that Henry is now busy writing reservations to America's proposed entry into the Permanent Court of International Justice. Having "broken the heart of the world," and staved off peace for goodness knows how long through his fight against the League of Nations, he is now subtly planning to smother, under an avalanche of reservations, President Harding's proposal that we should enter the World court. The President thinks we should not stand on the sidlines forever and rag the other nations while they endeavor to keep the world out of war. He believes we ought to get into the game ourselves and help instead of criticise. And of course, he is right. But Henry thinks differently. If we join the court we should first make sure that we shall boss the court, and second, that nothing the court does will affect us—unless it is nice and pleasant and profitable and we want it to. It is a noble though. President Harding, Secretary Hughes, Secretary Hoover, and many others among the president's advisers, believe our joining the court would go a long way towards helping a stricken world to get on its feet. Will Henry help? Yes—with reservations. Girls dress up like a brass band because boys follow the band.

W. S. Silkworth, president of the N. Y. Consolidated Stock Exchange, says: "Ninety per cent of the persons who invest in Wall street securities lose their money." You might think that such warnings would count. No. Establish anything like a prospect of getting rich quick by standing on your head, and you'd find the air full of feet, sole side up. Always getting into hot water will eventually cook your goose. The bad things that one thinks of others sometimes are but mirroring of the evil that is in oneself. The pure and happy home is the Nation's surest guarantee of soundness and safety. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING EDUCATION BY BLOC New York Post The bloc system as a substitute for the party system may contain some of the dangers chartered by anxious observers. The bloc system as a corrective of serious defects in our party system may yet turn out to deserve well of the country. In all fairness to the much discussed blockaders, the possible advantages should run in a parallel column with the dangers. President Harding and those who feel with him name no names when they register their protest against blocs. But is it pretty well understood that the reference is to a fairly large section of the American people situated between the Rocky Mountains and the Alleghanies and chiefly engaged in the production of cereal crops and hogs. What we now call the bloc movement would once have been called an agrarian movement. And this at once suggests the question. Which of the two evils is the greater: (1) an agrarian movement that cuts across party lines and to that extent is somewhat chastened by party considerations, or 2) an agrarian movement which captures the control of a great party, as agrarianism captured the Democratic party in 1896, and which moves on to the attack with all the momentum of party prestige? Assuming that Capper and Brookhart are a menace, will it be harder to keep in check Capper-Brookhartism in 1924 than it was to defeat Bryanism in 1896? We doubt it. More important are the educational facilities which the bloc opens up. A farmer's bloc that is mobilized for attack is a bloc that is also mobilized for self-enlightenment. There will be raids on the railroads and other "interests" in the next Congress; but already there are signs that the farmers have learned that there is something much more to their troubles than "There's the enemy!" They are learning to think upon what the farmer can do for himself. The rise of the farm bloc has been paralleled with the notable forward movement of the farmer's cooperation in crop financing and in marketing. The bloc is an encouragement to self help. The farmer is learning other things. He may cry out against the railroads out of force of habit, but some of his leaders have been thinking of what the tariff has done to put the farmer at a disadvantage against the city man. They have also been thinking of what economic prostration in Europe has done to rob the farmer of his wheat market. The bloc has been studying as well as fighting. As long as he remained a 100 per cent Republican the Western farmer was tied by party loyalty to the thrift fetish and the keep-out-of- and other "interests" in the next Congress; but already there are signs that the farmers have learned that there is something much more to their troubles than "There's the enemy!"

As the member of a bloc, even when he thinks narrowly of his own interests, he is bound to become a more independent critic of party slogans and party policies. In the long run this ought to be good for the parties.

The king already has made preparations to flee if it becomes necessary. Stamboulisky was planning a coup to regain power and set up a republic with himself as president when he was captured, according to reports. Stamboulisky was captured at Molavi, a village near Slavovitsa. He had fled from Elishintza in an auto. He had disguised himself by shaving off his mustache and donning a chauffeur's uniform.

Women got used to working wherever they happened to be. And so this spring, the most practical of all domestic arts—darning stockings, has been carried to the benches along Riverside Drive. Every pleasant day, up in front of those smart apartment houses, sit rows of women, young and old, plying the darning needle as intently as ever they did the embroidery needle in the less useful days before the war. By all odds the most distinguished passenger aboard the Resolute when it landed here the other day was a huge striped tiger. The beast, which was sent over as a present to Princeton University, weighed 175 pounds and looked decidedly tigerish, but he surprised everyone on board by his gentle and affectionate ways. Once in a playful gesture, he pawed Nina Wileox Putnam, the writer, and reduced to ribbons her Paris frock, but his intentions were always friendly. It became quite the thing to stop and pet him on the head. The tiger is the gift of John F. Howard, of Haverhall, Massachusetts, whose son plays guard on the Princeton football team. Mr. Howard promised last fall that if Princeton beat Harvard, he would give the university a live tiger for a mascot. Princeton made good on its part of the bargain and Mr. Howard started on a shopping expedition in India. He bought the animal at a tiger farm near Calcutta. How and where Princeton will keep it remains to be worked out. POEMS THAT LIVE ENID'S SONG Turn, fortune turn thy wheel, and lower the proud; Turn thy wild wheel thro' the sunshine, storm and cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. Turn, Fortune, thy wheel with smile or frown; With that wild wheel we go not up or down; Our hoard is little, but our hearts are great. Smile and we smile, the lords of many lands, Frown and we smile, the lords of our own hands; For man is man and master of his fate. Turn, turn thy wheel above the staring crowd; Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate.

"Time Flies" says the proverb. Time flew in more ways than one in the household of Martin Brennan, South Boston. Brennan says his wife tossed the timepieces at his head. And her aim was good. He declares, in his divorce action, she did it so he couldn't tell what time she came in nights. She admits she threw one clock at him but doesn't know whether it hit him. He settles that by saying, "Yes!" Thy wheel and thou are shadows in the cloud; Thy wheel and thee we neither love nor hate. —Tennyson. Read Plain Dealer Want Ads.

PARAGRAPHS BY ROBERT QUILLEN The railroads need backing up, of course, but not against the wall. About the only hope is for housewives to raise more cash and use less of it. Slow motion pictures never will attain the ultimate until they show us a lame duck resigning. An undeveloped people is one whose scenery doesn't consist entirely of billboards. The Irregulars in Ireland are doing well, and our spies report that both of them are in good health. It may be a good idea to send Germans to jail, but the darned German stork remains at liberty still. For that matter, statesmanship was slick enough before it began to grab oil. The country that gave us the olive seems a little slow about offering the branch. Well, if France could trust Germany, she wouldn't be so anxious to bust her. Chinese bandits are funny. They get back into the mountains instead of getting into the taxicab. A concession in Turkey is all right, but the Atlantic is more difficult to cross than the Rio Grande. Correct this sentence: "Our vacation won't cost so much this year," said the wife, "because I won't need any new clothes." Every time the Allies are in danger of a split, Heinle comes forward with something to make them mad enough to love one another. Some political leaders remind us of the preacher who selected the Mormans to denounce because there were none in his neighborhood. The black laborer from the South may be a little slow to learn, but he also is slow to learn bomb-making. Poor mistreated Germany makes a new offer of settlement every time she can think of one sufficiently tricky. There are a few things more embarrassing than having your grocer drive up while you are paying cash for your gasoline. Colleges are essential, no doubt, but their hazing technique seems little superior to that taught in convict camps. The difference between the people's representative and a lobbyist is that the lobbyist knows what he is there for. A Western forman killed a man who wouldn't lay brick. Probably an embittered poultryman who got that way dealing with idle hens. "The measure of hospitality", in these decadent times is liquid measure.
