Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETINGS TO OUR READERS Let me not wonder why—Love reigns in all His ways— But let me look, with loving eye—Till wonder ends in Praise. —Julius H. Seelye Turkey Is Driven Into Asia by Treaty The treaty of Lausanne, just signed by representatives of the Allied Powers and Turkey, will rank among the historic compacts which have influenced the course of human events and development. The Ottoman empire is divested of its power and glory. The Osman dynasty—oldest in the world—goes to extinction. In a wild province of Western Asia the Turkey of the future is to have its seat of government. Constantinople is only nominally held by the Turks. To all intents and purposes, the Turkish empire in Europe is at an end. The next move in the Near East, in the fulness of time, should be to drive the Turks completely out of Constantinople. Europe should be rid of the baleful presence of the bloodiest race that ever occupied any portion of European territory. The new treaty should foster peace throughout Europe and should contribute toward a better understanding among the great powers of the world. A pessimistic note is heard, occasionally, from some influential source, as to the danger of another great war in Europe. But there are reassuring conditions which augur peace. It is to be hoped that never again may Mexico be rent with bloody strife and murderous brigandage, such as prevailed during the time that Villa was leading his robber bands, plundering and slaying. The administration of General Obregon has pacified Mexico very thoroly. Filipinos Misled by Agitators It is to be hoped that never again may Mexico be rent with bloody strife and murderous brigandage, such as prevailed during the time that Villa was leading his robber bands, plundering and slaying. The administration of General Obregon has pacified Mexico very thorny. Filipinos Misled by Agilitators The very cause which they profess to love, those Philippine agitators are marring and hampering. Independence cannot be hastened by bullying demands, or browbeating nagging by Filipino leaders. The antagonism to General Wood also is a grievous mistake. He has given and is giving faithful and fearless service to the Philippines in a very delicate, exacting position. He should be supported, rather than opposed by certain elements in the Philippines. The United States, in administering the islands, is not oppressing the Filipinos and is not depriving them of liberty. The islanders are immeasurably better off, in every way, because of the guardianly care the United States has given and is giving them. Peace has been maintained. An educational system has been developed, which is a boon to the islanders. The Filipino masses, through this systematic dissemination of knowledge, are being fitted for self rule. The islands are coming along well, and the benevolent services of the United States there should not be answered by ungracious insistence upon immediate independence. Thousands of lives are sacrificed needlessly in preventable accidents. It behooves all to exercise reasonable care, to avoid the mishap which might be fatal. Discourage All Freak Air Feats The "stunt" flyer should be repressed. He is not bad, personally. In truth, he usually is a hale fellow. All the more reason why he should be strained from risking his life in performances which cater only to the morbid in the crowds. These "stunt" feats not only endanger the flyers themselves, but they imperil others who may be in the path of disaster when the airship begins to fall. Municipalities can do much to check this hazardous folly. By forbidding such performances, the danger can be nipped in the bud. There is no warrant for freak feats of this kind. It should be entertainment enough for the normal person to see a flyer going through the air in the ordinary ways, without freakish performances. Those who demand death-defying "stunts" to sate their morbid appetites for thrills, should be deprived of their feast of danger. Air Defense Is to Be Made Adequate Twenty-five millions for United States Army air service next year is to be asked of Congress. This sum does not seem to be excessive. If applied economically and intelligently to the augmentation of equipment and to improved efficiency of service, the aerial arm of national defense soon should be ample to defend successfully this country against any attack which might be made upon it. Other great military powers are giving more attention to the strengthening of their aerial military equipment. The United States should keep in line on this so that war ever men- Air Defense Is to Be Made Adequate Twenty-five millions for United States Army air service next year is to be asked of Congress. This sum does not seem to be excessive.

Other great military powers are giving more attention to the strengthening of their aerial military equipment. The United States should keep in line on this, so that, should war ever menace this country, it may not be found lacking in this essential element of national defense. As commercial air service develops, a strong auxiliary service could be developed, by which commercial airships could be converted to military uses in war time.

NEW YORK LETTER By LUCY JEANNE PRICE NEW YORK, July 30.—Direct action is not always expected in a court of law. But Andrew Bott demonstrated it at the Gates Avenue Court in Brooklyn, when he had an erstwhile friend arrested for stealing a pair of shoes. The accused person was held on bail and the court thought that took care of things for the present, but Mr. Bott insisted that since the stolen shoes were even at that moment on the prisoner’s feet, the first thing to do was to make him give them back. So the shoes were removed right there and the accused friend had to leave the court of justice barefoot. If James E. Meade, Brooklyn manufacturer, can go on a two months’ trip to Europe and spend only $500, including steamship fares, he will win $3,000, bet by a friend of extravagant tastes. Mr. Meade grew impatient at traveling Americans who come home and tell about the extortionate prices charged them abroad. He is taking the trip and the bet largely to prove his contention that it’s all exaggerated. Mr. Meade will leave the vessel at London, go through the British Isles, visit Paris and the French battlefields, Switzerland and Italy, whence he will return to Cherbourg and sail for home in September. POEMS THAT LIVE ETHIOPIA SALUTING THE COLORS Who are you, dusky woman, so ancient, hardly human, With your woolly white and turban’s head, and bare, bony feet? Why rising by the roadside, do you the colors greet? (Tis while our army lines Carolina’s sands and pines, Forth from thy hovel door thou Ethiopia com’t to me, As under doughty Sherman I march toward the sea.) Me master years a hundred since from my parents sunder’d, A little child they caught me as the savage beast is caught, Then hither me across the sea the cruel slaver brought. No further does she say, but lingering all the day, Her high-borne turban’d head she wags, and rolls her darkling eye, And courtesies to the regiments, the guildons moving by. What is it, fateful woman, so blear, hardly human? Why wag your head with turban bound, yellow, red and green? Are the things so strange and marvelous you see or have seen? —Walt Whitman. ABE MARTIN PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLEN In soviet Russia every proper jail sentence begins with capital. As our entry in the Bok peace competition, we suggest a substitute for oil. If Ford is to become president, we insist that he appoint Edsel secretary of war. About the only words that are more thrilling than “Attaboy” are “Two Weeks With Pay.” If he can be away for a month or so without affecting the output, he is called an executive. Correct this sentence: “Their picnic was planned for Sunday and not a cloud appeared in the sky.” Money has wings, but too much of it doesn’t help a youngster to sprout any. Another good intelligence test is a good stretch of road and a car that will do seventy when wide open. The only objection to the first watermelons is that they taste too much like water and not enough like melons. The ideal political platform must be long enough to afford parking space for all the popular grievances. Having a beauty doctor make over one's face has been presumed to be largely a feminine indulgence. A few years ago any man who tried it would be put down as not quite sturdy in his manliness. But the latest person to sue for damages because of an untransformed countenance after paying large sums on such a promise is a vigorous Bronx butcher. His whole family has been good looking, he testified in court, and it struck him that he wasn't up to their traditional standard. So he went to an expert who assured him that photographs of his handsome ancestors would fade into humility at sight of his transformed face after a few treatment. Nothing of the kind took place, and now, Edward Back, the Bronx butcher, is suing for his $200 back. It is one thing to look like Valentino, and another to suggest a comic valentine. Gilbert Miller who has lately been having his own way in the porducing business, has just returned from the other side, all enthusiastic about the stage of Budapest. "Hungary is surging with talent," according to Mr. Miller. "Budapest may be said, in a sense, to be turning out far better French plays than is Paris." To demonstrate his statement he plans a production of Molnar's "The Swan," with Eva LeGallienne in the leading role, for the coming season. This is in addition to many other offerings, including, "Casanova," and "Four Men in Dress Clothes," which the Charles Frohman Company will give us. What is it, fateful woman, so clear, hardly human? Why wag your head with turban bound, yellow, red and green? Are the things so strange and marvelous you see or have seen? —Walt Whitman. ABE MARTIN Mrs. Lafe Bud's maid has only been with her three years an' already she knows enough not t' fill th' water glasses too full. No wonder th' feller that starts th' day with a smile is an optimist. HERE AND THERE What we can't understand is how a weak tire always knows when you leave the jack at home. A diplomat is a saleswoman who exhibits a size 44 frock and calls it a pretty thing. As a place to spend Sunday the church may have some disadvantages, but it never turns turtle. Travel is disturbing at times. The Prince of Wales might be content to marry some nice girl and settle down if he hadn't visited America. Money has wings, but too much of it doesn't help a youngster to sprout any. Another good intelligence test is a good stretch of road and a car that will do seventy when wide open. The only objection to the first watermelons is that they taste too much like water and not enough like melons. The ideal political platform must be long enough to afford parking space for all the popular grievances. It won't be at all difficult to establish universal peace once we have eliminated human nature and the Balkans. Let's not have an avowed "wet" as president. Let him drink it on the sly. We must, at any cost, preserve our honor. "The great problem is not production, but distribution." "That's right. Why should all the children be wished on the poor? Slaying a dragon to rescue a malden in distress couldn't have been much worse than changing a tire for her a mile from a shade tree. Some people go right on using fruit juices to make jelly when they haven't a beverage on the place that affords a kick. Harding may run a tractor and win the farm bloc, but 100 per cent will wait to see how well he handles tar and feathers. Another disadvantage about living in a small town is that you can't put on enough swell clothes to make people think you sick. And so you wish to know how Europe feels toward America. Well, how do you feel toward the chap who holds the mortgage on your car? It is estimated that 17 per cent of the June brides have now learned that the masculine nature does not yearn for mayonnaise dressing. MONDAY, JULY THIRTIETH, 1923.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING YOU BUY TO THE RIGHT—San Francisco Journal. A dealer in general electrical merchandise in Harrisburg, Pa., made a recent discovery that may prove of value to merchants everywhere, especially the proprietors of small stores. This man noticed that of the two telephone pay stations in the rear corners of his store the telephone on the right took in four times as many coins as the one on the left. He tried out the theory that for some reason or other people turned unconsciously to the right. He cuecked the sales of various counters. He placed slow-selling merchandise on the right of his store and rapid sellers on the left. He shifted his goods around in all possible ways, and came to the conclusion, reported in "Electrical Merchandising," that new goods and novelty goods on the right and staple articles on the left make for the quickest turnover all around. The discovery is a novel one, and yet its premise is natural. People are right-handed. They keep to the right in walking or driving. They turn to the right. Entering a store in the preoccupied manner of one intent on certain purchases, what is more natural than to walk and look at the goods displayed in that direction. Here is a habit salesman ready and willing to speed up your turn-over. Why not co-operate with it? ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT BY ROY K. MOULTON THE CARD SANDWICH Col. George Dalton tells us Of an insident of the old days When New York men played cards And there were some big games Going on the the best hotels One day a prominent New Yorker Who was also a card sharp Dealt himself four aces but—He made a mistake and dealt Himself six cards instead of five, Which was a violation of ethics. Realizing the situation, the man Ordered a ham sandwich, and it Was brot to him immediately. He sat munching the sandwich As the hand was played out. Naturally he won the pot. Another player had spotted the Sixth card, and he quietly asked, Where is your sixth card? What sixth card asked the winner, Then the colored waiter spoke. Gents—he said—I sees What he did with the sixth card, e chucked it into a sandwich An' he eat it up. I sees him. If the blamed pedestrians would only stay off the streets the traffic problem would be much easier to solve.

THE THREE W.'S Keep your eye on the girl who always allows her mother to do the housework while she idles about town. Soon you will see her with a sporty dude for her best fellow and she wears the extreme in fashionable clothes; then she gets married, and you can safely predict that her lot in life will be weeping, wailing and washing.—Houston (Mo.) Herald. You hear few married men demanding personal liberty. They know there ain't no such thing.
