I know but half His love, But half discern Him, and but half adore; But when I meet Him in the realms above, I hope to love Him better, praise Him more, And feel, and tell, amid the choir divine, How fully I am His, and He is mine. —Henry Francis Lyte. ALIEN LAND LAW IS HELD TO BE VALID The law of the states of California and Washington, which forbids the ownership of real estate by aliens who cannot become citizens, is held to be constitutional. The United States Supreme Court has given the final word. This settles, once for all, the validity of the course of California and other states of the West in undertaking to exclude Orientals who are ineligible to citizenship, from holding land in these states. This is not inspired by malice or acrimony. That California and these Western states have the friendliest feeling toward Japan and the Japanese people is shown by the quick and generous contributions made here for the relief of sufferers from earthquake and fire in Japan. The people of the Pacific West—the responsible majority of the people—have no desire or purpose to hurt the feelings of the Japanese or to wound their keen sensibilities. But as a measure of self-protection it has been deemed expedient to enact state laws barring from ownership of land in this and other states those aliens who are not eligible to become citizens of the United States. This course, the United States Supreme Court holds, is not repugnant to the Constitution or the treaties of the United States, nor is it deemed contrary to good and proper public policy. It is to be hoped that this final decision will be received with good grace in all quarters and that there may be no more friction on this subject. Europe persists in muttering in the language of bayonets and bullets instead of "saying it" with the flowers of peace and recon ciliation.

ENLISTED MEN DESERVE HIGH HONORS Presidents, through successive years, and high dignitaries of the Nation, well may journey to Arlington National Cemetery and there place wreaths upon the grave of the "unknown soldier," whose body, brought tenderly back from the ensanguined fields of Europe for this special honoring, is typical of the enlisted men of the World War. There is nothing fulsome in saying that the war was won by the enlisted man. Due credit is given, and should be given, to the genius of military commanders in forming battle plans and in evolving strategies. But battle plans and military strategies would be fruitless if it were not for the indomitable courage, the fighting prowess, the resourcefulness and the vim and energy of the fighting men in the ranks. And to the men in the ranks of industry, and trade, and all the important operations of civil life in peace, the same meed of praise is owing. God grant that the day soon may dawn when all battle flags shall be furled forever—when enlisted men no more shall be called to slay each other in the carnage of war. The yearning for peace is taking hold upon the world. "But now, O men of earth, lift happy hands, And shout your loud hosannas in all lands; For out of the very ground Rises a cry, a long, impassioned sound: 'Let there be no more battles. Field and flood Are weary of battle blood."

VERY GOOD FOR THE PRESENT-AL: YOU MAY CLEAR AWAY THE DEBRIS! TAMMANY HEARST FACTION NEW YORK MUNICIPAL CAFE PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) "Ford remains silent." Obviously not running, then. The man who sells you his used car should also turn over his stock of used adjectives. One good way to preserve your health is to omit doing all the things you enjoy doing. Now that the flood in Oklahoma is over, perhaps the dove will find some place to alight. Your friends are those who know you well enough to talk to one another about your faults. Building a political platform is just a matter of finding sore spots to lay the planks on. The middle class may afford Paris frocks, but only the swells can go there for a divorce suit. The danger in a preacher's effort to afford entertainment is that he has so much competition. These men with blank minds usually recover their memory after they get tired of the second woman. Not all nations yet enjoy the blessings of liberty and democracy. A few of us have no dictators. "It is righteousness that makes nations great." Yes; but at times it appears to be greatness that makes them righteous. The alien need not remain idle while learning to speak our language. He might get a job as train announcer. At any rate, the ass that spoke back in Bible times didn't consume half an hour introducing the speaker of the evening. Abe Martin Pinky Kerr bought a good as new bass drum t'day far nearly nothin' from th' Johnson for President Club. We wuz a little skeptical about women votin' till we saw one back into a flat t' curb parkin' space today. When one man takes from a million, that's business; when he gives part of it back, that's philanthropy. Poor Sambo in the north is beginning to realize that he would rather be mistreated by people who like him. "Conciliation of industrial disputants" reduced to plain speech apparently means soaking Peter to pay Paul. You can manage to retain some faith in humanity unless you become a hotel porter or a claim agent for a railroad. When a man talks in that plaintive pathetic way about the welfare of Europe, The objection to a pineapple is that it tastes too much like pine and not enough like an apple. A man is old when the world's goodness no longer awes him, and its badness no longer distresses him. Not only was Zev a winner, but we have politicians who can beat any Englishman in a mud-slinging contest. This country is coming to a pretty pass when a governor can't place his friends on the pay roll without being criticised. European celebrities are funny. When one comes to brag on us, that is free, when one comes to criticise, he charges admission. Correct this sentence: "Honest, Papa," said the little boy, as he read the circus ad, "My cold's all well now." With the cotton price high and the wheat price low, the present administration can't be accused of narrow sectionalism. Funny how some men can enthuse about religion, politics and business, when they might be talking golf. Democracy will be safe when the rotogravure section begins to show pictures of pretty girls doing housework. When an Armenian reads about the Good Samaritan, he doubtless We Don’t Claim —To Sell the Best Clothing Made— But we do claim that there is no better made Clothing than we sell, that’s why we sell Michaels-Stern, and Frat—Suits and Overcoats—for Men and Young Men—Here you can always depend on the correct style—“not a freak style.” Once a customer of this store, always a patron.

Gazette The international anti-alcoholism congress recently held in Copenhagen is interesting chiefly because of its proof of the world's increasing interest in prohibition of one sort or another. The congress had no authority, so that its work can be of an educational nature only, but some of the facts brought to view there should be of particular interest to this country. Norway now prohibits high-power liquors and puts no limit on the consumption of low-content wines and beer. Denmark taxes all alcoholic drinks so heavily that few can afford to drink, and consequently few can afford to follow the trade of selling liquor. Sweden has strict state control of the sale of liquors but does not prohibit them. Different sections of Canada are trying different means of liquor control. The United States is committed to prohibition of beverage alcohol. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENTS THE ONLY ONE They sat on the sofa, he and she. The lights were turned low. They gazed into each other's eyes with perfect contentment. He arranged his necktie for the twentieth time and queried, "Do you love me, Alice?" "Uh-huh, I think so." "I knew you did—I love you, too, Alice—the only girl for me." She, hesitatingly, "Did you ever—ever love any other girl?" "No, Alice—you are the first girl I ever loved, the only girl I ever will love." "Oh, John, I knew it! I love you more than ever." She flushed with pleasure, raised her chin, and looked at him expectantly through long lashes. He took three cigars from his vest pocket, laid them on the table beside the sofa, and started to take her in his arms. She sobbed, 'All men are liars,' and walked majestically out of the room. Now we know why there is so much bad luck in the world. It is on account of the automobiles. It is almost impossible to go out in the street now and find a horseshoe. Ivory has taken a sharp upward turn in price, says a market report, but we feel assured this was not caused by the recent world series. "Oh, John, I knew it! I love you more than ever." She flushed with pleasure, raised her chin, and looked at him expectantly through long lashes. He took three cigars from his vest pocket, laid them on the table beside the sofa, and started to take her in his arms. She sodded, 'All men are liars,' and walked majestically out of the room.

But now Matilda's gone away On her two weeks' vacation; I miss her sorely every day When time comes for dictation. I fancy I should like to see Matilda while at play, Without the poise and dignity She carries every day. I wonder what Matilda'll do By way of recreation, At Ellenville or Timbucoo Or some such wayside station. I wonder if Matilda wore Her bathing suit of blue, And flirted with the men on shore As many maidens do. I wonder if Matilda had Her little kodak cute, And posed for many pictures clad In one-piece bathing suit. I wonder if Matilde, When once more she's on hand, Will say her trip has thrilled her And everything was grand. I wonder if she'll show me Each picture that she took, Or will there be just two or three That she'll hide in her book? I wonder if Matilda Will look like Wesley Barry; I wonder if among the men She found one she could marry. I hope Matilda'll never lack The best of everything. But still I fear when she comes back She'll have a diamond ring. She only has a few days more, I'm hoping for the best; And if she comes back as before My mind will be at rest. —S. H. Turner.
