EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Know'st thou the land? Wherever friendly eyes Beam faith and constancy—where true love flies. Glad tidings of good-will and peace to bear, Where service is divine—God everywhere— There dawns the perfect day that never dies, In Morning-land. —Willis Boyd Allen. AMERICA IN STATUS OF WORLD POWER The United States has become a world power, in the best sense of that term. Not by conquest and subjugation; not by high-handed, militaristic, imperialistic misuse of force has this country become a world power, but through benevolent offices. This country is a world power because of the good it has done, is doing and is eager to do in the world. The United States is not, never has been and never should be a domineering world power. It has not made political alliance with any power or any group of powers, nor should it ever do so. But it has co-operated with other powers for the good of mankind. It has compacted itself, in the arms conference agreements, with other powers for the reduction of naval armaments and the promotion of peace. In missions of peace and mercy this country well may work in unison with other powers. But never in political matters. There is much that may be done, in conjunction with other powers, outside the province of politics and political alliances, that is entirely properly engage the attention and interest of the United States. God is manifest in the tiny flower, as well as the giant mount tain; in the rippling rill, as well as in the swelling ocean. The whole universe—all created things, great and small—speak of God and say: "He is good."

The whole universe—all created things, great and small—speak of God and say: "He is good." RAIL COLLISIONS TO BE OBVIATED Greater and greater is the measure of safety to be had in travel on steam and electric railroads. There has been very gratifying advancement, in the last few years, in safety appliances which really are meritorious. The number of rail collisions is small now, compared with a few years ago. The number of fatalities in railroading steadily grows less. An important advance in railroad safety seems to have been made by the Rock Island railroad. This big system has installed its lines, from Chicago to Rock Island, a new safety device which will stop automatically a speeding train against which a block has been set, even though the engineer may not be in the cab. Railroad experts claim that this Regan device makes the operation of trains 100 per cent safe from collisions. Progress toward safety in transportation is an evolution to be welcomed. Railroading, once quite hazardous both for employees and for those who travel by rail, has been rendered so safe that loss of life is much smaller than formerly, even though the number of persons employed in railroading and the number of passengers carried show enormous increase.

CONGRESS PARAGRAPHS (By Robert Quillen) A man is old when he begins to enjoy watching himself for symptoms. Casus belli. A Latin term, meaning an equal admixture of envy and fear. If you are not afraid of progress and don't hate the rich, you belong to the middle class. What Mellon says about reducing taxes probably won't have as much weight as the doughboy vote. Our leisure class may not be as swell as England's, but it can shoot a better game of pool. That gentleman who says there is no more hunting to try a man's courage should try hunting a job. Another dance record we wish to see broken is the one the neighbors play until 11:30 P.M. Those who would limit the supreme court's authority to veto laws, have a naive faith in Congress. We favor breach of promise suits. A declaration of love is a bona fide offer of a meal ticket. The chief cause of crime, however, is the existence of a large number of people who are criminous. ABE MARTIN WHO'S WHO IN THE DAY'S NEWS EDWIN P. MORROW When Gov. Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky steps out of office Dec. 10 he will step right into a new job. He has accepted the appointment tendered him by President Coolidge to be a member of the United States railroad labor board. He will succeed R. M. Barton, who recently resigned. The rail labor board post was offered Gov. Morrow by the late President Harding, but the Kentucky executive did not care to resign at that time. Morrow is ending his first term in the governor's chair. He is a native of Kentucky and was born in Somerset, Nov. 28, 1878. He studied at St. Mary's College, at Williamsburg, Ky., Institute, and Cincinnati Law School. He opened law offices in Somerset and first attracted political attention when he ran for governor in 1907. He served as U.S. district attorney for the eastern district of Kentucky from 1911 to 1915. In 1912 he was the Republican caucus nominee for U.S. senator. He was temporary chairman of the Republican National convention in Chicago three years ago and he was talked of as a vice presidential possibility. William J. Fields, Democrat, will succeed him as governor. Another dance record we wish to see broken is the one the neighbors play until 11:30 P.M.

The chief cause of crime, however, is the existence of a large number of people who are criminals. The American standard of living isn't a fixed standard, but remains one jump ahead of the pay envelope. The first essential in the making of a great leader is a constituency that has less sense than he has. If Adam could come back to earth now, he wouldn't recognize anything, except the jokes in the comic weeklies. A study of the Leviathan suggests that we might build ships long enough to dock while their sterns remain outside the three-mile limit. No wonder a metropolis laughs at a village. A village thinks a barn fire is more important news than a divorce. There will be no great monument to John Davey. You see, he only taught us how to save trees, not how to butcher men. An old-timer is one who can remember when it was considered a distinction to be acquainted with a millionaire. To the lay mind it appears that international diplomacy is little more than the business of nagging at France for holding the trumps. Correct this sentence: "Indeed, you won't buy me a new winter suit," exclaimed the wife; "this one is only three years old." DINNER STORIES The prohibition officers had come to the door of Mose Jackson's house on the quest of an illicit still, according to Everybody's. The door was opened by Mose's youngest boy, a pickaninny about seven years of age. "We're prohibition officers, son," said one of the men, "and we've come to search your father's house for liquor." "You won't find no lickah, heah, boss,' said the boy. 'Why, we just gut the mash to soak las' night!" "Boys," said an Irish sergeant one day to a party of recruits he was drilling. "I want you to understand that I'm wan iv the best fellas in the world. Do ye all believe that?" "Yes, sergeant," answered all the members of the squad. "That's all right. I'm a rule good fella except whin I'm on duty, an' whin I'm on duty I'm a bastе. Isn't that right?" "Yes," faintly answered the squad. "That's all right too. An' now just remember, boys, I'm always on duty."—Pearson's Weekly (London.)

Excess food makes excess weight just as excess fuel makes excess heat. Spiders strengthen their webs before the stormmen rebuild theirs after. A twenty year old exercise for a forty year old man isn't good for a forty year old man. Intemperate saint Or temperate sinner; There's much complaint In a Christmas dinner. With the room temperature at 68 degrees, if you feel "chilly" there's not enough moisture in that room. When the digestive disturbances of infancy are due to fermentation, feeding sugars and starches is like pouring kerosene on the fire. They fed the baby catnip. They brewed him ginger tea—and never thought He needed naught Of any remedy. Annual or semi-annual physical examinations, including an examination of the urine, often reveal unsuspected cases of "pyelitis"—(pus in the pelvis of the kidney).

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying REST, IF YOU WOULD LIVE—Forbes Magazine It is all very well to be ambitious. It is all very well—and necessary—to be industrious. It is all very well to concentrate determinedly on one's daily tasks and problems. But if at the same time one does not appreciate the importance of frequently letting down and really resting, then the chances are that one's ambition will be frustrated; one's industriousness will count for little, and concentration will be dismally unproductive of results. Rest, just as truly as effort, is a factor in achievement. The man who does not know how to rest or knowing how, refuses to rest, is liable ere long to have nothing to do but rest. All who accustom themselves to relax frequently while at work will find it easier to relax at play, and indeed will be unconsciously impelled to choose for their leisure hours amusements which really rest them instead of actually fatiguing them the more. And the tragedy of the tension-addict is that, paradoxically, the greater the tax he puts on his nervous system, the more he is impelled to tax it. A vicious circle is set in motion, to whirl faster and faster until there is outright collapse. Myriads have experienced the truth of this. Myriads will yet experience it—unless there is general recognition of the vital need of all business workers for systematic relaxation and rest. ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT THE MAN WE GIRLS FORGET (Chorus Girls' Version) You're the kind of a man we girls forget, Just a boy who'll for a while. For we want the guy who'll always buy A hat or fur coat that's the style. You'll soon understand when you get the cold hand. Your heart may be broken, but why should I cry? When they play, "Here Comes the Bride" I want a sick millionaire by my side.
