READ, REGULARLY, OF GOOD LITERATURE The strenuosities and distractions of this age are luring many away from the reading room. Many do not resist the "jazz" with which the very atmosphere of the times is saturated. There is much desultory reading. There are many who browse among books somewhat, but do not read thoroughly, or use poor taste in choosing their reading. Reports of libraries, it is true, show that there is a goodly circulation of the classics and of solid reading. But there are great numbers of persons who read little or none of the grand old works which have stood the test of the ages. This is regrettable. It is reflected in the conversation and in the writings of the times. One does not hear the masters of literature quoted so often as in days agone. Even among the cultured, modern writers have crept in and usurped the place of the classics. The world has gone forward. There has been improvement almost beyond measure in many things. But in literature the old masters are unsurpassed—some of them are without peer. This generation and oncoming generations should not forget these glorious figures of literature. The present should keep in touch with the classic past. The mind is broadened and the vocabulary enriched by reading the super-writers of the golden ages of literature. The United States properly may sympathize with the Obregon government, in Mexico. But the sympathy should not be expressed in terms of guns and ammunition sold to the Mexican government. Selling war materials to that unhappy country would be an unholy, mischievous traffic. College spirit is natural and commendable. Any institution that is worth loving should be loved—and that intensely—by its student body.

College spirit is natural and commendable. Any institution that is worth loving should be loved—and that intensely—by its student body. Love of alma mater is groundwork for love of home and family, and love of country. Encourage college spirit do not decry it. HALT SALE OF ARMS TO MEXICO That steps are being taken in Congress to inhibit the selling of arms and munitions to the government of Mexico by the United States Government is welcome action to great numbers of Americans. Resolutions against these proposed transactions have been introduced into Congress. One resolution would prohibit the sale of arms by the United States Government to any foreign government. In the evolution of peace movements, commerce in war muni-tions should be foregone by the United States Government. This to avoid even the semblance of encouraging war so that war mater-lab could be sold. This country, at all times, should use its influ-ence to discourage warfare anywhere on the face of the earth. Selling war materials to any country where war is proceeding or is in prospect has too much the appearance of fostering hostilities. It is gratifying that Viscount Ishii, who knows America and who is friendly toward this country, is to be foreign minister in the new cabinet of Japan. The murderous creatures who rob, and attack women, and slay the defenders of the attacked; deserve to be hunted down and shot like ravenous beasts.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS What Editors Are Saying AN INFINITE COURAGE (Corning Observer) Politics and personalities aside, it takes an almost infinite amount and quality of courage to openly fight the immense and powerful political machine built up in California by Hiram Johnson while he was governor, and retained to a great extent by ex-Governor Stephens, besides at the same time striking a blow at all office holders and heads of state-wide institutions who are in it only for the money. But that is exactly what Governor Richardson is doing—doing it without fear and without favor. His actions in cutting off needless payrolls here and there; his action in seeing attempted graft and exposing it, of seeing and exposing the ulterior motives behind official action in high places, all tend to make him very unpopular among those who would profit at the expense of the people and of the state and adds grief to the already heavy burdens of his office. But it is bound to win in the end. The average voter of California is patting himself on the back for his foresight in helping to put Friend Richardson in the governor's office, and is beginning to wonder why he would not make a fit running mate for President Coolidge in the 1924 campaign for the presidential offices. There is no better or more honest material in the west for vice-president and the west is entitled to as much consideration as any other portion of the nation and has as many strong, capable men as there is in the world.

"Work hard and be foolish," says a prominent millionaire, "if you wish to live to be a hundred years old. When we learn how to work hard enough and live happily enough, we will never die. There is no reason why the body should be outlived by the mind. Love is another thing that should enter our lives early and stay late." ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT CAN A DUCK SWIM?

There is no reason why the body should be outlived by the mind. Love is another thing that should enter our lives early and stay late." "Work hard and be foolish" is an injunction that is difficult for us to meet. It is easy enough to be foolish, but we feel that the hard-work end of the proposition is entirely out of the question. HOOT MON! Andy Mellon is of Scotch descent, and if he can't cut down expenses for the taxpayers nobody can. Financiers say the trouble in Germany is there are too many marks, but it doesn't seem to do any good to burn them or lose them as fast as they come out. A man we know here in New York sent to some relatives in Germany, a draft for $25. He heard from them the other day. Of course they were delighted with the gift, but it brought its difficulties. They drove to town with a farm wagon and exchanged the draft, which brought something like 12,000,000,000 marks. The wagon, which had high sides for hauling hay, was completely filled and there were enough marks left for another trip. The horses got tired on the second trip and the driver lightened their burden by stopping at a store and buying a package of cigarettes, for which he gave the dealer a half of his wagonload of marks. When Mr. Dawes, American member of the commission to investigate Germany's finances, gets through and makes a verbal report, the Germans will doubtless know that they have heard something, for Mr. Dawes speaks in a manner which Germans can understand and appreciate. What he said about American finances at the time he was controller is still remembered. Most of the present-day whisky is aged in the van. "When I get my electric light and gas bills," writes an inspired contrib resident, "I call it the 'Charge of the Light Brigade.'" One eminent man says nothing in this world is done as well as it could be done, but we would like to have this man see a certain beefsteak that we got in a restaurant last evening.
