AMERICAN INTERESTS IN MEXICO SAFE Should he continue to be consistent with his original policies, President Calles, of Mexico, will find favor in the United States and among foreign interests which are represented in land investments in the sister republic. In developing an agrarian policy, President Calles insists that there shall be strict observance of rights of foreigners. Americans have huge interests, in the aggregate, in that quarter of the world. Encroachments upon these investments, in the past, has brought bitter condemnation from this side of the border. It is well that the government of Mexico is committed to a policy of honesty and fairness toward American capital invested in that republic. This will fortify relations between the two countries. There is nothing that gives a nation better standing thruout the world than to be scrupulously honest in its dealings with foreign governments and with subjects of foreign countries. Repudiation of debts, or deprivations of rights of foreigners by any country, give a bad impression throughout the world. It is with sincere pleasure and satisfaction that the government and people of the United States witness the betterment of governmental policies and methods in Mexico. It is not difficult to withstand criticism and abuse if one is conscious of being in the right. CLEAR ENUNCIATION CLEAR ENUNCIATION Frederick Warde complains of the growing evil of slurring our words. Writers, actors, public speakers and others who have conceived a fondness for the language and who have developed a sense of appreciation for its beauties naturally resent this careless habit of speaking, so thinks the veteran actor. But it is suggested that the language was made for man and not man for the language, and when greater convenience or beauty is found in changing the form or sound of a word, man is going to make the change. And who is to say how much of this habit is evil and how much good, since the language as we speak it today in its purest form is the result of many years of this practise of slurring? Where are we to draw the line? When the labor says he is goin' to work," we shudder, but when the poet sings, "Neath the green boughs," or O'er the lea," we tremble with delight. The workman slurs, the poet elides. It is not to be denied that we are careless in the use of our language, but what are we to do? In this fast age, if we stop to enunciate clearly without slurring or elision, we find that our friends have gone on about their own affairs, not caring to take the time to hear what we have to say. Scholarship should be stressed in universities and colleges. Too much emphasis should not be placed on athletics. It is a boon indeed for the United States not to be mixed up with the political affairs of Europe. Mortgage Guarantee Co. 626 So.

ABE MAKIN DINNER STORIES Most everyone knows by now the reputation of the President for taciturnity. While he was vice president, it is related, a reporter attempted to interview him. "Do you wish to say anything about Prohibition?" was the first question. "No." "About the farm bloc?" "No." The reporter turned to go: "By the way," added Coolidge, unexpectedly calling him back. "don't quote me." The fair penitent explained to the confessor how greatly she was grieved by an accusing conscience. She bewalled the fact she was sadly given over to personal vanity. She added that on this very morning she had gazed into her mirror and had yielded to the temptation of thinking herself beautiful. "Is that all my daughter?" the priest demanded. Then, my daughter," the confessor bade her, "go in peace, for to be mistaken is not to sin." Plain Dealer Classified Ads produce results. Try this medium.

D.: Your letter is too long and too vague as to symptoms to repeat here. From what I can gather your condition would indicate either rheumatism, kidney or heart trouble. Would suggest that you write again, confining your letter to two direct questions, which will then be carefully answered in this column. QUESTION: Mr. I. D. C. writes: I am a man of eighty years old, fairly well preserved, and weigh 155 pounds, but my blood pressure is far too high. Have a dizzy, reeling, and abnormal heart action. Now, please tell me if high blood pressure could kill without my heart giving warning of approaching danger? ANSWER: Abnormally high blood pressure when it reaches the dangerous stage may give warning by pain and oppression in the heart region; difficult breathing; faintness, a dull stupor, delirium, etc., but it usually strikes like a snake in the dark. QUESTION: E. B. asks: I suspect a stomach ulcer, having been a nurse and knowing the symptoms. Have pain back to shoulder blade, acid stomach, dizziness. I diet, eat greens, fruit, banan, etc. Is there a quicker cure diet, fasting, etc. Have been very "run-down"—causing poor digestion and nervous exhaustion from over-work. ANSWER: First of all would suggest that you have a complete physical examination; to see if hip ulcer really exists. An unusual craving for food usually denotes an infectious condition, but it is impossible to judge from stomach symptoms, since there are so many that one can never be positive whether or not an ulcer is present. There is no treatment that takes less time than a fast and would recommend a water fast, taking one-glassful every half hour for about one week. This should be followed by a milk diet, taking about three quartes daily, using a glassful of raw milk every hour. "Effeminized America Would Fall An Easy Prey to First Attacking Nation" That an unprepared and effeminized United States would fall an easy prey to the first virile nation which attacked it," was the Admiral Bradley F. Fiske, U.S.A., Admiral radley A. Fiske, U. S. N., retired. Smug in its plenty, the naval officer pictured the United States as exed envoliously by Russian Germany and Japan, who "want what we have." He described those nations as poor and hardy. America, he found, was rich and indolent. He called for an awakening that would stimulate preparedness. Links Religion and Patriotism Keal Admiral Fiske, in his address, called attention to the fact that religion and patriotism had ever been intertwined in nations that grew great, and that their decline was concurrent with the recession of religious fervor. "At the present day," he said, "the nation which exemplifies the most clearly and the most spiritually the intimate relation between patriotism and religion is the nation of Japan. To the Japanese, patriotism and religion are inseparably entwined, and both are embodied in the person of the Mikado." "The three nations," he continued, "which represent this state the most are Germany, Russia and Japan. There are many thousands of extremely good people in this country, who live in comfort and enjoy the material benefits which the almost boundless wealth of our country confers upon them, but who fail to realize that the people of Germany, Russia and Japan do not live in such lukurious surroundings and that they cannot be justly blamed if they envy us. They realize that we have obtained it largely by means of war, and they can hardly be blamed if they say to themselves" COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying HONESTY IN POLITICS—Presno Republican Some there may be to regard the re-election of Governor Len Small of Illinois, after the ample proof that has been given at various times in and out of court, of his lack of political decency in his relation to public trust, as a proof of the cynical character of voters in general and of the people of Illinois in particular. It may also be regarded as a proof that the character of public life in the United States is growing more hardened and indifferent to the conduct of the men in office. Certainly the last piece of cynicism would be ungrounded. For it has been a fact, from time immemorial, that the public voice has been raised for other idols than men of stern probity of character. The people, in self-governing activity assembled, very frequently have in the past and will many times again in Lee future, respond to the appeal of other human pleas than that of unbending pity. The sincere and intelligent Democrat must know this, and be prepared always to have his idol the "Demos" show feet of clay. For men in the mass are like men individually—the mass has its weaknesses—it can be appealed to on "human" rather than on idealist grounds. We can remember, as a homely illustration, here in California, the fact that several times former Mayor Schmidt or San Francisco can close to being elected again to the office that he formerly so openly and notoriously disgraced. There were grounds of appeal that could be made for him that won a certain proportion of the people of San Francisco, even though he was a despoiler of public and of private funds, and a dishonorer of the public name of San Francisco, a sirarer of bribes and a co-partner in the looting of the public life of that great city. In many other cities and states, and even nations, this is true. But it is not characteristic, if we can make this distinction. It is only rarely that a criminal can be a hero. Sometimes he is a hero because of the enemies he has made, because of the friends. It happens that the fortunes of Len Small, in Illinois, have been involved in many incidental political issues in that state. It happens that his political enemies are side-pursued as his political supporters. The issue has never been made clear. And it happens also that the crime itself, that of making use of public funds for private benefit, has not, up to very recently, been so strictly defined as to fit into the general moral consciousness of vast numbers of people. It is dishonesty. Undoubtedly it was not only a violation of the technical law of Illinois, but Small himself, at the time had a "conviction of sin." But this conviction was not a fact in the hearts of a majority of the voters of the state. Some day it will be everywhere, or we cannot have a clean working democracy. used, "which represent this state the most are Germany, Russia and Japan. There are many thousands of extremely good people in this country, who live in comfort and enjoy the material benefits which the almost boundless wealth of our country confers upon them, but who fail to realize that the people of Germany, Russia and Japan do not live in such luxurious surroundings and that they cannot be justly blamed if they envy us. They realize that we have obtained it largely by means of war, and they can hardly be blamed if they say to themselves that they can get from us what we have because they are morally skilled in war. Japan's Feeling Toward Us "To accentuate their quite natural ambition is the profound conviction that they have been trenured unjustly by the United States. We do not think so, but they do. Especially do the Japanese feel this, for our action towards them has not only been of a kind harmful to their national interests but couched in terms they believe to have been made intentionally insulting. Whether they are right or wrong in this matter, there is no recognized standard in the poor world of ours by which we can decide. The important point is that they think themselves right, and that the paramount cause of wars has been just that combination of a conflict of interest with a conviction on each side that it is right, which now exists between our country and Japan."
