Fault finding and grumbling over economic conditions may relieve our exasperation to a slight extent, but they do not remove the cause for complaint. BN Patience is a virtue, and virtue wins its own reward, but only when both are followed to a logical L:onclusnon. ) Conditions in this country are not satisfactory, but vocifer- ously voicing our dissatisfaction will not improve t}lem. Patient and systematic effort toward producf:mn and econ- omy will restore prosperity in time, but uncertinty and con- tinued vacillation will have only the opposite effect. | Wisdom points the road for us to follow. The way may be long and the toil may be great, but the reward of perseverance awaits us at the end of the trail. 0- YAPPING ABOUT YAP ' The little island of Yap, about the relative size of a sunfish in a big lake, is essential to the United States cable interests, and the allies promised President Wilsno that American inter- ests therein would not be jeopardized. They forgot their promise. They handed the mandate for Yap over to the Japanese. The United States protested. Japan stands pat and refuses to yield her mandatory | powers. Now the government at Washington is suddenly increasing the garrison of American troops in Hawaii by 125 per cent, and at the Panama canal by more than 300 per cent ‘What next? 0- Many young men who gleefully left the farms and rushed to the great cities a year or twosago are now wending their way sadly back to that haven from whence they fled. Three squares and a place to sleep again look good to them. 0 The city authorities of St. Louis are a charitable bunch. They have just handed Henry Ford’s newspaper a valuable lot of ‘advertising free of charge. Newsboys are forbidden to cry their sales of the paper on the public streets. 0 Baseball grafters who disgraced the national game a few months ago are to escape prosecution because of the “corrup-| tion of witnesses,” it is announced. Quite to be expected, you know. Corruption of witnesses—and who else? —PRIGE ¢ Woe are intensely proud of the fact that our “Daytona 6-66" model broke the world’s stock car record for speed.
