A little thing like a coal strike or earthquake or railroad wreck. or wild west hold- up is just a ripple in the distfirbed lives of people in this world of woe, whirling along in the wake of the great war. Still we think of Uncle Snm«ns the good-natured old gentleman, famed at home’ #nd abroad for his shrewd and liberty-loving ways, and when someone comes along and casts aspersions at the old} boy, it gives us a jolt—and that goes to prove that we are not quite ;oltless, even now. In the notable series of United Press articles now being printed by The Daily Pioneer, the all but pet ified public is indeed getting a shock. «dtart a new party on the proposition of cast- ing out every present member of the United States senatd and that party will win,” a man of might who himself is 3 member of the senate, tells our correspondent. There long has been a feeling that not all mem- bers of the upper branch of the national legisla- ture are as representative of the people’s interests as the servants of a democracy should be. Our So- cialist friends have' capitalized this feeling to' the extent of parading the idea that the senate should be done away with entirely and that no good pur- pose_can be served by this American “House of Lords.” The Lorimer episode, 80 flagrant that the late Theodore Roosevelt refused to break bread at the same table with Senator Lorimer; the Isaac Stephen- son scandal in Wisconsin and the more recent New- berry upheaval in Michigan are incidents which weave a net of prejudice against the senate. We Americans are prone to jump at conclusions and sometimes we do not'weigh all the evidence as carefully as we should. . In our disgust over some senators and some of the acts of the senateitself we may be easily led into a grame of mind which: causes us to look upon the senate as a club of nch men, who are bald, brazen and baneful—(orge the ‘great minds which through the decades’ helped solve the problems of the nation; torgemng that the senate, not without its shortcommgs. has.,, nevertheless time and time aga'n sat in cool, calm, wise judgment on legislation hurried to it-by:an.: over-hasty house of representatives. When every- thing is said and done, the United States senate, viewed as a composite body, from the birth of the Congress down to the present moment, may sincere- 1y be looked upon by Americans as “the greatest deliberative body in the wprld.” o AR L o8 | 'WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

'The natural thing:to do is to work—to recognize that prosperity and happiness can be obtained only through honest effort. Human ills flow largely from attempting to escape from this natural course. I have no' suggestion which goes beyond accepting in its fullest this principle of nature.

Never a dance do the Japanese girls shimmy at. Never a class do they “cut” to get a hot fudge. “Dates” ara as gearce with them as galoshes on a summer ‘day. All of which was deduced from a’ talk with Miss Elizabeth Ilisley, Evanston, Ill, recently head of the music department at I’obe college, Japan, “Japanese girls are much better stu- dents than American girls,” Miss Ilis- ley sald. “No discipline is nceded; they are so eager to learn. "They don’t have much fun, though, except among themselves.” Unless a girl is converted to Chris- tianity, she sald, a college eduention does not interfere with her mareringe, because It is already arranged by her parents. “Japanese girls are qulet. Most of them have an earnest ambition to come to the United States and study. They don't want to stay, only to learn what they can and return to help their pwn women.” Although Miss Tilsley would not say that Japanese women are gossips, she adnitted that they serve tea from morning until night to any callers that /7@rop in.
