During the early part of 1920, criminals of all| sorts overran the city, causing a veritable reign of terror. ' Finally the leading citizens organiza-| tions decided that the only way to get relief was to take things into thier own hands. A law enforcement association was organized, its watchword being: “Clean Up Kansas City.” There has been a steady improvement in the situation ever since. During the first five months of 1920 there ‘were 19 murders and 1183 burg- laries. During the same period in 1921 there were but nine murders and 695 burglaries, about a 50; per cent cut in these two classes of crime. Highway robberies and auto thefts show a like | decrease. PLAYING HOST As host to the delegates to the Washington dis- armament conference it will be up to the United States government to pay the expenses. It is impossible to estimate what the cost will be, but it is certain to run into big figures. Each delegation will be accompanied by dozens of experts, secretaries, totalling several hundred. It would not be surprising if the conference lasted three months. According to one state depart- ment official, six months is not outside the possi- bilities. One of the big items of expense will,.be the|° printing bill. The printing for one of the Pan-American. con- ferences cost over $100,000, and that was just a side-show compared with the conference that will start in Washington Nov. 11. LODGE The country will never know whether President Harding appointed Lodge the second member of the American delegation to the disarmament con- ference because he considered him the best quali- fied man for the place or because he is the chair- man of the Senate committee on foreign relations. The president had no alternative. To have left Lodge out would have been to have repeated the Wilson mistake of refusing to take the Senate into partnership in the making of the Versailles treaty. Wilson was quite within his constitutional rights in not giving the Senate a “look in” in the Versailles negotiations. But had he waived his rights and conceded’ something to expediency, the history of the world during the past two years would have been entirely different. LOSES FOURTH TIME Mrs. Josephine Dove divorces her fourth hus- band in Washington. Probably she is giving thought to the saying that “marriage is a lottery.” She isn’t the only: one. Plato, the great reporter who wrote interviews with the philosopher Socrates, said this was So- crates’ theory of married happiness or misery: A soul, entering the world, is torn in two— one half, the woman; other half, the man. Each half wanders through life, seeking the other. If they meet and wed—happiness. But if you get the wrong half—misery. And your chance of happiness is one in several hundred millions! But if you took as great a chance in any other lottery and won anything at all, you’d be elated. So, in martimony, make the most of what you’ve got! FATE Stepping out of a bath tub in Omaha, Drew Burger slipped and broke his neck. Fatalists will say, “It was his appointed time. That’s the end fate had in store for him.” Every day, thousands narrowly escape death. Their time hasn’t. come. What end has fate decreed for you? And are you prepared to meet it? Mr. Fordney, Chairman of the House Commit- tee on Ways and Means, voted to put the railroads in the government hands during the war, but not in order to stop the congestion of freight and help forward the defeat of Germany. Explaining in the House the other day why he voted for a meas-| ure of which he now so violently disapproves, he said: “I voted to put President Wilson in a-hole, and we did.” —_—— $7, #2 dex British rule. { { | crosses the international border, at Blaine, Wash-| It seems not to have occurred to i Mr. Fordney that to seek to put the President in ;2 hole during war was to seek to put the country ‘also in a hole. |scious of the damaging self-revelation involved in| ‘his present ‘confession. i EMIGRATION ' Since 1851, 4,388,000 natives of Ireland, men |and women, have emigrated, the vast majority of |them to:the United States.

GAB Here’s a prize baby, 28 months old, speaking 1038 different words. He’s Richard Thompson, of Galesburg, Illinois. | Few highbrows have a vocabulary of more than} 5000 words. Most of us have 2000—and use only 500 in conversation. Even Shakespeare knew only 15,500 different words. The English language adds 5000 new words a year. It already has nearby-600,000. You only have to learn“498,000‘to catch up. . When a governor of Massachusetts has to beg its citizens to be calm and troops have to be called out to prevent the lynching of three negroes for what the Southerners euphemistically describe as “the usual crime,” it may be asserted without fear of contradiction that mob lawlessness and crime are on the increase. EDITORIAL REVIEW _ Comments reprofuged 1m thie: columin Bai cussed is the: Dress ot ee rani THE LADY FROM OKLAHOMA Representative Alice Robertson, of Oklahoma seems to have more than her full shafe -of. the available supply of common. sense’ in Congress. The projectiles from that mind of hers have been going with remarkable steadiness straight to the center of the target. Her:score is one:that might well, put older members of Congress to the blush. ‘A few days ago this level-headed woman of the West told some of her sisters wha are prominent in the League of Women voters that she.does not! represent the women of America in Congress, but| that she does represent the Second Oklahoma dis- trict from which she was elected. She is not ask- ing President Harding to appoint a woman as dele- gate to the armament conference because, she says, she does not know of a woman who is quali-| fied and because no one else has been able to tell) her of a woman so qualified. Alice Robertson seeks no quarter, no favors, no special consideration, in or out of Congress: be-; ~~~ cause she wears a dress and is.the sole unit.of her sex.in the national lawmaking body. : She sees: na, reason why men should bare their heads when | they ride in elevators with her. Her preference, ed .|she says, is that they shall not ‘do so. This in no! wise signifies that she belittles the chivalry that most men are wont to show toward women, She! thinks straight on that. subject as she does. on other things. ' None of this is to say that Representative Rob-| ertson lacks interest in legislation or politics that affect the welfare of women and children. -It is to} say that she is not a sentimentalist; that she does) not permit her heart to lead her head astray. She acts on intellectual processes and not on the im- pulse of emotions. She seeks to see things in the light of what is reasonable, practicable and of | wholesome result. In other words she wants to} be what a member of Congress should be—not a missionary of idealism dreaming all the time of | beautiful, out-of-reach things, but a practical rep-| resentative of a practical people, dealing with) things as they are and desirous of improving them! by the means that are at hand. She knows that she can make no headway in Congress with tears or sob speeches. She is aware that she can do much by intelligent appeals to reason and to the better instincts of humanity. True enough, Alice Robertson has not been long in Congress or in the public eye, but the standards of good sense and good judgment she has thus far set seem to be a dependable earnest of the quality of service she will continue to render to ‘her district, to her sex and to her, country. As a member of Congress she is neither a man’s woman nor a woman’s woman, but a “next friend” of the whole body politic, not content with condi- tions as the are, but content to use her talents’ isanely in the betterment of those conditions. It) is.a part of one’s wisdom to know one’s limitations. | \This Oklahoma woman, knows hers, and knowing} |them she is likely to grow in grace.and stature as counsellor and legislator.—Minneapolis Tribune. | Apparently he is equally uncon-! | i | [MANDA SCHOOLS OPENS SEPT. 6.

And Cob Coon and Chris Crow got in their oroders first. Farmer Smith would have to wait. So Mr. Moon was told to hide his face behind a black cloud that night jand it was as dark as. Robinson Crusoe’s man Friday. Cob Coon slid \down the inside of the hollow syca- more to his basement door. “Popping pop-corn!” he cried. “It’s so dark I can’t see the rings on my itail. Isn’t Sprinkle-Blow fine to send such a night with no moon at all, at iall! I can taste that lovely juicy Yel- low Bantam corn this minute, as well as though it were right in'‘my mouth.” And his moutn started to water like leverything. But he didn’t lose much time try- ing to imagine the taste, of Farmer Smith’s ‘corn when the‘real thing was hanging right within his reach not a hundred yards away. Off he lop- ed with his head low, nosing his way through the grass and low bushes to the corn field. On ‘the edge he stopped. . Such a delicious fragrance met his nostrils that it fairly made him = dizzy with delight; the fragrance of sweet, juicy roasting-ears waiting to be picked. “Oh!” “he couldn’t help exclaiming inté the dark. “Do you smell that? And that? And that? I hope Mr. Moon ‘will stay away for six weeks so that Don the Dog will have to stay at home and mind his own affairs.

There was a noisy “bon voyage” at the ‘docks as the former presidential ship | started on its course, Flags ‘of the United States, and the American Le| * glon flew from tthe mast. Commanding or rather heading the ‘ pilgrimage was John G. Emery, the| _ Legion's national commander. For: mer commanders Franklin D’Olier and} Henry D. Lindsley. were present. . Arriving at LeHavre, the citizen ex- pedition was received with great eclat, after which it proceeded to Paris un- der tow of French officials, From| Paris the party set out by special train) for Blois to attend the dedication of the Joan of Are statue presented to} the French city by the Joan of Arc} Committee of New York. While at Blois, the veterans invaded -the old headquarters of the army re- classification board, known better by the doughboy-as the “benzine board.” Here the Americans staged a burlesque of a benzine hearing during which a score of the pilgrims were “blooyed” | as they used to say in the days of the fighting A. E. F. Every city visited by the former de- fenders has received them’ with arms wide-open, That France has not for- gotten is everywhere evidenced by the cordiality of the receptions. At Bor- deaux, the Legionnaires received the “freedom of the city” from the high officials. From there they went to Tarbes to visit the birthplace of Gen- eral Foch. They placed'a memorial tablet upon the house that first shel- tered the famous generalissimo. ! The former fighters were impressed ‘by the rapidity with which many of the ruined towns haye been rebuilt: Some Legionnaires have gone over the exact location where they fought the battle of liberty and where many of their buddies fell in action. Probably the most impressive cer- emony participated in by the Amer!- cans was the. dedication of the Filrey monument. This memorial ts a tribute { to the valor of the doughboys who delivered the lttle. town of German occupation. Flirey 1s familiar ground to many American soldiers. It ts on the ridge which was the main line of resistance of the old Toul sector. It was at Flirey that the Eighty- ninth, from Kansas and Missouri, went into conflict. Seventeen American divisions fought in the vicinity of the little town, which itself was occupied by regimental headquarters of troops holding the line.
