(Established 1873) (Official City, State and County Newspaper) POWER IN SOUTH AND WEST While Senator Borah complains of the centralization of bureaucratic power in Washington, the New York World, taking a different slant at facts, points out that the nation’s economic and political power, formerly centered in the East, are becoming “‘deconcentrated.” “Great industries like oil and coal and the rail- roads,” says the World, “and banking power itself, are throwing off eastern control. Powerful indus- trial centers have arisen in the West and are rising in the South, which are increasingly independent of New York and Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.” This truth, as anyone can learn for himself by following the news intelligently from day to day. It began, perhaps, with the Federal Reserve System, which decentralized the financial system in Wall Street and spread it around the country. Industrial developments in recent years have in- creased the tendency. An interesting part of this commentary is a refusal to weep over such a scattering of power. “It is no tragedy for the Eas remarks the World. “On the contrary, the decentralization of' economic power is desirable and necessary in a country as vast #s the United States. The people of the East will gain from a more evenly balanced national life. A monopoly of control and prestige is in the long run no good to its possessors.” This is a sporting comment, and also a true one. It might well be accepted in every section of the country as expressing the spirit of a new and more wholesome national development. “We are members one of another,” NOW FOREST DAY Tomorrow is Arbor Day set apart by proclamation to encourage reforestation and to focus the mind of the youth upon the value of the tree and its preservation. In fact the! day has been merged nationally into what is known as Forest | Day and it is to be much broader in scope. Nothing can beautify a city or a state more than syste- matic planting of trees. The practice should become more general. There are miilion of acres in the United States availabte for reforesiation purposes which are not produc- tive except for trees It is known (hat‘trees increase the fertility of the soil. F, Schuyler Mathews in his “Familiar Trees” says: “The forests are t spoages which through their leaves soak up the beneticieit raindrops and compel them to pass slowly through shaded channels to parched lands beyond! North Dakoia uld make this Arbor Day really a For- est Day. Not inercly “plant a tree” but “plant many of them.” “QUICK-LUNCH PROCEDURE” Dean West of Princeton has started discussion of modern education by stating broadly that “instruction is not educa- tion; it is something outside.” Education is something, he | contends, “that is going on inside.” Further he suggest: “Our graduates have boys’ minds in men’s bodies and girls’ minds in women’s bodies.” The elective system is blamed largely for the condition as he sees it. He declares it is a “quick lunch procedure.” The most pleasant and the really ‘‘snap” subjects are eagerly seized upon while the studies which call for hard “digging” | are usually avoided whenever possible. There is food for thought in what this eminent educator says. PREDICTS A COLD SUMMER Lieut. Commander George E. Brandt, aid to the navai hydrographer, states that this summer will be a cold one. He bases his statements upon a study of solar radiation. In Lee he declares that the “summerless” 1816 will be dupli- cated. But at best long forecasts are more or less a guess. The Federal Government moves cautiously within well defined limits restricting its forecasts to a week at least and al! things considered does a pretty good job. A BARGAIN General Lincoln C. Andrews, of whom you’ll hear more as national prohibition enforcer, is described as a national Smedley Butler. This again raises the question whether or eg Butler has been successful in his purification of Philadel- phia. Whether or no, he has been a good investment for the Quaker City. For his exploits have advertised the city in '©@ manner to make a professional Californian or Floridan jealous. i j eS GERMANY Only 20 per cent of the eligible‘failed to vote at the last German election. met .It’s a civically healthy American community that votes better than 60 per cent. : So don’t worry too much about the return of the mon- archy to Germany.

A GOOD CITIZEN GONE (Beach Advance) In the death list week of Walter P.

Of the kindliest disposition, interested in anything for the bettermeut of his town and state, Mr. Macomber, a real work cr where p done, and a quiet ph " ist ani helper of others, will be sadly missed by those, who like the writer, knew him intimately in other days and glad to count him a good |solid basis coal industry is now p' was presictnt and man at Wilton, which he developed from all mine to the largest in the state.

That question is on a par with Alice Duer Miller’s “Are Women People?” At any rate, consider the 16 boys selected by the New York Board of Education for merit, study, initiative and leadership as the group from which one was selected to meet I’resi- dent Coolidge as the representative New York boy. The nationalities represented in the list of 16 are Italian, Austrian, Greek, French, Chinese, Syrian, frish, Russian, Spanish, Polish, Brazilian, Cuban, Argentine, Czecho-Slovakian and German. With the selection limited to that group you can see that it was im- possible to select an American as a representative New York boy.

Rowell “French women do not want to vote,” says sundry Depu- ties, “but since we have so many war widows, and so many | young women foredoomed to be war spinsters, it may be ‘necessary to force political rights on them.” It is on a par with the American slogan, “Vote as you | ilike; but vote ” We all tend to make a fetich of the mere vote, as.if that were the whole secret of self-government and | democracy. | What boots it to vote, if the political system makes that | vote futile or meaningless? No system, to be sure, does |that completely, and the vote is nowhere entirely useless. , But the restoration of local self-government, in France, or the shortening of the ballot in America, would be even more important steps toward democracy than is the expansion of the franchise. A French city would come nearer to self - government with half its people voting and the right to elect its own mayor than with all of them voting and no power to use that vote on their dwn local affairs. More would be gained for democracy in America by mak- ing the ballot short enough to vote intelligently than was gained by extending the right of unintelligent voting to all the people. Voting is important; but the means of making that vote count are equally so. : Figures on the temperature of Mars, as observed during the recent approach, are now given out. Astronomers con- fine themselves to facts, but the rest of us may assume the privilege of speculating on those facts. It appears that the temperature of Mars, at the poles, is about the same as that of the arctic regions on earth. At the equator, the temperature at noon,-in the dark spots, ‘where, if anywhere, life exists, is about that of a cool March day in New York. ~ But since, for purposes of life, the extremes of heat and cold are marked by the freezing and boiling points of water, and water boils on Mars a hundred degrees cooler than on earth, this may be considered a warm | ~~~ or aE: my temperature. the present birth rate continues. ‘’he trouble is that, on these very We can teach these people every- spots, the temperature at midnight| thing we know, of science, of in- jis much colder than it ever gets in| dustry and of organization, but it is the arctic on earth.

Snorealoud and Forty Winks, his clerk, and all the other Snoozers. F But just now he wasn’t sleeping. He was smoking and looking down the road and thinking that business wasn’t very good, because no one had brought # sack of wheat to be ground into flour for ever and ever so long. i Well, while he was watching, up drove the Tattered Man who had married the Maiden All Forlorn, He was no olnger tattered because his wife had mended him all up, besides and now he was @ prosperous farmer, ‘Good morning, Mister Bun,” said he. “I've brought two sacks of wheat to be ground into flour.
