PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH NEW YORK - Fifth Ave. Bldg. {Official City, State and County Newspaper) The Foreign Viewpoint A glimpse of “oursel’s as ithers see us” easily is | obtained in the dispatches which foreigrecorrespond- ents visiting here send to their papers across the sea. ABondon scribe breaks forth in a three-column expose of our weird eating customs. He writes that New York is the “City of Innu- merable Restaurants”—that ‘nobody eats at home in ‘New York.” .He adds that the servant problem and high rents, which prohibit kitchens, explain this. While he admits that New York is the most flagrant example of any American city of restaurant dining, he comments that “practically all America is’ a’dining-out nation.” It-is interesting to note the many paragraphs which he devotes to the cafeteria. He tells just how the patron provides himself with a tray and se- lects ‘his dishes from a steaming row, thus saving time. and labor. This European viewpoint is interesting for two reasons. First, because it is a splendid example of how impossible it is for any stranger in our midst ta get a vision of America, the many-sided, as a whole. It is ludicrous to call us “a dining-out na- tion,” when for every family which dines out of an evening there are hundreds which do not. Second, it is interesting to see a foreigner find interest in things so commonplace to us that many never give them a thought; things such as cafe- terias, for instance. : “You Know How Kids Are!” Did Miss Florence Cochran, 19-year-old school- | teacher of the corn belt, tell her little pupils naugh- ty stories, or did she not? ‘And just what was the story which, retold by Willy or Susie at the paternal supper table, irked the irascibies of the vale of Indianola, 1a.? *Was it the one about the two Irishmen, why, or the one about th ken cross the road? all het up.” But the kids rbtained by the di- “nce as teacher, has closed tion he school. Miss Cochran is fighting to get back in, declar- ing that if the children heard naughty stories, it was not from her. She in part tells her own story to'the effect that one of the big boys peddled about risque story told him by his papa. “Now, not all the evidence is in, but we are rather betiing on Miss Florence, for we know kids. “We would not insult Miss Florence's intelligence by. assuming that she has lived 19 years and knows no risque stories. But & girl who chooses teaching as her job is not apt to be so dumb as to tell her stories to her | total vote.” He declared: a know kids. We all know how kids love to be bearers of news, drop stones ker-plunk as it were fn the-calm and stagnant mill-pond of home. And ids soon learn that nothing makes such a gocd plash in this home mill-pond as some gossip about in places of ‘authority. Youth’s Yearnings . Two little English girls came all the way from ZLondon to America to hear Galli-Curci sing. We, who are older, must stand abashed at their Yision. We must marvel at their dreams, the sweet fantasies youth alone can know; their golden ambi- #ions, the desires of childhood for the’ beautiful. . Ten years from now Galli-Curci’s voice will have 2b different meaning for them, perhaps. They will hear the divine music of the song. Now they only thear the voice, the beautiful sound that expresses for them the meaning of their world. + Twenty years, thirty years from now, their sense of the values of music will be well schooled. They ‘will be able to classify the voice of Galli-Curci jong a hundred others of different shades. and eanings. In that remote day, the emotional out- burst of their fulsome youth even may be forgotten. <=. But they are children now, and the world all rosy Jies stretched out ahead of them. Galli-Curci’s Woice carols the beauty with which they clothe the earthly prospect. It is their springtime, their day of dreaming, day of visions. %. No Time For Bow-wows The greatest dangers in America, according to Aniwers given by a cross-section of the country’s fessional men, are disregard for law, over- emphasis of wealth, and lack of parental guidance. America is going pagan, they declare. Drinking, smoking, lax morality, the wobbly home, and im- ey ore Bh books: are ited ee rensons why areigoing to the dogs. This opinion comes, as we have said, from pro- » fessional men, from lawyers -and doctors and min- We fear this is no “voice of the people;” that it is a cross-section of good-salaried, drummer who, or the one about; | -$7.20 be a great inspiration to the youth in the way of . bie When Vision and Cash Meet | “Jim” Couzens’ $2,500 grew to $29,000,000 in six. | teen years. While Ford had the vision, Couzens | was lucky enough to have the $2,500. The trouble | with most of us is that we may have the vision, but | The romance of automcbile profits is disclosed in proceedings of the very interesting tax case now being heard in Detroit. Stupendous fortunes grow- ing from ‘investments of pennies and dimes should thrift, but ‘unfortunately the amassing of great wealth has made the cld-fashioned savings bank on the pantry shelf the cbject of pun and ridicule. But just remember when prompted to some fool- ish extravagance what happened to “Jim” Couzens’ Women in Politics If women would make themselves felt in politics they “must take a New Year resolution to drop feministic and sex-conscious ideas and get down to work,” according to Miss Sarah Butler, vice presi- dent of the Republican woman's state committee of New York. Miss Butler continues that “the day of the fem- ininist crusader in the United States is definitely over and the only way now for women to function fully in the political field is for them to start at the bottom and learn the game from the war can- vassing stage on up.” . | In short, women, to be valuable in politics, must | be people, werkers, not women. | The queer part of it is that most men, if not all, will agree with Miss Butler, despite the fact that not so many years ago when woman suffrage was not yet a fact, they talked about “the womanly in- fluence in politics,” their “purifying presence,” and! , refused to believe that women could contribute as | people and workers, granting that they could con- | tribute as women. North Dakcta’s retvord’in pardons and paroles indicates that sentimentality has not run riot here as in the case of Texas. “When ‘courts have to post- pone their terms until a pardoning governor’s term expires it would seem that the limit had been reached if not exceeded. Governor Sorlie’s efforts to have the Grand Forks grain market déclared a terminal with benefits that accrue to such a designation have been crowned with success. He kept after the carriers until proper recognition was given this market. It is part of his program to better marketing conditions in this state. It is too bad that “moral turpitude” is driving so | many good comedians from the silver screen.

Editorial Comment Non-voting Citizens (New York Times) Speaking for the National Civic Federation and ther organizations that combined to “get out the ” at the election of Nov. 2, 1926, Mr. John Hays Hammond says that the undertaking was a failure. As 1926 was an off-year, comparisons should be made with the corresponding off-year of 1922. First, it must be borne in mind that the number of eligi- ble voters was in round numbers 58,000.000 in 1922 and 62,000,000 in 1926. The figures are Mr, Ham- mond’s. In 1922 the non-voters were 37,000,000 and the voters 21,000,000; and in 1926 the figures were, respectively, 40,000,000 and 22,000,000. In April President Coolidge, addressing the Daughters of the Revolution, declared that the failure of American citizens to exercise the suffrage was a growing peril. He predicted that if the duty of voting was not discharged “disaster will overtake the whole fabric of our institutions.” He pointed out that in the senatorial elections of 1922 some candidates elected received “as low as 7.9 to 10 per cent of the If the people fail to vote, a government will be developed which is not their government. In 1922 the percentage of eligibles voting in the British parliamentary elections of England and Wales was 88. The year before, 70 per cent of Canadian eligibles voted. The United States makes by far the worst showing. The “Price” We: Pay (Grand Rapids Herald)::.,::'1 Another pedagogical mind has contributed to the war debt complex. Presiderit’ Frank J. Goodnow of Johns Hopkins university .s: “The friendliness of Europe is a great price for the United States to pay in order that all war loans may be collected.” President Goodnow errs exactly 100 per cent in his { facts as we see them. In the first place America has not asked the payment of “ALL war loans.” ‘It has voluntarily scaled these debts to a basis of “ca- pacity to pay. In the seccnd place, the. “friendli- | ness of Eurzpe” is not for sale. We cannot “buy”; it. Bcught friendships are a paradox: They never outlast the traffic in which they are supposed to! have been purchased. If all that we did during the | world war, and all the material resources that we | gladly poured into Europe’s stricken areas (not loans, but gifts), and all the billions that we have already wiped cff the debt slate, have been an insufficient “price” for “the friendliness of Europe,” why should we suspect that the gift of a few more | billions—out of the pockets of America’s taxpayers ~would turn the trick? Is it not more logical to anticipate that these credits, like all others, prompt- | ly would be abscrbed and forgotten, and immediately | some new and additional “price” (such as‘a bower- | ing of our protective tarffs) would be ccnjure4? | And is America at 4 point where it must “pay” for | “friendships”?

We are entitled to| both—everywhere—on the basis of our war record and our debt record., Where we lack “friendship” and “respect” another element enters in.
