Why, the author actually seems to have enjoyed living in America.” It is startling, when you stop to think of it, that} so many of our best writers nowadays are taking it for granted that America is a poor sort of place in which to enjoy life. They seem to feel that we issing something; that we have paid so much attention to industry and business that we have had no time for the finer graces of existence; that our cities and our small towns alike are suffering ‘om an overemphasis on hustle and bustle. @ All of this may be very true; but we suspect that is rather absurd. = To our notion America is the best place to live im the planet. And we believe that this is true not | because of our country’s natural advantages, nor ‘because of its prosperity, but chiefly because of the Spirit that is abroad in it. America is a beautiful land, to be sure. Each Section differs from every other and each has its ‘own peculiar appeal. There is old New England, |i” the negro section of town and burned. . with the veneer of modern industrialism laid too | sthinly cver its colonial heritage; there are the At- Hahtic coast states, with their busy plains stretch- .ing back to blue mountain ranges, and the salt ‘breeze coming in from the sea; there is the fertile, danguoreus south, steeped in an ancient tradition; Mhere is the amazing middle west, with busy cities ‘lyng wide on prosperous, well-kept countrysides; “there are the limitless rolling plains of the west, swwhere the air is bracing and the sky is cloudless; ‘Ahere are the magnificent Rockies, and the blue- | wnd-gold of the Pacific coast beaches, with luxur- “fant valleys behind them. Yet it is not this catalogue of attractions that makes us glad we live in America. It is the spirit of hope that is to be found in every hamlet in the land; the indomitable, forward-looking spirit that jexpresses itself in boosterism, in towering sky- scrapers, in advertising campaigns, in a grand sort jof “bigger and better” mania. True enough, some of these manifestations are at ‘times unpleasant. But consider: almost alone among white nations, we are living in the present sand the future—especially the future. Our faces are turned forward. We have few traditions and ‘we do not miss them. We lack, the artistic expres- sion of Europe and we hardly miss it. We are too * busy going somewhere. We do not know exactly where we are going so ‘fast; most of us, probably, do not care. We know ; that we are forever moving; we know that our life ‘is keyed to a rapid pace; and we suspect that our hustlers and bustlers are, somehow, a trifle wiser * than their critics. For we are fulfilling destiny on : a grand scale? It is useless for any of us to cry out against ; this tendency. We are committed to it. We a ' fated to build largely and rapidly, to talk. and think in terms of millions, to wring from our lives the last drops of energy. Why? We hardly know. Yet, deep down, we ‘ feel assured that we are setting up a new civiliza- | | These cover only the major crimes, of course. + 1.20 | calamity howlers. 3.00 | 6.00 | given a rest. * | Member of The Associated Press | the use for republication of all news dispatches | | for instance, we will go to the drug store and buy |what is offered us.

For example: Yale university is planning ay large scale investigation of the relations between; chemistry and medicine. Research work of the mest involved nature will be necessary; amazingly intricate werk will be done by some of the best minds in the country. Yet you and I and the rest of us will not need to worry about it at all. / When we have bad colds, the old remedies, because of this elaborated exper- | imentation mentioned above; but the process of get- | ting cured will be for us as simple as it ever was. | After Mother’s Day | Mother's Day is now behind us. It will be near-| ly a year before we again enjoy the spectacle of | great commercial institutions taking up the cudgels | for neglected motherhood. Ld In the interim we might, individually, take stock of ourselves. Are we the dutiful, thoughtful, loyal sons and daughters we might be? Did the flow- ers and candy we bought on Mother’s Day go as atonement for a year of neglect? Now is the time to think of those things—not | a year from now, on the next Mother’s Day. It| takes a lot of flowers and candy and jewelry to/ make up for twelve months of selfish neglect. They Regulated Traffic | A colcred man was lynched in an Arkansas city | the other day. After being hanged and shot full | of bullets, his body was taken to a street corner The city where this happened was a good-sized, ordinarily well-regulated city. Probably you're wondering—“Where were the police while all of this was going on?” Well, the last paragraph of) the news dispatch | that told of the lynching reads: “The police directed traffic, which congested the | streets for blocks around the scene.” | A Spectacular. Stunt Whether or pot Clarendé DB: Chamberlin succeeds | in flying across'the Atlantic, he has done something of which he may be very proud. By his coolness and skill in making a landing with a badly damaged landing gear while twé lit- tle girls rode with him, as terrified passengers, he prevented a tragedy. And we'll wager that even jsuccess in the New York-Paris flight wouldn’: make him feel any better than that exploit did. . A Useless War England is’ about to declare war on American movies. A law is now pending that would require each movie house cwner to present each week a certain percentage of British-made films. This law has ardused much comment. Perhaps the best is that of a greate@@jion newspaper: | “You can force the cinema owner to present poor | British films, but you can’t force the people to pay good money to see them.” * A Good Sign ! Marquette University -has just. conferred the degree of doctor cf lawson Baron Ago von Malt- zan, new German ambassador to the United States. That’s the kind of news dispatch ‘one is glad to read. Ten years ago no American university would have dreamed of doing it. It proves that the war is over and that its hatreds have pretty well died out. America and Germany, having had their dis- agreement, are becoming frientls once more. Le! be thankful, . tion; that our gaudy dreams will prove to contain a beautiful element of truth. Sound Advice : Police Judge Thompson of Elgin, Ill., delivered a , little lecture to a courtroom full of auto traffic ’ law violators the other day—a lecture that a whole let of automobile drivers might well listen to. Enlarging on the increase in the number of traf- , fie cases brought on by yearly increases in traffic * Judge Thompson said: ne “It isn’t a question of more fines—the city doesn’t * want, or need, the meney—but it’s a big question , of protection to motorist and pedestrian, and we've ' got to wake up to the realization that increased ; traffic means increased hazard, and calls for far } more careful traffic driving.” He’s absolutely right. Careful driving—there’s i the nub of the thing. If all motorists were really | ; careful traffic accidents could be réduced tremen- * dously. . It’s time we realized it. Get the Figures Straight When all other topics fail, our viewsrs-with-alarm can always get an audience by expatiating on the sins of the younger generation. i We haven’t any particular quarrel with their statements about the giddiness and irtesponsibility of the younger. generation. That's probably all | President Vetoes Himself | (St. Paul Dispatch) | | In vetoing the McNary-Haugen bill against the wishes of practically the whole western wing: of | the party, President Coolidge has taken on his own| | shoulders the responsibility for the pledge of the/ Republican party to agriculture in the campaign of |1924. It is now, therefore, up*to the president to !find a plan for genuine farm relief which Congress will pass before the close of the next session, _” The Dispatch has no hesitation about saying that, {if such a plan is not brought forward and passed jand signed, there is only one circumstance under which) the president did not veto himself.as well as the McNary-Haugen bill. That circumstance of course is the appearance in national politics of some unforeseeable issue between now and 1928. There are staunch: friends of the farmer among the great figures of the Republican party. It is to them the west must turn at the proper time. The Proper time will come when the campaign opens. |For President Coolidge, she campaign is. probably already over. Every -well-wisher of agriculture must so hope. ‘ This is the pledge of the Repyblican natipnal, con- vention of 1924 which President Coolidge ignored when he vetoed the McNary-! dustry to assure its 5 We favor adequate tariff: OUTOUR WAY _ When Adolph Bohn left the wi ridicule him and to make light of his | testimony as regards his proposal/ | of marriage to Cherry, he turned to- | ward the counsel table where Cherry | and her sister sat. Before the judge jor the district attorney could inter- fere, the rich young man who, had just declared his love for Cherry and his unsuccessful effort to marry her, stopped before the shining-eyed, smil- ing little defendant and thrust out a hand.

While he was waiting for Mrs. Mitchell to make her ap- pearance, he leaned toward Bob, who was beckoning him. “Yes,” Churchill whispered in an- swer to Bob's question, “Brady Hutchinson was one of the ex-con- victs that Crowell dug up.

Ordered to Move An outfit’ of several “hundred Americans had been quartered in Mezerey in'the spring of 1918, await- ing orders for a frontal attack on Camp Pontanezen at Brest. Word came to- move along in March. - It was unexpected.’ All the officers and most of ‘the non-coms were out on souveniring raids in the nearby country. About 50 uncombed pri- vates were lounging around when the motorcycle messenger arrived and spread the tidings. The start was to be made the day following.

If ever there was an orgy, that was one. Late in the day, when other members of the Kis! germ § re- turned, they pitched into the feast. The officers raged. The mess ser- eant threatened wholesale arrests. But those privates, if they never had a good and well-lubricated meal be- fore, had one then. Though they took up an 11-kilometer hike under fall pack the next morning to en- train for Brest without breakfast, they all conceded that the hae ‘was worth while.
