Ko- tecki, if we caught his name right,” solemnly observes the Kansas City Star. “Anyway, he is grand sheik of *the Order of Camels and he has an idea. Whether it will work to any end or not we do not know, but an idea always has our respect. “Mr. Kotecki’s idea is that on a certain day and at a certain hour every Camel in the United States, and every other person opposed to the Volstead law who is willing to take a chance on the idea working, shall stand perfectly stiil for one minute and make a men- tal protest against the enforcing law of the eighteenth amendment, “With all the Camels doing this at the same time it ought to make for a powerful urge, if indeed there is anything in the mental protest business. But we ob- serve that Mr. Kotecki insists that all the mental pro- testers shall stand still while mentally protesting. Is that possible? Aren’t the Camels too mad to stand still for a whole minute? We fear so, and if so we think Mr. Kotecki would do better to let them hop about while concentrating their minds on the Volstead law and what they would like to do to its supporters. “Also it might help the mental wave along if Mr. Kotecki would line out some brief and snappy thought for them to think while they are hopping. If left to their own resources they are likely to scatter and not get as good results. In an experiment like this, im- portant from a scientific as well as a practical stand- point, no detail that might contribute to its success ought to be neelected. If there is any chance that this thing will bring the Camels a drink they ought to make the test under the most favorable conditions. Let them settle then on a uniform thought, or refrain say, that they can all chant mentally. Something short, force- ful and fervent. Something ending in the words, ‘the Volstcad law,’ with say 2 couple of other words (to he selecied) preceding them. If this doesn’t bring a drink it will at least relieve the Camels’ feelings, and that’s something to be said for Mr. Kotecki’s idea.” es THE DESIRE FOR PEACE. Mr. Harding has stated the point clearly in his in- vitation to the nations to gather at Washington and discuss the propriety of disarmament and other ques- tions looking to the establishment of a permanent peace throughout the world and a cordial understand- ing among the nations. Representatives of other pow- ers will come with no misapprehensions. If the peo- ples the delegates represent desire peace and curtail- ment of war equipment and those authorized to speak do so sincerely and truly, then the convention will perform the most wonderful work of ages. For those who will be empowered to speak for the American people will correctly state our attitude as a peace lov- ing people, desiring to live in friendliness will all na- ions and peoples. And we have by our action in re- ucing our military establishment to the limit, suf- sficient only to maintain order within our possessions, =given evidence of the good faith in which we have in- svited others to discuss with us further reductions. = The president’s words when he says: “There can be no final assurance of the peace of the world in the ab- sence of’the desire for peace, and the prospect of re- duced armaments is not a hopeful one unless this de- sire finds expression in a practical effort to remove causes of misunderstanding and to seek ground for| agreement as to principles and their application,” leave no doubt as to the state of mind in which na- tions must come to the conference, if they would ac- complish the objects for which they will assemble. Disarmament alone, will not prevent nations from| quarreling. The mere fact that there are no imple- ments at hand to fight with is not going to stop a fight! if nations are so minded. There must be a genuine} desire to avoid a row and actual blows. A state of} mind that seeks justice, honesty and fairness ‘rather| than advantage by doubtful means a willingness to employ logic instead of passion in dealings one with another. If the disarmament convention assembles in a prop- er frame of mind determined to better the condition | of the peoples of the world and relieve them of bur-} dens that are driving them to bankruptcy, something will be accomplished, if not all that is hoped. Sh WAKE UP AND BLOW YOUR HORN. event all of you were pamiliar with at the time of its occurrence, none of you stopped to analyze the mat- ter in the light the program writer did. If it is worth anything to you in present circumstance, ac: on the suggestion that is plainly pointed out to you. Here is what the theater program says: “Business has gone to sleep because Mr. Business Man hasn’t made enough noise to keep it awake. Bunk! you say—how can you sell to people who have no money? No money!—what a mistaken idea some people have. “On Saturday, July 2, I saw 90,000 men and wom- en in the big arena in Jersey City who had spent $1,623,380 for admission to the Dempsey-Carpentier world championship boxing bout. The main event— the big bout—lasted ten minutes and sixteen seconds, and figuring steamship fares, railroad tickets, tax! fares, hotel bills and special trains, it is safe to say $3,000,000 (three millions of dollars) in all were 4pent for about ten minutes of excitement. “But the crown is to be placed on Tex Rickard—a promoter—a business man who made for himself a half million dollars on the big quarrel. Rickard is a business man—he put the deal over, and when any- body tells you his business is rotten, he has no money ——you can bet your last nickel that particular indi- vidual is waiting for business instead of going out after it” 2 es THE WORLD'S GREATEST MAN. been quizzing among the lamstown to discover who was the greatest man the war produced,” cbserves the New York Herald. “Viscount Bryce named a trio—Mazaryk, Venizelos and Smuts. Baron Korff, remarking that he hated Lenine, doubted whether there was a greater man in the world than the Soviet dictator. Other scholars made such widely different selections as Wilson, Keynes and Debs. “Our own nomination for greatest man in the world is John Smith. He was the greatest man the war pro- duced, for he made the guns and the shells, the ships and the tanks, the tents and the trenches. He manned the fleets, submarines and airplanes. He went over the top. “John Smith was the greatest man in the world in the Old Stone Age and he will continue to be so un- til that drear time when the standardized human be- ing predicted by H. G. Wells has arrived. “It is John Smith who ploughs and harvests, writes and reads, loves and hates. He makes clothes and composes ballads, mows lawns and runs banks. He gives 25 cents for a collar or 25 billions for a war with’equal grace. He pays the way of the Mazaryks, Venizeloses and Smutses. “Remove John Smith from the world and what fa- mous statesman could keep on living?” THE SILKEN AGE. “The age of silk, like the age of chivalry, ha’ gone. The age of linen, wool and cotton has succeeded, soliloquizes the Louisville Courier-Journal. “Preraphaelite Percy, habited in silk but one brief year ago, the cynosure of every eye, the observed of all observers, as he strode complacently along, is gone, leaving behind him the grateful fragrance of his per- fumed pride and pulchritude. Back on the farm, Away from harm is Percy nowadays—far from perils that lurk in silks and satins. Hands on plow handles, he pauses now and then at end of a furrow to meditate with sighs upon the days, now far away, when, beautiful as Ad- onis in silk apparel, iy gear upon the sight of maid- ens fair and matrons hone too sedate. “Denim serves Percy now. Right glad is he to wear the once condemned cotton. Like some first love, loyal even unto death, suffering all things, enduring all things, democratic denim welcomes Percy back with open arms and open collar. Crying plaintively as Adam, Let me be your servant; Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty, denim, fond and faithful, once more is content to serve. “Aesthetic Algernon, radiant as some rainbow and as vari-colered, wilting maidens’ hearts with charm! compelling, is gone, vanished into nothingness! Scythe in hand, Algernon stands now like Ruth amid the alien corn, wistfully looking back upon the days when life and love were one sweet symphony and silk or satin shirts were easy to be had as wheat now is hard to stack or corn to shuck. Burs: on the farm, Away from harm is artistic Algernon, substituting, as he binds the grain or locks the eunshine in the golden sheaf, a manly tread for The mincing-step Of a demirep that set maidens’ hearts aflutter in other days. “Charlie’s workin’ on the section. Fritz is slinging beans. Mike’s flagging trains. Johnnie's selling gum. Bill’s keeping books. Raymond’s cleaning carbure- tors. Sol’s peddling stogies. “Some in cotton, some in wool, some in linen—silk- less and satinless, All, ali are gone, the old familiar faces. “‘And thereby hange a tale,’ as the melancholy Jacques would say.” Cee Se ONTARIO WILL ASSIST. It is understood that the Canadian province of On- tario is to assist the United States in enforcing our prohibition laws. That will be fine. Has the su- preme council given the provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan, Alberta and British Columbia a similar mandate? It is suspected that liquor is gurgling across the international line where these provinces join our territory, also. About the best we get down in this particular portion of the great American des- ert is “made in Canada.” It is well that Ontario is taking a hand for the en- forcers on this side have been unequal to the job of sweeping the tide back. The bootlegger’s locals further west should adopt resolutions of sympathy for the drought sufferers in the towns of Buffalo, Cleveland and Detroit. NCL RN JOKES ARE OFTEN COSTLY. Punch’s joke about the workman who reprimanded the plumber for sharpening a lead pencil because “it was a carpenter’s job,” illustrates the actual experi- ence of executives operating railroads under govern- ment direction.
