He could discourse on that coe until the cows came home and not even reach ~secondly.” R. Lafollette could announce in the Senate some morning that he had a few trite remarks to project, then he could launch out on this same text and use up all the time there is coming to the present wession of Congress and so crowd the shipping bill off tite earth. No telling what W. Borah or H. Johnson or some of the ciher long distance talkers could do with a handy text like the one mentioned. Then there is one Caraway and one Robinson on the other side of the chamber, but why speak of them—the recipe calls for headwork. But as an every-day workable text, it is some text; and there are lots of fellows who ought to cut it out and paste it in their hats.

Just where and from whom do they derive their authority to speak as they do and represent as they do? {n ali of the agitation and-confusion in public life since the war we have heard but once of authoratative expression from the people and that was in November, 1920, They said what they had to say on that occasion and have since remained quiet. We are at present having a very great number of spokesmen running at large, and the impression prevails that possibly some of them are speaking without any urge from those for whom the speak- ing is done. It is nice to have champions to fight for your cause, but it seems that it would be a little more regular for those having a cause to do the select- ing of the captains and furnish more information respecting the things to be accomplished rather than to have these captains trump up a cause and include you and me and the other fellow as his followers. When as a matter of fact we are not his followers and take no stock in the dope he is | peddling in our name. ; The “bloc” stuff is poor stuff. At best it repre- sents only a faction and a purely selfish interest. Its whole intent is to hold a club over some greater and more general power in government.

Being one of them we ought to be informed by other of our colleagues. pad ES SS Versatility and Constant Study. AVID BELASCO, the leading figure in the American theatrical world, says that varsatil- ity, constant study and self development are the ground-work for success in the theater today as it ever has been. “In our profession a man or woman must know a little about everything. They should be able to paint a little, to dance, to fence and to have an all-around familiarity with athletics. They should be studying constantly, and this is often overlooked by the profession today. Years ago men and women took every opportunity to get ahead, so stirred were they by ambition. They lived and worked in the theater. “Individuality must be allowed to assert itself. Art can not succeed and be hampered by outside dictation. We should ever strive toward perfection although it can never be reached. I would not want to see the perfect man or woman. We speak of a icat having nine lives, but art has ninety million ‘lives, so differently does it express itself through varying personalities “Truth should always be the aim.

E RULERS of Russia are establishing in that country, a bureaucracy in comparison with! which that of the Caesars was free and popular government. The election just held in Moscow {1 ustrates.

That helps a lot in keeping of a “machine” in motion. The Incomparable.

But it takes more than mere merit to ering a book into the same class with one of the most brilliant productions to be found in English literature—a work that is as nearly sure of a permanent place among our classics us is any book written within the last hundred years. : “Alice in Wondertand” is of a perfection that, as a matter of plainest fact, puts it beyond criti cism. Though written for the amusing and inter. esting of children, its appeal is to every age, and old indeed must be the man or woman who cannot read it with edification and delight. Its language, while without a trace of pedantry or state iness, | is a model of style and of word selection—“diction,” as it is commonly called.

HE PSYCHOLOGICAL effect of Christmas is noted as the days grow fewer in the approach of the holiday. The spirit of the occasion grows upon the people upon the street and in the shops. ‘There is a relaxation from preoccupation and ab- sorption with other affairs and interests. You meet friendly smiles and oft-times greetings in quarters you little expected human feeling. Strangers, even, are pleasant to other strangers. . As the shoppers go about their business in hand} they are cheerful, and it is infectious, for tired shop girls and worn clerks even grow jocular on occasion. Yes, the spirit of Christmas is abroad, Tt is in the very atmosphere. The smell of the Christmas pine and evergreens are everywhere and accentuate the general feeling of goodwill because of their long association with the season of fes- tivity. Along the streets and in the shops are heard the Christmas noises. Some child. is trying out his lung power on a tin horn, another cannot resist a few taps on a drum. Great secrecy is abroad and grown-ups vie with children in clandestine selection and purchase of | gifts. Closets, dresser drawers and other hiding | places are securely locked, and hidden away in| these depths are many joyful surprises. Old Saint Nicholas is the most gladsome saint we know. He has brought more real happiness to/ the earth than ell the rest combined. No one ever grows too old to welcome his visits nor lose in- terest in the delight he affords. He is the one saint who holds his office by un- animous consent of his constituency and deserves the honor. He is in no danger of defeat at the polls and it will be a world calamity should any such eyent befall. ecegpeces ene t The Result In the Orient. MPLE and concrete demonstration of the wis- dom of calling the Washington conference for the limitation of armaments will be prevailing conditions in the Orient. Particularly in Japan are the beneficient results of the conference most apparent. The uneasiness, the restraint, the fear of the United States and the suspicion of our motives | | found in the| confidence, good will and « disposition to enter into closer relations. Japan has very faithfully promptly and generously met all of the obliga- tions and responsibilities which became hers as a result of the conference. In Shantung the Japanese are fulfilling scrup-| ulously gll of their obligations which grew out of the Washington conference. As a matter of fact, none of the participating nations in the conference has carried out its treaty obligations with greater fidelity. One of the happiest results of the con- ference is the disappearance of all the “jingo” talk about the ultimate inevitability of war between the two countries. Great changes and readjustments are going on in! Japan and perhaps the most significant one is that which has to do with the transformation of public sentiment in regard to military and imperialistic activities. The so-called military party, which was responsiblffie for the Siberian enterprise, appears to be rapidly declining in power, and an era of! retrenchment in military expenditures and of in- tense development of home industries is beginning. The new_era and the new feeling in the Orient are, a fine commentary upon the vision and the wisdom | of the President and Secretary Hughes in bring- the Washington conference. Che Casper Dally Cridune “ is “ Surt-case™ Simp Survey of City Schools. The Civic Development Department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States has issued a prelimin- ary report of its surveys of school bulidings, equipment, health and pby- sical education of schools in our cities.

The report shows an increasing number of cities maintaining open-air schools or classes, thus salvaging im- perfect human material and convert- ing it to a high erode product; an in- creasing number of cities providing milk for the undernourished school | ehfldren; and an increasing number of cities providing a hot lunch or a hot | dish for children. 1 brings out two facts which merit careful. consideration—absence of, Medical examination hefore children are admitted to the schools (ess than 40 per cent of the communities take this essential precaution to safeguard the health of the community), and lack of adequate playgrounds only 42 per cent of the cities claim adequste facilities). It is significant that 65 per cent of the cities have school physicians, about 60 per cent have dental clinics, and about 85 per cent have school nurses. all the elementary school The report shows that not enough, attentiqn has been paid to erecting the type of building which will stand the test of years; that children are not given @ square deal in protection from fire; and that many commun!- ties tolerate defects in the school buildings which make for impaired eyesight, weak lungs, and the spread of disease.
