Politics furnishes the citizen the yest training the can have in civie duty. A bank seldom calls to its board of directors a man who has had no experience with finance and no training in the handling of property. A railroad seldom calls to its management a dis- tinguished citizen who has never given time or thought to the study of railroad problems. A foot- ball coach never calls an athlete to take part in © game, no matter how strong he may be, no mat- ter how greatly he can excel in other branches of sport, provided he has had no training in the game of football. Seldom, if ever, does a football coach ask advice, during the progress of a game, from the university chess champion or the most distinguished scholar on the university faculty. And yet there are many people who express pained surprise that political leaders in the course of an active campaign do not turn for advice to the most distinguished citizens of the community, irrespective of the fact that they have never made a practice of attending caucuses or party councils. We cannot expect our government to work, or our people to enjoy the blessings of freedom unless they are willing to accept fully the respon sibilities of citizenship. A citizen without respon sibility ceases-to be a citizen and, becomes a sub: ject. ————E / Campaign Expensesy In explaining the alleged virtues of: his bill regulating political expenditures in presidential elections Senator Caraway adds that of course his plan does not contemplate any federal regu- lation of elections within the several states. In other words he does not believe that it is the duty of the federal government to see to it that elections in which federal officers are chosen are honest with respect to registration and elec- tion laws and practices as well as with regard to campaign expenditures, The solid South, with which Senator Caraway sympathizes politiqally, is not the scene of much campaign expenditure because Democratic control of the registration and election laws make it entirely unnecessary to have campaigns or consider public opinion at all. | The state election board in Arkansas under a law | which is supposed to give bi-party representation on local boards, assumes to itself the preroga- tive of picking most of the Republicans for those boards in order to make it certain that there will be no undue obstreperousness in objecting to whatever it may be thought to be salutary at the polls in the Democratic party's behal Fanning the Flames | Perhaps the most dangerous, even if uninten- | tional, enemies of American peace-are the home grown foreign factionalists who air publicly in this country the real or imaginary grievances of foreign countries against the United, States. We have with us the sensationalist who confirms the stupid charge of anti-American agitators in the Latin-American countries, that the United States has “imperialistic” designs in the western hemis- phere, a theory which has the backing neither of history nor of common sense. Then there is the fomenter of Japanese jingoism who tells the American people and the world that the United States has done an irreparable wrong, based upon race prejudice, against Japan in prohibiting oriental immigration into the United States. If people will subtract ninety per cent for bunk in all these sensational and alarming outgivings then take the cube root of the result they will have something more dependablt and something nearer the fact with reference to causes for com- plaint * Motors and Pants One might not think there could be a relation between pants and motor-cars, but listén: Several months ago wholesale clothing manu- facturers in convention found fault with men for not buying Sunday suits. They seemed to feel that all was not right with the nation when a man pre- ferred to exchange his money for an automo- bile instead of for the latest thing in pants and coats. Evidently the criticism has made no im- pression on man. Says one manufacurer: “Tt is no longer controverted that the purehase of automobiles on the installment plan has tended | strongly to limit expenditure on clothes for men, Added to his widespread tendency there has been stringent and enforced economy in clothes buying in the agricultural sections. This still persists. And this disposition to economize has manifested itself in the consumption of moderate-priced, two- pant suits in the industrial centers as well.” | (re ao | Auto Liability Insurance | This subject will undoubtedly receive consid- erable attention at the hands of future lawhiak- ing bodies. It is a subject deserving of serious consideration but will be seized upon by advo. cates of state socialism as a vehicle for inaugur ating their schemes,of public ownership of indus- | try. s.0¢| Operating business or industry. If it is capable the state see jthat these Jaws are complied with ‘through the channels. of private business. It has all the regulatory and police power at its command. If it is not capable of enforcing its laws and regulations, it is not capable of of enforcing its laws and regulations, it is not necessary for the state to operate business or in- dustry. Let legislators and lawmakers beware of new schemés to put the state into business. Child Marriages Much has been said about the evil of child mar- riages in India and other mission lands, but how many citizens of this: Christian nation realize that child marriages are common -in our own land? In 1920 there were more than 13,000 mar- ried children under sixteen years of age in this country. Qf these 5,880 were under fifteen years of age, and 269 were child widows and fifty-seven divorced girls. Efforts to remedy this evil have. been made by many organizations, notably woman’s clubs and similar bodies, and during recent years there has been considerable agitation for federal regulation Greater, success, however, has been achieved through state action, and many states have en- acted suitable legislation. One of. the most re- cent movements in this diréction has been in New York, where the state child welfare commis- sion has recommended a statute fixing a mini- mum marriage age at sixteen. A companion measure submitted by the New York commission is urged to prevent hasty mar- riages. The chief object of this bill is to prevent impulsiveand ill considered marriages, especially by young -people.. Many: instances have been..re- ported to the commission of young, people marry- ing on the same day as they first met at a seaside or other pleasure resort .Ten states now have laws similar to the one the commission proposes, and their yalue is undisputed. Not only have hasty marriages been prevented, byt during the five-fay period it has been ‘possibfe for license granting officials to receive information confirm- ing or possibly discrediting the essential facts appearing in the application.In this:way it may be shown, before it is too late, that the man who swears in his application that he is sfngte, is in fact already married, Even in cases where their ages make it unnecessary for young: people to obtain parental consent to their marriage, par- ents who learn of their children’s. plans during the required period of delay may be able.to show them the risks of the marraige they contemplate.’ To Retire Joseph H. MeKenna, associate justice of the Supreme court of the United States is about to resign. The justice who is eighty-one*years of age, has served for twenty-seven years and is the senior justiee of the supreme court. He was at- torney general in :the cabinet of President McKin- ley. On December 16, 1897, he was appointed an associate justice of the supreme court. to succeed Mr. Justice Field retired. He took. his seat Janu- ary 26, 1898. Mention may be made shortly of the availability of Senator George Wharton Pepper of Pennsylvania, to succeed Justice McKenna. Should Pepper go. to the court his senate, seat would be filled by an oppointment by Governor Pinchot. Former. Goyernor Sproul. would. be .a candidate for the nomination at the next primary election. The total sales of stocks sincé the election of President Coolidge have been 75,000,000. shares, with nineteen 2,000,000-share days.

A Real Patriot ; The late Julius Kahn, born in Germany, put to shame many Americans of-long American-an- cestry when during the war he, a Republican, successfully led the fight in the house for the Wilson draft. law” against the’ opposition ~of members. of the president's own party. Time and again during the war he steered proposals sponsored by the Democratic” administration, aud after the armistice, as chairman ofthe. mili- tary committee, he took charge of legislation for reorganizing the army on a peace-time basis. at There is a general .agitation over..the country now for doing away with the’ Christmas tree. Those in fayor of the ban say that it interferes with the program of forest preservation: ‘Other tree experts claim that the cutting out of ‘the small trees aids in‘thé growth of the larger ones. First thing you know they are ging to make a-tree bootlegger out of Santa Claus. Rough Sledding - The opposition to the German treaty is so strong that the Senate Foreign Relations commit- tee has sent a request to Secretary Hughes ask- ing that it be modified. Senators-object to the provisions under which ‘the Tnited: States’ can- | not descriminate in tariff duties on goods haul- | ed in American ships. It is declared impossible | to muster a two-thirds vote to ratify the pact in its present form. Restoring Respect _ James M. Beck, solicitor general of the United States, suggests two ways of strengthening the public canfidence in the supreme court; first, tlie resurrection of such public interest in delibera- | tions of the supreme court as was manifested a | century ago; second, the:creation of. a co-opera-| tive arrangement between the court, the execu- tive and the legislative branches of government whereby preliminary opinions upon the constitu- tionality of proposed legislation might be handed down to save such legislation from later brand- ing as unconstitutional. ————_—_—_— | Until, the Leagne of Nations shgkes off the| control of its sordid politicians, forgets selfish ‘There may be sound reasons for the state re- quiring automabile ownere to carry liability in- nationalisms and puts its faith in justice instead of expediency, we can have neither lot-nor part in it. , CROSS-WORD: PUZZLE SUGGESTIONS FOR SOLVING CROSS-WORD PUZZLES Start out by filling in the words of which you feel reasonably sure.

PUZZLE SOLUTION Solution of Saturday's Puzzle Set tajeys} BSeeae How He Advanced Otto H. Kahn in a recent address told how he came to get his first promotion in business. “The firm with which I was employed," he said, ‘used to send-out many hun- dreds of circulars dally. In the somewhat primitive circumstances Jof that day aud place, sponges for the wetting of stamps were an un- known luxury. ‘The process @m- ployed. was the natural one of. lick- ing the stamps. “From a sheet of one hundred stamps you tore off a row of 10, passed your tongue over the back of-the row, and by a deft manipula- tion despatched ten envelopes. Three of us‘sitting fn a line were engaged for a certain period each day in that proceeding. By dint of strenu- ous application I soon became an adept at the job, and accomplished the triumph of holding the office record as to speed in licking stamps, while yet observing the require- ments-of neatness and accuracy in Placing each stamp straight and square In its proper place in the up- per right-hand corner of the en: velope. “Two or three times I noticed our 20853' standin: near the. place where we worked, but I had no. idea that the-—to me—great man would deign to observe our humble activity. After a while he called me before him and. informed the blushing youth that I was promoted out of my turn, in recognition of the zeal, energy and accurateness with which I had accomplished the functions of stamp-licker, Prosperous Trade Under the protection’ and wise guidance of the United States, the Philippine islands are enjoying s highly satisfactory © merchandise trade. In the last pre-war year the total trade of the Philippine islands was a little over $101,000,000. In 1928 that trade reached @ total of 8,550,000, and for‘ the current year !t {s expected to reach $240,- 000,000. The share of the United States in that trade during 1923 was 85 per cent, compared with 13 per cent at the close of the Spanish domination of the islands.

That year the Philtp- pine trade fell to less than $176,000,- 000.

The native textiles, pina and jusi have found ¢onsiderable favor {in ‘this. country, arid a large amount of copra {s purchased from the is- lands. Of late. years Philippine straw hats, of which the celebrated Balibuntal is an example, have found a’ good market’ in the United States, .riva'ing the Panama in pop- wlarity. The cabinet wpods of the, Philippines have not been. properly brought to the attention of Amert- can furniture manufacturers. The red nara; and other varieties are among the most beautiful, woods in the world. . The potentialties for rub- ber production are vast, particularly in the island of Mindanao and ‘adja- cent’ and if properly serciepee. our dependence on British and Dutch rubber sources would be materially lessened. With the terrible. expose which has been going on lately in the form of a series of articles prepared by a woman author of probity and fine attainments, the talk of immediate independence for the Philippine 1s- lands, stimulated for a short time by the promise of complete autono- my held out in the Democratic plat- form of 1924, has greatly ‘subsided. Undoubtedly the mass of the Fili- ‘pinos are convinced by experience, if not by arg&iment, that they are better off under American rule than they are under a. despotic bureau- cracy. The majority of the natives would hardly indorse the assertaion of one or gro of their plotting lead- ers thatgthey would’ prefer Home rule with all its Grawbacks-to Amer lean guidance with ail its benefits. Our Pacific trade (Asia and Oce- ania) for the current year will show close to $1,600,000,000. Situated in the center of those great Markets for American wares is Man‘la, where the fihest entreport in that qumrter of the globe could readily be estab- Ushed, a project which would give @ great stimu'us to Far -Eastern purchases of our goods.

City-bred girls make a bad endugh mess of it, certainly, but at last when they wake up they can run home and fall upon mother’s over- burdened neck and weep their way into her heart.

Children in the Streets Deaths of children-in all large cities, due to the new traffic condi.” tions, are the most shocking inci- dents of the annual record of high way accidents.
