He shows a high conception of his public duty, and now with a council and cabinet in perfect harmony, a more prosperous and a better govern ed city is a result to be expected More Discipline Necessary The United States has given Europe the Dawes plan; it is of course up to the European powers as to whether they wish to accept some measure, necessarily a compromise, for stabalizing Euro pean conditions, or whether they desire to take the road toward another general war in which they will have to count on the absence of the United States If, alleged, official Germany has been encouraging the manufacture and storage of war equipment in violation of treaty terms, it as is is miy a German contribution toward the further lisciplining of Germany and another war in which, under present conditions, Germany would ndergo further castigation and might suffer ismemberment.

Wa to Labor Demand General | On the basis of returns from district offices the federal employment service reports prospects for employment of workers in eyery section of} the country. In the west generally the agricultural outlook was said to assure normal demand for labor while in the great industrial centers, renewed factory and mill operation either was being ex- | perienced or was expected. On the Pacifie coast the report déals with an- ticipation of “increased demand for skilled ané | unskilled labor in most industries.” In Connecti: | and Pennsylvania, the report said, a re | of building activity was likely. Kansas and returns showed extensive road building | cu Towa | plans while Mississippi was said to have build ing prospects which could be called bright. New Jersey, New York and Illinois were said to have plant operations, construction work and icultural activity increasing, while in all the New England states increased mill production was noted, Southern states, such as Louisiana and Florida, found detailed reasons for predict- ing a busy twelve months ahead. his mate with a club and deag- her to his lair by the hair of the head.

Doomed to Defeat | Twenty-eight states will probably reject the proposed twentieth amendment (the child-labor amendment) to the constitution without delay and a number of other states will probably sub- mit the question to referendum, thus following the lead of Massachusetts, where the amendment was rejected by an overwhelming popular yote. This statement js based on a summary of the sentiment revealed by diligent inquiry through- out the forty-eight states, by persons interested. There is every indication that the thorough discussion that the proposed amendment has re- ceived at the hands of distinguished educators and thoughtful students of government has re- vealed fundamental objections to it because of the vague and unlimited powers which it would cede in perpetuity to congress and the exten- sion of federal uuthority over the lives of the 40, 000,900 persons whom it would instantly affect. | Husband’s Duties \ Missouri judge las just rendered a decision | in a divorce case in which he lays down the rule that a married man gets no credit for washin wiping the dishes | This may be accepted as part of the curriculum of domestic life, The fuct that a husband was re quired to assist the wife in kitchen tasks is not even of importance as evidence in a divorce case.

There are some today that live in that state, there are some that actually have acquired the inflexible habit of thinking pleasant thoughts about all those -with whom they come in con tact, that are ready to radiate the unaffected smile of friendship for them, even though ‘they may know them to be unworthy. It is discouraging to think that if one points out a good trait in a man or woman one will not be listened to half so attentively as if qne had re marked a motal. defect. One finds in a confession of Shaw the great reason for his ulous commen: “If you don’t say a thing in an {rrt- tating way you may just as well not say it°at all." And, sad to say, Shaws and Carlyles are read with more relish than Emersons and Hol- lands. But if one made a habit o finding the good in lMterature one wouki read Shaw without much con- viction and would smile at Carlyle as a literary scold. If one sets out to find the good in human-nature, one need not lurk in ambush or employ a searchlight. If it is there, {t sill readily be found if one exerts a tolerance like that of Joaquin Miller, who sang: In men whom men condemn as {1 I find so.much of goodness still; | In men whom men have called divine I find so much of sin and blot I do not care to draw a line Between the two, where God has not. countries undertake to assist the authorities of the United States to promote prohibition in this country by helping to enforce the United permit the authorities of the United States to stop and search all French vessels outside the three-mile Mmit or territorial waters of the United States when such vessels are sus- pected of “carrying on board alco holic beverages to be smuggled fhito the United States in violation of law. | The vessels thay be seized and car-| ried intd @ port of tle United} States.
