We are told by the that the Di- rector of the Budget, after allowing for the Army and Navy incre including a ar airplane development, thinks tax by the next Congress extremely unlikely, notwithstanding that there was a surplus last year exceeding $600,-{ 000,000 % | This illustra what the failure of thé late Geneva Conference to the United States, and if it means so much to this country it will doubtless mean more to other countries for they are not so well situated as the United States is to expend large sums in navy construction and army enlargement However, there tion in Congress would prevent tax set their hearts on and Congress will the demand dispatehes five-y reduction means is likely to to be strong expenditure proposals reduction.

The dispatches tell us that Mrs. Coolidge w in a large measure responsible for the President’s declaration that he does not choose to run for re- election. We cannot refrain from wishing that Mr. Coolidge had said he did not choose to run because he believes the precedent set by Wash- “ington and the principle enunciated by Jefferson and reiterated by Jackson regarding third terms ought to prevail until the end. He could have dome more for his positicn in history by adding a half dozen to that statement than in any other way we can think of. He missed an opportunity such as Grant and Roosevelt threw away. However, as has been said, actions sometimes speak for themselves and President Coolidge, in eliminating himself from the Presidential contest when it was apparent that he could easily have Dbeen renominated and probably re-elected, has wcontributed his example to the maintenance of ‘third-term traditions. words 3 JUDGE GARY'S DEATH. 3 The death of Judge Gary removed one of the . greatest of modern Americans.

Scouts get the kind of training that makes good aviators and great fellows for avia- tion. I would not hesitate to take with me on an Arctic flight a boy who had made a good Scout. Throughout the world this message will thrill the souls of members of this wonderful organi- zation—in e y country bright, brave lads will say: “Commander Byrd says we are worthy that he would not fear to have one of us for companion in highest adventurous achievement. Hur for Byrd!"” Yes, the Commander understands this message, with its essence of radely intimacy, he has inspired thousands of the finest lads in the here to the practf and ideals of which labors to make men Moreover, he thus confounds the preachings of tho pacifists who rail at the Boy Scout or- ganization an agency in support of militar- ism.

A egpecial correspondent of the Chicago Tri- bune writes that liquor draws more tourists to Toronto than does the scenic splendor of Niagara Five hundred American cars cross daily into Ontario, Liquor sales have raised the revenues of the Province to a net total of about 000,000 in the first year of the new la operation Interested observers declare government con- trol of this business has already resulted in promoting temperance as well as tax reduction. For the first year gross sales of wines, beer liguors will amount to about $30,000,000. It is significant that under prohibitin sales on medical prescriptions ran to more than §$5,000,- 000 a year, while the bootleg trade was declared to amount to $30,000,000 a year. A situation largely responsible for the victory of government control. Under - prohibition, the Province appeared to be saturated with illicit liquor, it is said, with bootleggers and ‘‘blind pigs” plentiful, and that, in dry Ontario, the rate of arrests for drunken- ness was higher than in the neighboring wet Province of Quebec. As here, resistance against restriction led to an alarming disrespect for law. X Another significant circumstance was the “‘opening” under government control. With thou- sands of thirsty Americans added to the regular population of Toronto, to take advantage of the new dispensation, there was neither drunken- ness nor disorder anywhere apparent in the city. There has been nothing of the kind since, and Nicaragua is one of those places where, if you run for President and lose, you keep right on running.— (Cincinnati Enquirer.)
