But to continue it on terms of more or less open hostility and bondage would in the end be impossible. There must be a community of interest and control by all the people if self-government is to be. preserved.

SERVICE FROM THE AFFLICTED. The world has profited a lot from the afflictions of individuals, We have so many instances where cripples and those physically incapacitated through ill health have devoted great minds to the solution of problems, to the pursuit of literature and art and science, thereby enriching the generations that have followed, that to mention individuals would be in- vidious. However, when occurrences of this sort rise above the surface it is well to take note of them. A notable modern instance of this kind of service is the case of Gov. Roosevelt of New York. Eight years ago Mr. Roosevelt survived an attack of infantile parlysis that left him a physical wreck. He was practically helpless until five years ago he Jearned of work Dr. Hubbard was doing in a limited way for cripples down at Warm Springs, Georgla. His friend, George Foster Peabody, New Yark banker and philanthropist but native of Georgia, had ac- quired ownership of property down there, and was interested in making it useful to those whom it might serve. Mr. Roosevelt went down there and his improvement was so marked that he has con- tinued his visits. He was so grateful for the gradual but persistent improvement of his condition that he has since devoted a large part of his considerable income toward developing a non-profit foundation for the benefit of cripples—particularly those who became crippled through infantile paralysis. Under Dr. Hubbard and a corps of assistants they are now treating 300 cripples a year at Warm Springs at bare cost. A separate foundation provides funds for those who are financially unable to bear the expense as swimming between France and England. The Fruits of Violence. | (Manchester Guardian.) The American “crime wave” is a terrible proof {of the truth that savage punishment makes savage "Crlmmn]s, not safe cities. - An article in the June number of “Harper's Magazine” explains the effects of police violence upon the criminal himself. Its author, whose credentials as a criminal of twenty- five years' standing are vouched for by the editors, writes from experience. Jack London’s account of the California “straight-jacket” (now fortunately extinet) may not be strict history, but “Jack Black,” who has worn it, gives an exact account of its effect and discusses the results of other methods of police torture still in use. His own reformation began when a judge who might have sent him to prison for life only sentenced him to a year’s im- prisonment in order to give him another chance. Such a judicial attitude is still comparatively rare in the United States, where the advertised remedy for crime is more penal laws and more violence, The humanitarian prison-reformer has a difficult time |in the United States. When Thomas Mott Osborne began to work miracles in Sing Sing Prison political influence turned him out, and American opinion has still a long way to go before it learns that crime may be prevented more easily thdh it can be crush- ed, and that sclentific and personal treatment is more likely to reclaim the criminal than is violence. We have still much to learn in this direction in Eng- land, but the contrast between our police and crim- inal system and the American leads Jack Black to pay English justice a tribute which, coming from such a source, should be placed on record. The Englishman, he says, respects the law because the law respects him and because “police protection” really means the protection of Englishmen, not the wholesale manufacture of outlaws whose best chance of avoiding death is to kill. That tribute is at least deserved. Hoover and MacDenald. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) There seems to be little doubt that Premier MacDonald, some time during the summer, will visit Washington to confer with Mr. Hoover touching reduction of naval armament and other problems of major interest to England and America. That President Hoover will welcome this parley appears also to be sufficiently indicated. Finally the pro- 42 a week. Plans for the enlargemnt of the in- |posal appears definitely to have caught the approv- gl X ing fancy of both the English and American peoples. r z worked out. % SUL\fUO" fllf‘ml;"‘l“E’ B il i At AR This is the age of great developments in inter- 8o successful has - national relationships as in all other fields of fourteen other similar places have been developed or are in course of development. Gov. Roosevelt is now engaged in putting the State of which he is Chief Executive behind the most gigantic institution for the aid of cripples that has ever been attempted. He proposes to utilize as much as might be neces- sary of the 1,100 acres New York State has ac- quired at Saratoga Springs. (It is worthy of men- tion that George Foster Peabody, mare than anyone else, is entitled to credit for the public ownership of so much of Saratoga Springs.) Mr. Roosevelt has rendered signal public service in the past and is making a remarkable Governor of the Empire State, but it would not be surpris- ing if in the end his greatest service to mankind would be that which he is rendering to cripples, the direct result of his affliction. THOSE TARIFF PROTESTS. The old fashioned protectionist will not be dis- mayed by the protests of twenty-five nations against the proposed new tariff schedules. The old fashioned protectionist usually worked on the theory that an American tariff schedule that was hurtful to the trade of a foreign country was beneficial to our country. Therefore, a protest from a foreign coun- try was regarded as the best proof of the virtue of a tariff schedule. There is a tendency to change this attitude, how- ever, since we have become a great manufacturing nation and exporter of manufactured goods. Inter- national friendliness is an asset in building foreign trade that is not being overlooked by shrewd busi- ness men. RACE PROBLEM IN SOUTH AFRICA. One of the main issues on which the Nationalist Party won the South African election was its an- retain white control in the country. Gen. Hertzog's party, which is supposed to represent anti-Imperialism and weaker bonds with Great Britain and the other Dominioris, nounced purpose to establish and severely criticized the action of Gen. Smuts's party, called the pro-British party in South Africa, for fts action in granting the franchise to educated and property-possessing blacks. of the 170,000 electors were blackmen. advocated granting the franchise to the blacks when they proved their ability to exercise it intelligently through acquiring education and property. Gen. Smuts contended that this was the practicable and conservative course to pursue for it offeded as the highest prize to the blacks the opportunity to co- operate with the whites. He said if the blacks were denied the rights of citizenship, irrespective of their capability to exercise it, the circumstance that they outnumber the whites three to one might create @ very grave danger of armed racial strife. A long range and not too well informed opinion would be that the position of Gen. Smuts is sound. The franchise in the hands of educated and thrifty blacks would seem to be insurance of a white man’s government. It would be a long time before black voters would outnumber whites, if ever, for the disparity in numbers between whites and blacks is lessening rapidly. The blacks have shown a will- It professed to see danger of black control in the Cape because 15,000 Gen. Smuts human activity and endeavor. Any proposals agreed to and presented by Mr. MacDonald and the Presi- dent most probably would find the Commons and Congress sympathetic and willing to assist in the adjustment of the question involved. Both President Hoover and Premier MacDonald are devoted to the cause and interests of peace, but neither of them is for “peace at any price.” Each of them is laboring for a rational world ad- justment which contemplates the extremest degree of war minimization that may be had that will be compatible with national progress and security. MacDonald is a Socialist and Hoover is a Quaker, but both are loyal to the principles of government as exemplified in the democratic scheme. Each stands for the best interests of his country first, then for the developing best interests of the world. If and when the indicated conference takes place it is gratifying to know that Premier King, of Can- ada, also will be a party thereto. This representa- tion of authority will be most impressive—rather the most impressive national council convened since the war. The London press generally praises the MacDon- ald plan to visit America. It expresses aiso the hope that the conference conversations may include a discussion of economics as well as disarmament. The Star (Liberal) has this to say: A new American Ambassador is coming from a new President to meet a new Prime Minister, bearing an unmistakable olive branch in his hand (in support of peace and disarmament). There will be in the new Parliament a majority of all parties concerned about these vital problems. The new Premier will have a willing and non- party army behind him in any right course he pursues, and he takes office at a mo- ment when the vexed reparations question is on the verge of settlement. The barometer is indeed set for great things. This purposed visit holds much of promise with respect to Anglo-Amerioan relations. —_— Hard jobs are Mr. Dawes's chief interest In life, and the harder the job the better he likes it.

The reason an old-timer can't see this petting in the rumble seat is because in his younger days that kind of courting wasn't started un- til the lights had been turned as low as possible. The only woman having as hard | and unhappy a time as a woman trying to get rid of a bad name is one trying to get rid of fat. You can't always tell from ap- pearances.
