GETTING READY FOR MARRIAGE Much hustling to dressmaker’s, many pleasing social events, planning for decorations, etc. These are sonje incidents of the weeks before young peo- ple get 'married. The period previous to the June weddings each year sees quite a stir among the prospective bridal couples. if ‘the wise old philosophers had their say, the bridegrooms would be working like tigers to get some extra dollars ahead. The brides would be anxiously taking cooking lessons, wondering if they cah produce muffins, hash, and pie that will not interfere with “his” digestion. Probably it is too much to expect jubilant youth w follow sage philosophy. Still, if more of the young people would prepare for matrimony the way one gets ready for a well thought out busines§ venture, the divorce courts would have less to do, and not so many tears would flow. USELESS LABOR WARFARE The thought that came to most Americans | when they read that the general strike in Great | Britain was over, was that a vast loss has occurred | withoul any special result being attained. The agreenient to end the strike is of the nature of a comprqmise, and this compromise might just as | well h@ve been made in the first place. Bgth elements have approached the situation | | This too may be a normal point of vie in the wrong spirit. The capitalists thought that an underpaid element of people would be satisfied with further long postponements of relief, and the employes got the idea that a minority element could Bluff the whole people and force them to | do what they wanted. The whole thing ought to be a lesson to war- | ring industrial elements everywhere, to give judi- cial consideration to points of view different from their own. needless, and they injure all elements in society. tabout time for Like wars, such conflicts are wholly | ONE MILLION CAMPERS More than 1,000,000 boys and girls are ex- | pected to attend 6,000 camps that will be provided | for them during the coming summer. This modern | development is quite a change from the old days | when so many boys spent much vacation time slouching on curbstones, and the girls spent a large | part of it in dreaming and in child play. These youngsters return to their homes as brown as berries, they will know something about | good games, they will have learned to obey rules, | and they will behave pretty well until many of | their homes demoralize them by lax government. | Many of them would be better off if they were un- | der camp discipline all the time. Which is a sug- gestion to a good many indulgent and forceless parents, that they might well study the methods by which these summer camps get control of the children and make them ‘play the game. STATE POWER President Coolidge made an urgent appeal for | the full use of the powers of the scveral states of this union, in his address at William and Mary col- lege in Virginia. He took the ground that the national government can not attend properly to the functions of the local government, which should be left to the states. But he warned the states that unless they do their duty, and look after their | own affairs diligently and well, there will be in- | creased demand for the national government to | - step in and look after these neglected duties. The tendency was a growing one for a good many years, if the state governments did not at- tend to certain jobs, to pass the buck up to the national government. Uncle Sam’s authority; regarded as such a big and powerful and efficient thing, that we all looked up to him to do the things we were often too indolent to do for our- selves, But while the government of the yarious states is often unsatisfactory, it is at least subject to home influence. If the people of any state are not satisfied with this or that condition, they can was easily put in their appearance at the state capital and put up a complaint against it that will be | heard. But these same people might agitate their demands at Washington. not be so much that congress was not theoret/cally interested, as that in the press of problems coming from all over 48 states, only the most urgent ones could obtain attention and relief. The American people have got to get busy and pay more attention to their state governments, see that they are run in a high class way, send their best men to the state legislatures, and when they do that many pressing problems will cease to give trouble The trouble would THE SEARCH FOR SECLUSION When they go away for a summer rest, some people want to get as far as possible from human contacts, while some rush into the biggest crowd they can find, and do not seem satisfied unless someone is stepping on their foes or jostling their elbows every minute. President Coolidge, as stated at Washington, is choosing the former alternative, and is expected to spend his vacation at a secluded camp in the Adirondack forests. After meeting day after day the procession of seekers for legislation and of- fices and favors that constantly asks his aid, it is natural for him to desire to get away to some place where it is possible to think and act like a normal human being. Even there, if he goes out to any public place, there will be a jam of curiosity seekers to see what kind of clothes he wears and what a real president looks like.
