One week from today is the election, Just as a reminder. As if ele needed it. Users-of safety razors don’t talk them- selves into-having a massage, shampoo, singe and hair tonic. You may depend upon it that a person who is very talkative is also given to men- dacity. And oddly enough in extreme cases they believe their own lies. Less than one per cent of the people of Holland are illiterate. That why the country is happy and peaceful. In illiteracy there is rum, riot and revolution. The Miami Herald uses 95,000 pounds of ink yearly, while the Miami News uses 120,000. That may or may not be an ae- curate way of arriving at circulation figures. The Chicago Tribune uses 2,500,- 000 pounds of ink to make the millions think. With the election only one week ahead the tension is bound to grow a bit keener over the country. Partisians of both sides are becoming more and more earnest and demonstrative in their support of one side or another, though very little of that is shown here in this democratic stronghold. Accounts of suicides usually indicate a preference for the quickest and easiest way out of life. An exception comes from Cuba in a recent report stating that 65 girls, from 16 to 23 years of age, committed suicide in Havana during a three-week period be- cause they were disappointed in love or tired of living. Each soaked her clothing! with alcohol and applied a match, choosing this painfial death in accordance with anj the size of a coconut as being about the | season. historic Ciban tradition. die! What a way to * THE FORK OF THE ROAD Engrosed in the relatively unimportant | attention to the international drama about formed into another world-wide tragedy. We refer to the forthcoming arma- ments conference at Geneva. The decisions of that conference may determine the fate of countless millions who are still suffering devastating World War which is supposed to have ended 14 years ago. The question is simple, but the ans- wer is difficult. The question is: Suall the nations earnestly seek to promote world peace through a mutual agreement to dis- arm, or shall they revert to the rule of the jungle, whereby might m. “es right? If ever in the world’s history there was need for a calm and dispassionate con- sideration of the problems which confront the natious, that time is now. Some signs point to the possibility of agreements, which might make for a lasting } 2ce, but there are ominous clouds on the horizon which may presage the approach another world-wide storm. Fear and dis- trust, not to mention the urge of national ! pride and ambition, still stalk over the earth. As for the United States, her position has been clearly and unmistakably stated by President Hoover, who has suggested a plan for the reduction of 2'l armaments by one-third as a starter in the direction of eliminating all offensive armamenis. This country wants peace, and is willing to make any reasonable concessions to obtain it, not only for ourselves but for the rest of the world as well. But the president served notice in his Navy Day speech that unless other nations show a like disposition to accommodate their differences by peaceful negotiations, the United States will be forced in self de- fense to build a navy equal to any in the world for the protection of our people and their commerce on the high seas. This timely declaration should have a sobering effect upon the Geneva conference, and it is to be hoped that it will have such an ef- fect. Civilization is at the fork of the road. On the one hand lies the avenue to peace and the rehabilitation of the world. On the other lies the path to utter disaster and ruin. The gentlemen to be assembled at Geneva have the heavy responsibility of deciding which road they shall take. And upon that decision may rest the fate of civilization itself. WALTER JOHNSON OUT Followers of the national game are regretful over the fact that Walter John- son will no longer be identified with the Washington Senators as. manager, his re- lease having been announced some days ago. The Senators without Johnson will seem like the play without Hamlet. It is as a pitcher that Johnson will be longest remembered by baseball fans, and as such he holds the record for most pitch- ing years, most games pitched and most games won by any slabman of a major league. Johnson's big league career of 21 years as a player was all with the Wash- ington team, during which he won 414 games and lost 275. In one game against Chicago in 1924 he struck out 14 batsmen, 6 of them in succession. He pitehed a no- hit game against Cincinnati in 1920. 1913 he pitched 56 consecutive shut-out in- nings between April 10 and May 14. In all he pitched 113 shut-out games and is credited with striking out 3,494 opposing batters. During the greater part of his long } service he worked with a hopelessly in- ferior team, yet he never failed to put his whole heart into the game. Only once did Washington win a worlds It won the American League pennant 1925, but lost the series to Pittsburgh. In addition to being admired as one of the greatest baseball pitchers of all time, Walter Perry Johnson universally es- } teemed for his fine personal character and | exemplary sportsmanship.
