By strict rectitude since the war, many second lieutenants have almost lived down their past. The trouble with superior people is ihat so many of them insist on reminding us of their superiority. Common sense and common have a great dcal to do in walking straight ar’ narrow path. honesty the You can go to church whether you agree with the preacher or not; maybe, he does not agree with you.

Whenever the Army group is against a Premier all that is necessary, to bring about his fall, or prevent the formation of a cabinet, is for the army officers to refuse to serve. The threat of such action has been sufficient in the past to upset Japanese governments but the Army has never play- ed its hand more boldly than last week. The formation of a government was de- layed, if not thrawted, by refusal of of- ficers to serve the man ordered by the It hap- pened that he was a general but this made no difference with the Army. Just to imagine such a condition in | the United States demonstrates the differ- ence between the two countries. How- ever, Japan appears to be making prog- ress toward a parliamentary form of gov- ernment that will be responsible to the people. Other nations might watch their chance to help the work along by being considerate of the problems that confront liberal governments in Japan. WHO Is INTELLIGENT? Dr. E. E. Free, the eminent scientist, hands a rather hard jolt to certain profes- sions which are popularly supposed to em- brace a large share of the world’s intelli- gence. Among those who may be said to be intelligent at all, he places university pro- fessors, actors, doctors and preachers low- est in the scale. His reason for this con- léSion,.which he says is made as a result feses research, is that “their intelli- BNE. exercise; they learn to con- jogmatic plausibility with, truth.” iene further, Dr. Free declares that ‘ the class of persons who use “their brains 46)beS8t advantage are the fonemen-me- chanics, chief riggers, precision machinists and the like. Slightly less able than these are engineers and technical men, all of whom are “required to get the facts ‘be- |! fore reaching conclusions.” The learned doctor doesn’t say just where editors come in. Maybe it is well. Possibly they don’t come in at all. IN THE HEAVENS Things are happening in the heavens according to responsible astronomers, whe tell us that four exploding stars have been discovered in the past twelve months and warn us that if a bright star, like thé North star, should suddenly “explode” it would dazzle the heavens. ; Exploding stars are so-cilled because for some unknown reason they suddenly increase in brilliance, sometimes tto many thousands times their former brightness. It is reassuring to remember stars are far away and that light, moving ; 186,000 miles a second, takes years to reach this globe. However, man begins to understand the marvellous balance of the universe when he realizes that in spite of vast distances, some happening in stellar space might, some day, blast the world and sear the life of all living things. Some, he said, are like a trout, always : jumping from one church -to » , Others were likened to the sucket—easy tioned ¢he flounder, which can see only one way—he sees the faults of the preach- Another type was compared with the catfish, which hides on the bottom of the creek until a freshet arouses him—the church membet that | =e West and Vicinity: Partly Fe Bir tanrateigene 5 and Sea level, 30.08, WEATHER FORECAST (Till 7:30 p, m., Sunday) are un- | Sundzy; gentle to moderate east- mas een the their g HLF i kets, where it is sold in com; with the coal produced by the owners of the coal lands, The legitimate spent, naturally find it difficult to meet thi tion because the bison no taxes or bond inte!
