Add similes: “As hopeless as an ex- pert, predicting the course of war.” As the bank roll gets bigger, the rub- ber band gets tighter, but it’s no help if the owner is elastic. We intend to present no 10 easy les- | sons in how to become a conciliator, but the | members of the newly formed board should | stop and consider the case of McAlister. | There must be a reason why their fel- | low-townsmen trust and accept a man they | have met three times, a few days each time, in preference to the constituted authority of city, county and state.

Some months ago the government closed foreign schools where children learned German, Italian or Japanese, but no Portuguese. These schools ‘taught obe- dience to foreign doctrines and refused to engage Brafilian teachers ‘and ‘attempted to perpetuate foreigh groups inditte Brazil. When conscripts came inte the Brazil- ian army, utterly unable to speak the lan- guage of the country, the authorities deem- ed it necessary to make the teaching of Portuguese compulsory. When the schools closed, the foreign countries resorted to the newspapers to continue their campaign against Brazilianization. It is interesting te note that the news- papers shut-down include thirteen Ger- man, eight Arabic, six English, three Jap- anese, two Jewish, one Spanish, one Polish | and one Hungarian journals. The Citizen, it should be remembered, serves the public interest upon many oc- casions by giving free publicity when itis needed by° government and social organ- | izations. The publisher is pleased to say that its'effette:‘Hlong these lines is generally apyrements there ‘ave few exceptions. A peld-tlager from the West, aged 60, one of the last of the old-time prospectors, is on a visit in New York. He says there is still plenty of gold in “them thar hills”, but “you fellows in the East lead such artificial lives that you're afraid to take chances.” He finds plenty “gold diggers” of another sort but is still looking for the woman of “long dresses and long tresses.” Unless he changes his attitude, it is very likely he will | remain a bachelor a long time, and his time is gettiag short.
