ibs ree oN eye Up the Golden Stairs i America has joined the league of nations, the United \ States senate nevertheless and notwithstanding. 4, P. Morgan and associated American bankers, who get their money from the American people, are joining the league powers—Britain, France, Italy, | ium, Czecho- slovakia, Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Spain and Switzerland—in the task of saving Austria. “This is the first step in the rehabilitation of Central Europe,” says Morgan, as he prepares to chip in $25,000, 000 of a $ 100,000 loan to the stricken nation, Now, there's no kick against America’s helping rehabili- sate Central Europe. The collapse of Austria would pre- ¢cipitate another dangerous crisis in a E ope which al- ready menaces the world with another war, Anything Which lessens the danger of war and promotes world peace we are for. But if we can work with the league to save Austria, S Why can’t we work with the league to save the world, including ourselves? Why the clamor when President © Harding suggests our joining the world court? 3 Does Henry Cabot Lodg« or, from Nahant, Mass,, raise his voice a rer of joining the league? Loud silence fron . Not a Cabotian whisker stirs. Not a protesting Not even a reservation. Joining the leag to make money and joining the Teague to make the world safe from war are obviously two different things. In the one case the profit is in dollars and cents and goes to Wall Street. In the other the profit is in tranquil hearthstones, peace and security, and goes to plain folks everywhere. Anyway, we're joining the league—not by the back | door, and not by the side door, and not thru the cellar > but up the golden stairs. 4 a Thirty-three killed and M3 wounded during the first quarter of this Year in grade crossing accidents! No, not in the U. 8. A. but in the single state of Pennsylvania, In a country with 15,000,000 automobiles and 300,000 miles of railroads, the grade crossing is nothing less than #n accomplice to murder, both before and after the accident takes place. Cheer up. Those Russians, with great self-restraint, have decided not to lick the stuffin’ out of the Britons, This poison hootch is sure awful. Once on a time you knew a may had been dr’ ng by his breath and actions. Now you view the remains. About the most popular person on earth is a sleepy chaperone, Many an amateur gardener grows nothing but disgusted. Some neighbors will take anything except a hint It is all right to hit a fly when he is down The Reason Back of Divorce The latest report on the divorce evil, in this country, shows that, in the 20 years ending in 1906, our nation granted one divorce for every 13 marriages. England ‘ ited one for every 406, Italy one for every ¢ ind one for every 187, Austria one for every 152, Australia one for every 98, etc. The one large country having a higher divorce rate than the United States was » With one for every four marriages. Right on the heels of this showing, the Methodist F I Sunday school board, after long and careful investigation of the matter of divorce, has set out its views. “If fewer of the unfit,” it says, “were permitted to marry; if marriage were more than a bit of romance or a temporary adventure; if standards were lifted until the mistake was the rare exception; if society recognized ‘that the family is a divine institution; if there were a federal marriage and divorce and remarriage law, strictly forced; then the mpede to the court of domestic relationships would reduced. Divorce should not be made impossible, but very difficult.” _ There you have it. When you seek a solution of the divorce problem you must go back to the beginning—to marriage. If only we could contrdl that—if only the mar- Yiage relation, with all its big and vital responsibilities, Were entered into in the right way, at the right time of life and by the right people, the divorce records would €ease to vex us. Ill-advised marriage is the cause and divorce the effect. One is no greater evil than the other. Who is there to tell us how to correct and control them? The Chinese are rejoicing over the bandit episode, according to advices fo the department of commerce, saying “the soldiers of the north proy- inces will now be kept busy for a few weeks and will not have to loaf _ about the towns ard prey on the people.” China evidently has her own “yellow peril.” age ate es Henry Ford loaned money to the city of Detroit and made no attempt ' to apply skin-game methods. That ought to make Wall Street stand aghast. “That fellow Stillman certainly lived up to his name for a long time, but listen to thr noise now, will you! They call it strawberry shortcake because it doesn’t last long. Pretty soon farmers will be planning picnics to make it rain. Talk may be cheap, but cheap things don’t pay. . Pittsburg’s Liquid Idea When it comes to evolving great and original financial Schemes, you must hand it to Pittsburg, even if that town does eat soup with a fork. ee One of its native sons—one Griéssef-—+comes forth ‘with the latest alluring project. Hg plans to build an island in the Atlantic, just outside the 8-mile limit, at a cost of $5,000,000—a haven for the thirsty. He says the island would be three city blocks in extent, have two large hotels, a swimming pool and baths, four beer gar- dens, an opera house, tennis courts, bowling alleys, bil- liard roomsan art museum, and above ail, like an old castle in the storied Rhine, would rise the castellated tanks of the brewery. Does it not look good? Or does it? That’s what he wants to know. He tried to sell stock in his project in Pittsburg but encountered authorized opposition, Strange to relate, Now he is in New York seeking financial aid. He is not Meeting with the success, he thinks, that his liquid de- Seription of the projected island merits, Naturally, he thought New York, under all the circumstances, would do anything for a drink. . _ Perhaps that island, still in the fertile brain of Griesser, is not big enough, measured by the eye and palate of Gotham. Only three city blocks! Huh} No. New York won't spend anything for aggravation. It thirsts for satisfaction. ——_—____ Wherever William Jennings Bryan is, there, also, ment. is a vehement argu. —_____ Footprints on the sands of time are not made by sitting down, About all some of our citizens join in at church is the singing.
