Cie Navy, Weaker Than r oat i Star Publishing jut ae i Labor Disputes RGANIZED labor last year won more disputes than employers, for the first ti since 1916, the Rand ool reports. Over a period of two and a half years 692 disputes were won by labor, 1,095 by employers and 505 were com- promised It is not many years since employers won all disputes except in the rare occasions when they made concessions out of “goodness of their hearts.” The tide is turning since labor copied capital by organizing. We wonder how many disputes were lost by the great third party, the unorganized public. The civic federation declares that the country Is growing better, the Sensation panderer! What Makes Value DOCUMENT bearing the signature of George Wash- ington and his wife is sold at auction for $225. Most of us would sign our name 10,000 or more times for that much money. The big price, however, was paid for RARITY rather than because of the Washington signatures. If George and Martha had left a million signed papers they'd be worth less than a dollar apiece. That’s why collectors pay fabulous sums for scarce coins of modern times, while coins minted 2,400 years ago and still existing in great quantities are worth next to nothing It is announced that women will have much to do with writing party platforms this year, and it may be expected the latter will have some style about them, College Girls and Law i Saas it fierce that self-government is getting so many jolts these sad days? It is. Even Vassar college, that educational retreat for women where the highbrow has not yet entirely fallen before the onslaught of the bob, has been jarred from turret to foundation stone. The only reason it has been overlooked is because of the louder and distracting hullabaloo in Washington. Some time ago, the college girls established rules for self-government. These rules prohibited smoking, un- chaperoned joyrides, unexplained absence from study periods, and such like. They were fair-to-middlin’ laws, but—they couldn't be enforced. Some girls, it is con- fessed in whispers, would smoke, others would joyride regardless of restraining influences, still others would let their studies go hang, while nearly all of the student body contributed one or several derelictions that seemed to gum the situation badly. A call for a show-down finally came: The student government trembled and toppled. Now, a committee of six students is trying to revise the governing laws and has already decided to adopt only such as the girls “ap- prove by vote and that can be enforced.” The result is awaited with more or less bated breath, Sor, perhaps, we are to learn something from the smok- ing, joy-riding, study-flunking college women about law- making. Perhaps, without knowledge, experience or in- tent, they have come upon the very meat of self-govern- ment. They are going to adopt only such laws as crystal- lize their sentiments—such laws as can be enforced. And, come té think of it, of what earthly, or women’s college, good or use is a law that does not express popular senti- ment and cannot be enforced? We'd like to know. Thefe are no cuss words in the language of the Laplanders, we are told, and one wonders how they discuss their weather. Speeding Up ULES VERNE created a sensation when he wrote his book, “Around the World in 80 Days.” That seems slow now. The other day the king of England sent a tele- gram which, relayed, circled the earth and came back to him in 80 seconds, Radio does the same thing in a fraction of one second. In Verne’s day fast transportation of the HUMAN BODY was the goal. Our generation has concerned itself also with fast transportation of THOUGHT. Give us the radio movie and we can stay at home and see the world, also hear the sounds of the far-off places. And who knows but what even odors will come by radio?—the fra- grant lotus bloom, the stench of the jungle, the aroma of liquor in Cuba. “You do mot support republican policies,” say Michigan republicans to Senator Couzens. “What are the republican policie: comes back Senator Cotzens, which, as the sporting editor would say, is a cross- counter on the jaw, Wise Forefathers! Se our republic was founded, more than 3,500 schemes to amend the constitution have been intro- duced in congress. The figure is supplied by Professor Henry V. Ames, able authority. The framers of the constitution overlooked a lot of bets. They naturally failed to provide many things not needed at the time but absolutely necessary now. They made the constitution extremely difficult to amend. Was that better than making it too easy to adjust? The chemists who are delving in search of a liquid that will be quick death to opposing armies, may well consult the bootlegger, if they are in real earnest. He has the goods, A Dangerous Blunder MERICA is lagging behind all leading European coun- tries in flying; according to speakers at an aviation banquet. Maj. Hensley, commandant at Mitchel field, says: “Ac- cording to present indications, before 1927 we will have nothing to fly with.” If this is so, it’s a dangerous blunder. A nation’s first line of defense in future wars will be the air. France will be able to hang onto the Ruhr as long as she has su- premacy with planes, A pedestrian is a person whom the automobilist believes is beneath him. Losing Control <M ied pe experts say that within 10 years the rail- roads will be handling a third more freight and a fourth more passengers than now. The most gigantic achievement proves inadequate he- fore it is completed. Our transportation system, for in- stance, has advanced to the point where the railroads in a year move 38 billion passengers one mile and haul 457 billion tons of freight one mile. To do all this requires tremendous power and organization. Yet the railroads increasingly become more of a problem. Industry in general is growing faster than man can control it. Hence its many evils. Some loafer has written a history of the saxaphone, TREE BY HON, M. L.

In the event of war we could no get close enough to the other navies to score am bull’s-eyes. 4 Our navy must be as good as the best. Unless it is, then it is worse than none at all.
