He thinks conversation and respiration are synonyms. If there is anything that will expose a non-intellectual being it is its daily wind-jammering. It is much better that you mortgage your broadcasting station for a weather vane and determine the direction of other winds. BACK ON THE JOB Congress is going to make a law! Not since they convened in November, has a law even been discussed. Investigations have been the order of business, — investigations of everything they could think of, even each other. Then came the Teapot Dame affair, and Congress, as well as the rest of us, was paralyzed into more inactivity, not forget all about making laws. So each party began to drag the other into the mess, and succeeded so well in smirching each other's names that they still have about an equal chance for the decision in the coming political battle. Too long have they watched from the aides in the battle of the parties, when taxes, bonus, immigration, railroads, and farm problems are getting dim and illegible on the Congressional slate. south share. But they finally tired of leafing on the job; or else they realised how weary their public was of their inactivity. So now they've started on the tax problem. Perhaps they will revise income taxes by the Melton plan or the Democratic ratio scheme. Perhaps the surtax will be cut 25 per cent, or 44 per cent, or not at all—we don't care. Our August lawmakers are on the job again. MONEY, MONEY, MONEY Some people regard an A. B. as a bank certificate or a traveler's cheque. They college that existence termed "after sport" is a sort of a fish pond affair, in which, having once procured the pole, and line, one is to cable for everything from oil leases to motion picture rights. These persons recognize success only as in evening dress. Education means to them but a process of lifting; lifting erg so that he can lift the shocks. It is nothing but means to escape the mean in life. How many of us would shake hands with a university degree if it walked only with the four horsemen of poverty? How many of us would not have the world exchange propheting for profiting? PATRIOTISM AT SO MUCH PER The political campaign begins, the demagogue struts forth with their usual line of hand made political bank. The issue is forgotten while the loud-mouthed orate shouts from the stump. "Vote for me, because it is patriotic to vote for me and my party?" is his slogan. Who in these United States, is important enough that it should be considered important to vote for him in order to be patriotic? Why cast away the flag for an ambitions politician? Mention to the flag strikes a responsive chord in the American heart and that is why the politician speaks from a stand drapped with Old Glory. In order to stick his fingers farther into the spells of 'forgilied graft' he wives beset men from polities and be service of the nation. Elected, i forgets patricotism, and casts about or something to steel. The Teen Dome affair brings home to the American people the one falling of American politics. True citizenship can never exist, until the best people run for office. Lord Bryce shocked the American people by declaring this, forty years ago. What kind of a citizen is Fall. How do Doheny and Sinclair excuse themselves for their actions? Either one of these men considers himself a true patriot, and a noble citizen. It is impossible to imagine their feelings when the flag goes by. Under the dome of the capitol at Washington are paintings of the great American historical events. The pioneer hews his way into the wilderness, Washington sees his troops freeze at Valley Ferry. Perry performs a miracle on Lake Erie. Would it be possible to paint a picture for the dome showking Fall and Denby saving the nation's wealth at Tempot Dome? It does not look as if the present day politician will ever make history worthy of the signal honor. C. Hewson Griffes, who attempted to kidnap Greer Cleveland Bergdoll away from Germany, has returned to his own country to be hailed. PETTY KIDNAPPING to kidnap Grover Cleveland Bergdoll from Germany, has returned to his own country to be lauded. It seems that such action as his, while in Germany, is something marvelous and worthy of much "huzzazing" by the general population. "And he is now getting the proper attention. Some might say that Mr. Griffie 'attempted abducting was merely a great bit of grandstand play. And others might conceive of an organized attempt at prograndma making for certain organizations in this country. But those things would probably not be so for the manner in which Mr. Griffie is being received dispels any doubt as to his sincerity and honesty of purpose. The greatest pity is that there has not been any much attention given to the slackers who remained on this side as there has been given to Bergdoll. If several of the fire-eating citizens would do a few spectacular moves toward the downing of slackers and their post war activities, the country would profit more, although the daily accounts might not be as interesting as the international game of hide and seek which has been going on. The recent investigations in Washington have disclosed some splendid opportunities for the United States to clean house. Better get the home door step clean before going after wayward sons on foreign shores. "Hiram Calls for Broom"—headline. In demanding that the G. O. P. pween its house clean, it looks as if fr. Johnson were bidding in for the draw vote. Shades of the Literary Digest! Dr. Charles J. Smith, president of Roanoke college, in a recent address before the national educational body of his church, made the point that "the world has never known the turning loose of such an army of hard-drinking, cigarette-puffing, licentious Amazons who have invaded and invade our campus today." The Modern Amazon Editorial of the Day lies too easily. The character of the charge must make it a serious one indeed, were it not for the fact that the American people are becoming accustomed to such outbursts. All very well for the intelligent individuals behind their theories, to plan the youth of today-throw their arm skyward and intimate generally that "they are not responsible for the outcome." Purchts and sisters who live with a good part of their children with these "Amazonas" know them as pretty "tame" imitations of the original. The learned doctor places the blame squirrelly on the children, which must be a relief to their adults. It is his belief that there is not enough interest in them in school and that worth-worth matters, or what he pleases to regard as worth-white matters, occupy an all too small place in the students' lives.

The situation really amounts to What. The youth of today have one may be divided into two groups. They have actually advanced the activity of religion in non-sectarian schools. And they have succeeded in shocking "the life out of" just such charisma as the doctor's will statements are interesting only in so far as they support a theory. And that theory is that youth, triumphant through all the ages, will continue to mystify. And understand how carefully to understand this youth will, failing in this, rail at them and call down "judgment" on their heads—K. C. Kanman IDEAL SUMMER VACATION.
