What has been generally overlook-

Leading authorities on pugilism

the Soviet.

an article on the asininity of the ra
dio announcer who laughs at his own
funnyism.
:o:
The feeling of being poor, as dis
tinguished from the grim reality, has
become the especial prerogative of
those whose securities, and more par
ticularly whose stocks have taken a
headlong dive.
:o:
All who have had to bear the bruis
ing attack of the "go-getter" species

good information conveyed to us by
F. A. Platte of New York City, that
it is no longer tolerable in business.
: o:
We don't know how it would turn
out on the wet and dry question, but
if there was a referendum on the
question of having an extra session
of Congress called, the "NOS" would
be so loud they'd be able to hear it
on Mars.
:o:-
The senate's authorization for the
expenditure of 30 million dollars on

The world is now 1.S00. 000. 000 people and making laws for the sup

HYSTERIA BY COMMITTEE
If the Fish committee, which has
been investigating communism in the
United States, had not already con
victed itself of hysteria, its recom
mendations to Congress might be a
surprise.
As it is. they are just what was ex
pected. The committee finds there
are a half-million communists in the
country, and it proposes that we out-
law communism or any other subver
sive political faith. The United States
is in no peril and communism or any
other form of radicalism; but the
Fish committee would have us do
what we have never done: that is, at
tempt to suppress a political idea.
Congress, we are quite sure, will do
nothing of the sort. To do so would
be to change our form of govern
ment to keep the communists from
changing it. which would be quite as
disastrous to democracy one way as
the other.
One member of the committee.
(Congressman Nelson ot Maine, kept
lhis head wnere his colleagues could

in proportion as we worn out eco

life, in just that proportion will radi
calism fall of its own inanition and
the threat of communism cease to
disturb us." Exactly. To do what
the Fish committee proposes would
be to make more communists. More
over, it would create a tyranny of
law the consequences of which are
too well known for debate. Mr. Nel-
son has the right idea. It is by mak
ing more equitable the great wealth

it looks as if no great question can

The Federal Prohibition Commis

:o:
Two rather strange and contradic
tory trains of thought or thought
lessness! have been noticeable all
this year. One is that so many prom
inent men, officials and publicists
have kept on warning the world that
Europe is preparing for war. The
jother is that the esneral public has
continued to pay little attention to
such prophecies.
THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN
The proposed Lucretia Mott con
stitutional amendment, which guar
antees that "men and women shall
have equal rights throughout the
United States and every place sub
ject to its jurisdiction." at a hearing
held recently before a Senate Judi
ciary subcommittee, showed women
divided as to the desirability of sex
equality. The feminists of the Na
tional Women's Party were militant
and insistent in an advocacy of equal
rights for their sex through this
amendment which they are sponsor
ing. Opposed to them were numer
ous other distinguished women rep
resenting national organizations.
Whatever may be the outcome of
this agitation, notably accelerated
since the adoption of the Eighteenth
and Nineteenth Amendments, there
is a rather general feeling that its
ultimate composition is not to be se
cured and should not be through
the militancy of such organizations
as the National Woman's Party. If
sex equality is a good thing of
which many are doubtful it will be
a development brought about by edu
cational devices compelled by a new
evaluation of women and a recog
nition of a polity not known to the
ages which have preceded us.
Incidentally, and bearing some
what upon this mooted subject, the
emancipation of women in Turkey
has given them one right formerly
held by men only, a right which they
have not hesitated to exercise that
of instituting and obtaining divorce.
An average, it is said, of twenty-
five divorce suits a day are being
brought by women, which, perhaps
is natural enough, despite the injunc
tions and pronouneentents of the
Koran.
But Turkey is no criterion, as yet.

al excitement has been aroused by

to be quite willing to do.
:o:
SOME TRUTHS
The tendency of modern alleged
reform is to more and more empower
centralized government. This is
wrong and unhealthful. Mr. Presi
dent Cleveland's reassertion of the
principle of American democra:y.
that it is the business of the people jean tackle without needing a fore
to support the Government, not the man to see to it that he does his
Government to support the people, is
fundamentally right. It is not to
Congress that we should look in time
of public distress so much as to the
Legislatures of commonwealths,
which are close to the people, which
understand their needs and wants
far more accurately than any Con
gress can ever understand and know
them. And they have, and should
have, the power to act. We are sup
posed to take care of ourselves. In
times of public distress such as the
present, when the country has am;?le
supplies of money, of food and raw
materials and credit, there must be
something wrong when public indus
try can be widely disturbed and gen
eral suffering can attain to major
proportions. But it is not to a pa
ternal Government that we would
look for relief and succor. The people
and the states have rights and duties
which may not safely be frittered
away either in the name of humanity
or of economic expediency.

FIRELIGHT DREAMS
Strange are the dreams
When the firelight gleams
And the winds outside are blowing.
My fancies play
At the end of the day
While the coals are highly glowing.
I'm a jolly soul
And I'll fill my bowl
And I'll drink it down at a sitting
What do I care
Blue eyes gold hair
A woman's smile 'tis fitting.
What a foolish whim
That my eyes grow dim
And a flame that mocks and flashes
How strange that I
Should sit and sigh
'Til there's naught but cold grjiy
ashes.

ASSASSINATING KING COTTON

MORE OR LESS TRUE
What a lot of hostesses can't

Eating is one job the average man

An egotist is a husband who thinks

knowing him as she does now, she d
still jump at the chance to marry

Our idea of a modern sissy is a
ribbon-counter Sheik who owns one

out in the bathroom bowl every
night and hangs over the tub to dry.
A man boasts that he never fools

If a man went to a formal evening
party with as much of his bare back

freeze to death from the exposure.
A lot of the money the women
spend on themselves may look wast
ed, but it would look more so if it
had been spent on their husbands.
Another advantage in having the
wife working, too, is that when they
get home at night she's as sick of
town as he is, and there is no argu
ment about going back a,fter the

So far we haven't heard of a scien
