Today 7 he Right Stmt. A 15-Million City. A Good Methodist Fight. Pink Dresses—Poor Women. By ARTHUR BRISBANE President Coolidge picked the right man to deal with the coal problem. Governor Pinchot be gins negotiations by telling both sides that the important party in the discussion is not the mine owner and not the mine worker, but the PUBLIC. He adds that a strike will not be permitted. His otatement, concerning a settle ment, “the thing is possible, it must be done,” describes the situ ation. With proper support from the president, who has the power to work the mines if their owners cannot work them, the big thing will be done. The workers know that Pinchot is a just man, friendly to the under dog. The owners know that Pinchot is an able man, under stands business and is no “red” radical. Courtland Smith, chairman of the board of the American Press association and chief assistant of Will Hays, recently back from California, says: “YoU|Under-estimate the growth of Los Angeles and of all Cali fornia. Within 60 years there will be 16,000,000 people in Los An geles. Americans of the solid, substantial kind will go there more and more throughout the years, as Americans of aa earlfer day went to Paris, and those 1(hat go to Los Angeles, stay there. Los Angeles will pass New York in time—bigger ocean, better cli mate, cheaper living, greater hap piness and comfort per dollar.” The Methodist Episcopal church has started a war on prize fight ing. attacking especially brutal ex hibitions given under sanction of the highest officials, in the army and navy. You are told that boxing de velops courage. But you didn’t notice it in the war. The percent age of boxers that did NOT go to war was higher than in any other line of effort. “Fighting with fists develops courage,” they say. In these days when men must face the sharp end of a bayonet, keep their nerves when bombs explode and shrapnel flies, to call boxing a preparation for real war is pre posterous. In old /lays of fighting with flsts men used to bite off each other’s ears and noses. Why not start, in the army and navy, car and nose-biting contests under the superintendence of ad mirals and generals, to make our boys “brave?” The Methodist* are to be con gratulated on a fight that a doxen churches should have started long ago. Some American fighters, Grant, Sherman, I^ec, Farragut, not to mention Lincoln, who did the mental fighting, got along quite well without pri^e fighting to develop their morale. At the Bedford reformatory for girls, young ladies that behave are allowed to wear bright pink dress es. As a result there is improve ment in manners. “Poor, weak, female human nature,” says superior MAN. But men have paid more atten tion to dress in the past than to any other one thing. Many a king thought more of his gold crown, purple cloak, lined with ermine, than of his people or his own morals. The great. Alexander, rebuking discontented followers, held out the royal cloak from his shoulders, reminding them that he had made them all rich, whereas that eloak was all he had got out of his travels, fighting and risks. Napoleon, selecting the robe worn when he took the crown from the pope's hands to crown himself, chose a magnificent costume, much fancier than any pink dress of the reformatory girl And it inter ested him as much as any battle. The army air service plans a flight 60,000 feet up. That an nouncement will seem atrange 600 years from now. In the great depths of the ocean are fish that never have been more than a few fathoms above the bed of the sea. Billions of them live and die without rising to the sur face. The nir around us is OUR ocean. VVe are the fish living at the bottom of it. But unlike those deep sea tish. we overcome physi cal conditions with our brains, and slowly wp rise. The day is coming when many will live for long periods six miles in the air, where there is no wind, conducting the big around-thc world flying machines, that never come down except for repairs, dropping passengers in smaller air bpats at principal points, Pekin, Uotnloifi, etc., living in the air, as millions of Chinese at present live on the water, never coming ashore.
