Today A Brave Italian. Turn Young Men. Sermons in Monkeyt. Joy on Mars. By ARTHUR BRISBANE John W. Davis, on second thought, decides to attack tho Ku Klux Klan by name. Having done so, he calls out to Coolidge, "come on in, you do some attacking by name also.” Will Coolidge accept the invita tion? If you ask that, you do not know "cool Calvin.” Nobody can hurry him. Two young men are on their way to America. One, the prince of Wales, you may have seen men tioned in the newspapers. The other, Malcom MacDonald, member of the Oxford debating teams, is the son of Ramsay Mac Donald, who worked his way up 'from the ranks of labor and is now prime minister of England. Which of the two do you think will attract more attention in this land of equality, rugged, democ racy and freedom from snobbery— the son of a workingman whose courage and genius have made him prime minister and real ruler of the British empire, or the son of the king, George, who owes every thing he has to accident of birth? It takes a Frenchman, and an old one, Camillg Flammarion, to H say that the people on Mars are much more joyful than we are. The Martian year is twice as long as ours. There a man 50 years old has lived 100 years, near ly. The climate is better and the planet being smaller, everything is lighter. An ordinary Martian could easily carry his mother-in law upstairs in his arms, even if she weighed 400 pounds. Millions of years older in their civilization than Earth men, the Martians are far ahead of us in knowledge and that means happiness. In fact, its the only solid happiness. After awhile civilized human beings will decide that rats and mice don’t pay and take the trouble to get rid of them along with mosquitoes, flies and other nuisances that Father Noah might well have left out of the ark. An English scientist demon strates that rats suffer from foot and mouth disease and frequenting ■tables infect the cattle. Moral for farmers, use cement and copper and keep out the rats. The deepest hole in the ocean has been found by the Japanese navy near the Bossu Peninsula. There is a “precipice” in the ocean at least six miles deep. The crumbling of that precipice might account for some earth quakes which are really earth alips. But what little precipice it is com pared with the earth’s total size much less than the one thous sandth part of the earth’s diame ter. A lady bug on an apple would be to that apple a mountain more than 10 times as high as Mt. Everest. Clarence Darrow, a lawyer who thinks and feels, and consequently earns little in proportion to his great ability, tells the court that to hang the two young men whom he defends, Loeb and Leopold, “would be a worse crime than they committed.” And that is the truth, exactly. If a red Indian tortured a white man for 24 hours, that would not ex cuse white man for torturing that red man even for 24 minutes. The greater the intelligence and respon sibility, the greater the crime. That two mentally deformed and badly taught young degenerates are guilty of a horrible crime does not excuse civilization committing another crime and setting the ex ample of killing, instead of leaving that }o barbarians. Canadian money is on a par with our proud dollar. Everybody ought to be glad of it for it means pros perity for our brothers across the northern border. Wall street says the Canadian dollar goes up because of “the prospects for Canadian govern ment financing in the American market to the amount of $200, 000,000.” That isn’t the only reason, Ca nadians are able, aggressive. Their government knows how to own ^ and manage railroads, which is w more than our government knows. Our financiers show their respect for Canadian ability by buying Canadian stocks at a higher price in proportion than they are willing to pay for American stocks. It’s bad luck in China even for an undertaker, if you bring a corpse on premises that he owns. In Canton, an undertaker was to receive dead soldiers and supply coffins. To ward off the evil in fluence and the wrath of the three ghosts, he sold the coffins for less than actual cost That kind of su perstition will not spread In this •nlightened land. BANK CASHIER APHASIA VICTIM St. Peter, Minn., Au(. 25.—F. A. Ludwig, cashier of the First National Hank of Minnesota Lake, who had been mlaalng since August », whan shortages were found In hla accounts, was arrested Sunday In a woods In Belgrade township, 10 miles south of here, apparently the victim of Raphaels. Questioned by officers, Ludwig could recall nothing of his life previ ous to the time he had left hla wife In Mankato on August S. Mra. Lud wig and Ludwig's sister were brought here, but the banker recognised neither of them and said so far as ha could recall he had never been mar rled.
