Today It Hnined in If nil St. A Hint to Soldiers. Mr. Hi refi rr % Dead If ife. ('.oefitnils, Then Food. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. V ____ Sad times in Wall street yester day. The sky was weeping, and so were the speculators. Many “active” stocks showed their activ ity on the way down hill, going to new low prices for the year. However, this is the richest coun try in the world. It has the wealth, the industrial intelligence, it has the gold and it has the future. Nothing to worry those that in vest. Those that gamble must al ways worry, more or less. On April 26 General Mitchell, to whom this country owes what in formation it has about the air de fense situation, becomes a colonel and will he sent to Texas to work under General Hines. The latter probably will learn something about flying. Men In the army,now learn that the way to get ahead is to keep your mouth shut, uttering no pro test against their superior officials, if the latter happen to be more in terested in the profits of battleship builders than in the welfare of their country. John Bircher, 73 years old, mur dered his wife, then killed himself. Mr. Bircher had prayed in pub I lie for the conversion of his wife to exactly the religious ideas that he carried around in his massive brain. When she declined to be converted he murdered her. By killing him self he at least rid the world of one dangerous nuisance. You read with horror of such a crime, but you find comfort in this thought: There was a time, not long ago, when nations and organized re ligions within the nations did on a gigantic scale exactly what this haif-crazy man in Ohio did to his wife. It is a blessing that murdering people because of religious ideas is now confined to maniacs. We no longer torture nnd burn human beings because we don’t happen to like their ideas on religion. Charles A„.Wood, probation of ficer, who sees a good deal of fam1 ily troubles, says that drink as a wrecker of homes has become worse under prohibition. You can understand that when you hear about “combination cock tail and dinner parties.” Ladies and gentlemen gather at the house of some friend to drink cocktails, and, having thoroughly poisoned their systems and scorched their mucous membrane from one end to the other, they adjourn to a restaurant to eat. The result of this charming Amer ican custom will appear in death statistics later. * Peru and Chile have a misunder standing about certain territories and a plebiscite, a vote of people living on the spot will decide the matter. Peru %sks the United States to ' guarantee the fairness of that ple biscite, and that might mean med dling with affairs not ours. This nation has the friendliest feeling for Peru, and the same feeling for Chile. Our interference in South Ameri ’ can affairs should be limited to in J terfering if powers from across the oceans try to seize South American territory. Outside of that we “ should leave it to the South Ameri « rans to settle South American mat * ters. In America we have money trav J cling in families, generation after * generation, the Astors, Vanderbilts, for instance. In England they seem to have, , here and there, mental power trav i eling in families hot for one or „ two generations only, but for cen , furies. Lord Salisbury is to succeed 1 Lord Curzon as government leader 'j in the house of commons. Salis » bury’s father was prime minister, l but rather old-fashioned. Salis ; bury’s cousin is Balfour, and bis brother is Lord Robert Cecil, one 1 of the most astute British states , men. Ability in this family runs all ■ the way back to the days of Queen a Elizabeth, who had Lord Burleigh, ancestor of the Cecils, doing her thinking for her. , They take statesmanship seritfus 1 ly'in England, where young men of wealth often devote themselves to * public affairs at an age when our young men of wealth devote them selves to Palm Beach, race horses and young ladies with emotional s temperaments. Tn the German election for prcs ! jdent no candidate got enough votes • to elect him, so another election is ? necessary. The vote was encour aging for the German people and for solid government. The repub lican party got 2,«00,000 more votes than Braun, the socialist can didate. The socialist candidate got twice as many votes as the centrist can didate and four times ns many votes as the communist. And I.udendorn, representing the war and the old methods, got only one-thirtieth of the votes cast for the republican candidate. In the next election a republican will be elected. (Opyrllht. 1f24.)
