Peace for a Weary World.
Most of our troubles never happen, so ttso
dread of he unknown is rarely justified. Just
now the world is coming out from the clouds of
strife and turmoil, and into a light where things
take on their true form and no longer appear
the grotesque exaggerated menaces as viewed
through the mists of uncertainty that surrounded
them a few months ago. Faster than is realized
the progress of events has operated to jostle the
surface at least of an upheaved society into some
thing like natural relations, and people are lay
ing aside their war-born apprehensions to again
"pusue their favorite phantoms."
Whether the new world is a better one, leading
on to progress for humanity, and making for
more stable if not for permanent peace, or
whether it is merely a truce between the warring
elements, preliminary to a renewal of the age
old clash of ideas and ambitions, is not so im
portant as is the fact that the pursuits of peace
dominate those of war once more. Politics, in
dustry, all the outlets for human energy are now
directed to the accomplishment of what at the
moment appears to be improvements. This is
encouraging, for man only sets about to better
the things that have served him wetf when lie
can do so quietly and without fear of having to
defend himself immediately. Civilization has
come to a stage where it can postpone the mak
ing of war better than any of its many occupa
tions otherwise. "
Philosophers and moralists agree that war
as not been banished beyond all possibility.
Evil still exists, and there are yet those who are
unwilling to be guided by the decision of the
majority. "Aggression grows from selfishness,
and that attribute of man still delays its disap
pearance. This unpleasant truth is more than
offset by the greater one that men are more mu
tually trustful, more inclined to patience and for
bearance than ever, and that even in the busiest
af moments have in mind their responsibility to
others alongside their demands for themselves.
Our national attitude is expressed in the re
mark of President Harding with regard to the
Soviets : "Whatever political , Conditions prevail
in Russia, American humanity will continue to
be American humanity.'? That is, we will give
ef our means to aid those in need, and not cease
because of the seeming ingratitude of those we
Iry to assist. Such an example will not fail to
Influence the world, and because" American genius
Is for peace, the tranquility all long for eventually
will come to prevail.
Dangers of Exaggeration.
This is a nervous age, Dr. Henry Van Dyke
told a crowd of students in Princeton university
rhap'el the other day. A period also of exag
geration, he held. "There is too great a tendency
on the part of some toward superstition," he
said. "The reverse side of this false coin is the
skepticism toward which the other part tends."
The quiet moderation in all things that the
ancient philosopher urged is indeed absent today.
One sees that in congress where denunciation
holds the floor. It is visible, too, in such efforts
as that at the Genoa conference, where the hope
was held out for a time of curing all the ills of
the Avorld at one dose. People are nervously
keyed up to expect great things, and when fail
ure comes their superstitious belief that things
will be easily set right is apt to turn to disbe
lief in all men and all things.
This is a time for faith faith in one' self and
one's fellows, neither overconfidence nor doubt.
The rewards of industry, thrift, thought and hon
esty are as sure today as ever they were. Quack
- remedies, social, economic or political, have not
gained any new efficacy. '
Mankind is . more intelligent today than at
any other age of the world. Its problems now
are no harder than those surmounted by past
generations, and should be more easily solved,
if the matter is approached in the proper manner.
Superstitious reverence of institutions may ham
per settlement, just as may undue skepticism. The
thing is for mankind to. adjust itself to its new
environment coolly, reasonably and without
prejudice or exaggeration.
Take a Personal Inventory.
- When by some turn of circumstance a mis
guided career - ends in catastrophe thoughtful
observers are apt to make a single comment:
"What could he have been thinking of?", ;
The answer need hardly be spoken; the vic
tim of his own misdeed was not thinking of any
thing. There is an old French taying, "In every
thing one must consider the end." To do this
one must look within himself, examining his ac
tions or his thoughts and tracing them to their
natural conclusions. . ' .
A young college student recently was ap
prehended on the charge of stealing automobiles
in which to take girl friends riding. If he had
indulged in a little wholesome self-examination
he very probably never would have embarked on
any such course. . . ..
The prls who rode with him have been iden
tified, and one of them has turned over the stu
dent' fraternity pin to the police- A little in
trospection on their part might have avoided
their embarrassment Now, friendless and alone,
the boy, if he has anything in him, will turn to
inspecting himself and inquire if it was worth
.Other young men might well take tn internal
Invsntary of thcmielvei in advance ef calamity.
The perils and discomforts of pretending to be
something more than one realty it deserve con
temptation. To spend money fatter than it eomti
in, or to associate with young women who de
mand cr expect excessive pleaturei it a fatal
thing. There are girls who will not associate
with a young man unlets he hat motor car and
who expect expensive gilts from their admirers.
Thry alio might do good to themselves and
others if they would for one moment look within.
Two Viewi of Lincoln.
Omaha had the pleasure last week of teeing
the John Drinkwater drama, founded on Abra
ham Lincoln, enacted by a company of very
competent players. We alto had the opportunity
of contrasting Mr. Drinkwater't conception of
the great president with that of Warren G. J lar
ding, as expressed in hit fine addrett at the
dedication of the Lincoln Memorial at, Wash
ington last Tuesday. ,
In making companions care should be taken
not to omit an understanding of the fundamental
difference in viewpoint of the two men. The
English poet looked upon Lincoln through the
eyes of inspiration; the American president re
gards him from the standpoint of a fellow citizen,
well acquainted with formt and condition! of
which the Englishman knows but little through
experience. This is natural, and accounts in
whole, perhaps, for the divergence; alto for the
reluctance with which the people of America ap
proach the Drinkwater portrayal of Lincoln.
The poet hat idealized hit characterization of
the man, clothing him with qualitiet he made no
pretense to possessing while alive. It it not easy
for one accustomed to the fixed and long estab
lished reactions of social life that prevail in a
country, like England, to realize the truth that a
man tame from the lowly station of Lincoln't
birth and boyhood, through vicissitudes of a life
that barely missed being that of savages, to the
high place he attained in the world, unless it was
by some manifestation of a higher power direct
ing his destiny. That thought is unescapabte
while listening to the Drinkwater lines.
Mr. Harding prefers to believe that
. . . . like Washington, Lincoln waa a
very natural human being, with the frailties
mixed with the virtues of humanity. There
are neither supermen nor demiRoda In the
government of kingdoms, empires or repub
Ilea. It will be better for our conception of
government and Ha institutions If we wllf
understand this fact.
If Americans only will understand that fact,
they will find their own faith in their own powers
strengthened and democracy made the more
worthy. Grateful as we must be to Mr. Drink
water for his fine portraiture of a great mart,
it is more comforting and encouraging to think
that Abraham Lincoln was a man, and that he
was the archetype of the common people, of
whom he once said God must have loved them
or He would not have made so many of them.
From Slate and Nation
An Unforgotten Hero.
A big load has been lifted from the mind of
one of America's heroes, Scrgt. Alvin York. The
mortgage on his farm in the Valley of the Three
Forks of the Wolf has been paid off. Between
drouth and deflation he was for a time brought
face to face with foreclosure.
- The story of this Tennessee mountaineer has
lately been told by Sam K. Cowan in a book
called "Sergeant York and His People." In all
biography it would be difficult to find a more
picturesque or inspiring account of a man hold
ing to his principles and standing by his people.
The mountaineers of the Cumberland are said
to be the purest Anglo-Saxons in America today.
In their customs, speech and manner of life they
are close to their ancestors, the American colon
ists. Marooned in their mountain fastnesses,
modernity has not found them. What overseas
service with its contact with new ways and
foreign people did for many country youths, it
did for Alvin York.
From hia father he gained physical bravery,
from his mother, moral courage. . The one
brought him back a hero, the other led him to
refuse to capitalize the homage of the people
and to refuse to go on the stage or lecture plat
form. The war had awakened his ambition, but
it was for his mountain race, not himself.
"Back again at his home," writes Mr. Cowan,
"he asked that the people give him no more
gifts, but instead contribute the. money to a
fund to build simple primary schools for the
children of the mountains who had no schools."
Out of his idea has sprung what is known as
the York Foundation, backed by many influential
people of the south. Sergeant York went out
into (he wortd, but he did not forget his own.
It is heartening to see that the nation also re
members and that his mountain farm is free
now from encumbrance. - - , . ,
" : Partners in Life.
"A marriage license is not a permanent meal
ticket and it is not a credit account at the dry
good store," says the marrying parson of Mary
land's gretna green. Neither, he advises, is a
wife a housekeeper, but she is rather a partner
in the business of life.
These observations are worth heeding. Many
marriages today are unsuccessful because duty
and obligation are thrust on one party instead
of being shared. ' Marriage should not be thought
of as a way out of this or that unfavorable con
dition, but of a way into the fuller opportunity
of life. :v"'.. -v ' ' ' ,JV.
The clinging vine type of woman is not pop-
Malar, either in fiction or life. The domineering
male holds his own in popular novels, but is far
from successful when he comes in contact with
a thoughtful, capable modern woman.: ,
. Matrimony has many commandments, and
love has many strange ways of manifesting it
self, but most important of alt is the idea of
partnership. ' .- ; "-' j ; ; ;
The underpinning of a great democratic cam
paign is slowly dissolving beneath the sunlight
of prosperity and the influence of demonstrated
truth. Unless some unexpected mishap befalls
the state, the brethren are in despair.
Every time a good rain falls on the crops
the size of the democratic vote is decreased. This
ia one of the disadvantages of basing political
campaign on calamity howling.
Senator Norris will find considerable support

la atntancing Jloratlo Bottomley, editor af
"John Hull." to aavan year Itnpriaunment, lit
court was merely confirming the opinion of Mr.
Uoltomley held by a large part Ot lha English
publio fur many year. Mr. Uottomley held
unique placa In Knglih politics. In a way. ha
waa really a man ot the people, lie ltkod the
race rounis. Nobody tn polltlie waa too formid
able for him to attack, and a bloody -head, now
and then, did not dstar htm. lie boasted of not
being a gentleman, therefore any weapon ha
happened to have at hand In a polities! right
availed him. In parliamentary debates, where
hla methods were more restricted than in jour
nalism, no man so enjoyed hitting below the
belt. And his admirers, being of tha mora
Ignorant class, ha played upon their hatreds,
enjoying both tha hate he expreNsed and Its
reaction upon the half-baked Intellects that were
hla following.
But Mr. Bottomley made the mistake of com
bining hit pleasure as an Irresponsible member
of parliament and an even more Irresponsible
Journalist with the busfnesa of Victory bond
clubs. Evidently the victims who thought they
were Investing In tha bonds ot the Hrltlsit gov
ernment were Investing merely In Mr. Uottom
lay, who, it transpired, was a highly speculative
institution. There were millions in the "Hot
tomley rlubs," where now there are but a few
thousands.
The passing of Horatio Bottomley from tha
atage of English public life will reuse no regret
In America. What Japan is to Hiram Johnson,
America was to Horatio Jtottomley, The puses

has survived as the fitter of the two.
Hurrah 'for Normalcy.
"From tlx Huapknr Nb I Dfamnt.
We are sure of getting back to normal con
ditions fast now, thank the good Lord, and first
thing we know we will have forgotten we ever
did get In bad because of wars and graft and
human selfishness. The best barometer ot pub
lie business and finance la the amount of Invest
ment being made, or not made, as the case may
be, and Investments now are beginning to take
on quite a boom. People who have had cold feet
and were afraid to Invest, because of uncer
tainty, unrest, and a vague feeling that It would
be better to wait a while and see whether we
ever did get out of the kinks or not, but now it
la different. They are getting over their fear
and Investments are being made as they have
not been for some years. Hundreds of millions
of dollars of money that haa been hiding out In
tin cans, stocking legs and saving banks are
now going into stocks and bonds, for new en
terprises of all kinds, and the natural conse
quences are that hundreds ot thousands of more
men are being. put to work on such enterprises.
Money is easy on the marketB and many
splendid investments are being offered and taken.
Probably never before in our history have so
many millions been seeking good Investments
as they are .right now, and all the money In
vested in stocks and bonds goes Immediately
into business enterprises and channels, gives
more work and creates more wealth. - Idle dol
lare are as bad as idle men they create noth
ing. Some of these millions are also going Into
foreign Investments, in the way of credits, and
this in turn stimulates our foreign trade and
makes' work for American Industries. And all
these dollars, whether invested at home or
abroad, contribute to the speedy return to nor
malcy and good times for us all.

Blgb Cost of Politics.
From th Wuh niton Foil
Compared to some state primary election
contests that have attracted national attention,
the cost of the Gifford Pinchot campaign ior the
gubernatorial nomination In Pennsylvania, $121,
705, does not seem excessive. However, it
doubtless has surprised many persons to learn
that Mr. Pinchot personally was put to an ex
pense of $93,562 in waging his fight, while his
wife's contribution of 129,500 brought the fam
ily campaign account to a total of $123,662, It
simply 8 hows the use of money in primary cam
paigns is not necessarily limited to the perpetu
ation of so-called reactionary control and the ad'
vancement of candidates backed by despised po
litical machines. Even the reformer appreciates
the power, of the dollar when strongly fortified
by Its kind, and without 'qualms adapts it to
practical use In the furtherance of his ambition
to, serve the pubic for the greater public weal.
But the successfully conducted Pinchot fight
against the republican state machine in Penn
sylvania also offers further proof that the direct
primary Is not a poor man's game. Mr. Pinchot
won by a narrow margin, considering the total
vote cast at the primary; had he not been a rich
man able to contribute liberally of his wealth
as well as hlB ardor for the cause and what he
believes to be better state government, he could
not in all probability have made his ideals pre
vail. His opponent in the gubernatorial nomin
ation race, Attorney General Alter, who had the
"organization" backing, filed a campaign expense
account amounting to the modest sum of $1,
131. SO. Had the latter had more money to con
tribute In his behalf, or had Mr. Pinchot met his
opponent on terms of financial equality well
the result, as hinted, might have been different.
Speeding Up Justice.
From th. NtUon.
Seventy-five per cent of the cases which now
clog the supreme court In New York City are
said to involve relatively small sums of money
and no important points of law. They are most
ly business disputes; Judge and jury are com
pelled to listen to the testimony of rival experts
and the wrangling of lawyers and then guess
which side comes nearest to telling the truth.
DisDUte after diSDute could be settled in a few
hours by conference out of court with the aid 1
of an arbitrator who knows the conditions in
the particular business in which the dispute
arises. Proceeding on the basis of these facts
the Arbitration society of America is setting up
a tribunal of arbitration to which disputants
may by common consent apply for disinterested
and expert arbitration.
An act of the New York legislature in 1920
legalized this sort of arbitration and gave the
arbitrators the right to subpoena witnesses. The
plans of the Arbitration society have beenVidely
endorsed by judges and lawyers and business
men. Twenty-four hours after publication of the
scheme twelve applications had been made to
the society. If it does nothing more, this un
common application of common sense will great
ly relieve the strain on the courts. We hope
that It will also give impetus to other attempts
to substitute social action through voluntary as
sociations for a too great dependence on In
dexible bureaucratic machinery.
K&llroad-Graded Highways.
ChsrlM Pien Burtoa In Htrper't Magazine.
"Modern paved roads which are superseding
macadam are built of concrete, or with brick
Or bituminous surfacing on a concrete base. In
the most expensive types the concrete is rein
forced with steel. The tendency of state engi
neering departments, moreover, is to build them
much as the modern, railroads are built with
low grades, few curves, and without grade cross
ings. Indeed, there is a close analogy between
railroad and highway developments. The rail
road, in pioneer days, like the highway, followed
the line of least resistance around or over hills
instead of through them. Within the past
twenty years, to secure greater economy of op
eration, railroads have spent millions In cutting
out curves and grades, which modern earth
moving machinery has made possible. More
and more will road building take the same
course. In the reconstruction of the Miller Trunk
highway leading from Duluth, Minn., into the
Mesaba Iron Range, now being paved with con
crete, 4,800 degrees of angle have been cut out
In sixty miles. This is an extreme case, prac
ticable only in an undeveloped country, but It
illustrates the tendency."
The Machine Wins.
From Fsns Xife.
Wayne Dinsmore, .ad of the Horse Associa
tion of America,, firmly expresses the belief that
power farming is a -costly delusion, and that
horses are inevitably more profitable than trac
tors. C. F. Clarkson, head of the Society of Auto
motive Engineers, on the other hand, declares
that the tractor of today makes possible better
crops at less cost. And he approves the recent
statement of a British engineer that "Just as the
motor vehicle in driving the horse from the
public roads, to will the motor tractor inevita
bly usurp the place of the horse on the major
ity of the arable farms of the world."
Each 'man, of course, says what He might be
expected to say. ' It is an endless debate be
tween the man of horses and tho man of ma
chines. The farmer Is the Judge between them.
He loves horses, but when he wants to go some
where he prefers the motor vehicle rather than
theJuggy. So In the end, the logic lies with the
marine, no matter wtiat the present argument

PREGNANCY'S DANGERS.
However we measure It, health Is
uejti'r. by long odds, than It waa a
generation ago. Hut when we call
the roll of the various groupa of peo
ple reaping these gains two bodies
full to answer "present." They are
women In the last month of preg
nancy and In the first month of
motherhood, and babies leas than 4
weeks old.
In liSO the Chicago Community
trurt made a aurvey of facilities for
prenatal rare In Chicago. What It
found and Ita recommendntlons
would apply In proportion to popu
lation In any other city.
The Met that Chicago, In common
with other parte of Illinois, Is otit-
Btae the hlrth registration area, add
ed to the difficulties of the investi
gation.
In Chicago It la estimated 67,000
batilcs are horn each year.
In 1920 S54 mothers died from
conditions Incident to childbirth a
rate of t.Z per 1. 000 births.
The death rate of colored women
from this group of causes was one
and one-half timea that of white
women.
Of the 67.000 women confined In
Chicago about 16.000 were cared for
bv mldwlvea and about 19,600 by
pnysinans.
Of this last group about 6.000 had
some prenatal care In the 28 phllan
throplc stations, clinlrs. dispensaries
and stations giving such care.
A consulting staff to this survey
laid down the following essentials
for prenatal care, which every preg
nant woman should have from her
physician, midwife, nurse or some
institution:
1. As soon as pregnancy Is sus
pected every woman should place
herself under competent care. -
2. She should pay a monthly visit
to her doctor or to her clinic up to
the seventh month, and then every
two weeks.
S. In the case of the clinic patient,
the social service nurse should visit,
the patient's home twice a month.
4. Examination of the prcgnantl
woman should embrace:
a. General physical.
. b. Local.
o. History of .previous diseases
and operations.
d. History of previous labors.
e. Blood pressure.
f. Urinalysis for sugar and albu
min; complete urinalysis In
certain cases.
g. Telvis measurements, as com
plete as possible.
h. Wasserman. if possible. .
5. After delivery the child and
mother should again visit the doctor
or clinic for observation.
The Chicago stations did not meas
ure up to these standards very well.
Of the 23 reporting only one marto
urinalysis for 100 per cent of its
patients. (The lowest only made such
analysis for 4 per cent of its patients.
The average number of urinalyses
for each woman ranged from 1 at;
one station to 4 at another.
Few of the stations made v asser-
mans. One made tnem tor i pec
cent of its patients. The next high
est had a record of 22 per cent.
There is no record In the table of
examinations for gonococci.
Three of the stations took the
blood pressure of all its women pa
tients, one or more times.
His Cure Is IJkcly.
A. L. B. writes: "Eighteen months
ago my husband went into a sanita
rium with all the symptoms or ad
vanced tuberculosis night sweats,
chills, temperature 101 to 103 every
afternoon, cough with expectoration,
losi of weight to 100 pounds.
"He has been home a year, leaving
the sanitarium with every sign of im
provement; and has been on the
mend ever since.
"Lives same as routine at the sani
tarium and takes plenty of eggs and
milk daily.
"Now weighs 140 pounds; expec
torates only slightly In morning and
coughs only after exertion. Has
normal temperature each day and
feels fine. . .
"1. Can his case -be arrested m
time?" .
"2. Can he be permanently cured .'
REPLY.
Speaking generally, the. answer Is
'Yes" to both questions.
Bright's Disease Likely.
L. S. writes: "What can be done
for a woman who has diabetes,
whose legs swell up. especially
around the ankles, so that she can
hardly walk?
"She has become very thin this
last year, which, I guess, is Caused
by diabetes. She is a woman in her
50s."
REPLY.
I expect she has Bright's disease
as well as diabetes. She should have
her physician examine her for that.
He may want to take salt out of her
diet and give her some medicine.
Contem poraryli (story
Krsm th. Ntw Turk TIihm.
Po people nowada read the ex
cellent Itollln'e "Ancient History," a
our great-grandfathera and great
grandmother used to doT Did they
read it aa a duty or aa a pleasure?
IMd they find the old annala of
"Pershee" and ,'.Med"" contempo
rary, as Ilunedelto Croce tells us
every "true history" tsf "If con
temporary history," he says, "sprints
straight from life, so does that his
tory which Is raited non-contemporary,
for It Is evident that only an
Interest In the life of the present
ran move one to Investigate past
facts. Therefore, this past fact does
not answer to a past Interest, but a
present Interest, In so far aa It la uni
fied with an Interest In the present
life." Hpenklng un philosophically,
that is, you are Intereated in what
you are Intereated In; a.nd history
becomee contemporary when it Is
made living and vivid:
Whether history be continuous, as
Mr. Freeman held, or discontinuous,
as Lord Acton seems to have held, we
like to regard it as neither contempo
rary nor non-ronteniporar'y, aa out
of time. Ko Gibbon's Interminable
procession of bis wigs looks, to some
eyes, George Trevrlyan compares
"The Decline and Kail" to a frlese.
A prep at a Tompelan election post
er, even a dip Into Kricd lander's
"Manners and Customs of the Ro
mans," gives one a more "contempo
rary" or temporal feeling, in such
a book aa "Mediaeval Contributions
to Modern Civilization." lectures by
experts of King's college of the Uni
versity of London, the reader Is not
infrequently struck by the anticipa
tion of later thoughts by some
medieval minds. Thus we are told,
on Lord Acton's authority, that "the
whig theory of the revolution may
be found In the work of St. Thomas
Aquinas." Marslglio of Padua, in
the early 14th century, worked out
the doctrines of "the sovereignty of
the nation, representative govern
govcrnment. the superiority of the
legislature over the executive, and
the liberty of conscience."
The most slngulnr precursor of
many modern theories and facts was
a Norman lawyer, Pierre du Bols,
author of a Latin pamphlet, "On the
Recovery of the Holy Land." a piece
of propaganda work for Philip the
Fair of France. Besides church dls
endowment and the supreme author
ity of the secular state, he urged
woman's enfranchisement and mixed
education, -and:
"International arbitration was to
decrease the horrors of war, and
educated women were to be sent to
the Holy Land In order to marry
and convert both the Saracens and
the priests of the orthodox church,
nnd also to become trained nurses
and teachers. The whole spirit of
the book is secular and modern.
Bishop Slubbs was wont to de
clare that everything was In it. in
cluding the new woman."
Of the Immense debt of the mod
erns to medieval literature, art. re
ligion, it would be "superfluous to
speak." The economic "contribu
tion" is curiously modern. An ideal-
izer of the middle ages like William
Morris found in them not only "folk
craftmanship" as the right condition
of' art, but the notion of fellowship

Fords Run 34 Miles
On Gallon Gasoline
Start Easy in Coldest Weather-
Other Cars Show Proportionate
Saving.
A new carburetor which cuts
down gasoline consumption of any
motor and reduces gasoline bills
from one-third to one-half is the
proud achievement of the Air-Friction
Carburetor Co., 1517 Madison
St., Dayton, Ohio. This remarkable
invention not only increases the
power of motors from 30 to 60 per
cent, but enables every one to run
slow on high gear. It also makes it
easy to start a Ford or any other
car in thje coldest weather. You can
use the very cheapest grade of
gasoline or half gasoline and half
kerosene" end still get more power
and more mileage than you now get
from the highest test gasoline. All
Ford owners can get as high as 34
miles to a gallon of gasoline. So
sure are the manufacturers of the
immense "saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send
it on 30 days' trial to every car
owner. As it can be put on or takon
off in a few minutes by anyone all
readers of this paper who want to
try it should send their name, ad
dress and make of car to the manu
facturers at once. They also want
local agents, to whom they offer
exceptionally large profits. Write
them today.
