Why CLmb Mount Everest?
From the Chicago News.
That man remains essentially a
child of adventure throughout the ex
periences of an aging civilization Is
shown once more by recently an
nounced, plans of certain English geo
graphers and other scientists to climb
Mount Everest.
Just why a man saould desire to
set foot on top of that ridge of rock
and snow 29,002 feet above the sea
may be inexplicable to the overprac
tical or the plodder. Corn cannot be
raised there, and if there is gold it
cannot be dug. It may be replied that
science will profit by the more exact
determination of the height of tho
mountain and by other possible deter
minations. But, after all, that is only
a genial ruse to cover the basic ro
manticism behind the effort. At bot
tom the reasons for the attempt are
probably not scientific or explorative
in the practical sense, but arise, rath
er, from the spirit of adventure that
persists in the human heart and mind.
Mormons to Fast for Europe.*
From the Springfield Republican.
A fast day throughout the Mormon
church was proclaimed by President
H. J. Grant and his counselors, in. Si®
half of The starving children of Eu
rope. All Mormons were advised to
go without two meals, “feel the the
pangs of hunger which millions of
little children are feeling in Europe
and contribute the price of two meals
to two big relief projects—the Near
East and European Relief.’*
“Years ago,” said a member of the
Mormon church, "when the early pi
oneers needed food, clothing or
money for charitable or other emer
gency purposes, when it could not be
raised in any other fashion, the spirit
ual fast day was made the vehicle of
accomplishing the desired end.”
How Errors Ctlng.
From the Kansas City Star.
One of the most curious little books,
or brochures ever published was one
with the fantastic title of “Pseudoxla
Epidemica.” which, perhaps, will betray
the~fact that ft could only have* been
written by that fantastic delver into ab
struse things, Sir Thomas Browne. He
might have called it “Common Er
rors,” for that is what he meant.
In the book Sir Thomas proceeds
gravely to deny the existence of “the
phoenix.” the “chlmaera” and the
“griffin,” and goes on to eipose such
fallacies as that man has one less rib
than a woman; that Mahomet's tomb is
suspended in midair; that a salamander
lives in the fire; that children, if left to
grow up by themselves, would natur
ally speak Hebrew; that Hanibal ate
his way through the Alps with vinegar;
that crystal i3 ice strongly congealed—
all of which were errors that were popu
larly believed in his time.
He took the philosophers to task for
accepting Aristotle’s assumption that a
pot full of ashes would hold as much
water as it would without the ashes—
Sir Thomas tried the experiment and
found it wouldn’t work. He exploded
many errors and superstitions in regard
to the loadstone—such as that a dia
mond would prevent its attraction, that
certain kinds would only work at niflht,
etc.
Some of the errors that Sir Thomas
combated persist to the present day,
such as thf.t a chameleon lives on air,
that a bear licks her cubs into shape,
that swans sing before they die, and
that a pigeon has no gall—the latter an
error that Shakespeare adopted, when
he made Hamlet says: “Can it be that
I am pigeon livered and lack gall to
make oppression bitter?”
“Just as Good.”
From the Indianapolis News.
The dally cabinet gossip, while it may
not have much substance, is at least
interesting. The latest report is that
Hoover is not to have a place in the
cabinet, bbut that he will get some
thing “just as good.” Thus it is that
the opponents of Mr. Hoover talk. They
Eeem to be laboring under a curious
misapprehension, namely, that the man
must be "taken care of.” Nothing, of
course, could be further from the truth
Whether he is a member of the cabinet,
chairman of a commission to reorganize
the executive departments of the gov
ernment, or a private citizen is, we im
agine, a matter of L Jifference to him.
The question is not one of providing for
Hoover, but of meeting the wishes of the
DCODle.

flfattonal Crop Improvement Ssrvles.J 1
TIE popular cry from our farmers j
is that food cannot be produced <
for less than it costs. Ibis 1
sounds all right at first, but how are
we going to know what food really .
•osta?
There are two reasons why farmers (
will have to keep JiookB. One is that (
when they demand that speculation be ,
eliminated and that they be paid cost
plus profit for their foodstuffs they will
have to keep ^ cost system just the c
’ same as other producers and factories f
mu6t do. Where one man will lose *
money at the market price another (
man will make a very satisfactory c
profit. This is something that the t
farmers must standardize. c
There is another great reason why t
>r.
armors will also keep books and that
i that the government will insist that
ost accounts of income and expense
oust be kept.
There is a standardized book now
vailable at the Agricultural College of
louth Dakota for this purpose, which
an bo had at cost. The other univer
ities are also furnishing books at a
cry nominal price.
All speculation is not done on the
xchany.es. If the farmer is holding his
rain tor a higher price he is specu
itir.g because the price may go lower,
•rganized speculation would seem to be
f great benefit to the farmer, who can
ell the trend of price for months to
omc, because the rules protect all par
ies to the transaction.
7V?e American Indian.
Trom the Boston Transcript.
It is quite evident, from the review of facts and circumstances in ths
t8th annual report of the Indian Rights association, that the American In
dian has not progressed so far on the road toward civilization and industrious
self-dependence that he needs no one to look after his interests. Quite the
reverse Is true. The surviving Indians, in relinquishfVig their tribal or com
munistic hold on the land, and in duo time gaining (as we say) the right to
Its independent ownership and disposition in fee simple, are in danger of be
ing dispossessed altogether, and being turned out on the world, like the non
reservation Indians of California, as vagrants and outcasts. They are no
match for the devices of the land speculator; they ure swindled out of their
petrimony every day. And what may happen to dispossessed, landless, un
tribed and unprotected Indians we may gather from the fate of these same
non-reservation Indians of California. When the United States, taking ad
vantage of the fact that these people had made no resistance, choused them
out of their reservations in 1850 and gave tlietr land to the whites, there were
in California 200,000 of the dispossessed Indians. They were turned out into
the sage brush to die, and they did die. At this day there are but 15,000 of
them left.
It is true that the Indian population of the United States is not now di
minishing. That population is 336,337. Of this number only 10,946 now live
in tepees or tents. Of the whole number 106,176 are church attendants; old
John Eliot, of Koxbury, would be glad to know this, though there is not one
in the whole number that can read his Bible. More remarkable still, of the
88,429 Indian children, 61,800 are in school. No more will the untutored In
dian be able to see God in the clouds and hear him In the wind; he must find
him in a book, as all the rest of us do. Happy progress! But there is an
other side to it. Out of the 336,337 Indians in Uje United Stales, it is esti
mated that 24,773 have tuberculosis. In moving out of his tepee into a house,
the poor Indian has found the doorstep of his new residence to be the thresh
old of the grave. And of the 83,429 Indian children of school age, 5,573 were
found to be ineligible for attendance on account of physical or mental de
fects and other causes.
Well, the present tendency of things, which is separating the Indian from
his old safeguards without providing him with new ones, is certainly being
accentuated by current legislation. An act conferring citizenship upon all
Indians has passed the House of Representatives and may pass the Senate.
It declares every Indian born within the territorial limits of the United
States to be a citizen and to be subject to the laws, both civil and criminal,
of the state in which he may reside. Thr-t law, in turning over to inexperi
enced Indians the full control of their estates, paves the way for the early
pauperization of very many of them. There are small reservations, allotted
to Individual Indians, nearly every acre of whose land has now passed to
white men. On the Quapaw reservation, in Oklahoma, the property of two
Indian allottees, Benjamin and See Saw Quapaw (wondrous names!) was
valued at $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. White men through connivance of corrupt
mixed bloods, secured control of the property of these helpless Indians, and
would have swindled them out of every cent's worth of it if the Indian de
partment's chief inspector had not intervened in time to save about $200,000
out of the $2,000,000 or $3,000,000. The lumber barons have possessed them
selves of the holdings of tho White Earth Chippewas in Minnesota. Ninety
per cent, of the lands of that reservation have passed out of the allottees’
ownership.

Death Warrant for G, C. L.
From the Boston Transcript.
On the grounds that it had exceeded
tts constitutional functions by delib
erately Inciting class warfare, a
French court has ordered the disso
lution of the general confederation of
labor, by far the most powerful of
French labor organizations. The dis
solution of the general confederation
j Of labor marks a clear cut victory for
the law and order policies of the gov
ernment. For the labor organization
whose dissolution has*now been or
dered was» the stronghold of radical
ism and syndicalism, the twin ene
mies. of the established social and po
litical order. Under the spelt of the
syndicalist cult, it has for many
months been seeking to sovietlze the
Industrial lifo of France. Its advo
cacy of violence and force in the rail
road strike of last May amazed and
terrified the bourgeois and conserva
tive France. In those hourj of na
UonaTemergency, thq general coyifed
erationi cf labor revealed Itscif, more
clearly perhaps titan ever befo^J?.' as
the uncompromising foe of the Insti
tutions ^republican France. Largely
as a result of the part it played in
the railroad strike of last May, its
dissolution was determined upon
many months ago by the government.
The Hove* Shortage.
From the Indianapolis News.
While It is probable that relief from
the house shortage must come, to a
large degTee, from Investment, that is,
the construction of buildings for rental
purposes, no Inconsiderable part of it
will com© from home builders, that la,
from people who want to own the hous
es in which they live. There is un
doubtedly a laige sum of money. In
total, invested In safe securities which
wijl be paid out for home building as ’
soon as the time Is regarded as propi
tious. Many people were about ready
to build for themselves when the rise
of prices began, and while they hesi
tated prices of commodities and labor
rapidly went higher until they were
compelled to give up the idea. > large
part of these people still have that
money waiting. Furthermore, not ail of
the people whose incomes were raised
enough by war conditions to enable
them to save money failed to do so. j
Many of them saved with home building :
in view, and they still have the money
ready for use whenever they thick that
they can build to advantage.
