Once there was a wealthy and suc
cessful villager whom his fellow
citizens did not denounce as the big
gest rascal in town.

Well, the conscientious objectors
have got the best of it again. They
have been let off from homesteading
any of the government's new land.

A Georgia senator, objecting to
woman suffrage, says Jesus did not
have any women among his disciples.
lie didn't have any senators, either.

A hopeless addict is a state like
Rhode Island, which keeps on voting
wet after there is no hope for booze.
or a city like Milwaukee, which keeps
on electing Victor Berger to con
gress.
:o: '
We are interested in the new cig
arette which carries its own matches
in the far end as we are always in
terested in anything that tastes dif
ferent from the common cigarette,
whether it tastes of sulphur or phos
phorous or even tobacco.
:o:
Clothing will take another hike in
price very shortly. A new supply
of wool from Australia has arrived in
Boston. The clothing business, of
course, is no different from'the sug
ar and coal business, and the bigger
the Bupply the higher the price.
:o:
It takes a long time to recover
from a world war. The map of Eur
ope is not defini(ely arranged yet.
and we doubt whether all the opera
singers who formerly prospered un
der German names will have satis
factory changes all made for several
months yet.
:o:
College professors who depose that
their salaries do not permit them
eggs for breakfast can't qualify as
martyrs without going into more de
tail. There are capitalists who miss
two nights at the movies to make up
for every time they have eggs for
breakfast.

The first thing Edward Bok did
after his retirement from the Ladies'
Home Journal was to reduce the rent
of six houses he owned in Merion.
Pa. Once more it appears unfortun
ate that so little rental property is
owned by magazine editors and news
paper men.
:o:
It is announced that no expense
nor effort will be spared in an effort
to communicate with Mars. We nev
er spare expenses on things of that
kind. It is on the useful projects
that we spare the expense, like good
roads, good transportation systems,
and good houses to rent to people to
live in.

Sir Aruthur Conan Doyle says
there will be both alcohol and to
bacco in the next world, which he
doesn't call heaven, but which we
conclude he regards as heaven, hav
ing mentioned alcohol and liquor, Sir
Aruthr doesn't seem to take any ac
Tount of prohibitionists in the next
world, evidently assuming that they
go somewhere else.

New York telephone girls are mar

Interesting problem from the Kan

plumber four times as long to get

an hour?"
:o:
Jess Willard who is in trouble with
a charge of stove wood profiteering
perhaps should take a change of
venue from Lawrence, where the
town almost to a man bet on him last
July. The question is, where can
Mr. Willard change to ?
:o:
The absolute height of foolishness
is when a fellow has just one war
time safety match left, and walks
two blocks to a place where lie can
get out of the wind to strike it. For
all things the wind has no interest
in, it is a war time safety match.
:o:
There are seven classes of pugi
lists, and Americans hold champion
ships in six of them. The seventh,
the flyweight class, is held by an
Englishman. The only reason Uncle
Sam doesn't hold that belt is that he
doesn't grow any fighters that small.

Somebody says: "What is an old
maid?" Correctly .-peaking she is a
bright woman anyw here from 25 to
40 years old, who is too mentally
gifted to tie herself to a scrub of a
man for his meagre board and few
clothes that she would get. And
she's growing in number every year.

SCIENCE AND SOCIETY
Dr. T. C. Lyster, chairman of the
Rockefeller Foundation yellow fever
commission, announces that yellow
fever will have been driven off the
earth in another five years. It is no
idle boast. Yellow fever has already
been driven off enough of the earth
to make certain that the job can be
made complete, if not in five years,
then in 10 or 20. This much has
been achieved in less than 20 years.
Let us consider how the work might
have been not done.
An appearance of yellow fever in
New Orleans might have aroused na
tional patriotism to a high pitch.
Meetings might have been held in all
cities where eloquent addresses were
delivered in opposition to yellow
fever. These would have been re-
ported in the newspapers and have
received warm approval.
The newspapers might have given
freely of their space for the fight.
most of them printing daily from one
to five editorials hotly denouncing
tho yellow fever. Chambers of com
mcrce might have joined in with
strong resolutions. Several candi
dates for president mignt have con
fined their speeches largely to pa
triotic appeals to put down yellow
fever. Persons afflicted with yel
low jaundice might have been mob
bed through being mistaken for
ad-ocates of yellow fever.
The compaign might have been
taken up in the schools. The chil
dren of New York state might have
been caused to sign pledges solemn
ly promising never to give aid or
encouragement to yellow fever. The
Spanish war veterans might have
made opposition to yellow fever their
particular function, seldom failing
at their meetings to adopt resolu
tions warning the country against
the disease and denouncing by name
persons suspected of favoring it.
Several prominent revivalists might
have made it the subject of sermons.
Many men might have proposed that
persons showing symptoms of yellow
fever should be hung on sight, while
the more humane wished to deport
them. The political campaign of
that year turned on the issue of
which candidates and parties were
most violently opposed to yellow
fever.
Now of course it wasn't done this
way. We know better. In the wilds
of Africa and among untamed tribes
of Indians and Chinamen they still
fight disease with vocal conjurations,
bass drums and the flaying of the
sick. We don't do it that way in
civilzed countries, not any more. No
headway was made against yellow
fever till scientists, by calm research,
found the cause. Then they went
after that mosquito with the fierce
ness which the circumstances war
ranted. Not that they spent time
making speeches against mosquitos
and running for office on anti-mos
quito platforms. That would have
been a waste of time. They found
out carefully how mosquitos live and
how they propagate, and from that
were able to contrive how to eradi
cate them. Cuba, Panama. New Or
leans and dozens of former yellow
fever centers are now as safe from
yellow fever as Lincoln or Omaha.
The way the scientists did not go
about exterminating yellow fever, the
tom-tom. cat-fit method described
above, is now applied in civilized
countries only to dealings with social
and political distemers. In view of
the fact that not so many conturies
ago we would have tackled yellow
fever in the same way, is too much
to hope that ultimately the modern
scientific methods used so efficiently
in the stamping out of yellow fever
will be applied with equal sanity and
equal effect to stamping out of, say.

ATTACKING THE SCHOOLS
There can be no doubht that pay
ing of lower wages to those engaged
in occupation which require 12 years'
work in the common schools and at
least four years in college, than is
paid Jo common labor is a blow at
education. Few young men will
spend 16 years of their lives at a
cost of several thousand dollars, if
Lney are to be paid less than the com
mon laborer, who at most passed
through the first eight grades, and
thousands of them less than that. Jt
is a shame that professors in the
higher schools are forced to consider
seriously the forming of a union to
get enough to support their families.
In speaking of this condition, the
Atlanta Constitution says:
"Repeatedly in these columns we
have cited Instances in which, school
room janitors were receiving higher
salaries than the teachers whom they
served; of colloge professors who are
paid less than carpenters and brick
layers; of high school teachers for
saking the class room for the bar
ber's chair in order to make a living
for themselves and families."
The Constitution says that a pro
fessor of history resigned from tho
faculty of a college. A month or
two after he received an offer from
another college at a salary of $1,600.
He replied thanking them for the
honor, but stated he could not ac
cept, for he had a job in a fruit store
where he got $2,500. Teachers are
retiring not only from the common
schools but from the college facul
ties. If long continued the result will
be disastrous. World-Herald.
:o:
A great deal of the dissatisfaction
in the country can be traced to the
general desire to prohibit somebody
else from doing the things that you
have not desire to do and kicking
when they start in to prohibit your
own tastes or habits.
Money talks nowadays, ajid what
is says sounds like "goodby.,'
:o:
We wouldn't be a bit surprised now
to see the anti-chewing gum reform
ers begin to get busy.
:o:
The era of illicit liquor and poison
bearing drinks coming rolling in with
the advent of prohibition.
:o:
The noble red' man wants it dis
tinctly understood that the bolshevik
is a red of another color.
. :o:
Red agitators ought to find Mexi
co a fertile field. The Mexicans are
crazy enough to try anything.
:o:
About two hundred literary men
have written "the truth about Rus
sia," and noboby seems to know it
yet.
:o:
It has always been a strange thing
to us why the father of twins isn't
twice as happy as father of just one
child.
-:o:-
Leave it to the Irish to mess up
the home rule proposition. They
are playing true to form in making
their cause unpopular with the world
at large.
-:o:-
It appears that the sudden end of
the coal strike left a lot of wood
profiteers up high in the air, and
now they can't even dispose of the
wood for more than $1.50 a stick.
:o:
The anti-strike provision of the
Cummins bill seems doomed to go by
the board as tho hoitse is very de
sirous of trimming out this feature
of the senate railroad bill. The op
position of the president to this por
tion of the bill is also operating
against it.
