TRUTH IN HISTORY.
During the week we published a letter from a
correspondent who in earnestness and sincerity de
manded "truth in history." He opens up a great field
for philosophical dincussion. What ii truth? Is it
what he believes, or what tome other believes, and
which may be diametrically opposite? Very recently
in congress the leader of the democratic party chal
lenged the accuracy of a statement given out by the
secretary of the treasury, saying it did not contain
facts. Within the week a man whose avenues for
information are greater than the ordinary declared
his profound distrust of governmental crop reports
and itatementa aa to the cost of living.
If such skepticism exists with regard to official
figures, on what basis must an historical fact rest
to be accepted?
Agreeing that substantial proof can be offered,
how does it help if the record be filled with trivialities
concerning the men whose names are recorded by
history because they contributed in some way to the
advancement of the cause of humanity? History,
cither in its narrative or philosophical form, is a
record of achievement on the broad field of human
life, not the account of the petty doings of a parish.
To be sure te latter are available for those who seek
such information, but they have no place in the
school;, where time is too valuable to be dissipated
in pursuit of inconseo.uential or useless information.
It is well enough to keep in mind that all states
men of all ages, no matter where or when, were but
men, possessed of the weaknesses of their kind, yet
it would be a waste of effort and time as well to
prove this admitted fact by presenting little details
of their undress doings. The important thing is to
show how they influenced their time, and how their
acts affected posterity. After this is established, if
opportunity presents or curiosity impels, the seeker
after knowledge may pursue the great man into his
privacy, and regale himself with small beer gossip.
An immense amount of such information is waiting
for any pne who wants to avail himself of it, with
the advantage that the reader may accept or reject
any or alFf it its his inclination may decide.
History in the schools must be of service, and
maybe that is the reason that the diary of Samuel
Pepys, Esq., of John Evelyn, or the Due de St. Simon,
to mention only a few gossipy chroniclers, never
have been adopted as text books in the common
s.hools.
A.DAY WITH THE NEIGHBORS.
Perhaps the most significant feature of President
Harding's Fourth of July celebration was that it was
spent with the neighbors. Only for a short time that
day was the president of the United States in evi
dence. After the dress parade was done and the
speaking had been finished, it was Warren G. Har
ding among old friends, men and women who had
known him from childhood. He shook hands and
swapped gossip with his intimates, he wrote an edi
torial for his paper, just such an one as he would
have written if he had remained its editor and never
have been called to the high place he filled, and in
other ways he enjoyed himself as a plain American
citizen.
This is one of the finest things about being an
American. We all regard high office with proper
respect, and honor the man who nils it; but, if he
amounts to anything at all, and has any hold on the
heart of the people, he remains always "Bill" or
"Teddy," and just one of us. Such a thought must
be a solace to the president, or to any other man in
responsible position.' When overloaded and sleepless
because of cares and perplexities of office, he can
reflect and get comfort from the thought that his
old friends are still "his friends, his neighbors are the
same, and in the old home town he will get a wel
come and the rest that comes with those homely oc
cupations that in themselves alone carry the content
that the life of the big world denies.
Warren G. Harding said that day he would be
happier when he could go back to Marion to stay.
The world may well believe that, for he is the sort
of man who can understand what value good neigh
bors are; and it is a distinct advantage to the world
that such a man is now president of' the United
States, guided by just such aspirations and seeking
to be of service to a troubled world through such in
fluences as he would exert if he were simply trying
to retain undisturbed the tranquility of his own
home town. "
TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
For more than 60 years Hiram M. Perkins has
been a professor of astronomy. For more than 60
years he has' skimped and saved and saved and
skimped. Little by little he accumulated a few thou
sand dollars and what i3 somewhat surprising for
a professor of astronomy he made fortunate in
vestments. Today he is 89 years old, and he is worth
$200,000. In a few years, if he lives, he will be al
most penniless. He is giving his fortune to build a
telescope at Ohio Wesleyan university which is to
be the third largest in the world.
Throughout a half century and more, this tele
scope has been Professor Perkin's goal, the dream of
his days and his nights. For it he has toiled and now
he is happy.
Foolish devotion to science, some one says. Pro
fessor Perkins will not admit it. He believes that the
study of the stars outclasses all others in teaching
the majesty and power of God and in inculcating
principles of true religion. Knowledge of the im
mensity of the universe, of the intricacies of its ar
rangement, demonstrates to Professor Perkins the
certainty of the existence of God, the omniscience
and omnipotence of Him.
And so he gives the accumulations of his life
that young men and wonen may be encouraged to
turn their thoughts from the petty struggles and
minor achievements of this little esrth to the great,
nets of the univsrte snd what to Profeor Per
kins' mind must certainly follow to the glory of
Him who guides its destiny.
NOTES ON EDUCATION.
At the sessions of the National Educational As
sociation at Boston last week the usual routine of
departmental discussions and general cxtrrines were
broken by at least two notable contributions. One
of these was from Secretary of State Hughes, who
dlwuited in his usual clear and vigorous manner the
.eneral subject One paragraph from his letter is
peculiarly pertinent. He wrote:
It la not likely that there will be lurk of op
portunity for vucutional education for the aort
uf training: which will fit mii and wumm tn earn
a living. The xlKncit vt our complex It are
ton apparent and the rnln too ubvloua to
admit of neglect; and we ahall have whatever vo.
rational or Urhnlral K'hoola are required. Hut
democracy inn not live on bread Alone, It l not
enough that on ahull be able to nrn a living, or
a good living. Thi I tha foundation hut not the
mructure. What Is needed la to have life more
abundantly.
From another who also gives evidence of being a
thinker, Richard Engstrom, the teachers also re
ceived advice, predicated on this statement:
The trouble with our public schools is that the
pedagoglo profaors who have never come In
direct contact with our !ndimtrlen, commerce or
political life make up the curriculum. Conae.
(lucntly, we try to toach the ornaments and play
things of life rather than the practical, absolutely
entrntlal rudiments of technical and bualneia
training which make for production. It la no
wonder we have ao many labor troubles and are
drifting toward radical soda I lam and chaos when
nobody la willing to work.
How is a teacher to chose between .the two sug
gestions? Mr. Hughes finds no place for "intellectual
vagrants," Mr. Engstrom decries the possible
dillentante. The one argues for the fuller life, the
other for the life more closely applied to the task of
production. Plainly, the time is drawing nearer when
the school master will have to, decide definitely if
production of wealth or securing of happiness is the
end of our civilization.
Comfort will be found in the concluding lines of
Mr. Hughes' contribution, wherein he says:
We must not forget the many schools of ex
perience. In one or more of which every American
must take his course, but what we have regarded
aa the American character, that which we delight
to praise aa the dominant American opinion be
cause of its clear, practical and Intelligent view
of affairs, has resulted from the Interaction of the
Influences of the colleges and universities on the
one hand and of these schools of experience on
the- other. We can not afford to do without
either. And the most pressing need of our day is
attention to the organization of American education.
Our schools of experience finally are the places in
which the soul of the citizen is proved, where his
theories are fused and welded into homogeniety, and
while they exist and men and women take the course,
willy nilly, our institutions are reasonably safe.
OPINION-
XVlial Editors Elsewhere Are Saying
Polar Exploration
Up to Date
AN IMMIGRANT AND HIS DOG.
President Harding has written a letter to Gov
ernor Sproul of Pennsylvania, beseeching the bat
ter's interference to prevent the execution of a dog
because its owner is an alien and the law of Penn
sylvania forbids an alien to own a dog!
How many thousands of people will sympathize
with this paragraph of the letter, in which the presi
dent once more showed how truly his heart beats with
that of the average citizen whom he serves:
I have tried to put myself, loving a good dog
as I do, in the position of this poor Immigrant,
and 1 know the perturbation that fills his soul.
I once had to have a dog killed that I greatly
loved and I recall it to this day as the sorest trial
of my life.
Further, the president added:
I have an abiding faith that the man Who
loves his dog to the extent that he will grieve tor
him has in him the qualities which will make him
a loyal citizen.
And, he might have added, what sort of a citizen
may he become if his understanding of free America
is to be that it is a country where a man may not
own a dog, where because of accident of birth his
dog is taken from him and killed? They may know
in Pennsylvania why such a law is on the statute
books, but we doubt it Yet it is but an extreme in
stance of much that alien immigrants face.
The typical immigrant's first impressions of
America are not fair, either to him or to his adopted
country. If he lands in New York, more than likely
he finds work in the most disagreeable tasks which
the metropolis can offer for his ignorance makes
him the prey of such. He likely lives in a crowded
squalid tenement. If he has business in the courts,
it may be an eviction for nonpayment of rent or it
may be a jail sentence for violating some law of
which he has never heard. In time he will live
through it, grow to knowsAmerica as it really is and
to balance some of the fine elements of its character
against -the evils.
We do not always put our best foot forward in
dealing with either these alien newcomers or our na
tive unfortunates. If we did, the going might not
be quite so rough at times.
WHAT WILL THE STRAW VOTE SHOW?
Ordinarily a "straw vote" doesn't mean anything.
People are careless enough when their votes really
fount, and usually manifest flippant indifference
when the purpose of voting is merely a test of senti
ment. We have had prohibition for three years, and
most men and women have had sufficient opportunity
to definitely make up their minds on the issue.
Often it has been asserted that if a secret ballot
could be had prohibition would be defeated. Such an
opportunity is now offered. The Literary Digest is
about to take a secret ballot on the greatest scale
ever known outside of a general election. Ten mil
lion voters will be asked to express an opinion as to
whether they favor the strict enforcement of the
Volstead act, whether they favor a modification of the
law, and whether they are in favor of a repeal of
prohibition.
Here is 'an opportunity for a genuine test of
America's private and deep-lying sentiment as to the
dry laws. It may be safe to assume in advance that,
no matter what the'outcome, neither the wets nor
the drys will accept the result as conclusive, but it
may afford a guide for the average American citizen,
and point the way to a solution of a problem that
puzzles a lot of common people.
Omaha will lose a tireless and effective worker in
all right causes when Rev. Charles E. Cobbey gives
up his pastorate here to take on the duties of presi
dent of Bethany college. Dr. Cobbey deserves the
high regard in which he is held, both in and out of his
church.
Los Angeles is to try sending speeders to the rock
pile. The only permanent cure is to send their cars
to the junk pile, which most of them eventually suc
ceed in doing.

he works.

Ideals have no occasion for pes

beauty and goodness may make one
pessimistic when one first discovers
vice, degradation, greed and Injustice
In life, but soon that discovery leads
one to realize that one must work
and fight for beauty, romance and

an enlightened "pragmatlst." One

is the essence of wisdom.
In the words of a recent writer in

Germany's Cold Gray Dawn.
From th New York Tlmn.
Dr. Rathenau's own remark about
Germany, quoted at his funeral cere
mony in the reichstag. is apposite to
the republic on the morrow of his
murder. It stands in the cold gray
dawn of the morning after. Respon
sibilities taken too lightly, newiy
won liberties guarded too carelessly,
have been imperiled. For more than
two years, since the failure of the
Kapp rising In March, 1920, the re
nublic has been carried along on a
wave of false confidence mhich has
subsided now that It is evident that
its enemies are as ready to attack
it by Individual assassination as by
mass risings.
The immediate reaction ha ad
mittedly been encouraging. The shock
has compelled those classes in Ger
many which sincerely believe in the
new government, or at any rate as
sincerely convinced of the hopeless
ness of the old ideas, to stand up and
be counted. There ij an epidemic of
sudden vigilance for the defense of
liberty threatened by reactionary
terrorism. ReDublicanism this week
has been active, not passive, and in
action is has shown itself much more
alive than might have been supposed.
This means" that the aristocratic
reactionary classes from which the
Impulse for the assassination pre

enough to seize the government.
They are, nowever, strong enougn.
to harass and weaken the govern
ment. The German republic has al
ways been open to bureaucratic,
military and plutocratic influences.
It should feel stronger now that dan
ger has manifested a wide popular
support; it may dare things soon
that it did not dare six months ago.
But it must do more Jhan dare; it
must achieve. It has been weak not
only because it was timid, but be
cause it lacKea commanaing intel
lects; and the chief of them placed
at its service has now been removed.
The form of republicanism seems
safer today in Germany than it has
ever been, but the loss or itatnenau

from within by capitalist forces
which may conceivably turn the new
government into a sort of veiled em

now.
Bootlegging at Sea.
From the Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Lasker claims that the wel
fare and nerhaps the life or the
American merchant marine depends
upon selling liquor on its vessels, we
may be right, but that Is not the
question here. The business or
many brewers, distillers and dealers
depended upon tne ngni to sen
liquor. Yet they were put out of
business with no thought of the con
sequences to them. If, on the plea
of the general welfare, they should
be made to suffer loss can the gov
ernment consistently do the very
thing it has forbidden them to do,
on the plea that "there's money in
it?"
What rieht has a government to
declare a certain act wicked and im
moral, prosecute and send men to
Jail for breaking the law which for
bids it and then do the very thing
itself, saying, when reproached with
inconsistency, "We need the money .'
It is a pitiful exhibition ror tnis great
government.
Notables Notably Absent.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The conference at The Hague Is
far less imDressive than was tne
Genoa gathering of which it is the
oretically the sequel or continuation.
The big men--of Europe sat about
the tables of Genoa. Lloyd George,
perhaps Europe's foremost politician,
dominated tne conrerence. ine ae
clsion of France to send men of
lesser note only emphasized the big
ness of the other delegates.
But no nation has sent its biggest
men to The Hague. Lloyd George
has left England's interests in charge
of men of comparatively little note.
Of all the names mentioned in The
Hague powwow perhaps that of Lit-
vinoff, the uoisnevist, is Dest Known.
Corresoonding the absence or real
leaders at The Hague is the general
lack of interest in the proceedings.
The world watched the Genoa ses
sions with intense eagerness. Lloyd
George's optimism was contagious,
and many expected definitely bene
ficial results. Those who were not
so hopeful did not hesitate to con
cede that the deliberations were of
high importance. Now no one seems
to expect much of anything. France's
attitude that nothing can be done to ,
bring the bolthevikl to terms has be
come the world's attitude.

Disarmament at Ilome.
From th Philadelphia I.Urr.
Might It not be welt for the pres
ent generation to take Into consid
eration the propriety and the exnedl
ency of a gradual disarmament at
home, as well as with respect to the
naval and military establishments?
The dally multiplication of crime's
or violence In which firearms and
other deadly weapons are employed,
not to mention the casualties which
attend the Innocent handling of
tnese tnings. certainly points to the
folly of making laws against the
carrying of concealed deadly weap
ons and then laying no restriction
whatever In the way of their acquire
ment.
vi course, tne remeov la not a
simple one. The experience of a
neighboring state which sought to
limit the power of the people to buy
revolvers and brought about the con
trary result of leavlne- the law-
abiding defenseless against well
armed crooks Is not encouraging so
far as Isolated attempts In this direc
tion are concerned. Nevertheless.
the average citizen has no use for
and no excuse for possessing the
high-powered rifles which have fig
ured recently In Industrial and other
conflicts. And the free and unre
stricted manufacture and sale of
deadly weapons is a practical contra
diction or The purpose or laws en
acted for the protection of the pub
He.
Strictly speaking, the military and
the police are the only ones Justified
in carrying such weapons. To all
others their possession should be. for
bidden or more closely regulated
And the first step towurd meeting
the admittedly difficult problem of
the armed outlaw and crook would
seem to be to make it still more dif
ficult for him to come Into posses
sion of guns and pistols. If, in addi
tion, the discovery of such weapons
in the possessions of persons arrested
were made prima facie evidence of a
felonious intent, we should at least
be nearer the remedy which every
one must admit Hs needed If we are
to continue to be ruled by law and
if our citizens are no longer to be
expected to do for themselves that
for which they pay the police and
other constituted authorities.
Recent Americans.
From the Boston Tranacrlpt.
Census figures Just now show that
38,398,958 Americans have recent
foreign .blood. This information
may prove truly appalling to the
earnest descendants of the "Ameri
can party" the good old hard
boiled Know-Nothings of the mid
nineteenth century but it will not
alarm the reflective sociologist. The
Know-Nothings of 1850 were them
selves, in that day. largely of "re
cent foreign blood." Many thou
sands of them were no more than
two generations away from the
British Isles or other foreign lands.
As the mixture and the Americani
zation had proceeded effectively up
to that time, it will probably proceed
quite safely in the future, especially
with the aid of reasonable restric
tive legislation.
The elements which are now com
bining are very much the same as
those, which produced the original
blend Nordic blood in the largest
proportion, with a dash of the Cel
tic, the Slavic and the Latin. It Is
this that we have now a noticeable
ingredient of what is supposed to
be the Semitic blood, which we did
not have when the American party
of the early or middle nineteenth
century agitated themselves about
the heavy European immigration,
but the best authorities on racial
origins assure us that this blood Is
not really Semitic at all, but essen
tially European. In any case the
danger from its not blending is
greater than it would be from Its
blending. A permanently separated
block of nonassimilable whites would
constitute a certain peril. But the
statistics of marriage show that the
blending is taking place rapidly.
Naturally no one has any assur
ance Just what the American of the
year 2000 will be like, but the prob
ability is very strong that he will
be as like the American of today as
two peas in a pod are like each
other, and this not only in his ap
pearance but in his ideals. It will
take more European millions than
ever yet have crossed the seas to
stamp out the Yankee notions.

Be Careful What You Wash
Your Child's Hair With
If you want to keep your child's
hair in good condition, be careful
what you wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tle, and is very harmful. Mulsified
cocoanut oil shampoo (which is
pure and entirely greasless), is much
better than anything else you can
use for shampooing, as tnis cant
possibly injure the hair.
Simply put two or three teaspoon-
ful3 of Mulsified in a cup or glass
with a little warm water, then
moisten the hair with water and rub
it in. It will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily, and removes

enough to last every one in the fam
ily for months. Be sure your drug
gist gives you Mulsified.
