Today “Heaven Wide Open." She Defines True Love. Dempsey's Chopping Block. Making Nations Hate Us. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE J Jane Addams, ill in Japan, mast undergo a serious operation. This is alarming news for millions that know the work Miss Addams has done and the example she has set before the world—even more valu able than her work. Max Hart, Chicago, lunching with his brother Harry, said Tues day, “Everybody hopes Miss Ad dams will live to be a hundred. But you should republish the ar ticle you wrote about her many years ago.” I remember the last lines. They were: “Lucky the man who dies on the day of Jane Addams death. The doors of heaven, on that day, will open so wide that all may enter.” If pure goodness, unselfishness and devotion count in heaven, as we believe they do, Jane Addams will have a seat in front of Washing ton, Jefferson and many others, and very likely next to Lincoln. An exact definition is precious emotion, especially a definition of love, that complicated thing. Miss Peggy Joyce, whose career of in tense romance is known to all that read the big headlines, has sup plied the definition. She is the young lady well described as ‘‘easy on the eyes.” “I don’t want money but love, the great, grand understanding kind of love.” This being the case with Miss Joyce, you will not be surprised to hear that she has decided, if pos sible, to marry Mr. Lou Tellegen, until lately the property of Miss Geraldine Farrar. Miss Joyce described love, with a capital “L” dressed in a cherry crepe gown, with cherry sport hat and cherry sport shoes to match. A diamond necklace, looking, the reporter said, like large cracked ice, was worn in memory for her second husband. Other jewels, also diamonds, in memory of the fourth. One and three were not represented. Heloise didn’t begin to understand love or style, as Peggy Joyce understands both. As for Abelard, he would be only “at mosphero” in a Lou Tellegen pic ture. They found a “chopping block’’ for Mr. Jack Dempsey, a certain 'iant, Ben Wray of Oklahoma. Mr. iVray is seven feet, two inches all, heavy in proportion. Dempsey knocked him senseless in 30 sec onds. There was great admiration in the crowd, for such “science.” An orang-outang four feet high, in the featherweight class, could knock Dempsey senseless in three seconds and Dempsey would never come back to consciousness. We call that “brute strength.” The ships come sailing in loaded with liquor. Uncle Sam says that the next step may be confiscation of the ship. The law allows it. England is outraged at the sugges tion. But when a German ship ear ned contraband liquor that had paid no British taxes into the Brit ish three-mile limit, that shop was seised, heavily fined and its cargo confiscated. There is a theory across the ocean that England and some other countries may do . things that the United States mustn't do. It’s an inaccurate theory. We own the waters within three miles of our coast.. Those waters are a part of our national home and the nation has a right to de > ide what may enter its house. Nevertheless it is impolite and im politic unwise to unite all £he na tions in thoroughly justified pro test. and in just dislike of us. What they do or drink at *eo does not interfere with our pro hibition any more than Turkis! polygamy interferes with oui virtue. The president should find a way out of this foolish situation If the idea is to help our shipping which must be dry, then makinj this nation ridiculous is too big i price to pay for doubtful help. President Harding says that ir the next war dollars at well at men will be drafted. John M. Baer, cartoonist, who used to b( farmer-congressman from Nortl Dakota, publishes in the soldiers' paper, “Stars and Stripes,” a cartoon asking the president why he doesn’t conscript a few dollar* now to pay the soldiers’ part of what they lost in the great war? It’s a timely question. The presi dent’s reply would be that he be lieves the soldiers bonus will pass without any doubt, at the begin ning of the next congress.
