1 Today ^ Out of Politics? Amen! I Iw ''No More" Club. Did She Burn Herself? Little Miss Nobnko. By ARTHUR BRISBANE. ^---/ The railroads, with their stocks Still climbing up on the stock ex change, say they want “the rail roads taken out of politics.” To that, if the railroads meant it, the public would say, “amen.” The roads have been in polities so long, ruling politics and offieehold .ers so long, that a change would be welcome. What the railroads mean is that they would like the outsiders in polities to let them alone, to take everything in sight, asking for and .getting anything they don’t see. This is harvest time for the rail roads, and, until some party conies along to disturb the happy dream, all will be well. | In time, however, the voters, V .when less prosperous times makes f1 ihinking necessary, will decide to •have a government running the rail roads, instead of railroads running Ithe government. This is not said unkindly, or by an agent of bolshevism. The writer has a few thousand shares of railroad stocks, a few hundred •thousands in railroad bonds. But it’s desirable for rmilroad men to realize that it is not going to he ■midsummer forever. There is cold iweather coming. -“ r A friend of John W. Davis says that he will not run for the presi dency again next time. That is probably true. i Davis and Cox, each beaten by a plurality of about seven millions, plight form a “We Ain’t Coin’ to ■Run No More” club. i __ ; Rabindratnath Tagore, Indian poet and patriot, dangerously ill in Buenos Aires,rwrote one thing that Vvill last. This is the story, short ened: A man knew that somewhere along the pebbly ocean shore, there was one pebble that a touch would change iron to gold. Hour after hour he walked, touching pebbles to the iron brace let on his wrist. But it did not change to gold. On he went, picking up pebbles, dropping them. As the sun was sinking, he looked down and saw that he wore a golden bracelet. He | had picked up the magic pebble, ' and it had done its work. But for a long time he had worked me chanically, ceasing to pay attention to the bracelet as he touched it. Which of the million* of pebbles behind him possessed the magic power? He could not tell. He had field it, had thrown it away. The fright was falling. It was too late to go back along the dark shore. His chance was gone. And he had held it in his hand. . ' There is a moral in that story for worker? that treat their jobs fpechanically, content “to get by.” SoOoner or later the chance comes. *■ He that fails to pay attention, passes the chance and loses it. The strange murder, or suicide, hi Ohio puzzles you. Mrs. Sheats fey is alleged to have yrayyled into the furnace in the cellar of her house, and, after carefully closing the furnace door behind her, she w supposed to have burned herself to death. And the door of that furnace is only 14 inches wide. Could a wo man with nothing to hold on to, pull herself in, then turn around on the blazing fire, pull the door shut, and settle down to burn up? it [ seems improlwble. Her husband, Rev. Dr. Sheatsley, suggests that the Hindu women sometimes burn themselves. So they do. But they do not crawl through a narrow furnace door, shut it behind them, and then in dulge in a “suttee” all alone. They usually have a crowd of relatives admiring them, as they burn with their husbands’ dead bodies, the relatives shouting to drown the poor widows’ cries. .t - — — The authorities say it looks like murder, but there is no clue. It offers a chance to some good re porter to make a reputation. How would it do to feed a little of that truth-compelling drug, “Sco ** palomin,” to all of those closely roncerned? Truth eould hurt only the guilty. A great criminal lawyer says: “No murderer could he convicted, if he knew enough to keep his, mouth shut.” Is that literally true? The little Japanese princess, Ne huko Kum, whose sister is the wife of J..pan’s prime regent, is now plain Miss Nehuko. She fell in love with a man below her rank, will marry him and give up her rank, after duly worshiping at the shrine of her ancestors and apologizng to them for her upusual conduct. ^ Pretty short poems will be writ ten about that by many Japanese girls, including, doubtless, several 4s it hi n the imperial palace. It's hard for us with our rank rhiefly financial and artificial to realize what such a romance means to Japan. American girls will not pity lit tle Nehuko so much, when they learn that shr has hern compelled to give up ’the royal head-dress, worn by women of the* imperial family for more than 1,000 years. Now she can wear* any kind of hat she likes. Baron Hayashi, Japan's ambassa dor to Great Britain, says tin" league must urge disarmament “cautiously.” The league is too young for complete disarmament 1 yet. he says. Japan is setting the ainnle in “disarming cautiously” if you call It that. While we American sim pletons scrap the Washington, on which we have spent $35,000,000, Japan is building many swift cruis < is for commerce destroyers. And k she has 17 factories working day and night, turning out flying mn chines, of which more than 00 per ccnf «r® for fighting. What country, President Cool » idge. do you suppose Japan has in mind as she builds those fighting planes? China, perhaps, or Korea, or Siam? Dr. Hofstaetter, Vienna gyne cologist, who ought to know about women, says that happy women rarely smoke. Once they get the habit of excessive smoking, they rarely stop. But they get the habif, sometime when they are very un happy. Hofstaetter is the man who says smoking makes women's faces masculine. It does, very mascu line, and it makes the moustache grow. Women rarely make complete fools of themselves unless they are unhappy, but smoking, unfortunate ly, increases among women because men, to be obligng, pretend to like it, because women think they look very pretty waving their lit tle cigarets gracefully, showing off arms and hands, and tippng back their head to blow smoke into the air. For older women, it matters lit tle. But young women, smoking, cheat their future children out of about 33 per cent of their chances. Human beings have steadily im proved because, until recently, they have had at least half a chance, on the mother's side. (Copyright, 1124.)

The I great Conquest by Cortez gave Mexico to I Spain; in 1821 the Mexicans gained their 1 independence. Mexico had twelve differ | ent Presidents during the two-year war 1 with the United States! I I Schools in Mexico The people of Mexico are about the most ignorant in the world; the reason for this being that only nineteen per cent of the popu lation can be classed as pure whites, while the balance of the peo ple are Indians or are mixed Indians and Spaniards. Then, too, there has been so many wars, revolutions and governmental trou ble that education exceDt military has hardly had a chance. The government, at times, has attempted to make education compulsory, but unsettled conditions have kept the law from being enforced. There are many pri mary schools partly maintained by the government. Very few of the Indians can see the value of education at all.
