Reminiscent pleasures of school and college life are revived by the preparations now going on in many families for the departure of young Students to their several institutions of learning. . While study is not to be regarded as inci dental, neither are the campus friendships usually lifelong nor the sports and various as sociations which give hard, honest mental work an enchanting background. ."'J"he increasing requirements, of successful life, rather than the influence of faculties, have ade university training a means, ratber than an end. College work is really -the acquiring and the sharpening of tools for usefui acrieverrjent when school days .arc. over. Efficiency is. 'ex pected, efficiency of a high order, from men who have college training. . , Nor should the sacrifices cf parents in order that their sonj'&nd daughters may be equipped with technical and classical and scientific educa tions, be forgotten by those Who are the bene ficiaries. There is a very real and loving obliga tion incurred by the youth who. is given these exceptional opportunities instead of being put to work at a trade or other employment. the end of September the editors of the country will give tip the chase of Cox vagaries and fall back on comparisons of the characteristics of the two candidates the careful, prudent, thoughtful and essentially honest convictions of Harding, and the flippant, reckless, unstudied and often contradictory assertions of Cox. There is a fundamental moral difference be tween the two men. Study their countenances and see it written on their faces. i American Youth and Athletics. No surprise is engendered by the fact that Americans piled up such a tremendous lead at the Olympic games, just finished at Antwerp. It might have been occasion for comment had t jtite1 result beeen otherwise. In the fact, how ever, "may be found something: worthy of serious attentions. A few years ago a general lamenta tion was sent up oyer the fact ;that our" young men were physically going back. The assertion had some foundation, but the trouble was not so deepseated as some of the debaters then pre tended to think. Physical education was being neglected, boys being left largely to their own devices in the matter of training themselves in athletics, yer the natural "enthusiasm of the youngsters for vigorous and healthy outdoor play was sufficient to keep alive the spirit of sport, and preserve at feast a few athletes worthy of the name. Along in the cldjsing years of the last century the ques tion was seriously taken up, and the big schools of the country began to realize that the training of the body was of as much real importance to the welfare of the race as the development of the mind. The physical director came to have a place on the faculty, and the impulse spread downward from the great universities through the smaller colleges and into the public schools, until now the muscles, bones and nerves get quite as much attention as does the brain. The nation was rewarded for this when four million young men were called on for the army; tV foldiers we sent to Europe shoved up on the battlefield sturdy and strong," splendid exam ples of vigorous, alert youth, not inured to hard ship, it is true, but endowed with such strength of mind and body, such quality of nerve and stamina, as,, enabled them to withstand the ter rible strain of modern campaigning and make a showing that astonished the world. The success won at Antwerp is but a repeti tion of experience at other Olympic contests. American boys are no longer looked upon as physical deficients, but truly represent the high est and most efficient manhood yet attained by the human race. As products of our free institu tions' they are an inspiration for the wfcrld. An other race may spring up to equal them, but it will .be from a land where a boy has as good ;i chance as he gets in America, and that does not exist, today. .. Gifts for a Young Wife. ! One must mingle with the younger genera tion to comprehend the changing standards of domestic life. Those things once the heart's desire of women have now lost their charm, we are told. While the proverbial route to a man's heart has not changed its roadbed, and good cooking is still the trademark of a desirable wife, yet anniversary expressions of a husband's, love are said to be changing form. j The new note is utility. This is exemplified by a story that comes to us from one who re cently visited a young couple while they dis- ,ussed their approaching anniversary. "I think hall get Ruth a necklace," the young hus ' band said. Ruth demurred. What then did she wish, was his query, with the suggestion.. of a diamond or a piece of mahogany furniture, or some other embellishment for the home. k. "If you really insist on a present," she said, , "I have always wanted an electric washer and a vacuum cleaner." This suggests the story of the negro bride groom -who, when the honeymoon waned, brought home a heavily mirrored dressing table and a washtub. "Now Mandy," he said, "you can siddown in front of this and watch yo'seL; starve to death, or you can use this tub and tarn yoVlivinV . Make It Two a Week. . ,J ' A month ago we predicted that Governor Cox would spring at least one wild story a week without foundation In fact. ' The average since then has been three a week. Many newspapers in America that seek to avoid the presentation of error to their readers, and. yet are compelled to'print the utterances of Governor ox as;iiews, have been busy explaining to ih'eir fiadersfthe unreliability of his campaign' talk. ' . ' ' V- We make now another prediction: Before "Harmony of Nations" and the Bolsheviki. . Omitting ror the' moment the devious and desperate argument of our esteemed democratic contemporary, which strives to bolster up the waning issue of the league of nations by a la bored reply to The Bee, let us briefly consider the closing paragraph: The Bee is right. We may in time be forced into the trouble. Bolshevism may engulf .Europe and reach out its bloody hands toward us. Then we will fight, for we will have to fight. Then it will not be 3 question of a-league covenant, or a re publican senate, but only a question of free men, with their backs to the wail, fighting an enemy that batters at the door of western civilization. - An enemy that might have been throttled at the outset had the nations, working harmoniously together, tfken the necessary preventive measures when the serpent first showed its head. What, may we ask, could a league of na tions have done that was not done by the allies "when the serpent first showed its head"? It is a matter of record that President Wilson not only dispatched a friendly commission to Russia, but his address to the Russian people was printed and posted" all over theempire, and this drew only derision from the bolshe vists, who had declared their intention of over throwing all existing governments, Milyukoff, Lvof, Rodzianki and their group fell; "Kerensky and Korniloff fell, and Lenine and Trotzky rose supreme. The economic blockade was en forced; Archangel and Vladivostok, the whole stretch of Russia and Siberia apart, were occu pied, and military pressure exerted in a "vain effort to save-Russia from 'the reds. "America, England Eraince, Italy, and siapan '-fo-pperated in. these, movements, and. to no. avail.;,;: . .;';,..'. , -In the recent affair of Poland, less: of agree ment' perhaps, has been noted. England sug gests one policy, France another.tand President Wilson- agrees with neither whole-heartedly. Could a League of Nations have done more, or accomplished less, in the way of stemming bolshevisml The truth is, the bolshevik idea recognizes no restraint, moral or physical. The very name means "all," the "whole hog" is the .popu lar translation of the word. It conveys the apotheosis of ignorance and brute force; it comprehends the destruction of civilization. Only the sour-brained or the sapheaded endorse rt.. Most remarkable, and deplorable, is the fact that it feeds on the "14 points," its shibboleth being "self-determination." It has its supporters in America, and they are not all "parlor bolshevists.". Any form of socialism tends inevitably to the Lenine atti tude, as naturally as water runs down hill. The League Of Nations is not its antidote. Only when the moral fiber of the people is restored to health, when the corroding effects of. a mis guided "international" mind have been removed, will this land be in position to successfully re sist the menace, of bplsbtvismy already "each' ing out its bloody hands toward us."'

The present senate of the UnitedStates con sists of 49 republicans and 46 democrats, there being one vacancy, due to the death of Senator Bahkhead of Alabama. Thirty-three members, are to be elected lot the new senate which comei in ort March 4, next year,- Conceding' that Alabama will elect two democrats, 31 seats are left for contest, 15 now held by republicans and 16 by democrats. Of the latter the republicans expect to gain seven. Senators are chosen by direct vofe of. the people, and may be said fairly to represent the majority sentiment in their respective- states. In 1918 the voters took control of the; senate from the democrats and gave it to the repub licans. This was done in face of a strong per sonal appeal from the president that he be given a congress which would . support him in. -his every act. Is it not reasonable, then, to say the senate truly represents, public opinion and rear sonably reflects the. popular sentiment -of the country? What reason is there to support the inference that all the political wisdom and sapience of statesmanship resides at the White House, all the patriotism and devotion to humanity spring ing from the executive chamber, while yonly chicanery, political duplicity and dsceit animate a majority of the. able men congregated at the Capitol? The senate of the United States con tains men as high-minded, as honest and as ca pable as any who ever sat in the president's chair: these are learned in the law, experienced in public affairs, and quite as patriotic as the president with whom they have dared to dis agree. The Constitution of the United States lays a solemn duty on the senate, and it vas the presi dent himself who deliberately ignored this fact. In opposing a dangerous experiment the sen ators have incurred the wrath of Woodrow Wil son and his purblind followers, but they have preserved the dignity and probity of their high office, and with it the: constitutional authority of the. legislative branch of our national gov ernment. V ' V the With the Treasury department sitting down on Cox and the State department rebuking RooseVelt, the democrats may be said to have their campaign auspiciously started. ! .

But he is, undoubtedly serious "when he says that he is mot interested in men, as "they are so much more difficult to understand than women." This has been our slight experience.

From Ponular Me chanic MJjzin FRENCH CONQUER DIPHTHERIA. 1 As a rule we "have it on the French in both the prevention and the cure of disease, but when it comes to hydrobhobia and diphtheria they, "have it on" us. Prior to the world war they had practically got rid' ot all their hydro phobia in both animals and men. The figures for diphtheria are much better than any we can furnish. The worst diphtheria record of the last 50 years is that of Berlin in 1833 200 deaths for each 100,000 living. The worst Paris record was 100 in 18S2. The worst rate since the use fo antitoxin was begun was the high point of the epidemic in 1901-1902. It was 27.7. The best record Paris has ever made was 6.4 in 1906. Havre had a record of 3 in 1908 and Utreoht reached 2.6 in the same year. Since the use of antitoxin began, the French rate always has been much under 20 and usually has been under 10. In Paris the largest num ber of eases in a single year during the last 25 years was 5,663. It fell year by year until it reached 1,460 in 1918. The miximum number of deaths was 724. In 1918 it was 131. In the old days in the Children's hospital in Paris more than half the cases of diphtheria died. Since the use of ' antitoxin never more than one-quarter have died, and In 1914 it was one-ninth of the cases of diph theria died. During the war, of the cases of diphtheria only one case In 50 died. Dr. Louis Martin estimates that diphtheria has been decreased just about nine-tenths in France since the use of antitoxin began. We can not claim as good a showing as that or anywhere near it. Among the reasons for the low death rate in , the army is the fact that - cases. areseen early and diag nosis is made before the disease gets much of a start. "' With us diagnosis is very slow and the disease is far advanced, in most "cases before anti toxin is given.. If the, . price of antitoxin and of rredlcal service In sore throat cases could be gotten down to very low figures we should be able to lower Our rate. Home treatment of sore throats is risky, because we never know in the early stages what cases are diphtheria-' ,;Ir. Louis Martin, who makes this . report, says the : French nearly will eliminate the other tenth of their fatalities by in jecting. large doses of antitoxin di rectly into the veins, at least, in the very severe cases. About Penny Swallowing. Mrs. AC. W. writes: "My 5-year-old girl swallowed a penny on Dec oration day, and the 25th day of June she became seriously sick with what the doctor called 'drug poison ing' of the entire system Could the penny she swallowed have produced the poisoning? My doctor said the penny could not have caused it. I cannot account for it in any other way." REPLY. I do not think so. Pennies are frequently swallowed without rec ord of harm of this kind.
