The Mental Clash With France.
Recent orcurrentcs force the admission that
there ire fundamental differences between the
manner, of thought of the French and the Amer
ican people. It does not suffice to dismiss this
consideration by saying that French statesmen
are misrepresenting., their countrymen: even
though this were so it would not prove i similar
ity of opinion or interests between the two races.
Overseas soldiers know better than most Ameri
cans that the divergence is not only in the way
of living but extends throughout the whole out
look on life.
"A dispassionate and unbiased recognition of
these constitutional differences must impose itself
and lead to a better reciprocal understanding be
tween the two countries," writes Dr. Henry
llaxo, professor of romance languages and liter
atures at the university of North Dakota. Dr.
Haxo, French born and bred, has the advantage
of intimate acquaintanceship with both peoples.
His recent article entitled, "The Critical Atti
tude of the French Mind," is most timely and
helpful. .He writes: '
The Frenchman's matter-of-fact education
may create in him a lack of credulity and
responsiveness qualities so often found among
our American boys and girls but it may also
work for his own advantage later in life. He
sees no greatness where there is novelty, or
most likely a fad. . . . He likes to do his
owi thinking independently. ... He is
ruspfcious and incredulous of learninganytliing
whether it be the sciences or arts and of ac
quiring anything, whether it be health or edu
cation in an amazingly short time and with
out serious efforts on his part. . . . Alone;
with this common sense are found other para
mount virtues, qualities or defects; love of
tradition, order, method, reason, thrift, indus
try, peace and family; distrust of imagination,
novelties, new ideas, uncommon ideals and
fanaticism; distrust of everything, so to say,
that is beyond the intellectual reach of the
general or average man.
A remark of Anatole France is quoted:. "Far
from feeling glad when I see some time-honored
fallacy exploded, I think of the new one that will
come and take its place and I ask myself this
anxious question will it not perhaps be more
inconvenient and dangerous than the other? On
full and .sufficient consideration, the old
prejudices are less baneful than the new; time,
by long usage, has given them a polish and made
them almost harmless." . With all his misgivings,
Anatole France has faith and hope in French
progress, but he, like the rest, faces the realities
of life. The people of France, Dr. Haxo declares,
fret at imperialistic dreams and military adven
tures and will find a way out of their present
difficulties by exercise of moderation and com
mon sense.
This observer contrasts the critical French
attitude -with the more hopeful, active, undoubt
ing and generous American characteristics. Here
is youth and its dreams, there, old age and its
caution. That there is something cold, antagon
istic and jarring to the "free and individualistic
expansion and communicativeness of the Amer
ican character," Dr. Haxo admits. The sooner
these differences are appreciated and thrashed
out impartially and sympathetically, the better.
He is sure there need be no cause for friction
or a feeling of inferiority on either side, and
many on-both shores of the Atlantic will agree
that a blending of the two attitudes might im
prove both races. v
Thawing Out a Quarrel.
The criticisms now being cast at Vilhjalmur
jV Stcfansson by his former companions in Arctic
' exploration bring to mind the statement of the
i shipwrecked sailor who wandered in fear on a
savage coast until he heard men swearing, where
upon he rejoiced, saying that he had fallen
among Giristians. There was none of this
squabbling on the polar ice, and it is eight years
sftcr the return to civilization that the quarrel is
loosed.
Perhaps Stefansson has been making some
.' rather tall statements in his lectures. His claim
that he was able to subsist on 'the country' and
not depend on supplies brought in from outside
is a target for suspicion. Yet this is no more
than the Eskimos' succeed in doing with their
bone bows and. arrows, relics of the stone age.
What is quite possible is that the other members
of the party did not find the diet sufficiently
tasty, however nourishing it may have been.
In one of his books, "My Life with the
. v Eskimo," this ethnologist describes a meal with
the natives of Union straits. The motherly wife
of a hunter had prepared a seal's fore leg for him
and a second course consisting of soup from
seal blood. There is no question but that
through his ability to mix with the natives and
to live, not in the comparative comfort and style
of other northern explorers, but as his Icelandic
blood made possible, Stefansson learned much
" more of the Arctic rezion and its people than
any previous expedition. He is an anthropoid-
fiat, tuintd Scientist and moreover, writer

Making die Most of Life.
A general lumming up of life by philoopl:era,
poets, preacheri or even rynin, uully contain!
the proposition that rich age hat ilt coinpeina
tioni, and that the mental attitude flungcs i
cspcrience accumulates and man's phytkal fanil
ties undergo the gradual disintegration that lead
to dissolution. This may be true, for it serin, tu
ret on the artuat trial of life over a long uc
ceiiion of generations, and is in accord with the
inevitable cycle, which require! that each nun',
son begin where he began, not where he left off.
It doea not take into consideration, however, that
at each stage of existence man niics much that
he might enjoy, simply because he goei in pur
suit of mythical things, rather than holding to
safe and solid inheritances.
Xo intention is here contained of laying down
a hard and fast rule for guidance; it it both dif
ficult and dangerous to undertake to let up
standards, for man has ever been intractable and
of a mind to wander away from well defined
paths. It is the tendency to diverge that hat
baffled and at the same time delighted biologists,
who have found nature careful of the type, while
careless of the single life, yet charitable and
hospitable to the single life when it once sets up
business for itself and establishes its right to
exist In fact, the good old lady then adopts the
divergent as a new type, and propagates it with
utmost care until anotner individualistic member
of the group sets off on a new tangent. Were
this not so, the pithecanthropus might never have
attained his distinctive title of erectus, nor, in
fact, would animated creation have journeyed
far beyond the amoebae. Types breed true, but
the everlasting ferment continually inspires the
effort to get away from type, and into a newer
and perhaps a better state.
When this lesson from nature's open book is
conned and understood, mankind will come
nearer to the realization of what life really con
tains. From the beginning of responsible days
to the end, it is a continual succession of op
portunities. Each day provides its chances as
as well as its duties. Only those who are sub
merged in the morass of routine lose the glorious
prospects that come with each rising of the sun.
Do the drudgery, for it must be .done; that phase
of life is inexorable, but' do not let the press of
routine close in on you to the end that the real
vista of life is narrowed and vision disappears in
a schedule of things that are to be attended to
each day, and which become in time a montonous
repetition of littlo acts. Some of the greatest
things ever done for humanity have been done
by those who spent the greater part of their lives
in the treadmill only they did not think of it
as that. They were at the task appointed -for
them to do, but they did not let it so completely
absorb them as to destroy the tendency to di
verge. '
No Jazr at the Wedding.
"A Voice That Breathed O'er Eden" may get
by, and perhaps "Oh, Promise Me," but this "I-Love-You-Dearly"
stuff has got to be stopped.
That's alt there is to it. Bishop Shayler sensibly
enough says if they didn't love each other
dearly they would not be approaching the altar.
His church has too high regard for the marriage
ceremony, which it esteems as a sacrament, to
allow it to be lightened by the introduction of
frivolous modern melodies that pass for music.
"Here Comes the Bride, All Dressed in White,"
which almost has the sanctity of tradition, will
be accepted', but that is one trouble with it. So
many thousands of brides have slow-stepped
down the aisle, with papa doing contortions to
hold even his sedate tread down to the ma
jestically slow tempo of Mendelssohn's march
that most of the girls are weary of it and want
something else. Then, it does not -comport with
the modern spirit. Marriage in those days was
a matter of courtship and engagement, and other
ceremonious procaedings, in which the young
folks took time to think it over and realize iu
some degree the responsibilities they were as
suming. Nowadays it out-jazzes jazz; it is "Let's
got" until the minister says the last word, and
then, too frequently, ""it is "Where do we go from
here?" And so they jazr up to "the altar, and
away ffom it, and into the divorce court and out
again, and keep the. society editors busy card
indexing folks that they may not get them mixed
in writing up doings. Perhaps if Bishop Shayler
will go a little further, and get a little of the
jazz cut out of the preliminaries, he will not have
much "trouble in eliminating it when the con
tracting parties get ready to start that always
impressive march down the aisle to the chancel
rail. ,
Cut Out the Munitions Traffic.
Private traffic in firearms receives another
blow in the revelation that African slave traders
are depending for their weapons on American
munition plants. The French, Italian and Brit
ish governments, through the desire to maintain
peace in Africa, are under an agreement not to
allow arms to be sent from their countries to the
Abyssinians. With no such pledge asked or
given from America, a supply of automatic rifles
has been sent from here.
Abyssinia technically is one of the two inde
pendent states of the African continent. That
it has not been gobbled up by one of the powers
is only because none would consent to another
having it. There is nothing particularly moral
about their agreement to withhhold arms from
the natives, as all will realize who remember the
disastrous, defeat inflicted upon the Italian army
by these same people.. V -
, In spite of all questions of foreign policy,
America ought not countenance the sale of guns
and cartridges in whatever spot of the globe and
for whatever purpose they are desired. If a
man wants a gun or a thousand guns, it should
first be ascertained what he intends to do with
them. One of the sore points in American rela
tions with Germany, it will be remembered, was
the sale of German munitions to the Mexicans.
The arms trade is a breeder of trouble"., If
the League of Nations haa' been what it pre
tended to be, a means of insuring peace, it would
hare taken hold of this problem and settled it
The people of the civilized nations are ready for
the public control of the traffic in arms. Here
I is a olace where Uncle Sam can lead the way.

member of "the mwt liberated body
In the world" and the governor to
whom the credit for thie remarkable
appointment Is due. All this the
diepntchea from Washington have
set forth.
Tn there extraordinary olrcum
stanrea can he doululees detected
the shadow of events to come. If
the treaties of 'Washington com
mend themselves to the sympathy
and support of Senator Pepper,
either In the form that they will
be submitted by the executive, or in
the form that they will be reported
to tho senate from the committee
or foreign relations, his own power
of convincing eloquence will doubt
less qualify the new senator as
junior counsel for the defense of
tho American delegation on the floor
of the senate and before the bar of
American public opinion. Like the
lato Senator Knox. Mr. PeuDor en-
Joys.the confidence and the acquaint
anceship of senators on botn sides
of the aisle and of both tho conser
vative and radical schools of thought.
As an nccommodator of uifferances
of opinion he enjoys a widfl reputa
tion. During the crusade against the
iniquities in general of th9 treaty
of Versailles and the follies In nar-
tlrular of its entangled and entan
gling covenant, Mr. Pepper was the
most eloquent spokesman outside
the senate of the forces of straight
Americanism, the most effective de
fender of the orderly development of
American foreign policy In the spirit
of traditional American . fundamen
tals, and the most confounding
critic of the attempt at Paris to rele
gate to the dump heap of the old
world diplomacy the policy of Wash
ington and tho doctrine of Monroe.
He helped to finance and accepted
the vice presidency, of the league
for the preservation of American
independence, and stumped the
country against the league of na
tions. As a conciliator he stood be
tween the strong reservationists and
the irreconcilables, and retained the
sympathy and respect of both.
Unless we mistake tho manner of
the man, misunderstand his habits
and thought and appraise too highly
the quality of his courage and the
power of his vision, Senator Pepper
will not make the mistake of a cer
tain Chamber of Commerce and
issue a blanket endorsement of the
work of the conference before the
conference has completed its work
and before he has had a chance to
examine with the care and comoe-
tency of a constitutional lawyer all
the treaties now under negotiation.
Jt is probably safe to say that Sena
tor Pepper is not troubled by any
attack that has yet been made upon
the four-power treaty on the ground,
that Article II of that agreement
Is In any sense an imitation of Arti
cle X of the Versailles covenant.
Senator Pepper can be trusted, we
think, to see very clearly, and to ex
pound as clearly, that the contrast
bebtween the two articles is "the
contrast between an undertaking to
talk tisfnga over (which is the case
of Article II), and an undertaking
to act without talking things over,"
which is the case of Article X.
It is, however, inconceivable that
Senator Tepper can be counted upon
to serve any delegation at any con
ference as counsel for Its defense
unless the work of that delegation
can be squared with the spirit of
the best traditions of American diplo
macy. For in the lexicon of the
new senator from Pennsylvania
American diplomacy is synonymous
with American defense. For this
reason it would seem to be necessary
for the treaties of Washington to
be interpreted to the senate in terms
that will be highly displeasing to the
pacifist bloc in both houses of con
gress, if these international agree
ments are to receive the support.
in and out of the senate, of the
logical successor of Senator Knox.
For Senator Pepper is not only
a graduate of the first Plattsburg
camp, but an ardent advocatf of
training with the colors for national
citizenship. He left the republican
party in 1912 and stumped the coun
try in support of Roosevelt; he is
a strong believer in an adequate
American navy; a defender of the
Philippine policy of MeKinley.
Roosevelt and Taft, and he was a
supporter of Leonard Wood for the
presidency in 1920. It was upon his
motion, as a member of the board
of trustees of the University of Penn
sylvania that Gen. Wood was elected
to head that institution, and to his
influence in the board is chiefly due
its grant of a year's leave of ab
sence to Gen. Wood in order that
the general might accept temporar
ily the governor generalship of our
far eastern frontier.
Unless Senator Pepper reverses his
record on public questions now to
the fore he cannot qualify in or out
of the senate as junior counsel for
the defense of the conference of
Washington unless its treaties are to
mark the resumption of the foreign
military and naval policies identified
with the presidency of Roosevelt
policies based upon the good old
fashioned American principle of dis
interested friendship with all na
tionsof good will, but entangling
alliances, secret understandings and
special relationships with none. The
hope, therefore, held out from
Washington that Senator Pepper is
to be put forward as a defender of
flow to Keep Well

There Are Reasons
Why Printers Resist
Attempts to Destroy
Their Union
Here's One:
Before the craft was organized printers worked
12 hours daily in insanitary workrooms and lived to an
average age of 28 years.
After organizing, shortening hours to 10 and mak
ing some attempt at sanitation the average age
jumped to 35.
After introduction of the 8-hour day and the union's
fight on tuberculosis was under way the age increased
to 41.25 in 1900.
Since 1900, according to official statistics on file
with the International Typographical Union, the figure
has steadily risen until last year showed the average
age of printers at death to be 53.17 years.
Wouldn 't you fight to add that
many years to the lives of &0, 000
men including yourself ?
Printers' lives still fall nine years short of the age
of the Americans in other occupations. They wish to
be permitted to carry on their battle with the Grim
Reaper until they stand on a par with their fellows.
Omaha printer in commercial (hops were locked out
for rafutal to surrender their union memberthip. They
wera willing to work forty-four hour for forty-four
hours pay meaning reduction of $3.50 a week but
were given no opportunity to negotiate.
