ARMY MAN FOR THE SENATE
•’ Colonel John Parker U. S. Army
row In command at Jefferson Bar-
racks St. Louis Mo. is said to have
declared that he will be a candidate
for the republican nomination for
the United States senate from that
ttate Missouri happening to be his
home state. Colonel Parker will bo
one of the few army officers that
have been known to leave their
thosen profession to enter political
life. Usually men who become army
officers remain true to their choice
and spend the active years of their
lives in the military service. While
tl is is doubtless pood for the army
nnd so pood for the country—for
nowh re do we require men of in-
telligence and education and proper
1rj:ining more than in the army—
yet it doubtless has deprived the
« mntrv of the services which many
t ich men might have rendered in
^ uhlie life. Usually our army of-
f;cers are men of a fine type and
the country loses them as an asset
in its pub!»e service in its commerc-
ial development or in other lines of
rational progress through their de-
votion to the military service.

why the high tariff must he made so
high.

According to Sir Arthur Conan

LEARNED REPORTER
t Wiimna. Fla. lie raid)
It has long been doubtful bether
newspaper work should no classified as
a trade or a profession. Now the whole
problem is settled without any trouble
on the part of the group coneerned. The
T’nited States (tovertiiiier. . acting
through its immigration authorities in
deciding the eligibility of a t'anuduti re-
porter to enter the country has desg-
nated the aforesaid rep. rter as a ‘•mem-
ber of a learned profession.” and thus
in or. way affected by the contract la-
bor law. Kverybody in tin* newspaper
game accordingly helves u sigh of relief
and puff* out his chest. From editor-
in-chief to newest news-chaser all nre
members of professions comparable with
medicine law and ministry if they care
to i laim the comparison. And nobody
need wonder any day to hear a news-
gatherer referred to as the ‘learned
reporter.**
A SLEEPING GIANT STIRS
(Houston Chronicle)
importance of tie* Chinese revolution
i« to l>e measured by its rousing effect
on the people. There are 400.000.000
of them. Thu* far their power has
been latent rather than expressed.
China has failed to advance nd
through l«i k of intellect hut because
of n willfully assumed attitude. Her
policies whether domestic or foreign
have been cortTpuindcd of ancestor wor-
ship nud self-sal iaf art ion.
Site is the quintosoencc of smugness
abnormally delighted with her ways nnd
institutions. Those who attribute her
corilition to ignorance or lack of rapa-
city. miss the mark.
Khe is not as she js because of na-
tural limitations but because she will-
ed it. lb*r eyes never have been bliiM
but be has stubbornly and intentionally
kept them closed.
If. and whenever. China chooses to
pursue a different course she can he
ch ponded i n to pursue it just as suc-
cessfully. The most conspicuous trait
of t er character i- stick-to-itireness.
The present revolution has done more
to (mis her attention on modern meth-
ods and inventions than anything oc-
curring in the past thousand years.
When ni'*ii fight they grab the most cf-
fectlve weajmns available. That is what
China is doing.

ments Occidental laities. Occidental

factions are at it as a matter of life

w:ns. «r wl;**n the float' ends Chinn
will be more thoroughly impressed with
Western ways and Western contrivan-
ces than ever before.
To put it roughly she is jazzing hcr-
s. if up for war. but the tui|»ortaiit thing
is that she is jazzing herself up. When
the turmoil is over she will have a much
o'earer idea • f her power but especial-
ly if expressed in Occidental terms.
VICE PRESIDENTS
(New York World)
Tt is pr> ;*>sod to rename some of the
larger vessels controlled by the Ship-
ping Hoard. At present these vessels
bear the nickname of some of the Slut-
's. This is objected to ns infringing
their dignity the dignity of the Slates
that is. So i? is suggested (hat fb'*ss
vessels be renamed after aome of the
Presidents Would it not he better t'*
rename them after some of the Vice-
Presidents? This could hardly he ob-
jei te l to as undignified and it would bo
far mere educational. The nntmu of a
good many of the Hre«i 1. nts arc fairly
familiar hut who knows the names of
half a dozen Vice President* with the
exception of the four- if was four
wasn't it ? -who became President upon
the death of their chief? We cannot
think at this moment of any method so
well adapted for suddenly raising the
average < f what is called general nr
formation in this country as to nim*
a few* well advertised ships after a few
rot very well advertised Vice Presidents.
Incidentally the practice might attract
lugger men to the office than we have
sometimes had.

The reason why a man does not bring

If some of the flappers could hear the

There may not be as much good as

The reason why girls are not treated
