Peace Time Casualties
In these days of big guns high explosives and death-
dealing gasses casualties do not cease with the close
of eventualities.
In the old days the chieftain called his warriors to-
gether led thorn against the enemy won or lost and
then went back home to pursue an uneventful career
until the next scrap.
Broken spears and bows were replaced and then laid
away harmless to every one.
But now. when we quit fighting we begin gathering
together munitions for another war storing them in
at convenient points a little isolated perhaps but still
close enough to hurt innocent people. And then one
day something goes wrong—a bolt of lightning or a
short-circuit—and the newspapers record another
disaster.
We are having too many accidents with our engines
of war. Warships go on the rocks a big gun or :
h magazine explodes a submarine rams another boat.
We can stand it of course. We are rich and can
make up the loss but we cannot replace siiul.'vd out
lives.
* There is a certain glamour about losing one's life
in action. The sorrow of the loved ones left behind is
4 somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that the victim
went down to leath in line of duty.
But MH^thow it's a little different in peace time.
Men still die in line of duty to be sure but there is
that feeling in case of accident that someone bungled
that a big mistake was made that if every precaution
had been taken there would have been no catastrophe
that in fact we are in poor business fooling with guns
and gasses end high explosives when there is no war.
It may be necessary to prepare for conflict in time*
of peace but somehow the feeling sticks that when a
gun or a magazine explodes or a war vessel sinks we
who constitute the government of the United States are
morally responsible for the great casualty list.
A Vulgar Show of Wealth
It doesn't do any good for Americans traveling
abroad to strut and it may do some harm at times.
Take for instance that group of tourists who paper-
ed the walls of their railway stateroom .with French
francs plastered the seat with the same sort of cur-
tency laid some two deep on the floor as a carpet
and then called the conductor just for the fun of wit-
nessing that Frenchman's reaction.
Tt was a mean sort of way to show their contemp;
for France its depreciated currency. It was taking
•dvnntAiM iit <» situation to assume superiority and to
Haunt their wealth. It was cheap stage play and show-
ed utter lack of breeding. It placed the American peo-
ple in a false light and will hinder rather than pro-
mote good feeling between the two nations.
One trouble with our prosperity is that it creates
a lot of snobbery. It does in any country no douV..
Many of us cannot wear our wealth gracefully and
modestly. We must display it on every occasion and
particularly when we are traveling abroal. It what
we hear is true Americans ire noisy and housttul and
showy eveywhere they go—not all of course but many
especially those n«»t more than a generation removed
from the ditch digger and the hod carrier.
To them the possession of wealth means superiority
but if they only knew it they could learn a lot'from
the purse-poor foreigners upon whom they look down.
They could learn something of the virtue of calmly
meeting adversity something of real culture apd gen
limy.
We should be everlastingly thankful for the j rivil-
of living in America and sharing in its wealth
but it should not make us boastful and arrogant :nd
snobbish. We are no better because of our prosperity
unless we can utilize our money and influence to im-
prove the condition of our less fortunate brothers and
the world in general. It is what we do with our wealth
that counts and it is nothing to our credit to flaunt the
dollar bill in the face of the depreciated franc. It
just cheapens us.
What the nations seem to want is enough arma-
ment to avoid getting licked by any nation having as
much armament.'—Washington Post.
Probably the main reason the Europeans don't want
to pay us is that they know how we spend the money
we already have.—Columbus Dispatch.
Congress ought to do something for the poor farm-
er. It doesn't need to do anything for the good
tanner.—American Lumberman (Chicago).
In every election some man has the solid backing
of all the righteous people who don’t vote.—Duluth
Herald. |
And about all the relief a mere gardener can expect
ia a back plaster.—Birmingham News.

the lies they tell.—Publishers Syndicate (Chicago).

MR. BORAH FIGHTING WINDMILLS
(Chicago Daily News)
In a speech at Augusta Ga. Senator Borah of Idaho
declared that the State prohibition referendum to be
held in New York and elsewhere next fall were brazen
proposals to nullify the Federal Constitution and were
-whelps from the same kennel as bolshevism in Rus-
.»ia fascism in Italy and military dictatorship in
foUnd.” \
Mr Bw/ah is no* helping the cause of constitutional
government by gratuitous misrepresentation of the posi-
tion of American citizens who advocate the sort of re-
ferendum to be held in New York under a resolution
passed by a Republican Legislature- approved by a
Democratic Governor and cacepted with satifeation by
jnany leading citizens whose devotion to good govern-
ment is as great as that of the Idaho Senator.
The Daily News as it has stated repeatedly at-
taches little importance to prohibition referendums of
the general or academic kind. It believes with Mayor
Dever and others that the pressing need in respect of
the prohibition issue ifc an impartial and scientific in-
vestigation of the effects of Volsteadisra and of the
possible modification of that interpretation of the
eighteenth amendment. Still there is no warrant for
charging supporters of thc referendum idea with a
desire to nullify constitutional government. The ob-
t ject of the referendum is to test public opinion and of-
fer guidance to Congress. Thc test may be futile but
it is not repugnant to the spirit or the letter of the
Constitution.
Friends of constitutional government should be-
ware of misrepresentation and distortion. Government
by discussion presupposes fair and honest considera-
tion of every legitimate point of view. It is intoler-
ance that in the opposite extreme tends to engender
•nullification sentiments.
I TIMELY VIEWS
By GENER XL JOSE FIGFEROX
Chief of the lk*partmeni of Animal Industry
in an interview
The most important agricultural problem that Mex- j
ico has to solve is about to come to a satisfactory
solution.
With the division of the great estates the land
problem was solved but there remain those of irriga-
tion of modern agricultural instruction and of agrarian
credits. In order to handle the question of water j
there was formed at the beginning of the present year j
a special bureau and at present the first dam is under i
construction which will eventually store up a large i
quantity of water for the irrigation of a large section '
of what might he called the Mexican corn belt in th**
State of Guanajuato and part of the State of Michoacan. '
Through the first step by the government in gen
cral and the Ministry of Agriculture in particular th**r ■
will be benefited a great number o.‘ small f:-. :uer* j
tLu :..i have been entirely dependent for their >
harvests upon the rains which frequently were rare.
In the field of agricultural instruction the govern-
ment is giving preference to those who have received
land and is teaching them the most modern methods
of cultivation the use of agricultural machinery the
selection of seeds and control of the pests that attack
all kinds of crops and animals.
Regarding the question of agrarian credits this
year there was founded the Agricultural Financing
Hank which fills a gap in the agricultural industry
and which has begun to do business with a great
number of farmers.
In this way Mexfcro will establish its own colonies
and will give work to a great number of laborers who
formerly emigrated to work in the southern part of the
Fnited States especially on the cotton plantations.
Importation of agricultural products is diminishing
year by year and the exportation of other .gricultural
products is increasing. The country is an excellent
field for the sale of agricultural machinery trucks
seeds birds and animals of the various domestic sp •-
cies. This was proved by the sale of an entire lot of
registered cattle sent to Mexico by the Republic of Ar-
gentina which according to my information will soon
send a better and larger number of cattle to the com-
ing live stock exposition whictf will be held in Decem-
ber. This test sale brought in more than 50000 pesos.
Other articles the importation of which is increas-
ing in Mexico are fruits and also insecticides fungi-
cides serums and vaccines.

The man from New Jersey was telling the Utah man
that the mosquitoes in Utah were as nothing compared !
with the ones back east. In the end he had made a
bet that he could take off his shirt and let the Utah
pests bite him for ten minutes without even taking a
slap at them.
At the end of nine minutes the Uath man saw a
good chance to lose the bet for although the New
Jersey man was covered with mosquitoes he hadn't even ;
quivered. Something must be done. Picking up a
burning glass the Utah man threw its rays on the New !
Jersey man's back. The man from the east gave a yell
and smacked his back with his hand.
“There's one from home” he yelled as he paid the (
bet.
Uncle Joe owns and operates an “exclusive shoe-
shining parlor'* in a small western town and as cus-
tomers are rather scarce tnercabouts he can’t afford
to offend any of them. But his “parlor” has to be run i
on a strictly cash basis. So when a man a little too j
well known to Uncle Ned as “slow pay*’ came in to
have his shoes shined and suggested to the old negro j
a desire to pay at a later date Uncle Joe did some j
quick thinking.
“I'se sorry boss; I sure is.” he replied “but I jo*’

SYNOPSIS
Gregory Cochran lawyer and po-
litical leader is sheltering tn his
mother's home Molly Shannon uni-
versity student whom he rescued
from the river when wandering
aimlessly at night she plunged in.
Molly had become despondent when
deserted by her /lance Stephen
Jtenfro effu leifcy expert who mar-
ried the daughter o/ “rich old Jim
Dilworth." Cochran proving a true
friend is gradually winning Molly's
confidence and she is relating her
sorrows to him.
CHAPTER XVII—Continued
She was magnificent Indeed. She
was faultless consummate — in
every detail from the exquisite
waves of silver drawn from brow to
ears the web of creatny old lace at
throat and wrists to the hem of
her lustrous black silk. Iler mag-
nificence consisted though not In
her clothes; neither in her coiffure
nor In the perfection of her
grooming. Molly saw that at once
even while she shriveled into noth-
ingness in comparison. No. she
was Innately and predestlnedly
magnificent. It was in the very
way she stood on the threshold-
the quintessence of poise the last
word tn presence. One had not far
to seek where her son came by his
sureness of motion his ‘serene as
a god above a storm."
To the latter she addressed her-
self. without noting apparently
that there was anyone else in the
room "Gred dear the telephone
la really getting too much for me
After a barely perceptible pause
the older tcoman boned—slightly.
and. besides you know you’re due
in the court room at eleven . . .**
"Yes mother; I'm Just coming.
But—while you're here. I want you
to meet Miss Shannon. . . .” lie
stepped a little to one side that
there might be no further supposi-
tion of Molly’s not Ijelng even.
"Miss Shannon my mother.”
After a barely perceptible pause
the older woman bowed—slightly.
She was looking rather over Molly
than at her and she did not ad-
vance a step farther into the
room.
Molly bowed also—In silence.
• Miss Shannon by the way. Is
going back to school on Monday.”
he added unperturbed by his
mother's evident disapproval of
Molly and all that had to do with
her. ‘‘We’s Just agreed It’s the
best possible thing.” He turned
to Molly with a humorous question
In his eyes. "We have agreed
haven’t we?”
"At least you have” ebe an-
swered somberly.
"It comes to the same. And.
mother—I want you to ask Miss
Shannon to have dinner with us
as soon as she feels up to it—say
tomorrow evening or the evening
after. . .
There was a second pause more
portentous than ths first. In the
air waa a measuring of swords.
Molly felt It—over bet- head—as
plainly as though she heard the
clank of steel— why. she asked
herself dully resentful should
they be crossing swords over her?
She didn't want to have dinner
with them. She didn't want any-
thing—but to be left alone.
At last Sarah Cochran said slow-
ly but with meticulous courtesy
"We shall be glad to have Miss
Shannon any time ahe cares to
come I’m sure.” Her eyes were
fixed not on the prospective guest
j»ut on her eon.
CHAPTER XVIII
Stephen Renfro’s marriage was
etill a nine days’ wonder on every-
body’! Ups. at the reassembled uni-
versity. Wherever Molly went'she
knew that his name was whispered.
Curious speculative uo doubt pity-
ing glances were exchanged behind
her back. Occasionally some one
more inquisitive—or less consider-
ate—than the rest spoke rA him to
. her. JJere and there a darker sue-
__ f
plclon raised its head a snsplcioa
never lacking where a woman hat
been acorned and thrown aside.
There was Miss Brian too. She
never said anything but her very
existence was a silent reminder an
unintentional reproach.
All that did not matter so much
—once the first dreadful step was
taken. Molly anon found she was
incased In a practically seamless
armor of apathy and indifference?
which turned aside each recurring
blow. She held the friendly and
the curious alike at arm's lengthy
went her way and asked nothing oJ
anybody but to be let alone. Thl
truth was one poison had klllol
another. 1
To keep moving was her onls
salvation. Across her tiny roomj
she went continuously back an<f
forth while she conued her lessons
or in the corridor moved up and
down up and down to the rhythm
of French verbs and I^itln meters J
Kvery hour that she could spare
she was out of doors walking fe-
verishly. driven by her own par-
ticular allotment of furies. She cov-
ered every foot of road and trail
and open country within reach]
again and again; walked until *hJ
was so spent she could not cho|f 1
but lie quietly at night even if C I
did not sleep. More often than o| j
when Gregory Cochran was

tory after the study hour and ■aJ
two of them would walk round an]
round the "perip" until bedtimlfM
Molly's bedtime which was earjH

Mrs. Parker knew nothin* H

but lightly however on Mrs. P*l
ker's ricocheting spirits. Assurfl
that her protege was In no seriaH
danger—though sir* could not d
moved for some weeks—her elal
tlcallv hopeful old mind leaped id
once to the gratifying conclusld
that the "hand of the I^ord" wasjl
It. Before Gregory Cochran's brod
and well tailored back was fall®
turned on the boarding house d
was a marked man. 1
As months passed and Cochrail
kindly oversight of Molly's fgj|
showed no signs of falling off. <H
tion waxed to such triumphal d
tensity that she could not refnH
from some hint of her prophetic id
tiglnings —with the hope no dotid
of having them confirmed. "Jim

ly had dropped in for r. little ktfl
chen visit. The visits were brlell
and farther apart of late. Thd
seemed not to have so much to
about. I reckon that'll make hifl
sit up and take notice!” 9
Molly looked at her for some ml
ments in blank and unenllghteitifl
silence. Her mind groped > tlnl
for any Intelligible point of mntgicl
She had. of course heard Grew*
Cochran named In connection wtj9
the governorship hut no relatlfl
between that fact and herself
ever occurred *o her. It did n«t ||
cur to her now. 9
“Please.'* she concluded eariiH
ly. "you must not only never afl

The other pushed th* money

hands numhling absently that she
was not to bother her head about

and earthy mnfters. she was raptlv
envisaging Molly In a trailing vel-
vet gown hair done high and Jew-
els at her throat holding grand
levee in the Governor's mansion.
“You don't owe It to me. nohow."
she add* d. still from the depths of
her trance.
Molly stared. "What do you
•n—I don't owe It to you?" aba
demanded.
The fairy godmother raced back
from the Governor's hall minus her
coach and four and arrived some-
what panicky and out of breath
"Why" she atammered. "I wasn't

"If I don't owe It to you." Molly
persisted not taking her eves for
