The next war, according to a vastly interesting
and well informed writer in the Century, will be
between the Nordic and the Latin races. He has
compiled considerable data and testimony an the
matter, and if we will pay more attention to it
than did the fore-seers of the past great war.
which students of the European situation forecast
many months in advance, we will busy ourselves
to forestall it. The conflict will be the vast, cli-
mactle struggle between the two great races of
mankind; the Nordic, which has always assumed
superiority, and the Latin, which cordially resents
the assumption. u
If it wasn’t that we have a firm,” ingrowing years flooded my silent heart

CRUSHED BEAUTY - . .
The other day I came across some dry, crushed
flowers that had boon given me by a little girl
over 30 years ago. All the sweetened memories of
The living fragrance that the wind gathered in
its lap as it sped by was only a memory. But the
unfathomed fragrance of this crushed floral beauty
was as fresh as ever.
It made me think of the radiating gentleness
behind every lovely smile of my Mother, of every
running, scampering scent of the spring's breath,
of the silent song of the sunset.
Not until a flower to crushed does its rarest
worth loom and compound.
A life crushed with sorrow, suffering and dis-
appointment, rises far above its former estate and
enlarges its very frame, so long as it remains brave
and unafraid..
Morley Roberts in his book about George Giss-
ing, which he garments under the title of “The
Private Life of Henry, Maitland,” says that “the
sort of poverty which crushed the aspiring is the
keynote to the best work he did." 1
"Gissing walked arm in arm with poverty, dis-
able is. And as men think of the world, it usually
is. The stirring of these strange little tongues of
mental flame all over the universe always invite a
get-together, and when they get together, they
make a ranking conflagration. There have been
few things anticipated by the mind of man-
either good or evil—that have not come to pass,
and there is as much proof that thinking made it
so as that doing anything else made it so. Even
the inventors and the scientists seldom stumble
on a discovery, and if they do, it is soon found
that some other inventor or scientist has had the
thought, anyway. They think things, and some —-==P— T.—F------.
strange force brings them into existence. Edison appointment and unhappiness nearly all his life,
can't explain electricity, nor the phonograph, nor
wireless. He doesn't try to. And yet we don’t
learn that there are inexplicables wrought by
thinking alone. .
1 As far as we are concerned, we would rather
those war prognosticators would choose the path of
not lighting the headlights of war than warn us
against it. We believe they can do more than we
can, at this stage, toward warding it off—and
that is, by not spreading the suggestion.

1 irreconellabiewr Point
It to true that Europe has gener-
ally welcomed the signing of the
agreement aa the re-entry of Am-
erica in the counsels of Europe—
but, from everything but the Irre-
concilable standpoint, that la a
very different thing.
The irreconcilables, who think
we ought not to be in those coun-
ells at all even in matters in which
our interests are engaged, are fugl-
es! In objecting to this agreement,
not on the false pretense that It
commits us to “sanctions” against
Germany, but on the general ground
that they de aot want to be joined
with anybody in anything, good or
bad, not even in the payment of our
honest debts.
But ‘ very few Americans now
share that view. Indeed, Senator
Johnson seems to feel that he is
alone in it. MI seem to be alone,"
ils friend, Mark Sullivan, quotes
him as saying. “All my former as-
sociates have become International
statesmen." - 1
CIRCLES.
Everything goes in circles. Because one town
advertises its advantages as a place of residence,
another town advertises. We make every effort
to pull the folks out of the little communities, out
of the small towns, and off the farms tolour city,
where we have a white way, a movie block, first
class schools, paved streets, fine shopping district,
end. good hard water. 1
" And then, when we have enticed them in, and
they rent a cozy little apartment thirty minutes
from the business district and pay a month’s rent
that would lease a farmhouse for a year, and set-
tie down to permit their babies to be born where
there to a white way, a movie block, first class
schools, etc., we sit around and philosophize about
God's green acres and the great open spaces, and
down on the farm with the pigs and chickens, and
how fortunate ths real he-men and wholesome
women are who are born and reared amid such
surroundings. A*
y.The fact is that if we think long enough and
deeply enough about anything we will find our-
selves running in circles.

but from it came great sweetness and beauty of
character, and a love for all that fragments this
earth. 1
“My walk," says this lover of beauty, “in the
golden hours leads me to a great horse-chestnut,
whose root offers a convenient seat in the shadow
of its foliage. At that resting place I have no wide
view before me, but what I see in enough-a corner
of wasteland, overflowed with poppies and char-
lock, on the edge of a field of corn. The brilliant
red and yellow harmonize with the glory of the day.
Near by, too, is a hedge covered with great white
blooms of bindweed. My eyes de net room grow
weary.”
If every daywe tighten in our hearts the ex-
perience of our life's severest losses, I am sure that
the crushed essence of it all will mean an influence
the fastest wind would want to carry to the fur-
thermost parts of this earth.

Editor The Times:
That the people of Wichita Falls
may thoroughly understand the ba-
tton that was brought by the su-
perintendent. of the girls’ training
school in the district court on Bat-
urday. January 24, I am asking the
privilege of making the following
statesment:
As superintendent of, the Girls’
Training School for the past eight
years. I have had to contend with
a situation which should be reme-
died, once and for all, namely the
common custom, all over Texas, of
holding young girls in a county jall
in the same cells with grown women
of the criminal type. Two hundred
girls have been thus confined with
older women, and every one Of these
girls has suffered mentally and
spiritually, and been endangered
physically from the experience. The
law to absolutely plain. Article 1,-
200 of the code of criminal proce-
dure, states' that no child, coming
under the juvenile act, shall be held
in any lockup or compartment of a
jail in which women of 18 years of
age are being held. This law is
casually set aside by those in au-
tborlty, as the above figures indi-

, The suit filed in Wichita county
was occasioned by the Incarceration
et a child for as days la the coun-
ty jail. It was necessary to name
in the suit everyone who was known
to have had any connection with
this case and was absolutely with-
out malice of anything of a person-
al -nature involved. The child her-
self applied to me for a redress,
and she, herself, went before an at-
torney and told the facts that were
included in the petition. It should
be thoroughly understood that the
case in Wichita has not been heard
wholly on its merits, but that the
cogrt had jo accept a plea of abate-
ment, because, unknown to the su-

School, who was acting as "next

whose interest the suit war brought,

the circumstances, she le no longer

suit in her own name, if she and

arrived at in the. session of the
court on Saturday. .

ANYWAY, EDW ARDS DOESN’T
LOOK LIKE A BOOTLEGGER
i By HARRY B. HUNT
+ NBA Service Writer s
WASHINGTON, Jan. 127.—If one
was out shooting bootleggers, one
would “ not even snap at United
States Senator Edward I. Edwards
of New Jersey.
If ever a man looked “dry," it’s

bert and a rusty plug hat on him
and he'd be the living image of
the long. lank, cadaverous person

that a pint flask in his hip pocket
would loom up like the bustle on
a village belle of 1890.
Unquestionably if any sleuthing
was done in the effort to catch
Edwards, some other method than
“shadowing” him had to be re-
sorted to. He's too thin to cast
even a substantial shadow.
The charges against Edwards,
however, coming on the heels of the
allegations that boose was smug-
gled in by members of congress re-
turning from a junket to Panama
and Havana, and the recent convic-
tion of Congressman Langley of
Kentucky with having assisted in
obtaining withdrawal. permits for
liquor, illegally, seem to make some
investigation by congress into pro-
hibition enforcement inescapable.
There has been an obvious ret
luctance on the part of congress
to lift the lid on the liquor situa-
tion.

smaller degree, Baltimore and

that the Anti-Saloon League, an-
gered over his refusal to fall la

erately set out to "frame" him.
The general character of the
charges developed in the Scott di-
vorce case "took in so much terri-
tory" that congress was able to
put on an injured air and an-
nounce It wouldn't indulge in any
muck-raising investigations on '
such flimsy evidence as that ad-
duced at such a trial.
Definite and specific charges, by
another duly sworn represents-
tive of the government, however,
as are presented in the Edwards
case, cannot so readily be sides
tracked.”
oner thing seems certain. Whether
congress ventures to take up an
investigation of whether prohibi-
tion prohibits, and if not, whyT a
reorganization of the prohibition
unit, beginning with Commissioner
Roy, Haynes, may be expected.
President Coolidge has no eriti-
cism of Major Haynes. He feels
he has handled a difficult job well.

Jones Jinxon is a tall mechanic, who makes old
ears as good as new, and when my bus is in a panic,
when it rears up and will not choo, when it has
heaves and fits titanic, I say to Jones: “It’s, up to
you." He lifts the hood, a moment tinkers with
things that slide, and things that roll, and says-
like other earnest thinkers he usee words that hit
the goal—“Your carbureter’s fall of clinkers; you
shouldn’t burn cheap grades of coal.". He knows
just where the grief is hidden, he’s wise to every
fateful sign, and goes to work, when he is bidden,
and makes the twisted parte align; and when some
parasangs I’ve ridden, 1 find the bus le working
fine. He knows his trade, he does no guessing, he
knows his business, con and pros and when we’ve

them go, and hoars the auto fans confessing that
he relieves much human woe. He knows his trade,
and he’s erecting, from earnings large ja handsome
flat, and every time he goes collecting the coin he
gathers fills his hat, and all the people are respect-
