,IF GOD -w—vRESIDENT Harding the other day said: WERE I / “The problems of the world would be-less PRESIDENT JL difficult if humanity would get a little closer to God.” „ Amen! “Closer to God.” To do a little bit more as God would do were He down here on earth directing affairs of state. The policy of President Harding and his Administration is one of “isolation” from the “problems of the world.” It is every nation for itself. Would that be God’s policy were He President of the United States? Or Secretary of State? Scarcely. Jesus, God’s Son, sent to the earth as His ambassador, certainly did not teach us any such thing. “And Jesus went about all Galilee,” says St. Matthew, “healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” He did not say: “It’s too bad they are sick. Bift I will have nothing to do with them. I might get sick myself.” Not at all. “He went about healing.” And what was the effect: “And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick peoples that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had palsy; and he healed them. “And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis and from Jerusalem and from beyond* Jordan.’’ I In short, people ft om a large part of the known world gathered about him. He at once became a great figure because he did not isolate himself and say: “I’ll take care of myself and you take care of yourself.” And almost his first words to these people were: “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.” It would be difficult indeed to get any “closer to God” than, being His children. And for the benefit of any “isolationists” who might have | been among his listeners—for the timid, afraid to help “make the problems ol the world less difficult,” lest they themselves in j 'some way become involved—he said:

“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you . * * * for my sake. “Ye are the salt of the.earth.” Jesus particularly and every way lie could warned the people not to live for themselves and to themselves alone. An “isolationist?” Not he! 0 “Ae are the light of the world, he told the mixture of people ‘ from Decapolis and from Jerusalem and from beyond Jordan. “A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. “Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.” i “Closer to God.” It would be well worth a special trip to the Capitol some day, Mr. President, just to leliver that message to the United States Senate—that body of men whose ungodly selfishness and fear are so largely responsible for the terrible fix the world is in today. ALAND V ‘ ft Dot. W'X uncle writes from Prince OF REAL , Ldtvai hind. Canada: ‘‘The snow here is WEATHER JL \j .) to lU fee: deep on the level, hut it’s piled up about 30 feet high along the railroad tracks. It s a reasonably mild winter, only 30 below zero as 1 write. But we’re all drearling the big spring tliraw. when the snow will turn to an ocean of slush.” * ou might keep this in mind, as an antidote when our own weather seems cantankerous. PONTIUS recortls dug up in Jerusalem tell of a PILATE I I water system built in the time of Christ, and GRAFTER V/ show that t"oulius Pilate, who had charge of the job. was accused of grafting. This, which happened about nineteen centuries ago, sounds like modern times. Since grafting by some public officials is over 1,900 years old, our generation can hardly expect to get rid of it. Dishonesty, we ha\e x\itli us always. And public officials, on the average, are just about as honest as the public. Government is a mirror of the goxerned. just as a magazine or newspaper is a mirror of its readers.

By ROT GIBBONS .V EA Staff Correspondent C ‘NHICAGO, Feb. 19.—A pretty face, an attractive smile and -A a quarter’s worth of paint I from the corner drug' store and a I girl “can get away with the Bank i of England.” So says Wilma McMullin, in jail here on charges of being the lure and “come on” for a dapper sheik ; band which preyed upon wealthy old men. And the reason why this recipe brings wealth is simply stated by | Wilma, as follows: “Because all men are boobs.” Pronouncedly of the flapper type, Wilma declares that, as far back as I she can remember in her 19 years, j she has got what she wanted just ! by smiling. “That's all the pay a girl has to give—just a grin or two,” she says. Split Profits? No! Chance taught hyr the monetary value of a smile. .\ dental cream manufacturer told her her smile as an ad for tooth paste should be worth much money. If worth money to him. why not to her, without splitting the profits? This thought got her into the game, from which she draws these conchwions: “It's the old ones tha' flop the hardest —you know the kind I mean, with more dough than they know wlmt to do with.

There seems to lie no chance for the Ford off-r to he accepted at this session. and it will die upon adjournment March 4 as ‘'unfinished business.’’ Surface indications are that. House leaders, after tyo years' delay, are at last getting ready to vote on the Ford offer just before adjournment. Ford's supporters, however, take this as a mere political gesture—empty and meaningless—by the Republican lenders In an effort to curry favor with the farmer vote, which has clamored steadily for Ford.

ME-UP’SHOWS WILSON’S MIND IS ENAS MR Former President Has Uncanny Knowledge-of World Conditions, WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—1f you were invited out to that quiet house on S St. today and you spent thirteen minutes in conversation witty Woodrow Wilson, you would observe: A mind as keen as a razor blade, an amazing knowledge of current events, an abflity to discuss almost any angle of the foreign or domestic political situation, an almost uncanny knowledge of world conditions, remote and recent, and a cheerful and happy disposition. Take this “close-up” of the former President from one of hie closest associates who dropped Into Washington and was a visitor at the Wilson home this week. His physical condition is better—much better. Slowly, but surely, he is regaining the use of his paralyzed left leg and arm. fjis step te approaching something close to its oldtime steadiness. He is getting heavier every day, the color is flush !n his checks and he cats and sleeps well. Although greatly improved, he is by no means a well man—and probably never will be—because his age stands against complete recovery.

Former Mexican Bandit Chief, Exiled on 200,000-Acre Farm, Getting Restless a nd Seeking Excitement,

By \SEA Service EL PASO, Texas, Feb. 19.—Francisco Villa, former Mexican bandit chief, is learning to read and write. This may be taken as a praiseworthy attempt of this former “scourge of Mexico” to settle down and educate himself. But— It Is recalled, along the border here, that during Ills day3 of power, Pancho Villa had to dictate his orders for executions, depending on some under--1 ling to write them and carry them out. j Well, what could keep these underlings from substituting the names of I their personal enemies for those men- ! Honed by Villa? This happened several times when Villa was Mexico's bciss. v Reports that Villa is aspiring to become dictator gain force here. Three years is a long time for such a restless spirit as Villa's to waste on cropmaking playthings cn his 200,000acre farm at Cantuillo. Can’t Go Far For the last year, it is known. Villa has wanted to visit Mexico City and the United States. But there are restrictions against him. He has agreed not to enter Mexico City and, although he has sent envoys to ask Obregon's permission to visit the Capital, the Mexican president, in high sounding Spanish phrases, politely declined. Villa cannot cross the Rio Grande because the order of former President Wilson to capture him dead or alive still stands, because he still faces a charge of murder in the New Mexican courts on account of the Columbus raid, because the offer of Colonel Slocum, who was in command at Columbus, of $50,000 for the capture of the ex-bandit, dead or alive, has not been withdrawn. But that doesn't allay Villa Would Visit Dallas Only recently he sent a sounder to Austin. Would Governor Neff of Texas permit a reformed bV.ndit and meek agriculturist to go to Dallas for farm implements and have a little fun at the same time? If the Governor would grant the permit Villa would hasten to Dallas and make the' farm implement dealers happy by leaving with them many pesos. But Not? said no. Eyes on "Fascist i” Durango reports say Villa ’is figuring on running for governor of that state, but that has been current for two years.
