WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS |X an inside page of one of the New York dailies appeared a story sensational enough, in the possibilities it offers, to have warranted big headlines on the first page. Yet it had to do with something at least five hundred years older than Christianity. Something very, very old, yet sensationally new. As applied to news stories the word sensatioual would be difficult to define. It isn’t necessarily confined to horrible crimes, awful accidents, earthquakes and tires, or even to unusual scandals. Someone has said that truth is the most sensational thing in the world—an interesting definition if you analyze it. But the story that produced the senation that is responsible for this editorial concerned the Biblical Golden Rule: “Whatsoever ye would that others should do unto you. do ye even so unto them.” You probably first heard of it at your mother's knee or in Sunday school or church. It is possible you haven’t paid much attention to it since. Standing alone it may not appear sensational to you. But here is the sensation: An organization of sane, practical men is under way to apply it to the daily life of humanity. The story says: “An international propaganda was organized yesterday at the Bankers Club (New York City) to remind the entire world of the merits of the Biblical Golden Rule. ... At an organization luncheon under the direction of the Near East Relief, the membership of a national Golden Rule Committee was announced, ‘as thus far constituted.’ ” Following is the list of members: Henry J. Allen. Newton D. Baker, Edward W. Bok, Irving T. Bush, Senator Arthur Capper, Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt. Josephus Daniels, Charles G. Dawes, Charles W. Eliot. Edward A. Filene, John H. Finley, James G. Harbord. Cardinal Hayes, Myron T. Herrick. Frank O. Lowden. Bishop Manning, Henry Morganthau, Frank Morrison, John R. Mott, Senator George Wharton Pepper, Governor Clifford Pinchot, Frank L. Polk, Theodore Roosevelt. Elihu Root, Charles M. Schwab, Warren S. Stone. Oscar S. Straus, William H. Taft, Senator James W. M adsworth, Jr., Rabbi Mise, Gen. Leonard Wood and others. Cleveland H. Dodge is honorary chairman. The inspiration out of which this organization sprung came at Geneva last September at a conference of twenty philanthropic societies to consider near East relief. They decided that ‘‘where armies, navies and diplomatic conferences have failed, the Golden Rule will solve the world’s problems.” Me may thank the Near East Relief for the inspiration, but we may also hope and pray that such an organization will make its scope nothing less than the universe and all relations of mankind. No other plank is needed or should be admitted to a platform for an organization to which every human being anywhere is eligible. Religiously obeyed, this injunction would solve not only the world’s poltical problems, but its social, business and religious problems as well. If Modernists and Fundamentalists. Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Mohammedans and all other religionists, employers and employes, members of all political parties, rulers of every type and title, legislators, judges, men, women and children can get together on any one thing, it is the Golden Rule. We hope that this organization grows. If it can get the world s mind on the Golden Rule the possibilities for good are unlimited. For what the disturbed world needs is to quit mouthing the Golden Rule and live it. How is it with YOU, Brother?
A PROMISE KEPT IVE ’em credit. The senatorial clique which framed the sentence: “We undertake to end executive autocracy and to restore to the people their constitutional government.’’ End executive autocracy? Ask Mr. Coolidge if they haven’t kept their promise. Ask him if they haven’t pretty near ended the executive himself! “PRESIDENT has nomination on ice,” says a headline descriptive of the keeping cool process. WEATHER report for the Balkans, hourly, daily, yearly and forever: “Cloudy and threatening.” THE ESKIMOS never have pneumonia, the doctors tell us, but all attempts to point a moral seem to freeze up. AGAIN showing the absence of proper home influences, along come a lot of child poets right on the heels of the child bandits. A CHICAGO man is suing for divorce because his wife failed to keep the furnace going. What, he thinks, is home without hot air?

WEST MAY LISTEN IN BY PROXY , J Arrangements Being Made for Broadcasting Convention Proceedings, BuNf’A Service C LEVELAND, May 23.—Twelve broadcasating stations scattered over the East and Middle West of the United States will broadcast the Republican convention from Cleveland, beginnng June 10, and at least one more will pick up a broadcast and hurl it out to the roast. This is the program, almost adopted. by which the people of America will be in constant touch with the delegates at the Republican convention here listening to speeches,- yells and applause, to all the noises and hullabaloo that accompanies a political gathering of this kind. The committee in charge of broadcasting is lining up stations in the following cities: Providence, New York, Washing-

ton, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Dallas and Atlanta.. The plan is to connect the stations in these cities by telephone wire direct from the convention hall here. Microphones wiy pick up the speeches, the shouting, the handclapping and ail, transmit them by wire to the stations all at the same time, to be broadcast almost the same moment throughout the United States. For farther west, the Westinghouse Company is planning to rebroadcast the convention proceedings from KFKX at Hastings, >Jeb., so that the whole coast may not puss the “big doings." Since station KDKA at East Pittsburgh. Pa., will be one of the twelve getting direct service from Cleveland, jit is planned to pick this up and i transmit it to KFKX on a short wave, while it will be broadcast at the same time on the higher broadj casting wave. In Cleveland, stations WTAM, ! WJAX and WHK will pick up every bit of the proceedings in shifts, so that nothing of the convention will he passed up. The same arrangement may he tried in the other cities, I where there are two or more sta- ; tions.
Tom Sims Says: Enlarging ycur cheat keeps you from having *.o enlarge your medicine chest. Nothing can make a man more uncomfortable than not understanding someone who understands him. The ship of state would rock along a little better if there weren’t so many threats of mutiny among the crew. Boys leave the country because they can’t stand their ground. Even if the world does owe you a living, you needn't expect to collect the whole thing at one time. The man of the hour didn’t get there in a minute. Georgia bank cashier returned $12,000, proving that almost anything can happen in Georgia. If the average man could be two places at the same time in spring, both places would be sitting down.

Wonders By HAL COCHRAN Just to stand upon the corner while the wohle world passes by and to view the types of people you will find Is a thing that’s worth the trouble; it’s a lesson, through the eye, and it sends a lot of wonders through your mind. Comes a cripple on his crutches and he wends a -weary way as he nobbles, selling things, from place to place. You’ll admit that he has trouble, yet he doesn’t look that way, and you -wonder at the smile upon his face. Then a newsie, with his papers, selling every one he can, keeps his pep up through the daily long-hour grind. Is he better at his business than, the average business man? There’s another little wonder for your mind. Walking gaily is a maiden, and her lips are brilliant red, and the color on her cheeks is not her own. And you wonder why the make-up, for, wh?n ail is done and said, she’d be sweeter if her looks were let alone. People pass and you can view them, and Impressions come galore. Just a-wond'ring is a natural thing to do. But when you are on the corner eyeing others by the score, don’t forget that folks are wond’ring over you.

AFFECTION OF CONVICT IS TOUCHING O'Dare Tell?. Pathetic Story of Father and His Daughter. By KAIN O'DARE. AP KANSAS wind played weird minors on the cornices of the northwest guntower of the penitentiary at Leavenworth. Underneath, in the prison yard, Roy Gardner, America’s notorious bandit, and I were swapping tales. "It was after my escape from McNeil’s Island,” droned the bandit, "that I made a dash down through the State of Washington. I was headed for home. I wanted to see the wife and the kid. “Os course you know I got there hut I guess I never told you how I found the kid. That’s the tough end of this game—the wives and kids. “Surronuding our home in California is a hedge. Before 1 went into the yard 1 peeked through to see if the road was clear. You know they kept our house guarded most ot the time, figuring I'd come back home to see Dolly and the baby. Guess they figured right, didn’t they? , Makes Mud Pies “Just as I peeked through, the first thing I saw was the kid. She was squatted on the ground making mud-pies. Her fingers were plas- : tered. Beyond her was Dolly standing in the door smiling down at the baby. "I couldn’t stand it any longer. I jumped over the hedge. “The wife screamed and came runring to me. j "The baby stopped In her play and j looked up into my eyes. I “ ‘lt’s my papal' she cried, and j getting to her feet leaped into my arms. i "Those arms went around my ! neck, and those little baby fingers 'clutched my collar. [ "The three of us hurried Into the house. " ‘You’re not safe a minute,' Dolly told me frantically. ‘The sheriff's posse nas been here all of the morn- ! ing waiting for you, and they're ! liable to get back any minute.' I "The wife began to cry. and so did the kid. "That's the time I wished that T was a common day laborer, and that j the Government had back all of the | millions I had taken from their mail- | trains. “ ’They're coming now!” shrieked the wife. Jumps Through Window "I kissed her and the kid once and jumped through a window. "Bullets were flying everywhere. “I could still hear the w fe shrieking and the baby crying. "It was an hour or two afterwards —I forgot how long. I found a safe spot for the time being In an open field in some tall prairie grass. “I lay down flat and tore off my collar to get breath and threw it on the ground In front of me. "What do you think I saw on that collar? "I saw the fingerprints that had ! come from the muddy fingers of our j baby when she had thrown her arms i around my neck. i "Say, listen: It’s been said of Roy Gardner that he would never kill, and that’s the reason why I'm locked up and doing seventy-five years. Listen old pal, If any damned sheriff or his posse had come on me then that's the time Roy Gardner would've killed!"

COOLIDGE IS RAPPED FOR BONUS TALK Senator McKellar Says Soldier Not Only One Who's 'lmmoral,' By KENNETH M’KELL.AR, U. S. Senator From Tennessee In my judgment, the President made a mistake in declaring the attitude of the soldiers is immoral in asking for a readjusted compensation. When the railroads asked for a readjustment of their war pay immediately after the war. they received in the neighborhood of $2,000,000,000. The war contractors, commonly known a-s war profiteers, demanded and received $706,000,,000 in readjusted pay. I Fites Extravagances The civilian employes of the govl ernment asked for and received hundreds of millions of dollars in readjusted pay or bonus. It is a mistake, in my judgment, to limit the charge of immorality in

asking readjusted pay solely to the ex-service men. Nor is the President’s theory that the passage of the bonus bill will prevent tax reduction correct. The §100,000,000 a year it will take to pay the bonus is a large sum, but the ship subsidy bill that was so strongly urged on us would have cost quite as much. In the last three years we have spent nearly as much as the bonus wiy cost, per year, on airplanes which have been declared useless. The sums spent on submarines, which sums have been thrown away, according to the reports, would almost rival the expenditures of the soldiers’ bonus. Huge ,Tax Refunds In addition, the extravagant tax refunds and tax abatements inaugurated by this Administration costs the Government several times as much as the bonus. The Gulf Refining Company, in which Mr. Mellon is personally interested, drew $3,000,000 in tax refunds from the Treasury. Last year he paid over $2,300,000 to one of the five big Chicago packers. Since Mr. Mellon has been in office the rise in tax refunds has been continuous and tremendous —524,000,000 in 1021, $48,000,000 in 1922. and $229,000,000 in 1923. None of these extravagances has even been attempted to be checked by the President. He becomes economical only where the soldiers are concerned.
