DARROW’S LATEST JOKE TT] R. CLARENCE HARROW, the able Chicago lawyer, has IVI associated with alienists and psychoanalysts overmuch. it is feared. lie seems to have lost something of his old power to reason straightly. He comes forth flow to oppose the prohibition laws with the unique suggestion that the way to get rid of an offensive statute is to resist it until it is abandoned as unenforeible. This is in direct antagonism with the old-time and widely accepted theory that the best way to get rid of an unbearable law i- to enforce it. Os course. Mr. Harrow is wrong—wholly wrong. His advice is. in substance, that every man shall become a law unto himself and that, lie shall accept nothing written into the statutes that is in conflict with his personal views. It requires no great measure of thought to decide where such largely-em-ployed procedure would end. There would be no such thing as law observance, no such existence as law-abiding. A government might exist under such conditions, but it would be a tragic joke. THEY CALL IT DIPLOMACY! Til E new British government has formally repudiated the ___ treaty negotiated by former Premier MacDonald with the Russian government. At the same time the British Foreign Secretary lias notiiied the Russian government that it has no doubt as to tlie authenticity of the Zinovieff letter, which letter is the ostensible reason for repudiating the treaty. Now the Zinovieff letter—a Bolshevist propaganda screed —has been repudiated as a forgery In Zinovieff' and the Russi ti government. The situation i> as if our Secretary Hughes’ name were attached to a troublp-making letter published in London and our Secretary swore by his sa-red whiskers that he didn’t write the letter and our government officially repudiated it. The situation differs, however, in that Great Britain in the latter ease would not dare doubt our official statement. We are big and stromr. Russia, while big. is not considered strong. “Although it was felt that to save British prestige the authenticity of the letter must be upheld, there is no doubt in any quarter that it was a forgery." So cables the usually well informed London correspondent of the New York World. This is what they call diplomacy. NOW IT IS the cuss-word puzzle. UOWE\ ER, “the debt the country owes to Lodge.*’ mentioned by an eastern paper, isn’t likely to cause the budget director much worry. “HOME ADVISOR" is amon<? the new jobs for women welfare workers in the East. It is very trying up to the point where they succeed at last in locating a home. MICHIGAN DEER season opened Nov. 10 and thirteen hunters were shot within the first 24 hours. Fools are the same in the woods as in automobiles. A NEW MICHIGAN baby has been named after Ilenry Ford in lieu of the regular infantile rattle. AUTOMOBILES HAVE become very popular in Turkey and those Armenians had best keep under cover now and henceforth. ELECTION DAY and Armistice Day being over, the politicians can now forget the veterans without a qualm. MR. BI RBANK’S new prune, by process of repeated descriptions, is now as big as a coeoanut, but it is still a prune.

Playroom By HAL COCHRAN It was just the finest playroom that you'd ever hope to see, and ’twas filled with thing’s a tiny tot enjoys. They had papered it and painted it till pretty as could he, and they’d rilled the place with lots of dolls and toys. It was mother’s main idea that the youngsters round the place would hie into the playroom every day. She planned to keep them busy where no walls they could deface: where they’d find things that would make them want to stay. Well, they found the list of playthings, you can safely bet on that, and they "O-o-o-ed” and "Ah-h-h-ed” at how the room was fixed. One was shoutin' “Look at this thing,” and the other “Look at that.” Then the plans that mother made were quickly mixed. Did they stay there in the playroom? For a minute —not much more. Why the story’s always thus we ne'er ran see. But they shortly had the playthings ’round the; house upon the floor in most every rrjoni ’cept where they ought to be.

Science A school of scientists has grown up in the last few years, especially since the World War, that has for its object the destruction of the j proposition, “All men are created , equal.” Many papers and books have been ’written on this subject, based mostly ion the Idea summed up by President 1 fl-orge B. l.'utten of Colgate University wh nssiys: “Nattire's inex ; oral>le law is inequality." and in a statement by Lathrop Stoddard that ’says, "The idea of natural equality is one of the most pernicious delusions that has ever afflicted mankind Nature knows no equality ” These attacks, with the weaponof science, on the equality of mankind have been answered by Prof. Ira Woods Howert of Colorado State Teachers' College. H< claims that. I be entire movement is propaganda |to destroy the fundamental prin- | ciples upon which the country was f -.tnded and to discredit democracy. His analysis of equality Is that it means the equal right of men to life, j liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
