TTJLSA Tulsa, repenting In (tack cloth and ashes for the crime committed against a portion of her people whose only offense was the color of their skin, la rebuilding the houses of the negroes rendered homeless by the tfres started by mobs. "Race prejudice" la blamed for Tulsa's disgrace, Sat In Kurope It 13 white against .white, and in China yellow against yellow. Here Is a problem that the psychologists would do well to study, for unless science cn trace mob outbreaks of the Tulsa kind to some weakness, some diseased condition of the individual .nlnd, then we must admit that we are mucb nearer to fiKvagery, much closer to primeval man, than we like '.i con re?.

A MINOITY VOTE i When the election returns came in last November lth the enormous pluralities recorded It ml.sht have ben assumed that everybody eligible to vote had cast a ballot on election day. It may seem astonishing, yec It: is stated on the authority of a writer in the Boston Transcript, that, taking the county as a whole, not half of thou eligible to qualify as voters availed themselves of. the privilege. i The south naturally would be expected to make the worst showing in this respect, because the election there is' a listless ratification of the result of the primaries. However, it might be thought that more than one voter out of nine in South Carolina should cast his ballot just to make sure that nothing was "put over" on them. In none of the rock-ribbed states of the late " Solid South" was 20 per cent, of the possible vote cast. But that la not all of it. Figures compiled show that 6 4,2 per cent, of those estimated eligible to Qualification as voters of Pennsylvania did not go to the polls. Indlanans appear to have a higher appreciation of citizenship than the people of other states, 6ince only 26 per cet. of her possible voters stayed away from the polls. .' Do Americans not appreciate the value of the baliLitT It Is possible that those who engage In the o-ast violent criticism of our government and the way it 1b conducted are among those who neglect to qualify nd go to the polls on election day. We cannot have a real "government of the people, by the people and for the people" If the election results voice the action of iesw than half the people. It may be that the result iw not different from what it would be were there a full vote, but we cannot be sure about that. It Is probable that the late admission of the women to suffrage las fall, in some cases too late for them to qualify as voters, augmented the stay-at-home vote, but that would by no means explain all the discrepancy between the vote cast and what It might have been. It Is not only a privilege. It Is a solemn duty of the citixen to vote at elections. That so many neglect the duty is not encouraging.

relation to the river doubtless the possibility of boods

I was taken into account, but as years passed without

anything alarming occurring, probably the building ap proached the river more nearly. Then an un precedent

d rainfall occurred and the damage was done. It Is the lesson that ether cities have learned from like

calamities, though not the less regrettable on that accoun. The lives lost cannot be restored hut precaution not only in Pueblo but la other cities similarly situated

can be taken to escape a similar visitation. Man is greedy and land that lies nea the water need offer no second invitation to htm to come and occupy. He

builds on It and trusts to luck. The unfortunate phase jf the situation Ilea In that the luck may be bad. It la not enoug to be just above the high water mark. It in wiser to add a wide margatn for safety, for precedents often are broken.

While Pueblo is at the edge of the plains It Is also

at the gate of the mountains and lta situation therefore is not materially different from cities located in narrow valleys. It Is the part of wisdom to seek to avoid the track of the forces that nature may loc&e. Neglect

nf caution may bring ruin and death. Whatever the menace, flood. flr or earthquake. Its possibility should not be disregarded by failure to take steps to minltnlio Its effects should the worst befall.

NO BASQATNTNO WITH JAPAN Secretary Hughes will not be hamboonled by the Japanese. He will net be cajoled by a pro-offer of privilege to surrender American rights that rest on principle. Our claim to use of the island of Yap as a cable station Is to a degree incidental. The real Issue In the controversy which has arisen concerns the authority to transfer sovereignity over former possessions of Germany. This makes impossible "a direct settlement betwen the United States and Japan." A Toklo dispatch refers to "Japan's policy frankly to discuss with the new administration in Washington aU problems that arise between Japan and America in an endeavor to reach a co-operative accord," and Intimates that Japan "will offer some form of Internationalization of the cables affected." All Americans will

welcome the friendly co-operation of Japan in the set

tlement o? problems which concern these two countries alone. Of another category is Yap, however. The American contention is that the rights which Japan claims through award to It of a mandate are not legally existent, since the prior right of the United

States to a voice in the disposition of former German (ierman possessions was Ignored. For us to under

take to make an agreement with Japan in settlement of the dispute would be tantamount to abandoning the principle on which we have been 'proceeding, and to

confirm, so far as in us lies, the. acts of the Supreme

Council done in derogation of our righas.

If we sanction the Japanese plan as outlined we

will surrender our right to share in the trusteeship

of th territories which Germany ceded by treaty to the

principal allied and associated powers. This trustee

ship constitutes a duty which we have no right to ne

glect.

LET PUEBLO BE A LESSON Disasters like that which has befalen Pueblo are due to the want cf precaution on the part of man. Colorado is a dry land but any one who has the knowledge of the great arid region of the West Is aware that the Infrequent rains often take the form of cloudbursts, such occur the water sweeps down the valleys carrying all that is in Its path. Ordinarily the western .-tvers carry little water in their beds, but they may change suddenly to raging torrents. In building the city of Pueblo on low ground in

EINSTEIN ON DRESS. Professor Einstein when in New York the other

tiny. Just before sailing for Europe, asked to be excused from talking about the abstruse subject which won him fame. He preferred to say a few words about the

American women.

"All classes of girls dress like European aristocrats,"

Professor Einstein aid. "For Instance, a girl passed

rae on the street who locked like a queen. She was

dressed not only In the best style but in perfect tacte. I thought she was the daughter of a millionaire, but she turned out to be a typist In this hotel." Perhaps the semlng compliment of Professor Einstein Is not so much of a compliment to the good judgement of American girls. It Is evident that even well paid typists and other girl workers must find it something of a burden to provide themselves with shelter and food and In addition clothes that make them "lcok like a queen."

LORD BYNG of VImy has been offered the post of governor general of Canada. What he lacks In knowledge of political steam rollers he makes up in experience with caterpillar tanks, which also flatten the opposition.

NOW THAT "Cousin" Everett has been sentenced to fifteen months in prison, he will have plenty of time to figure out the details of that chain of candy stores and hotels.

Cross-shaded states are four now in the anion. Lighter ahadad states are expected to join it later. For economic and geographic reasons, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica have formed "the Federal Republic of Central America."

A new canal to relieve the Panama canal and an improvement in railroad communication between the countries and through them are two bijr results expected from the union. Secretary of State Hughes has said that if the proposal for the confederation war accepted br all the peoples concerned, "it would, in the opinion of this government, be happy result."

Mrs. .Tanssen's experience of Interest to childless wives. Millston, Wis. " I want to crive you a word of praise for your wonderful medicine. We are fond of children, and for a considerable time after we were married I feared I would not have any. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it strengthened me bo I now have a nice, strong, healthy baby girl. 1 suffered very little at childbirth, and I give all the credit to your medicine, and shall always recommend it highly.' Mrs. II. H. Janssen, Miilston, Wis. Mrs. rield of Marinette, Wis., adds her testimonial for Lydia E. IMnkham's Vegetable Compound. She says: Marinette, Wis. "I was in a nervous condition and very irregular. My doctor advised an operation. My husband brought me one of your booklets and asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It overcame my weakness so that I now have a healthy baby girl after having been married nine years. I am glad to recommend your medicine, and you may use my letter as a testimonial." 'Mrs. H. B. Held, 330 Jefferson St., Marinette, Wis. There are many, many such homes that were once childless, and are now blessed with healthy, happy children necause Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored the mother to a strong and healthy condition, as it acts as a natural restorative for ailments as indicated by backache, irregularities, displacements, weakness and nervousness. Women everywhere should remember that most of the commoner ailments of women are not the surgical ones they are not caused by serious displacements or growths, although the symptoms may be the same, and that is why so many apparently serious ailments readily yield to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it acts as a natural restorative. It can be taken with perfect safety and often prevents serious troubles. . Therefore if you know of any woman who is suffering and has been unable to secure relief and is regretfully looking forward to a childless old age ask her to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it has brought health and happiness into so many homes once darkened by illness and despair. Lydia E.
