BY THEIR WORKS. The Allied control commission acting under

he treaty of Versailles has asked the German

ovcrnment to strike out the phrase occurring

a the German artillery manual now in use:

The final object of these (artillery) instructions

3 preparation for war."

With the intent of this prohibitory measure 11 will agree. If their leaders are not so agreed,

t least the plain people of all the nations of the

arth are agreed that there should be no more reparation for war. They would insist that

his applies to Patagonia and Persia no less nan it does to any other country.

But what kind of childish reasoning do men

rrive at the conclusion that by merely striking ut a phrase in a military manual we abolish reparation for war? It isn't what is in the

bilitary manual that makes the war. It is acts.

Nor is this true of one country, any more han it is of another. This tendency ofjaen to

lasuca uy gAuoamg uitui vvw mi lords, to conceal facts by weaving words around

jhem, explains a good deal of the difficulty

iroueht on us by the war. We think that by

Jhe mere amassing of an inordinate number of

L-ords into what we call a treaty we can festab-

sh peace and international relations that will ring us back to normal times. We forget that behind these word3 there

hust be sound and intelligible ideas; and that

iese ideas must have some relation to existing

Lets and conditions. These ideas must further

ave outlet in actions which are in accord with

uch ideas. Even though we should expatiate or ever so long a time and in beautiful rhetoric

n the advantages and needs of peace and micable international relations there could

bme little good from such oratory, unless it be

lacked up with acts that give evidence of the

incerity of our words. It is by our works and

ot merely by our words that we must be

Ldged.

IME TO LAY OFF FROM THE RETAILER. If there is any class of people who have

een hard hit by the recent change in conditions,

is the retail merchant. We hear much of the

istress of the farmer and the strain the bankers ave been laboring under is of knowledge .to all.

ut have you heard of any general movement to

ssist the retail merchant in these times of

kress? Yet no line of business has been hit

arder than that of the retail merchant, the man ou meet every day and the one who supplies our daily; needs. When the slump in prices came, it was the

tetail dealers who carried the load. The mami-

acturers and jobbers were hit hard, it is true,

ut they were in many cases short on supplies

nd their loss, while heavy, was not in propor-

Eon to the small retail dealer's. In spite of this

tell known fact the retail merchant has not only

ot come in for any special consideration, but as been heaped with a lot of unmerited abuse.

How many times one has run across such

tatements as, "wholesale prices have come

own but the 'retail dealers do not seem to have

bund it out?" We have met with this statement

h trade journals and business reviews of weekly

nd daily papers. It has appeared so often that

xany have accepted it as true. Yet if any pur-

hasers of family supplies will compare the

rices paid today and those paid two years ago.

hey will know that it is far from the truth.

During the past year the invoice price of

oods on the shelves of the retail merchant has een reduced from 20 to 40 per cent. On a $20,-

100 stock this means a loss of from $4,000 to

8,000. It means that the merchant has taken loss of that much on his goods. Is it any woner that many merchants have been forced to

Jhe wall.

What is more, the overhead cost of doing usiness is greater than it was before the war.

Vages of help has not fallen to that of the pre

war period. Rents in many cases are higher,

nd fuel and lights are higher. All these things

ombine to make.the retail merchant's path any-

hing but a rose strewn highway.

If help comes to the farmer, indirectly it ill come to the merchant, but in the meantime

;e is struggling to keep the business world afloat y making sacrifice sales and taking his loss without any hue and cry. So just remember the acal merchant has his troubles and is still your

riend that he is doing his share to bring about

ktter conditions and help the old world back

nto its feet. It will take time, but we believe things are lightly on the upgrade and if everyone will do is part and go to work all will be well. Pros

perity will not come to a few. It must come to

all and the man who insists on excessive wages while condemning the merchant who is trying to save his business life, is hot going to profit by his stand. Manson, Iowa, Journal.

WHAT IS THE TEST? On scales in public places set there to entice a penny in exchange for which one will be informed more or less accurately of one's weight usually there is, a table stating what is the average weight, considering height. In other instances weights are graded according to age as well as height. Should one be easily impressionable and find that weight is less than height would indicate as desirable, it would be liable to create a fear that one is not quite fit. There is a general feeling that if one is gaining in weight one is gaining in health also. The converse is supposed to have the contrary effect. Underweight is thought to be especially undesirable.

A writer speaks of this idea as the "great underweight delusion." He contends that weight has little to do with health, that heredity may have much to do with making people slender and wiry, that it is just as normal to be thinner than the average as it is for others to meet requirements of the average. The proposition which is laid down appears to have reason as its basis . Trying to measure all people by the same standard is much like trying to measure a bushel of wheat with a yard stick. It does not meet the conditions. There are thin persons, short persons, tall persons, fat persons. If there is a normal it is an average of the extremss, but it does not follow that one who is average is better developed physically than another who departs somewhat. Some people cannot take on much flesh no matter how hard they try. By nature they are spare. There are more accurate tests of one's condition than any compiled table of averages.

WHEN WEST BEATS EAST. The largest university in the world is not Columbia University, but the University of California. For all ordinary purposes this information is about as interesting to most people as it is to .know in what country the tallest man in the world lives. Incidentally it may be remarked here that the individual who now claims this distinction hails from France. From the point of view of sectional pride it will be gratifying to all those who call themselves Westerners to know that at last a Western school has beaten out an Eastern one in the race for highest enrollment. Columbia claimed the honor with an enrollment of 32,420 sturents ; whereupon the University of California marshalled her student army to the strength of 43,266 recruits of all kinds. The figures are misleading if they convey to the reader the idea that there are lounging about Columbia University class rooms on any given day 32,420 students, and 42,266 in the U. of C. class rooms. Many of .these are so-called extension students; they may never go near the school in which they are enrolled; they are not students of the school in the sense in which high school student is a part of his school. Hundreds of university faculty men deliver lectures in towns remote from the school with which they are connected, and if the lectures form a series the thousands of people who attend them are summarily called university students. The University of Californa reports nearly 23,000 such students. Thus it will be seen that the actual number of students on the Berkeley campus on any given day this week is much less than the published total enrollment. Columbia reports 19,953 such extension students. But even though there is no possibility of making an exact comparison, we shall probably have to concede that the University of Cali

fornia carries off the honors for largest enrollment this year. From the point of view of enrollment the Eastern schools Ipng held first place. Then came the great universities of the Middle West to nose out all but Columbia, and now even this school has had to give way to another in the far West. Westward, it seems, the course of foot ball takes it way.

SOCIALISTS SUN SETTING. Now it develops that the so-called "LaborFarm" movement was merely an effort of the Socialists to get back on their feet. All of the more decent of the Socialists abandoned the party during the war. The best of the laboring classes have refused to follow the lead of Plum, Howat and Foster. The radical Socialists and the radicals in the labor unions, finding themselves without a very considerable followng, have tried to make a show of forming an alliance with the farmers, but not a dirt farmer, would have anything to do with them. A few professional paper farmers attended the conference at Chicago, but no one took them seriously. Socialism can't get back to its former strength by any subterfuge that can be devised.
