SHYLOCK JAPAN. If Japan keep on claiming her pound of flesh at the peace table. untuned to the spirit of the times. she will do so at her own ribk, and may yet get kicked out. The world is not quite ready to exchange even the "Hun" for a "yellow peril." Japan was admitted to the conference on terms of equality with America. Uritain, France and Italy. This was the greatest compliment ever paid to the Japanese
government and people, it was tacit recognition of what Japan has yo long coveted recognition as an equal with the leading representatives of western civilization. The other powers have gone about the business of making peace and establishing a world league in a notably generous and unselfish spirit. No finer example of national altruism h is, ever been revealed than the voluntary agreement of Britain. France. Italy and the rest of the allied group to surrender their individual claims to conquered German colonies and accept a mere "mandate" to govern them under the authority and direction of the League of Nations. Japan alone has balked. Sh has balked in spite of the fact that when she took Kiao-Chau, the German rtronghold in China, and the German islands of the. Pacific, she expressly stated that she had no Intention of keeping them. Now Japan is not only Peking to break her own word, but in doing so is threatening the success of the biggest and most desirable achievement of the peace conference. Her general attitude toward China also arouses grave suspicions and forebodes trouble. Japan pleads that those German possessions were premised her, In a recent treaty made with other allied powers during the war. .Maybe they were. But the other allies are idealistic enough to forego the advantages of special treaties, made when the fate of the world hung in the balance, in order that they maysucceed In setting up guarantees of permanent peace a.id justice. Is Japan less civilized than the white nations she is associated with? Are her line professions and nobleutterances of no more worth than Germany's, when put to the tct? If so, the sooner the world finds it out. the better. Then Japan can take her place on the outside, while united civilization goes on its way ignoring her. Her fato rests with herself.

of Influence on both sides. "The cry of "Ravished Belgium" and the "Lusitanla Murder" gave a tinge of humanitariani.m to the allied cause, but It was not until the United States entered the arena, echoing selfishness and disclaiming all hope of monetary reward., that anything like real, high purpose rose above the horizon. Immediately the fight turned to one of making right, might, instead of might, right; of making the world safe for democracy arid against autocracy; of the eternal overthrow of military despotism. Here wer Ideals to fight for, and not only America, but all the .tilled peoples, save the bolshevik in Russia, rallied to the new call. It is what converted the conflict from "a rich man's war and a poor man's nght," Into a universal battle on the part of both rich and poor, to advance the cause of humanity. A year ago last month, Pres't Wilson, representing the American people, outlined at International request, a program to be worked out, which he believed would practicalize the ideals for which the allied world was fighting, and the world again took hope, renewed its energies, and drove on to the November victory. Chief among the fourteen points In that program was the demand for a League of Nations to Enforce Peace, the other thirteen points converging into iL It was not new nor original with the president, nor a partisan pronunclamento, his predecessor, ex-Pres't Taft, having long espoused such a league, and continuing one of its strongest supporters. It is the- proposed constitution of .that League that the senate is now getting ready to wrangle over; that Sens. Borah, Poindexter, Cummins, Reed, Vardaman, and others, have discovered all of a sudden, now that the war .a won, to be so dangerous. There can be no other answer but that, in the interests of something, they would cheat soldier and civilian alike, who have sacrificed in this war, out of the fruits of victory' fulfillment of the Ideals for which
their real fight was made. We do not wonder that Sen. r.orali has refused to meet the president at the white house. Such a shallow-brained, braying ass. would no doubt feel notoriously un-at-home, in the presence el truth, and right, and Justice. He must be afraid of the wiping away of his camouflage. God is both kind and cruel. By putting it Into his head to stay away from the white house, he has saved him the indignity of having to feel the immensity of his smallness, while leaving him at large to champioa a lost hope, and discredit himself in the eyes of the American people, and of the world, as an international traitor to humanity and peace.

Lost motion is something that has been occupying the attention of scientists for sometime. Lost motion may be defined as much unnecessary movement of persons and things in the accomplishment of some particular task or duty. In the construction of machinery, the maker devotes much attention to the avoidance of lost motion in the operation of the machinery. There was a time when lost motion was caused principally by ignorance upon the part of persons generally. However, today, there is one profession whose members cultivate
Getting the Most Out of Life
Ity Bishop Samuel Fallows.
WHY WO I IKY? The word "worry" originally meant "strangle." Worry strangles health, causing indigestion, causing "nerves," causing insomnia. Worry strangles efficiency; the worrier is unable to concentrate thinks always of two things at once, his worry as well as his work. Worry strangles faith; by habitually worrying, you undermine your trust in Provi
dence. Needless to add, worry stran- j gle happiness. And when happiness!

PEACE AND PLAYGROUNDS. Th Playground Association and Horticultural society of Ottawa, Ont., have united in a movement to establish purr playgrounds in all the chief cities of Canada. The- playgrounds or parks will bo primarily places for 11 1 youngsters to have a good time. They v.-il! lf equipped with niocit-rn playground apparatus and will have all the facilities for the favorite summer and winter sport-". Th- recreation feature, however, is only one of the purpovs of the new parks. They are to be peace memorials as well, serving as centers for annual peace celebrations and containing memorials which will fittingly record ?ome of the benefits of peace. It is u happy idea to link the health and joy of children with the promotion of lasting peace. The children who play in tho.-e parks and who learn there home cf the meaning of peace will be better able to carry forward the ideals of our civilization for which their fathers and brothers fought this war.
THE SENATE "COPPERHEADS" AND THE "LEAGUE OF NATIONS." It need not be surprising that such a motely aggregation of anti-administration "copperheads" as Seny. Borah, Poindexter, Cummins, Vardaman and Reed (the last two democrats), should in their determination to light to a finish, everything for which Pres't Wilson stands, intent upon gratifying their personal and
political peeves, t-hould refuse to await the president's
THE BIGGEST LOAN. Sec'y of the Treasury Carter Glass wants congress to raise the authorization for the Victory Liberty loan to $10,000,000,000 and to permit the treasury to determine what part of this sum should be sold. To people who thought that with the signing of the armistice all need for conservation of resources and lending money to the government was at an end, this news is somewhat of a blow. It can hardly be stated too often or in too definite terms that the money from each previous Liberty loan was spent before it was received. Uncle Sam had to have the money, net for future purchases, but to pay for purchases already made. This may not really be the last loan needed. The war is not all over yet. But the hopeful aspect is that 4
the future necessary expenditures arc to be nothing like what they would have been had the war gone on. And the more generously we dig down and hand out to Uncle this time the less we will need to proviJj before we get through. It Is also wise to remember that these bonds are simply our promise to pay ourselves back out of our own future earnings. Unless we begin at once to work harder to increase production all along the line we will have trouble meeting these obligations. Pay and work; work and pay!

OIUI-XTOILS TWO KINDS. (Indiana in Iis TinK"s.) Since the beginning of the world's greatest war there have been two kinds of objectors, conscientious and unconscientious. The conscientious objectors have consisted of various types from the lower strata of humanity in this country, ranging from college professors down to misled morons. In the makeup of most conscientious objectors there was sincerity. Although the paving of hades is made of such material a man Is entitled to his credit for sincerity when he has nothing else to boast of. Conscientious objectors include those who oppose all wars as contrary to the spirit of Christ; those who oppose war because they are physical cowards and fear for their own carcass; and those brethren of long hair or long haired minds who believe that all wars are waged between two opposing capitalist groups at the epense of the workers. Such objectors, blind to history and to the great truths of their own day should, to say the least, be put where they will not interfere with the functioning of a government that has a great task t perform. As to what disposition finally should be made of them is something on which opinions may differ. There is another objector the unconscientious kind. There are few morons In this latrtr group; few long
fession Is that of the barber. Anyone who gets shaved and has his hair cut in an up-to-date, moaernly appointed tonsorial establishment will testify to the truth of this statement. For instance, an average barber will spend two-thirds of his time in shaving a victim In running his fingers over the face of the victim, the fingers of the operator straying most generally to that part of the victim's face where the hair was not intended by nature to grow. The ordinary barber usually starts his instrument at the top of the right side of the victim's face and proceeds in a downward course to a point opposite the mouth. This point Is reached by a series of more or less jerky movements upon the part of the hand holding the instrument, which is invariably a razor. After the point on the right side of the face opposite to the corner of the mouth is reached, the razor goes off at an angle toward the chin, then veers downward to the throat, gliding over that part of the body without making much impression on the hirstute growth. The operation is duplicated on the other side of the victim's face and throat, except that the razor goes in an upward course against the grain of the beard instead of with it. Then after the barber has gone over all the face once begins the lost motion. His fingers stray around the nose, below the eyes and around the ears, giving a peculiar
sensation all the time. The lingers of the barber are supposed to be searching for hair that has been missed by the razor in its first trip. But before the barber begins his fingering process, which is followed by a second voyage of the razor over the victim's face, a series of the hottest towels imaginablo are placed over the face, including the nose, completely shutting off the breathing process of the man in the chair. Sometimes this towel process is repeated twice before the "second over" is begun, and it Is a verypoorly regulated barber shop these days that does not include a hot towel treatment as a first step in the
shaving process. After the "second over" is completed with its attending finger movements on barren places comes some more hot towels, again completely shutting off the act of breathing. After that there is some more fingering, supposedly in search of hair that has been missed under the ears, below the eyes or inside the victim's mouth, but long years of watchful experience has failed to witness one time where a barber
ever found one hair that he had missed, not because the hair had not been missed, tut because the barber's fingers never stop long enough to find it. After that comes the witch hazel in more or less quantities applied to the patient's face. This is supposed to be a counter irritant to tho effects left by the razor. Then comes a few minutes of heavy wiping and drying, then some more fingering and then some powder. Then some more fingering follows the powder. Then the powder must be wiped off, and this wiping is followed by some more finger movements from the barber. These finger movements continue to the end of the seance, the fingers touching heavily or lightly that part of the face never intended by nature to be a hair growing base, the heaviness or liL'htnes depending entirely upon the physical construction of the particular barber. Then the process comes to an end with a parting lingering finger movement from the barber as he smoothes down the eyebrows of the victim and runs a finger into his right ear to complete the lost motion. c- J- C.
clination toward worry'- ou can worry even about worrying. Says the dolefully amusing Jingle: "I've joined the new Don't WorryClub, And now I hold my breath, I am so worried for fear I'll worry, I'm worried most to death." I have known preachers who layawake Saturday night worrying about what they were going to siy, and lay awake Sunday night worrying about what they had said. As loss of sleep unfitted them to saynothing of anything worth while on Sunday, they had plenty to worry about that night and made sure of . "blue Monday." The new week, instead of beginning restfully, began In such a way as to redouble their capacity for worrying. During the Russo-Japanese War, a Jap sent home this account of a most Illustrative incident: "We could see the Russians advancing. They came nearer. And nearer still. Then our officers commanded us to lie down and take a short nap. We slept five minutes, after which the officers woke us, and we pitched Into the Russians furiously and won. Easy! They were fagged and worried. We were refreshed." The worrier distresses himself about. something ahead and, by distressing himself, destroys his ability to play the man when he comes to it. What folly! What needless. Inexcusable folly! I find rare wisdom in the well-known confession of the philosopher who said. "In the course
of a long life. I have had many troubles, most of which never happened." I find as much wisdom or more in the old Quaker's remark, "Two things thee must not worry about, the things .thee can't help and the things thee can." For the sake of your health, your efficiency, your happiness your character, even banish worry. It moves in what the doctors call a vicious circle; the worse its effects on health and efficiency and happiness and character, the stronger grows the worry' that produces those
effects. Round and round, this goes. You must break that vicious circle. , If you are worrying about a thing ; you can help, kill worry by buckling j down man-fashion, tackling it at once, and succeeding. If you are j worrying about a thing you can't , help, kill worry by taking better care of your health, by deliberately , concentrating upon the serious business of life, by seeking the wholesome amusements that shut out w-or-ry and by exerting your faith in ' what the great Teacher said: "Take no anxious thought of the morrow." You are far from convinced that you go it alone here below. Then why worry? Why act as if you were holding two Jobs at once your own and hat of Providence? You know j in your heart it is not so.

ternational case, before .centering their tire upon the proposed constitution for the League of Nations. Neither need it be surprising, if God in his infinite wisdom, took away the leadership of these "copperheads" in their opposition to the league, the late Theodore Roosevelt, whose last dictated words, published after his death, are now finding voice through other poisdned tongues, on the tloor of the United Stater senate. In dealing with the Hun, it seems a.s though Providence may have sickened at the sight of the battlefields, employed in the evolution of His eternal plans, and have chosen to rt sort to milder methods in removing further obst.icles in the way of establishing His world p-ace program. It is st-nsole.-v aniTMiypocritical to t:Jk about "what God hath wrought" in the concluiun of hostilities if out of it is not to come a plan cf maintaining peace, for which those who died fought, and all the allied world suffered. God is not a hypocrite, and doubtful if he cares a whale of a lot about the chicaneries of political parties, savo to interfere, now and then, in Providential way, with their becoming a menace. That is one of the unlikene-ses between God and S-n Borah. Poindexter, Reed, Vardaman, Cummins
run by somebody else by democrats. These objectors are secretly glad when mistakes are made in the ru lining of the war, for that gives them occasion for reproaching those who run the war. These objectors are sick at heart that they can't have the credit for the great accomplishments for America and the world resulting from the war, but gfaM at heart that they will not be held to an accounting for any bad results. All during the war these unconscientious objectors have derided the president, belittled his greatness, snickered at his cabinet.' heckled his assi&LatUs, hunted Haws in the way the war was being conducted, prostituted the talents of cartoonists and writers In a campaign of infamy against him and have done all these things, not in sincerity or in visionary ignorance of the truth, but maliciousJy and In violation of the laws of war. The vicious pro-German has been Interned. The anarchist and the I. W. V. have been sent to prison. The Intellectual has been hushed. Rut the unconscientious objector, fat, rich, educated, has been permitted to keep his freedom and to spread his scandal and libel. He has hindered the progress of the war far more than all of the activities of the German spy and the conscientious objector. Yet he has remained bombproof, arrest-proof and waxed fat. If any criticism of Pres't Wilson is justified at all it ii that he has been too lenient with the unconscientious objector the kind who wave the banners of righteousness and unfurl the gonfalons of virtue and practice deceit behind them.
