In letters it is sending all over th; country it urj:e every community, no matter how larp or how small it may le, to piit forth It? hest effort to make that region ;i better place to live in. "We need .in Immediate and continuous ami thorough campaisrn that represents and enlists very interest and organization, every man, woman and child In the community. In a crusade of cleanliness, thrift and civic pride, and their practical application." Xeat yard, clean streets, every tin can and scrap of waste pv.per disoo.-ed of properly instead of Wt to clutter up the landscape, are only the simplest aim of the clean tip campaign. Heprurs on houses, larns and fences, as well as all kinds of improvement? on public buildings and park., call for energetic, thorough wirk and thv earnest cooperation of everybody in the neighborhood. Incidentally, the fullest carrying' out of such a campaign will mea.j more opportunities for employment In any community. Carpenters, masons, tinners, painters, pardeners, etc., will be in jrveat demand for a considerable period. The Improved appearance of the town will be closely followed by Improved health and prosperity.

NEW IDEA FOR AjlBOR DAY. A very happy npccstlon comes from Sec'y Houston, who proposes that the tt'fes planted on Arbor day shall each be named for some local lad who died in th Kreat war. The further sucirestion i.made that the celebration usually confined to schools should be more public in character, the townspeople Joining with the children In appropriate Ceremonies of planting and naming trees. The observance of Arbor day has come to be almost national in character, and the adoption of this MiCt'stinn would ni'-iinhat thousands of young men who laid themselves down in the springtime 'f their lives, to keep this world a safe and beautiful place fsr the growth of mankind. tvouM each have :i hi special memorial that .turdiet and lest loved of growing things a tree. (Snivc and he.nlstone, monuments of lifeless granite anil of marble, say only, "He is dead " "H lives!" nays the tree, "lie- lives in nie; nukinc hicountry more beautiful, protecting his fellow-men. growing strong with the eais and niclb'winu' sweetly into age." Surely Arber b:y ho'ild hate new m-anin. wiib r obsTance this veir than i ver bcfor-.

gr.mi of political and economic reconstruction, vritimr Into tlie country's laws and Institutions the ruo-t ac: -pt.-ilde features that socialism h id to offer. Thevo sociilins have sieeer (f.. remarkably becauo tb.ey did not scare or antagonize the general public, 'iiid Ixcauw thy attempted no 111-tlmeJ 'revolution." but fitted their reformK. one by one. easilv -tnd naturally, to the existing system, until that system itself, little by little, was trans-formrd. It Is in this wry that whatf-ver is worth while in socialism will succeed, if it ever succeeds, and this fact tho American radicals ignore, to their country'? annoyance and their own undoing. Their present efforts cannot win. Thi I? not Itussia. but America. That "left wing" .o far :- in rejy beating the air. If it begins to appear a real menace, it will be clipped.

UNIONIZING THE MIDDLE CLASS. A tli rob of sympathy stirs the salaried people of this country at the news that the English middle class ban unionized in nelf-U fence. Salaried peupl" everywhere .are tirel of workiag at a dead level while labor, capital and prjees all pass them, each waving its brtnnur with tho strange device. "Excelsior:" Still, they really have only themselves to blame. Their condition arises f:om their failure to use for their own benefit and that of others ;i rcat power which they already possess the power of clear, unbiassed thought. For who are t!i middle classes theso salaried people? They are the thinkers of the world. The clerks, the doctors', the lawyers, the teachers, the preachers, the great mass of educated people. They have been reared to read, to think, trained in faithfulness to duty and ideals. Having neither tho selfish fear? of capital nor the long bitterness of labor, they should be free from the prejudices and passions of either. And there are millions of them. This great body trained to thought and speech Is better equipped than any other to mold public opinion and direct public affairs, and always has been. Put it has been asleep to its own selfish interest?, as the best equip; ed to do usually are. In its sudden awakening to power i? danger not only for itself, but for all society, for this cool, clear-thinking middle class is the central balance which upholds the see-saw of the world. It must hold the world steady if it Is to be held at all. If instead of sub', erting their power to selfish personal end?, these middle-class folk will use it as it can be used, to force a proper adjustment of the affairs of all classes, all will be well. Otherwise we shall all jro down together.

BOLSHEVIK SCHOOL CHILDREN. If all that the correspondents say about it Is true, which we doubt, the children In Itussia are going to school Just the way that children have thought they wanted to go since the lirst ?chool was organized. Their idea of a millennium is at hand but what an idea? If the children do not like their teacher they dismiss him. If they are holding a "committeemeeting" when ho arrives he must not disturb them. When lunch time comes there is a stampede; for thu first one in the lunch room Is the first one served, and food is scarce. "Teacher" can say never a word, for he must not interfere with the rights of the Individual. . There Is no punishment. Attendance is not compulsory, and there are no marks. Oh joy! But are these children really happy? Any one who knows anything about children knows that they are not. The child may hate rigidity, but he love? the comfortable background of law and order just the same. The undisciplined, insolent child Is never the happy one. And with this lawless present, what of their future, and of the future of our children who mtiFt contend with the results of that lawlessness In !ater years? The problem of the Russian school children Is the problem of the world.

Surely this "encephalitis lethargica" can't be such a new disease, iots of people's brains have been asleep right alon.

Olli PAKT IX WORLD ST III FI-:. (DcartHrii In!cionikiit.) A student of history, retracing our nation' career sance its first planting in America, has made the discovery that of all the greater wars fought since 1 ".'" the j ear of Pilgrim landing the people of the United States have escaped but two. While we were yet Pritish colonies. It was impossible for us to escape entanglement In wars which Involved ill" eat Ih itain; but even after we ceased to be colonies we found it equally difficult, as indeed it increasingly became impossible, to escape entanglement, for the ?imple reason that we were a part of the human race. This fact that we never have been free of entanglement with the misfortunes or blessings of humanity is a suitlcient answer to the critiicsm o!t"eied against tho proposed con&litution of the League of Nations that it will involve us in future war.-. We nearly always have been Involved one way or another. We always shall be. Until we adopt some method of preventing wars entirely, and this method Is offered u in t ho League of Nations. I'nfortunately, our newspapers and general educatio:...1 programs do not Inform tho people of the extent to which circumstances have drawn us Into world affairs; or. if here and thre the information is given, then the interpretation is neglected. Has it orenrred to th- critics of the learne that the Prated States claimed and gained representation at the Algeclrr? conference whereat the great world war was foreshadowed? The conference followed upon the kaiser's first world threat, nnd the United States was th re! We were sentimentally involved In the Poer war. . were otfeially involved In the Huso-Japanese war. Our troops s'ormed Pekln In the lloxcr troubles. Yo were inoived by Spanish maladministration in the Wt st Indies. lbs u Iren forgotten that the United States forced Japan to open to tho world, became China's friend, an! deoted lives and treasure to freedom in the Mediterranean and alon? the north African coast? A r. view of United Suitrs history with reference to our foreign rlntions shows tli.tt our "splendid Notation" has been rather imaginary more goo -graphuat th.n political. And Ju?t as th progress of the world hts oerconu' cur geographical Isolation, vo lias it made :i .po-sIMe o ir political isolation. S.r.ie, then, we are forced into the world arena, it is our ddty to that it is a ?afe arena, influenced by Ann rioaii ideals. The I .Ague of Nations the im predion of American ideals on world a air. It is America helping to clean up the world in which she is compelivJ to tear her part.

The Melting Pot COME! TAKIi POTXCCS WTTII U

Tlie sun was up wlren they reached tlie Cedars. Katherlne had gone to her room. The coroner had left. Pobinson and Graham had built a fresh fire In the hall. They sat there, talking. "Where ou been?" Robinson demanded. "We'd about decided the spooks had done for you." The detective outlined their failure. The district attorney listened with a frown. At the end he arose and .without saying anything, walked to the telephone. When he returned he appeared better satisfied. "Mr. Paredes," he said, "will have to be a slick article to make a clean getaway. And I'm bringing another man to keep reporters out. They'll know from How ells' murder that Mr. Blackburn didn't die a natural death. If reporters get in don't talk to them. I don't want that damned foreigner reading in the papers what's going on here. I'd give my job to have him in that chair for live minutes now." Graham cleared his throat.

"I scarcely know how to suggest thi, since it Is sufficiently clear, because of Howells' suspicions, that you have Mr. Illackburn under close observation. Put he has a fair idea of Paredes' habits, his haunts, and

his friends in New York. He might be able to learn things the police couldn't. I've one or two matters to take me to town. I would make myself personally responsible for his return " The district attorney interrupted. "I see what you mean. Walt a minute." He clasped his hands and rolled his fat thumbs one around the other. The little eyes, surrounded by puffy flesh, became enigmatic. All at once he glanced 'up with a genial smile. "Why not? I haven't said anything about holding Mr. Blackburn as more than a .witness." His tone chilled Bobby as thoroughly as a direct accusation would have done. ."And," Robinson went on, "the sooner jou go the better. The sooner you get back the hotter." Graham was visibly puzzled by thin prompt acquiescence. He started for tho stairs, but the district attorney waved him aside. "Coats and hats are downstairs. No need wasting time." Graham turned to Doctor Groom. "You'll tell Miss Perrine, Doctor?" The doctor showed that he understood the warning Graham wished to convey. The district attorney made a point of walking to the stable to see them off. Graham gestured angrily as they drove away. "It's plain as the nose on your face. I was too anxious to test their attitude toward you. Bobby. He jumped at the chance to run us out of the house. He'll have several hours during which to turn the place upt-nde down, to give Katherine the third degree. And we can't go back. We'll have to see it through." "Why should he give me a chance to slip away?" Bobby asked. But before long he realized that Robinson was taking no chances. At the junction of the road from Smithtown a car picked them up and clung to their heels all the wa to the city.

"Rawlins must have telephoned." Graham said, "while we went to the stable. They're still playing Ho

wells game. They'll give you plenty of rope."

He drove straight to- Bobby's

apartment. The elevator man veri

fie4 their suspicions. Robinson had

telephoned the New York police for

a search. A familiar type of metropolitan detective met them in the hall outside Bobby's door.

"I in through, gentlemen," he

greeted them impudently.

Graham faced him in a burst of

temper.

Ihe city may have to pay for

this outrage." The man grinned.

"I should get gray hairs about

that." Ho went on downstairs. They

entered the nartment to find confusion in each room. Bureau drawers had been turned upside down The desk had been examined with reckless thoroughness. Graham was frankly worried. "I wonder if he found anything. If he did you won't get out of town." "What could he find?" Bobby asked. "If the court was planted." Graham answered, "why shouldn't these looms have Icen?" "After last night I don't believt the court planted," Bobby said. In the lower hall the elevator man handed Bobby the mail that had come pinre the night of his grandfather's- murder. In the car p train lie glanced over tlie envelopes. He tore one open with a surprised haste. "This is Maria's hind writing." htold Graham. He read the hastily scrawled note aloud with a tone that failed tow.,1 the end:

They ftood before Justice of the 1 Peace A. W. Hosinski. the man and t woman, holding each other's hands, ; for were they not to be married just j as soon as the Justice could say the j magic word? j I The .Justice sat behind his desk, j looking stern, as justices of the ! peace are supposed to look on occa- I sions of such moment, to two per- j sons at least. i The justice got all ready to per- I form the ceremony. He arranged) the books and papers on his desk,! tu-. -1 V.l.. I .... n I

aiiu men uie ma . ii.ui ii' a. tunc closer. Then the justice stood up. and the man and woman thought that he was about to begin to make them one, as . some say man and wife are. "Five dollars please." the man and woman heard come from the lips of the Justice. That did not sound anything like what they had been led to believe were the words of the marriage ceremony. "What do you mean, five dollars?" asked the man. "It costs five dollars to get married In this court," said the justice. "Well, honey, I reckon we'll have to put this off a little longer," said the man, turning to the girl. "I reckon so." agreed the girl. The justice looked over at the opposite wall so as not to embarrass the man and girl, but hanging right in front of him was a calendar, and right away he saw what day it was.

"I'll just do a little fooling on my

own account, mused the justice to himself. Aloud he said:

. "Take hold of each other's hands." The Justice then began to read

something out of a book. It ended with:

"I pronounce you man and wife." "And I'm going to fool you, too,"

continued the justice as he extended his hands to the newly-madi: bride

and groom

"You don't owe me a cent," he

ended as he looked at the calendar which registered April 1.
