If it can. Party leaders, moreover, are encouraged to remember the very important fact that about onethird of the voters in the t'nited States are no longer tied definitely to either party, but fluctuate oetween the two in national elections, accordingly as one party or the other happens at the time to stund for what they want done In national affairs. It is this big bulk of' non-partian voters which' determines that Intangible but potent thin:; called national opinion, and which will decide the present issue regard less of the personal views of the United States sciu'.ors. Besides it is more than pfohahlo that echoes from the present controeisy will be carried over into 110 national campaign next year regardless of the present subsidence of opposing noises. It will go hard in that campaign with any party that dors not do what the majority of oters want done this year. The politicians know that, and this is why. even in the midst of the furious senatorial debate over the peace treaty, thov have btvn keeping their cars to the ground, listening to what they have been h"arir.. in disapproUns tor.es.

THE MENTAL DEFECTIVES. The T'nited Stater, nublie health service has col!atorated with the children's bureau In a vtudy of mental defetl"e! in a. county 0 Ielaware. The tindfn?? are such as to make ven the most heedless of easy-isoing: Americans sit up end think. The pamphlet Just Issued is depressing reading Story after story of vice, immorality, pover V. hlth S3 told until the reader is inclined to feel despair creeping over him. But the general conclusions and recommeräations for prevention and arc of this state of thinjrs tum a. more hopeful liht upoti the case. . There are ä good many grades of mental lefectives. Fome of thes afe able, with a litt I - super

vision, to do work which will make them self-sup-

portinjr. Some are entirely helpless. Between Xhvs extremes are some who need institutional cfre. and omt' who need only varying degrees of supervi-

non.

The modern stat institution recommended by the pamphlet Includes a department of custodial care for low-grade casts demanding constant attention, a school where intensive, specialized teaching is done to develop mental ptuverc to the fuliet pos

sible extent, an industrial department for train- 1

ing In useful wer!;, and a farm. Farm work helps the mental defective to develop and i!p.ut hlmrelf. and the farm will help support the institution. The presence of ferbb -minded children ;.t large In the community i - a constant m na e to society. In school they wa: te the time of the teat her and normal children, because the r-re a constant nurce of disorder and they require a different kind of teachinir. Ix-a inp them there does theru no ood, and does the normal children harm. For their own sake and for that ot" the community, defectie should be discoered anl sorted out in early childhood. They .should re,M e special cae and supervision, so that the most may i made of their small powers, and a check be placed on .he breeding of dt-fective stork.

PEACE WITHOUT EXCITEMENT. Perhaps you noticed it, hut participation in a siitn'd pence was nowhere near as exciting as th anticipation. Strar.re, . but the great ( Umax, contantly awaited since the armistice when we ill run riot, has caused almost no Excitement. Imleed. yes. th war is actually over- Germany has actually and unconditionally surrendered and rot only to the allies, hut to a I.eaRiie ot Nations bigger than the alius, incorporated into the peace treaty to enforce th covenants. The Ktorm which has kept the world in upheaval for upwards of five y-.irs has spent itself, and subject to ratiication by the United State: senate, peace is here. It is a time for thought, for attention and deep gratitude. Life which for so long has turn?d upon the proteoses of destruction can become onc-v more the life which build.- and develops. Nobody can say that this peace will last forever. Nobody onn hup-1 that in a day or a month the world will hae settled down to its steady forward progress. But one thing is certain. P.e the business ccbbling or banking, housekeeping or running the woman suffrage party, the more swiftly and completely ah individual makes his personal reaJJurtment :ind sets about his normal affairs the rnor quickly will the affairs of the whole v. orld become normal Before we turn our backs finally, however, upon the greatest war in history, it might be worth while 10 do a little remembering of what the "w ir has meant. It will m.'ke peace seem more wonderful. more earnestly to be desired and more curtfullv presrv ed. So cling to the ideals that have been fought for Miring the war. and the main features of which ideals, have been written into the peace, r.t least is to the fundamentals for the future to make Kood. The machinery is there. The peace, ard the League of Nation:; woven into it. is a foundation upon wnich to build, and that is enough.

The advice of army experts would carry more weight if there were discoverable, anywhere in the world, an army officer who didn't want a larger army.

It's a good thing not to over-eat in hot weather. but some faddists don't eat enough to resist the heat.

Hail to the safe and sane, non-alcoholic Fourth!

Other Editors Than Ours

WHO WANTS Hl'SSIA? ( mai born IimIoih'ihIc-iiI.) A well known American writer, of considerable skill in analyzing foreign al'fiirs, draws a dismal picture of the future of Russia. His theory is that Admiral Kolchak, being recognized by the allies, will be permitted to get the country well in hand, subdued, pacified and back to Its fields; then the allies are to kick the props out from under Admiral Kolchak, and diide Kussia between them. Britain is to get the oil wells, and so on. It is possible. m Anything is possible, based on human greed and th" chance of making something. It Is difficult to .believe, however, that the Inhabitants of Britain. France. Italy and Belgium are -e;:lly so very different from the inhabitants of Kansas, Maine and California. There may be grasping minds which permit themselves to meditate on labulous international thievery. Hut for the credit of the human race we prefer to helieve that nations. Insofar as they are composed of people, people m'-ch the same as we ourselves, contemplate no such colossal dishonesty. Carving up nussii would he a monumental folly: it would impose on a worried world an everlasting cockpit of bloodshed, disorder and suffering. As Mr. Lloyd Ceorge once said: "It Is easy to go into Russia; it is not so easy to get out again." If the meaning of the writer is not literally taken. and the construction intended is merely "zones of influence." it still remains an amazing misconception of human nature to imapine for one minute that the most conservative of the Russian Liberals would not prefer even bolshevik dictatorship by Russians than .1 benevolent exploitation by alien outsiders. Most calculations and imaginings anent Russia are based on a profound ignorance of Russia and the Russian. Few men really understand that country. And there is more than a sneaking thought that few among the allies really understand each other. There Is not a power tn Europe today that has not so many critical problems to face that nothing but concentrated energy and close-to-home application ot Industry can begin to solve them. To assume, of their own volition, the care and control of a very angry an 1 nerxous wildcat like Iluisia in transition, would have an obvious result. They would get scratched.

Tin: p.r.xr.FiTs or nt.ni.rimzatiov. (New York World.) The happy medium between communism and inli idualism is tin- standardization of production to the extent that ;.U utilities and most comforts of life can be placed reasonably within the reach of every man and woman. The motor car bt.siness was among the tirst industries to sense this fundamental truth, anc1 proved its position in dollars and cents the universal langua ge. One cf the best steps forward that can he nude H to apply this principle of standardization of ptoduct. by grades, to the other things we use and want. The piano is one, but r.t the only instance. Pianos are of all prices and varying quality. It has been said, truly, that a piano has no price; its price ;s what you are asked for it when you go to buy: but the customer has no index, other than a well known name, as to whether that price is up or down. As a matter of fact, prices of pianos range with'n J 100 or so. and even more, of any given figure. The piano is not standardized; her.ee its p'ice is elastic. The talking machine is standardized and graded; you have a set pric?"-. Applied in a large, national way. many splendid economies could 1 e effected, at least for the man of modest means, an l it is possible to ß-o deeper .and apply standardization to living conditions and public works, still leaving choices open as to juality. and so avoiding monotony, but reducing the cost to the consumer by sensible producing methods

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague. LINES TO A DICTATOR. There was once a chesty Kaiser (please note the words was once), Who threw destroying armies out on half a dozen fronts And told them that atrocities were fine victorious stunts. (To find how far he erred see final stanza). He also got to shooting up the ships of Uncle Sam Whose army he averred, was worth about a tinker's dam. "Dose Yankees are as fierce," he said, "as Mary s little lamb." (A line of talk like yours, Senor Carranzal) This Kaiser bragged and blustered as he sat upon his throne, He aaid that old Von Hindenburg could lick the world alone. He said one big encounter in the Western battle zoneOne real hard scrap would just about decide it. And so he gathered liquid flame, and gas and poison plants, And troops and guns and generals, and sent them into France; And. vowing he would gladly stake his throne upon the chance Of one big. slashing, smashing drive he tried it. But when the Hun brigades met up with those same Yankee troops They didn't stop for argument, but merely flew their coops, And toward the castles on the Rhine they looped receding loops. (They fought about as well as Sancho Panza). And now the Kaiser hasn't got a country any more. And presentlty they'll hang him as the author of the war, -And what occurred to him should set a good example for Such chesty lads as you, Senor Carranza.

The Tower of Babel By Bill Armstrong

Jake Heckamun, we learned today, al.incioned his annual mid-summer Ford tour simultaneously with the receipt of word in this city of Prcs't Wilson's refusal to interfere with war-time prohibition. . Quite a number of fairly good beer receipts are floating around the city. We will be glad to assist friends in locating some of these at about ÖÜ cents per location. The Northern Indiana fc Southern Michigan Boot-leggers association will hold a meeting in South Bend this month, so we hear. Our reporters and several other local birds are having quite a little trouble in getting the facts in regard to this convention. Any information from the outside public in this matter will be deeply appreciated. Men are beginning to turn back to their insurance offices, their bakeries, their roofing businesses and other aithities just as if nothing had ha ppened.

We imagine it will be a jolly Fourth in Milwaukee Ir. Lippinoott has informed us he had a chance to uo to Toledo on the Fourth for nothing, if he would agree' to go to the fight. We were unable to locate the doctor's friend to see if he would make us the same sort of a n offer.

We have kept every kind of a reporter busy on the paper many times, the police reporter, the court hr.rse" man. and eve n the guys that cover the morgues, but we swear we neer bothered the society reporters before.

Ceorge Dimel is in New York buying shoes for his new store. We have kept the- wires open to New York ccntinuously since Cleorge left, but we haven't heard of a single death or tragedy of any kind growing out of Oeorge's intentions to open a shoe store of his own in South Bend. We are the least bit disappointed because we felt sure that at least W. L. Douglas would kick the bucket or Mr. Walk-Over would cut his throat when h- learned that (leorge is go

. All diseases are divided into two classes, communicable and noncommunicalde. popularly known as "catching" and ' not catching." It Is of the communicable diseases that I would speak, the diseases that are caused by small animal or I setabJe growths known as parisites or disease germs. They exist on the lhin:r tissues of animals or vegetables. The organism at whose expense they live is called thei.- host. Few diseases are caused hy parasjt(. which we are unal le to see without the assistance of a microscope. We are all familiar with the tapeworm, which is a parasite, as is alst1 the hookworm, the pinworm and the trichina. However, perms as ;i whole are so small that millions of them crowded topether would be invisible to thP naked eye. But with the assistance of a microscope we rind that thhey are everywhere, they are not all carpets, hangings, floating on particle s of dust, and in the water we drink. They multiply very rapidly, if nothing is done to chck their progress. In some types a new generation may appear as often as every bfteen minutes. In view of the danger from these millions of germs one may wonder why the human race has not suecUinbed long ago. Hut. while there are millions of terms, and granted they are- everywhere, they ae not all disease producing germs. In fact while not less than fifteen hundred different kinds of germs are known. there are onh something like seventy-five kinds that are known tQ pmdut e disease. The other fourteen hundred and twenty-rive varietj(.s aro -ood germs." They are working to preserve the human race, S(1 jel us as home nurses take up the ficht with them. Ql'KSTlO.VS AND ANSWERS !
