ONE. DRY MONTH.

On month of prohibition is h.ir-lly f-noup;h to jjdqp nin! r-MiUs hy.

Th NVw York World, which has been strongly against prohibition, remarks; x "It is impnssib to buy whisky unUss you have money. Cocktails are ein ervel in coffee cups- I.are htel- are V-epim; stri'tly to the law, but there is always a place near b . The sainK-s Lanks report tiisin ss about normal, a leading pawn-broker imports a slight improvement. Iomestic strife as reealed in the dorrustb- relations courts continues without armistice. Uel'.evue hospital reports an Increase of rasps in Ihr psychopathic ward for July. 'J'J, mrr July. r.l. other hospitals report little change." upr against thee slU'ht dirouraernents. which itrr ptrfettly natur.il and wore easily to hr foreseen at the outset of prohibition, the New York Tribune reports a. 1. -create of lü percent in crimes ..f all kinds as lOmpated with July, At the ithr ,n1 of ,!u' ountrv. San ,l"rtnci.seo says arrests for drunkenness hae fallen almost to nil. and there is a noücable de t.ms in rime of all kind. Restaurants, ice n-nin iarlors and paxtry shop! report an enormous increase in business. From Chicago comes word thru the most re markable falling off has be-n in the n"mb-r ot non-support complaints. All crimes there except mtirdrrs have cone down. The riots doubtless account lor th" stationary rn'irder record. The inebriate ward at the l'hiladelphia General hospital, which accommodated 2f::?5 cases in 11. clos. d Its doors in July. Hunks report many new MTounts opened by persons of moderate means. Noi.Vi. -ouh. east, west and middle, the balance sheet shows a profit in comfort and happiness over the .luiv of a year auo- ,

PROF. WILSON AND HIS FRESHMAN LAW CLASS AT THE WHITE HOUSE. Pits t Wilson .lid fh- main word, and said it so I lainly that even a Notre lame law freshman vould .-t-artejy have ne-dcd lour it to understand, when he told the smate forrt'cn relations commiltet- upon its visit to the whi'o bovist- Tuesday, that in the tatiticatkm of the pans treaty there could be no onn ted rs rvatinns or interpretations th.it would not be -lual to a total rejection. In othei opH. the t'nited States s'U-.'e oannot cram down c.eim iny's throat, or llnrlana"s throat. ir France's lhroat. or ltalx s throat, or Japan's throat, or any ether throat, its own interpretations, or claim au" particular reservations under a contract that all of ih in have entered inio. and still presume to make ihe contract. It is a prirv-ip',- :" '.aw as ol as the hills; older than American law. obi as common law. and old as eivil law. that one of the fit st requisites of a contract is "a meeting of the minds;'' that is that all the parties thereto ac .pt tht terms thereof in the anv jen, nd the "anua- employed, 'and the -, it cum-ta nets to which it is applied. i the governin.; force in arriving :.t that sense. Sen. l.od;e ehibited less Kal acumen than a law school freshman, wbv.. nl. ! The c 'tion if international law wouldn't interpret s'.br.ce or lack of protest a trains! th- American tes.r ttions or interpretati,,ns. as consent inn to them, and thereby read in C them Into the treaty. Kvery ono of the "bi five" nations, sitrnatory to th- l'ari' treaty, have i alined it except the T'nited States: th so. and CiOi mar.y. Is it sensible to suppor... that the lnt .1 State-- i'V reservations or interpretations can reo', into that treaty things whicli perhaps tti-s.- other ponors have not acreett to1 Such an atteir.pt v ould be the e.juival nt of a new proposal, and not an acceptance of anything, and the Senat, not eit ir a tr- ity-makinc. bv.f onl;n tre.tv-rtitlfyimr jhmvi r in the I'nited States, neither GtrmanN. nor F.ix'.and, nor France. r.r Italy, would reco;niz. it even a a proposal Their only ar.swt r woiil l hae to be thit the I"nitN.l States had rejected tb treaty, and we would still be at war with (1erm:'ny. er.'oirv-' our "sptendid. Isolation." as a belligerent, while the i rher powers Would be at peace. Any ordinary business man knuws that a conditional acceptance of i proposed cot-. tract means a total rejection of it 1 nt rna t irral law is :-.. dift'e. en than any othfr law in that repfct.

M', and separate and jprt from the ratification, that is Us privilege, but the treaty must be left as It stands, subject to j udicinl Interj'retation of its terms only. dse it do. s r.ot stand at all. Think of tho insert ubility of it, should the president, in scn ir.tr and approving a measure passed by th consres. attempt to read into it certain reservations or Interpretation, and ovn supposing the romrress were to remain sib-nt.' Do yu think th courts would hold-that bill, conditionally approved, to have ever become .-. law? No. not even if the president's reservation and interpretations were in complete accord with the plain sense of the law itself which would be nn exact likeness of the senate committee's wanted action. What the committee wants to reserve a: d Interpret Jn the treaty is exactly wh-it the Pari conference. had in mind in framinit it. with but '"o minor, and nonsensical exception. f course, j, wasn't said in the beautifully polished lantruac of Sen. Ix)dKP, or of Sen. Knox, but it was said The country will nu haps eventually; come to see these political pettifoggers, in the litrht that they should be ceen; view them with the contempt that Is due dernacrcMies of their calibre. It is partisanship, and partisanship only that makes them so; partisanship and hate hate and partisanship. And because of these thv xre .villintr to stultify themselves, and stultify the country, and even stultify their party say nothing of stayintr the progress of the world.

SHOWER BATHS ON THE FARM. In view of the statement of Col. Arthur Woods, who is head of the government work of re-employment of d is ha rtrej soldiers and sailors, that 98.2 percent of former farm workers are returning straight to the farm, another report has particular interest. That is the ar. nmmcernent from many quarters that these soldi -r-facmers are demanding im -proved living conditions on the farm. In fact, they re apparently placing shower baths and well ventilated sleeping quarters ahead of h'gh wages in importance. It is said that fully SO percent of the men who have returned to farm work in the Ie'aware Valley are takin? a firm stand for decent and comfortable living quarters with full sanitary equipment. This is going to be a tine thing for the farm of' the future not to mention the farm worker. It would take a smail r percentage than that J0 to bring about radical changes in living conditions in the rural district. It stands to reason that a farmer who puts in shower baths for his hired men is going to do as much for his own family before very lont:. The up-to-date farmer takes excellent care of his livestock and macninery. They are well housed. kept clean and in good condition. It is hiqh tine he made the same provision for excellent care for his workmen, for his faniilv and for himself.

We hear that American dry forces are about to Invatlo the sacred precincts of that right little, tight little ' where every man's home is his castle, and no one has ever questioned his right to beer. What becomes of the self-determination of nations then? A member of the British parliament has suggested that Robert Bridg', the poet laureate, be given 20 casks of canary wine to write n war ode. That's too much. There ore plenty of American poets who will gladlv do it for jne cask.

It is well that the prohibition leaders have decided not to campaign against tobacco. Men ha e got to have some vice, haven't they? And if tobacco were banished, they might take to smokir.g corn silk or chewing garlic or something.

The head of the National Orange says th. farmer is being robbed. The consumer certainly is. It must be a case not of playiug both ends against the middle, but playing the middleman against both ends

The word "ukulele" is said to mean literally '"jumping tlea." That helps us to classify ukulele music and its devotees.

Other Editors Than Ours

MKICTINC; A M i:ACK. (10litor ami IMibltshor.) A vast majority of Americans believe that the system of government under which we live is the i et that has ever been devised by men- We are democrats; we have a democratic government, and we believe that, under that government. and throuth its processes., tery political and economic ill may be cured. We are given, however, to the habit of believing that tliis governmental sstom of ours, which has functioned so splendidly through the long years of ;he republic's life, is s cure from assault from within or without. That belief (io.t infinite credit to our patriotic optimism but it carries with it factors of langer to the democratic ideal. We see the insidious spread of doctrines about Government which are hostile to our established order. We feel a wholesome desire to strangle the propagandists who are engaged in spreading bolshe- ' 1st poison among our laboring classes, cunningly fostering discontent and disloyalty. Rut we do not. after all, arouse ourselves t the fighting pitch- We do not take adequate measures o meet the menace. I'nder present worid conditions, affecting us only in less degree than they äfft et some of our neighbor nations, agitators are boldly preaching the overthrow of our government appealing to organized workers to take over the reins of power and to establish class dictation. Radical socialists, with organs of opinion through which to advocate their dot trines nrt;e revolution. We are tolerant of all this, realizing that' free speech is guaranteed under a democracy and that It is very easy to drift into autocratic policies in dialing with those who abuse that privilege. We should realize that democracy in the T'nited States i under assault. And we should not be too ptone. as its defenders to sdaut our eyes or to turn the other cheek. The menace can be met and defeated in the democratic way. Our newspapers should preach democracy. They should "sell" the democratic ideal all over acain to Americans. They should bring to all our peoplo. particularly to the discontented, a new sene of the value of the ptiitial system under which we have become the greatest nation in the world. They should meet radical doctrines with the doctrines of leason and common sense which are the basm of our national structure. Pemocrr.'"- sho-.'. l ' e adv rtised anew. We must no: rely upon "past performances. "We must keep the fir. s of lojaitv l uitunt: not trust them to be self-pf-rpetuating The way to put an end to a false doctrine is to drag it ir.io tre licht and show its falsity. The newspapers m y drive out bolshevistic senti-m-r.t through showing its utter inadequacy to meet the reeds of the p-op'.e- by showing wlut a pitiable substitute it Is for democratic government. They cannot drive it out av ignoring it. Let us have a real revival of Aaitriciaism in America!

More Truth Than Poetry By James J. Montague.

PROVERBS. You'll gain success at home alone. Who seeks strange seas to cross. Discovers that a rolling stone Don't gather any moss. And that is odd. because, forsooth The wise bird soonest flits. And furthermore, home keeping youth Have ever homely wits. Don't fail to look before you leap. Remember haste makes waste. Be sure, when cliffs are high and steep Your ladder's safely placed. And that is strange, because thin ice With swiftness must be crossed. It is not wise to try things twice. Who h esitates is lost. By taking chances is attained Both fame and goodly pelf, For nothing ventured, nothing gained Is true as truth itself. Snd that is queer, for learned ryhmes Have long informed us all That anyone who never climbs - Can surely never fall. Help other people up the hill; For you will always find One prospers best who bears good will To all of human kind. And that is funny, for but few Great things are ever done Except by prudent persons, who Look out for Number One I (Copyright, 1919).

The Horoscope

ntlDAV, AVG. 22. The sidereal forces for this day are not operating for any pronounced progress. Indeed, it may tequire great determination to overcome thwarting conditions as well as much patience to meet various annoyances and aggravations. The disposition as well as affairs generally must be kept well in hand, and all details should be handled with discretion and prudence. Make no important change, and be captious in all dealings with trthers lest thtr be fraud or deception encountered. Withal there is promise of a lively and interesting day, but a detrimental one unless the above

! precautions be heeded. Those whose birthday it is may , nave a year calling for the exercise j of prudence, caution and sound judg- ( rnent. They should not attempt to p i. i . . i
