SEEING AMERICA. A few years aero some Americans interested In promoting1 the pccnlc or report attractions of the nation evolved the Mosan "See America First." That wb beforo tho war interfered with the. summer exodus to Europe. A?lo from tho 2.000.000 peddlers and others who went abroad "on buslne.-'s," for the last six years our peoplo have been compelled to confine whatever Elchtseelr.p they might do to America. Thus the campaign calling attention to what there 1 to 5eo, in our own land has been preatly aided by force of circum?ances. The bars against European travel hav been lowered, but the facilities for carrying the many who might wish to f-o abroad are likely to prove, woe. fully inadequate. It 1b estimated that it is not posrlble for more than 10?,000 tr obtain accommodations on trana-Atluntie vessels during tlu- coming Feaon. These figures Indicate that European hotelkeepers are likely to be disappointed In the expect'-fl Influx of Am'Tlr.an?, for, while tho number Is conFlderable. it will make little- Imprrssinn when scattered over the lands which the touri.sts are likely to seek. In seeing; America ono Is not necessarily confined to the public facilities provided for travel. It Is possible to po far In one's own conveyance, and last year tens of thousands wandered up and down and across In their own machines. They went where they pleaded and when they f leaped, and many of them carried their own camp outfits and wero Independent of hotels and other public entertalnrrs. More people saw America last year than ever before and there In no reason to doubt that the number will be Increased this summer, for the Koine: habit, onco contracted, is disposed to prow. In many localities tho tourist business Is tho mainstay of the Inhabitants. Florida's annual Income would shrink amazingly were the tourist crop to fall, and the same source contributes heavily to Colorado and the other Rocky Mountain states, not mentioning California or the Atlantic coast resorts. Tho plea lo "See America First" may havo been prompted by those Interested In railroad travel, but the perfection attained In the automobile has made realization possible for many who would never have essayed a Ions trip otherwise. "When facilities aro increased, Americans may acIn ee Europe In greater numbers than ever before, but they will at least have possessed themlves of a knowledge of their own land and ..111 be better able to appreciate the things to be seen ebrcad einco they already have seen America.

IN DARKEST AMERICA. Tangier Island In Chesapeake bay has a unique claim to distinction though tho point on which its fame rests has but recently been made gener-illy known by a tragedy that occurred there. Tangier Island law compels attendance at church on Sunday by all these who do not seclude themselves within their homes. In contradistinction from many other old laws which aro permitted to remain as dead letters this law has been enforced. Only through an attempted violation has this peculiar community Kalned public notice. Non-attendance at religious service is considered a disgrace. Ilene It is maJe a matter of compulsion except to those who remain inside their homes. Thla remarkable ordinance is said to represent the sincere sontlraent of tho old?r roik cf the community as a legitimate method of Instilling religious principle, though th younger people feel that church attendance should be a matter of opinion. A youn man who refused to go inside his homo when requested by an otllo?r to do so, but Insisted on remaining on tho porch, was perhaps fatally shot as the result of the encounter with the offlcer. The defenders cf tho law contend that without it half the con irrt eation would collect around the store porches or ether place of public gathering during church service. Some will have doubts whether the Tangier Iplanders. sincere as they are. are on the right track. At last they havo no Imitators In all this lar.d, probably. Certainly tho unwiüln? attendant would not receive benefit in the same degree as one who goes voluntarily because he horcs to b helped by the service. Compulsion has a tendency to breed perversity. Long ago the plan of converting men to religious belief by th us? of force was abandoned because it was discovered that one converted against 1:1s will Is not likely to be thoroughly converted. Attendance at church 1 commendable and none should neglect the privilege. Because it Is rieht and also helpful to the Individual should be s itHclent motive. The canse of religion his won through its pulllr.f rwer rath r than through lis driving TI IE OLD BUNK AGAIN. revival of the propaganda to get bad; to a EOTrnal -ronorr. ie basis by !"! rlvatl.ms Is another liiustrit'.on of our ec r.o ,. ü'iter.icy.

rathor than use our common sense and locato the rljrht remedy. To tell the country that the way to jret rid of the trouble Is to beln to deprive ourselves of everything but Just enough to keep body and soul torthr Is flapdoodle. The old-fash! oned superstitious farmers who planted this, that and the other thing: in the lirht or dark of the moon never knew how foolish they were. The men of the next generation will smilingly a-k themselves how the men of our day ever managed to get through without a knowledpe of economic laws. The first step in getting rid of the trouble is to cpen the door to more buying at lower prices Until all commodities of necessity are within the easy reach of every family there can bo no change that will give relief. The family with the smallest income must be able to provide for itself. When that is done the "problem" of production will automatically solve itself. Greater demand mear.s greater consumption, and greater consumption means henvlT production and always will. It Is deliberate flubdub to insist that production U too low. That does not account for the high priees. There U not a sane man in the United States who doesn't know that the fault is not in a lowered production. There are few men who do not know Just as clearly that production Is ample to allow moderate prices if we were not on a wronfr trail. Tho history of every modern invention is a record of restricted u.o until Increased demand enlarged production, lowered costs, and placed the product within the reach of tho greatest number of users. What is true of these Inventions Is true of every commodity. Th re is enough of everything to allow heavier consumption, but tho increased buying Is shut off by exorbitant prices. The same advisers who teil Americana to do without everything are the jnf -A who see ck arly enough that It inability to buy rnd centime that Is handicapring Europe. Yet they do not seem to see that the lowest possible consnmj tion mear.s the liht'st production, and conso.-jtjf.ntiy .still higher prices. One of the needs of ihe tims Is a few less counselors who through a lack f)f knowledge of elemental economics do not know wh it thy ar- J-'Ikln ahout. INDEPENDENCE FOR ARMENIA. Inasmuch as neither the United States nor any oth' r iover has b on willing to accept a mandate to 'i in Armenia, tlv supreme council of the alH , sitting at h'an Itemo, has decided to make it ;i r indepemi nt state. The announcement Ls w-j- (.'.:;, parti ularly b'caus the unwillingness of tho nuroi.i. .111 diplomats to drive the suitan out of Con -j-tantim:;.!1 had given riso to the unpleasant thought that th y loluht. .itso hesitate to tear his grasp loose from unhappy Armenia. It is also gratifying that the I'nited States has been so qui'k to gmnt T cognition to the new nation. The Armenians set up a republic Eome time ngo. Recognizing its independence does not absolve the alii s from the moral obligation to protect It. They cannot honorably wash their hands cf further participation In Armenian affairs. It has been a disgrace that such conditions as have been reported to exist in Armenia at a recent date have been toleratfd by tho victors In the war. A year and a half after the armistice was signed these Christian people were still at tho mercy of the Turk, in danger of violence and massacre. Several weeks ago a delegation of some 500 American veterans of Armenian origin, wearing the uniform in which they served in tho XTnited States army, went to Washington and presented a memorial to congress asking for recognition of tho republic of Armenia- It was pointed out that while the enemy, at the conclusion of hostilities, was at onco compelled to evacuate France, Uelgium and Serbia, and while the liberated nationalities of Poland and Czecho-Slovakia were started without delay upon their new careers, practically nothing has been done as yet for Armenia. Yet the last was the greatest sufferer of all. Armenia has been entitled to more consideration than she has received, not only on the ground of humanity, but also In return for the services she rendered as an ally.

Sen. Henry Cabot Liodge has been introduced Into the campaign in Oregon as a candidate for vice president. Maybo they think that's the only way he can be compelled to glvo the country a rest.

.The number of "humble shop girls" who aro charming the prince of Wales is becoming interesting.

It seems perfectly superllous for anyone to announce that he will accept the presidential nomination, If it Is tendered him.

HUMANIZING ARMY COURTS. (Ixniisxillc Courier-Journal.) Tf enacted by congress, recommendations of the Fenato military committee for changes in the army courts martial system should go far toward re-establishing contldence in the democracy of our armed establishment. This confidence Is imperatively needed now, when a great recruiting camralgn is under way and efforts are being made to attract thousands of veterans back to the service. Specific suggestions of the committee appeal to common sense. Death sentences must be made by three-fourths Instead of a two-thirds vote of tho courts, if the program is endorsed. To avert tho possibility cf green officers weighted down by selfimportance being intrusted with life or liberty of soldiers. It is urged tho courts must have members of legal experience and be composed of ofllcers of at least two years experience. Defendants may havo counsel, military or civilian, of their own selection. Verdicts of acquittal may not be set asid. Punishments may not be heavier than under civil procedure. These are a few of the rules which so readily commend themselves as fair that the only wonder is that tho army system has denied euch obvious rights. The Ansell-Crowder dispute was one cf the deplorable post-war muddles of which the reople have tired. But It has been profitable by arousing tho ration to the militaristic and autocratic tone of our army courts and the need for humanizing and democratizing them. The army of a democracy should be democratic. Nothing1 is so subversive of either discipline or loyalty as a sense of opprcsslcn and inJuüTcc. .nd it has ben clearly evidenced that many of our army courts during the war were stupid and archaic, if not downrUht unjust. While such conditions pre&ll the army s r 1 o roul.l command neither th enthusiasm r.cr the respect cf many potential poldiers. That lhoe ovi' are in the mnd should !e stimulating to recruiting as well us gratifying to the public gent rally.

Specialized Training is the secret of SllCCeSS "Working up" to the executive position through the factory is not to be thought of, because it is too slow. The young man who goes into an office with a thorough business training finds himself rapidly advancing to the executive's chair. Business education never offered such excellent opportunities as it does today not only for young men but the young lady as well. The short preparation necessary; the very small cost in tuition; the certainty of employment, and rapid advancement makes a business training extremely desirable.
