-LET THE GOVERN IF NT DO IT." "Iyt u eeiFu to rly on unvrnment to Co our thinking for us, to cir our cl.--a5os, to solve our prohirms and brir,? fcuo on .irth to men of 111wlll. Th tn.ok 1i Impwiblf. We mus-t travel away from m"rhar.im to spontaneous action." Thfsse words, pokrn ' I'rfs't Faunof of Prown university, nre worth thinking about. Possibly thry ' sufRfst the thirf rau.so of nro.ont-f!ay political evils, people arcn to have fallen into the, habit of exppotinc: that vacru thir.s called "povernrnf nt" or "authority" to do not only their thinking for thm. but to do th"ir acting fno them. "It Washington do it" has been the motto, not admitted but Implied. The tendency has been to unload upon the federal Kovernmnt all sort.-; of burdens, state or mcniripal. polirleal or economic or oci.ü, which smaller govfrnmental ap:enelfg or rrlvate organizations of enterprising citizens could and should take care of themselves. Individuals likewise have a prowlntr tendency to unload on the officers of their party or f.. canization or association, whatever Its nature, the duties they ought to attend to themselves. Nearly everybody fteems to want to dodge the responsibility of thlnicinR and acting, by pas?in it to the man or the organization hlKhor up, reserving only the riht to criticise. Thla Is lazy, cowardly and undemocratic. It oupht not to be. necessary to repeat that with riphts ro responsibilities, Democnrj- will never succeed In full measure, until its small civic units and its Individual citizens play their minor pnrt as well ns they expect the city or stnte or federal "government" to play Its part.

THE LOS ANGELES EARTHQUAKE AND THE SAN FRANCISCO CONVENTION. One could scarcely blame, particularly the ultrarelilous. If they should put an Interpretation upon the Ix3 Angeles earthquake of higher jdpnitfeanco than a mere quaking of the- earth. Heaven may have pent It as a warning to the democrats assembling In the near-by city of Sin Francisco that "God is still upon Ills throne an! the earth Is his footstool." That's ripht! Iauh, you unregenerate republican, but better tht you should, reflect on the possibility. Indeed. protably that the Most Illch was brought to tht notion, if at all, by the non-principled un-rjodhnes.- of the recent convention that flascoe! in Chienso, wrecking His faith In humanity, and diuntlntr Him to take no more chances. If "G-od's O-wn P-.irty" as certain of lis adherents In thoir demeanor of phariraical super-egoistic "Holler thsr thoutsrr:." seek to proclaim It, can so forget itself as to execute euch a farce as was pulled off In the Windy City, assuredly It should be a warning even to Heaven, of Pluto's control and his probably westward movement toward the Golden Gate. The situation is Illustrated by a story that th lawyers tell of a young attorney who had appealed a case from a justice of the peace to a higher court, and when the. time came for triil appeared on tha f-cene with a dray-load of law books from which he proceeded to quote law, even as to the fundamentals, poinsr back to Hlackstone, Coke, Ittleton and rerhis Justinian. "Hut my voting friend." snid the Judge from the appellate bench, rather whimsically, "you have overlooked one .Jd adace. The couri is presumed to know some law!" "So," said the young barrister. "I hive not overlooked lt. Hut I acted upon that theory in the court below and found that the presumption did not hold good. Accordingly I am taking no chances on the appeal." Who knows but that the Almighty despite hi centuries of experience, dealing with political partle. potentates poppycock and Pluto, sfes in the Chlcaeo platform and Its candidate. His honorable opponent attaining such an upperhand. as to convince Him tht "signs and wonders" are ns:ain needed. With the republicans hoping until almost Mfk !n the face that tho democrats will s-ll themselves to t'n ery devil at Sin Francisco and a considerable delption of democrats perfectly willing. a little shakeup cf God's footstool. Just as a reminder of His presence, miht not be out of place. course, such speculation Is all chimerical. whim;cal. fmtatic. alnly conceived, but none the lv- susgestive. Most anything Is worth while thes diy- if it will but bring men to realize a porslbb responsibility to some r.ipfrlor power which is watching them, and which, as they misus-, misinterpret, and mlaapr. roprlate the power that such responsibility ve.ts in them, slow with ar.cer. Th republican platform. filled with premeditated 'anders and vague promises, will be srarvhed In VhTn for one, constructlvo suggestion for the reformation of the conditions which It criticises and which It pretends to deplore. The oppressed people? of the earth will look to it In vain. It contains n.o n-.f.-T?e of hope for Ireland; no word of mercy for Armenia; sin.s only in accents of hate; seeks to avert the world' anxi.ny for lasting peace; conceals sword fi-r Mexic. It i- th" work of men eor.cerr.ed mere with matr:l thir.s tlitn with hicm right. It contain no thought, no puri"S"

which can give impulse or thrill to these who lov liberty and hope to make the world a safer and happier place for the average man. S-ch a platform, even from a political party. Is weli-nlzh sacrilege. If there l.i ruch a thing as Infinite Wisdom It has been mocked. Better that an earthiuike should swallow the delegates at Fan Francisco than that they commit a like monstrosity. Insulting to mankind and blasphemous to the Most Hich. Democrats assembled at the Golden Gate may not be moved by the Lcs Angele thakeup probably will not be. but rather than mlmlc Chicago In Its hyrorrliy and disrespect for human Obligation. It would be better that the whole aggregation riff er being feared, if not shaken to death.

MOTHER'S VACATION. Will mother pet a vacation this summer? Father will probably have two weeks. The older brothers rnd si.-ter.s who are working will have a like period In wh'uh they will be off f-omewhele to country or city, as their inclinations call them. The children will riot out of doors all day long. But how about mother? Mother was up all r.lsht a Rood many nights whll the family had th flu. Mother got up early a good t.-any mornings about 366. to be accurate to get the family started for the day. Mother took up whatever fragme-nt of work the others left undone and completed It without a grumble, besides performing her own thousand and one tasks. Now how about mother's vacation? If it cannot be a week or a month away from home, why not a day a week at home, ricjht in the middle of the week, when she Is usually busiest, wherein she is not to do a "tap" of work not plan a meal or wash a dish or cook, or mend, but Just res: and wander out to the wood3 or sit on the porch ? It may involve some lit tip sacrifices on th' part of the rest of the family, but how many sacrifices has mother nude in the past year, and all the years? Why not let mother have a day a week off from sacrifice., too?

LAND SHARKS. A Souh P.end man receiving literature from a "development company," offering to sell him a "peanut unit" in Florida which would bring him $2.000 a year for the small investment of $2.o00 for 10 ncref, and not being one of the fish that swim near the bottom, has asked the department of agriculture .about the .eheme. and in reply received a letter which is partly r.uoted here: "The average yield from 10 acres of peanuts would not exceed $.''.0 0 to $500. You could buy a farm of 100 acres, in almost any part of FIoi Ida, including the region mentioned in the circrlar, for the price which Is nsked you for 10 acres'. The whole "unit" system, whether It is pecans, poaches, cane, peanuts, hogs or what not, is simply a means of selling land at three times to flvo times what it is worth, to ignorant or unwary small Investors." This is only ene of many like incidents and experiences." It behooves the purchaser to be well informed as to the honesty of the scheme and the people rromoting It, before h parts with any of his hard-earned cash for real estate "units" tull of glittering promise.

CLOTH AND LAW. Whether or not the practices of the American Woolen "o. make it liable to the charge of profiteering is ios:sib!y not a question for laymen to determine. It rests with the courts. Put the public out of whose pockets the profits come is naturally rather critical of the ground given by the federal Judge in New York who dismissed the government's suit against thi comptny. The judpe ruled that the I,over aet. wbleh provide a ffno and imprisonment on those guilty of profiteering in the necessaries life, does not apply to the American Woolen Co., because It specifics "clothing." nnd what the company manufactures is "cloth." The defendant had not attempted to eleny that it had forced up the prices for its products. If this ruling Ftands, the public may conclude that there Is about the same distinction between cloth and clothing as there Is between law and justice.

Future historians will refer to Sen. Harding as "the republican who ran against Pres't ??????? in 1920."

PLATFORM IXTFKPItFr.VTIOX. (Indianapolis (Ind. Kop.) News.) Peclarir.g that "tho people nro entitled to know in definite terms" what their party proposes to do. the republicans at their recent convention adopted a platform which is even at this early day going through a process of Interpretation and things that are "definite" never need to be interpreted. The convention praised the republican senators who voted for the league of Nations with reservations, and also for defeating the covenant broucht back by the president from Furope. "Whether the commendation was f.iven to them because they defeated the treaty, or tried to pr.ss it, la a question thatl must be left to the interpreters. And so of that other question as to the real purpose of the senators who were praised. Did Lodge nnd tho rest really, desire that the treaty be ratlfled" If so. can they properly pprocMto the raise given to them in a plank that was wholly satisfactory to Sms. Porah and Johnson, who certainly did not want it ratified? )n this point we have an Interpretation from Sen. Idge himself. The New York Times said a few days nco: "Sen. Lodge openly appealed for the votes of democratic Donators on the cround that he was earnestly trying to Kt the treaty ratified. Hut .at Chicago he served notice that if a resolution were brought in favoring ratification on any tprm? he would f.ght it on the floor of the convention. This Wars out the analysis of. the Massachusetts senator's secret intent made by one in close touch with him all through the treaty ficht In the senate. It was that 'Lodge really wan.s to kill the treaty, but does not dare to.' At Chicago he plucked up the necessary courage. Thus far interpretation of the plank seems to mike necessary the conclusion that it is antagonistic to tho treaty and the co er.ant. either with or without reservation. Rut now comes the New York Trib ine and ays that "it does not preclude" acceptance of the covenant and the treaty. We do not fi5;jine to say which authority Is right perhaps all are wrong. It may be that the convention really did no, know own mind that on this issue the senatorial cabnl was up in th air. One thing, however, is rerfectix ieir, and that is that there is nothing "definite'' abit an utterance that has been so variously construed, and as a result the pe'ople who 'are er.!ill:l to know in def.nlte terms' what the P irty thiJik on this mi'.-m. t. as on all other subjects, ore lef; whollv in the dark.

More Truth Than Poetry

! By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

WHAT'S IN A NAME

KVKRLASTINGIA TOO IjATIv. When Congress put a ban on seed For pre-election distribution, It put the kibosh, we agreed, Upon a icious institution. "No more," we proudly said, "No more. Shall reprobating conscience plague us. Because we sold our suffrage for A half a dozen rutabagas." And so, with an unclouded soul. And stainless conscience we proceeded. To peel ten dollars from our roll With which we bought the seeds we needed. "We'll vote as we elect." quoth we, "And beg no legislator's pardon. From obligations we are free. No statesman helped to plant our garden. "No matter who's the candidate. He cannot say, 'Don't you remember Those hubbard squash seed? I await Some grateful action In November Nor can he write, "I have no doubts That you will help to put me over: (Enclosed find parsnips, Brussels Sprouts. Yams, onions, beets and red top lover.' " But now they've taken oft the ban (Flection doubts begin to haunt 'em) And recently our congressman Haa said he'll send 'em if wo want 'em. We told him, "No." A solemn vow Of Independence we have chanted. And anyway It's too late now, For I have got my garden planted.

Facta about your name; Ithistory; Its mpAnfn: whrr.ee It was 'derived; its significance; your lucky day and lucky lewcl BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

FAITH. From a Biblical source comes the charming Faith, which sprang into popular usage during the vogue of Puritanical names. The prevalence of appellatives which denoted abstract virtues marked the beginning of Puritanism in England and many such names came under the ban from other classes because of the widespread dislike of the "Round Heads." Put the simple beauty of Faith, as well as the divine vlitue for which the name was symbol, kept her popularity undimmed. For was she not one of the trio whom St. Paul recommends to tho Corinthians., saying: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity." The Puritans brought Faith to New Ensland when they migrated from their native land and the name has been universally popular, there. at tho same time spreading to other sections of the country. Tt is one of the few feminine appellatives which cannot he contracted. The pearl is Katth's talismanic cem. It Is a fitting symbol of purity for its wearer who will possess enviable charm and affability and have many friends. Wednesday is her lucky day and five her lucky number. (Copyright. 1920.)

The Ronl Thing. That Caruso robbery was probably the real thing. Knrico certainly didn't need the ad.

The Horoscope

THURSDAY. JUXK 21. According to the astrological figure the ever beneflc Jupiter rules this day, turning the tide of affairs

to the side of prosperity, growth and general good fortune. Under this powerful sway there should be increase in business, followed by distinct financial Rain in all matters properly managed. It is advisable, however, owing to two detrimental

positions of planets that wield a i malefic influence, to avoid Important !

change, removal and Journeys. It would be wise to defer these until a more propitious planctarj sway. Those whose birthday it is may look forward to a year of growth in business with increase of money, but they should make any change or journey with a considerable decree of precaution. A child born on this (lay will rise in life and be generally fortunate, A female will marry late in life.
