A FEARFUL PROFESSOR. Newspapers feature sensational news n the front pl?ef because four out of five newspaper readers prefer to read H n,itional news.

Newspapers generally would not have printed It. People or most of them would not have read it if 11 had boea printed.

It pave tho nw.papr reader a temporary sensation. P'-an Jon. employed th favorite trick of the notoriety meeker to attract und hold audirnce by ex.ttration.

OL'lt "SPJiFADII) ISOLATION." Fort Wnyn Journal-CJaetto. ) Col. I. H. House has long been considered a careful invastipator and a wise advisor anions the statesmen of the world, but naturally his one time intimacy with such a wicked man as Prcs't Wilson has had some affect on his popularity "in some circles. Rut now that he ia the duly authorized Kuropeun correspondent of such a reputable republican paper as the Philadelphia Public Iedper he pive promise of rehabilitating himself even with the 'aristocracy of intellect and culture." JLn his most recent article dealing with the Polish crisis he says: "Students of the economic and political situation are unhappy over the present outlook. Conditions in Poland are rapidly approachmp a crisis. If Poland succumbs to thi Russian invasion, (lermany will he the next to fro; and largely for the reason that Germany will elect to po. There may be a passive resistance, but a majority of the Germans will welcome the Russians as deliverers. The Russian army will be enormously strengthened by recruits from the late German army, and together they will make a formidable force, a force that will take all the resources of the western powers to reckon with. "If this should happen, and it is well within the bounds o. probability, what will England. France and the t'nited States do to counter? If they rabio large armies' to oppose. ,an they he transported? Will labor furnish the motive power?" Here we have a rather serious situation described. There seems to he danger that bolsheviki will overwhelm the young republic of Poland, and after that every probability that the armies of Trotsky will sweep acros.s the border into Germany where it will be joined by a large portion of the former Koldiers of the kaiser, and then, thus augmented, this force would threaten the civilization of western Europe ;s we understand it. With both Russia and Germany bolshevist it would be absurd to deny that two civilizations, or rather civilization and medieval barbarism, would be forced to a life and death struggle. In other words a.s far as Europe is concerned a greater and bloodier war than that from which we have just emerged would follow, with the chances not prtatly favoring England. France. Italy and Relgium. of course that would be none of our concern. The enlightened statesmen who follow the leadership of Henry Cabot Jodpe, Hiram Johnson and the Chicapo platform makers have Kaid and many times reiterated that this country must stay out of the quarrels of Europe. It is none of our business. Let them ftpht it out. We are not our brothers' keeper, and this thing vi saving the world is sheer rot anyway. We are more interested, as Mr. Hays cleverly said, "in the stomachs of America than in the heart of the world." In the event bolshevism overturns what we know as civilization in Europe alter all Europe has become bolsheviki, it will be time enough for us to fight fcr the preservation of democracy and liberty as we understand it. of course at that time we would have to tight all the countries of Europe hut that would be a picnic. At the time we entered the recent war some foolish peoj le told us that if we failed to do our part, and German Junkerism should dominate Europe, she would then proceed to attack us, and these funny people even were so absurd as to smuggest that perhaps it would be better t' fight Germany with the other countries as our allies than to fight her alone after she had taken possession of the old world. Rut that fools no one today We are infinitely wiser than we were in war days. Of course we wer more or less hysterical then. We even pretended to have id ca Is. Just fancy. Now we know that in the event the Russians dominate Europe we would have to fight Europe. The kaiser once said to Gerard: "America should be careful. After this war I shall take care of her." That is precisely what Lenine and Trotsky have been raying all the time. Meanwhile xve would be safe and we have com to the "bafety first" stage. We would be &afe from Russian shot and shell for a while. Rut we would not be qu.te so prosperous in our splendid Isolation. After the European markets have been destroyed by anarchy we would hax more time for the lordly Insure we so much enjoy. The factories could work a few days a week. And price would come down. And vet there wir. be found some no doubt chattering the samA old IVileonlan stuff about the absolute necessity for our participation in European affairs, cur very renl Interest In European conditions, but no or.e will be deceix-e-d.

More Truth Than Poetry

The anecdotes the speakers told f' heard with honest admiration . Their jokes, though generally old Received my hearty approbation. My risibilities, I knew. Were stirred to function somewhat quicker. Rut never did I lay this to The liquor. f But now, when 1 go out to dine. Although there still is cheerful chatter. Without the artful aid of wine The speeches seem but pointless patter.

M YRA. Taken from an evolutionary standpoint. Myra represents the eternal etymological question. Tt is said to mean "she who weeps" but where it comes from and how it reached its present form is clouded in mystery. The consensus of opinion seems to be that it eome.s from the word marah. meaning bitterness, which was then supplied to the bitter gum. myrrh. The same term wr-.s used to designate the brackish springs in the desert to which the dcs-ol.ite widow of Rethlehem referred when she cried "Call me not Naomi (pleasant), call me Marah (bitter)." This is on the whole the most satisfactory derivation of Mra, sometimes referred to in the middle ages as Myrrh of the Sea. Myra was frequently used itr the early days of Eiblioal history and the heritage of sorrow which the name suggests seems generally to have accompanied iTs progress. ft has been a great English favorite and has likewise had widespread vogue in this country, its popularity, curiously enough, being confined largely to the south. Jet. the emblem of sorrow, Is Myra's talisman pem. but bv wearing it the ancients' believed that s.h could escape her legacy of tears. It should be worn however against the flesh to insure its potency. Tuesday is Myra's lucky day and seven her lucky number. (Copyright, 19 20.
