DAUGHERTY'S SPEECH. Cri;tlln? from a field of sonorous and almost porr.niferous platitudes, Atty. Gen. Daupherty, in his firrt speech ffince he. entered the cabinet, yesterday ounded ihe death kr.e'.l to any hopes that friends and supporters of Eusene Debs may have had for hx early release from prison. The attorney general has no sympathy with any doctrine of "political offenders" for America. Hi.- declaration will he the more surprising be-cnu-o of h!3 kindly prrtnal treatment of Debs and the. multitude of rumors from Washington that there would be a general amencsty for all thoe whe were convicted under wartime acta preventing certain expression-" of opinion. Undin? hiä general grouping of "anarchists, I. W. W. and Fci alL-.ts a.s ldealis4 of a criminal typa with a quotation from one of the president's! campaign .speeches that there can b; no difference, btwetn ordinary crimes and political crimes and political criminals, the attorney general leaves no doubt as to the determination of tho present adminlitr?tion to continue the policies of "Wilson. Gne n.lno, are any lingering hopes of tho.e who take unkindly to the lSth amendment that thero will be any laxity In Its enforcement. Mr. Iaugherty says plainly that he will enforce this law strictly and to the uttermost. Those who do not lik? the law and its workings can appeal o cogreis for repeal or leave the country. His argument for strict enforcement i3 from the pound la?is that the executive department has no right to enact new laws nor to nullify any existing law. Every good citizen will heartily applaud this stand for enforcement of the liquor law. Let it be hoped that the federal agents In South Bend will catch the spirit of the administration and wage retention war upon the numerous dive?, fpeak easies and -bootlegging Jointp which are doing bmdnetrs In this c:ty. The yale over the bar of liquors, for the most pan concoctions of a poisonous n iture or nearly pure alcohol, Is conducted In some spot3 in this city with great openness. To tho gentry that believed they could continue indefinitely in thi3 illicit traüic, the speech of the attorney general ought to bo important. It will be when followed by action. If it be taken for granted that he speaks for the administration, hLs comments on labor and capital are more than disappointing. He starts with the well known theses that bjl'a big business and certain labor organizations have in the past violated the lawn in their effort to obtain special advantages over each other and that the community has suffered by their lawlessness. His only suggestion of a remedy is for government investigation of the facts leading to labor disputes and recommendations as to settlements. He would make the investigations obligatory upon both rartle.s but the acceptance of the findings a. voluntary act. It might be pertinently suggested that, as a good editor, his superior has probably been doing jr.Jt that thir.g with regard to every labor war in his own locality for years without any appreciable effect upon euch conflicts. What the public demands is Immediate and accurate knowledge of the cauhos leading to disputed and pome means of heading them off before matters reach the strike .tage. Publicity after the ooen breach carries no freight upon railroads and turns no factory wheels. The. general public expects something more fundamental than euch n palliative. The attorney general is to be complimented on adriot balancing of his platitudes. That portion of his addreFH will add as much to hi prestige within his party as a politician, as it leaves to be desired a? ringing declarations of a strong administration.

HAVE YOU HRITTEX YET? Have you wrirttn to Pres't Harding in behalf of the 10 year old Russian boy who is under ordere to be deported an "imbecile?" You read in yesterday's News-Times of how tha: boy, starved for month, crushed by tyranny, cringing with fear, came to America with his mother and arrived in so pitiable a condition that he was branded as mentally unfit. You read how in than a year, given food and kindntw, hf had pa.-sod through two ?radcj at school and was given grades of 100 by his teacher. The red tape of t!v law forbid the immigration omcers from reviewing any case. The courts h Aviv power to intt-rf fre.Only one person has the authority to right this impending wrong. A postal card or a ift tor, tolling thLr person, yrur president, that the great heart of America has nevjr been bound by r d tape may prevent a very h iman tragedy. If you have not written, do it today. Addrtrs it to the White House, Washington.

ITS YOUR SPLASH.

This afternoon if you listen hard enough you may hear the ?pl i-h of ai proximately J 4 0.000,000 of your dollarw as they take their dip into the ocean at .'c-v York. Thu dollars cf your.-' will P.oat away in the form of the Mggcst battleship which you have ever own.1. It will be driven by electricity. 2?, 000 horse power being required to carry the eight great guns, firing 16 inch sh.dl the 4S emcers and the 1.022 .en ineluded in its equipment. A bottle of real champagne will very appropriately to broken acroÄ the bow as thi ship will be very ir.arrropriatt-'.y given the name of Washington. Champagi. wan banished from the lives of lawabiding, purposeful reoplo when the lSth amendment came ir.to force. Quite likely the battlofhips will be rendered rrwan-inglt-ss in humn relations when the disarmament conference has completed its wv;orj and the wo-li is s'.arte-I on a .ane hai.s of neighborly friendship Instead of armed neutrality. There will be playing of ban Is. The governor of the state of Washington, other high dignitaries, beautiful women, blue coated admirals, s:lk hatted

diplomats will gather to witneess the breaking of this bottle of champagne. Those who happened to be In damp districts on the eve before the dawn of prohibition may remember that cn that occasion beautiful women, decorative and decorated gentlemen, gathered whera music played a requiem to a habit of centuries. The nation has learned, in a very few months, that It can get along fairly well without alcohol. It is learning to get along without bootleggers. So, if you are Inclined to criticise the fact that your battleship is costing many millions, you may take hope. The nation will probably learn before long that it can get along without more of these batiifhlps. And you will no longer reach to e?e if your pocketbook will stand the strain when you het-.r the echo of such splashes.

THE STORY OF A MILLION DOLLARS. When the doorkeeper at a fashionable restaur.-nt In New York died the other day, he left behind him a fortune of one million dollars. Hits wage was Jl a day. He knew, and the owners of the restaurant knew, that his pay envelope would not pay his rent. Our social system is fearfully and wonderfully constructed and one of its quirks gave to this man, who went through life bowing and scraping to the idle rich, hi? fortune. Men with money, it has been observed, demand not only power but the symbol of power. They dream their own dreams of kingdoms ar.d many there were who rode to the place in their closed carriages, later to be supplanted by limousines, who felt a crown upon their heads as the uniformed servitor bowed in deference as they alighted. Tho restaurant wa the haunt of wealth. Young Bcions of the dollar nobility, parading their prospective inheritances before some footlight favorite of tho moment, believed that lavish bestowals of tips might be impressive. Their crinkling bills found their way into the hand that opened their carriage doors. There came also the "barbarians" from as far west as Pittsburg who were afraid that 'they might appear mean and etingy if they handled silver co'na and .k their filhy donations were added to the quickly growing fortune. The real ervlce that this man rendered to theworld was the opening of a door for men to whom even this small physical exertion might have been beneficial. ' The million was obtained by knowing sometning of human nature and a great deal of that weakneyj of men which is ashamed of appearing cheap. How often he must have hidden a sardonic grin beneath his unctioue smile. How often he must have despised the ehowy. blustering financiers who paid for sycophancy. And how much oftener he must have despised himself for spending his lifetime in catering to the fanciful foibles of weak wasters. o The number of unmarried women In America proves they are against war. c Oysters have been away so long they-haven't heard about price reductions. o Of course with phonographs in post offices there's a fine chance to break records.

If the disarmament party does fail, Washington hotel keepers can -build our navy. 0 Chorus girl now can wear their working clothes on the street without being noticed. o Churches have eet Oct. 9 as "Fire Prevention Sunday." Wo thought every Sunday was. o OthorEditorsThanOurs , u m nSL.llDING TESTS. (New York Tribune.) The statement made at Atlantic City by Dr. Alfred Peffenberger, professor of psychology at Columbia, that an animal never think and a man but seldom, is not new. The professor referred to the army teflts, in which the Intelligence of the average white American citizen was shown to be that of a child of 13, and remarked that he "reads and understands the srimploft kind of English, and that is all." Well, what of it? May this not be a wise provision of Providence in restraint of too much intellectuaiii?m? The ue of simple English is unfortunately not a habit that fasten9 itself upon either professors or other literati. Thus those who are aftllctei with too much learning constantly find their audience growing more restricted. They are dubbed dull, prigs or bores by the majority, who turn away from them. To be learned, and at the-eame time simple, Ls a great achievement. Pew attain it. "Let none deceive himself," remarked St. Paul. "If any on? fancieo he Is wise among you In this age, let him became foolish that he may become wise." The intelligence of a 13-year-old is by no means to be despised. There have recently been too many misleading tests. Is not the real test, perhaps, that which lies in character and judgment? o PIVORCK. (Columbus Citizen.) England is alarmed because it had 4,041 divorces las-t year. Every 11 days, America has as many divorces as England has in a year. About 133,000 American families split up in 1920. Every four minutes of every hour of the lay and night, some American couple arranges alimony. In the last 20 years. 3. 767,182 American men and women secured divorce papera This involved 5,600,000 minor children, whose homes were wrecked by the divorce mills. o mtZBKRGFJl. (Memphis PrOvs.) The assassination of Matthias Erzberger did not create much of a stir outside of Germany. It would be more of a sensation if Po!a Negri sprained her ankle. Yet. les than four years ago, the world's undivided attention was concentrated on Erzberger a? he advanced to meet Marshal Foch and sign die armistice that stopped the war. The- big war characters are rapidly going 'nt3 eclipse.

iiiiali moxitt. (Oklahoma Xevts.) Italy has officially recognized that America has taken the place of Great Britain as the world's llr.ancial center by changing from the pound sterling to the gold dollar as the basis of the Italian gold lira. The reason, unofficially stated, is that "dollars are real money, the best money in the world." Rather jarring to British pride, but these are days that governments as well as individuals must d3ol in realities Instead of traditions. And certainly the British pound sterling as the baLs of International exchange value is a tradition. o ninvr. (Sun I Wrtro Sun.) When George Bernard Shaw, in 1915, was wked who would win the war, he answered: "Who won the San Francisco earthquake?" Now that the war-earthquake is over, the national debts of the world total $293,651,000,000 compared with $35.069.000.000 in 1914. To pay the interest on this debt, the world's people must contribute $11,SS6.00'0,000 annually. Bankruptcy will undermine western civilization if the Washington disarmament conference fails.

By Eeast Wire: PA It RON Lake, Mich., Aug. 31. After several days spent in observing the follies and foibles cf the Barron Lake tlappah I have been drawn to the conclusion that ehe is the kind who goes to church on Sundiy with a prayer-book Ln one hand and a powder puff in the other.

drew to a close before the Prof, called on Walter. Impatient because he had not been afl'orded the opportunity to di?cus3 at length on hi3 favorite subject Walter dashed

up to the professor's desk and burst 'out with "Fay, prof, why dlduntchi Icall on me this morning. I was just

full of the subject.!" Curtain ! !

The mystery of the roaring rumbling that rambled through the air here last night has been solved. It was simply the enthusiastic din that greeted the speech of Sjuth Bend's genial undertaker Nelson Jones, affectionately known a:.ng his comrades as Nellie. This extraordinary man with the ordinary name regaled the Nappanee Kiwanians with a parcel of persiflage and piffle that has its only rival in the various vaporlngs of Bozo tho Bu3 Boy.

"Well, I'm glad that's over with." groaned the specially-built-bed in the Oliver aa Cupie Collins checked out for Pitt this A. M. This s-b-b has been undergoing as much strain during tho last year as Chub Bird-eell.

You provincial folk who never go from one state to another as Ye Ed in his travels have littlo or no idea how the Round Oak town is growing. Seeking a bit of diversion this morning I decided to do a littlo training, viz., e. g i. e namely, ride from Niles over to Dowagiac in what Evelyn in true baby form calls "The CHOO-CHOO." (She learned that from her papa). Unaccustomed as I am to the day-coach or anything that eavors of the plebian, I purchased a chair seat. In the smoker, over by the window, was sitting a doddering old fellow who had all the symptoms of senility. Sitting. in the corner was what we newspapermen call a "wise-cracker." As the M. C. rattled to a stop, the wise-alec decided to uncork some humor to tickle the armpits of the smoker and in imitation of the porter he called "Chlckagoo Chickagoo." And while some other saphead and Evelyn's father unrolled a polite snicker the old fellow over ln the corner volunteers the information, "Oh, No! My dear fellow, you are mlstakenl This is Dowagiac!

Of course you all know Walter Sweeney of Notro Dame, who recently copped one of the big Studie machines in the well-known contest. But we venturo that you are not all aware of the fact that Walter was an enthusiastic student of " Horticulture at the Summer School. It happened that the Professor went on at length one day on' the subject of Fertilizer .... and the class-hour

South Bend ealutes Karl King j the local Chick Evans. The latest j

rumor to trickle into Reid's resort is that Karl took on Gene Miller the other afternoon for nineteen holes of golf. Contrary to the rules of the game Gene, right after driving off, moved down the course and the sad part of the story is that when Karl drove off he etruck Gene right between the First Hole and the Clubhouse. Think of it!

There was a reporter named Metz Who, years ago used to drink Schletx And it's fad to relate His terrible fate. Now he drinks anything that he Getz.

Poetic license.

Confidentially, customers, Bill Reid says that he's gonna cut down on bathing suits next season. If he cuts down some of those I've noticed around here I'm gonna have a cottage here from Decoration Day to Labor Day.

There's a keen stimulation in this climate here and during the week I have often found myself reciting poetry to the birds and sardines that inhabit Barron Lake. This one seemed to have a special appeal to a couple of the birds who are still hanging around: Let us wander to the fields today To the woods where the chickadee sings; To some quiet retreat where I'll sit at your feet And tell you of wonderful things. I will tell of a castle among the hills That a vagabond built one day, As he dreamed in the shade of a forest glade. And idled the hours away. I will tell of a beautiful fairy who came And with Just one wave of her hand Made the dream come true: for the fairy was you, And I was the vagabond. So, come! Let us sing all the songs that we know And dance to the Pipes of Pan And I will be true the whole daythru. What more could you fk of man?

TRI um ri I. When all is said and done And the battles lost or won, It's the laughter of the children And tho mother's gentle sn.jle, It's the pride of those you know, Good old friends who love you so. That make the prize worth having And the victory worth while. Back of every golden dream, Every engine hissing steam. Back of every hammer falling And of every deed men dare; Back of every tilt and fight Is the coming home at night To the loved ones who are waiting In the victory to share.

PAGING OLD ACQUAINTANCES. Where's the chap who used to say that there would come a tims some day When he'd eschew the bubbling torew That held him in its clutches. And. being- able to absta.ni from liquor which benumbed his brain And chilled his soul, he'd gain the goal That only greatness touches? He's kept a portion of his vow; he isn't drinking any now And yet his mind is not inclined Toward any high endeavor. At prohibition rates for booze he simply can't afford to use Beer, gin or fiz, and yet he is The same old bum as ever!

Where'3 the jnzn of whom 'twas!

said that the besotted life he led Obscured his fame and kept the fianie Of mighty genius hidden. The man his friends proclaimed would rise and write his name across the skios In brave array when dawned the day That liquor was forbidden? For him the liquor ceased to Mow on July first, two years ago, Upon ?aid mom J. Barleycorn And our young hero parted. He is not handieaped a bit becau.se he's Jingled, corned or lit. But if his aim is still for fame He'd best bo getting started. (Copyright, 19 21.) NOT A CLKAX SWEEP. There is the usual mortality of guides in Canada this year, but but there will be still enough left to supply color to society divcrce cases.

'Tis not in success alone That achievement's worth is known. If we had no friends to cheer us And no one at home to care; If man's glory' as a fighter Did not make a few eyes brighter

He would cease to try for conquest j

And would never do or dare. Back of every man you'll find Loving hearts who stay behind, Watching, waiting, patient, loyal As ho strives to meet the test, And the thought which drives him daily Is that they shall meet him gayly, And shall glory, In his triumph On the day he does his best.
