STILL TIME TO -ACT. If you could ;tve t0 rrnt cit of rvery dollar you pay for rent, for cIothc-3, for food, would you think it important enousrh to writ a letter? Out cf cvrry dol?.r that you pay In taxes to tho United f?tatej government, 00 rents sroe-s for war ruritos, either past or present. You cannot sivc nli of thi but you can save tho pvt that poe for future war?, and tho proportion . tremendous. You an Hive a bis shar of tho money you glv when you ray a war tax r.t a picture fIiow, when you pay your Income tax, when you pay that added toll which 5. takr-n on .o-called luxuries. Vou can .save j-orr.. of that tax which you pay, directly or Indirectly, on evry railroad trip and every pound if freight that is brought in for your use. You can do it by writing a letter today to "Warren (I. Hardin?, your prc:.Ident, demanding that the disarmament conference, which he Kummoned. holds Its s-jr'ion in the open. Tho diplomat. of the prreat nations will Assemble around a yren -covered tabl. It depends largely upon you whether they become samhlera with civilization or true statesmen. If they rnct behind locked doors, you may be 5tir; that the gathering will develop Into a. battle of vlt. with national ambitions paramount, with ach set intent on Kettin orne advantage and with disarmament becoming merely the pretenn for the meeting. If they meet in the open, there is not a governncnt which will dare to oppose Inrtant cetsatlon of tb-- building of battleships, which cost you million? tvery day. If they meet 1efore the eye.s of the world, they will bo bound to moot th demand of tho world that the burden of costly wars b lifted and lifted at once. nvcry dollar ;ent for battle shir Is a burden upon induetry and labor. There i not a working man nor a business man in any nation of the world who would not welcome the lifting of thi burden. There is no queti n of what the peoples of the earth want. There is little question of what men behind locked doors will do. Your chance of safety and for results lies in your light to h-ar what thefo men of other nations propope. to hear what your representatives reply. Write Unlay u the president. If ho gets enough letters ho will give the necessary word and the doors will bo opened. Io you want to Veep on paying, for generations to come, for war?

THE WHISPERED POISOiS. Not openly, of course, for fear of losing vote of women, but by whispered attack, thos.i Interested in making the coming city election a purely partisan affair and obtaining the power of office for political purposes, are telling the voters that (iladys Monroe ought not to be city clerk In-cau she would be . compelled to listen to nasty evidence in the city courts. The women of thb city have heard mich thingn before heard them when roIiticiun were trying to keep her from getting the vote at all. Th y heard then that polling places were iiithy with tobacco, ib- with profanity of men. unfit places tor any woman to t-nter. They heard these politicians urg? that they were protecting the dar ladies from inult when they kept them out of th- booths and away from political meeting's. It is the same old viev point. The old political mind b;n only one grooe. it thinks In tho yesterday and neer in the present or the tomorrow. Kvrry pertvu who i.s trying: t Iiis nw poison pas attack on the candidacy of a woman ha.s in his heart rebellion against any partioir atlon of women In public affair. f course, the charge in't true. Other cities, in states where women have long had tho vote, have eh cud women as city clerks for years and no one has i-omplaind That th-re has been a lowering of standards or a Ics-ning of justice on that account. Th election of women to office in this city would bring an influence that is needed. Mere party control Ii i brmictit continual criUoiwm. It is time to take adantaco of tho new force in society that came when suffrace was made epial.

SAVE THE BOYS AiD GIRLS. Hvery time a policeman or tdher ofhVer locks a boy or girl under 1 years old In a jail with old offenders, he iolates thi' law. It is don" in this tity every time such a cao appears, done simply because there Is no other proifion made for their car. or detention. It Is a matter about which no man in powtr hart cncerr.ed himself, r.ot because of its neceitj- but because there haa been no one in prwer with Hufilcient Intert to see that this wrong is righted. Should .Mrs. IJilian Krieghbaum elected to the council from the 1'inst Ward, you may be sure that there will be an active demand to make South Bend a law abiding place and obey the law ottUially ad well privately. Tho present conditions are Intolerable. The excuiw of pacing responsibility from city to county or county to city will no longer be accepted. The life of Mrs. Krieghtaum. her active business career, her participation in every project of a charitable or public nature, her sympathy with every nether and her womanly instinct for the best things for this city insure ardent nupport for any project which will make South Bend the be: city for boys and girls. When you hear campaign orators demanding more enforcement of lawj. ask them whether they do not believe that this candidate will help to rr-vke the city government recognize the law. Her candidacy is a matVr ef citizenship and humanity, not partisanship or factional.

PIERCING THE UKXOJl'i Not a doznn years ago fair committees paid considerable mm of money, to secure a thrill for crowds, to men who leaped in a parachute frorQ balloons that were from 1,000 to 1,500 feet in the air. Down at Kansas City the delegates to the Ameri

can Legion naw one of their member drop from an airplane over five miles in the air. His start was visible only by means of a telescope. The machine In which h rode had gone out of the range of vision, far beyond where the naked eye could follow. The very thought or trach a drop brings a shudder to minds that have not been accustomed to accent new things. The aviator came dorn with as much eafety as he might have stepped from a Pullman train. He had mad? a new world's record and shown a little more of the possibilities of piercing: the realms that are as yet but httle known. The vairt majority of people living today will geo such acts as ordinary events of life. They will become accustomed to the sight of preat alrphlps sailing acrorrs the rfciea, to airplanes which dart at lightning speed, to the landing of friends, by controlled parachutes, from long aerial ridee. Most people today will live to see many other change, for the mind of man is forging out Into other unexplored spaces, into those realms which have teefn hidden in mystery. Every gTcal war in ihn past has been followed by an age of Invention. It was only by Invention that civilization has been able to Lear the staggering burdens of conflict. This city did much to bring prosperity and happiness at the closo of tho civil conflict. Its two chief manufacture, wagons and plows, helped to increaso the production of food and bring agriculture out of the morass of drudgery. When that leglonaire dropped from far beyond the clouds, he was but symbolical of the immediate future. He had pierced the unknown and demonstrated not only his own courage and bravery but Immense possibilities for all men. Other minls. with faith and courage, will forage into th worlds of chemistry, science, invention and Martle with tho simplicity of the things now believed impossible. o ' THE REAL STORY. The people are now learning, for the first time, tho inside story of -why Col. Roosevelt was not permitted to lead a division of volunteerw and why Gen. Wood was not sent abroad. Knemits and political opponents of Woodrow Wilson have endeavored to ascribe these decisions to a political jealousy on the part of tho war president. Sec'y Tumulty, the closest man to the president, in position to know ail the facts, giveer a far different interpretation. The Inclination of Pres't Wilson was to permit Roosevelt to go abroad but there had been determined a definite policy of selective service under professionally trained army officers. To have broken the policy to gratify the wishes of Col. Roosevelt meant the breaking down of the entire system. The private inclination of the president gave way to the greater good. The retention of Col. Wood in thU country, acclaimed by his friends as a political act, was due to Gen. Perching, not to Woodrowr Wilson. Pershing had been given full command and full responsibility. His Job was to win the war and no handicaps of selection cf his assistants was placed upon him. nie American commander did not want Wood and he was kept at home for that reason and for no other reason. He was not a martyr nor a political sacrifice. The judgment of Pershing was vindicated by results, lie did win tho wa.r. The men he selected to come over seas confirmed his good opinion of them. Woodrow Wilson did not trouble to shift the burden of criticism wftich came to him from these acts, in which he had no part other than to cling to a fixed policy, a definite policy which he had worked out to win and which did win. Ho bore the shafts that those on whom he relied and whom he placed in authority might be free to do tho big Job marked out for them. The revelations of Tumulty should be welcomed by all fair minded men and women who may have been led to believe by the haters of Wilson that the central figure in the war stopped to indulge in petty spites or political considerations. It takes a courageous and a far-seeing man to cling to a policy in the faco of unjustified criticism. Woodrow Wilson was courageous and he was farseeing. o Our objection to seeing a woman kiss a dog is the dog hasn't done anything wrong. o The word "lady" comes from Anglo-Saxon "breakkneader," but try to make one believe it.

Scera. bound for market, used to be driven up from the Texas Panhandle to Dodge City, Kaa., and other shipping points. Railroad came along, did th work moro cheaply, and the cattle trails went to sed. The pendulum swings back. Into Denver comes a cattle herd, driven from a ranch 100 miles away. This saves $700 ' freight. Prohibitive freight rates make tho old-fashioned way cheaper. o IXST. (Ios Angeles Heooni.) California fruit growers t?ign a three years' con trai t to ship by boat through the Panama Canal, cheaper route than by railroad. Shipments will total i . 000, 000 boxes cf fruit a year. That's a lot ot business for the railroads to lose, uch of it probably ;s lo. for good. Is the ccu of running the economic machinery of civilization becoming prohibitive? Freight rates are. o ily one of many instances. Old fashioned methods hj.ve another inning.

PENAITY. (Oklahoma News.) Many envied Ponzi, admired his cunning. Now Ponzi's in Jail. His wife Is broke and says she will btcome a private secretary. Tonzi's palace-homo and all its costly furnishings go under the auctioneer's hammer. Hell is not as pleasant as the road to it. o im. irowiTS FAVonrn: story. (Philadelphia Public ledger.) B. W. Howe of Kansas has ben something of a traveler. He made a number of trips abroad and went twice around the world. It was on his first trip abroad that he encountered one of the sea hounds whose chief boast is concerned with the number of times they have crossed the Atlantic. Mr. Howe tlls the Incident as his favorite story. "Is this your ftrst trip?" the sea hound asked Mr. Howe on the occasion of their first meeting. Mr. Howe admitted that it was. "Well." said the sea hound, "I've crossed the Atlantic forty time." On the second day the sea hound again put the question to Mr. Howe and again vouchsafed the same observation. He repeated it at frequent intervals during the trip. It wa on the sixth day, after ths sea hound had again spoken of the total number of his crossings, that Ml-. Howe said to him: "By the way have you ever been to Ohama?" The area hound said he never had. "Well." retorted Mr. Howe, "I go there every week."

rrii;f news or Tim city. They tell us that John Hibberd sent ;the word around at the Citizens' "bank that "he didn't want no kids working there." Frank ifchumacker. the dapper assistant cashier, heard about it and straight way began to raise a mustache. Now Frank's friends are saying to him, "Hibberdidit." Approximately 178 people seems to be a very popular number of persons to be attending a political meeting in Mishawaka. The other day we read two accounts in the well known News-Times of th ecime political meeting. Ono report said "about 17S people" were In attendance. Another report stated, "the crowd was estimated at approximately ITS." a a a Schuyler Rose sez he's having a lot of trouble this fall petting his

coal delivered, as most of his custlmers won't let his men into their cellars. Owen Davits-, the widely known laundryman, states that he never had any real trouble in ills lifo until one day one cf the girls at the laundry absent mindedly starched a pair of pajamas for a south end resident, lie sez that h's been having trouble about the matter ever since. Wo succeeded In getting Central almost immediately the other day. Guess she must havo Just finished the chapter, said Jake Heckaman yesterday as ho trimmed tho hair on IM Ponds' toupe. A model husband is ono who washes up the pots and pans after mixing the home brew.

Neighbors near the building formerly occupied by the Rostiser grocery on Iincoln Way West are fearful that tho structure will collapse most anytime these days as a result of 1,000 of Georgo Hull's advertising cards being nailed onto tho building. Teacher "Can you tell me the shape of the world?"

Small Boy "S-jre. my pop fays

It's In a hell of a shape." Which reminds us of the reply received by a teacher in one of the west side schools, when she attempted to chassis" an urchin for being repeatedly late at school. One day Steve arrived at school rather later than usual and the teacher ajked why. "My mother forgot to holler me out." was Steve's reply. a When a man is injured in an explosion these days, there's usually a dispute results as to whether It was too much yeast or too much sugar. a a WHO NEVER HAS ANY PTN?

SOME DAY. Some day they'll know why we worry so When into the road on flying feet They venture the dangers of the street; Some day the youngest of them will know. Although he laughs at our fears today, Just why we watch him out there at play. Some day they'll know why we whisper "No," When they wish to wander where langer lies. And bring the tears to their youthful eyes; Some day they'll learn what we dreaded so,

Some day they'll find, in the years to bo. What only the parents of children Fee.

They wonder now why it is we stay Forever watching them, day and night, The mother praying that they're all right. Never at peace till they come from play; Some day, down in the distant years. They'll share and they'll understand our fears. They'll know why the mother has never slept Until she has seen them all safe in bed, And why Flie has waited to hear their tread And there at the window her watch has kept; When they have children to come and go. They'll know why it was that we worried so. (Copyright, 1921.)

SO WHY TRY? , 1 could fashion a song that would ripple along Like the voice of a murmuring stream, A verso I could write filled with silvery light Like a night when the moon is a-beam. But 1 never intend any to time to expend In making the tyllables flow In any such style, for the critics would smile, And nay that I stole it from Foe. In fact they'd do worse, they would dig up the verse

And prove that I stole it from Poe. I could put out a book that would give folks a look At a little jay town in the west, Which never employed any time reading Freud. And would think H. G. Wells was a pest. I could show that the floks in the village were jokes Uncouth and unlettered and rough. But the critic would sneer while they made it appear I had cribbed Sinclair Lewis's stuff. Still further they'd go; they would actually show That ld cribbed Mr. Lewis's stuff. I could make up a phrase you could read seven ways And get a new meaning each time. You could never make out what the thing was about Yet the sound would be simply sublime.

j But if I should dare such a phrase j to prepare ; The critics would call mo harsh j names, j And say the next day, in their mean ' nasty way, That I stole it from Hennery I James.

nd to be quite exact thcyd establish the fact That I stole it from Hennery James.

VERSE O' CHEER By Edgar L. Jones

HETTY JANE. It isn't often thet I see A baby thet appeals to me Like Betty Jane. Her blue eyes So pretty, hardly ever cries. Her face aradiatin glee Every time she looks at me. Never seems to have a care, Jes scatters brightness ever'where With thet sweet little baby smile Thet she keeps wearin' all th' while. So comfy like as if to say She's always gonna be thet way. Betty Jane jes' a little tad Th' very picture uv her dad. Big blue eyes an' sunshine hair An' th' wisest little baby stare Thet ever wuz. They shorely planned L'il Betty Jane in Fairyland.
