That the .'icrfxor should corru from the Ip:ib !:- ;i pirfy in In conformity to every rn!om of I tic an! of our present v8trn of s-!"Ct;n off. r. Tint i a f'-resrone coru-Iiion. Hut in the selection of a jut!p. It m:iy b per-riKe-l to remind the governor that one of the ery Important duties of the Incumbent i that of henrinsj cae dealir.tr with violation of law and especially of the liquor l.iw. It miht be well for the povrnor to go carefully Into the matter of endorsements alonjr thin line and in that connection the offenders have given jome very srood tevimonial of character. If the covernor will examine the, record of the city courts he will discover that all of those who .ire mentioned In this connection have filled that position at times. I'o?ibly by merely checkln? ip th Judge who was mot feared by the lawless element and to whom they objected most strongly, the governor can find his cue to the right man for the place. The man hated hy the hootlegger ought to satisfy the law abiding. Under that t'vt In J. Oare i.s not to be. passed ly lightly. o A LIVING WAGE. Out of the present strife and chaos In industry may come nn effort to definitely determine, as a matter of law, what constitutes a "livinsj wage." Such 1 the announcement of Senator Cummins, author of the railway bill under which the first test s produced a strike that threatens to spread and rnxif only trouble. U'orklnar men will be Interested In this proposal. That puts the ray envelope into politics directly and definitely, for If a precedent be established by the passage of ouch a law, the bill can be. amended from time to time to fit the political necessities of the hour. It is taken for granted, of course, that Congress will attempt no Puch futile endeavor as to fix a definite um as the least wage to be paid to any worker. That would get no place at all. for no matter how high or how low the figure is set, three months would enable thce who wished to evade It to devise a nchme for either lowering or raisin? the value of the dollar to suit their purposes. In the early beginnings of Industry In this country a dollar day was a wage to be considered with respect. That dollar would pay the rent, buy the food and clothes, provide a few simple amusements of the day and leave a little left over at the end of the year. Today the valu rf the dollar Is uch as to make i.s beneath the notice of any office hoy who consents to take a Job. What ought to be the standard. If the law Is to fix standards, by which the value of labor is to be measured?

A comfortable home must be taken for granted.

Sufficient food for a family of average fize is axiomatic. dothng for comfort would be written into the standard, of course. Ileyond that there world begin to creep In differences of opinion a. to what a living wag really is. There are such thing as Insurance, doctors' bills, amusement, the education of children to be considered. There js also the basic fnct that the standards of life differ in different parts of the nation and that anv effort to change standards of life brings protest Witness the lengths to which certain new citizen, accustomed from birth to te use of wines, go in their efforts to circumvent the. Volstead act. What will be th standard made by Congressmen who are hunting votes to hold thir own Jobs? It mny be beside t mark to suggest that this newest suggestion 1 the logical outcome of the theory of government tspouscd by the party In pnn er. That party has stood for a widemng ami broadenirg f;f federal powers tc the exclusion of state and !ocal governments. In a dozen years, under this policy of bureaus and government direction, the number 'of Inspectors mployed by the ovrnmrtt ha incread from 20o to 4 2,0 00. This Is Indicative of the r.ew powers :akn over by the government, more significant and important than the. fact that th vat army of 'tfderal agents adds enormously to the tax bills. Carried to It Icglca": conclusion the policy of governmental control must te socialism In action, whether It bo by that name or not. The precedent for establishing fair returns to labor U found !n the law which limits the fair leturns of promts on public utilities for no one will tare to suggest that labor, in one aspect. Is not the crentest of all utilities. It took a great crisis to produce the suecestion, 1 ut the present situation In the lndutr;al world is more, frauKht with possibilities than has been any former cluh between labor and capital. A lefta-l standard cf living and of earning is very far removed from the theory of Individualism and of competition. It Is paternal!m carried to it '.epical end. It may "be necessRjry, but before it is attempted worker? and employers should at least he;tate long enough to ak where it leads to. o AMERICAN STANDARDS. Iiefore CotifT Keta its mirvd turned to the standard of a lfrtrar wge. It might be well to direct their attention to what th present system I doing for those who labor. In the month of June th output of all automobile factories of this country wa 2 7 1.000 cars. Outside of the United States, in which 10.500.000 autos are owned, there are but 3.000.0C0 autos in the entire world. In these three millions are Included all the cars T.aJe in the pan twenty years an! tili capable of use. Multlrly the outr-ut for June by twelve months and this country would produce in a iur.gie ear

moir au!omd!j;lf . than are In u? in other lands and nations. The number owned in America Is or.e for every tn men. women arl children, or tw for every arh five average f .n.ili's of this country. That nvan :hit a living wage for a very large p'r:,rn of tl. r 1 1 ri and wmen who work for wa? h.i bion ;.'d to a standard that includes automo-bi.-. f..r the man or woman who beom accus'I 1 this modern convenience f-e'.dom giv- it i; .-.tid under a system that places no maximum limit upon earnings, they generally get a new one to replace the one worn out. This bit of auto stat'ot.'cs might also suggest that the average of prosperity In this country is considerably higher than in any other country ,m earth. Divide th three millions of auto among civilized lar fl- and they carce will match the number of tbe wealthy and the powerful with none for those who .'etually labor and draw wages. Try to .'catUr the ten and a half millions In AmerSa and you must Include large numbers of wage arners or give the others about four each. The American standard of life runs level with the progress of cience, Invention, ne v means uf comfort. The luxury of today is the necessity of tomorrow. There Sfl no thir.,7 of material comfort winch long remaiie beyond the reach of any roan or woman willing to labor and who does labor. Consreis might bear this fact in mind. It will be important when they fix the standard of living wage. o ILiCIIELOIGlRLS. A Pennsylvania preacher on Sunday evening told his ccngrfgation It was a hame that the comic papers and the Jesters made fun of the bachelor girl,. as he saw In the preponderance of women, In numbers, an evidence of divine will that there should always be a large number of unmarried women. Carried away by enthuiaftm for his theme, he said that it is undeniably true that the reason most women do not marry Is because they do not have satisfactory offers, and from this he argued that the bachelor frlrls are the superior women of each age. That must have been a most consoling evening for any ladies In the audience who have followed the path of single blessedness. Unfortunately, when he begins to draw contrasts between the married and unmarried women and attempts to grant a superior classification to either, he overlooks some very important facts. The greatest of these facts is t.ie prevalence of war in every age which has wiped out large numbers of men. Thifl it a condition that will be remedied soon. The real war upon war began with the granting of suffrage to woman. Out of the candidates for congress this year, there are over a dozen women and these, without reference to partisan affiliations, have united on the single plank that they wdll back any movement to bring peace perpetually to the world. That drive for peace, not confined by any means to this nation but having; with it the moral force of women of every civilized land, Is the protest of woman against the Involuntary bachelorhood of woman of any country through lack of opportunity. It is a brave pouI that endeavors to draw the line between clasfe of woman, but there will be few who will agree that the avoidance of the marriage altar shows any -.special claim to genius or superiority. It .la true that many of the outstanding genulses 'arriong women have been single, ray your tribute to Francis "VVlllard, Jane Addams, Susan B. Anthony, Clara Ttarton. Florence Nightingale. And after you have paid it, remember that the woman who has risen to tlio highest pinnacles of fame and reverence has done so by transferring to causea their instinct of motherhood. Go one step farther and ask yourself whether there would be one of these illustrious women who would not have traded her place in history with that of the mother of Lincoln. And if you get that far, you may also recognize the fact that there Is not a mother In the world, no matter where she be, who would trade her own son, bad, Indifferent or failure though he be, for any of the most famous sons of history. The bachelor girl is making her place in the world. It Ls a fine, enviable and honorable place. ItMi to think that It is especially designed by an all wise Providence for a pedestal above that of mothers of nun is burdening that power with a new and unnecessary load. o READY FOR AIR. The government has Just spent J 200,000 for tire?. They will not be used on autos but for airplanes now ir use in thstfmail service. S.rce the threat of a tiup of the railways through ptiikes, you find creeping into the press dispatches the news that many cities are offering landing fields for airplanes in order that the mails will not be interrupted. If you take the word of Col. J. G. Vincent of Detroit, one of the men who designed the famous Liberty motor, it will soon be common for families to tour the country in large aerial limousines. lie believes that new types will be invented, combining speed with safety, and that the present generation will come to look on a Sunday trip from this city to the mountains of Colorado with no more excilement than it contemplates today the loading of the flivver with a picnic lunch and starting for I.Ake Michigan. Within the next two weeks there will be launched in the east a machine specifically designed to carry mall and express. If it is the success It is expected to be, it will revolutionize schedules for deliveries on perishable matter and, among other things, eliminate several hundreds of millions of dollars now wasted each ear on the transfer of clearances between banks. That is the bright .Me of civilization, drawing the mind away from strife, hatreds and useless quarrels. Man is inventing new things, new means of eliminating waste, new mean of creating wealth. Look up. It is quite rosible that the air will bring the next change in commerce and Industry.' m o Men are lucky. None of them can -understand a woman.

YOUR HEALTH

By Dr. R. S. CopelanrJ

You remomiber the young curate In 'The vorcerer": Had I a headache? sighed the maids assmiblftd; Had I a cold? welled forth the client tear; Did I look pa.le? then half the. parisft trenVhled; And when I coughed! all thought the end was near. Fear is at the foundation of many of our ilLi. It Ifl strango that hTiman experience goes for so little when we measure our own disabilities, or those of our immediate family. We are sine enough when other folks are .troubled, but In estimating the significance of our own symptoms too many of u lose all power of d:ognosing. The natural tendency of disease is toward recovery. Remember that. If it were not so the first illness would be likely to prove fatal. Before your last s'ckneH arrives you will have a hundred illnesesi from which you will recoter fully. The trouble with society Is, it hes a subconscious conviction that Its manner of life is .wrong and when. Illness arrives It bring the fear that nature has rebelled at last and will enforce her claims. 'The deivll was sick, the devil saint would be." Fear! Uso Common Scnsc. No wonder the trib' of the earth have nought to find --"me drug to rob the human hear A fear. If you are afraid .very time you get sick, avoid the manifest cause. of Ill-health. You know how to keep well, or you can te taught how to keep well. But if you llve'th? wrong sort of a life nnd then when you do get sick are scared half to dcr.th. you will be assisted in that t direction pretty rapidly. Likewise, if hose about ycu, your familv and friends, hive hearts fill

ed with fear, -you will be given llttic real arista nee toward recovery. If every symptom you have headache, running nxo, paleness, a cough excites ihe family, you will react to their fear arJ be fearful yourself. Use common sense about acute Illness and about per.si.-n.ent .n-heuth. With the exception of tue contagious diseases for each of which there Is a specific germ. ..here are underlying, even though obscure, causesi for sickness. Illneiss is rarely a suddenly sent thing. It doers not come li'.ce a bolt out of the blue. It givrf warning of ita approach. There may be a cloud on the horizon no larger than a man hand. But that cloud givevs warning cf -what may happen. Points t- nW.T. Almost always .ilness is din to neglect. Theire are cena:r very commonly overlooked causes for sioknesf. You can not expect to have good health l! th?re is an orpon grnwing the term' of disease. Yet lots of people have that state of affairs going on In their bodies ami never give rh? matte- thought until acute Mines arrives. Then there la a frenzy rr fear. Bad teeth an 1 gum and diseased tonsils are res-ponsihle for many aliments. A germ-Laden intestine is another breeding place for disease producing germs. Ulcerative and pus-forming1 con-ditions of other orgms constitute a fourth chief cause for ill-health. Tho Interesting and triking thing r.hout these ca-itrfs of infection 's that the excit ng trouble ? usually painless, and unless the causes cf ill-health are sought for they, may be overlooked. If you are not well don't give way to a panic of fear. Sit down calmly and study yourself oml your habits. What I wrong about you? ' What Is wrong with your way? of 1 ; v i n g ? Knowledge dispels fear.

A MODIHtN CTUSI'. In olden days when hate grew hot, The days of brave Sir Liuncelot, In classic phrao or rhythmic verse At enemies they launched a curse. "A plague besiege you." they would cry, "Mav von be withered. arm and thigh!" When ansrer rofe to fever heat The maddened person would repeat Some prayer unto the imps below To blind or lame his hated foe. "A murrain seize you!" he wouM shout ' "And wipe your generation out." No torture known o human ken Was overlooked by cursing men. "May apciplexy end your ra e. And smallpox scar your ugiy face: In agony." the knight would cry "May you and all your family die;'

The custom ha parsed out. 'Tis well. 'Tis cot good taste for men to jell In hate such harsh and ugly things, Or pray the pain disaster brings. Yet still there stays one goodly plan In hate to curse a golfing man. T would not pray that he should ni.ect An accident along the street, A torture infinitely worse Would be the burden of my curse. Thi I would cry: "While you're alive May you forever slice your drive! "P.ague on your game of golf," I d cry; "May you forever lift your eye. May you be prey to trap and ditch And always shank your niashie pitch. While you and all your tribe survive May you forever slice your drive!" (Copyright. 1P22.)
