I VOICE OF THE PEOPLE DANCING WITH THE BEAR. Japan quasi oflicially says that the ecstasies of Russia over the Japanese-Russian treaty are inconvenient and not understood. The Russians have hung out the flags, beaten the drums and burned red fire as if eelebrating something while the rest of the world could read 'em and weep. The Japanese say there is nothing to this at ail. They do not intend to disquiet any one.

Their affection for their old. allies Is strong and they do not know what the shouting in Russia is all about. It is almost an apology. A new guest has been introduced. Ile seems to have taken off his shoes and gone to the piano.

The punch may have gone to his head. Strange. because it was so weak, just a dash of claret. It is most embarrassing. Maybe hell quiet down after a while.

Whoever has danced with that bear has got the cooties. Ramsay MacDonald did. Iierriot walks considerably out of his way if he sees Krassin first The dictatorship of the proletariat has not kept faith with anything least of all with its Own doctrines. The one thing it is steadfast in is the retention and extension of power. Its political prisoners are as numerous as the czar's were and worse treated.

A political prisoner may be a small shopkeeper whose political offense was trying to earn a living. Ile may be a communist who did not like the retreat from communism or he may be one who liked it too much. A political offense may be selling too many lead pencils or not giving up enough wheat. It is the most unscrupulous tyranny the world has known and a dance with the bear means cooties and cracked ribs. water for cleansing utensils, container and cows.

TUE state of Louisiana ts anxious to develop a dairy industry. At the same time it wants to promote the health of young children. These desires run parallel. A dairy in-, dustry that does not produce wholesome milk will never thrive permanently. Nothing so promotes the welfare of the dairy industry as confidence in the safety of milk drinking; In order to promote these ends the state board of health invited the American Child Health association to investigate the quality of milk sold in twelve cities and towns.

This organization took about 1,600 samples of milk from about 1.000 dairies and examined them in various ways. Of these samples 220 were found to be very dirty. 369 were dirty. 381 were slightly dirty. 435 were fairly clean, and were clean.

This examination consisted in looking for visible dirt in the bottom of the bottle. The bacteria counts ranged from 2,000 per c.c. to about 11.000,000. The sanitary scores of the dairies were low. About as low as the reports of dirt In the milk and the bacterial counts lead One to expect.

There was a fair amount of cheating. Sixty-one of the samples coming from forty-five dairies were shown to have been watered. Six samples of what was sold as whole milk were found to have been skimmed. In the year in which this survey was made 36,000 cows were examined by the tuberculin test. Most of the milk was far warmer than milk can be in justice to the product and with safety to the Infant consumer.

The dairymen producing milk for the Louisiana market appear to be sufficiently alive to the advantage of tuberculin testing. They are not properly cleanly in their methods of milking and of marketing milk. They need to improve these methods if they are to develop a great dairy industry. They do not use pasteurization to make their product safe to a degree that the method is used elsewhere. The report says: 4.

Clean, safe milk requires: Clean barns and milk houses. 2. Cows kept clean and free from disease. 3. Healthy, clean operators.

4. Steam (or hot water) and cold FOR MORE RADIO ADDRESSES. Iowa City. March 5.I firmly believe the Inauguration address of Ptesident Coolidge went farther to inspire Americanism and to restore confidence in the minds of the American people than anything yet attempted along this line. Radio made this possible.

If it were not an imposition on our President, how logical it might be to bear a message from our chief executive occasionally over the radio, that millions might get his words of inspiration and good advice, all of which would prove of the greatest help to our country and of vast benefit to our social, moral, and commercial conditions. The younger generation who were privileged to hear President Coolidge yesterday wiil profit by his words of wisdom and become better citizens. ItosEnT N. 11 MR.

writes: Is it healthful to have plants in a sleeping room? As a rule it is. Unless the air of the room is reasonably moist and cool the plants will die. They will not thrive unless some tmnlight gets Into the room. Therefore a plant in a bedroom is a lair meter for measuring hva, Plants add a little moisture to air. Some of the water evaporates front the leaves and some from the moist earth required by the plant.

Therefore plants add a little to the wholesomeness of the air. A few people are unduly sensitive to plant odors. Such people should not have plants in their bedroom. A FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING BOOM. The adoption of the Dever traction plan by the people means that construction work of 6400.000,000 will be started.

This will build 218 miles of elevated railroad, 247 miles of surface line, and 68 miles of subway. It will be continuous work. Sixty-eight miles of subway will not meet the city's requirements. The ystem will be added to year by year. This Is not construction work such as was done for the Worlds Fair.

It Is not a boom which is to lapse or collapse. It Is not construction which is to be torn down or to fall into disuse. It is addition to the permanent wealth of the city. It means employment, steady jobs at good wages. It is not only work In construction of lines and subways but more work in electric Industries, In the utilities which must readjust their service to rew underground galleries.

in car building and general equipment. As transportation is extended to regions which now have poor service or none. It veans building construction. The building trades fo'low the transportation lines. A new elevated etztion or a subway station means a new communi'y with homes.

offices, stores, theaters, and schools. This will be a boom which settl spread far and wide. It means continuous activity. It is cumula4 tive and continuing. It is the equivalent of build114g hard roads into region which has been stuck In the mud.

BILLY MITCHELL Gen. William Mitchell, general for a few more days while he remains assistant chief of the army air services says that when he returns to the rank of colonel he would like to be assigned to the 6th corps area, which would have Chicago his headquarters, and have charge of a school of aviation. Ile will not resign from the service and be a candidate for congress. Gen. Mitchell was a bad boy and he had to be sent to his room if the army was to remain an army, but we do not regret that he was bad.

He had to be demoted or all the chiefs with whom he was fighting had to resign, but he made American aircraft deficiencies stand out in the light. He is an air man and thinks only of the air. If he had been opposed in his idea of organization of the department of the air and independent operation of the air force by a cavalry commander or a general of the line it would only have been a conflict between different branches of the service. The opposition to him came from Pershing and chiefs who are in position to see the whole service with the whole eye. Foch in France, Pershing here, and the high command everywhere, even in Great Britain, where the separate air ministry still persists, know all branches must act together and that the air cannot act Independently.

Mitchell has stimulated the establishment of an adequate American air force. It cost him his rank. but well be glad to have him as a colonel enlivening the 6th corps area. i JEST A SONG AT Irwrracrr.

FROM THE TRIBUNE'S COLUMNS I 1 60 YEARS AGO TODAY NOT A BIT PIGGISH.

Chicago, March 12.In a long ride, way on an express run, where we sit the whole time while others stand. don't we sometimes feel a little bit piggish? So why not take turns? It could be done very nicely and easily. When we get tired of sitting, why not stand up, so that if there are any who ought to sit they may have a chance to get seats? Often a few minutes' rest means a great deal. It might be a convenient way to escape roasting over the hot pipes that often do double duty under the car seats. Or a draft might be bothering us.

Giving up part of our ride today would mean our getting a seat another time when we might be tired and glad of the opportunity. A1 we need is to establish the precedent. Turn about Is fair plat.

They are saying that it should oe given honored place in the next anthology of American verse.

The Other Side iJ OF JAITlirtitGli Alm Chicago, March editorial ht which Emil Jennings is given credit for being the screen's greatest actor is refreshing, if somewhat belated. Since our first glimpses of him in Panden and "Gypsy Blood some of as have sot been so tardy in our ePPreciation- C121 fact you neglected to mention, however, is that Jennings never could have heed to achieve any great degree of success in American made movies.

JAY Dine fine.

CONCERNING WESTERNS. All this censoring of wild west movies is just about two years too late. The westerns used to draw the crowds because they Phowed Hollywood nymphs being rescued by bad men from worse men. There was plenty of hard riding. There was also plenty of quick drawing and fancy two gun shooting.

It's the bad rnen and the shooting the censors are distressed about. They think little boys will become bandits through seeing so much gun play. Two years too late. There is no more shooting for shooting's sake In the westerns. The Covered Wagon showed that the sweep of American history Is screen stuff and it gets the crowds.

The old type of western which Dill Hart had virtually copyrighted is dead. Nowadays the westerns teach history and economics and sociology and pride of birth. The shooting remains, but It is no longer the works. The Indians ambush us as our covered wagons blaze the trail of empire and our steel rails link the seas. We shoot the redskins not to shed blood but because they oppose destiny.

There's no Lobility in the shooting. The nobility Is In our empire. Maybe this "Deadwood Coach" and Thundering Herd" ere of the old bite-the-dust school. If they are, the public will take care of the censoring. MARCH 13, 1865.
