THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL IS THE NATION'S APPEAL The country is unanimously back of the President's appeal to congress for expeditious, legislation.

Until these obstructions to healthy restoration of the national energies are removed the nation must remain weak and half paralyzed.

THE Eugenics Review, a British publication, gives space to a report of an American eugenics meeting at Cold Springs Harbor in which the future of the German people was the subject of discussion.

The German birth rates and death rates always have been comparatively high. The birth rate, which always was well over forty fifty years ago, had fallen to a little more than half that figure a few years before the world war. Even at that, it was fairly well above the death rate. Since 1914 it has been less than the death rate until recently, but In all probability now is above it. Nevertheless, those in authority are keenly alive to the situation.

Then the tears flow. And he doesn't know anything about it. The Most Beautiful Thing in the World!

The present tax commission under the existing law is a toothless wolf.

abounds in clauses conferring on government powers to do welfare work in promoting Increase of population as well as care of the people. Article 4 says the national government, in conjunction with the states, shall exercise the right of legislation over population policies, provisions affecting mortality of babies, young children and adolescents, and to promote the public health. Article 9 deals with community welfare. Articles 119 to 134 encourage fecundity and make for the health and welfare of children. Article 119 provides that marriage as the foundation of the family is under the protection of the constitution.

The maintenance of the purity, the health, and the social advancement of the family is the task of the state. Families of numerous children have a claim for compensating care. Motherhood has a claim upon the protection and care of the state. Article 120 says education of their offspring to physical, mental, and social ability is the highest duty of the state. In the eugenics meeting thrfundamental contribution to human advancement of the German peoples was frankly stated.

The world ends fault with the policy of those who conceived it to be the duty of the German government to retain their population In Germany and to otherwise build up a surpassing war machine for the purpose of Imposing by force and right of conquest their superior civilization on others. Their basic idea was correct. But they were wrong in building around it a structure of chauvinism, local patriotism, undue advantage to themselves, gain and all through power. They attempted to do by force and immediately, and for advantage, things which should and would work out if left to work themselves out. They conclude The present (recent) war is the mandate that Germany continue its old service to humanity by supplying sterling and assimilable reproductive human stock both to its young and virgin and to Its old and sterile contem-.

Wilson of his, famous principle of open covenants, openly arrived at." was a defeat for the Democratic and peace bringing elements of the post-war situation. We have never approved the naive interpretation of this formula advanced by impracticals. It is Impossible to conduct complicated negotiations touching delicate relations by town meeting methods. There are things which for a time can not be made public without defeating the purpose of negotiation and even Inflaming hostilities to the point of war. But there Is a vast difference between throwing the doors wide open to the press and keeping them tight closed as at Paris while feeding the public with doctored reports.

Congressional prdnouncements, in any case, cannot bind any of the conferees except our own. But we are inclined to believe that an emphatic expression of opinion in favor of the utmost practicable publicity would have a desirable effect at this time. There are general policies and proposals which should be frankly and openly discussed in order that the public opinion of all nations may pass upon them before decisions are reached, and in order that all nations may know what the main tendencies and intentions of other nations are. We in America at least accept the dictum of Mr. Balfour, who has said that democracy is government by public opinion," and now that all governments, save that of Japan, are democratic, the play of public opinion upon international policies should be not only permitted but encouraged.

If we are to have peace It must be founded on public opinion and upon terms approved by public opinion. But there can be no such peace unless opinion is given a chance through publicity to formulate' and make its conclusions et-1 fective at the conference. go for amusement. how late be esa stay out nights. when he should get the morning.

It is hoped that there is some opposition organized to place before congress the views of the multitude who believe in religious rights, which are a part of religious freedom. .1 a member of the Presbyterian church. and believe in religion of your own choice, that is religious freedom.

I also believe that if a man professes no religion that is his rights the same as It is mine to choose tny church, and to try to force the beliefs of some one else down his throat is going to do no good, but will simply be distasteful besides taking away his religious rights. It goes without argument that there are no red blooded Americans among the ministers who are backing this movement. They don't want Sunday golf. tennis, baseball, movies, etc. No, of course not, and I dare say none of them ever took part in one of these amusements on a week' day, either.

The question to be considered is where are these antis taking us? When one sees ministers back of a movement like this it almost makes feel like de-flouncing religion. What is their object in this rurrIzz-rient? Not to make our country a more Christian nation. because a child can see it won't. 'Not to make a better country in general, because freedom has always been one of our best assets. It looks like a selfish plan to make everybody see things as they themselves see them.

Raymond I'oineare, former president of France, In writing to intertiret the spirit and purpose of the United States, Fa ay: "Have you ever noticed that the Star Spangle(' Danner is the only flag in the wide world which does not dip before the bead of a state, a king, or resident? That is a little detail, but it is sigiliticant." It is significant, but 90 per cent of the Americans who read it did not know that the ideal of their nation had this ritualistic observance. The flag in the United States is dipped in courtesy to another nation. but never to an individual.

If the French colors saluted the American, the flag of the United States would return' the courtesy, but it would be in salute to the French nation. In the United States the nation, even In ritualism, precedes all personalities: The symbol of the nation cannot, salute even the President of the Fnited States and cannot salute any other ruler of state. In that fact is the revelation of a principle which has made It possible for the United States to draw its citizenship from nearly every quarter of the world and remain a nation.

Why do people like comic These are questions that many have asked and that many keep asking.

Itlahy answers have been given hastily, thoughtlessly, sometimes foolishly, and often without information. And yet, to any one possessed of a sense of humor, It would seem just about as reasonable to ask, What's the use of fun? What's the psychology of laughter? With a smile, a chuckle, a laugh, the brain is relieved for the moment from the load it ordinarily The belt slips from the wheel the machinery comes to a stop; there Is a pause at ease. Humor is good for children because it stimulates their accustoms them to sudden surprises. Humor is rest for the adult, it is good for him, because it stops the thinking in the tired part of the mind, transfers it to another part, relieves the nerves. They say laughter distinguishes men from animals.

It is certain that earnest thought distinguishes men from animals. Also certain that it tires men, and that the best, instantaneous relief from tiring thought is found in laughter. To the publisher who must make his newspaper circulate and succeed the comic section is most important. First of all, it interests children, impresses them, and causes them to ask for the particular newspaper that has amused and entranced them. What the children ask for they get, and the newspaper that they like is the newspaper usually that their mothers will read.

And one mother reading a newspaper is better for the publisher than any two menfirst, because she is better; second, because the mothers spend the money, read advertising carefully, because they are economical, thus making. the advertising pay and making the newspaper There is some just, anti more foolish, criticism of tomic newspaper pictures. Some criticize newspaper comics because they do not teach some high moral lesson. That is not Lilte purpose of the comic artist.

Tux Tatat'sm recently suggested the development of a. system of through routes for automobile traffic in Chicago which would allow more unrestricted flow of automobiles, and perhaps of bus lines. thus helping to take a loail off the street cars.

It was argued that by Improving certain through streets, north, eouth, and west, and allow. ing to automobiles the right of way on these streets. unhampered by the sudden turning In of (rose traffic, transportation could be so greatly improved that it would promote the entire growth of the city. Further consideration of the subject has led us to the belief that the general idea might be applied without any improvement of certain streets, but with equal or greater benefit. merely by the promulgation of neceesary traffic regulations.

The city's construction, with the loop as the center of activity. and streets running more or less radially north. south, and west. make it comparatively eagy Thum all north and south streets north of the loop and east, say, of the north branch of the river. could be cleared by ordinance or street regulation for through traffic.

That is no east and west traffic crossing those streets, except perhaps on three or four trunk lines or boulevards such as already exist. could cut into the movement of north and south traffic without coming to a full stop. as is done at present before turning into oe acmes any boulevard. In the same way all north and south streets on the south side east, say, of streets would be cleared for through traffic, while east and west streets, west of the north branch of the river and South Clark street, would be cleared for east and west through traffic. subject to similar restrictions.

This, we believe, would be a comparatively simple matter. It would facilitate the ease and speed of driving Into the loop from any section of the city, and would at the same tittle reduce the present danger of accident at corners where right of way Is in question. It would be as easy for a motorist to stop at a street marked "Right of Way. Stop," -p it Is now for him to stop at a street marked Boulevard.

Notwithstanding the bad condition of both foreign and domestic business, and the fact that there are more than five and a half millions unemployed in the United States, Mr.

Gompers continues to declare that there can be no further reductions in wages. If that 14the case. we may as well abandon our export trade In manufactured goods. and that will bring no relief to the unemployed. And if wages and other manufacturers' costs are to stay where they are, domestic trade also will remain stagnant, for the farmers can not and will not buy at any prices at which the manufacturer can afford to sellthere is no help for the unemployed in this direction.

This is no fault of the manufacturers, for just now it is not they but the farmers who dominate the situation, because of the tremendous fall in the prices of agricultural products, and the consequent reetiction in the farmers purchasing power. They have already taken their losses, and now they are asking everybody else to do the same. Certainly they are not paying last year's wages for agricultural lab410: and if Mr. Gompers could have compelled them to do so, they would have left vast tracts of land untilled and many thousands of laborers unemployed.
