FRIDAY. MORNING, JAN. 11. 1924. i ARGUMENT WITHOUT ANGER.

Readers of English novels will have noted the prominent part that political discussion takes in the social life of that country. At the house parties and dinner parties ana other gatherings of the leading social sets, political argument seems to be the center oi attention. It is represented that people of most diverse views get together and exchange ideas without showing feeling or temper. Political discussion does not figure so much in.social life in America. It is regard in many circles as too dull and heavy, and there is a demand for lighter therilesr.

This is unfortunate, as the conduct of government is a matter affecting dally life in its most minute particulars. People who are ambitious and progressive ought to be deeply concerned about it. But there is another reason why political discussion figures less in social life than in some other countries. Americans are less phlegmatic and more nervous and high strung than some other peoples. They often refrain from discussing political themes, fearing to start unpleasant and heated talk.

persons of opposite views get to discussing politics, they commonly find it difficult to reach any common ground. One will assert somewhat violent views on his side, the other will reply by similar attacks from the opposite point of view. Frequently they become angry, and many family and personal quarrels have started from such incidents. This is regrettable, as people of opposite points of view need to exchange opinions. If they could curb their tempers a little more, and state their views witn less irritation, extreme ideas would be modified and political opponents would find more common ground on which' they could co operate.

We can't see but that the Government at Washington functions every bit as well without as with a Vice President. The meek may inherit the earth sometime, but right now they couldn't be said to have a strangle hold on it. CHILD LABOR. There will be much controversy over various proposed constitutional amendments, but on one of them there should be pretty 'general agreement, that there ought to be some provision by which Congress can regulate child labor. The states ought to have a uniform practice In this matter, otherwise states that want to protect their children will be unable to do so on account of competition with others.

The state that works its children too early is like the improvident farmer who ground his seed corn. It fed him for the time being, but he had nothing to plant when the spring came. The children are the Nation's seed corn, and they must be saved to develop finer and better institutions. It will be a fortunate day for mankind when the European world quits thinking about arms and turns its thought to the duty of hands, heads and hearts. One of the principal troubles with this country is that there are too many worthless politicians on the public payrolls.

NATURAL SELECTION. Some modern philosophers think that the only permanent way for the human race to make progress is through the evolutionary process of natural selection. The fittest will survive, they say, and eventually assure the progress of the race. Helping the unfit to survive through charities and philanthropies, they say, may tend to weaken the race as a whole. The trouble with that theory is that it places too high a value on material power.

The moral and spiritually fit are at a disadvantage under Buch a system, as they are not usually so good at war and fighting. The world needs something other than physical power and material efficiency. If the Nations of the Old World would but emulate the example of the several states of the American Union and dwell together in peace and neighborliness and go to work, the salvation of the whole world would be assured. Gas may decide future wars, as the scientists predict, but It will hardly be the deciding factor In the next great political battle, provided Calvin Coolidge is the leader, as he probably will be, of one of the opposing armies.

According to the very latest statistics 90 per cent of the silk hose bought in America is purchased by men. This would seem to dispose of the oft repeated statement that the modern mania for silk hose that has attacked the fair sex is hurrying the head of the family into bankruptcy.

Modern girls have often been compared, to their great dis only wore woolen hose, but knitted them themselves. But the masculine toilers like their own feet shod in soft silk quite as well as their sisters do. It is somewhat surprising to learn that women buy 50 per cent of all the automobiles sold. Considering the limited number of women figuring in automobile accidents and the fact that they buy one half of the output of the four wheeled chariots, this proves they are even better drivers than formerly supposed. The fair driver does not take chances Burying Talents.

The" old days 'when meager sums were doled out to the helpmeet have largely passed and the husband usually places his money in a joint account and leaves the buying end to the wife, being content with bringing home nothing more than the bacon.

The people who refuse these chances to exercise leadership limit their future and contract their sphere of usefulness. They come to be regarded as people who lack sufficient force and self assertion to assume responsibility.

They may be very admirable and charming persons, but they are frequently failing to exercise the talents that thev Scriptures for the man who took hia talent and buried it in the earth. So" the people who fail to exercise their powers suffer a contraction of those powers. Talents grow as they are used, but if not used they decline. Brookhaven (Miss.) Leader. Saving the Lives of Miners.

Coal mining is still a dangerous occupation, but happily the danger is decreasing. A report from the bureau of mines shows that the cost of coal, ton for ton, in the number of lives lost decreased 14 per cent ill 1923 as compared with 1922. Each million tons of coal mined up to the end of November in 1923 cost 3.8 lives, while the corresponding fatality rate last year was 4.42. This excellent showing was made in spite of the serious disaster at Beckley, West Virginia, in November, when twenty seven deaths resulted from a gas explosion. The reduction of risk runs through all the principal classes of mine accidents, a fact which is interpreted by the bureau as indicating a higher degree of caution among miners and better conditions in the mines rather than mere luck.

Bringing the staple of our industrial society out of the earth involves risks which seem to encourage fatalism. But the excellent work of the bureau of mines in breaking down recklessness and compelling safety devices to be installed is effecting a steady improvement in this all important occupation. New York Herald. Flipness and Flapness. A writer in a current publication deplores the tendency toward flipness in the young people of today.

He considers it demoralizing to true manhood and womanhood. True, every word of itlamentably true. But he might have gone further and equally deplored the tendency of many parents to encourage flipness and flapness in their offspring. There are Borne parents who exercise exceeding care in the training of their children, and such children invariably mature into real men and women. There are others who calmly watch their sons develop into sheiks and their daughters into flippers and flappers without any apperent effort to prevent this deformity of mind and perversion of intellect.

The parent who has no thought of tomorrow can hardly expect the child to heed the dangers of today. Place the responsibility where it belongs, drive it home, and perhaps some good may come of it. No other course will avail. Weakley County (Tenn.) Press. By Asseelatd Press.
