That we got from the 'world an eqflvalent for what we give to it. That what we see in the faces of others js reflected from our own.

That Introspeption is for correction, but morbid self censure 'deteriorates, moral fibre. 1 That fear, deterrent and baleful to adolescence, is dissipated by understanding.

(Copvrighted 1926, Famous Features Syndicated Inc.) Eees, Bring Wealth From the Swamps jWAYCROSS, Ga. Jani ,21 (AP) Though never fully explored by man, Okefenokee swamp, known to the Indians as the lapd of trembling earth, has been encompassed by an industry of 400,00900 timy workers. last link of a 200 mil6 chaine of beehives ha3 -just "been completed within the 600 square miles of spongy land, located in southern Georgia and xiorthern Florida. Abounding in thousands of flowers, gall berries, tupelo and black gums and red bays, the swamp now supplies a large part of the -honey in eastern and southern inarkets.

Besides the treacherous earth! the beekeepers have other obstacles. Bears have- learned to protect themselves from the bees while satisfying ther appetite for honey.

Mans Jujlge WICHITA, Jan. 21 (AP) -p -court in Which lawyer is admitted, except as a spectator, where there are no court attaches, no office equipment, no permanent records and which meets at' the and place most suitable to the -litigants, is conducted here by David D.J Leahy, veteran newspaper man. The jurisdiction oNthe court is limited to the- city and- -to sums of money not to exceed $20. Often -cases involving less than a dollar are heard. Ordinarily after Judge Leahy has rendered a decision, payment is made op the spot.

When judgment i- i not paid he sends notice of it to the cflerk of (She district counj; and it executed in the same way as apy other judgments are executed. The court was created-Jby the legislature. About years ago Judge Leahy took it over. -In less than a year he has Jieard more than 300 cases and ptA one DOLLAR DIPLOMACY. Following an investigation by its agents the department of commerce announces that investments made by citizens of the United States in Latin America now reach a grand total of four billions of dollars.

Today a new loan of $6,500,000 for the Province of Mendoza, is offered to the public. It comes" on the heels of the $27,000,000 Argentine Government loan offered last Friday. Which would seem to indicate that the icommitments of the United1 States in Latin America are increasing, lather than decreasing. Of these four billions only a comparatively small part is invested in Nicaragua. Yet to protect1 the Nicaraguan interests Secretary Kellogg sends in marines, establishes neutral zones, takes part in a revolution and thereby causes alarm over the intentions of the United States throughout the whole of Latin America.

In other words, to sav a small amount he rpns the risk of placing the whole four billions of dollars of investments in jeopardy. This may he goocl diplomacy from Secretary Kelloggs standpoint, hut it can hardly1 be called good i I has been appealed. i I have no right, but I have as good a right as yoii.

WORK OUT OWN From Owensboro Messenger) The individual who istthrown upon his own resources, in a great many instances becomes the man upon whom others depend His growth, mental and physical, is more1 than likely to be of a substantial. character. When his persevera'nce and pluck Is crowned with siiccess, wll may he take pride in the accomplishment.

His family and friends honor him. To them he typifies the spirit that has made American business jnen and their methods- the enyy of ihe'world. I A city like an individual is no greater in 'wealth strength or otherwise than its citizens make it. It matters not how much wealth, how great the natural advantages of the place, if the peo- pie who live there allow the wealth and advantages to lie dormant, it will never, grow. Owensboro has the wealth, it has the natural advantages far excess of most cities.

Its health and climate are advantages that many cities would give untold millions to possess. Why should not Owerisboro be the master of its own destiny, why should foreign capital and brains be looked 'for in the de--velopment of the city? Why is it, that opportunity after opportunity present themselves, only to be allowed to be killed quickly To break up a cold overnight or to cut short an attack of grippe, influenza, sorq JJjipat or tonsi-litis, physicians and druggists are now recommending Calotabs, the purified and refined calomel com (The following 'is taken from 'an editorial in The Independent, a national weekly, whose editor, Christian -A. Herter, was secretary to Herbert cover until two years ago.) There is something- to hide. The whole affair is full of shabby excuses and frowsy protestations Until- the native apolopists" became vocal, we; thought that the landipg of marines was done to protect American interests, a police measure! in an anarchic condition. But listen to the gorgeous Diaz: Nicaragua does, not want to be a European -'colony, ror does it want to be a satellite of Mexico.

From the fate of Mexican domination it sees its only salvation' iff the protecting hand its great North American brother, He adds: This solicitation bf American intervention to protect Mexican interven laudable nreced-not unworthy of any small sovereign state to seek the aid of a strong nation to protect its sovereignty and territory against the armpd aggression of a stronger power, witness Belgium Of course the case of Bels-ium was so totally different as to have no relevarip at all in the spacious plea of, this no altogether disinterested patriot. But the interesting thing in his ingenuous statement is the 'ward intervention. Apparently, ourj good hired men, the marines, Jiave not landed to protect American property, but to intetvene in "a civil war between two factions in a sovereign state.y 1 i Now, even if 'Mexico Ts sending illegal filibustering expeditiohs to support the liberal movement, what call" or reason has the United States to send legal, official American military to support the conservative forces? None whatever, I according to our simple old-fashioiied turn' mind. It is not our. affair in, any way at all to interfere in thd pepper pot of Nicaraguan politics.

Our navy and marihe corps do not exist to make the World safe for Nicaraguan loans. Our-- state department has, or should have, longer thoughts and wiser policies than the will to act- as the collection agent for American or European interests. The Monroe Doctrine cannot be stretched to counteract the propaganda of another American republic in Latins America. Tho, whole incident smells bad ly. The nervous Kellogg and his banking friends1 have venturned to thrust a 'timid toe into a black, cold, murky stream, and to their dismay, they find themselves engulfed way over their hip boots, arctics and congress gaiters.

They'attem-f by camou flage and censorship to caver their dilemma, but the candid Diaz, their partner in the adventure, speaks up from the other hank loud and" clear in open meeting. American intervention, he says, -is for him and his friends preferable to Mexican intervention which helps his opponents We have intervened, it seems, in Central America. We are deciding hov our neighbor shall rule his own household. And Jhen, to cap the climax, comes the president who urges us to support with" a united front the foreign policies of the state-department. Not for us, until we know more about them! Not until we feel that our crude dollar diplomacy is tempered by a more abstract sense of justice and fair play! The elaborate explanations of the 'and navy, departments are not good enougnThey fail to convince.

The I United States has walked in where decent angels fear to tread. Tne only gesture it can make and save its self-respect is to walk out again, or to specify just-, what American property or American lives ard in such danger as to require that which only the strong can impose on the weak. Mr. Coolidges Statement that' the marines are protecting our right "to build the proposed Nicaraguan canal and a naval base' upon Fonseca hay does not provide the' answer. Both of these are paper rights involving no actual property, and by no stretch of imagination any American' lives.

(From the Herald-Post) The 'decisio in the.

Scopes case is a pitiful example of trimming. Although the judges uphold the 4aw on whichScopes was fined, they advise public officials not to enforce it and timidfy in-ler that it is an unworthy lawC One judge dissented, holding the law unconstitutional because of its vaguer definition of tli offense it punishes. Another had the courage to say that nothing maylvhe taught that isnt approved by God-recognizing leaderS of thought and life, but the verdict-signed by th majority is a. mely-mouthed effort to appease both sides of the controversy. Althougl the judgment' is reversed because of Judge Raulstons error in.

assessing too large a fine the upper court does not direct a new trial. On the contrary, the court suggests -that the chargq'Fe quashed, because its further prosecution would injure, instead of redress the peace and dignity of the1 state. This is a( remarkable confession. It is tantamount to saying that the law is derogatory to thepeace and dignity of the state, for a law caff not be dissociated from the efforts required to enforce it. In effect, the court says, guit prosecuting under $ie provisions of this law.

ffliis is simply high legal advice to practice nullificationof a law. so damaThg to the good name of the state. While the law forbids the teaching of the theory asit applies to man, the court takes consolation in the fact that it doesnt compel the teaching of anything contrary to that theory. Pursuing this thought -the court says, Our school 'authorities are, therefore," quite free to determine how. they shall ajt in this state of the law.

You may not teach evolution, but you dont have to teach anything contradicting it. Wfiat is the happy solution to this state of laty? Trust the court to hit upon.it this course of study may be entirely omitted irom the curriculum of our schools. If this is a misfortune, blame iton the Legislature. The freedom of educators to determine how they shall act is the freedom to quit teaching biology. That is the same quality of freedom as a man behind the bars' possesses for roaming around.
