JUNKETS, are' often Aot 'the best J thing in, the world for the diges tive organs, but undoubtedly., they are an excellent diversion for av busy mind. Those whose trials and triba latlons are great, unquestionably find solace in the hours spent gasing through the window of an observa tion ear as a train speeds by pass and valley and around, over and through mountains. The sense of calm and ease that comes to one as he is seated comfortably is a cush ioned chair and peering peacefully at the fleeting countryside is indeed attractive. Perhaps that is the rea son that various city officials find that duty commands them to hurry off to the East frequently or to Call' f ornla, or somewhere "else.

So did a park superintendent. So did a city attorney. The mayor was in California. So was a coramia sioner. So was a police official there studying improved police methods.

" The selection of Senator Underwood is pointed to by Republican editors as proof or the president s sin cerity In approaching the conference in a non-partisan spirit; and while this singleness of purpose " is questioned in a few Democratic papers, most of them accept the naminar of Underwood as generous and deserved recognition of the outstanding figure in the minority party. There is, however, considerable discussion as to the propriety ot either of the senators serving on th delega tion as representative of the president. formed ot coral rock and destitute ot all vegetation, he found It to be the home of an enormous number of rata There was no trace of other. animal life, and it was impossible: to Imagine now, ex cept by continual preying upon one an other, it was possible tor these rats to subsist While seated at the waters edge, turning over the problem in his mind, he noticed some of the rats going down to the edge of the reef lank. hungry-looking creatures they Were, with naked pink tails.

If the selection "had been left to a vote of the people," the Illinois State Journal ( Springfield, Rep.) thinks that Un doubtedly a majority of the votes would have been east" for these four men who are "best fitted from every angle to serve us at the conference." The Bir mingham News presents an estimate of the personnel of the delegation which, except for ,its emphasis on Senator Underwood, is a singularly terse sum ming np of the general view : "Root, a conservative diplomat who has figured tn more than one international parley: Hughes, also a great lawyer, and If his first six months in the department of state may be accepted -as an evidence of his powers, destined to be numbered as one of America's great secretaries of state ; Underwood, unerring, funda mentally sound and experienced in or ganiss&ion and in impressing his powers upon those about him, astute,' a mag nificent conciliator of divided forces; Lodge, a . scholar and a student, and though essentially a practical politician. one who is shrewd and capable and thoroughly versed in the political schools these are they who will speak the speech of Amferica." THE NEXT WAR '(UH government will get along, ; " no matter what the outcome of the conference. We can continue to function with or without confer ences." That is the indirect word sept to 1 the people of the United States by their government to warn them against possible failure of the armament conference. . ,. This government and other govern' ments have "got along" without con ferencea They have "got along" without any organisation to prevent war. 'But in the process the people of the various countries of the world have gone without sufficient food and without clothing and without many of the necessaries and conveniences ot life, to buy armaments. And In . the end, either themselves, their chil dren, or their children's children 'have in turn been torn and muti lated by the armaments that other peoples have purchased at great sac rifice to themselves.

THE THRIFT HABIT A MONO the many who hasten with fa Journal thrift coupons to the Lumbermens Trust company bank housewives are conspicuous. The homemakera promote the habit of thrift. . , Mothers set the example for their children and for their husbands. And they prove their belief that post-war readjustment begins at home. Every deposit accompanying a housewife's thrift coupon Is equlva- of her sister on the outgoing ship. If she does, that ship will carry back to Poland one of the kind of souls that America cannot afford to lose. And she goes back because a law Is so bunglingly administered, through failure to apply the rules overseas, that, through no fault ot their own. families are separated under the shadow of the Statue of Liberty, part permitted to come on to America, and part compelled to return to the land from which they had all fled. COMMENT AND NEWS IN zBRIEF:. 1 The Oregon Country So thoroughly representative of the country Is this delegation that their ap pointment, the Peoria Transcript (Ind.) says, "forecloses on the possibility of a revival of 'group agitation, and the Philadelphia Bulletin (Ind. Rep.) feels that "none of the special interests which have asked" for representation need fear for their particular cause nor -feel a slight of the smallest degree." The president is to be commended, the Balti more Sun (Ind. Dem.) thinks, for re sisting the pressure for class repre sentation, and refusing to appoint a soldier delegate," a "woman delegate or a "labor oeiegate. The Chicago Journal (Dem.y raises the question of whether or . not these four men will "fare any better" at the hands of Lloyd George -and other Eu ropean diplomats than -did President Wilson, who is " charged with having been "outwitted", by- old world skill.

All day, when ever "America"' spoke, there had .been a great tumult where her shots bad been directed.

Through their picture acting they win thousands of admirers the world over and become the heroes and heroines ot many a maid and man. The lifting of the curtain which shuts out the view of their pri vate lives is attended with a shock and a sickening reaction upon those who have worshiped at the shrine of their art. Recovery from shattered ideals or misplaced homage Is always a slew matter 'and never entirely accomplished. Scandal, which is often only a tempo rary inconvenience and embarrassment to people in public popularity, may easily be a tragedy In theJlvee of some of their adolescent admirers. There has been much said and written lately about the elevation of the stand ards of the motion picture, and the Fatty Arbuckle episode suggests again that the elewation of the picture plays should be predicated upon an elevation of the morals of those -who make them. Two motion pictare playhouses of San Francisco have pointed the way to a form of penalty which would doubtless prove salutary. They have cancelled their contracts tor Arbuckle releases and wlQ not feature that star. If the play loving public would follow this lead by withdrawing ' their patronage from those pictures starring an actor or act ress who besmirch themselves with licentious living, then, we think, would these people regulate themselves a lit tle more' by the laws ot respectable so ciety.
