HE GREAT AMERICAN.
. (Dr. 1-jrank Crane.)
A United States Senator in a speech the other day said that after
thinking over this whole international business he had "decided to
remain an American."
What he meant was "a Little American."
lie had In mind to be an American as a Prussian Junker is a Ger
man, as a Turk is a Turk or a Chinaman is, a Chinese.
, (The great American takes in the whole earth. Nothing human is
alien to him.
His ideas are inclusive, not exclusive.
. lie also is a world-conqueror, not, as Caesar or Napoleon or "Yil
helrn to bring unity by force and dominance, but as a Man, to bring
unity by co-operation.
, lie, too, has his dream, but it is not of empire, it is of federation.
He believes he cannot save his own nation unless lie saves the
world, for "whoever would save his life (alone) shall lose it."
He goes smiling to the contentious diplomats of the Old World and
tmidst their confusion and despair shows them the way.
They have no other way. They turn to him and to that device
he carries on his banner i
B PLURIBUS UNUM.
The German delegation to Paris will be fully authorized to sign
the treaty of peace. That shows almost human intelligence. They
may as well say they like it. The. treaty that will be presented to
them will be the best they can get.
v-IIesides Senator I$or-ah, there is Col." George Harvey who is
still against the League of Nations. That's two count them two.
; Ve are making history rapidly. It
won't be long until it will be a pre
requisite to an admission to Ameri
can citizenship to be able to recite
the preamble to the covenant form
ing the league of nations.
; The proposed organization ofTEe
"returned soldiers that I expected to
cover the country will be a factor in
politics and it will not require them
as long as it did the Grand Army of
the Republic to measure their
strength. The G. A, R. did not be
gin to feel its political c.ats for more
than ten yeors after its organiza
tion. ..
The action of the National Wom
an's Suffrage association in indors
ing a' league of women voters looks
as if there was a movement on foot
to organize a woman's party. One
of the most convincing reasons for
the rapid growth of the suffrage
cause of late has been found in the
refusal of the women in states where
they have the ballot to enter fato
political alignments according to sex.
This new departure mean mi3chief

"The Double Cost"
Chapter I. ;;.
Is Dentistry Costly? Yes.
It is, at present, costly for the
. dentist as well as the patient.
The standard of fees is higher
than it need be. A reduction of 30
. to 50 per cent can be made without
lowering the quality of work or the
income of the practitioner.
The average dentist doesn't make
much money. Dehtistrv at nresent
fails to attract the best minds in the country. It
doesn't pay enough. Why? Is it because there
are too many dentists? No! '
: Every man and woman in the United States needs
the services of a dentist, not once but several times in
life.
"And let us not forget the children. It has been shown
that more than 97 per cent of our school children have
diseased or faulty mouths.
One-third of the men of military age in England
were found unfit for military service on account of bad
teeth.
Our condition in this respect is not much better,
although we have the best dentists in the world.
Dentistry is too costly. Why it is so and how its cost
' can be reduced I shall explain in articles to follow.
Twenty-five years of my professional life have
been spent in devising a system to reduce the
cost of dentistry without lowering its quality.
Under the E. R. Parker System

J)j( the least cost.

If it can sead home an army of men
with definite purposes, rathe- than
an army whose collective mind has
decided "to loaf four or five; months
and see what turns up." the school

With 250,000 women voting, the
Socialist ticket in Chicago was less
than one-quarter of that cast two
years ago.
Although some of the most intelli
gent champions of Socialism are wo
men the gentle sex will not vote the
ticket in conspicuous numbers.
The Chicago Socialists were only
able to round up 25,000 supporters
at the election the other day. Joe

TIIK. NAME'S TH1 THIXCi
Members of the American array of
occupation are reported by a corres
pondent as having found a nickname
satisfactory to themselves. For the
time Leing they are Amarocs which
is a name made up from the first
syllables of American army of occu
pation and is after the manner of
the Anzacs, Waac3 and other trench
creations. Therefore when reference
is made to an Amaroc oae is not to
imagine a breakfast food or a lini
ment, butone of Uncle Sam's husky
soldiers who has spent some time In
the kaiser's former country.
MRS. HJKARST
Death has removed from earthly
avctivities one of the great women
of America in the passing of Mrs.
Phoebe A. Hearst, mother of Wil
liam R. Hearst. She was great in
her ideals, great in her benevolences,
?eat Jn. her achievements, great In
her sympathies, great in her charac
ter. She did great things to make'
the world a better place to live in
aad left a great impress on her time.
All this is not too much to say and
it. will be heartily indorsed by the
thousands acquainted with her life
and influence. She was one of Cod's
noblewomen and her long stay in
this world made it better and hap

(The Times has been one of the

TIXSKL OF KOYALTY
Some of the kaiser s uniforms and
personal effects, which he left be

at auction the other day at timing

A friend at our elbow thinks it Is
a pity that the kaiser can't arrange
to pull off an auction In Xew York.
The Americans may detest him, but
they would pay a fancy price for his
old crowns and thinss as relics A
costume ball made up entirely from
kaiser stuff would also be a hit in
