AMERICANTJS CIVIS SUM It is the purpose of the American Legion to cut out military titles m their business and social meetings. The war being over, there is none in authority. They yere all comrades and now the colonel has the same status as the prirate. Consequently all are to be addressed as "Mister," which is the highest title conferred under American citizenship. It is the sign and token of democracy. Likewise it is a turn away from militarism, for militarism thrives on its (titles of rank and authority and the Legion has set its face against the dominance 61 a military caste. The Legion has fought that tlere may be no more need for fighting and their work is now a purification of the paths of peace. Their mission is to make the title of American citizen something to be revered of all men; even as the claim in the period of the firs century, "Romanus civis sum," ("I am a Roman citizen") made falsely meant death, and made truly meant protection of property, liberty and life at home and in any country, and earned with l the right to appeal to Caesar and was bulwarked with all the power of the legions at whose heads were carried the eagled standards of might. " ' i To be an American citizen should earry with it enough of dignity to command respect in this country and in any land under the shining sun, even In Mexico. , That is the sort of Americanism for which the American Legion stands now and Mill stand in the da3's to come. , SCOWLS Are often caused by straining to see perfectly.

Others, rec ognizing a quality among the Japa nese called by a" Tokio student of English "obeyfulness," think this is too sanguine. At all events, the spread of liberal ideas is so marked that the people are bound within the next few years to obtain much pow er now denied them. wrongs, his old vengeances, declining to take congnizance of contrition and the amende honorable. Cod help us if the creed became general "Our selves alone, our own old smells and dirts forever." It is not sufficient for the health f a city that we personally . are clean; our neighbors must ; practice cleanliness also, otherwise their pol lution is ours. It is not sufficient for world hygiene that America Is individually sciupulous; we must co operate to nee that our neighbor na tions are scrupulous also, otherwise their pollution is ours. Inside the league of nations we are a power for world purity. Outside it we are encouraging the retention of old dirts, odorous pollutions. THE ROYAL FLVSIf.

They have had to stop the public dances in Paris because of the scarc ity of coal, I it used to be thought that the dancers could get up enough steam of their own to make the coal man unnecessary. Only the fiddler had to be paid. DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. We are all capitalists. A house is capital; a suit of clothes is .capital; stored foods are capital; a fishing rod is capital anything whatever if its value 'lies in continued use as distinguished from immediate consumption. Of the total annual income of $38,000,000, '000 in the United States 75 per cent belongs to families having an annual income of $2500 or less. .Saskatchewan rejoices in a 'record of a school house a day built in tlve province1 since it was formed in 1005.

When Winifred Byrd appears before all Salem at the Armory tonight,; all Salem will be there to greet her or all of Salem that can get into the building.. This is as it should be a unanimous greet ing to the little lady who has put.Salem on the world map musically. .Almost unrecognized the great change has come. Man is becoming the home body and woman the goer. It is bareljr possible thaj the actu ality of a bone-dry land has some thing to do with this shifting situa tion, but the fact remains that the male member of the household is now the bird that keeps the home fires burning. I The man likes to get into his slip pers and have a quiet evening with his book or paper, and it is the lady who wants to climb into her glad rags for a night of Jazz or the movies Dancing men are more than ever in demand and neither face nor rep utation matters much so long as they can fox trot a lively measure.. i uui tne aacmg men are ever grow ing scarce. Since the women have acquired the vote and man's job the home mean less and less In their young lives. An other generation or so is japt to fine the men doing the cooking, sewing and other domestic tasks, while the woman is- both the bread-winner and the cake-walker. Fortunately, by that time most of u3 will have croaked and won't mind. CARBON! Rid System of Closed -up Waste and Poisons with "Cascarcis."

Matsumoto, labor delegate from Japan to the In- bank, arrived international ; Labor Conference at Washington; does not stand in the good graces of the powers that be in (Tokio. Whatever else may be said of M. Matsumoto by the Mikado's ad visers they cannot accuse him of not having the courage to speak plainly He has characetrized his government "as an autocracy; which Is the enemy of social justice." According to the Associated Press Mn- Matsumoto's remarks developed discord among the Japanses dele gates. That is hardly to be wondered at, seeing how strong is the affection the majority of the Japanese have for , the Mikado and the present system of government in Nippon. The fact. however, that a man of such promi nence in the labor party in Japan can utter such sentiments at an Inter national conference In the capital o; a friendly nation proves that there must be a considerable democratic party in the far eastern empire. In fact the progress toward democ- ! racy in Japan is one of the most notc j worthy movements of this century. . n . . . ! -a mr as me urieni is concerned. So In comment appended to his reg ular monthly report to the state board of control yesterday, L. M. Gilbert, superintendent of the state training school for boys, em bod -en a recommendation that the stat-j hm provided with a reformatory where boys nearly grown and youn men who have committed their first of fence may be kept in custody.

When it comes to a showdown the radicals are never in the majority. In Winnipeg they seemed to dominate the situation for a time and they had promised to revolutionize things and restore thejplaces of striking firemen and policemen who found themselves permanently ousted. But in the elec tions just held they were beaten two to one by the conservative citizens. The so-called labor party makes a good deal more noise than its num bers or merit warrant. No labor party of merchants' party or farm ers party will ever dominate, because the" safe and conservative element of each and all is opposed to class dom ination even if it is their own class YESTERAJYS DIRT. "Bobby," remarked mamma doubt fully, "thai is a very dirty little boy you were playing with." "Yes," replied Bobby, earnestly, "he was kind of dirty, mother, but it was today's dirt. He gets cleaned up every night." So mamma appreciated the subtle distinction and let it go at that. It is old, left-over, dirt that is so unwholesome and dangerous. And it is old dirt that the world is suffering from today. Internation ai politics are reeking with old dirt the same old dirts have appeared on their imperfectly ablutioned necks for years, the same old grime in their grasping finger nails, the same old hates and vengeances on their murky consciences. Most of the dirty Inter national disputes today are old dirt whether it is Shantung or Sinn Fein or Fiume or Bolshevik! or Mex ico, it Is the dirty grime of the past that is polluting the atmosphere of the present. And the league of nations is the great hope for political hygiene. Only, the united efforts of the pow ers In sincere co-operation could hope to clean up the pollution of the past, thereafter devoting itself to the dirts of each arriving day. World politics will continue to smell to high heav en unless they can be immersed In a daily bath and scrubbed with -plenty of diplomatic soap, beginuing with an attack on the lousy accretions of cherished old wrongs.
