That Count
On April 23, Clarence Darrow, the devil’s ad-
vooate, and Wayne B. Wheeler, guiding genius of
the Anti-8aloon league, propose to have it out in a
public debate on prohibition. About all that can
poeaibly result from this forsenic tilt, as we view it,
is the addition of some thirty or forty thousand
words to the 4,437,378,999 words already uttered,
pro and oon- on the same subject
Some of the more optimistic exponents of the
cup that need to cheer have gone so far aa to pre­
dict that Mr. Darrow, being one of the biggest argu­
mentative gone now inhabiting the republic, will
make Mr. Wheeler look like a poor fish, which, we
* suppose, means a fish out of water—■
or, in other
words, a dry fish. And, of course, if Mr. Wheeler
is any kind of a fish—whioh by no means has been
- proven, he is undoubtedly a dry one.
But a man must have more than argument to
make any material headway on a subject such as
that under discussion. Any good Jeffersonian Demo­
crat will tell you that arguments don’t-elect presi­
dents, for instance. If they did, the Democrat will
say- the Republican presidential dynasty would have
i ended with Abraham Lincoln. Argument is a power­
ful weapon, potentially, but votes are the things that
count.
So it doesn’t make any difference whether Mr.
Wheeler has the argument or whether he hasn’t—
he has the votes, and votes, friends and fellow citi­
zens, not only made this country theoretically dry,
but are keeping it so.

It is an interesting picture of the billionaire
genius of motorffom which ifl disclosed by publicity
given the accident in which Henry Ford suffered
grave injury- escaping death only by that inexplic­
able fortuity which protects some motoriste and
doesn’t others. It Is the picture of a p a n whose
movements are mote or less shrouded in mystery,
who co u r ts seclusion and yet who has been able to
and has run around Detroit ana its environs in one«
of the little can of his own manufacture unattended
and unnoticed—a genius in concealment who dodges
an annoying public curiosity by the very simplicity
employed in his coming and going.
The obvious appositeness of the casualty strikes
one at once. When the greatest motor car manu­
factured: on earth suffers an accident such, as occurs
daily on the public highway somewhere, the hand of
fate seems to be in it. Although Detroit seemed
determined to make an attempted assassination mys­
tery out of it, the natural presumption that it was
an accident seems to prevail.^ . ' -

STÄRE MADE
Character Training
The question is discussed as to whose business
it is to build people’s character. Educators would
probably say it was primarily the business of sohools Z
and colleges to impart information, and to teach
thorough methods of work, while producing charact­
er is th. ebusiness of homes and churches.
Meanwhile many of the homes pass tl^e buck to
the churches and Sunday schools for character
building, and these institutions have no legal con­
trol over children. If the American jieople want
their children to come np straight, they have got
to do most of the work of training them themselves.
Leisure and Wealth
The president of Colgate university thinks the
revolt of youth from the old 'standards is due to
leisure and wealth. <¥et there were always a l°t
of them who were loafing around aimlessly. Their
student activities keep them out of much mischief
now.

Increased prosperity is a force that does not pro­
mote the most steady going habits. With the family
automobile standing in the garage, youth is offered a
constant incentive to sporting life. But probably
the reason why youth breaks loose, is not so much
larger opportunities, as that the older folks have
already given up trying to regulate them.
A b soon as woman got her rights she began
exercising them by wearing her dresses half way

I have been wondering about
the bears. About this tim e of year
I am forever looking upon the
side o f Garfield for tbe tracks of
my friends. I know It Is early* in
tbe season for them to come to
the haunts of man, but there is
the changing In their habits due
to the contact w ith mankind.
The days sts growing longer, the
wind tempered, and when the
smile of Liao is abroad in* the
land, i t ereatest a restless feeling
w ithin man and beast alike.
I know that over there In 8un
Creels Canyon there is now life,
life that lo r the firs t tim e is look­
ing on a world of white. There it
a gathering ef moss, a cutting of
green branches, a padding and
mauling of snow on the sunny lee
side of the drifts. There are tiny
weak whines, little weak coughs
expressing likes and , dislikes,
mingled w ith the grunts of com­
mands to be still.
You and I have something to
worry ourselves about. W h at are

one binge and It was Just as wide
open as It could get. Any one coaid
ran through and reach the meadow.
Then at the fa r end of tfaa garden
there waa a house.
“
The minute Amaryllis saw it she
loved the house. I t was not a big
house at all. I t waa a low, flat
house w ith • veranda running
around It that needed loads of spin­
dles In Its railing. The steps need­
ed straightening and everything
needed paint. The bushes were
wild MS4 the garden, and the brass
grew long and waved In the wind
like hair. I t was a quiet house, and
a home-llke house. You could see
aU of It without walking until you
were tired.
Inside It was a wonderful house.
Thera waa one big room that
smelled of pipes and tobacco, and
there was a wide fireplace with
heaps of wood beside U. end there
waa a big piano. The boy laid the
violin on top of th a t There were
easy chairs end shelves full of
books all around the w alls. On one
side of this room there was a door
leading to another room that waa
nearly a ll glass.. In It there was a
world of the moat wonderful books,
and pictures and more pictures.
Some of them stood up on easels,
and som e of them hung on the
walls, and many of them stood on
the floors. Lots of them that stood
on the floor turned their faces to
the walls. I t was a wonderful room.
One conld never become tired of It.
Thera were doors that opened out
of It Into the garden, and onto the
back porch; and If one went flown
m the kitchen John Onldo looked
up a t the cfcck and aald: “When It
