Itched to grasp their talis. 80 she
grasped this torn., tall and held him

Well the world is in a terrible mess at the present time, and
has been for a couple of decades.
And no doubt a group of realists would-say it was perfect
flap doodle to claim one could find any good tidings in the
world today, just because that happened to be the intention
Yet it's true isn't it f
One can look over the newspaper this bright morning at
least, and find many things that are definitely cheering.
T?OR example:
This news about China. Admitting that war news from
China sources hasn't been particularly reliable, and these re
ports of smnihing victories should be discounted there seems
to be no doubt, that the Japanese tradition of military invinci
biljty has been knocked into a dish of chow mein. ' -
Against anything like equal equipment and numbers, the
Jap is no superman. Moreover when caught unawares or out
numbered, he runs as fast as a biped of any other color.
' All of which is very cheering, and if sustained by future
events, may do great good to the world, INCLUDING JAPAN
FOR national pride and faith in it military and naval superi
nrifv hns hpfin a InrcA factor in .Tnpflnese foreign nnlicv
ever since the victorious war with Russia. It has produced a
truculent imperialism, a cynical disregard for national honor,
a passion for armed conquest.
To have that myth exploded on the field of battle, can only!
result in a radical modification of that policy, and make way
for a policy of conciliation, moral reconstruction and peace,
For say what you will when a nation or an individual
becomes a worshipper of force, only a superior force, a good
beating, can destroy that doctrine.
It begins to look as though China with its inexhaustible man
power would do just that. Or if not actually DEFEAT Japan
at least demonstrate to all the world, that Japan can not con
quer China, and without such a conquest her desired hegemony
in the Far East can't be maintained.
.... ...
""PHIS column has no particular dislike Of Japan or love for
1 China. Wo see good and bad in both nations. But in this
particular jnstanco we believe China is entirely right ond Japan
entirely wrong.
So it is cheering to read the war reports at this time, and
see increasing evidence that the right is winning over might,
on the other side of the world.
A Sane Liberalism Looms
THERE is unother cheering feature to be found in a more
'complete report of that new La Follctte party, which has
come to this desk. i ,
The wive report, received by this paper at least, gave a very
hn.y and incomplete picture of the set-up.
For in its detailed summary the Governor of Wisconsin
appears to have taken a leaf from the note book of our own
General Martin, in two extremely important particulars.
Ho does not hesitate to condemn "organized labor for a num
ber of tilings, strong-arm tactics of course, but also attempting
to boost wages to uneconomic levels, and paralyze commerce by
interunion conflict. And he refuses to truckle to farm organiza
tions when he believes them wrong. He regards thoir demand
for special subsidies us economically wrong, for example.

GIVE Tilt: HA BV A BREAK
Here Is a typical query which many
young fathers should take to heart
What do you think about having
an eight months old baby alt listen
ing to radio pro
gram eve n 1 n g a
after hla daddy
cornea home? It
amuses daddy, so
he thlnka It la
all right. School
children seem to
be very nervous
these daya, hands
always moving
and legs shuffl
ing and shaking.
Don't you think
babies should be
In beo early and
kept as quiet aa possible? (Mrs. 8. L.)
Anyway it la encouraging to know
that a young father likes to come
home to be with his baby In the
evening. Too many young fathers
nowadays prefer to get out as many
nights as possible, to enjoy their
booze, gambling and other Indul
gences too painful to mention, while
the unhappy young wife and mother
sticks right on the endless Job as
me dutiful slave of her master. What
la needed In this too free country Is
wnipping post ior husbands and
fathers who are mentally and morally
too cnnaish to comprehend a man's
responsibility. And a kind of medical
court or Judicial commission to order
steel spurs on the lashes for hus
bands who have Infected their wives
with gonorrhea the usual cause of
mutilating operations a year or so
after the birth of the only child: the
usual cause of one-child sterility.
Husbands who have married without
premarital medical examination
and a certificate of freedom from
communicable disease, deserve fitting
pumsnment ror this crime.
Yes. Mrs. S. L. Ie right, a baby
under a year of age should be abed
every day without fall by 6 p.m. and
should not be disturbed by unneces
ary noise wr excitement after that
time of night. It Is not necessary or
even advlsab'e to attempt to hush
hush ordinary household noises or;
activities a normal baby should not I
be disturbed by ordinary noises. But
even If daddy must forego the Joy I
of an hour with the baby at that
time, he surely will not mind it
when he knows It la harmful to the
baby to be up and awake at such a
late hour. Daddy should contrive to
get his hour with the baby In the
morning when the baby should
normally be awake and mildly Inter
ested in Daddy's antics.
After the age of one year a baby
may be allowed to be up until as
late as 6 p. m.. but never later than
that. Up to the age of three years,
6 p.m. la zero hour for every well
loved, we 11 -cared -for baby. '
Babies should sleep Id to 18 hours
out of the twenty-four In the first
six months; 14 to 15 hours at the
age of one year (II to 13 hours at
night, 3 or 8 hours In two naps In
the daytime.) At 2 years of age, 13
to 14 hours sleep may be enough.

And to maybe It la a good thing
that we are moving to a new office

on the skill of the surgeon. For In

OW for a man as liberal as Governor La Follette, and also
as shrewd and experienced politically to come out for a
SQUARE DEAL-of this description, strikes us as news of
exceptional importance, and the most cheering thing that has
happened in this country since the armistice.
For it can only mean one thing as we see it, that the tide
at last has turned. Not against Roosevelt and his essential
purposes as much as against his technique, his strategy and
tactics.
And this we regard as highly desirable.
Wo have nccr understood, and don't understand today,
whv President Roosevelt has refused to coll a halt on tuc
offensive against one class and consolidate 'his position in that
direction while he prepared to correct abuses that are all too
apparent, in OTHER classes.
NEEDLESS to say this column has been for the President
nn.l hw 'pr Hpnl still is. but wa have been disannoint-
d and at times dismayed at its one-sidedness. And we have
longed for him to take the sort of stand the La Follette boys
hnvc now taken, wlrich in the last analysis is nothing more
than T. R.'s "square deal" applied to present day conditions.
w
K have wished he would sny, what he of course BELIEVKS
spei'inl intprpst in any one class, that this isn't a country of
nsses nnd never can be, that he is for EVERT CLASS WHEN
IT'S RIGHT AND AGAINST EVERY CLASS WHEN IT'S
WRONG, and then cite specific examples of elnsses when they
nre wronp as Governor La Follette has done.
But the President never has done this, or if he has, we
haive missed it. The fact that the La Follette brothers HAVE,
convinces this column, that the Liberal cause in this country is
not KiP to be destroyed by becoming solely a CLASS cause,
but is noiiitf to be a party generous nnd tolerant to all classes,
but demanding a social conscience and responsibility, from
each and every one.
And this is certainly something to be very cheerful about
in spite of the general mess this old ball of dirt is in at the
present time.

What the unions are striving do
Is to convince purchasing power of
labor. Highest authorities from
Roosevelt (and Dr. Townsend) down,
say that It is essential to make the
system work. That it will not. Is be
side the point. The belief that It
will (the Rodbertus theory) was ex
ploded long ago. The point is: No
body is responsible for the curtail

In Tuesday evening's Medford Mall

Man About
Manhattan
By GEORGE Tt'CKKR
In the months that I have sub
consciously gazed Into those well
Ilghtcd Roosevelt rooms I have seen
some amazing things . . . for Instance,
one morning a young fellow came
to the window and tossed a "shoe
brush on the head of a passerby.
That brought an indignant protest to
'the management of the hotel. But
the guest had barred his door . . .
And he went a little haywire. The
first thing he did was grab all the
bedclothes and shove them out the
window.
Then he tossed out a suitcase.
After that he edged a chair through
the window and let It clatter sevpn
stories down to the sidewalk.' fal
lows, glasses, books, shoes, tubes of
toothpaste followed . . . but by this
time detectives had battered down
the door and that was the last of
that.
One afternoon, wrestling with an
essay. I chanced to lift my eyes and
beheld Eddie Cantor, sitting In the
window. On another occasion I rec
ognized Billy Rose. I yelled at him.
and five minutes later a messenger
boy handed me this telegram: "You
should be ashamed writing In a win
dow in your shirt sleeves. Pull down
your shades."
r APPEARS, If we can believe what
we read In the papers, that
Jackie's estimated earnings of 4,
000,000 before be was 21 have shrunk,
under the stewardship of hla mother
and his stepfather, to around 1250,
000. Moral: If you're capable of earn
ing millions as a child wonder, be
VERY CAREFUL. In your choice of
parents.
