There must be some fundamental fcause for rthe present world economic situation, and every thinking person should be out to find it. Remedy, Hike medicine, is not always palatable Labor is at the bottom of all value -labor of brain and brawn, and he is very inaccurate observer who fan cies that the world is at work. From hhe first, after the Garden of Eden, nan has lived by the sweat of his frrow, and. has lived well just in the proportion that the sweat was un Winted. Labor was the penalty im posed for man's fall, and with the ijnan so with the nation has prosperity joome when the penalty was made the (panacea. This has ever been the basis . iof material development, and as na tions have ever risen by thrift so jbave they fallen by idleness. .'. The world is not at work. Labor, Talike the brain and muscle is largely "'-either idle jot slacking. Love for work for work's sake is a lost virtue, and until it is recovered stabilized prosperity must continue to be a thing Tonged tor. The principle of work ,ljas given place to that of expediency, sand the average ambition reaches no "higher than to do as little as neces rBary to hold the job and pass the 1 buck. Desire to be ;better than the job, ' pride in results accomplished, inter est above that of self, recognition of the dignity of work the. jack of these Is at the bottom of the present world situation. Can't Get Away. From It. It is not often that, we enjoy the distinction of being in agreement with the New York Tribune, but the comment which 7 that journal offers under the head, "The . Borah Obses sion," coincides so closely, in part. at least, with our views -that we feel impelled to quote. We expressed the belief several days ago that, willy-nilly, hot or cold, the United States was moving League ward and would yet, by the dark of some night's moon, jcome quietly to LETTERS TO THE EDITOR - "SOME BENEFITS' Editor of The Star: Wilmington is to be cogratulated on the success of the gentlemen who' have endeavored to have the new.U. S. C G. C. Modoc sent here if she is to e sent here. Some of the -benefits" are: she' burns oil and instead of a local concern furnishing", the fuel, the -fuel will be obtained in Charleston or Nor folk. The Modoc should require no re pairs for several ' years and when she does it will be necessary for her to go to a-large navy yard. The Wilmington men on - Seminole will go elsewhere - with the Seminole and their -families can follow at their own expense. The Modoc will be able to arrive at any point on her station anchor in the Lake of Geneva. Tak-lalmost s quickly from Charleston as A Senate committee has reported tfcat Newberry is entitled to his seat Sjn that august body. Well, if there are men In the Senate capable of mak ing such a report, we don't see why Newberry should be kept out. , The United Mine Workers of America have instructed the Kansas .leader, Alexander Howat, to call his men back to work. Good for Presi dent Lewis and the sane element of his organization. Howat vows ''he "will be kicked, out bfctore he will submit, and that .he wil. go to jail before he will give a bond recently required of him by a Kansas court. We hope he holds out. We can think of no more encouraging spectacle than tha of Howat being kicked out of the miners' union and into a jail cell. South Carolina reports the discov ery of a family that is totally un--able to perspire. That is regrettable, -;iut it is encouraging to know that one family is still trying. j We have heard lately of at least two .persons who desired to prove that the -$arth is flat. "Though we have not ".previously subscribed to that theory, .-we are beginning to Relieve that with ' respect to a large part of the earth these people are right. . Mr. Ledoux has asked the President to issue a public appeal calling on tlhose who profited by the war. to give -lifty per cent of their wealth to a ielief fund for the unemployed. iteadv there, now!- No rrnwrtinir' f' fiOt the Arbuckle case, Judge Laz arus says he had really hoped that his ourt "would be vthe avenue for a complete revelation of all the facts."

The jolt which the flaming St. 'Louis Cardinals yes iv terday shot into the Pittsburghers settled masters in the National League, leaving the Giants nothing s ,more to do until the curtain goes up on the championship series.-,. Tris Speaker's redskins came very- near , x getting a sockdolager from the Chi-, ."cago Sox, and today or tomorrow we shall no doubt hear ; that the Cleve- land big chief hag departed with' his tribe "for the happy .hunting grounds. ,i And In the meantime the Nstate of , "Babe" Ruth's health will be the, most ' Tital 'question before the American "people. . ',' Senator Simmons has a letter from ? a man . who says, "I am a Republican ?find only want , a. square deal." Such " modesty Is nothing short of -treason to - .iwe pariy.. ing Senator Borah sharply to task which we did not for his-apprehensions over the drift of affairs, The Tribune desires to know-what else we are to do but go right ahead and place our application for .a ticket to the Reparations Commission. Far be it from The Tribune to. say. that we are about to slip into the League itself, either by way of the back door or through a cellar staircase, but it is significant that this Republican fire side journal feels no sense of horror over the prospect of our getting tied. up with the Allied collection ma chinery. We are reproducing two paragraphs of The Tribune editorial as evidence of tumble that iff" now being taken with elephantine clumsiness, it is true by some of those molders of thought who have at last seen the writing, on the wall: "The collection of the indemnifica tion which Germany is ready to make us is tied up, through" prior engage ments on "her part, with the indemni fication which she is to make to the other belligerents. This is an irre mediable fact. The only practical way left open for us to protect our interests is to associate with the Al lied powers which are executing the terms offered jointly - to them and to us. 1 "This may be a misfortune from Mr. Borah's point of view, since he Beems to oppose association with the European powers for any purpose, even for the prosaic one of collecting debts. But what is the alternative? Would we get anywhere by ignoring the Reparations Commission and set ting up a separate and rival collecting agency? The sections of the Ver sailles Treaty regulating reparations were eminently satisfactory to our people. Why not, then, adopt the easiest and most practicable method of enforcing them so- far as we are concerned?" INVITED AGAIN A contemporary suggested some days ago that Mr. Lloyd George should be able to get around the Irish "sovereignty condition" by assuring Mr. De VaJpra and his associates that mental reservations would not be barred. This is facetious, of course. but not wholly inapplicable. In view of repeated assertions by Irish leaders like Griffith that there was no .thought of requiring the British .government to recognize Ireland's independence. insistence upon the right to enter a conference with that condition under stood is hardly distinguishable from demanding the privilege of indulging in mental reservations. Now, that the Sinn Feia leaders have been extended another formal in vitation to join British statesmen in a conference, it is to be hoped that this issue will no longer be ob truded. It is perfectly obvious that the negotiations are in serious danger of being wrecked by insistence upon a point which admittedly is meaning less. ' - If the utterances of recognized lead ers on the respective sides of -this dis cussion are' to be taken at their face value, there is no real obstacle in the way of a peaceful and permanent settlements Once assembled in con ference and guided by the principles in which they have clearly expressed agreement, the representatives of Ire land and of the Empire should be able to draft a satisfactory document- of peace within forty-eight hours. It is hardly conceivable that they are to be permitted to drift hopelessly apart -because of a predilection for hair-split ting. Every day that passes without some guarantees of a conference in creases the .- danger v of the situation. Suspicion and unrest are growing, as multiplied signs Have recently shown. Peace hangs by a slender thread. And all the time the "door to a mutually satisfactory conclusion; .of the matter stands widely open. o A'.?,. . The Traffic1 Bureau It is well: known among business men everywhere that : an effective traffic- bureau 4 always ' represents a profitable Investment for. a commu nity. It "is not stating . the matter too strongly to say that the complexi ties of modern ; transportation have made a traffic bureau essential to a community's economic ' safety. ' . The effort that is being made to give Wil mington a protective agency of this sort should . 'have ythe ;warm support of every citizeni, 1 it is customary and altogether logical that Uhe traffic bu reau shouldbe!"Wfaiiated with the Chamber oromjnerce, and we heart ily endorse rthe 4 proposal to enlarge the usefulness of. the Chamber by his addition.

It should be noted that Commodore Reynolds promises to send the Modoc to the North Carolina coast, no doub her station will be the North Carolina coast. There is grave doubt that her headquarters will be Wilmington. SERVICE WIFE. Wilmington, Sept". 29. CONTEMPORARY VIEWS THE CTOUNTRY DOCTOR. , Louisville Courier-Journal: The fact is that the doctor is deserting the country because the country. ,is desert ing the doctor. That is why there is a shortage of general ' practitioners in rucal districts. Placing the blame is not as easy as mentioning the fact. Suggesting a practical remedy is diffi cult. Should the Kentucky State Medical Association find a means of restoring confidence in the family doctor, stem ming the tide of well-to-do patients from rural sections to . the- offices of city specialists and restoring "busi ness" for the general practitioner, sub tantial socfal service would be ren dered. Possibly the increasing popularity of specialists in cities has been the largest factor in the diminishment of the general practitioner in the coun try as the prop of the community. Ruralists go to the specialists if they can afford it. Specialists do not practice in the country, so the- country patient who can goes to the city for medical service. He can not be blamed the fashion being established, the exanvple set for taking such measures in amatter which may be one of life and death. Nevertheless there is little encouragement for an ambitious young "M. D." to establish himself in the country and develop a rural practice. Ours is an age of specializing. The results are not always and altogether satisfactory. Veteran railroad -mechanics deplore the virtual disappear ance of the all-around mechanic who can begin with the rough castings and make a locomotive. Physicians assert that there is need of a greater number of well-qualified general practitioners equipped to" cope with conditions arising in any part of the anatomy of the patient. ' The public, without undervaluing the spe cialist, is Impresed by medical opinian in advocacy of the old-fashioned gen eral practitioner, but urging young men to become general practitioners, and to settle in the country, is as fu tile as shouting to young men to stick to the farm ahd content themselves with meager profits and the consolations- of a quiet, independent and ob scure life when youth looks toward greater achievement in cities.' The general practitioner must know, if he is to retain his patient, with clear eoncience and with hope of restoring his health, something about all there is of a human being, and that Includes knowledge of much beyond Ihe purely physical part of a man or. woman. The successful general practitioner must have confidence in himself and inspire -confidence. He ; must tle courage of. a poker ' placer, the "urge- of An .explorer, the readiness and dash of;a firemen to whom no emergncy suggest hesitancy.1- He mrst be socially accomplished. His moral character must be above reproach, in a community inclined to acquire" defi nite knowledge of the moral character of any man of consequence in the com munity. The ideal country practitioner- is not only a well-educated physician and one whose reading in the course of his career is extensive, but also very much of a man. tne recognition fit this - principle and thisf act , in the addresses of both Mr. Harding and' Mr. Hoqver. Both Em phasized the .problem 'as .one demand ing general co-operation and the ex ercise of nnhlfc intellie-ence as well as symBathv..-' The. immediate needJ for.r.the coming .winter roust ibo met, as Mr. Hoover declared but Che case Js not one for mere "doles", or charity. The practical remedy is w6rk. and' to provide legitimate and useful work this labor enneress has been called 1 together that it may "mobilize the in telligence of .the country" in the task. The President is to be commanded .fo his courage in saying ,that he "would have little enthusiasm for. any proposed relief wh,ch . seeks either pallation or tonic from .- the public treasury." "The excess ' of stlmula ti6n from the source," he added, ."is to be reckoned a cause of trouble rather than a source of cure. We should achieve but little In a remedial way if we continued to excite a con tributing caue." In a word, this conference looks all the" more hopeful because it promises to be directed by intelligence rather than emotion. Industrial plants, cor porations, business men. municipali ties and citizens of all classes should be united in a systematic program to provide useful employment. It is ev erybody's business, not merely the President's and Mr.. Hoover's business, and-nothing will result from this con ference, unless everybody helps whole heartedly. The conference can only plan the employment campaign. The campaign can only be succesful through . Universal co-operation. And the' selfish reason why there should be co-operation is that unemployment on a large scale injures the whole country, and not merely the unem ployed. No miracles are to be expected from the conference. The beftt thai it Aran eug.gest viii not provide full-time wcrk with war Wages for everybody. But Jt may be able to formulate plans which will provide fair , employment Ur those wil':ing to work until the full tide of bus'ness and industral activity returns, and trus help to meet rhe present ern'g'ncy. Even better Than that, it may be able to outl'no for con sideration sjme general schema that will lessen, if not eliminate, the dis astrous effects of these recurrent pe r.ods of industrial and commercial stagnancy. . PORT SCHEDULE ANNOUNCED FOR THE GYM GLASSES Winter Season Opens Monday . '"With Physical Director Pow ers in Charge. ' UXE3IPLOYMEXT CONFERENCE. Baltimore Sun: "The way to re svme is to resume" was said many years ago In regard to specie pay ments. The way to end unemploy ment is to employ might be presented now as a potent paraphrase of the old solution of a difficult financial prob lem. But the unemployment situa tion is not one to be solved by a mag nificent rhetorical gesture or by a sim ple formula. It is the result of many and complex causes, and it can not be cured by a phrase. Employ ment is, of course, the cure for un employment; but that does not take us very lar. - wnen a man is at the. Doiiom or a precipice "and he cannot get up by himself, the obvious thing is to lower him a rope ladder by which he can climb up.- But to do that, you must first procure the rope ladder. The encouraging feature ct the opening, session yesterday of the Na tional Conference on Unemployment is The gymnasium of the Young Men's Christian association has Just been gone over, as has the equipment, and everything put In tip-top shape for the beginning of the winter classes Monday of the coming week. Physical Director C. R. Powers has recently returned from the Adiron dack camp on Lake George where, dur Ing the summer he was camp director. naving many boys under his supervis ion, ana has been concerting his 'ef- fortsJin Drder to -est the schedules ar ranged In time for the opening of "the regular wiater . classes. Mr, Powers said yesterday that the gymnasium floor had been repainted and oiled, and the old equipment had been overhauled and put in the best of i,,v.lof new equipment has been secured. r. . rowers is naving scneauies or the various classes printed and as soon as they come from the press copies will be-'tnailed the membership. . rTheschedule includes regular "set ting up"1 eexreises urfsr the direction of Mr," Powers. . These are for the old and the .young, the different ages be- Ling grouped so as to throw each per son with others within his age group i There will also be games, including hand ball, volley ball, basket ball and others, while hot and cold showers and the pool are at the disposal of all mem bers. One thins which Mr . Powers expects to feature this year is calesthenics for the business men s class. He said yes terday that In the past the men have been too anxious to begin playing to devote any time to the "settinar up" exercises, but in the Tuture, he said, he will insist that a ten minute work out be taken before beginning the game. Mr. Powers said that volley ball is all- rishf; for a diversion or recreation for the' tired, fatigued brain of the business man, because it keeps his mind occupied and off any business cares or worries which he may have, but he declared, that the exercise Inqi- dent to the game is not just what the body needs and'what is provided in the worfivout which he proposes.
