They are states of mind. The trouble with the world today is that it is in m war state of mind. It most get into a peace state of giind. The war is over. Let's hare peace. - We of today are becoming brutal and stupid -be cause we hare too much war on the brain. We are becoming crazy and hard. No poetry is being penned, no musio composed, no' great books written. For seven years universities have done little afid the'intel lectual level of mankind is falling. To me that is Bad. Let us forget about war and write poetry and sing sweet music. The troAle with the world today is that it has forgotten how to smile. When two men stand aiwaje face to face, each believing the other intends to murder him,, they wilt end *t by fighting. If they go. on about , their business when they" meet and one'smilds to the othevthe other will smile. We need smiles in. the jtrorlt today. v , Germany has lost the way for wljich- she was responsible, and she must pay. She must pay what she can, but we must not demand more than she can pay. Germany must be'put back on her feet. The force# .i of production must be released agtfm. Germany must be disarmed, and she will be. And then the allies'and all the world should disarm. Italy is setting the example. We have re duced the number of corps and «ut our service term to eight months. The war is over. Let us get back to peace. Militarism the Cause of Anarchical State of Affairs in Mexico. By VICENTE BLASCO IBANBEZ, in New York Times. „ 4 _ '.J' ■ * '• . / ' " I want to contribute all I. can toward the destruction of'that mili tarism, which is the principal cause of the backwardness and the an archical state of affairs in which Mexico is living. So long as that Goun try does not suppress its generals, who are everlastingly bent on tyran nizing over it, so long as it is not ruled by pacific citizens able to think in modern tentis, Mexico will remain a sad exception, an object of loathing and disgust among all civilized peoples. The well-to-do classes of Mexico have fled the country and are Wan derers on the face of the earth. The middle and professional classes have continued living at home, but under deplorable conditions, and either not daring to speak at all, or saying what they really think in as low a voice as possible. What else can they do if militarism is in the saddle? Where Can they find protection, if the strongest portion of the people, kept in ignorance formerly by the priests and now by generals calling them selves liberators follow the military men blindly on receipt of a rifle and on a promise of two dollars a day, and a free hand ? Just as I have spoken-here in the United States I shall go on spcakr ing in Europe and everywhere else. And who knows? German militarism was a far stronger and a far less ridiculous thing. But no slight influ ence on its ultimate destruction came from the uprising of public opinion against it throughout the world. * Natfon of Home-Owners Bids Defiance to Red Terror Attacking World. In feudal times the laborers made no effort to own their own homes. Their dwellings were provided for them by tfye feudal lords. Out of this grew .the great tenantry class, wlfich ie the origin of the renting habit of today. In outgrowing feudalism tlie world should outgrow this tenantry condition. We should emerge into an individualist which demands the individual home and the complete ownership of it. The laws of individuality and of community life express themselves in the well-being of family life. No community which is made up of renters can express much force in politics nor in civic matters. Owner ship makes the voter interested in community affairs and pride of posses sion instils a pride in the community which nothing else can give. A certain independence and moral backbone accompanies home ownership and the theories of American citizenship become more the facts and less the dreams of such people. As regards children, they see no interest displayed in the rented abode. They see no tree planting and painting and personal pride of possession that they may emulate in their ambitions. Rather, they natu rally grow without the true incentives that make of them good neighbors and good. citizens. ( ? A nation of home owners will survive the insidious red doctrine of decadence that y grasping at the throat of all nations today. Gasoline Has Now Supplanted Liquor In the Downfall of Young Girls. By JUDGE M. E. NORTON, Lake County, Ind., Circuit Court Gasoline has now supplanted liquor as the most potent factor in the ruin of young girls. Automobile joy-riding is a lure to their downfall. I have handled 400 cases of boys and girls in the juvenile court this year. Ninety per cent of the girls that are brought into my court owe their moral downfall to automobiles. Of course you can't blame the ma chine, but nevertheless it is true that its misuse has brought sorrow to many homes in recent years. Parents allow their children to go out in machines, not kfi&win# where they go or what they are doing. The speed affords chances to visit vicious places and offers a hosts of temptations. These promiscuous joy riding parties form one of the most serious problems our juvenile officers have to cope with today. It is on*an automobile ride that they are whisked, away to a road house. a public dance hall, or the shady resorts in this Vicinity. Then comes the realization of their ruin and sorrow. By MRS. L. *.

Con gress has passed an act changing this natural wonder of the world from a national monument to a national park, and has appropriated jnoney for Its development The national park serv ice has succeeded the forest service In control of It o#urt obctslons have pronounced worthless the take mining claims with which Its rim Is Mas tered And the /fber. day. the Grand Canyon was dedicated as a playground for the people of the United States for ever. And an interesting part of the exercises was the dedication of the memorial to Powell (thumbnail sketch with head). The average well-Informed American thinks of Jamestown and Plymouth when America's beginnings are men tioned. That Is to say, he goes back to. 1007-20. But by this time the Amer ican Southwest was near a century old. Allen Chamberlln, writing of the Grand Canyon dedicatory exercises in the Boston Transcript calls attention to this. For It was one of Coro nado's -lieutenants, Don Gargla Lopez de Cardenas, who was the first white man to behold that tremendous spec tacle, about the year 1540. From that time until shortly before the ClvU war the canyon seems to have Attracted no particular attention, and small wonder, considering Its re moteness and the forbidding aridity of the region on every hand. The re port of Lleutenlnt Ives 1*A857 to the war department on the navigability of the Colorado river seems to feave been the first official recognition of the can yon by the government, but It re mained for the Powell expedition of 1800 to put it on the map, so to speak. Thp tale of that adventure, undertak en In a purely scientific spirit, was more thrilling than a novel, and at tracted considerable public notice. Nearly 20 years later President Har rison, then a senator from Indiana, conceived the idea that the canyon was a worthy subject for a national park, and Introduced a bill In congress. That was In 1886. Yellowstone park had been created In 1872, the Hot Springs reservation of Arkansas was set up as a national park In 1880, Yosemlte valley had been turned over to California as early as 1864 as a vtate park, and Senator Harrison evi dently saw that the Grand Canyon was at least equally worthy of pro tection from exploitation- In the public Ipterest. At that time Arizona was a wild Indian country, and the canyon was miles from anywhere that could be reached by rail. Where Roosevelt Stepped In, .Finally, after more than 30 years, that Grand Canyon National park was created last year. It did not come easily Into being, however, for the ob stacles of selffsh ambitions which be set the course of the final legislation required a decade of patient and per sistent effort to overcome. President* Koosevelt, in his characteristically timely fashion, interposed a powerful check upon the hankerings of the would-be exploiter* when be took mat ter* Into his own hands In 1906 and proclaimed the canyon a national mon ument and a game preserve. By that time the Santa Pe railroad had built a line to the southern rim, and every vis itor thenceforward became a publicity agent for the park Idea. When the writer first aaw the canyon In 1902, shortly after the railroad was built, fewer than 1,000 persons made the trip during the course of a season. Nowa days more than 100 times that number are counted on, for this Is one of the few all-the-year-aronnd parka, and In stead of the rude log houses and the adjacent one-story barracks of 90 years ago, there Is now a modern ho tel, and attractive boarding camps as well, where accommodations can be bad to meet varying tastes and re quirements. The interest that was taken In the park dedication ceremony was Indicat ed by the fact that a special train was raa from the east to accommodate tljoar who had exorossed a desire to OXANO -vmw , N * attend. Among these was a man, F. 8. Dellenbaugh of New York, who was a member of that daring crew under Powell, who bore the enslgh carried by that expedition, and taken through safely In spite of the loss of two of their four boats, all their Instruments and much of their general duffel In their exciting battle with the raging river. It was a wonderful experience to stand on the rim of the canyon and listen to this man's story of that, three months' Journey from the upper waters In Wyomlpg to and through the can yon. Powell was a school teacher who had been a major In the ClvU war. In which he lost his right forearm. Much had been heard In a desultory way of the wonderful Colorado river, but, ex cept for the report by Lieutenant Ives, little was actually known about It Powell determined to tad out what he could of scientific and economic In terest In that hidden region, and, backed by certain Illinois state Insti tutions and the Chicago Academy oi Science, he embarked, late In May, with ten men, la fuur open boats. Long before they made the Grand Canyon their mishaps Jxad reduced the flotilla to three boats. Most of their Instruments had beeL. lost and of the ten months' supplies with which they set forth there wfcs left an abundance of coffee, but hardly enough flour for ten days, and musty at that plus a few dried apples. That was on August 17. Nothing daunted, they launched resolutely Into the forbidding depths of the defile, and somehow, two weeks later, they came through alive, all ex cept three men who, but a day or two before the canyon was finally paased through, became disheartened and abandoned the party, only to fall prey to the Indiana. This experience but whetted Powell's appetite for more, and two years later he repeated the experience with greater success and less privation. Subsequently, not im probably In recognition of these achievements, he became director of tlie United States geological survey. Plpns for Greater Usefulness. The human history of the Grand Canyon did not begin with that early sixteenth century visit of the Spanish adventurer. There are records all about on the canyon's walls of a peo ple who dwelt there day In and day out for many generations long before the Spaniard came. With the creathjp' of the national park the Grand Canyon will be devel oped so that It will become a genuine vacation ground. Until now It ha* been regarded by the public generally aa a one-day atop in the of a transcontinental Journey. Unless the visitor engaged a pack train for him self there was little that could be done beyond gazing from the rim near the hotel, or Joining a. mule procession down the Bright Angel trail, a trip too rough and nerve-trflng for many per sons. Flans are forming In the park service for a system of good motoring roads alcrtTg the rim, and for the de velopment of new ttalls, not only Into the canyon, but through It, with camp ing opportunities here and there along the way, thus providing excursion pos sibilities that will exhjblt the incom parable scenery from various aspegts. Moreover there is thp north rim, 1,000 feet higher than that on the south, and eight miles or more away, where there are Interesting things to see and do. Prom that point a road Is projected to connect with the new Zlon National park In aouthwestern Utah, and boarding facilities are to be es tablished on the northern side. Bat before travel from rim to rim can'be come popular that 1,000-foot gulf of the flrsnlte gorge must be bridged so that saddle animals may cross In aafe ty. That Is one of the problems of the near future. In t sense the country breathes easier now that the Grand Canyon haa become a national park. _ It Is safer now than ever before from the yearn ings of those who would .capitalize the stiow on the basis of "four bits" a look, or set up a movie tent In competition with all outdoors. In the . hands of the park service It wilt be developed sanely and harmoniously, and In the Interest only of those who will uso it nronerlr. • -■* ■» ass is 1 - little Daughter'* Remark Gave Papa Juat the Opportunity He Had Bean Looking Par.
