SETTLING WITH COLUMBIA.
One of our two living ex-pres
'■idenls, who has eoine into the op
en with criticism of I he Wilson
administration, may not alto
geth approve Hit present confer
ences between Secretary of Stale
J try a li and Holiimliian Minister
Hetaneourt looking toward a sel
tlemenl of the dispute llial lias
never lieen permitted to die out
in l.al in-America since the ac
(tuirement of the canal zone. The
great hulk of American people,
however, want a settlement. They
realize that l.al in-America is
suspicious 11'' this country’s at
tempts lo liefriend them. They
learned from the. Mexican situa
tion that the most altruistic ef
forts are mistaken as plans lor
aggrandizement. These suspi
cions, false as they are, can not
he banished without allaying (lie
heat with which Holunibia still
regards the entire canal transac
tion.
The Wilson aiiminisl rat ion has
enunciated a doctrine. perhaps
the most important, as far as
l.al in- America is concerned,
since that given I lie world by
President Monroe—that govern
ments established by arbitrary
force will not be recognized: that
the t inted Stales will insist that
governments lie founded on .jii’.st
principles and constitutional au
thority. The I.atin-American
people's may well ask, "How about
Panama?" There, a revolution
which this country has been ac
cused of fomenting set up a new
governmeiil. In the words of the
man who was then president: 1
"i look il.”

A reformer is called a ‘■com
mon scold,' by a Manhattan
magistrate, because lie wrote a
letter advising another man lo
avoid frei|uenliug .saloons. lie

not common, it is most uncom
mon. and, we submit. Ihe learned
jude was in error.

A lit lie Newark woman is in
jail for heating her ‘JOO-pound
husband, who never resists. A
poet says, “Full many a ‘sutf.’ is
born to rage unseen, and waste
her fierceness on domestic air.”
Each of the these ought, by
rights, to enlist with Mrs. Pank

Accidents will happen even in
the “safe” French duels. A
sword expert was badly pinked in
his 173rd encounter, and is in a
Paris hospital. Honor issues

Of course not. How will the can

Wabash, congratulating itself
that none of its students has yet
been killed in a class rush, has
concluded that it is better to
abandon that part of the curri

The "literary ghost” is by no

there doesn’t seem to be any rea

It lakes a tiresomely long time

Through all the summer months

Small Stores Made Profitable
The amount of business done does not always depend on the
size of the store. Many small stores properly conducted
are doing more business than some of their huger neighbors
handling the same line of goods.
The amount of business done by a store of a given
size depends directly upon the effectiveness of the methods
employed to draw trade.
One of the most effective methods is the use of good
light—plenty of light—electric light.
