The difference between a toreador and a politician is that the former doesn't shoot the bull. Several magazino artists again hit upon the cuto and original idea of representing the New Year as a naked baby. Naval conferences fail because it is hard to arrange matters ?o each na tion will bo sure of winning the next war. A lecturer advises: "To acquire a voice of authority, saturate yourseli with your subject." Especially if the subject is "Strong Drink.". A novelist makes a he*??ay: "Wlften I gaze upon your facp, time stands still." And the heroine may have wondered whether ho meant her face would stop a clock. ANOTHER BIRTHDAY PARTY From the temporary White House at Warm Siprings, Ga., it has been announced that President Roosevelt has sanctioned the use of his birth day next January 30 for a second series of cofrmmmity balls throughout the country to raise funds to combat infantile paralysis. This enterprise must find wide approval and' deep sympathy in every section of the United States. Last year a million dollars for cotm bating this dread disease and treat ing its victims wap raised through the series of Roosevelt birthday balls. A larger portion of this money went to the Warm Springs Foundation, which is carrying forward a splendid humanitarian enteirpriso on a wide scale. Still the work so far ac complished must be regarded as only a beginning. ( No locality throughout this land is yet free frocn the fear of infantile paralysis, as was brought home to Montana by the limited epidemic in this section during the last year. Thero aro distinct limits to the treat ment yet available to thoBe victims who do not Ihfeve the financial pmeanfi for trip* to Warm Springs, Ga., or some of the few other instiutions of a similar nature. It is to this wider field that it is proposed to npply funds raised by the next series of Roosevelt birthday balls. The Presi dent has stipulated that 70 per cent pf the funds so raised shWll be allo cated to the district^ from which they come few tihte purpose of oaring for infantile [paralysis victims and that the vejmaiAder shall be devoted to * research work to find a preventative for the disease. The valiant fight the President has rnkde to overcome the ravages of this affliction which he himtself (hfaa under gone is known to the entire nation, and it has brought inspiration to many others similarly, afflicted. It has aloo brought a national determi nation to carry the fight against in fantile pairalysis forward to ultimate ^tory. j ONLY A STRAY PUP What does a stray putp amount to flixyway? What, does it matter if such a helpless anipmal is abused and tortured to make sport for gang of thoughtless boy?? Who cares? \ One small boy cared ? and because he cared (too made a friend ? a friend who didn't forget. Socne yewrs ago a kindly man evacned Jacob Siler walked along the banks of the Mississippi river near St. Louis and came upon a group of boys who were amjusrfng themselves by throwing A stray pup Into the riv er time after time, in ft pit* of the protects of one rfrmll companion. Finally the pup's defends* engaged the others in fistic combat to save the wretched animal from drowning. He battled so courageously that he won ttfe day and eaved tht pup. Mr. Slier commended thd boy, whose nrnne was Otto Schmidt, and between Uie two a lifelong friendship 1 DO YOU WANT A GUARDIAN 7 "II any part of our people want to be wards, if they wpnt to have guard* ians pat over them, if they want to bt taken care of, if they want to be children, patronized by the govern ment, why, I am Borry, because it will sap the- manhood of Am&rica," wrote the late President Wilson in his book, Thte New Freedom. "But I don't believe they do. I believe they want. to stand on? the firm ^foundation of law and right and take care of themselves. I, for my part, don't want to belong to a nation, I believe that I do not belong to a nation, that needs to be taken care of by guard ians". In those words, the war Frtsident, who had a greater knowledge of world history than almost any man who has help tihte position of Chief Executive, accurately caught the true American spirit ? the sstpdrit that set this nation off from all others, dedicated to the idealqof freedcch and democracy which had"~T)een sub jugated with force and bloodshed in the old world. It wag ttfre spirit that led to the sailing of the Mayflower three hundred years ago ? to the Re volutionary War ? and finally, to the arduous development of the west by men who wanted no wards, an <3 wanted only the right to work and -save and make their own destinies. That spirit is our American heritage ? and nothing the founders and tihte pioneers could have sent down to ua through time could have equaled it in worth. It is likewise the spirit that we must keep constantly in mind, as a guide to the future, if we are to en dure as a democracy in which liberty is always to be maintained, and in which opportunity is to be offered to all. All paternalistic and socialistic endeavors, no matter how well and honestly (meant, are at variance witlrt this spirit ? and, long enough /pair sued, they must inevitably result in the destruction of those institutions which are peculiarly American.
