_ Rocking the Boat
. Severely Denounced
r
The following. received from a
reader. is published here because of
its sound common sense and the
emphatic suggestions it contains:
“Boating is now in full swing and
many are finding rest and recrea-
tion on the water. Small boats and
canoes dot the shore-line and in-
dicate a revival of interest in boat—
‘ing that was interrupted by the dc-
..velopment. of the automobile.
“\Vlth this renewed interest in the
pport comes the old danger from
the stupid seeker after a thrill who
.‘rocks the boat“. not alone for the
fun it gives him but generally to
frighten some member of the party.
"\Vords cannot too strongly con-
~dcnm the ‘boat-roclmr.‘ he is not
‘jas smart as he is silly and if he
'could only see. himscli’ in the role
he would not continue to indulge
in the practice.
"'l’loeking the boat' should be
condemned on‘tlie spot and the best
cure for the disease is to throw ovcr-
board the simpleton who insists on
.; . performing the antics of a clown."
' Third Party Strength
‘ in the Solid South
What showing will La. Follcttc
{make in this Presidential Election?
5 Has he a real following or only
’paper backing?
’ Is there any real chance of him
laying the foundations of a new
arty?
These are questions which plain
, oople who give some serious con-
i' deration to politics are asking.
In this connection, a newspaper
inpatch from New York to the
ltimore Evening Sun, a Democra-
c organ, is worthy of note.
it. sets forth that La. Follette will

The dispatch in part follows:
{"Prominent Democrats from the

DiNNER STORIES
An Englishman was on a walk-
ing tour. and as he reached the out-
skirts of a town he espied an old
man standing on'the bridge staring
contemplatively at the river.
Going up to him he inquired
pleasantly; "Can you teLl me where
I. can get a good glass of whiskey
in this village?"
'l‘lie‘old man smiled gently and
shook his head.
"No. no. I can't do that. mister."
he replied. "but I can tell :1 where
you can get two." .
Many years ago, when oneness of

a negro named George. Master of
his craft. George was stately. and
an incident which illustrates the
mingled dignity and conceit of his
character .has a place in the family
records.

what seemed to be its utmost pos-.

He met it like an ebony Gibral-
"Veryl Well. madam-your or-

"But. George .can we be ready

NEW ATI‘EBIPT T0 RECON.
STRUCT EUROPE PREDICTED
"We may expect a new attempt
at the reconstruction or Europe.
first by the settlement of the repur-
ations question, then by renewal of
relations with. Russia."
Bo declared Louis Aubert. forniri'
political editor of the Revue de
Paris. in a recent address in the
U. S. ‘
"There are many obstacles in the
way of agreement. but the idea of
trying to include Russia in the re-
construction of Europe is gaining
favor. It is therefore an extension
of the problem of reconstruction
which. up to the present. in the ab-
sence of a Franco-German agree-
ment in the \l’cst. has begun to be
solved only in 'centra Europe."
M. Aubert was for several years
political editor of the Revue de
Paris. During the war he served at
the front. and he was a member of
the French High Commission to the
United States under M. Tardlcu. He
served as an eXpert at the Peace
Conference and subsequent Euro-
pean conferences. ‘
“I believe." M. Aubert. said. “that
we are reaching the end of a chap-
ter of European history which
opened five years ago. when the
community of interest between the
Allies and associated powers born
of the war began to weaken.
"During these five years Europe.
left to herself. has endeavored to
effect her own reconstruction with
her own resources. She has not. al-
together succeeded. but. on the
other hand. she has not. entirely
failed. Favorable partial solutions
have been found. and today the
spirit prevailing in Europe is more
European than five years ago.
Sees. Rmnstructlon Nearer.
"Little by little the idea has be-
come general that real peace \Vlll
be arrived at only through concilia-
tion 0! "interests and a co-operstion
of willing effort. Britain is more
willing to understand the financial
needs ot France'and France to un-
derstand the economic requirements
of Britain. Both are now begin-
ning to realize that without a re-
cles Europe Will never be complete-
‘y restored. and will even lose the
rank that history has given it.
“The present policy of the British
and French Cabinets is to reach an
agreement. with Germany. endeav-
oring to find support among the
sincere democrats of that country.
It must be said that the existenCe
of a substantial number of sincere
democrats in "Germany is a matter
of hope rather than certainty, for
the only politicians in Germany
who appear willing to co-operate in
the Dames plan Were obliged. after
the elections. to justify their action
tlvo to inspire at once complete
confidence. Necessity. however.
compels Germany to take a rea-
sonable attitude. and this in itself
constitutes some progress.
“We may therefore. expect a new
attempt at the reconstruction of
Europe. first by s. settlement of the
reparations question and then‘ by
the renewal of relations with Rus-
sia. There are still many obstacles
in the way or!!! agreement, but the
