The slightly cooler weather of yes- terday gave rise to hopes in he hearts of the school boys that hy Christmas vacation there would bo skating, Up to the present time there has been no safe skating and very little of any kind, only thin layer of ice has been frozen at Dickerman's and this has been constantly broken. At Lake Whitney there has been no icc except around the edges.

With Aldrich at washington, the

THROWING A SCARE

TT must be admitted that the naval
4 and coast defense program OF the
Il government does not suggest pip
ing times of peace. On the contrary
we might be justified in believing that
IN time of peace we were preparing
for war. But the disarmament OF the
nation, much as it might be desired
by the friends of the highest clviliza-
ton. might be described in the Ian
guase used by ingalls, in defining pur-
ity in politics. 1t is an iridescent
dream. If we were to abandon plans
of national defense we would invite
attack. The Prince of Peace himself
said it was the strong man, Wen
armed. who lived in security. 1t is
ia be hoped that this nation will never
reach that point where militarism Will
become a burden. At the same time
il is more important now than ever
before in the nations history to be
prepared for aught that may happen
Uncle Sam is no doubt a meek and
lamblike gentleman. If it were not for
his benevolence, or rather, If he re-
EomDled MS European hClSHOOlS, AO
W ould long ago have attempted the
annexation of southern and South
American countries. In spite of our
various troubles we are a peaceful and
peace loving nation. But Uncle Sam
is like a man in a den of wild beasts.
The world is most unruy place.
The lion and the lamb obstinately re-
fuse to lie down together excepting
under conditions of leonine assimila-
ton. Ours is the richest country on
earth. The poverty-stricken man who
cannot find work and cannot afford to
send his children to school may find
that statement hard to believe, but 1t
is true. This is not only the richest
of nations but by far the richest.
What spoil for possible spoiler!
Political spoilsmen are bad enough,
and it is highly desirable that we
should terrorize the other kind and
keep them at a distance. Our friends,
the envious and greedy old world
powers, will let us alone if we take
the advice of Chimmie Fadden, ESQ.,,
and throw a scare into them"

Jury SYSTEM

~ ISTRICT ATTORNEY J. d. FRED
BRICKS told the Bar association
- that the jury system In the GRIM
inal courts is almost altogether bad
He would not say he would at once
abandon the jury method, but he let
1t be understood that that would be
the best way out. Capt. Fredericks
made several radical suggestions,
among them one that in trying cases
all twaddle about reasonable doubt
should be cut out. OF the juryman in
general he said: I'm the theory the
iuryman is a demigod, in practice a
child, a knave, an empty slate that
anyone may write upon" Now, mercy
on us, Capt. Fredericks. when you next
stand up to address a jury of your
peers. who must settle the temporary
fate of your unfortunate fellow peer
on trial, how are you going to stand
that baleful glare and how ex-
plain away your address? But prob
ably you don't want to explain it away.
People who have watched great GRIM
inal trials in various parts of the
United Statesmen necessarily in Cali
fornia have become convinced that
Capt Fredericks knows what he Is
talking about. The average man does
not grow wings and receive miracu-
Ious replenishment of gray matter in
his think box before he becomes a
juryman, and it pains us to have to
realize that in some criminal trials
where a great deal of expert testimony
has been introduced every juryman
understood 1t equally well-that is to
say, not at all. Those who we're pres
ent at the trial will refuse to believe
that Carlyle Harris had a square deal
or fair execution in New York. No
human jury was capable of giving that
unfortunate boy an honest trial on the
testimony introduced. Crushed be-
meath the weight of weird and fright
some words, the jurymen were bull
dozed into rendering verdict in ac-
cordance with the belabored and
stunned conditions of their poor brains,
and not with the facts In the case,
which In the opinion of many did not
warrant the extreme punishment in
fiicted upon the poor. penniless medi-
cal student.

DISASTER AVERTED

EROM time to time the ublic is
reminded sharply of the urgent
"A necessity of making every school
building in the United States SAFE;
not partially safe, but SAFE beyond
reasonable doubt Here is some plain
English. Every member of a COM
munity which does not take every pre-
caution possible, no matter what may
be the cost in mere dollars and. cents,
to make the buildings in which chill
dren are assembled Under legal COM
pulsion for the purposes of a mandatory
course Of instruction, SAFE, indisput-
ably safe, is particeps criminis in case
of disaster and loss of life. We believe
the Careless community of Collinwood
was responsible for the calamity there.
You think this harsh way to talk. Is
ii any harsher than the horrible fate
which sometimes m,naces and some
times overta,;es boys and girls who
are receiving compulsory education;
who are legal prisoners during school
hours, not free to come and go, but
compelled by law to remain for GER
tain number of hours pent up in a
schoolhouses which may be a death
trap? Only hard work and heroism on
the part of private citizens who formed
a volunteer bucket brigade prevented
Colegrove school from being destroyed.
The presence of mind Of level-headed,
brave-hearted, ready-witted teachers
H. p. Webb, Miss Yaeger, Miss Collins
and Miss Stradley-was demonstrated
in action which took the imperiled
youngsters beyond reach of danger,
marching them in orderly, well drilled
fashion out of harms way, and reso-
lutely keeping them out of harms way,
in guarded, unbroken ranks, until all
danger was over We hope the county
school board will take official notice of
the coolness, calmness and trustworthi-
ness in time of peril of the teachers
named, and will also make the repaired
Colegrove building absolutely, uncondi-
tionally and unquestionably fire-r- Of
and SAFE. Fortunately the doors and
windows were of modern construction
and were thrown wide open without
difficulty. In sunny California every
schoolhouse should be built so that it

which can be thrown open wide. There
is no excuse for death-trap school
houses in any city or town in the Unit
ed States, but least of all is there ex-
cuse in California, where, for that mat
ter, nearly all the year round children
could be instructed out of doors

that a much better way of buying

be adopted by billionaires who are
psychicaily uneasy. The Master of

BIKES AND BARBARISM

ICHi OICH! The eighth battalion
of the Black Watch. the famous
" Scotch regiment which retains kilt,
dirk, sporran, skene dhu, feather-bon-
net, plaid, and all the other elegant
relics of barbarism on which Caledoni-
ans pride themselves, is to be mounted
on bicycles. For sheer drollery, this is
ahead of the biggest joke ever written
by Mark Twain or worked into stage
situation by Gilbert and Sullivan. The
battle march of the Black Watch is
hundreds of years old. We regret, but
you do not, that we cannot quote the
original Gaelic. The opening lines in
popular translation, set to the old
blood-stirring tune. are as follows:
I'm the garb of old Gaul, with the fire
of old Rome.
From the heath-covered mountains of
Scotia we come"
And now the British government,
blind and deaf to the humor of the
situation, proposes to make these mod
ern reproductions of ancient barbarism
come, in all their toggery, from the
heath-covered mountains on bicycles.
A proposal to put them into breeches
caused mutiny in another Highland
regiment, the Cameronians, in the ear
lier days of last century. How will the
modern kilties receive the bicycle or
der? Even if they obey, when march
ing" on the bike they will present a
spectacle so weird, so strange, so be-
wildering, so novel that the most siren
uously amusing efforts of the bicycle
funny man at the Shriners' great circus
will be outd0ne.
