Senator Jones Apologies

Senator Wesley L. Jones of Wash.
ington bitterly assailed the President
and the administration foreign policy
the other day. exhausting his vocabu.
larry and book of synonysm on
"truculent," "cowardly" and "humilt.
ating." The Senator was terribly ex.
ercised over the situation and it look.
ed for time as though he might Sc
cede or declare war against England
The Senator Jones called at the White
House and had an interview with the
President.
The second reel shows Senator
Jones doing a little tatting and fancy
embroidery work on an apology. Il
think l was misunderstood" says Sen
ator Jones, "in that l did not draw the
conclusions myself but took them
from newspaper reports. think it
only just to the President that I make
this statement, because / do not want
to misrepresent anybody"
1t is risky for a statesman to deal
in secondhand conclusions. One of
the marks of statesman is his ability
to draw his own conclusions.

of which the American people want
none. AS the Chicago Tribune well
puts it:
We have no justification for any
other policy which demands an Am
erican army in Mexico. Crimes OF
violence which Senator Fall was able
to recite to the United States Sen
ate were such crimes as fill the rec
ords Of the Chicago police depart
ment. There have been as many
Italians murdered in Chicago as there
have been Americans in Mexico in
the period covered by Falls report.
President Wilson's policy is one OF
doing justice to the Mexican people.
Those who oppose the policy should
be honest enough to admit that they
want a war of conquest; that they
want to attack an inferior people and
take their lands and mines and for.
ests and ranges from them. Presi-
dent Wilson's opponents are endeav-
oring to bring about a war that would
be criminal in its lack of cause and
in its futility of consequence.

Shading the News

During the past year, the Aberdeen
World has omitted no opportunity to
criticize County Assessor r. A. Wiley
and to belittle the work of his office
So long as such criticisms were con.
fined to the editorial columns they
merely conveyed the opinion of the
editor or the interests he represents,
but, when injected into the news
columns Of the paper, they become
not only unfair to the assessors of.
flee, but to the reader as we'll.
Last week the evening paper treat
ed its readers to front page story
that contained just truth enough to
hang falsehood to, concerning a pur-
chase of land made by Assessor Wiley
from Frank Stencil. The World story
said the land was assessed at $500;
that Stencil complained of over val
uation to Commissioner Locke, and
that Wiley, ITO defend his assess.
ment," took over the land at $500
when Stencil insisted that he do so.
The intent of the story is clear,
and convincing if it did not lack the
element of truth. In. the first place,
Assessor Wiley did not assess the
land. That was done in 1912 by his
predecessor. Nor did he demur to
taking the land at the price-which
was named as bluff-but snapped at
1t quick, and has announced himself
in the market for limited number
of similar bargains.

INITIATING LAWS

Unthinking persons are inclined tc
denounce the initiation of laws by
the people owing to the large cost
entailed under the law of this state
But the right to initiate laws should
by no means be condemned in con
sequence. The immense cost of the
operation of the initiative and ref
erendum laws Of this state is the
fault of the legislature which framed
the law, not of the system.
1t was decidedly unwise to enact
such a law as we have. which per.
mits the unrestricted initiation of
laws by anybody sufficiently interest
ed to secure the petition. A provis.
ion requiring that proposed law be
first submitted to the legislature, with
notice Of intent to submit it to a
vote If not enacted would serve the
purpose Of getting such laws as were
generally desired on the statute
books. and the discussion in the leg.
islature would show up the evil fea.
lures Of the undesirable ones to an
extent that would deter their advo.
Gates from invoking the initiative.

A Full School Year

There is nothing surprising about
the position of the Chicago School
Review favoring an all-the-year SEES
sion Of the public schools, which
would give to city boys and girls at
least that continuous opportunity for
betterment and that community su.
pervision of pupils behavior and their
intellectual attainments which today
the average urban home either will
not or cannot give. And this not so
much because parents are unwilling
or because children and youth are re-
bellious as because living conditions
have changed SO much that the vaca.
ton period means for the ordinary
child idleness, resort to the street for
play and to questionable forms of re.
creation. Moreover, evidence gather.
ed from quite another source and bear
ing on another phase of the matter
points to the conclusion that the
present long summer vacation is
longer than it need be to allow teach.
er or pupil the desired change from
the routine of the forty-weeks school
year.
To the layman, who pays the taxes
that build the vast school structures
and that equip them SO munificently
it also is beginning to seem that,
viewed solely as a problem of efficient
management, there is now too much
waste of capitalized popular wealth.
Communities should bring down the
waste-rate on school plant by using
more. The number Of hours for which
it is now used in the course Of year
by the average community is absurdly
small compared with the total number
OF hours in which it is available. Sim.
ply as an efficiency problem, of getting
q maximum of return on capital invest
ed, the plan of full school year ap-
peals to some thrifty advocates of the
experiment.. The School Review
stresses this argument. 1t will doubt
less prove effective with many school
officials who could not be moved to
commend the plan in response to any
altrustic or pedagogical plea.
The success of the University of
Chicago in working out this idea on
its own plane of action naturally leads
its representatives to press for ex-
perimentation with the theory in pub
lie schools, notwithstanding the many
differences that exist between the
two groups of institutions. What is
more likely to happen, in the Moni-
tors opinion, is extension sof the
school year that yet shall not cover
f1fty-two weeks. There must be some
provision for the urban child whose
parents cannot or will not care for
him from mid-June until mid Septem.
Der. But the problem is, how to ad-
just his school rating and studies with
those Of the child whose parents take
him to the country in May and remain
there until October-Christian Science
