Police Matron Anna Roberts Of
Sioux City, attributes the downfall Of
young girls in the majority Of cases
to the attention given them by fir
tatiously inclined young men. Atten'
tions which are harmless enough at
the start, but develop with surprising
rapidly. "Of course" asserted Mrs
Roberts, in an interview in the Sioux
City Tribune, there are several DIFF.

to use in each case.

there are girls who will be bad in
spite OF all. Usually they are Of the
type who are not subject to reform, no
matter what you do for them. and the
only way to handle them with any
success at all Is to watch them con.
tinually and permit them to zee that
they must mind you. In these cases
one must often rebuke them unto the
point Of being harsh.

the matron, "who have had bad be-

IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICA

This country is about tired of having foreigners
visit it and get impressions to take back home
with them for in books The practice has already
done too much damage. Impressions of America
which Charles Dickens published years ago still
have their effect on Englishmen preventing them
from knowing the real America of to-day. The
criticisms of other visitors less conscientious than
Dickens, have done even more harm.
We in this country are bored by published i'm
pressions of u.s. and in some instances disguised.
We realize that no alien can form honest and accu-
rate opinions of us during brief visit in few
sections OF our vast country, among the members
of but class of our society. We do not care in
the least to know what such person thinks of us.
The Irish novelist Birmingham in an interesting
book of experiences just off the press, tells how he
had sailed for America with carefully prepared
comments on this country in readiness for the New
York reporters, having expected them to question
him first thing regarding his impressions of the
United States. But he disappointed. The re-
porters asked him about conditions in Ulster
The American press, and hence the great public
whose wants it knows, does not care TO hear for
eigners talk about this country, of which they can
know little but rather about their own native lands
of which they are supposed to know great deal

amendment into a state of the Union and desire
that this new state have United States Senator
and Representatives to correspond with popula-
ton. They further request the power to recall
Commissioners appointed for them by the Presi-
dent and to pass fiscal legislation enacted for
them by Congress. Then, too, they insist on having
a voice in the election of the presidents who dwell
in their midst.
Whatever the disadvantages may be of enfran-
chising the residents of Washington and the plan
of course has its drawbacks we must admit that
they are peculiarly well qualified to take an active
part in the conduct of national affairs, situated as
they are at the seat of the nation and in constant
touch with the affairs of government.
AS proof of the intelligence Of Washingtonians,
take President Wilson's newsboy! When he deliv-
cred papers at the White House the other day, he
drew Secretary Tumulty into conversation about
the President message to Congress, subsequently
explaining that he had to submit essay on the
subject at school and thought he might as well get
his information direct from headquarters.
That boy by keeping his eyes and ears open,
will learn lot about the government of the United
States, yet if he continues to be resident OF Wash
ington when he reaches legal age, and the laws
have not changed, he will have voice in the
conduct of national affairs.

OUR LACK OF PREPAREDNESS DOESN'T
MATTER

The mtarism which of the people dread is killing
itself. 1t will not survive this war
Thus briefly the New York ''W orld this morn
ing convincingy answers all the arguments OF
those frightened persons who think this nation
should plunge into campaign of extravagant ex-
penditure to make United States prepared for
war"
1t is not unnatural that timid Americans should
show some alarm over the fact, the 'fWorld" "
points out, that they have national obliga
tons, international law and the claims of cviliza
tion lightly disregarded'' by the nations involved
in the great struggle beyond the seas. All these
things have tardly impressed on Americans how
unprepared we all along have been for war, but
the fact is the possibility is past of the United
States needing standing army the size of those
of the great European Powers or naval equip
ment equal to theirs. 1t is past at least for many
years to come.
Even admitting very remote possibility of our
becoming involved in the present fght-on one
side or the other,-there is no need now for us to
spend hundreds of millions for battleships and
new armies. No nation involved in the present
strife could or would attempt to come in and crush
us,-even with present limited military equip
ment,-for all of them have all they can attend to
Again, assuming, as seems altogether probable
that We will succeed in maintaining our neutrality
throughout the present conflict, all the nations at
present involved will be Impoverished at the
close of these hostites that revulson of feeling
against militarism is to result among their
people which will certainly, together with their
depleted treasures, have the effect of preventing
them from building up anew the tremendously ex-
pensive fighting machines that are now so rapidly
being reduced to junk.
The fact is America has never been prepared for
war with any of the great European Powers 1t is
true many of us probably never realized it. We
have lived in state of utopian ignorance of what
! might have happened to us through the lack of
navy strong as those of the world Powers and
the lack of army as large theirs but the dan
ger now is past At the close of the present war
it will be years before the Powers abroad can build
up new fighting machines of anything like the size
and strength of those their enemies are now de-
stroying if popular sentiment in those nations does
not eliminate the evil of miliarism in lasting and
effective way.
We have escaped foreign invasion thus far -
through good luck, perhaps,-but will escape it
in the future through the fact that none of the
Powers will have anything left to fight with. Why,
then, should we now waste hundreds Of millions of
dollars to prepare for war that no one will be
able to make?
