For eight months Colorado has been
the theatre of a bitter labor struggle
IN which the coal miners Of the State
have been arrayed against mine guards
strike breakers and the militia. There
has been heavy loss Of life. great dam
age to property, and II One-tenth Of
what each side says OF the other Is
true. Il general disregard for law. At
present the word war" ~ freely used to
describe the situation, apparently not
without reason.
How serious the conditions are is
made plain by the request Of Cover
nor AMMoNs for Federal troops to re-
store order. He declares that "the sit.
uation has passed beyond the ability
Of the State TO control" and in his
message TO the President he bases his
appeal for aid on Section 4 Of Article
~. Of the Constitution. which pro.
yides that
THE United States shall guarantee to
every State in this Union republican
form OF government. and shall protect
each OF them against invasion. and on
application OF the Legislature. or of the
Executive 'when the Legislature cannot
be convened). against domestic violence"
II will be recalled that in President
RoosEvELTs Administration United
states troops were used TO maintain
order in the State Of Nevada. This
was done with great reluctance. and
the Federal Government insisted that
the State take prompt action to rem
edy Its condition Of helplessness and
assume the obligations naturally de.
volving on 1t. Should President WILL
SON feel II necessary to acccde to Gov
ernor AMMoNss demand-it Is by no
means sure that he will--hc would
unquestionably require assurances that
similar measures would be taken by
Colorado.
1t seems Incredible that Colorado
should have exhausted her resources
In her efforts to preserve order. The
suspicion naturally arises that the To-
cal authorities. having difficult and
politically dangerous duty to perform.
have shirked their work and now at,

More Padded Cells Needed.

Nobody would question the authority
or infallibility of any professor of the
University of Wisconsin. whence most
reforms and all knowledge flow over a
lettering world: but where are the
homes of which Professor NJ. V. O'SHEA
speaks when he says;
"The Individual home has been con-
stantly losing its distinctive character.
Fifty years ago, even in the city.
young people and old spent a consider
able part Of their time in their own
homes.
To-day most OF their time is spent
outside. and even when children are In
their own homes their friends are there
with them.
"The home has almost completely
merged with the general social body"
Where, even in the city" do the
young people and old not spend n
considerable part of their time in their
own homes: Professor OSHEA might
be suspected Of referring only to Wis.
consln homes, were II not notorious
that no member of his university thinks
in units smaller than nations or con.
siders any less important than the
general social body" He must mean
New York. and Boston. and Atlanta,
and Spokane: the group activities"
of children in these widely separated
communities are vastly more inclu-
siye and elaborate than they were for
mery." What is the result; Profes-
sor O'SHEA finds that
Young people do not have training
outside Of the school In long continued
application to any task,
They are not trained in workin. in
dependently and in isolation. So the
school really has new problem OF great
Importance and equally great difficulty,
NO civilization can long endure unless
the people are trained to apply themselves
to their tasks whatever they may be. for
4 long time that is to say, until the tasks
are solved"
Obviously isolation wards are needed
for the children If civilization Is to
endure. Some students Of the uplift
think il ought not tn endure: down
with 1t. cry they. Is our salvation

the children in their group activl-
ties? Let us hope that It may he
true. Meanwhile Professor O'SHEA is
surely right about one thing: there Is
too little isolation. More soundproof
padded cells are what a troubled and
bewildered nation needs.

ing hostilities in the Western Henri
sphere.
Unless European events are wholly
adverse there does not. however. seem
to be sufficient reason for the American
business community TO take fright from
stock market discounting Of Mexi-
can war. The liquidation and depres-
sion OF the past twelve months have
been placing American values and bust
ness positions on sound basis. The
strain of war will fail on domestic
situation which has been strengthened
to meet the tests Of great political cx-
periments In the banking and business
field.
The money market is in splendid
shape to accommodate the extra strain
Of war, and with respect to political
influences we are convinced that the
Mexican crisis will work vast change
for the better. II has gone far already
TO blow away the vapors Of delusion
that have been befogging governmental
intellects. The contact with stern re-
alities which war or its prospect en-
forces will compel political minds from
now on to become more intensely prnc.

ment abandons theory for practice IL IL
