APpRECIATEs JUDGE LOWE

| There is citizen of Kansas City
who has retired from the active prac.
tice of his profession, but who still
feels the obligation of public service
He might have devoted himself to trav-
ell, or to finding enjoyment in various
ways, without assuming any RESPONSE
bilities. He could readily have made
the excuse that he had done his share
while he was younger and that he had
earned the right to recreation.
But he chose instead to give him
self to the cause of good roads. There
was no possible personal advantage
for him to gain. He was not a candi-
date for any office. He was not per-
sonally interested. But he saw the
opportunity to do something that
needed to be done and he accepted the
responsibility.
He studied the subject of good roads
and became one of the authorities on
their history and construction. He
attended good roads conventions. He
became the moving spirit of the or
ganization to promote the building of
transcontinental highways. He gave
effective support to every well d.
rected governmental effort in road
building, and just as effective opposi-
ton to every wrong measure. He was
one of the most effective opponents,
for instance, of the Shackleford pork
tarrel" road bill in Congress.
In the midst of these activities
which made him president of the Ma
tion Old Trails Association he found
time to support every municipal
movement for better government and
for city building. Party allegiance
never kept him from cooperating with
any group of citizens that was work.
ing for the public good.
This high regard for the obligations
of citizenship has made Judge ]. NJ.
Lowe one of the most useful, influen-
tial and honored men of Kansas City.
His life is an inspiration to young
men, an example to men of the older
generations who are under a heavier
obligation to society than they often
realize and who ought to give to some
form of public service the benefit of
the experience and resources which
they have accumulated through the
opportunities offered them by Amer
lean life.-Kansas City Star.

Brazil about three years ago. After
coming here he developed what ap-
peared to be insanity, and, in accord
ance with the custom of the govern
ment in such cases, he was deported.
But Brazil didn't want him either
and sent him back. For more than
a year he has been shuttled back and
forth between the two countries,
travelling 33,74O miles in that time.
The other day just as he was ready
to leave on another lap of the end
less trip. the Commissioner of Labor
interceded. Friends of Cohen had
made an appeal to this official. Cohen
is to be placed in an asylum under
bond of these friends until he can
be deported to Russia.
We had thought there could hardly
be a man without a country, save in
the interesting story of Edward Ever
.ett Hale, but Cohen is not so far from
it. OF course it is all right for So
ciety to protect itself, but couldn't
the method have been little fairer?
Need the two governments have
played ping pong with the man for a
whole year before one could be in
duced to take step to stop the
wrong? And couldn't proper regula-
tions between nations have made such
an incident impossible? Nor has
Cohen found a country yet. Perhaps
Russia will not want him any more
than Brazil did, perhaps his wander
ings are only begun. Certainly this is
a man without a country.

THE CROSS AND THE CRESCENT.

The cross and the crescent are now
side by side in the Turkish army. The
government has issued an order re-
questing that the regulation Red
Cross insignia be used by the Red
Cross hospital corps at Beirut instead
of the red crescent, which it has been
necessary to use in the past. The
Turks always respected the workers
of the Red Cross societies in the ar
mics of their opponents, but consid-
cred the cross the symbol of an enc
my.
Ii is great satisfaction to know
that the work of the Red Cross socie-
ties upon the battlefields of Europe
has placed a different aspect upon the
way the Turk regards the cross. 1t
is a rare tribute to the organizations
that they can pave the way for the re-
moval of some of the religious hatred
between the followers of the cross
and the crescent.

COLUMBIA'S SCHOOL CHILDREN

The public schools of Columbia
rank high in the state. Instead of be-
ing in a class with the smaller cities
Columbia takes a place among the
much larger ones when it comes to
the educational facilities she provides
for her boys and girls. Good build
ings, the best of teachers and ad-
vanced curricula-all are to be had
here.
Yet it is necessary for doctors and
educators to plead for the introduc-
tion of medical inspection into Co
lumbia's schools. AS a matter OF
pride in keeping her high rank, Co.
lumbia ought to look after the health
of her children in such way. But
aside from this more or less superb
cial reason there is the vital one OF
the children's needs. AS the stand
ards of the schools here have been
raised and the work advanced the
children have been given the advant-
age of better education. At the
same time, however, it has made the
work more difficult for them; it has
increased the differences between in
d.vidual students. Some of these diff
ferences are due to a real difference
in mental ability, others to the health
of the children. In this latter in
stance are not the children unjustly
treated?
Should Columbia provide an ad-
vanced schooling for her boys and
girls if she refuses to help them meet
the heavier work, if she requires the
same results from the defective ones
as she does from the perfectly
healthy, if she retards the progress of
those who could easily be helped?
