Education Versus Battleships

In large American cities there IS about policeman
to every two school teachers Thus may be that
regulation law enforcement, the element of fear" if
you choose, has not been wholly removed from our
civilization though education has been strongly
promoted.
Perhaps this is the best to secretary Bryan
announcement to the Chinese visiting delegation the
effect that "half the money spend for battle
ships might better be devoted to educating the young
men of other nations in schools"
If there is thing well established in this world
It that universal education does not make less
inclined to defend what they call their rights The
of iiteracy IN German army recruits is only in
5000 The of teracy in the United States among
the population over 10 years of age 335 IN 5000 On
secretary Bryans basis Of argument, Germany should
be 3s5 times peaceably inclined the United States
Does secretary Bryan think that if educated the
young Of Germany schools" 1t would take all
the fight out of them? If that is the effect of
schooling, perhaps our schooling needs revision.
It is always wrong to fight for a wrong cause. 1t
is right to fight for right after all other methods
Of adjustment have been tried and have failed. Any
schooling that would tend to make submissive under
oppression in the face of injustice would be unwe
and dangerous An educated criminal is worse than
uneducated criminal Nearly all anarchists are edu-
Gated men and women. An educated fool is still
fool An educated coward is still a coward.
EDUCATION of the right sort helps men to restrain
their passions and to bring their nteects and moral
faculties into play. To that extent it guards against

A Progressive olicy

In approving each application for 3ofOOt paving and
wide parking, up the present city admins
tration is following broad and progressive policy of
street and city improvement. In most cases. the paving
companies sign up" streets for 42foot paving; they
after business and the square yards they get
under contract the more money they can make. But
in most cases. when residence streets are "gned up
for 4oot paving 1t is the result of failure of property
to consider the situation consult their
best interests.
There IS why every residence street in the
city, not main traffic way a streetcar street,
should not be paved the 9Ofoot width rather than
the 42-fOot.
This is the way to transform FL Paso.
The whole city be made a park.
It costs less to park than to pave the strip along
the curb.
Property owners viii not only make money directly
in the saving Of part of the paving cost but they will
make money indirectly by improving the appearance of
the street and making It desirable place to live.
Recently West Nevada and California streets have
adopted the 3ofoot width of paving, with consent Of
the council The property took the necessary
steps before 1t too late. After street is
paved too WIDE it viii be changed. But If, 20
so years from now It should become desirable widen
a 3o-fOot street, It be done without loss.
Any street can be parked, and the parking main
tanned by the public under the prevailing system at
very low cost If the property vii petition the
city council Take look at Rio Grande street now,
and see If you don't want to follow suit

Senator Should Be Invited

United States senator Norris Sheppard is El Pasos
good friend. He is in Texas, and could probably
be induced to come here at the time the congressional
appropriations committee is being entertained.
President Orndorff of the chamber of commerce has
already telegTaphed invitation.
It seems as if It would be timely and wise thing
to do for the city and county officials to join the
chamber of commerce in urgent invitation to sena
tor Sheppard to be the guest of the city June 5.
The senator has always taken lively interest in
FL PasO and everything pertaining to its development
and welfare He is always ready to cooperate with E.
Pasoans in any progressive movement needing support
at Washington. FL Paso ought to show her appTeca-
ton of Sheppards tireess efforts in this ctys
behalf His cooperation has been withheld, and
there have been times when his assistance has been
invaluable.
He has campaign on, and his visit could have no
possible political significance at this time He would
come friend and neighbor, and E. Paso would
enjoy having him her guest with the opportunity
show him how the city has used its opportunities thus
far.

GETS AFTER THE sPEEDERs

Editor FL PasO Herald:
In Thursdays issue OF The Herald I
read with interest the grievance" OF
one ". H Halen- I would like to say
10 Mr.. Halen through your valuable
paper. that I have been an eve witness
TO some OF these five and six miles an
hour 'speeders' coming down Mesa
avenue, and VIII say in justice 10 the
flagman, that I consider him a very
fortunate person in getting his train
over these crossings with life and limb
intact
It's the writer's opinion that should
the Ell PasO & Southwestern Railroad
company install gates at these crossings.
IL would also have to install stationary
repair men at either end Of the gates.
for 1 have seen some Of these sOcalled
five and six miles an hour speeders
come down these streets not less than
25 and 80 miles an hour. and I consider
myself a good judge Of speed.
Indeed the FL PasO & Southwestern
Railroad company has made a great
howl about safety First and should
be congratulated upon the many good
things accomplished through Safety
First" and ] believe the public should
help by not jeOpardiZing themselves in
speeding over these crossings at 25 and
30 miles an hour, without looking TO
the right or left
In my opinion, the city should pass
an ordinance prohibiting automobile
divers from visiting" with passengers
on the rear seats, at least when ap-
preaching railroad crossings or in the
downtown district
More Business; Less Speeding.
