1t would seem that Logan's high
school situation presents rather a
serious problem. A few days ago a
woman of the Logan Second ward
went to the Office of the county board
OF education and made the request
that the county permit her to send
her four students OF high school age
to one of the county high schools,
and asked that the county provide
transportation facilities. Her conten-
ton was that 1t would cost her too
much money to send them to either
the Brigham Young College or the
New Jersey Academy the only
schools in Logan offering high school
work. The request could not be
granted by the county school authori.
ties rs they contended that they are
burdened to the limit to take care
of their own students, Some provi-
sion will necessarily have to be made
in the near future to provide a city
high school 1t would seem.

Mr.. Wilson's Sound Logic.

There was no attempt in Presi-
dent Wilson's address last week to
the American business men to shoot
over anybody's head. His language
was so simple and Altogether plain
that he sacrificed much of his fine
literary style in order to get right
down on line with everybody. He
made Big Business sit up and listen
whether or no; he made the
small business man who has so long
realized his impotence against the
modern system and method and pro-
cess, feel that he is on an equality
with any He made the humble be-
ginner who has mistrusted himself
because of the special privilege
class, realize that once more the
door of Opportunity is opened to
all who strive honestly to enter. 1t
was a message of reinsurance. 1t
was a declaration from the man
whose towering statue placed him
upon an eminence, and he was tell
ing the people that the dawn of
the New Freedom had at last ar
rived-that day was breaking! In
what more elevated terms could he
have spoken than to assure men of all
business callings that an atmosphere
of distrust which had so long hung
over the United States was at last
dissipated through the work of con-
gress that had found the right way
to do it. This was the peaceful rem
dering of justice, and which has
made the special interests get out
of the way of common right, reason
and decency. If business is not ex-
actly restored, and it really is not
yet, it is largely due to the wall of
the special interests who still wear
a crouch and won't let it get started.
But it is coming fast

Cheaper Fares.

By offering to meet long-felt
want on the question of cheaper fares
over the Edgewater ferry, the Pub
lie Service is doing commendable
act which must react largely in its
favor. The present rate is exhorbi-
tant. Everybody knows this. 1t has
kept thousands, perhaps, out of New
Jersey. Lowering the rate may
bring thousands in. Like all large
corporations with dividends to earn
the Public Service has long resisted
a lower ferry fare at Edgewater.
1t now sees that the common sense
way OF handle he question should be
on the basis of compromise. The
Freeholders and the Eastern Bergen
Improvement Association deserve
much credit for hanging CT ii their
demands for this great public bene-
fit. Whatever recriminations the
past has developed on this issue,
should all be buried once the final
decision of fair fare is reached 1t
is a long lane that knows no turn
ing.

If there should continue many
things connected with the great war
in Europe that are not compatible
with American sentiment and ideals,
it is no more than should be expected.
Each side in this great struggle is
sure it is right. There is only one
side, dependable on which side one
happens to be. That is all there is to
it. 1t is therefore only fair to sup
pose that both interests are trying
to make the best showing for the
cause each represents. So it comes
about that the American is asked to
look well into the cause of Germany,
and also into the cause of the Allies.
Both are determined to win, not only
the final result, but the support of
the world for their side. Nothing
more natural in the world. The
German-American element in this
country is scarcely less active in
getting busy for it's cause than the
observation-disclosures. Both causes
have representatives in this country
working with a will for their own.
But the American mind is made up
to the idea of strict neutrality, and
is living up to it consistently. Some

THE SMALLER JOURNAL.

Some little comment has recently
been made that the smaller news
papers of the country should not
undertake to give expression to opin-
ions on the wider national topics.
Indeed, the idea prevails in many
newspaper offices that the mission of
publisher is merely to chronicle
events. 1t seems to this journal,
however, that the mission of the
smaller paper is far higher than this.
There is just as much of the human
element in small communities as in
the large, and just as much good
for the general welfare. In fact,
the largest ideas of achievement that
are in use with the great cities of
this country have come from the ru-
raj districts. The influence of the
smaller paper, of course, is limited.
But all good ideas may spread, and
they do spread. The good of any
;ause may with equal propriety be
discussed in the village paper as in
the metropolitan. All ideas find the
light of day at last. Most of the
great writer's of the day have come
from the smaller papers. These fac
tors of daily journalism as rule are
the responsive kind, and the men who
fill the posts have come up from that
closer contact with the public itself
that can never come from the city
bred journalist. When Joseph Pulit-
yer sought to find man to take over
the editorial management of the
New York "World," he had all of the
editorial writings of the best dailies
of the country read to him daily for
several months. There was one pa
per's editorials that always appealed
to him, but he was not told who the
writer was. These editorials were
put together, and finally when he had
heard enough, he asked that the
writer of that particular line of writ
ings be found out. The result was
inevitable; the New York Worlds
editorials to-day are written by a
man who was once very obscure
worker on a small paper.

OUR NEUTRALITY

times something takesplace over here
that causes the Germans to believe
we favor the Allies, and vice versa.
The truth is, America would like
nothing better than to Sc one side or
the other win, or peace come about
in some manner. 1t is hurting things
over here tremendously to have this
war continue. America may be in
dependent enough in one way, but
she is also very dependent upon the
countries of Europe for her real con-
tinious prosperity. We need too many
things made in Europe, and they
need to many things we make or grow
over here, for this thing to continue
without serious damage to American
interests, regardless of what we may
gain in the way of world trade
through the accident of the war it
self. 1t were far better for the old
conditions to be restored with an end
ing of the war, than for America to
control all of the worlds trade, be-
cause Europe alone represent more
value to the United States than the
trade of all of the rest of the world
put together. This is a plain state
ment of the case, and a true one.
