Undoubtedly home training and
school education are responsible
for the extravagant and irresponsi-
BILE tendencies of the children and
young people of today. Of course
we do not mean to say that either
parents or teachers Intentionally
encourage extravaganza or dis
honesty, but they are not doing
what they should to repress and
correct these dangerous tendencies
and the home and the school are
the two most important factors in
the correction of these faults.
Society at large cannot control to
any great extent the matter of
home training but it can that of
school education.
The great increase in the number
OF big and little ''modern con-
veniences" or luxuries, which in
America are quickly regarded as
necessities" and the national
obsession that the common or poor
people need apd are entitled to
everything that the more well-to-
do classes possess, all these things,
good in themselves but bad in
their excessive use in the aggre-
gate, have encouraged during the
last generation an extravaganza
and responsibility, which inevita-
bly, leads to dishonesty. Many
parents OF the childten of today
are themselves inoculated with the
disease, which means that less
help may be expected from them
and that more of the burden oi
solving the problem devolves upon
the public school.
At the annual convention of the
Pacific Northwest Hardware and
Implement association last January
r. L. Spiker of Lewiston, Idaho
made a decided chit" when hs
suggested it should be part o
the school training to inculcate IL
children the principle of thrift ane
honesty. He argued there is nc
better place to commence teaching
the necessity of telling the trutl
and paying ones honest obliga'
tions than in the public school
and that no teachers should b
hired or retained in the school
who did not themselves set a goo
example along these lines.

port of the meeting of the Koot-

freely circulated and readily signed
and would be presented as soon as

county money disclosed by the in

that the reason many East Green

 backed into the long prepared ring of defenses close to the French capital, and thus given a protection that the enemy did not share. that the German advance was stayed That the credit due the German armies has not been diminished in the least by the equally sudden retreat from Paris to the pre- sent situation in the west. can hardly be gainsaid when it is considered that that famous retiring movement was conducted in the face of an enemy of vastly superior numbers. and which. but for the marvellous skill displayed in it's conduct. might easily have been turned into disaster

The Telegrams from London Satur- day stating that the spanish govern ment has asked the various European Powers to join in a movement to sup press the present disordered conditions in Mexico brings us again face to face with the fact that the policy of the present administration toward the southern country is not viewed with particular favor by Europe, and it is a lso again demonstrated that the
 watchful" attitude of the American government would be speedily diverted to other views if it were not that the great war has temporarily thrown all other matters into the background
 The recent expulsion of the Spanish minister from the Mexican capial by tho Carranza government and also the reported friction between the Carran- zists and the representatives of other powers would in all probability. result in some drastic action being taken by Europe under ordinary conditions and it cannot be concealed that such ac- ton would be fraught with grave pos. abilities for the United States should the government persist in upholding the Monroe Doctrine.

.42sop was an African, though we native
Africans have long known that he was.
His physical characteristics, which a
been minutely described by men who
had seen him. are not the physical char
acteristics of n man of any European
race. Flat nose. pendant lips, crisp
hair. large abdomen. n long head and
dusky complexion does not accurately
describe n white man. That description
is very nearly. II not quite. hat given by
one of his ~biographers, was SO ugly that

result that his uGllness did alright her"
should say hat the early historians
who wrote about 4f,sop were better in
formed as to what race he belonged to
than these modern writer's, some Of whom

as TO the race to which .4csop belonged.
