Leader insofar as 1t outlines its opin-
ion in the above editorial. But The
Courier also heartily indorses the
European policies Of President Wilson
Mr.. Wilson has done nothing to get US
into war, but he has come out firmly
AMI pointedly in defining the rights of
this and other neutral countries. 1t
is his duty as head of the greatest neu-
trail nation in the world to proclaim the
rights of civilization and the neutral
peoples and to make protests against
violations Of those rights. 1t Is his
duty to so define the rights and priv
ileges of neutrals that when the war
Is over and the time for accounting
comes, civilization will have q basis
from which to work in once more de-
Gliding how far belligerents may 90
without assailing the rights Of nations
at peace If the United States does not
champion the rights of humanity and
civilization, what other nation can do
1t and If none does 1t, what Is to be-
come of the principles OF liberty for
which men have given their hearts
blood since the dawn of time?
TIE Courier does not see anything
warlike or apt to provoke war, IN the
declarations of rights as announced by
Mr.. Wilson to the warning factions.
No threats are made, and no national
honor will compel us to try by force
of arms to secure recognition of our
rights. But when the war Is over and
all nations are at peace, the claims of
the United States will provide q basis
for regenerating civilization.

debt Of gratitude that nothing but your
best service in character and conduct
will ever be able to repay.

SOLDIER OR DIPLOMAT.

General Hugh Scott of the United
States army Is understood to- be on
his way to Mexico to discuss peace with
Villa and other revolutionary leaders.
The administration has evidently tired
of sending confidential civilian agents
ITO see the Mexican chiefs. None of
them accomplished anything; several
of them found 1t hard to keep their
freedom while in the revolt torn land.
The sending Of Scott marks a new
policy that is apt to get results if re-
suits can be secured through mere
talking. Scott is a soldier first and
diplomat next. He will command the
respect of bandits like Villa and other
Mexican chiefs, because their law is
that of the club and Scott represents
force rather than smooth diplomacy.
It is safe to assume there will be little
monkey business" with the soldier
diplomat.
II the pacincation Of Mexico can be
accomplished by mere diplomacy, the
administration has made good choice I
Of the man. Scott Is the man who
ended the revolt Of the Pluto Indians
out in the Rockies recently. II Scott
cant show Villa and the others by
words that 1t is time to cut out the
revolution business in Mexico, then 1t
will be time for tho United States to
have done with diplomacy and take
energetic measures that will bring or.
der out Of the chaos that now exists in
the unfortunate republic to the south.

COST OF BAD ROADS.

The prevailing cost Of hauling over
Che public roads throughout the United
States, is about twenty-three cents per
ton per mile The cost Of hauling on
ard-surfaced roads should not exceed
thirteen cents. In other words, for
lack of good roads the American public
Is paying an unnecessary ten cents on
every ton of wagon-hauled goods NOV
ed q mile in this country. AS there
are hauled over these roads each year
about $50, 000, 900 tons, and each ton
Is hauled an average distance of eight
miles. the bill for hauling is $3.50, 000,-
600. and the amount that might be
saved by providing good roads In $780,
100000.
These figures are vouched for by the
department of agriculture, and are
contained in chapter of its new year
book entitled "State Management Of
Public Roads; It's Development and
Trend" BY J. e. Pennybacker, chief
Of road economics. bureau Of roads.
This authority says that forty-two
states have thus far established high
way departments. and Of these thirty
have actually made appropriations In
aid of road construction and main
tenance, produced mileage of i'm
proved roads of greater in extent than
the entire Routes Nationale' Of
France. and that In 1918 alone total
OF 5000 miles Of state-atded roads
were completed"
Iowa Is given credit by Chief Penny
hacker for having shown the way to
better Improvement Of roads than Is
secured In majority Of states under
local road control.
1.-THE realization has become quite
general" he says, that in order to
render maximum service, state high
way departments should be given
some measure of control over the con-
struction and maintenance OF local
roads. For this class Of roads an
amount exceeding $160,0o0,000 Is ex-
pended annually, with comparatively
little result to show in the form OF
improved road mileage for this great
outlay. The state of Iowa has met
this situation by placing all the road
work in the state under the direction
of the state highway department"
The essential features Of successful
state management, according to this
report. are: (a) the elimination Of poll
tics as q factor in state highway
work: ~ the control Of the state
highway department of all work on
which state highway funds are ex-
pended; (c) adequate appropriations
for continuous maintenance of high
ways under enhcient supervision from
the day the highways are completed:
(d) state supervision as to surveys,
plans, and specifications of roads and
bridges constructed under bond issues,
and supervision Of such other road and
bridge work a. requires considerable
cash outlay and the exercise of en-
cheering skill and knowledge.

The Collapse of Education
Does Not the War Prove the Failure of Half Educa-
ton, or of No Education?
FRANKLIN TIIW1NG
University

Not the collapse Of education, but
the collapse of half-education, or OF no
education. The war proves the evil of
the lack of education, not the evil OF
the fact Of education.
Education stands for fine and large
judgment, for the power to weigh evil
dence, for the ability to analyze COM
pick conditions, for the force to put
together facts that belong together for
the power to take wide vision - In a
word, for the trained mind. Education
stands for the logical or reasoning fac
iulty well adjusted to its work It
stands for truth as an object worthy
of search, as an ideal to be struggled
for, as prize worthy of the highest
effort. Education means intellectual
sympathies,, the quality to put ones
self into the others place. It means
considerateness. 1t means construc.
tive Imagination, an intellectual sense
of values and of proportions, sense
too, of intellectual detachment as well
as quality of intellectual combina-
ton.
Were these the qualities which were
most manifest in Berlin or Vienna on
the last days of July and with the first
days of August in the year 1914? 1t
was not education, but the lack of edit
cation that caused the war.
Education stands for moderation of
the heart as we'll as of the intellect It
represents purity of motive, holiness
of purpose, unwillingness to impose up
on another an unworthy aim, prefer
ence to be rather victim than an
agent of evil. 1t stands for self.depre-
citation, for humility, even for modesty,
as 1t did In the Humanist Revival of
the fifteenth century. 1t denotes the
lack of arrogance, the absence of
bumptiousness and cockiness. It in
Inmates a possibility that ones self can
be mistaken and that ones antagonists
may have a right and sound interpre-

a aAcRlElcE HIT.

In baseball parlance there is what
is known as a blunt" or sacrifice
hit" A sacrifice hit is good ball play
ing If properly timed. It is generally
done when nobody IL out and there is
man on first The next man that
comes to bat knows the danger of q
double play In case he hits to the in
field and Of the vselessness Of fly to
the outf1eld, which would only result III
his own out without advancing the
runner.
So he decides to make q sacrifice hit.
He hits slow erounder that taxes the
opposing players to get him at first
and which practically precMdes the
possibility of their getting the runner
advancing to second ON the play
The man who made the sacrifice hit
may be put out in the attempt to reach
first base, but his bunt advanced the
other fellow to second and put him
where a good clean hit will bring him
home with score. The sacrifice hit
is one OF the best stunts in baseball
strategy. All the player gets who
made the sacrifice is notation on the
score card; the other fellow gets credit
for the run II one is scored. Appropos
the sacrifice hit, The Iowa Farmer
says:
Baseball is not the only game where
the scofe hinges on a sacrifice. When
you see q woman, wearing last sea-
sons hat while her daughter goes fair
" we'll dressed to school or in society
Just jot it down that the girl Is being
advanced base by sacrifice hit.
When father refuses to take vacation
trip, that he may recuperate from a
seasons toll and devotion to his work,
in order that some new comfort may
be added to his home or his son may
be permitted to spend year or two
more in college so that he may gradu-
ate with his class, he makes sacrifice
hit that advances the boy SO that he
may be able to scOre.
In one way or another the sacrifice
hit is being worked all through the big
game that is going on all about us day
in and day out Usually 1t Is father
or mother but sometimes son or
daughter who is called out by the UNI
pire when the sacrifice hit was made,
but some loved one was permitted to
score thereby.
"A bunt is a good way to play the
game il the sacrifice is made at the
nrnnAr time. It o{teRtimes makes

AMERICA SHOULD KEEP OUT.

What the English note to America
makes plain, as the several German
notes have made plain before, is that
nobody in Europe has any quarrel
with uS, or wishes to have any quar-
rel with US, but being engaged In a
life and death struggle among theu1-
selves no reasonable advantage in the
Aght will be sacrificed because of the
Incidental interests of this country.
There Is no disposition to assail
America nor to jeopardize American
interests. But America as the inno-
cent bystander cannot expect to re-
ceiye quite the attention that would
naturally be given In times Of peace
and commercial intercourse.
I To make such situation the oc-
ssasion OF belligerency or even to
break of diplomatic relations with
either Germany or England would In
tho first place accomplish nothing,
for in tho end all We can claim will
be damages, and would most certain
~ greatly weaken the American posi-
ton whom the time comes to make
American influence felt.
What has America to gain by bel
ligerency or by breaking diplomatic
relations with any nation that has
not directly assailed the national
honor? The losses We are suffering
AZ innocent bystanders would be
nothing AZ compared with the cost
of war or even the cost of getting
ready for war And the cost Of
war or getting ready for war
would be incidental to the real loss,
which will be II we forsake our pres
ent position, a loss of standing and
prestige, the loss of directing hand
in the final adjustment OF world
policies.
America has just one stake in this
time of trouble-what will. be done
when the war is over We shall
have the wealth, we shall have the
commerce, we shall have the in
viting field, we shall have the direct
ing hand II we but keep our heads
and stand true to our history. Now
Ssc not the time to throw away our
Lat for q shadow. Now is not the
.e to be picking quarrel with
melody who is not bent on pick
y quarrel with us.-Des Moines

tation. 1t stands for love as an emo.
ton, as an affection, as an appreciation.
1t means courtesy, grace, the graces,
graciousness
Were these the qualities which were
most manifest in the chancelleries of
Europe in July and August of the year
1914? 1t was not education, but the
lack Of 1t that caused the war.
Education also represents a good
will. 1t means a choice for the bet
terment of all. It inspires endeavors
for the public well being. It means tho
giving of the righteous will to the state
and to the individual citizen. It means
obedience to the divine Thou shalt"
or Thou shalt not" 1t means loving
God first and loving ones neighbor Is
ones self. It means voluntary sacrt
fee for ones friend.
Were these the qualities which were
exercised in the European capitals
during July and August in the year
1914? 1t was not education but half
education that caused the war.
Education stands for sense Of tho
beautiful. It stands for federation. It
means gentleness without weakness,
tactfulness without obseQuiousness,
mental and moral integrity, patience
without sluggishness, magnantmity
without visionariness, and spirit OF
idealism clothing one as a garment. It
represents ambitions for ends highest,
deepest, broadcast, and suspension of
judgment in times Of crisis. It stands
for the fine art of living, for the sum.
moning of best powers for best aims.
1t stands for the best results achieved
through wisest methods by strongest
forces under happiest conditions.
Were these qualities and elements to
which effect was given in the capitals
of Europe in the months of July and
August, 1914? 1t was not education,
but the lack of education that caused
the war.
