LIVING
HISTORY.

ITO SnI.
In recent examination in Bowdoin
College, Me-, regarding the history OF
the present war. the students averaged
about 90 per cent. In a similar exami.
nation in New York University, the
average was So per cent.
To the ordinary intelligent citizen
who keeps his eyes and ears open and
reads the newspapers. such academic
Ignorance is incomprehensible. There
was nothing difficult about the ques.
tons asked. They related simply to
the main facts of the war. Any we'll
informed person should have answer
ed them. 1t is likely that the trades
men from whom the Bowdoin students
buy their supplies would have stood
the test much better. And there's
little doubt that the Greek bootblack
or Italian waiter or nondescript news
boy of New York would have done
better than the students who are sup.
posed to represent the most intelligent
and well-informed element OF our so.
ciety.
Other sections of the country need
not be contemptuous. It's doubtful
whether a better average comprehen-
sion OF current affairs would be found
In any college in the country.
That fact, however, only makes the
situation more astonishing. Here are
thousands of young men presumably
we'll informed about the campaigns OF
Alexander and Caesar and the details
of the First and Second Punic War,
and probably a good understanding Of
the French Revolution, and very likely
even an intelligent knowledge of our
own revolutionary and civil wars, who
seem deliberately to shut their eyes
to the greatest war in all history, and
the most stupendous fact of current
world events.
The trouble appears to be, from
their standpoint, that the war hasn't
yet become history" When it's all
over, and the great weller of human
interests and passions has subsidized,
and the grim problems 1t has brought
to us and all other nations have been
worked out or died out, and all the
effort and slaughter and conflict OF
ideals have become "academic"-then
the students will take courses in it.
and study 1t with interest, and write
laborious essays about it,
Isn't 1t absurd? And this attitude
of ignoring the big events of contem
porary life and never taking any in
tcllectual interest in things until they
are good and dead is characteristic OF
great numbers of people outside of
colleges.
It's especially absurd because the

worth studying than life ever was be.

WHAT IS
AN EDIToRIAL7

Probably never before was history
more widely read. which means, by
the same token that never before have
newspapers exercised so wide an in
fluence, says the Humboldt Star. The
editorial is an expression of the news
papers belief or sentiment. To be
OF any value, It must have behind it
the newspapers reputation for fear
lessness, truth, and fettered incorrup-
tibity. Without these the influence of
the editorial is nullified before II
reaches the printing press. The news.
papers first duty is to give the news.
Its second duty is to comment on the
news-show to what end the news is
tending. whether political, educational,
social or religious, crystalize the SEN
timent in its particular community in
regard to that tendency, and, finally,
to give it's own honest, unbiased
opinion. The editors duty is a sacred
one, and he should be fully alive to
Irs responsibilities. His opinion Oh
any subject should be given only after
serious study, but, when 1t Is given,
1t should be frank and above board.
No one else is bound to think as the
editor thinks, but the editors opinions
go down in black and white and he
ought to have good grounds upon
which to base them. These reasons,
expressed in the editorial, make it
valuable. In fact the editorial stands
or falls because of the reasons It sets
forth showing how the editor arrived
at his opinion. The fighting editor
is usually a man of deep thought
one who bases his opinions on solid
foundations and is willing afterward
to come into the open and fight for
them.

A NEVADA SUNSET

(From Gardnerville Record.)
AS fitting climax to a work I'M
equalled in twenty-three years, the
Sky-God painted the Western heavens
in an exquisite coloring Monday at
the close of day, and the sun set in
gorgeous galaxy of natures wonders.
With Carson Valley blanketed in a
robe OF white, the heaviest known in
twenty-three years, and the mountains
that rear their lofty head over three
thousand feet above the Valley, with
their white heights bathed in n dazzl-
ing glow OF harmonizing colors that
only nature can paint, II was a sight
that attracted the attention of all per-
sons In this Valley.
Orange and green, gold and russell
In wealth of crimson, the sun sank
beneath the western horizon, throw
ing a heterogeneous coloring onto ma
lures blue screen, that was enchant-
Ing and Its wavy indulations of all
hues held one spell-bound with admir-.
alton. The giant pines on the very
crest OF the summit seemed to stand
as mute guards as their stately forms
were shouted on the crimson back
ground. AS the panaroma OF quickly
changing hues passed before the eyes,
blending so perfectly with the white
foreground OF valley and mountain,

PAYING
THE PIPER.

With the Labor Congress of Great
Britain on record as opposing legis-
lation for compulsory military service
and calling on members OF :he latpr
party in parliament to vote against
the compulsory service bill, AMI with
Premier Asquith threatening to retire
from the cabinet if The CONSUMPTION
bill fails Of passage. II may well he
said that Great Britain faces n grave
crisis at home in the midst of war
abroad.
To those unfamiliar with the state
OF affairs which has prevailed in Eng
lanG for many year5 the attitude Of
trades-unionists on various matters
bearing on the prosecution of the war
may appear to he one o! highly un-
patriotic obstinacy. 1t must not he
forgotten, however. that England Is
now reaping harvest of her own SOW.
ing and of generations of cultivation.
The chief aim of government in
England has been the cultivation of
property rather than the conservation
OF human beings. GLASS" divisions
have been encouraged and forced on
the people to degree unknown in
more democratic America. The
working class" has been separated
from the upper classes" by deep
and wide gulf of prejudice and snob-
berry, with the result that the work
ing class" has been literally forced TO
a sense of class consciousness that is
now working to the evil OF British
solidarity
Patriotism is not promoted by op-
preston, and in the final analysis the
British working classes" are hardly
to be blamed for lack of patriotic ar
dor. The best fighter is the on who
has something to fight for That may
account for the good showing made in
the British fighting ranks by the avis.
tocratic and wealthy classes. The
government of England has been for
them; why should they not be for It?
But no student of modern cond lions
in the two cities, who has contrasted
thrifty Berlin with slum.cursed Lon
don, would have the hardihood to adj
wise English workingmen that their
lot will be harder IL Germany conquers
England On the surface, the average
British workingman can see no ad-
vantage to accrue to him or his
through the triumph of England in
this war, and he can see many disad.
vantages accruing in the way of III.
creased burdens of taxes If the war
goes on. From the standpoint OF self
interest, therefore, which is really the
basis Of patriotism, the enthusiasm of
the English workingman for the war
is not deeply stirred.
1t is an unfortunate circumstance
for the British government to find
itself in at this time, but one which
might have been foreseen. Having
danced for centuries to the tune Of
social injustice, England is now pay.
Ing the piper.
